Who Can You Become?

Your Potential is a Picture of What You Can Become

by: Brian Gosur

According to the dictionary, the meaning to the word, “believe” is; to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something; although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so.

When you were a kid, did you believe in Santa Claus? I remember those days of wonder and excitement, writing your letters to Santa and waiting to see if you were good enough to get what was on your list, but as I got older and I listened to what my friends were saying, and some little things that I noticed on my own, It started to make my belief in Santa a little bit shaky. I wanted to believe, but the truth in the evidence of the existence of Santa just wasn’t there anymore. So I have come to the terrible conclusion, at the age of fifty seven, that there really is no Santa Claus. I hate to be the one to tell you that.

On a more serious note, do you believe in yourself? Remember that believe means to have confidence in the truth, the existence or reliability of who you really are. Do you know who you really are? I think that sometimes we hide who we really are because of the people, or the things that those people around us, have told us about ourselves. You will become a product of your environment, even if your environment is lying.

I grew up in a very unloving home. It was a home where we were never encouraged or given pats on the back for our successes. We never really had to many, and when we did they were either not acknowledged or we were ridiculed for even trying to do them. I was always told that I would never be able to achieve anything worthwhile.

But there was always an uncontrollable drive to compete, be competitive, and win. This stir was noticed by a coach and teacher in one of my schools that took me under his arm. He worked with me, encouraged me, and told me that I was good at sports and I should go out and tryout for some of the teams. This man gave me the hope and stirred the belief in myself, that I am good at things and if I work hard I can achieve success.

Well it took a long time but that seed of belief he planted in me started to sprout. I started to play sports and I realized that I could run fast, and I could hit the ball pretty good too. My confidence in the truth of which I really was, and not the lies that everybody else told me about myself, started to make me stronger, more confident, and more persistent in my drive to succeed.

Where are you? Your potential is a picture of what you can become. You believing in that potential helps you see it more clearly, and give you the strength to reach out, grab it, and make that truth a reality.

97% of the world’s population lives in a box that was molded by what everyone else said about them, and only 3% ever get out of that box, and reach for that truth that they know and have living in themselves. If you’re reading this article, you are a part of that three percent.

Don’t believe or listen to what someone else said or is saying about you and your dreams. Take a long look in your own heart. What do you see? What do you want to achieve? What is there? Take that inventory of yourself, and then take the necessary steps to training and moves you need to do to get on that road to the success you deserve.

A Short History of the Christmas Carol

by: Randy Stocklin

Some of our songs about Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Baby Jesus, and the holiday of Christmas are probably older than you think. Can you believe that one of the oldest Christmas carols was actually put together in the 300s? That is 1,700 years ago if you need us to do the math for you. It is believed that “Of the Father’s Love Begotten,” written by Aurelius Prudentius may have been the first recorded Christmas carol.

Over the years, Christian leaders have created Christmas carols to sing with their congregations and neighborhoods during the Festival of Lights. There were songs by St. Francis of Assisi, and those by Italians during the days of the Renaissance. Even the English added some Christmas carols to the mix.

Christmas carols became more popular when the famous inventor Johannes Gutenberg created his printing press around the year 1447. This machine allowed copies to be made fairly easily, so paper copies of Christmas carols could be rolled off by the dozens, even hundreds, and passed around to celebrators looking for song and fun.

Of course, around this time Christmas and Christianity were serious business. Puritans and other very stringent folks frowned upon carols, so they were not entirely popular. What’s worse, most of these paper copies were destroyed over time, by age or on purpose. From 1649 to 1660 in England, when the Puritans ruled the country, Christmas carols were banned altogether.

But it wouldn’t be too long after that that one of the most famous Christmas “carols” of all time was created, the Messiah by George Frederich Handel. Handel first performed the song in 1742 in Ireland in true Santa spirit, as a fundraiser for charities.

Another famous Christmas carol was written around this time as well. “Silent Night, Holy Night,” was penned by Joseph Mohr, a priest in Austria, in 1818. He wrote the song one Christmas Eve after discovering that his church’s organ was broken. He put together a song that everyone could sing without the need for the organ, and Mohr saved Christmas for his congregation that year.

Despite all of these early songs, many of our current Christmas carols didn’t start appearing until the end of the 1800s. That’s in part because the 1800s is when Christmas as a whole really started picking up steam as a holiday, and when puritanically dislike for Santa, carols, and anything fun with Christmas started to die down.

It doesn’t hurt, as well, that technology now makes it so easy to spread the cheer with Christmas carols. First, there were records and radio, but now we have CDs, DVDs, MP3s, and the Internet to spread holiday cheer. Whether you favor classic carols like, “Silent Night, Holy Night” or new traditions like Bing Crosby’s recording of “White Christmas” (the best selling Christmas single of all time!), Christmas carols are a long-established way to help celebrate the Christmas season.

The Dark Side of the Moon

Is there an “Alien Base” on the Moon[?] More and more people are

coming forward with stories of an Alien presence on the Moon.

Rumors are that their “Moon Base” is on the dark side of the

moon, the side we never see from Earth.

Did you ever wonder why the Moon landings stopped and why have we

not tried to build a Moon Base. It seems a better and easier idea

than a floating space station?

According to Neil Armstrong the Aliens have a base on the Moon

and wanted us to get off and stay off the Moon! Milton Cooper a

Naval Intelligence Officer tells us that the Intelligence

community calls the Alien Base “Luna”:

LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was

seen and filmed by the Apollo Astronauts. A base, a

mining operation using very large machines, and the

very large alien craft described in sighting reports as

MOTHER SHIPS exist there. – Milton Cooper

Did Apollo 11 Encounter UFOs on the Moon?

from the Book “Above Top Secret” by Timothy Good

According to hitherto unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong

and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic

landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember

hearing one of the astronauts refer to a “light” in or on a

crater during the television transmission, followed by a request

from mission control for further information. Nothing more was

heard.

According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio

hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA’s

broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:

NASA: What’s there?

Mission Control calling Apollo 11…

Apollo11: These “Babies” are huge, Sir! Enormous!

OH MY GOD! You wouldn’t believe it!

I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there,

Lined up on the far side of the crater edge!

They’re on the Moon watching us!

In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications

Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two

UFOs on the rim of a crater. “The encounter was common knowledge

in NASA,” he revealed, “but nobody has talked about it until

now.”

Soviet scientists were allegedly the first to confirm the

incident. “According to our information, the encounter was

reported immediately after the landing of the module,” said Dr.

Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at

Moscow University. “Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission

Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them

after having landed near the moon module. But his message was

never heard by the public – because NASA censored it. “According

to another Soviet scientist, Dr. Aleksandr Kazantsev, Buss Aldrin

took color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and

continued filming them after he and Armstrong went outside. Dr.

Azhazha claims that the UFOs departed minutes after the

astronauts came out on to the lunar surface.

Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11′s radio

transmissions were interrupted on several occasions in order to

hide the news from the public. Before dismissing Chatelain’s

sensational claims, it is worth noting his impressive background

in the aerospace industry and space program. His first job after

moving from France was as an electronics engineer with Convair,

specializing in telecommunications, telemetry and radar. In 1959

he was in charge of an electromagnetic research group, developing

new radar and telecommunications systems for Ryan. One of his

eleven patents was an automatic radar landing system that ignited

retro rockets at a given altitude, used in the Ranger and

Surveyor flights to the Moon. Later, at North American Aviation,

Chatelain was offered the job of designing and building the

Apollo communications and data-processing systems.

Chatelain claims that “all Apollo and Gemini flights were

followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by

space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin – flying saucers, or

UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it

occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then

ordered absolute silence.” He goes on to say:

“I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first

of the astronauts to use the code name ‘Santa Claus‘ to

indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space

capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by

the general public. It was a little different when James

Lovell on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from

behind the moon and said for everybody to hear: ‘PLEASE BE

INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.’ Even though this

happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden

meaning in those words.”

Rumors persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of

its programs are funded by the defense budget and most of the

astronauts are subject to military security regulations. Apart

from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films

and probably radio communications as well. We have the statements

by Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson and Maurice Chatelain that

the astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their

sightings. And Gordon Cooper has testified to a United Nations

committee that one of the astronauts actually witnessed a UFO on

the ground. If there is no secrecy, why has this sighting not

been made public?

A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged

in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.

Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?

Armstrong: It was incredible, of course we had always known

there was a possibility, the fact is, we were

warned off!(by the Aliens). There was never any

question then of a space station or a moon city.

Professor: How do you mean “warned off”?

Armstrong: I can’t go into details, except to say that their

ships were far superior to ours both in size and

technology – Boy, were they big!…and menacing!

No, there is no question of a space station.

Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?

Armstrong: Naturally – NASA was committed at that time, and

couldn’t risk panic on Earth. But it really was a

quick scoop and back again.

Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to go

into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA was behind the

cover-up.
