HomeBlend Gourmet

This is not a bank that you want to put your money into or that you want to do business with!!!  This is not a bank with “Service” as their middle name.

HomeBlend Gourmet, LLC has found that in doing business banking with this bank, at first we had a really great Banker that was all for getting our business taken care of.  He was personable, friendly, always there if we needed a question answered, week-day or week-end, great guy who was all about service.

Then, last year, he was gone a lot from the office, always going down to Boise or Burley and having meetings.  We knew that he was not happy with the direction he was getting from the head office.  Eventually he quit and went to work for Wells Fargo Bank instead.

Since then, the service at DLEvans bank has been horrible. In this time of financial crises, when other banks are trying to help their customers out and help save businesses, DLEvans bank only wants to “get theirs”, the service has gone away from this bank and they have chased off all the really good personelle they had working for them as well.

Our company was sold June 1st of 2008, but the new company taking over has had a tough time raising money to pay the fees, so we have been patiently waiting for our funds.  DLEvans bank has had the contracts, the letter of intent, everything from these guys, so they know that the company is out of our hands.  We took out a second mortgage on our house in order to pay for the notes that were on the business as we waited for the other company to come up with the funds.  Only two months behind, 60 days, on our line of credit and our investment loan…and we were served papers to number one, sue us for the line of credit, and then to foreclose on the investment we had for the company…two months…60 days!  Normally, banks give you 90 days…nowadays really good banks are trying to make an extra efforts to help their clients out of economic bad times, but not DLEvans.  They are like rapists…they get what they want and leave you devistated and laying on the floor.

If you have money, don’t go to DLEvans bank to deposit…go to a federal bank like Wells Fargo, that is not in trouble and is solid.  If you have a business, stay away from DLEvans, cause they don’t care about you or your employees, they don’t care about your business, only themselves.

We are suppose to get our money soon and all the bills will be paid for.  Our products and company valuation was at 9,000,000.00 a couple of years ago and the company has only gotten stronger.  DLEvans Bank will never see a dime of the progression of our company or our products.

And I can tell you that as a woman, and a minority at that, this bank treated me with Racial undertones from the first time I met with the new manager.  He has called me a liar and has disrespected me from day one..and he is DLEvans finest.

In 2002 there was a university study released on a condition called Syndrome X. Since I was a research scientist, I read all the data and told my husband who’s family was addicted to diet drinks and diet products using things like Aspartame/Equal and Splenda/Sucralose(and still remains extremely overweight), that I was sure this was his problem. Mood swings, not sleeping, snoring, over-weight, low energy, frequent head-aches and frequent urination. He accused me of reading to much and continued on his artificial grazing, something I did not and do not allow my children to participate in. After his father and younger brother died in a short period of time, he came back from the funerals and said! “maybe there is something in what you said. I think I want those tests you suggested.”
I took him to the doctor, the test came back with the results that I had predicted months earlier. The doctor wanted to put him on some medication that I knew had been used as anti-seizure medication, I said “no”. The doctor accused me of reading to much.
I took my husband to a second doctor and asked for a prescription of an age-old medication tested for over 35 years in that disease, I also put my husband on a very strict diet and exercise routine. In six months, he had lost 85 pounds and I have to also add, that I took my husband to the doctor frequently to have the doctor also monitor my husbands health during this rapid weight loss.
By the time the holidays rolled around, he was dying for something sweet. I would not allow him to have artificial sweeteners like Aspartame/Equal or Splenda/sucralose of any kind, and he had to count calories and carbohydrates that were processed sugars and flours and keep them to 20 grams per day.
He begged me to create something that he could eat that looked ‘Normal”.
He said, “There is a reason why diabetics die from complications! We aren’t treated like a normal people, we don’t eat like normal people! We can’t go to church parties, weddings, company parties and be social eaters like everyone else. I’m tired of not having what everyone else gets to eat. I’m tired of having to eat stuff that doesn’t taste good, or that is hard or has the “health-food” taste to it. I want f-o-o-d! You need to create something that I can live with for the rest of my life if you want me to live at all!”
That was in December of 2002.
On March 3rd, 2003, HomeBlend Gourmet’s products, “SugarBlend” and “FlourBlend” were born. My husband had lost his father and brother in a short time and they were both very young and full of life and vigor. His father died from complications of diabetes, his youngest brother died in his sleep of unknown causes, which is not unusual for someone with insulin resistance and his medical history. Both drank tons of diet drinks, ate lots of diet product with lots of artificial sweeteners like Aspartame/Equal and Splenda/sucralose in them.
After we had invented the product and done glycemic tests with medically certified personnel for a couple of months, given our experimental product to a lot of local people to test in their kitchens and in their blood using certified medical personnel. After testing our product in our own company kitchen and with our own blood, including our children’s blood with certified medical personnel, we released it. We hired an independent sales person that worked with Hormel and other big companies to test the market for us.
In April of 2003, our independent sales consultant, Ron Kline with Kline Consulting approached McNeil Nutraceuticals in Pennsylvania. He showed them our product, which we had filed a trademark for with the Patent and Trademark Office in Washington DC as “SugarBlend”. McNeil’s Splenda team rejected our product, but 6 months later, started marketing “Splenda SugarBlend” in a oval logo! just like ours. Our attorney sent them 2 letters asking them to cease and desist, but the oral reply was, “We will tie you up in court so long that you will be bankrupt”.
We were a small company then, and McNeil Splenda SugarBlend knew that they had deep pockets and could force us out.
We have continued to maintain our website and our product. We have sold our product exclusively to Health Care Facilities for over 5 years now. The functionality of our products in food preparations has made us a favorite with Chefs in the health care industry, and the functionality in the body has made us a favorite with those that have tried us in their homes.
After losing family members with blood sugar issues, all of them addicted to artificial sweeteners like Aspartame/Equal and Splenda/sucralose, all of them over weight, we encourage you to use Natural Sweeteners in moderation, eat lots of fiber in your diet and exercise daily, for your health and long life! Count your calories and count your processed carbohydrates and limit them. Do not give your children artificial sweeteners of any kind like Aspartame/Equal and Splenda/sucraloseand teach them now to eat sensibly. If Artificial and chemical sweeteners are actually that beneficial, then why is obesity such a huge problem, such a growing problem in the world today?
Thank you so much for your continued support in our website and in our products. We will be selling this domain because we do not want to be associated any longer with the artificial sweetener “Splenda SugarBlend”. Splenda SugarBlend is a chemical sweetener treated with a chemical associated with insecticides.
Our product is all natural, and all ingredients are GRAS and the flavorings and some ingredients have substantial research as to the health benefits associated with them. We offer our customers not only all natural, low glycemic and great taste but help and hope for a healthier future.

I have been asked a couple of times over the course of the summer about Samoa, not by outsiders, but by Mainland Samoans, about our ancient culture, our traditions, our religion, our healing methods, our songs, our legends, our dances, our fighting methods, the way we built our houses, our boats, how we navigated, how we taught our young, how we cooked, how we fished, how we hunted, basically, how we lived.
Now, I was raised here in the US by my grandparents a goodly portion of my life. My grandparents lived like Samoans, but had the modern methods of living. It didn’t change the way my grandparents spoke, it didn’t change the way my grandparents were, and I guess I picked it up.
So now I have children, and they search for their own identity.  They are Samoan.
I wasn’t harsh with them, the way they are over in Samoa today! that had to be taught to the Samoan Culture by the Dutch. We never struck our children before the “whites” came, and our children were obedient. Our children stayed close to the mother! always around her, on her lap, by her side. She sang to them, she taught them, she passed on the geneology, she napped with them, she ate with them, she worked with them until they were old enough to be considered an adult.
The families were very close, so close that the they are considered “tribes”.
I think that because this was lost when the Samoans migrated to the US and other european areas, so many are starting to search for who they are, where they came from and why they feel the way they do.
For those of you who are Samoan, but not raised “Samoan”. My brother’s and Sisters, you are not lost, you are only on your journey back to your home!
I will begin to put a website together for those of us who need to remind our DNA where we call home.
I will call this website:  Samoa.SouthPacHealth.com
This website will not only have my Samoan based business information, but I will also put in a page on “Samoa Lost” where you will find legends of the ancient samoans, recipes for authentic Samoan food, links to polynesian boating sites to teach how to build your own boats, song clips, write-ups about our ancient religion of “Mana”, Articles on Rapa Nui, the place where Samoans came from and our ancient culture from Peru, all the stuff Samoans ask about and a blog that has how to integrate our Samoan or Polynesian heritage with modern culture. I will have articles written by Chiefs on Samoa and the political process and all those things that make you tick.
Give me some time to put this all together and send me an email if you want to know when it’s up and going! .homeblend@gmail.com, and I’ll send you an update, or if you want to contribute to this project!
Thanks for letting me rant!

I had to laugh when this came up on the search for Coke Plus!

http://bloodsweatandcodewp.blogspot.com/2007/04/consumer-review-diet-cokeplus.html

I have an acquired taste (regrettable passion?) for diet soda which makes what I have to say about DietCokePlus all the more sad.

The first disappointing thing about it is the label. The front is nice, “plus” is in rainbow letters, that’s cute. I like the choice of seabreeze blue for the accents and cap. “Diet Coke with Vitamins & Minerals,” it says. But then you turn to the Nutrition Facts on the back and realize you can probably get more vitamins and minerals out of a tablespoon of the water from your showerhead. Or maybe, depending on your cleaning habits, from the showerhead itself.

Per 8oz serving!
Niacin - 15% Daily value
Vitamin B6 - 15%
Vitamin B12 - 15%
Magnesium - 10%
Zinc - 10%

Notably completely absent are vitamin A, calcium, iron, and perhaps the most commonly (i.e. easily and cheaply) dissolved vitamin in prepackaged food and food-like products, vitamin C.

Also notably, in the ingredient lineup, coloring, aspartame (nutrasweet), and caffeine all occur in greater amounts than any of the above vitamins & minerals.

So if you were expecting a significant dose of anti-oxidants, this isn’t for you. If you were looking for cough syrup that comes in coke flavor, this is a close substitute, which brings me to my second disappointment. Diet beverages are usually ‘too sweet’ but this is off the charts, and I think it only comes in “diet.” I would recommend adding a cup of tap water to every 20oz bottle in order to dilute the aspartame and and top off the minerals.

You know that Aspartame is bad for the system! a natural glutamate which increases insulin in the system and can actually cause diabetes! yeah, better to drink the tap water, you get more from it and no bad side effects.
Why do compaines like this put Aspartame in all their diet products anyway, they taste bad and they offer no solution to the obesity issues! otherwise all those people drinking diet drinks would be thin!!!
Come on folks! adding limited vitamins and minerals to a soft drink is like giving you a little bit of anti-venom after you’ve been bit by a couple of diamond back rattlers! it sounds good, but shouldn’t you have enough to do some good and fight the toxin? Otherwise, what’s the point!
Thanks for letting me rant!

I met with our local County Commissioners here in Bonneville County Idaho last week on a gravel pit issue. The citizens had met with the planning and zoning people on this issue before that and the attitude seemed to be the same with these local “authorities”.
When environmental issues were brought up, they were blown off, when health issues were brought up, they were blown off, when fiduciary responsibilities came up, they were blown off, when liability issues were brought up, they were blown off. The only thing that was important to the planning and zoning and to the County commissioners, was “MONEY”.
I had been dealing with this little issue for a while, so I spent some time talking to IDEQ, EPA, Homeland security, Geologist, Hydrologist, Environmental Engineers! doing my homework.
I went to the County Commissioners and said, “did you know that these gravel pits are a natural filter for our drinking water?” “did you know that once the filer is gone and you allow someone to put in a grave pit, or a land fill which is done under an Ag1 permit, that anyone can bury chemical waste, agricultural waste or biological waste so that it seeps down into our aquifer and contaminates our water?”
Homeland security told me! “well, any terrorist can come over here, buy land or just walk onto someones land and pour contaminates down their well and they will kill off a bunch of the population, there is nothing you can do about it.”
That is kind of a defeatist attitude from an agency that is suppose to protect us, don’t you think?
We are at war with terrorists, and since we are at war, isn’t it our responsibility to look at our weaknesses and fix them so we don’t have a disaster?
These gravel pits in eastern Idaho pull out filtration for contaminates and keep our water clean. Water that moves at 14.46 feet per day, which is fast for an aquifer.
The water that the County Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning doesn’t seem to concerned about is the lifeline for this side of Eastern Idaho. If a terrorist cell comes here to Eastern Idaho, buys land, digs out the gravel (which is worth about 150,000.00 per acre), then pours a contaminate into the sub water, it will take 69 to 72 days for the first of the contaminates to kill the next farm over. By that time, the terrorists will be back in the middle east, with all the US money he made off the Americans, and untouchable as we die from who knows what.
The EPA was concerned, but said because the laws are written the way they are, the EPA can’t come in a stop anything until it’s to late, and by that time, again, they will be gone and we will be dying.
There has to be a public outcry, there has to be a noise made from the people who are concerned about being safe during this war.
If you have local, state and federal officials who are ignoring your concerns. If you have local, state and federal officials who don’t seemed alarmed about how easy it was for those terrorists on 9/11 to kill all those and affect all those lives, then it’s time we took measures into our own hands and voted out these people in office, and vote in people who have the same priorities that we do, the same concerns.
Water is to precious to be so cavalier about.  Life is to precious to be cavalier about.

so I’ve had a lot of people ask me about this “New” diet pill on the market. The first things is, it isn’t new! this is a lesser version of Xenical, which is orlistat. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, anything that promises “anal leakage” just isn’t worth it!!!! “The primary function of orlistat is to prevent the absorption of fats from the diet, thus reducing caloric intake. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the pancreas that is responsible for breaking down triglycerides in the intestine. Without the enzyme, fats are prevented from becoming absorbable and may then be excreted undigested. It is estimated that the drug blocks approximately 25% of all fat in the diet.

While most of the oils are eliminated as waste in the normal way, as mentioned some unpleasant side effects may include gas, incontinence, and oily spotting. These effects are obviously quite uncomfortable and inconvenient at times, and have caused some individuals to think twice about taking this drug!  ”
www.SkinnyOnDiets.com

Did you know that there is more research that states that a resistant starch will cause you to lose weight better than a diet pill? Resistant Starch is something you get in your diet, and it’s cheap food. Beans and such, an insoluble fiber that causes your gut to improve itself. Now doesn’t that sound better than a diet pill you have to carry extra pants around for? I have a formula that I mix up for my kids. It contains a resistant starch, with an all natural water-release agent and some pre-biotics. It helps them to feel full, it helps their immune system and it helps with extra-bloat.
Adding Sage to any meal with lots of fiber will help with excess gas, until you are use to extra fiber in the diet, then the system doesn’t need help in getting rid of the gas.

Try the resistant starch instead of the pill! it’s cheaper, more effective and you can live with the side-effects of the starch, you may not be able to live with the side effects of “Alli”.

China: Forging new paths!”as well as one that leads to a dead end

The head of the Food and Drug Administration was sentenced to death after pleading guilty to corruption. He’d accepted money to look the other way as substandard medicines went on the market, which resulted in some people’s deaths.

No, this isn’t our FDA!”it’s China’s, but doesn’t it give you a moment of pause to consider what would happen if we lived in a regime like China’s?

Some countries don’t pull any punches!”especially if their reputation can be affected by the release of tainted products onto the market. And the punishment is particularly grim!”court-ordered execution.

By now, you’ve probably seen all of the news reports about a tainted ingredient!”melamine!”that was found in pet food and in feed for livestock and fish. That sparked the recall of pet food after multiple pet deaths were reported. More recently, Chinese-made toothpaste was found to have some sort of industrial solvent in it.

And that’s the international picture. The domestic picture is also one of fear and uncertainty about the safety of food and drugs in China. That’s also where a tainted antibiotic that the condemned chief food inspector approved!”having taken a bribe!”was linked to at least 10 deaths.

Up until now, China has not had a food-and-drug-recall system, but has announced plans to put one in place by the end of the year.

The Chinese government is now working to license food and drug producers and to create safety guidelines.

This won’t cure bribery, however. How easy is it to leave important information out of documents? Or leave out some damaging research findings?

Just look at our own system. We have guidelines, we have laws, and we have food-and-drug recalls. And still, we have illnesses and deaths despite these measures.

We’re not so very different from the Chinese in that our issues and their issues share one main theme in common: greed.

Okay folks, now let’s talk about this.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL!!!
This new “FDA Approved” Alli diet pill has the news media talking, and I have to say that I agree with the Doctor interviewed on the Today Show this morning (061307). Counting Calories and Exercise is the only way to lose weight sensibly, and it’s cheaper!!!
The problem with society today is that no one wants to be accountable for their actions. Eat to much, get fat. Eat processed foods high in Fat, Sugar, Salt and White processed “stuff”, get fat. That is the fat and the skinny of the problem.
Why do we have fat kids, because we allow them to sit inside, on a couch or bed, watch tv all day or play video games all day. If they do get out and move, we bring them home with bags of fast food and shove it into their mouths hopeing to satisfy their needs! hog wash!
What happened to good, from scratch, home cooked meals? What happened to more wholesome snacks? What happened to “ride your bike or walk!” If I am concerned about their safety! I ride my bike or walk them over there.
Having a family is a lifetime commitment, it’s not something that you concern yourself with only on the week-ends, its more than a full time job to tend to children and a household.
Because we are teaching our children to sit and eat whatever they want! we are going to be continually looking for the magic diet pill, and you might as well buy a condo in Disney World and start carrying your wand around to make everything perfect!
The FDA is the most ridiculous organization the government has out there! really, a diet pill! why not advocate healthier living, why not advocate and regulate preventative medicine! I’ll tell you why, because it takes money out of someones pocket, because it’s cheaper to avoid danger then to live with it, that’s why.
Alli has some problems, it’s not the “cure all” that GlaxoSmithKline would like you to believe. Any label that suggests that you take an extra pair of pants with you because you’ll have “anal leakage” is not something that I am willing to try. How about trying a low-fat, low-carb diet and the PACE program to lose weight? How about trying the “Taste a treat” method instead of eating out the whole ice cream store?
What exactly are we teaching our children again? Oh yeah, if something goes wrong, don’t think about how the problem was created, just cover it up and throw money at it, in time that makes everything! better?

Thanks for letting me rant!

Why Is Splenda® Potentially Harmful?
Splenda contains the carcinogen, chlorine. Splenda marketers insist the chlorine is “chemically bound” so it cannot be released into the body during digestion. I question this and wonder if this artificial chemical can really safely pass through the human body.

Splenda (made from sucralose) is created in the lab using a complex process involving dozens of chemicals you and I can barely pronounce - let alone consume. Basically, the chemists force chlorine into an unnatural chemical bond with a sugar molecule, resulting in a sweeter product, but at a price: a huge amount of artificial chemicals must be added to keep sucralose from digesting in our bodies. These toxic substances also prevent (hopefully) the dangerous chlorine molecules from detaching from the sugar molecule inside the digestive system, which would be a carcinogenic hazard.

According to the Splenda International Patent A23L001-236 and PEP Review #90-1-4 (July 1991), sucralose is synthesized by a five-step process.
To illustrate the alarming “chemical soup” required to create sucralose, I have listed the chemicals used to produce this sweetener and to secure the chlorine does NOT digest in your body.

1.    Acetone
2.    Acetic acid
3.    Acetyl alcohol
4.    Acetic anhydride
5.    Ammonium chloride
6.    Benzene
7.    Chlorinated sulfates
8.    Ethyl alcohol
9.    Isobutyl ketones
10.    Formaldehyde
11.    Hydrogen chloride
12.    Lithium chloride
13.    Methanol
14.    Sodium methoxide
15.    Sulfuryl chloride
16.    Trityl chloride
17.    Toluene
18.    Thionyl chloride

So, how many man-made chemicals does it take to make one sick?

In the still of creation, there is a transfer of energy, of light, that can cause such excitement, such anticipation in matter that it envelopes the very essence of genesis, of life.
This exotic and powerful dance has been known and watched over by the Polynesian people since before they were “Polynesian” people. Polynesians have been explorers, astronomers, oceanographers, botanists, Physicians, Spiritualists and Healers from the beginning of time learning, teaching and applying their craft in the name of Mana, a word from our ancestry of Rapa Nu’i meaning, “unnatural power”.
To us, it means the power of life and creation, not only for humans, but for all matter that adheres to the same laws of space and time in which we live.
In our legends, we tell of the world being born from the sea of darkness, a substance you can swim through, float through and live in, a substance, not an emptiness, a substance.
In the Polynesian legends, all spaces and time are filled without void, and all spaces and time progress to the energy or power that is willing to sacrifice its own power, only to be filled with more power from the next space or time. A community of unity and order where energy and time is self-perpetuating and infinite.
From the beginning, our ancient people sought to be one with all things, the world, the air, the sun, the planets and space in order to harness the power of the universe and comprehend all things, to have Mana, to be Mana, to control Mana.
Mana, the ancient religion of an ancient people that taught us reason, that taught us the basics of life, that taught us to speak, to sing, to wail and to fight.
With Mana we understand that all things are energy, some things will give energy, some will take energy. We know that every inch of our being, every inch outside our body, every inch between the earth and the sun and beyond, is filled with matter, with energy, with instinctive intelligence.
As the ancients stood before the sun, and felt the warmth of it’s energy, and saw life gravitate towards it’s brightness, they stood in awe of its power, until they discovered that at night, the sun no longer had dominion over the planet, and man sought out “fire”. When he discovered that he himself could create light and heat from another source that was attainable, he began to search and wonder about the true source of “light”, of energy and power.
The ancient ones saw that their hands could harness the power from their surroundings and they themselves could create. They began to understand that they themselves were the seeds of Mana. They began to understand that to have Mana, to be Mana, to control Mana, they would have to understand themselves.
There began to be a concentration on the human body and mind, the perfection of cellular function in order to gain control over the energy and power that surrounded us. The High Priest of Mana, the Ancient Fo’fos and the ruling families were all well versed in the education of Mana and sought to further their knowledge of this power and it’s control. The High Priest searched out the ultimate source of power for their understanding, the Ancient Fo’fo’s sought out the power of the body and the earth to heal, and the ruling family who administrated over a civilization manipulated the power of Mana in order to save themselves and their people with a government. If Mana was sought after as a weapon against others, the power was not sustainable, because the human body absorbed the energy to feed it’s own darkness, it’s own anger and it’s own destruction. If Mana was used to heal or to learn or to teach, then the power was greater and reflective off from the person who was administering the ancient art and augmented itself in the surrounding areas and people. In other words, if Mana was being used as a positive energy, then the power would be like an avalanche, picking up speed and power on it’s way to it’s destination energizing each cell of matter as it cascaded along. If Mana was being used as a negative force, then the power would be absorbing, like a large rock that sits in the sun taking the energy to make heat and only influencing a small area surrounding the rock. The energy never completely goes away, but lays passively until acted upon again.
We began to learn that not only existing could influence Mana, but the intent of our words, our voices and our will could influence Mana as well.
Those of the Nurturing Class of Mana were powerful, insightful, and mystic,
learning to cascade energy and pooling it from place to place in order to correct abnormalities that sometime occur. The Infant Class of Mana were content to allow the power to ebb and flow through them in order to sustain life and daily breath, to achieve order in the true sense of obedience.
In the order of Mana, obedience was the true trigger for power and understanding. To understand the laws of energy and power and then to abide by them. To learn to walk with balance so that you do not stumble and fall. To become passive was to accept Mana and all its advantages, to become aggressive was to accept the responsibility of creating energy and displacing energy.
Within the hierarchal structure of Mana, there is the omnipotence of power dwelling within galaxy, upon galaxy, weaving within and without white holes and black holes, in between red dwarfs and new suns, asteroids and comets, moons and planets which deliver a balance of passive and aggressive power or energy.
The ancient Polynesians have learned that all this power can be harnessed in the tone or in the silence of a single sound emanating from the human body. A single vibratory cell calling out for the rest of time and space that it belongs to to join it and take what it has to offer. A seed to perpetuate light, energy and power that goes beyond human comprehension. This is the Art of Mana.

1.)

In over 200 years of assimilationist practices imposed upon the indigenous cultures of Polynesia, much of the religion of Mana and it’s art of healing has been lost.
During the period of time that Polynesia was being conquered in the name of the Christian God, the High Priests of Mana were chased out of their homeland because they were seen as evil and un-godly. Because prosecution was seen as the new lifestyle of the Priests, new recruits were not forthcoming, and Mana was then passed from the Priests to their children until today, only a handful of practitioners remain, and they are not willing to expose their cultural art to anyone but blood.

Polynesians have long proclaimed that “mana” holds the very essence or design for every cell in the body and mind. That long before our time began, all space and time was held in a single seed. The seed was hot, hotter then the sun itself. The seed shook and vibrated with all the power and energy that it held within. Finally, the seed matured enough that it burst forth with the web of life and began to expand holding within every space the pattern that would become mankind. Within every piece of matter that came from the seed, was the pattern of Man, and the ancients saw that it was Man that caused the universe to expand and grow, it was man for which the universe was created, and it was man that bound the past, present and future.
The pattern of man could control the very order of the universe, the order of matter itself. The ancients understood that everything they would touch, a piece of them would remain and bind them to it, so that men could claim it as their own. The ancients would know, that we are all connected through the pattern of mankind. The ancients ones called it a “pattern”, now we call it DNA.
Gregg Braden writes in his book The Divine Matrix,
“! In one experiment to test the behavior of DNA on light particles, the authors of the experiment, Poponin and Gariaev removed all the air from a specially designed tube. Using engineered equipment, the scientist measured the location of the only things that would remain in the tube, photons.
the scientists wanted to see if the particles of light were scattered about, or on the sides of the tube, or in a cluster at the bottom of the container. What they found was that the photons were distributed completely unordered, everywhere inside the container.
In the next part of the experiment, samples of human DNA were placed inside the closed tube with the photons. In the presence of DNA, the particles of light arranged themselves differently instead of in the scattered pattern they were in before. The DNA clearly had an affect on the photons as if shaping them into a pattern through an invisible force.
Then the DNA was removed from the container and the scientist believed that the particles would return to the original scattered pattern, but instead, the photons remained ordered, as if the
DNA’s influence was still in the tube.  Poponin described the light as behaving “surprisingly and counter-intuitively”
In his summary of the experiment, Poponin wrote that he and the researches were “forced to accept the working hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited”
This experiment is important because it clearly shows a direct relationship between DNA and the energy that the world is made of.
Here, there is proof that there is evidence that there is a powerful relationship that ancient traditions have held sacred for centuries.
The DNA or “Pattern of Mankind” changed the behavior of the light particles !“ the essence of our world!

In 1993, the US Army reported in the journal Advances results from experiments by Dr. Cleve Backster, who designed the experiment, to determine precisely whether the emotion/DNA; connection continues following a separation, and if so, at what distances?
The Army started by collecting a swab of tissue and DNA from the inside of a subjects mouth. This sample was isolated and taken to another room i the same building, where they began to investigate a phenomenon that modern science says shouldn’t exist. In a specially designed chamber, the DNA was measured electrically to see if it responded to the emotions of the person it came from, the donor who was in another room several hundred feet away.
In his room, the subject was shown a series of video images. Designed to create genuine states of emotion inside of this body, this material ranged from graphic wartime footage to erotic images to comedy. The idea was for the donor to experience a spectrum of real emotions within a brief period of time. While he was doing so, in another room his DNA was measured for it’s response.
When the donor experienced emotional “peaks” and “dips”, his cells and DNA showed a powerful electrical response at the same instant in time. Although distance measured in hundreds of feet separated the donor and the samples, the DNA acted as if it was still physically connected to his body.
The Army had stopped their experiments with the donor and his DNA when they were still in the same building, separated by distances of only hundreds of feet, however, Dr. Backster and his team had continued the investigations at even greater distances. At one point, a span of 350 miles separated the donor and his cells. The time between the donor’s experience and the cell’s response was gaged by an atomic clock located in Colorado. In each experiment, the interval measured between the emotion and the cell’s response was zero-the effect was simultaneous! .There is a quantum field that links all matter, so all things must be and remain connected! .” 1.
The Priests of Mana understood that reality is a vibrational web or network that holds the secrets of life, consciousness and wisdom. Inside the vibrational web, each Pule’(master) or Fofo(healer) would find that there are many levels that Mana operate from. Although primal Mana teaches that there are 12 levels of reality, awareness and experience, here we will only talk about the 3 major levels.

In the first level, the ancients would assess the “physical” level, where all life has a beginning and an ending, where time is linear, that is, it progresses from the past, through the present, and into the future. If an ailment was to be addressed at the first level, the FoFo’s would prescribe a certain diet and offer fofo(massage) or lomi(kneading).

The second level of reality is manifested in energy and emotions. “Malosi Manoa” is what holds everything together, a web that is defined by “dark strings” which is the foundation on which man’s physical reality is built upon and is in the modern world referred to as “baryons”. The Ancients have long known that when touched, there is an invisible bond that is created between one persons energy and another’s energy or place! it is through this touch which creates a “dark string” that allows you to know when the phone will ring and who is calling. It is here that the ancients found that energy can neither be created or destroyed, only shifting to a different state, there is no death here and life remains stable for a long period of time, only being influenced by the ebb and flow of energy. Time is synchronous and is interconnected through Malosi Manoa. The past, the present and the future manifests itself at once for review of the Pule’ in order to administer authority or healing.

The third level is a plane of realization or spiritual consciousness! where perception, knowledge and action occurs all at once. This is where men dream, where we receive protection and support for our spirit and all things within the universe have a relationship with each other. It is here that the Pule’ defines power and how it is administered, it is here that the Pule’ is taught by his/her ancesters, it is here that death and life mingle together in harmony for all things, in all levels.
