Anthony Kosinec explains how our five senses block us from perceiving the true, eternal reality, and how we can use what Kabbalists have discovered, to break through our limitations, and achieve the complete, eternal perception of reality. http://www.kabbalah.info

*

Anthony Kosinec introduces “what Kabbalah is” and “what Kabbalah isn’t” in this overview of some of its basic concepts, and the difference between authentic Kabbalah and how Kabbalah is popularly viewed. He speaks from the perspective of “practical Kabbalah,” as taught today by Rav Michael Laitman, PhD. Essentially, this is the process of how to reveal Kabbalah’s hidden aspect: the Upper Worlds—what is hidden behind our five senses. Kosinec explains that understanding the Kabbalistic “language of branches” is the key to starting a practical application of Kabbalah. He also puts across that a misunderstanding of this language is the reason Kabbalah has been misinterpreted in myriad ways—as religion, mysticism, magic, and many others—and that the key to start applying Kabbalah practically is to first understand that its language only describes the Upper Worlds: higher levels of consciousness completely removed from everything we receive through our five senses. From this basis, one can begin learning what one can do in order to attain these higher levels of consciousness. http://www.kabbalah.info

Another Australian first for Jimmy Barnes

Liberation Music today announced that they will partner with New Found Frequency to launch Jimmy Barnes new album using USB technology: Alive Drive - a cutting edge, new technology delivering exclusive audio, video and image content, along with live updates to fans across the country via the web; all through a branded, USB wristband.

Jimmy Barnes is the first Australian solo artist to use the new format for the much anticipated Tour Edition of the ‘Out In The Blue’ album which also features a full blown concert recorded live at the legendary Playroom on the Gold Coast in 1984.

At the forefront of this technology is Melbourne-based music company New Found Frequency, who are bringing the patented USB wristband and software, otherwise known as Alive Drive, to the technologically savvy Australian marketplace. Alive Drive opens a world of opportunities to both recording artists and record labels with the need for new and clever merchandise to keep fans engaged.

Jimmy Barnes and Liberation were keen to embrace this new format for the re-package of the #1 platinum album ‘Out In The Blue’ album as it allows them to converge Jimmy’s recorded music and bonus content with the live concert experience on one very robust and portable device.

Jimmy commented, “When Liberation contacted me about utilising the new format, I thought the idea was perfect. It allows me to include the new album plus unique and archive audio and video content and then the live concert to round it off…I’m glad we have done it.”

Warren Costello, Managing Director of Liberation Music adds, “This new album project has been incredibly successful and we are very grateful that Jimmy has such a passion for music and a really solid understanding of new technology that allows us to present it to his audience on the newest format available”.

The ‘Out In The Blue’ USB Wristband can be purchased from Jimmy Barnes shows or at select retail outlets.

More about Alive Drive:

Different from a traditional USB device, Alive Drive is a flexi-wristband fully customizable by the client – cover it in logos, images, you name it; it can even become a key ring, necklace pendant or any other mouldable silicon item. Rubber aside, it’s the actual technology that makes this USB drive something out of the ordinary. Plug it into your PC and you’ll load into a world created especially for the company or artist – in this case Jimmy Barnes. Once plugged into an online computer – fresh, exclusive content and up-to-the-minute news are delivered directly to the local drive enabling fans to be updated with the very latest developments. For the fans, they’re ‘in the know’ regarding their favourite groups plus they’ll receive exclusive content only available via Alive Drive. And for the artist/company, this personal connection builds fan loyalty.

As technology evolves, artists and brands are looking for creative ways to promote themselves while connecting with their fans and adding additional revenue streams. With advances in digital media storage, file transfer bandwidths and online streaming, USB wristbands have become extremely popular merchandise items in North America and Europe, alongside the traditional array of CDs, t-shirts and posters. Already artists such as Matchbox Twenty, Ringo Starr and George Michael are utilising the technology. Now it’s Australia’s turn to follow suit.

At the same time that Jimmy embraces new technology for the promotion of his recorded material, he commences his Out In The Blue National Theatre Tour supported by daughter Mahalia Barnes who has also just released her debut album ‘Mahalia Barnes + The Soul Mates Volume 1’ through the Liberation Music label. *****NEW SHOWS ANNOUNCED FOR MELBOURNE & SYDNEY.

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

P.O.D., ALTER BRIDGE

BEHIND CRIMSON EYES AND REDLINE

“People never lose their desire for aggressive music. And we’re happy to keep giving it to them.”

– David Draiman, Disturbed

Music fans rejoice – The Frontier Touring Company is thrilled to announce the return of Disturbed to Australia and New Zealand in September. Support for this tour will come from P.O.D. (excluding Perth and Adelaide), Alter Bridge, Behind Crimson Eyes (AUS only) and redline (NZ only).

Over their 12 year lifespan in the music industry Disturbed have reached the highs most bands only dream of. Selling in excess of ten million albums worldwide, Disturbed’s renaissance has truly begun following the release of their fourth album Indestructible (out now through Warner Music).

Front man, David Draiman announced of Indestructible: “I don’t want to sound arrogant but I think we’ve made the kind of record the industry needs right now.” And the fans have agreed. Defying current trends, the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard, ARIA and RIANZ charts. Indestructible is the group’s darkest and angriest output to date; a result of experimentation in the studio and the band taking control of production duties.

Renowned for their fierce live performances, Disturbed are sure to set the stage alight when they hit major cities across Australia and New Zealand this August / September.

P.O.D. will return to Australia and New Zealand in support of their latest release When Angels & Serpents Dance. With an impressive seven studio albums and over seven million album sales under their belt, not to mention hits like ‘Youth of the Nation’, ‘Alive’ and ‘Addicted’, P.O.D. (aka Payable On Death) will stun you with their sheer ferocity this September!

Alter Bridge rose from the ashes of the multiplatinum selling Creed when they disbanded in 2004. They found success following the release of debut album One Day Remains with ‘Metalingus’ chosen as the theme song for the Rated R Superstar, Edge. Release of their sophomore record Blackbird is a heavier affair and has drawn the band further success debuting at #4 on the Billboard Rock Album chart. Get ready to rock with Alter Bridge this year!

Australian fans will be treated to stylings of Behind Crimson Eyes. Building a reputation through solid touring around the country, Behind Crimson Eyes quickly established themselves as one of Australia’s premier metal acts. Having supported the likes of Iron Maiden, Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold, you can be sure Behind Crimson Eyes will match it with the world’s best this year.

redline will kick off proceedings in New Zealand. Having previously opened for Disturbed, these boys will feel at home on the arena stages. The release of their debut record Trapped Inside saw redline establish themselves as one of New Zealand’s most progressive rock bands. Having supported Evanescence, The Bleeders and performing at the inaugural Metal Day Out Festival, redline will bring it this year.

Tickets will sell out fast – ensure you secure yours when they go on sale this Thursday 10 July.

Frontier Members pre-sale tickets will be available via frontiertouring.com from Tuesday 8 July.

Letter to Media Watch 2007

Hello,

I am writing to you today to comment upon the 24/7/07 edition of the 7.30 Report in which they covered the utilisation of the internet by U.S politicians in the lead up to the elections of 2008.

My criticism stems from the fact that the report completely neglected to mention Republican congressman Ron Paul of Texas who has had more success than any of the candidates at creating a grassroots campaign using Youtube and as of 6/7/07 had the second highest youtube views of any other candidate on either side of the coin.

On the 11/07/07 the Washington Post reported that “Mr. Paul has more campaign cash available than former Republican front-runner Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Federal Election Commission records show, and the antiwar conservative has become an Internet sensation”.

My major concern is that the ABC does not seem to do anymore than find the middle ground between the fuax left and right paradigm created for us by our leaders. If the ABC are only allowed to report a middle ground between the illusion served up to us by the mainstream media then we are severely limited in acquiring knowledge that is off of the grid. The illusion of objective reporting is becoming harder and harder to conceal as the veil is lifted.

I thought ABC reporters were trained to look beyond what the government and private spin merchants throw at them and do some real research.

The story was supposed to be about who is getting the “ratings”, not how the media darlings are doing in the real world of youtube support.

The excuse of Dr Paul not being well known enough in the media to warrant a mention in this story is irrelevant is flys in the face of the whole angle of this story which was to show how it is a successful tool for running politicians. There has been no greater success than Ron Paul a relative unknown before the election and someone who is still (as proven in this letter) finding it difficult to be embraced by the mainstream media.

Here are some real figures for you

Paul in 2nd Place
List of all presidential candidates and their number of YouTube channel views as of 9:12 am ET on July 6, 2007:

1. Obama - 5,186,833

2. Paul - 2,092,246

3. Clinton - 733,453

4. Romney - 669,455

5. Edwards - 572,384

6. Brownback - 468,432

7. McCain - 444,189

8. Kucinich - 420,830

9. Tancredo - 409,393

10. Dodd - 397,281

11. Hunter - 347,017

12. Biden - 251,058

13. Gilmore - 229,020

14. Huckabee - 164,076

15. Giuliani - 105,503

16. Gravel - 70,236

17. Richardson - 61,193

The report whilst professing to conclude that Youtube and the Internet was a way for smaller nominees to get their message heard, little was made of any of their message that were breaking through (though i know that this was not the point of the report), in fact the Democratic party line was towed. A short clip was played of Hillary Clinton claiming that all Republican candidates are in line with Mr Bush in regards to Iraq, and only her and her Democratic counterparts oppose it, an utter falsity, widley refuted amongst avid Youtube subscribers that are weighing into the debate in this forum.

The Major talking point of the last republican debate was Rudy Guiliani interjecting when Dr Paul spoke of the subsequent ‘blowback’ following the occupation of a country. The US media spoke about the fact that Dr Paul was out of lockstep with the partyline for days. This is one of the many reasons his campaign is garnering so much interest on the net as people research him for themselves.

So my question here is why is the ABC repeating Hillary’s invalid publicly refuted fallices, other then to question the truth in such remarks, if they themselves are not just parroting the state line?

Those who really know what is happening in this race and the issues that are concerning the people on the ground know that the war is only one very small part of it. The eradication of the federal reserve banking system and IRS are the two major policy points that are being suppressed by the major media outlets. Policies that Paul and democratic nominee Mike Gravel stand for.

The removal of the police state and the championing of individual rights are what these men advocate most and this is what the ABC are complicit in helping to cover up. It is time that the ABC stopped hiding behind the false veil of politically objective reporting and look past the labels to examine the issues and report on them in factually accurate manner ie/ call a spade, a spade not a shovel.

Why were only the media darlings amongst the contenders given any screen time?

John McCain was given screen time and he has even less money in the bank that Ron Paul. A direct consequence of the You Tube phenomenom.

In fact “RonPaul2008.com drew a 27 percent share of visitors to Republican candidate sites in May. (The highest of all contenders) MittRomney.com attracted almost 21 percent of visits last month, while JohnMccain.com brought in almost 13 percent.”

Please bring the 7.30 Report to task on this sloppy journalism. They should be doing their own research instead of broadcasting what appeared at times to be a syndicated report.

Regards,

Kieran Wicks
