How many women have won the Nobel Peace Prize?
Only ten to date. About one hundred prizes have been awarded
overall.
What Baroness not only won the Nobel Peace Prize, but
inspired Alfred Nobel to back it financially?
Baroness Bertha von Suttner, who was awarded the Nobel in
1905 for her antiwar efforts, was a friend of Alfred Nobel
and inspired him to back the prize financially. Nobel is
said to have always been interested in the cause of peace,
but was particularly inspired by von Suttner's activism.

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
------------------------------------
We Start Early!
A father is in church with three of his young children,
including his five year old daughter. As was customary, he
sat in the very front row so that the children could
properly witness the service.
During this particular service, the minister was performing
the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five year old girl
was taken by this, observing that he was saying something
and pouring water over the infant's head.
With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned to
her father and asked:
"Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?"
WOW! Out of the mouthes of babes!
If this child only knew how deadly serious the truth was
that just came out of her mouth.
Yes! We are ALL brainwashed early. We are ALL BRAINWASHED
early in all things. Let me repeat that.
WE ARE ALL BRAINWASHED EARLY IN ALL THINGS.
I know this little story is about church and some of you
think I am speaking only of our religious training. Yes, big
time, we are brainwashed early in religion BUT, not only
religion.
I want to paint a picture for you. Let's say life was
different than it is. Let's say you could go through
childhood, puberty, teenage years and early adulthood
without a care in the world. Let's say you did not have to
work during that time. Let's say you could go to school to
do your book learning and you were never in danger, never
under pressure to "prepare" for your adult life and while
book learning was important it really did not matter what
else you learned.
Let's say that life was so different that everybody at age
24 left home to go into a "special life preparation school".
This "school" is run by angels with special powers.
Everybody would have to go through this "school" for a one
week period before they entered the "outside world", where
they went to work and had all the things they wanted and did
all the things they wanted to do.
While in this "school" everyone had seven days to look at
all the choices they had with which they could run their
lives for the rest of their lives and this "special school"
was the preparation for adulthood.
So, after thinking about all the choices that were laid out
before us we now had to make choices, getting ready for the
"last day of this special school". We were offered career
choices, you know, doctor, minister, nurse, social worker,
scientist, actor/actress, truck driver, plumber, carpenter,
pilot, government worker, sailor. All the choices were laid
out for us.
Also all lifestyle choices were laid out for us. We could
choose to be rich, poor, kind, tough, rough, loving, cold,
hard, arrogant, snobbish, polished, polite, giving or being
a taker, wise, uncaring, you know, the genie in the bottle
thing giving you your wish for life.
In addition to that you could choose how you would be
remembered when your life was over. You could disappear
without anyone knowing or caring. You could be grieved by
many for you served so many, helped so many, you were a real
"Godsend" to hundreds of people. You, could simply leave
this world as so many do, being loved by your family and
friends, having lived the good and courageous life,
providing for and loving your family and friends as best you
could.
The last day of this "special school" was a "special day".
The angels took you into an operating room and laid you down
on a table. The room is filled with light and love and
there, quietly, without pain, sorrow, hard work or
suffering, they simply removed all the thoughts out of your
head that were contrary to your "choices" and implanted all
the "choices" you had made.
When you were fininshed this "special school" you were
ushered out a "very special door" into the real world fully
equipped to do what you had to do to live the life you just
chose. This process, the things that happened on the "last
day", the very "special day" came to be a process known by a
"special name".
Isn't that a wonderful thought? Wouldn't it be nice if we
could all go through life this way, knowing exactly at every
point how things were going to turn out? Wouldn't it relieve
us of tremendous pressure and stress if our lives were
charted like this and we could make the choices rather than
have them imposed upon us. Wouldn't it be nice to be this
free and feel, still, that we were doing right, making the
right choices, living our lives right, teaching our children
right?
Oh! Yes, that "special day"? They called it our -
"birthday".

To Be Vaccinated Or Not To Be Vaccinated
Do Some Serious Deliberation Before
You Offer Your Arm
PART 8 of 15
It is really important to understand that these "mobile
clinics" are meant for people who are healthy. They are
called “wellness” clinics. They are not meant for people
with health problems or those considered "high risk". Those
individuals PLUS their extended families should go to their
family physician. (This routine differs a little from
country to country…and the requirements change from year to
year.) In the majority of cases, you have one nurse and no
medical emergency back up. So if we come across anyone who
we suspect might have a reaction, it is our responsibility
to send them to a facility where more help is available. I
don’t think I would enjoy waiting in line for my shot,
watching a nurse taking a blood pressure on someone who has
just had a reaction and is lying on the ground in the
vegetable department. (That’s usually where they put this
type of clinic!)So if you have been turned away at such a
clinic, be grateful for the caring nurse who is doing you a
big favour!
If you suspect you are pregnant or are in the early phases
of pregnancy, discuss this with your doctor. Remember the
first trimester of the pregnancy is the crucial one for the
fetus development. (If you are breast-feeding, discuss this
with your family physician.) But ask yourself if you are
healthy and have just had a baby, do you rally need this flu
shot? If you have any questions or concerns, please contact
your doctor. They know you best and know how you fit into
any other health challenges as well. I am trying to create
awareness and get you to think seriously about something you
may not be completely aware of. If you are healthy and your
immune system is keeping you well, you rally shouldn’t need
a vaccination.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET

THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places.
The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure
is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story.
It will change your life. Go to

your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"Don't forget, man would have an almost insurmountable
task to do these things. Firstly he would have to somehow
stumble upon it. Man will never find it if he is looking for
it for we have caused that shield to be placed in front of
the lower entranceways. Man will never see it, not even
through a dedicated search through a telescope. The chances
of him stumbling across it are so remote they cannot be
measured.
So, why? This permits us a habitat wherein the silence
is what helps us re-energize. It offers us peace without
confusion or other requirements. We prize these qualities to
the end we will never permit anything to destroy it. Hence,
man will never find it."
"So you set it up that only those who live by higher law
can see and visit."
"Yes, but not only that. Even those who live by higher
law do not "stumble" into it. Those who live by higher law
and come here are those who are supposed to come here. It is
not by chance this or the world turns. All things have
purpose, meaning and none is coincidence. That is why those
who live by higher law know and understand that all things
are for good for those who live by the laws of their Maker."
Once inside the room with the huge rock door closed,
Sien caused light to appear, that all might see where they
were going. They followed him up the stairs to the next
level.
Here they found many rooms, all small yet large enough
to permit ten people to sleep on the floor.
"We use this area for our meditation rooms. We caused
many rooms in order to keep those in meditation from
interfering with others in meditation, you know, shuffling
of the feet if you change position, breathing differences,
those kind of things. We want absolute silence for
meditation, so with many small rooms we cannot hear what is
going on in the next room. We have silence. There you will
find power."
"How many rooms do you have here, Sien?" asked Eloise.
"Between these on this level and those on the next level
we have near 200 such rooms. Notice as you look down the
hall that some have little white flags sticking out. Those
rooms are presently occupied. Later, when it is your turn to
use the rooms you, too, will put out your flag."
They walked into one of the rooms. There was no direct
doorway in. You had to walk through a doorway and make an
immediate turn, walk three paces and make another turn, take
one pace and turn again so yo were now coming back. At the
end of the second hallway was a doorway into the room
itself.
"Wow! You really do want these rooms silent." observed
Tom.
"Yes, Tom. We also do not want light in the room until
its occupant is ready. With the entranceways designed as
they are we have no unwanted noise or light penetrate the
silence."
At the end of a very long hallway they came to a dead
end, or so they thought. Then Sien pushed hard on part of
the wall that ended up being a huge rock carved and placed
within the wall. Simultaneous with Sien pushing on one part
of the wall another part of the wall was moving out into the
area occupied by the group. They all moved over toward Sien.
When Sien had finished pushing he stood and observed
that the part of the wall that had moved out was a stairwell
permitting access to the upper level.
"The reason it was hard to push this wall in is that
upstairs it also pushed back a section of floor to permit
the opening to give us access. When we are up there we can
push on another section of wall and the stairwell will once
more be pushed into the wall."
"The designers of this monastery must have thought long
and hard to figure all this out."
"That they did, Tim, that they did. Come."
With that they walked up the stairs and into the last
level.
They found this level to be immense, a good city block
long and wide. At the end where they were there were more
rooms for meditation. Beyond that there was a huge room with
pillars every 50 feet supporting the rock above. This room
was the only room in the monastery that had color. The walls
were all red with ornate gold trimming throughout. There was
light in this room all the time and the light seemed to come
from everywhere, such that there were no shadows. The love
in this room was intense and permeated all who had the
privilege to attend.
Sam was remembering back at his conversations with Mae
and Susan on their visit to this monastery. He did not
remember them speaking of such a room.
"No, Sam, Mae and Susan did not get to see this room.
This has been given to you and your family to see. This is
where we meet when Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus wish to speak
to us. Oh, we can meet elsewhere too. We have set up this
room so the colors are pleasing and warm, the ambiance is
good. We keep the light and the warmth this way all the
time. It never varies even when there is no one in this
room. Sometimes the Temple of the White Brotherhood meet
here."
Sien said nothing more for he knew he had Sam's mind
racing into questions only he could find answers to.
"From here, folks, we can exit up top onto the top of
the escarpment or we can return the way we came. May I
suggest we go one floor lower and set you each up with a
meditation room. There you can attend upon your daily
meditations. When you have finished you all know the way
back to the eating area. I will await you there."

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
In The Groove: Why do we say in approval of a musician's
improvisations, "He's in the groove"?
The allusion is to the phonograph record and needle. When
the needle is "in the groove" the music sounds fine; when it
is out of the groove it's terrible.

HA! HA! HA!
An English professor was reading Canterbury Tales to his
class and noticed that one of his students had fallen
asleep. The professor was annoyed enough to send the book
spinning through the air and bounce it off the sleeper's
skull.
Startled awake, the student asked what had hit him.
"That," said the professor, "was a flying Chaucer."
