Γιατί μπήκατε στο δαχτυλίδι της φωτιάς - Μια ομιλία του M.N. Hopkins
Οι φωτιές της αλλαγής καίνε τώρα και θα συνεχίσουν να καίνε όσο ο Άνθρωπος κατοικεί σε ανθρώπινη μορφή. Γιατί μπήκατε στον δακτύλιο της φωτιάς με την ενσάρκωσή σας σε ανθρώπινη μορφή. Η φωτιά θα κάψει τη θλίψη των αιώνων και θα σας μεταμορφώσει και θα σας μεταμορφώσει όλους μια μέρα σε Όντα του Φωτός. Μόλις ανάψει η φωτιά της δημιουργίας, θα δείτε τη ζωή ως μια περιπέτεια που θα τη ζήσετε όπως παίζει ένα παιδί. Κατά τη διάρκεια του παιχνιδιού οι πολύ μικροί παρατηρούν και προβληματίζονται για όλα όσα βλέπουν με μια χαρούμενη συμπεριφορά. Αυτή η χαρά είναι που τροφοδοτεί τη φω... read more

Biotech: EU Commission spreading misinformationThe EU Commission has rejected criticism of its report on plants and New GE (New Genetic Engineering, genome editing).

The Commission is directly repeating claims made by industry and affiliated experts that are contrary to existing scientific evidence. Testbiotech is therefore warning against the spread of misinformation and disregarding of science. read more
