5 Steps To Enter The Astral World
Astral projection is the act of separating your physical from your astral(dream body) and enjoying the freedom of the astral world.
How do you do it ?
Here is one simple technique you can use to enter the Astral World
1 ) Lay comfortably on your back and close your eyes
2 ) Do not move your body and try not to move your eyes
You will get urges to move, ignore them.
3 ) Wait and concentrate on the breathing.
We are tricking the brain to think that the body is dreaming. If you ignore the urges the brain will think that you are asleep and will activate the safety body paralysis to protect you from moving around and hurting yourself while dreaming.
4 ) When this happens you can finally separate from your paralyzed-physical body
The problem with the separation process is that the 2 bodies are merged and you don't know witch one is the astral. If you try to move your physical body everything will mess up and you might “wake up” in paralyzed.
So how can you know which one is the right one ?
Here is one simple trick :
Don't try to move and just visualize that you have new set of arms or legs. And since you are in the Astral world they will be created for you. Now you know that those arms are part of your astral(dream) body and you can move them withoud being afraid of waking up in the stupid paralysis.
Do the same for the legs.
Its time to take control, now you can do anything you desire.
Here are some things you will want to try when inside the dream :
Try looking in the sky. Interesting colors will appear.
Flying is really really FUN.
Sex feels real. You can do it with anyone(anytwo)(anythree) you imagine.
Speak with your Idols - movie stars, cartoons, even aliens.
Things not to do :
Look in the mirror.
Slit yourself with a knife.
Shoot yourself with a shotgun.

Marijuana Cuts Lung Cancer Tumor Growth In Half, Study Shows
The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies.
They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, Delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), inhibits EGF-induced growth and migration in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancers that over-express EGFR are usually highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy.
THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.
“The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse, if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer,” said Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine.
Acting through cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, endocannabinoids (as well as THC) are thought to play a role in variety of biological functions, including pain and anxiety control, and inflammation. Although a medical derivative of THC, known as Marinol, has been approved for use as an appetite stimulant for cancer patients, and a small number of U.S. states allow use of medical marijuana to treat the same side effect, few studies have shown that THC might have anti-tumor activity, Preet says. The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study in human glioblastoma.
In the present study, the researchers first demonstrated that two different lung cancer cell lines as well as patient lung tumor samples express CB1 and CB2, and that non-toxic doses of THC inhibited growth and spread in the cell lines. “When the cells are pretreated with THC, they have less EGFR stimulated invasion as measured by various in-vitro assays,” Preet said.
Then, for three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression, Preet says.
Although the researchers do not know why THC inhibits tumor growth, they say the substance could be activating molecules that arrest the cell cycle. They speculate that THC may also interfere with angiogenesis and vascularization, which promotes cancer growth.
Preet says much work is needed to clarify the pathway by which THC functions, and cautions that some animal studies have shown that THC can stimulate some cancers. “THC offers some promise, but we have a long way to go before we know what its potential is,” she said.

The color of the Polar Bear
This article is about animal.
A young artist depiction of a polar bear.
When looking at a polar bear, the first thing you may notice is their size or their thick white fur. Most people would find it absurd to say that the fur color would be anything except white. In truth, that fur you are seeing is actually clear! Much like snow, the fur just reflects the sunlight and looks white.
Since each hair on a polar bears body is made out of keratin, it absorbs ultraviolet light from the sun. What the keratin does is provide extra warmth for the skin. On further note, polar bear fur is water repellant, and the hair does not mat when it is wet. This helps the polar bear shake off water and ice, providing it with even more warmth.
Someone had the notion that the polar bear hairs might be much like optical fibers. This notion was wrong, though. In the early 1980's, some smartass scientist figured that polar bear fur was like a hollow tube, which the heat of the sun would hit, and go down the tube, touching the skin. He was like whatever and concluded that a polar bears skin is actually black, which is a color that absorbs heat. He thought he had figured out how the polar bear kept warm in very arctic places, and was sure that their fur was transparent.
That smartass scientist was absolutely correct. On very sunny day, the fur traps infrared heat and keeps the bear at a temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit(when the animal is at rest). The black skin is an adaption that allows for the maximum warming to the skin when exposed to sunlight. So despite the icebergs, harsh winds, and cold snow, freezing is not an issue for polar bears because theyre awesome.
It was also discovered that many polar bears found in various zoos all over the continent were starting to turn a shade of green. Scientists found out that algae was the problem. The thing is, the algae was not on the outside of the polar bear hair, but on the inside!! (insert suspense music) The reason for this supposedly came from pond water that surrounded the bears'.
So apart from having thick transparent fur, the polar bear is also one of the largest bears on Earth. Their weight is as close to 750-1,500 pounds. At a glance these bears may only seem like intimidating yet simple artic inhabitants, but there are defiantly many interesting and amazing facts about them.
