Bill Bonner, "March To Bankruptcy"

"March To Bankruptcy"

by Bill Bonner

Baltimore, Maryland - "It is a confusing time. But this week should clarify things. The basic direction - both the Primary Trend in politics as well as in capital markets - appears to be unchanged.

US stocks have been in a long decline since the beginning of this century - peaking out at 40 ounces of gold to the Dow in 1999… and now down to just 14. Typically (though there are only three examples in the last 110 years - before 1924, during the 1930s, and the ten-year period, 1978-1988) the price of stocks keeps going down until it finally reaches its bottom below five ounces.

Our Law of the Conservation of Value tells us that shares don’t go up forever. They go up…and down. From a peak of 40 ounces of gold (registered only once in the last century) to a trough below two ounces (in 1933…and again in 1980).

Since they go up and down, we see no point in buying them when they are expensive. Buy and hold only works if you buy cheap. If we wait, they’ll be cheaper. And that way we’ll avoid the Big Loss. But what if we’ve got the Primary Trend wrong? In the news there is a lot of talk of ‘disruption’ and ‘change.’ Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, for example, seems to be serious. Bloomberg: "Bessent Warns of ‘Detox Period’ for Economy." "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that the US economy may see some disruption as the Trump administration shifts the basis for growth away from the government and toward the private sector. Asked about whether President Donald Trump would shift his policy moves to prop up the stock market, the Treasury chief said that there is no such Trump “put,” as stock analysts say. “There’s no put,” he said. “The Trump call on the upside is, if we have good policies, then the markets will go up.”

If that were true, it would be a very different financial world than we have known in the last thirty years. Until now, the feds have kept an implicit ‘put’ option in the drawer. In the event of a crashing stock market…or recessionary economy (or even some non-economic emergency)…they would rush out the stimmies, like a quack doctor administering nitroglycerine to a napping patient.

But that was before Trump II. The first time around, he was diddled and dazzled by the power elite. This time, Donald Trump has everything under control; or so many people believe. The Big Man aims to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, they say. And he’s backed by loyal Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. Here’s the latest presidential post: "Democrats will do anything they can to shut down our Government, and we can't let that happen. We have to remain UNITED -- NO DISSENT -- Fight for another day when the timing is right. VERY IMPORTANT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

Yes, the battle lines are clear. Republican vs. Democrat. Good vs. Evil. And now, Republicans stand tall…shoulder to shoulder - no dissent! The trouble with this view is that every one of the abuses and imbecilities perpetrated by the feds over the last 25 years was financed by government spending… and had the active support of both parties. Bush II set the pace, with $6.3 trillion added to the wrong side of the nation’s ledger.

Then came Obama, who burdened the nation with $8.3 trillion more. Donald Trump managed almost as much damage in four years as Obama in eight, with an increase to US debt of $8.2 trillion. And then along came Biden and another $6 trillion.

We don’t see much difference. The march to bankruptcy continues under Republicans as well as Democrats. But maybe now MAGA Republicans have seen the light…and are ready to shoulder their traditional responsibility to restrain the Democrats? Or are the reformers simply running into the unstoppable momentum of the $6.7 trillion spending machine that they created? We should know soon. The feds are running out of money. Several stopgap measures have been proposed. Mr. Trump says he favors the House’s ‘big, beautiful bill.’ But the House’s budget measure shows little sign of any serious cost-cutting. The Hill:

House Republicans on Saturday unveiled a six-month stopgap government funding plan, which seeks cuts to non-defense programs while boosting funding for defense. Increase spending on defense? Reduce it on non-defense? Net savings = not much. There’s some discussion of ‘House committees seeking spending cuts;’ they’re unlikely to find any. The machine is meant to spend, not to save. But we’ll see. Stay tuned."

"The OFR Financial Stress Index (OFR FSI) is a daily market-based snapshot of stress in global financial markets. It is constructed from 33 financial market variables, such as yield spreads, valuation measures, and interest rates. The OFR FSI is positive when stress levels are above average, and negative when stress levels are below average. The OFR FSI incorporates five categories of indicators: credit, equity valuation, funding, safe assets and volatility. The FSI shows stress contributions by three regions: United States, other advanced economies, and emerging markets."

Jim Kunstler, "The Glow of the Gaslight"

FBI Director Kash Patel

"The Glow of the Gaslight"

by Jim Kunstler

"There’s a chance to restore democracy 

from the bureaucracy, but just a chance." 

- Elon Musk

"CBS 60-Minutes’ Gaslighter-in-Chief Scott Pelley was at it again Sunday night trying to put over the story that Donald Trump had unfairly cashiered a broad swathe of federal agency Inspectors General - whose job it is to investigate crime, mischief, and administrative malfeasance. In the spotlight sat one Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel to the independent Office of Special Counsel, who just resigned after a court battle over his firing weeks ago.

Do you have any idea what a laugh riot that is? Dellinger’s job was to protect whistleblowers and enforce the Hatch Act (against public employees engaging in partisan political activities). Would you say he did a great job protecting FBI whistleblowers who testified before Congress last year - say, FBI agents Marcus Allen, Garret O’Boyle, and Steve Friend? They were suspended without pay, not allowed to seek other employment, lost homes, were financially wrecked, and hung out to dry by then-FBI boss Christopher Wray. Was Hampton Dellinger heard to make a peep about that? (Nope.) So much for protecting whistleblowers.

You can state categorically that thousands of federal employees have been engaged in what they call “the Resistance” since the first Trump administration. They openly advertise themselves as the Resistance. The Resistance is simply and purely Democratic Party activism. How is that not a violation of the Hatch Act? Hampton Dellinger did not notice any of it. Maybe that’s why he got fired, ya think?

About those many Inspectors General fired from the various agencies...considering what is now known about the fantastic racketeering operations run during the Biden years - e.g., the USAID money laundry, the gazillion dollars flushed through the EPA to grifters such as Stacey Abrams under the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate change provisions, the vast royalties paid to NIH employees by Pharma companies for aiding in their product development - do you think the Inspectors General have done a bang-up job of protecting the US public against waste, fraud, and crime? (Maybe not so much, ya think.)

Of all the IGs, Michael Horowitz of the DOJ has been in place since 2012 and mysteriously remains on the job. He was on-the-scene through the entirety of RussiaGate, including the Crossfire Hurricane flimflam, the immense mischief perpetrated in the FISA Court, the whole run of the deceitful Mueller Special Counsel op, the 2020 election fraud, the FBI-sponsored J-6 riot (and the DNC / RNC pipe bomb caper), the Hunter Biden laptop shenanigans (and Biden Family bribery scheme), the feckless Durham investigation (on the origin of RussiaGate), and the matrix of lawfare cases launched by Merrick Garland against Mr. Trump in the 2024 election year. Seems like Mr. Horowitz missed a few things. How would you rate his Inspector General-ship? And why is he still in that office?

By now, you might have grokked that there is another side to the story presented by Scott Pelley, whose mission is to get the deranged half of the American public to go boo-hoo over ersatz threats to Our Democracy. Which might lead you to ask: how and why, exactly, is CBS so deeply invested in protecting the Administrative State (let’s call it) from allegations of corruption? Answer: CBS is the servant of the US Intel Community and its blob tentacles. They are captured. They do as they are told for their masters.

As it happens, Mr. Trump launched a $20-billion lawsuit against CBS last October for fiddling with the interview that candidate Kamala Harris did on 60-Minutes in such a way that it presented a false record of her answers in order to boost her floundering election campaign. So, let’s suppose we have been seeing CBS play a game of hardball against Mr. Trump, consistently painting the once-again president as a villain in case presiding U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk in the Northern District of Texas happens to have nothing better to do on Sunday evenings than watch 60-Minutes, out of sheer habit, like so many Americans.

Notice that you haven’t heard a whole lot for two weeks from AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. They have had their hands full attempting to clean up big messes in the Southern District of NY’s DOJ office and its companion, the Manhattan FBI office, where many lawyers and agents have been fired in recent days. Among other things, the FBI office in New York supposedly sat on reams of evidence in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Much flappery has been made over that. But, considering Mr. Epstein’s service to the Intel blob, and its political servants especially, is it really plausible that any truly significant evidence remains?

The FBI raided Epstein”s Manhattan townhouse in July, 2019. They found CDs and hard drives galore and lots of photos of underage girls. None of the videos ever managed to leak out. Do you find that suspicious, considering how sensationally incriminating they would have been? Would you guess that is because they were destroyed? Personally, I wouldn’t expect much now.

But I do expect Ms. Bondi and Mr. Patel to develop a great many cases out of the aforesaid far-ranging corruption - overlooked by all those Inspectors General - that occurred throughout government at least since 2016, and probably involving a whole lot of well-know names, including Presidents Obama and Biden. It takes a lot of time and care to construct cases worth bringing to grand juries. Also consider that Dan Bongino will not take up his duties as FBI Deputy Director until March 15. As it happens, Mr. Bongino wrote several books about RussiaGate and its spin-offs. He will have a pretty good idea of exactly where to look and who to talk to, and he will be in-charge of making that happen. Be patient."

Gnomusy (David Caballero), "Footprints On The Sea"

"A Look to the Heavens"

“Why is the sky near Antares and Rho Ophiuchi so colorful? The colors result from a mixture of objects and processes. Fine dust illuminated from the front by starlight produces blue reflection nebulae. Gaseous clouds whose atoms are excited by ultraviolet starlight produce reddish emission nebulae. Backlit dust clouds block starlight and so appear dark.

Antares, a red supergiant and one of the brighter stars in the night sky, lights up the yellow-red clouds on the lower center. Rho Ophiuchi lies at the center of the blue nebula near the top. The distant globular cluster M4 is visible just to the right of Antares, and to the lower left of the red cloud engulfing Sigma Scorpii. These star clouds are even more colorful than humans can see, emitting light across the electromagnetic spectrum.”

"He Cannot Help..."

"A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet for sale, who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing, cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity."

- Erich Fromm

"First Of All..."

"First of all, although men have a common destiny, each individual also has to work out his own personal salvation for himself in fear and trembling. We can help one another to find the meaning of life no doubt. But in the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence. You cannot tell me who I am and I cannot tell you who you are. If you do not know your own identity, who is going to identify you?"

"The War Against Will"

"The War Against Will"

by Paul Rosenberg

"The modern world will allow you to join any of a thousand collectives, but it will punish you for standing on your own, as a self-willed entity. People who commit this crime understand that they are outlaws in the present world. And if at first they don’t understand that, the world makes sure they know.

The world as it is, then, is the enemy of will. This is nothing new, of course, governments have been at war against will since they began: How else can you get people to blindly obey you, to hand over half their income, and to thank you for it? People who possess a full and active will must be convinced to do things, and governments couldn’t function if they had to do that.

The present world is built around the restraint of will, and not just on the government level. Advertising, for example, is more or less devoted to implanting subconscious desires and subverting the will with them. In dysfunctional families, manipulating one another – whether by guilt, ridicule, being left out of Papa’s will or whatever – is the currency of the realm.

And so obedience, consumption and acquiescence have become cardinal virtues, and the avoidance of immediate pain the prime directive. As we might paraphrase an old apostle, this world’s God is the belly.

The Willful, For Whom Heaven And Earth Were Created: All human creativity functions on individual will. Everyone interested in creativity knows this, and here are just a couple of passages to make the point:

"Everything that is really great and inspiring is 

created by the individual who can labor in freedom."

- Albert Einstein

"This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the

 individual human is the most valuable thing in the world."

- John Steinbeck

It is the active will of individuals that has created everything good in this world. Really, life comes down to a choice between creativity and entropy:

• The world (the realm of officialdom, acquiescence and so on) is an incarnation of entropy, winding down and collapsing once the fuel left to it by creative men and women of the past is burned out.

• The creatives, who are willing to take blows in defense of their willfulness, and who bless the world in myriad ways

The willful, then, are creativity incarnate; the universe is and ought to be dedicated to beings of their type. It should also be populated by beings of their type, and I think someday shall be.

This is not to say that entropic people can’t make their way out of entropy and join the creatives; in fact they can, and do, on a daily basis. Still, it is a gulf that must be crossed, and the only way across is to act on one’s own will, alone, and for purely self-generated reasons. That is the price.

The Automated War On Will: The great threat of the modern world is a system I call Descartes’ Demon, the Big Data/AI personalized manipulation system that is already in daily use. I held back talking about this for years, seeing that it was too much for people to bear, but the beast has progressed so far that I can’t see holding back any further.

The Matrix, as it turns out, was all too true, and its world is now the world of Facebook, Twitter and especially Google. The real-life version of The Matrix is functional, right now. (See here for explanation, or here for illustration.) What personalized manipulation is really all about is the subversion of individual will. And if you don’t think it’s happening, pull up YouTube on your smart phone, then ask your friend to pull it up on his or hers: You’re already receiving personalized pages. The world is deeply committed to passing this off as trivial and ridiculing those that don’t. But it isn’t trivial; it’s a present and actual war against free will.

We Are Inherently Creative: Humans are inherently creative beings. We cannot create matter out of nothing, but we can mold it to an infinite number and variety of uses. We are the fountains of new and beneficial action in the universe. And we ought to function that way.

I’ll leave you with a few words from Albert Schweitzer: "Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it… It is only an ethical movement which can rescue us from the slough of barbarism, and the ethical comes into existence only in individuals." This is what we need… and we need it now."

"They Live"

"There Are Simply No Answers..."

“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.”

Why Does Hardly Anyone Seem To Realize That We Are Literally On The Brink Of War With Iran? World War 3 Is Here"

"Why Does Hardly Anyone Seem To Realize That We 

Are Literally On The Brink Of War With Iran? World War 3 Is Here"

by Michael Snyder

"What do think Iran is going to do once we start bombing their nuclear facilities? They know that it is coming, and they have been preparing to respond. When Iranian missiles are raining down on Israeli targets and U.S. military bases throughout the Middle East, there will be no turning back. We will officially be at war with Iran. Needless to say, a war with Iran would be far different from our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Iranians have the 8th largest military on the entire planet, and they are armed to the teeth with highly advanced missiles. It would take a “shock and awe” campaign that is unlike anything we have ever seen before to subdue Iran, and full-blown regime change would probably require an invasion.

Most people simply do not realize how close we are to an apocalyptic scenario in the Middle East. On Friday, President Trump revealed that he has issued a very chilling ultimatum to the Iranians…President Donald Trump on Friday revealed that he has sent a letter to Iran warning that it can either “make a deal” with Washington, D.C., on its nuclear program or face the U.S. “militarily.” “I said, I hope you’re going to negotiate, because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran,” Trump told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria,” in reference to a letter he sent to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal,” he said. “I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran.”

Subsequently, President Trump informed reporters that were gathered in the Oval Office that “something’s going to happen” with Iran “very, very soon”…"US President Donald Trump said on Friday that something related to Iran is “going to happen very soon”. “We have a situation with Iran that something’s going to happen very soon, very, very soon. You’ll be talking about that pretty soon, I guess,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office. “And hopefully we can have a peace deal,” he added. “You know, I’m not speaking out of strength or weakness. I’m just saying I’d rather see a peace deal than the other [option], but the other will solve the problem.”

I know that President Trump would prefer to make a peace deal with the Iranians. But the Iranians are already ruling out any sort of a deal…"The letter appeared to have been addressed to Iran’s supreme leader, the 85-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has recently opposed negotiations with the US so long as economic sanctions are in force. The Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, responded by saying: “We will not enter any direct negotiations with the US so long as they continue their maximum pressure policy and their threats.”

And there are rumors on social media that the Iranians are threatening to destroy all U.S. bases in the region if they get attacked…"Iran has issued a final warning to the US and Israel through Saudi Arabia. An attack on Iran is tantamount to the destruction of all US bases in the region and the destruction of all Israeli nuclear facilities."

This is a crisis that should have been dealt with during the Biden administration. At this point, the Iranian nuclear program has advanced to a very alarming stage…"Rafael Grossi, the International Atomic Energy Agency director, told the IAEA board this week that Iran’s stockpile of uranium enriched to 60% had reached 275kg. He said: “Iran is the only country that enriches uranium to this level without having nuclear weapons.”

That quote stunned me. Nobody can deny what the Iranians are attempting to do. If they stay on the path that they are on, it won’t be too long before they are able to produce multiple nuclear weapons…"The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has repeatedly warned in recent months that Iran is pushing forward in its development of near-nuclear-grade uranium and now possesses enough uranium, if further enriched, to develop five nuclear weapons."

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have both repeatedly stated that Iran will never be allowed to produce a nuclear weapon.And since Iran is not willing to make a deal with Trump, it is only a matter of time before the bombing of Iran begins. Needless to say, all hell will break loose once that happens.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is no longer providing intelligence to Ukraine, and President Trump has suspended all shipments of military aid in an attempt to force the Ukrainians to the negotiating table. When he was asked about this during an interview that aired on Sunday, he suggested that Ukraine “may not survive anyway”…"President Trump suggested that Ukraine might not be able to survive against Russia even if the US forged ahead with full-blown support for its fight. Trump’s remarks came while defending his decision to draw down support to Ukraine in the face of Polish President Andrzej Duda’s and others’ concerns that Europe lacks the might to prop up Kyiv without the US. “Well, it may not survive anyway,” Trump told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” in an interview that aired Sunday."

The Russians already had the upper hand, and now their troops are surging forward. On Friday, it was being reported that three-quarters of the Ukrainian force in Kursk is “almost entirely surrounded”…"The fuse has been burning slowly, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s risky August invasion of Russia’s Kursk region is about to blow up in his face in spectacular fashion - as thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are suddenly in imminent peril of being encircled, according to open source intelligence analysts. The crisis comes as Zelensky is under increasing US pressure to reach a negotiated end to the war - and a loss of captured Russian territory promises to make his already-deteriorated bargaining position even weaker.

According to DeepStateMAP.live, an interactive map of the war run by Ukrainian military bloggers, their country’s forces in Kursk are nearly cleaved into two, with roughly three-quarters of Ukraine’s forces in Russia almost entirely surrounded on Friday. Their last connection between the two forces was a kilometer long and under 500 meters wide at its thinnest section."

It isn’t just Ukrainian soldiers that are in danger of being cut off in Kursk. There are apparently lots of western mercenaries there too, and at this moment they are being pounded into oblivion. On Sunday, the Russians captured several more settlements… Russia’s defense ministry on Sunday said troops took back the settlements of Malaya Loknya, Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and Kositsa from Ukrainian forces. “The lid of the smoking cauldron is practically closed,” Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president who is now the deputy chairman of the country’s Security Council, said on Sunday of Russian advances in Kursk. “The offensive continues. Carry on!”

Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers warn Kyiv’s hold on the region is more tenuous than ever, with Russian troops backed by North Korean forces launching incessant attacks. Once the Russians have cleared out Kursk, they may use it as a launching pad to initiate an offensive in the direction of Kyiv. So we will want to watch this area of the front very closely.

The Ukrainians have been caught off guard by how aggressive the Russians have been in recent days. In one operation, Russian special forces actually “walked inside a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian units from the rear”…"Russian special forces walked inside a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian units from the rear in the Kursk region, Ukraine’s military and Russian war bloggers reported, as Moscow claimed fresh gains in its push to recapture parts of the border province that Kyiv seized in a shock offensive."

Many of our European allies are very frustrated with President Trump’s efforts to force Ukraine to the negotiating table because those efforts are hurting the Ukrainians on the battlefield. But the truth is that President Trump is also trying to force Russia to the negotiating table…

I do not believe that threatening Russia is the correct approach. In fact, I believe that if President Trump continues to threaten Russia it will backfire severely.

We have entered such a dangerous chapter of human history. As Steve Bannon has astutely observed, we are “already deep into the kinetic part of the third World War”… Bannon went on to explain that the casualties amassed in the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts have already exceeded the total deaths in the first phase of World War II, including the invasion of Poland, the fall of France and the Blitz over England. “The world’s on the brink. We’re already deep into the kinetic part of the third World War,” Bannon asserted.

I really wish that more people understood this. Bannon says that some portions of Ukraine “look like Dresden in 1945”, and he is 100 percent correct about that… “Parts of Ukraine look like Dresden in 1945. You’re in a kinetic war right now that’s every bit as dangerous and every bit as brutal, if not more brutal, than the opening phase of World War 2,” he added. Hundreds of thousands of Russians are already dead. More than a million Ukrainians are already dead.

In the Middle East, we have already seen a tremendous amount of death and destruction, and now a final showdown with Iran is looming. What will it take for people to finally wake up? World War 3 is here, and once the bombing of Iran begins that will ramp things up to an entirely new level."

“Neuroscience Says Listening to This Song

Reduces Anxiety by Up to 65 Percent”

By Melanie Curtin

“Everyone knows they need to manage their stress. When things get difficult at work, school, or in your personal life, you can use as many tips, tricks, and techniques as you can get to calm your nerves. So here’s a science-backed one: make a playlist of the 10 songs found to be the most relaxing on earth. Sound therapies have long been popular as a way of relaxing and restoring one’s health. For centuries, indigenous cultures have used music to enhance well-being and improve health conditions.

Now, neuroscientists out of the UK have specified which tunes give you the most bang for your musical buck. The study was conducted on participants who attempted to solve difficult puzzles as quickly as possible while connected to sensors. The puzzles induced a certain level of stress, and participants listened to different songs while researchers measured brain activity as well as physiological states that included heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing.

According to Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson of Mindlab International, which conducted the research, the top song produced a greater state of relaxation than any other music tested to date. In fact, listening to that one song- “Weightless”- resulted in a striking 65 percent reduction in participants’ overall anxiety, and a 35 percent reduction in their usual physiological resting rates. That is remarkable.

Equally remarkable is the fact the song was actually constructed to do so. The group that created “Weightless”, Marconi Union, did so in collaboration with sound therapists. Its carefully arranged harmonies, rhythms, and bass lines help slow a listener’s heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

When it comes to lowering anxiety, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Stress either exacerbates or increases the risk of health issues like heart disease, obesity, depression, gastrointestinal problems, asthma, and more. More troubling still, a recent paper out of Harvard and Stanford found health issues from job stress alone cause more deaths than diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or influenza.

In this age of constant bombardment, the science is clear: if you want your mind and body to last, you’ve got to prioritize giving them a rest. Music is an easy way to take some of the pressure off of all the pings, dings, apps, tags, texts, emails, appointments, meetings, and deadlines that can easily spike your stress level and leave you feeling drained and anxious.

Of the top track, Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson said, “‘Weightless’ was so effective, many women became drowsy and I would advise against driving while listening to the song because it could be dangerous.” So don’t drive while listening to these, but do take advantage of them:

"EMDR Therapeutic Technology: 99% Of This Audio 

Bypasses Your Ears & Goes Directly To Your Brain"

"After taking a little over 10 years to compose, along with tireless research and accuracy this finely tuned 'work of art' (as it has been referred to) is now available to people to hear worldwide. What you are about to hear is scientifically proven to be beneficial to the brain.

How does 40Hz work? 40Hz is proven to be particularly beneficial to the brain. According to studies, our brain cells communicate at a frequency of 40Hz. Research has found this frequency to demonstrate "promising" results in terms of increasing cognition, clarity and alertness, combatting Fibromyalgia pain, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Depression, Anxiety and even increasing blood flow throughout the body. In short - it's what the entire scientific world of experts are desperately falling over one another to find out more about and add to the already overwhelming evidence that this audio track really heals its listeners.

How does EMDR work? The individual is processing the trauma with both hemispheres of the brain stimulated. The chosen positive belief is then installed, via bilateral movement, to replace the negative one. Each session normally lasts for about one hour. It is believed that EMDR works because the “bilateral stimulation” by-passes the area of the brain that has become stuck due to the trauma and is preventing the left side of the brain from self-soothing the right side of the brain. It is rare but sometimes a headache may occur as a result of EMDR, this is because your right and left brain hemispheres aren't used to 'talking' to one another to defeat trauma, this is essentially the brain's way of healing itself and the headache will be temporary. 

This unique music contains ultra potent 40 hertz bilateral binaural EMDR beats in the GAMMA wave range that generate deep penetrative healing. This track has been created using our Quantum Miracle QT4 Hertz Formula Frequency. This makes this audio very powerful and extremely effective in aiding healing or meditation, the secret is the blend of these hertz when combined with our stunning harmonious soundtrack which lends itself beautifully to execute the perfect healing music. EMDR uses rapid eye movement to access both sides of the brain to process thoughts, however bilateral sound uses sound to access both sides of the brain to process thought. The ultimate result is the same. The sole reason we use 'EMDR' in our titles is to help people who are reaching out to find 'EMDR' videos using the eyes (which are scarcely available). This audio acts as a very powerful alternative. Please see this article for more information: https://emdrhealing.com/visual-audio-... 

A general guideline is to listen for at least 15 to 30 minutes. For deeper effects, such as enhanced sleep or deeper meditation, listening for an hour or more can be beneficial. It's essential to listen to your body and mind's responses and adjust accordingly. Longer sessions can provide more profound benefits, but even short periods can offer significant relaxation and healing effects. However, despite studies being on-going we are relying on feedback from YOU, our listeners on this channel, to collaborate sufficient data, so please leave your feedback in the comment section below. 

Listen to this track as much or as little as you feel comfortable, either sitting or lying in a settled position. We always recommend using headphones for optimal results; however, this isn't always essential. Please note: ALWAYS consult your GP first before trying to cure any medical problems (including depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, phobias or any other cognitive - or physically related illnesses) with an alternative."

"If you are reading this, we want to tell you something – please don’t be troubled. You are here for a reason and you exist for a reason. The very fact that you exist means there must have been a reason you were created. Therefore, you are the very definition of reason. Have love in your heart, become addicted to hope, patient with your own minds healing, slow to make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions, yet most importantly remember this: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
