Noah's Ark Is (Still) in Turkey

I'm often amazed at our lack of knowledge about history. Ordinary people are hungry for this information, yet the organizations responsible to disseminate these facts seem to have an agenda to keep us in the dark. This is especially true when it comes to our ancient human history.
I won't hold you in suspense with this article: The Ark of Noah has been found. It's real. I'll describe the evidence in some detail and end with the historical and religious implications.

["Noah's Ark?", LIFE, 1960]

The discovery

In 1960 the picture [above] was published in LIFE magazine under the heading of, Noah's Ark? That same year a group of Americans accompanied Capt. Durupinar to the site for a day and a half. They were expecting to find artifacts on the surface or something that would be unquestionably related to a ship of some kind. They did some digging in the area but found nothing conclusive and announced to the anxiously waiting world that it appeared to be a natural formation.

"This data does not represent natural geology. These are man made structures. These reflections are appearing too periodic... too periodic to be random in that type of natural pace."

The Difference Between Religion and “Spirituality”

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2010/02/11/the-difference-between-religion-and-spirituality/

Generally, we can come to a conclusion on something through a set of thoughts experienced within the mind, which is really nothing more than reading something or being told something and taking it as absolute truth based on that set of thoughts. This is a belief system – Religion. Or we can cease to make our thoughts our identity and remain much closer to our true essence, where we can see without blinders (the mind or set of thoughts) what we are experiencing.
Being religious is essentially an identity the ego grasps onto in order to keep itself fulfilled in a role it is choosing to play. Essentially, the ego now thinks that through thought, which is very limiting, it has found and experienced an absolute truth and in order to keep its identity alive, the very nature of “absolute,” will not allow it to “die.” Since the ego’s main goal is survival, it achieves this very easily by attaching to religion. (thinking, believing a set of thoughts)
It comes down to being locked up in the mind (thought and belief) vs. allowing the ego to not have an identity, not allowing the ego to strive to find a role it can latch onto. There is a general fear that we must BE something or know who we are and what we are about – “we” do not, only our ego does. When you recognize the awareness behind the labels and beliefs you have, you have found the consciousness or SELF behind the ego, showing you “spirituality” – that which lies beyond the false sense of self.

Dominion of Melchizedek

http://www.melchizedek.com/dom/index.html

The Dominion of Melchizedek (mal-khay-tzed-ek) is a recognized ecclesiastical and constitutional sovereignty. As a rapidly expanding, post-modern state, the Dominion's activities are governmental, spiritual, political, educational and humanitarian. References are made to Melchizedek's eternal sovereignty throughout Hebrew and Christian Holy Writ. All monotheistic religions spring from the blessing Old Testament Abraham received from Melchizedek, the righteous king of peace and history's first monotheistic teacher of God, the Most High.
Due to the fact that information about Melchizedek was almost exclusively and early found on the Internet, the Dominion was declared by NBC News to be the first nation on the Internet.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the Dominion of Melchizedek:

The Dominion of Melchizedek is an Ecclesiastical Sovereign Nation State, which lays claim to an ancient tradition dating back to the Biblical Salem (modern Jerusalem) over which Melchizedek was the sovereign.

The people of Melchizedek desired independence so their leaders signed a formal Constitution on 7 July 1991, thereby forming a government of the people based upon ecclesiastical and democratic principles.

On 26th November 1994, the Dominion of Melchizedek acquired full ownership and sovereignty over the Karitane Islands in the South Pacific and on the 5th of May 1999 acquired sovereign rights over the Taongi Islands in the North Pacific from the island’s Iroijlaplap. In the year 2000, Rotuma, which is north of Fiji, signed a constitution, wherein Melchizedek was granted all of the same rights and privileges enjoyed by the Vatican in Rome, and Melchizedek acquired sovereign rights over Solkope, one of the 7 islands surrounding Rotuma.

The formerly unclaimed 90-150 degrees West Antarctica was claimed by Melchizedek in 1990, and said claim was published in The City Paper in Washington DC in 1991.

El misticismo en la mecánica cuántica: una controversia olvidada

·El debate sobre mente y materia se ha reducido a la dicotomía ciencia versus religión.
http://www.tendencias21.net/El-misticismo-en-la-mecanica-cuantica-una-controversia-olvidada_a3370.html

A principios del siglo XX, un grupo de físicos europeos revolucionó el mundo al desvelar el extraño funcionamiento de la materia a nivel microscópico. Fue entonces cuando ciertas mediciones revelaron que, de alguna manera, la conciencia humana podía influir en la composición de la realidad. Inmediatamente, se creó un debate entre los físicos materialistas -que negaban cualquier subjetivismo en la ciencia- y los físicos idealistas, que defendían que el ser humano podía ser a un tiempo actor y observador del mundo. Este apasionante debate decayó a mediados del siglo XX, dando paso a la consabida dicotomía “ciencia vs. religión". El historiador Juan Miguel Marín, de la Universidad de Harvard, propone sin embargo que los físicos actuales no olviden las interpretaciones iniciales de los físicos fundadores de la teoría cuántica, porque a través de ellas podría enriquecerse la perspectiva de la física moderna.
Juan Miguel Marín, historiador de la Universidad de Harvard, acaba de publicar en el European Journal of Physics un artículo en el que habla de la controversia entre misticismo y materialismo que, a principios del siglo XX, se generó a partir de los descubrimientos de la física de partículas.
Marín se pregunta en dicho trabajo si el misticismo tiene aún un lugar en la mecánica cuántica de hoy día o, por el contrario, la idea de que la mente juega un papel en la creación de la realidad ha sido trasladada ya por completo al ámbito de las reflexiones filosóficas.
En la revista PhysOrg.com, que publica una síntesis del artículo del historiador con declaraciones suyas, se explica que el origen del debate se produjo en Alemania, en los años 20 del siglo pasado, y que estos “enfrentamientos” entre físicos materialistas e idealistas de entonces fueron muy distintos a los debates que hoy día generan entre científicos religiosos y científicos ateos.
