James Nachtwey on Extreme Drug Resistant Tuberculosis

My favorite photojournalist James Nachtwey was awarded the TED Prize in 2007 given a grant of us$100,000 and ‘One wish To change the world’. (If you have the time, go visit TED talks on their website for some inspiring great ideas on science, business and arts.)

Nachtwey best know for his stark images on humanity took the grant and started the project to highlight on Extreme Drug Resisant Tuberculosis (XDR-TB). Once treatable common disease has mutated through mis-management.

Everyone should be informed and educated that there is a serious concern that it might turn into a pandemic with no cure.

We have forgotten that Tuberculosis once plagued our world only a few decades ago. We have become complacent again, and this disease might be coming back on a pandemic level. XDR-TB arises when a patient with the common TB gets misdiagnosed or not treated. A simple treatment is all that is needed, as usual politics and money gets in the way.

Spread the word and bring attention to everyone at http://www.xdrtb.org/

James Nachtwey’s haunting photos of TB patients were taken from Thailand, Cambodia, India, Siberia, Lesotho brings us to the harsh reality. James Nachtwey’s haunting photos of TB patients were taken from Thailand, Cambodia, India, Siberia, Lesotho brings us to the harsh reality. His social documentary photos are filled with humanity that changes you. While his intentions are not to shock us, it shakes our attention and brings us back to reality, the gritty truth of what is really happening in the world.

Event : Spiritual Guru Siva Baba in Singapore 20th Sept 2008

This seems like an interesting event, Dattatreya Siva Baba (Dr. Baskaran Pillai) is the spiritual guru, who seem to be a popular guru on youtube videos, disseminating his teachings through internet channels. That is according to his self-proclaimation and his many press releases. I first heard of him through one of those internet press releases on AP and slate.

Presently living in the United States, he has been travelling around Asia giving talks and teaching healing techniques to the spiritually inclined…

I received this event through a recent email. The write up below is a little cheesy, however don’t let it deter you from participating. I shan’t give you any comments as yet, however I’ll be attending his session in the upcoming Singapore event.

Dattatreya Siva Baba will be in person to transmit profound Grace Light empowerment thorough an Advance immersion process for physical , emotional, spiritual healing. The strongest trasmission are possible in the presence of a fully enlightened master.

Place : RELC, 30 Orange Grove Road

During the seminar, Baba will enpower you with :

• Advanced intiation into the Grace Light, the light of God
• Special teachings in Soul Genetics with a group ritual to gain blessings of ancestors.
• Karma removal techniques to remove blockages in manifestation
• Direct access to the Divine with special mantras to attract money and loving relationship into your life.

The deepest level of Grace Light empowerment is called the 9-Gates process, which opens 9 vital centers in the energy body and brain. The 9-Gates Process is based on esoteric knowledge from antiquity. During this process, passwords will be revealed to open up the 9-gates within the energy body. For centuries this wisdom was kept secret by yogic masters and passed on to only their closest disciples. Once this process is completed and channels are open, you will learn how to transmit the Grace Light to others so you can carry it to family, friends and others in your life.

Grace Light Empowerment is a layering process. The Grace Light enters you more deeply and completely with each empowerment, with the strongest transmissions taking place in the presence of a Master. This is why Dattatreya Siva Baba is traveling to over 20+ cities worldwide to facilitate Grace Light transmissions.

Dattatreya Siva Baba belongs to the Tamil Siddha tradition of Southern India, an esoteric order whose origins can be traced to the eighth century. An Indian mystic and teacher who counts among his students the best-selling author Wayne Dyer, is known to many followers as the “YouTube Guru” because of his frequent video transmissions on everything from yogic meditation practices to quantum mechanics.

Dattatreya Siva Baba will be in Singapore speaking about Mind Sound Technology™ (MST) on the Television CHANNEL NEWS ASIA on the Program “Prime Time Morning” at 8:50 am – 9:00 am (SGT) on 22nd Sept 2008.
