With this in mind, NEXUS seeks to provide ‘hard-to-get’ information so as to assist people through these changes. NEXUS is not linked to any religious, philosophical or political ideology or organisation. PERMISSION-TO-REPRODUCE POLICY While reproduction and dissemination of the infor- mation in NEXUS is actively encouraged, anyone caught making a buck out of it, without our express permission, will be in trouble when we catch them! ell, 2007 is almost over and, for some, 2008 is well under way. I still have to pinch myself every now and then to check that I am not dreaming all this. You see, back in the 1970s when I was an impressionable teenager surrounded by meditating, healthy, peaceful visualisers of the future, some of us anticipated global cataclysm to strike in a variety of forms. On the environmental front, we were told to expect a sudden catastrophic ice age as a result of mankind's impact on the climate; on the political front, we were told to expect a nuclear holocaust between America and Russia; on the cosmic front, we were told to expect global annihilation as a result of the planets being aligned on one side of the Sun (aka "the Jupiter effect"); and on the consciousness front, we were told to expect the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. In other words, I expected to be either dead or living in Paradise by now. "So what's changed?" I hear you ask. Russia and the West are growling at each other, each with vastly improved secret weaponry. We are now told to look forward to an age of global warming—not an ice age—as a result of human-induced climate change. Many are focusing on a cataclysmic change date of 2011 or 2012, when it's expected that Jesus/Satan/ETs/Illuminati, or lots of people meditating and praying, will step in and sort things out, while others wonder whether the date has been miscalculated and is very nearly upon us. Meanwhile, the steady march towards globalisation—in governance, currency and economic interdependence—continues unabated. People keep asking me, "What can we do to fight all this?" I find myself saying again and again that we cannot fight this. To fight it is to become that which we are seeking to move away from. I find myself saying, "Build the new; don't fight the old". After 30 years of searching for answers, I find myself actually believing in the science of conscious visualisation/prayer/imagination and its ability to effect change. So if you want a better world, visualise it and imagine how you would feel in it. I hope that one day, science will "discover" the mechanics of how thoughts and feelings control our perception of reality. We have some great articles (again) to whet your information appetite. Project Censored has released its list of top 25 censored stories for the last 18 months, and it's an eye-opener. Note the underreported item about the President of Iran. We were told by the war spruikers that he said "Israel should be wiped off the map", but he said no such thing. On the health front, we have three articles. The first is a timely look at how informed health consumers are challenging the healthcare system status quo by exchanging information on what remedies work best for them; while the second emphasises the importance of dietary iodine in maintaining health and preventing/treating various illnesses including cancer. Australians and New Zealanders particularly should take note, as arguably we have the most iodine-deficient soils on the planet. To find out more, don't contact us; go to http://www. iodinesource.com, and also check out the article references. The third health-related article is the concluding part of the interview with Alfons Ven, whom I greatly respect and admire for his humility, courage and uncanny healing abilities. The first part of the article on whether Hitler died in the Berlin bunker as per the history books resulted in some very interesting letters, a couple of which are reproduced in our Letters section. The second part is full of intrigue about the forensic dental evidence. On the science front, the discussion on time lines is long overdue in NEXUS, in my opinion. Most people work on the assumption that there is only one time line—a linear mental construct with the present in the middle, the past going back to the left and the future going forward to the right. I believe there is an infinite number of time lines, and I finally found a writer, David Barclay, who can voice these same ideas coherently. The article on solving the cosmological-constant problem is from mechanical engineer Ron Pearson, who proposes solutions to inaccuracies in Big Bang and relativity theories. On a final note, I'm happy to report that the recent NEXUS Conference in southeast Queensland went really well. It was an experiment of sorts in trying out a new venue in a laid-back location and seeing how opening up the event to relevant exhibitors would work. We ended up with the largest attendance of any NEXUS Conference, and everyone had a great time, with many regulars saying it was "the best yet"!
