The Blessed Buddha once emphasized:
Bhikkhus, there are these five Lower mental chains. What five?

1: The mental chain of belief in 'my same identity' (sakkāya-ditthi)

2: The mental chain of sceptical doubt (vicikicchā)

3: The mental chain of clinging to rule & ritual (sīlabbata-parāmāsa)

4: The mental chain of lust for sensuality (kāma-rāga)
5: The mental chain of anger and ill will (vyāpāda)

There exist these 5 Lower mental chains! The Noble 8-fold Way should be
developed for the direct experience of these five minor mental chains,
for the full understanding and elimination of them, and for their final
overcoming, destruction and full abandonment! This Noble 8-fold Way is
developed for the breaking asunder all of these five minor mental chains!

Explanation of these mental, yet harder-than-steel chains:

1: Belief in "my identity" construing an internal fake ‘stable same entity’.

2: Sceptical doubts about the perfection of Buddha’s self-enlightenment.

3: Blind superstition in rules & rituals projecting into them a false efficacy.

4: Lust for sensing is addiction to all seen, heard, sensed, and cognized.
5: Ill will is all hate & derivatives such as anger, aversion, and irritation.
These Chains bind beings to birth in the 6 lower worlds, where all beings are
dominated by sense-desire!

Mental chains are not visible, yet quite real, & harder than any steel!

Awareness of EBE Contact

David Jacobs      I would estimate that %99.99 of all abductees are unaware of what has happened to them. Perhaps many of them know that they have had strange, out of the ordinary experiences like missing time events, Out of Body Experiences, "astral travel," seen ghosts, or even had deceased relatives visit them at the foot of their beds, but these experiences are chalked up to "normality" oftentimes.      They have an available menu of culturally determined explanations of strange occurrences and they pick and chose among them to help explain what has happened to them. Only a tiny fraction of abductees have systematically explored their experiences with me or with Budd Hopkins and are fully aware of the situation that they are involved in. I have handed out a questionnaire geared toward helping me to gauge how many people might have had abductions. I have given it to about 900 students at Temple University over the past few years. Right now my statistics a

The Mystery of Rh-Negative Blood Genetic Origin Unknown

  Authenticity and legitimacy are based on factual history and the power of sacred history. What Does the absence of Rhesus monkey factor mean? No solid scientific explanation exists as to how or why Rh- blood came about. It is presumed to be the result of a random mutation. Have you ever felt you were weird or different? It may be due to your DNA ... 85% of humans have the monkey gene (RH+) and 15% do not (RH-) and maybe have an alien gene instead. RH- people are characterized by higher IQs, sensitive vision, lower body temperatures, sensitivity to heat and sunlight, psychic power, ability to stop watches and electrical appliances and having extra vertebrae. This film explores the possibility that we were bred as a slave race for labor, since 97% of our genetic code is disabled, with only 3% left for us to survive. RH negative blood group is from ANNUNAKI heritage Of the human blood types, O is the most common. It is a universal blood type. Blood types are further broken
