Contact lenses with circuits, lights a possible platform for superhuman vision

Movie characters from the Terminator to the Bionic Woman use bionic eyes to zoom in on far-off scenes, have useful facts pop into their field of view, or create virtual crosshairs. Off the screen, virtual displays have been proposed for more practical purposes – visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and even as a way to surf the Web on the go.

The device to make this happen may be familiar. Engineers at the University of Washington have for the first time used manufacturing techniques at microscopic scales to combine a flexible, biologically safe contact lens with an imprinted electronic circuit and lights.

"Looking through a completed lens, you would see what the display is generating superimposed on the world outside," said Babak Parviz, a UW assistant professor of electrical engineering. "This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it's extremely promising." The results were presented today at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' international conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems by Harvey Ho, a former graduate student of Parviz's now working at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif. Other co-authors are Ehsan Saeedi and Samuel Kim in the UW's electrical engineering department and Tueng Shen in the UW Medical Center's ophthalmology department.

There are many possible uses for virtual displays. Drivers or pilots could see a vehicle's speed projected onto the windshield. Video-game companies could use the contact lenses to completely immerse players in a virtual world without restricting their range of motion. And for communications, people on the go could surf the Internet on a midair virtual display screen that only they would be able to see.

"People may find all sorts of applications for it that we have not thought about. Our goal is to demonstrate the basic technology and make sure it works and that it's safe," said Parviz, who heads a multi-disciplinary UW group that is developing electronics for contact lenses.

The prototype device contains an electric circuit as well as red light-emitting diodes for a display, though it does not yet light up. The lenses were tested on rabbits for up to 20 minutes and the animals showed no adverse effects.

Ideally, installing or removing the bionic eye would be as easy as popping a contact lens in or out, and once installed the wearer would barely know the gadget was there, Parviz said.

Building the lenses was a challenge because materials that are safe for use in the body, such as the flexible organic materials used in contact lenses, are delicate. Manufacturing electrical circuits, however, involves inorganic materials, scorching temperatures and toxic chemicals. Researchers built the circuits from layers of metal only a few nanometers thick, about one thousandth the width of a human hair, and constructed light-emitting diodes one third of a millimeter across. They then sprinkled the grayish powder of electrical components onto a sheet of flexible plastic. The shape of each tiny component dictates which piece it can attach to, a microfabrication technique known as self-assembly. Capillary forces – the same type of forces that make water move up a plant's roots, and that cause the edge of a glass of water to curve upward – pull the pieces into position.

The prototype contact lens does not correct the wearer's vision, but the technique could be used on a corrective lens, Parviz said. And all the gadgetry won't obstruct a person's view.

"There is a large area outside of the transparent part of the eye that we can use for placing instrumentation," Parviz said. Future improvements will add wireless communication to and from the lens. The researchers hope to power the whole system using a combination of radio-frequency power and solar cells placed on the lens, Parviz said.

A full-fledged display won't be available for a while, but a version that has a basic display with just a few pixels could be operational "fairly quickly," according to Parviz.

Now, it was already the opinion of this blogger that technology is becoming simply rediculous, and after reading this article, I am now completely convinced. To what end or purpose are resources being wasted on such things? (and how did scientists get a contact lense into a rabbit's eye?) There is no reason for anyone, at any time to need a contact lense with a computer chip embedded in it. I believe they want to slowly wean us into trusting technology to the point where we, even now, depend on it. When they first started putting micro-chips in dogs in 1999, I immediately thought, "Hmmm, now it's just a matter of time before they introduce it to humans." Sure enough, in 2003 Russia began putting micro-chips in humans. Now we have Bill O'Reilly and a slew of other crazies agreeing that it's a good idea to put these things in children in case they are kidnapped! First of all, the law of attraction should be taught to children at a young age, where in they have the power through there own mind to prevent any such occurence. Our brains are the most advanced technology on the planet, and here we are purposely using and relying on lesser quality technology! Sad really. In conclusion, if you ever turn on the TV and hear the government is calling for mandatory micro-chip injections, and they say its for national security or otherwise...don't say I didn't tell you so. God bless.

Nikola Tesla Patents And Free Energy Source

For those of you who don't know, Nikola Tesla is an inventor from the late 1800's who has been accredited with "inventing the 20th century". It has been said that Tesla was able to run a car on absolute free energy, as well as being able to power large quadrants of land containing many buildings with free energy towers. Sadly, an abundance of his greatest work has been supressed by you know who, and for you know why. Needless to say, some of Tesla's work is being rediscovered in laboratories around the world, and it is only a matter of time before fossil fuels are deemed useless, which could have been done over a century ago. Have a look at the patent list and I'll continue afterwards. (Note the dates & highlighted items)

These are just the inventions that were patented. Many of Tesla's inventions were declined patents, which I will get more into later in the article. Now as you can see, Nikola Tesla invented not 1, but MANY electro-magnetic motors which were proven to move a vehicle over a hundred miles as reported. As we scroll further to here: (Apr. 24, 1888 Regulator for Alternate-Current Motors #390,820 192) we see the term "Alternate Current" is used. It is well known that after Tesla's invention of the electro-magnetic motor, he discovered a way to harness a free, all-pervasive energy source, also known as akasha, or aether, to power many of his devices, i.e.: June 12, 1889 Method of Obtaining Direct from Alternating Currents #413,353 197.

As noted in the highly recommended book, The Holographic Universe, "The aether that pervades the entirety of space, which has now been detected, is not static, but in a continous state of oscillation." Note Tesla's term, "Alternating Currents". This points to the fact that Tesla knew of the aether, and as the correct history tells us, harnessed it for his prototypes and devices. Modern science now calls the aether, 'The Unified-field', and scientists such as John Hagelin and William A. Teller are now working towards many inovative uses and applications for this field, from unlimited protection to all nations, to miraculous healing capabilities.

As mentioned before, even today these systems and means of obtaining free energy have been re-made, but declined patents for obvious reasons. Even John Kansas found a way to run a small engine by literally 'igniting' ordinary salt water, which can be seen here. It astounds me that this information is getting no media coverage and no assessment from politicians what so ever. One would think in a truely free and moral society that funds would be deticated to the mass production of any of these devices, yet we are led to believe no such technology exists. It is my belief, and common sense would agree, that the same people who own the oil companies and some of the richest people in the world have a strong influence on the patenting system. Therefore, anything that would put the now trillion dollar oil industry in jeopardy will not be publicily advertised, and especially not considered for pantentship.

Feel free to write your congressman, and tell them you are tired of paying almost $4 a gallon for gas when free fuel sources are ready and available. Despite the ladder, I remain optimistic that things will turn for better in the future. But reader, it is OUR duty to tell friends, family, and colleagues that it is time to get active, not just on this matter, but many. We are a lazy people and we are paying the price and being taken advatange of. Let's do something about it. God bless~

Bizzare Russian DNA Discoveries!

(A Must Read!) For decades, scientists have believed only 10% of our DNA was actually useful, and the rest was simply "junk DNA". Well, prepare to throw all of your preconcieved notions about DNA out the window! These discoveries, in my opinion, are just as important as the discovery of the atom, if not more. Once again, I hope the department of education will stop standardizing outdated information to our schools, and get their act together! Its been years since the discovery of the Unified Field, and yet, it still is not being taught in schools! Regardless, this article is guaranteed to blow your socks off!

Astrological Bangles and a Rare Scientific Explanation of Astrology

For those who have read the book, "Autobiography of a Yogi", you may recall in chapter 16, when Yogananda's Master, Sri Yukteswar, spoke of the power in wearing an astrological bangle. In the book, Yogananda was given instuctions to wear a very specific bangle made of, I believe iron and lead. Now given Sri Yukteswar had the ability to enter the super-conscious state, (thus allowing him to read the karma of his disciple), he was able to determine the likeness of which planetary forces would be at work. The iron and led were used to counteract these forces, and minimize tremendously, the suffering of Yogananda at that time. A skeptic would have a field day with what has been said here, but dont laugh too soon! Scientifically, it becomes common sense that the planets have a tremendous impact on events, our bodies, and even our psychological states. This is by virtue of the fact, that within each of our bodies contains certain degrees of naturally accuring metals, which we rely on to survive. When certain planets are in specific locations, there is a magnetic attraction, or retraction in our bodies to the corresponding planet. This could have an amplifying, or softening effect depending on the person and circumstances. This would also explain why crime rates increase during a full moon. Science has only begun to understand this phenomena, but Spiritual Masters have known about it for centuries. To give an example, the planet Mars contains a lot of iron. The effects of Mars on a persons body who is lacking in iron, would cause lethargy and possibly depression, for the body is not equipped to handle the magnetic frequency of the push and pull of the planet. There would be a mismatch of frequencies, causing imbalance. Paradoxically, the opposite may be true. It all depends on each individual's circumstances, which include too many factors to mention. Now, Sri Yuteswar has given out only one formula, which is for a general purpose bangle made of copper, silver, and gold. The weight of each metal is very precise, and therefore takes a skilled metal-worker to mold, and form. Luckily there is one such man by the name of Kent White, who presently lives in California. I checked him out to make sure he was the real deal, and he has actually made bangles for well-known disciples of Paramahansa Yoganada, such as Swami Kriyananda. When one is wearing the bangle, they are protected from plantary influnces, that may otherwise cause harm. It is understood that 'karma' is braught back to us via planatary alinments, therefore by wearing an astrological bangle, you are literally 'outwitting the the stars'. :) Since the price of gold is constantly changing, Kent requests you e-mail him for pricing. 2 months ago, the price for a bangle was around $1300. (Mind you there is more then an ounce of gold in each bangle!) I hope to get one sometime in 2008, and when I do, I'll let you know how it works out. Click the link at the top of this article to visit Kent's website and learn more about this priceless blessing from a God-realized Master.

Salt Water to Fuel?

Thats right! While looking for a cure to cancer, inventor John Kansas figured out a way to ignite salt water. Congratulations John! It is also important to mention here, that there are countless other devices capable of harnessing, and producing free energy sources. Nikola Tesla, a famous inventor from the late 1800's, discovered a way to run a car on absoluely nothing! Well, not ABSOLUTELY nothing, he was actually harnessing the energy that prevades the entirety of space, but thats neither here nore there. ;) I sometimes wonder why we were never taught these things in school. :( Its sad that information is filtered and controlled, but then again, THANK YOU INTERNET! :) Now back to the topic at hand. There are literally thousands of inventions that produce power from this invisible, all pervading energy source, but whenever someone trys for a patent, they are turned down on the grounds of, "There is no source of energy to which the device operates". hmmm... Who controls the patent offices? Are those people not also fed up with almost $4 a gal for gas? Or are they the SAME PEOPLE chargin us almost $4 a gal for gas? Well, at any rate, good luck with the patent John. Theres a whole lot of people that want you to succeed, and I'm sure rooting for ya.

What The Bleep Do We Know?

If you haven't seen this movie yet, it is now your DUTY to do so. Some of the greatest scientists of our time come together to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, including such discoveries as the underlying unity of all things, and chemical counterparts to emotions in the brain! Hopefully in the near future, schools will teach this remarkable information students, for it really is life changing and would have a dramatic impact on our society as a whole. I think it is also important to teach our children about the science of unity before the conditioning of seperateness is instilled into the mind. We could systematically link the paradigm of seperateness to every major problem in the world. The time has come for people to be informed, and this documentary is one of the greatest tools to do so. Enjoy!

The Maharishi Effect, Revisited.

As mentioned in the hit movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know?" The Maharishi Effect is a scientifically proven method for invincibility to all nations. Its true! Using group meditation to create order in the collective psyche, countless experiments have been done on crime driven cities and war torn areas that show it really does work! But not only does it work, it works really, really well. And it's fascinating how something like this has gotten no mainstream news coverage. And why hasn't our government been researching ways to harness this power? At present, our military has absolutely no preventive branch of defense, (no, homeland security doesn't count). Maybe those in charge don't want us to be protected!? After all, if we all stopped living in fear, how would they be able to further, and obviously control us? hmmm... Imagine this scenario. China, for whatever reason, decides to invade America. But wait! The Maharishi effect was already established, so the thought to invade wasn't even present in the first place, nor would it ever be! Pretty powerful stuff... Check it out! (Click the link at the top of the archive to view the full article)

The Science of Oneness

(A Must Read!) After the discovery of the unified field, (see: What the Bleep Do We Know), many, many people are still thirsty for more information. Seeing as though there is still a shadow lurking from what once was a fine line between Science and Spirit, this article does a tremendous job at tying the rest of those loose ends, once and for all. David Wilcott is a new age pioneer, on the front lines of underground scientific and spiritual discoveries, and is considered to be the reincarnation of the "sleeping prophet", Edgar Cayce. Here you can expect to find detailed information on zero-point energy, anit-gravity, the design and functiion of the universe and conciousness, where we are heading into the future and why, from micro to macro, astonishing to bizarre! I for one enjoy how David covers both the spiritual and scientific aspects of his research, leaving nothing to the imagination, just wide eyes and a hanging jaw. Check it out!
