Consuming Alcohol Comes With These Serious Spiritual Consequences

By

spiritual consequences of alcohol

A very small number of people can’t really stand it and even fewer choose not to drink it. While there are some societies where alcohol consumption is illegal, the majority of countries produce and consume alcohol on large scales.

And when you come to think of it, not many are truly aware of how serious the consequences can be from consuming alcohol. If you start with the alcohol-related health issues, it is obvious just how harmful it can be to one’s body.

Physically speaking, alcohol is a well-known nervous system depressant, it destroys brain cells, it’s very harmful to the liver, it can shatter your immune system, and these are just some of the side effects of using it.

Prolonged use of alcohol negatively affects your intelligence, it disrupts the hormonal balance in your body, it leads to diseases of the liver, and it causes weight gain. Drinking it during pregnancy can cause deformities and birth defects in the fetus. On top of all that, causes severe addiction which has ruined the lives of those who drink it and their closest ones.

So, how come it’s legal?

While we won’t go there right now, we will go to the spiritual consequences of using alcohol that even fewer people are aware of.

The word “alcohol” has its origin from the Arabic “al-kuhl”, which means “BODY EATING SPIRIT”. This word is also the root of the English “ghoul”. The Middle Eastern culture describes the ghoul to be a demon which feeds off the bodies of stolen corpses or children.

You may be surprised that the word for alcohol comes from Arabic, bearing in mind that that is one of the rare cultures which prohibits its use. It seems, though, that they knew what they were prohibiting. The current Arabic word for alcohol الغول al-ġawl means “spirit” or “demon”.

Writer and health enthusiast Jason Christoff explains that alchemists used alcohol to “extract the soul essence of an entity,” which practice is today also applied in the extraction of essences for essential oils, and sterilization of objects and instruments.

“By consuming alcohol in the body, it in effect extracts the very essence of the soul, allowing the body to be more susceptible to neighboring entities most of which are of low frequencies.”
-Jason Christoff

 By consuming alcohol, you weaken your own vibration and your energetic shield drops, allowing for lower frequency entities to try and take over. Excessive use leads to the complete takeover, as the soul temporarily vacates the body being unable to endure the toxic (both physically and energetically) environment.

During the intoxicated phase, your mind is ruled by the low vibrations which have taken over, inspiring you to rush into a hedonistic, promiscuous, self-serving, and even destructive rampage.

Author Zahrah Sita explains that this takeover can be observed by someone who is more spiritually evolved and is able to perceive beyond the natural senses, as she herself has managed to observe.

In her observation, she could see how the souls of those who were intoxicated by alcohol left the bodies only holding to a tether, while “other non-benevolent entities entered or latched on to their vacant shells.”

She explains that once these entities take over the body, they use it “to play out all kinds of dark acts.” If you thought that being drunk is an excuse for getting into a low-level sexual act, which you may probably regret later, it’s perhaps best to stop drinking.

Alcohol use has attributed to many violent acts, destructiveness, rape, and even murders. And all this negativity has never been on the good side of humanity. And our constant battle to become better than yesterday has always been obstructed by these substances that pull us back.

As to why alcohol is legal, that’s one question that you need to think about very deeply. Alcohol has been manipulatively advertised and promoted in our societies as a tool for ‘good times’. Yet, it is the sole reason for the suffering of many families.

Alcohol has long been the dirty trick up the sleeve of those who wanted to impose their control over a more easily manipulated mass of people. It’s the dirty trick which has caught many in its web and holds them to the consciousness of animals.

Now it’s yours to decide what you want out of your life and how you are planning to spend it. Think of this: does it make you healthier, smarter, or a better person? Do you really need it?

It’s not the alcohol that helps you to have a good time, it’s the good people you are surrounded with. Look deeper within and you will find what you have been looking for. Focus on living a healthy and dependency-free life, and choose to always be better than yesterday.

In the end, if that’s not the best, what is?

12-Year-Old Boy Who Transitioned To Female Changes His Mind Two Years Later

By
Elizabeth Williams

An Australian boy who underwent a sex-change procedure changed his mind after 2 years in the process.

At the age of 12, Patrick Mitchell decided to start taking estrogen hormones after he was diagnosed with gender dysphoria – a condition where a person is in a state of unease because their gender identity does not match with their biological sex.

And after talking to his mother and consulting with professionals, it was decided that the procedure would be the right choice for Patrick.

With the full support of his mother, Patrick grew his hair out and started taking estrogen hormones, and in turn, his body started growing breasts.

By 2017, the teachers at Patrick’s school began to refer to him as a girl, and this made him start questioning whether he made the right decision.

Feeling confused, he had a heart to heart with his mother, explaining to her that he wasn’t sure that he was a girl and that he wanted to transition back into a boy.

Now, to revert to his original sex, Patrick stopped taking the estrogen therapy and is about to undergo surgery to remove the breasts that have grown.

Gender dysphoria is rare, but public awareness of this condition has encouraged people to become more open about it and take the appropriate steps.

Children exhibit gender dysphoria early in their development, behaving and dressing in ways that are typical of the opposite gender. While this may seem confusing to the parents, it is nevertheless something which is real and requires attention.

If you suspect that you or your child may have gender dysphoria, it’s recommended that you consult with a doctor. You should be aware that gender dysphoria can be very traumatic and there have even been cases of self-mutilation and suicides where proper treatment hadn’t been provided.

5 Phrases Sociopaths And Narcissists Use To Control Others

By
Elizabeth Williams

Being a narcissist is not the same as being a sociopath. Although we tend to think of these words as synonyms, they’re actually not. A narcissist doesn’t have to be a sociopath, but all sociopaths are narcissists. Both of them use manipulation to make themselves superior to everyone else.

However, narcissist don’t usually need to have control over other people’s lives. They just want the attention of the others because they are selfish. On the other side, sociopaths use manipulation because they want the control.

It’s amazing how capable these people are at manipulation. They’re so good, many people just don’t realize that they facing a sociopath or narcissist and start to reconsider their own principles about certain things because of their influence.

How can one recognize a sociopath or a narcissist? These are some of the phrases they use to make themselves superior and to take over the control.

  1. I really hate drama

Even if they say this, you can be sure they don’t mean it. In fact, they are the ones that cause all the drama, but always end up looking innocent at the end. They enjoy fighting, although they will repeat several times that they avoid it. They even like when other people fight.

When they’re fighting, they always put the blame on the other person and accuse them of making the drama, even when the other person talks about the problem in a calm way.

No matter how supported your statements are, they will probably win at the end thanks to manipulation. At the end, the other person always feels like they’re the one to blame.

  1. You are…

… overdramatic, paranoid, jealous. Their objective is to make you feel bad about yourself and lose your confidence. After a while, the opponent starts believing the words of the manipulator.

They want you to start believing their accusations and feel bad. That’s how they take over the control over you. It’s much easier for them to make you their puppet if you’re vulnerable and have low confidence.

  1. You are so emotional

Similarly as the previous phrase, the manipulator wants to make you feel bad about yourself. So, they will start to criticize you, when you’re alone and in front of others.

If you confront them in any way, they will calmly tell you that you’re being too emotional and you’re overreacting. They just test your limits this way.

  1. You didn’t understand me

Narcissists and sociopaths will lie just to be right. They will put the blame on you and criticize you, but they will also deny it if you accuse them.

They will never admit that they were not right, no matter how hard you try. Finally, they will be so persistent that you will start doubting yourself and end up apologizing, again.

  1. You are nothing without me

This is the final stage of the whole process. After they have made you doubt yourself and took over the control over everything you do, they will feel confident enough to tell you that you can’t live without them and you will believe it.

Your low confidence and feeling of insecurity will reinforce the feeling that you need them in your life. So, even when you decide to end it, they will just tell you that you need them and you will agree because you will be sure it’s true.

A relationship like this can last for years if the victim is not strong enough to put an end to it. Isolation from them can be helpful, but also an honest talk to someone you trust.

This Is What Happens When You Place Some Ice At This Point On Your Neck

By
Elizabeth Williams

While ice therapy doesn’t necessarily cure ailments, it does relieve symptoms and make you feel better. So, head to the freezer and get an ice cube for a soothing, self-healing ice therapy.

The combination of acupuncture and ice therapy

According to the acupuncture practice, this point on the neck is called Feng Fu. It’s located at the point between the base of the skull and the top of the spine, and it’s also known as the Warehouse of Change and the Ghost Pillow point.

Feng Fu is believed to be the place through which the ‘evil spirits’ enter the mind and start controlling it. This point is also believed to be of crucial importance to the communication between the mind and the rest of the body.

Disruption in the energy flow in this point usually results in headaches, stiffness and pain in the neck and face region, throat swelling and laryngitis, and other problems that we will mention later.

Adding ice to this point has a physical effect of relieving the tension that may have been caused by swelling, inflammation, or blood accumulation. This, in turn, relieves the energetic tension at this point and allows for a better flow.

Don’t overdo it!

Placing ice on the back of your neck, and especially at that particular point, can be very beneficial if done in moderation. However, spending more than 20 minutes with the ice on your neck is not recommended.

To avoid injuring your skin, it’s best that you wrap the ice in some thin washcloth. And listen to your body – if you can’t endure the cold after the first few minutes, remove the ice and give your neck some rest.

You should be aware that this treatment serves to relieve some symptoms and help you feel more comfortable, it won’t cure you of the problem that causes the pain in the first place. Should the pain endure for a longer period of time, it’s best to consult your physician.

The benefits of placing ice on the Feng Fu point

It’s best done on an empty stomach. You need to lie on your stomach and leave the ice on the point for a maximum of 20 minutes. Do it in the morning and before going to bed with 2-3-day breaks.

Acupuncture practice has shown that this method will help you with:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Tremors and twitching
  • Numbness and dizziness
  • Chronic neck or shoulder pain
  • Earache
  • Eye pain
  • Tooth pain
  • Lockjaw
  • Nosebleeds
  • Throat swelling
  • Aphasia (trouble speaking, as in laryngitis)
  • Spinal cord problems

It is also believed that this treatment can help with some mental health concerns, such as manic behavior, fear, or suicidal thoughts. However, consulting a licensed psychological therapist is a must.

Energy-wise, allowing for a better energy flow through this point will certainly improve your mood and increase your energy. It is thought that this method is one of the secrets to a healthier and longer life.

Whatever your reason might be (and as long as it’s within the boundaries of safe behavior), this easy and cheap home treatment is something that won’t take much from your time and will yield some very satisfactory results.

Southwest Airlines Flew A Plane With Puppies To Help Them Escape The Hurricane Harvey

By
Elizabeth Williams

When a hurricane, such as Harvey, exposes its wrath on a city, the end results can be devastating – both for people and animals. Shelters can get so overcrowded that many rescue animals and pets are left outside, on God’s mercy.

However, Southwest Airlines came up with a marvelous idea. They decided to perform an operation they named “Operation Pets Alive” in order to save more than 60 animals that were left without a shelter during the storm.

The Helen Woodward Animal Centre located in San Diego is supposed to find them new homes as they have been transferred on a plane from Houston to San Diego.

Flight attendants have also made their flight more enjoyable.

They also fastened their seat belts and made sure that the pets were safe during the whole flight.

And the pilots just could not resist their cuteness and decided to have some fun with them too.

Some of them have already found their home as they have been transferred to foster homes.

Linda Rutherford, a Southwest Airlines Chief Communication Officer, said: “The devastation of Hurricane Harvey has impacted a number of our communities along the Gulf. Our hearts are with our Customers, Employees, family, and friends who have experienced loss and devastation from the storm.“

She also expressed genuine gratitude to the Helen Woodward Animal Centre for their collaboration and help. The project sure gives hope that there are some institutions that do care about our furry, four-legged friends to not be left out in difficult times like this.

6 Main Sources of Hair Loss

By
Elizabeth Williams

Article written by Paulo Nogueira

Losing your hair is one of the most dreadful things you can go through as a man or woman; a professional like an account or lawyer or blue collar worker like a plumber or decorator.

Sometimes these causes are reversible however sadly there are also permanent reasons for going through male pattern baldness which can’t be easily restored.

Here are some popular reasons why your hair may be falling off.

Stress

Any sort of physical trauma, an auto collision, or an extreme disease, even the flu can cause brief hair loss. This can trigger a sort of male pattern baldness called telogen effluvium. Hair has a customized life cycle: a development stage, rest stage and shedding stage. “When you have a truly upsetting occasion, it can stun the hair cycle, (pushing) more hair into the shedding stage,” clarifies Marc Glashofer, MD, a Hair Transplant Surgeon in Birmingham for My Hair Transplant Clinics. Male pattern baldness frequently winds up noticeably perceptible three to six months after the injury.

What to do: fortunately hair will begin becoming back as your body recoups.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one case of the kind of physical anxiety that can cause male pattern baldness (that and hormones). Pregnancy-related male pattern baldness is seen all the more normally after your infant has been conveyed instead of really amid pregnancy. “Conceiving an offspring is entirely awful,” says Dr. Glashofer.

What to do: If you do encounter male pattern baldness, rest guaranteed that your hair will come back in two or three months. “It’s an ordinary thing and it will work out,” Dr. Glashofer says.

An excess of vitamin A

Exaggerating vitamin A-containing supplements or medicines can trigger male pattern baldness, as indicated by the American Academy of Dermatology. The Daily limit for vitamin A is 5,000 International Units (IU) every day for grown-ups and kids over age 4; supplements can contain 2,500 to 10,000 IU.

What to do: This is a reversible reason for male pattern baldness and once the overabundance vitamin A is stopped, hair ought to develop typically.

Absence of protein

In the event that you don’t get enough protein in your eating routine, your body may apportion protein by closing down hair development, as indicated by the American Academy of Dermatology. This can occur around a few months after a drop in protein admission, they say.

What to do: There are numerous awesome wellsprings of protein, including fish, meat, and eggs. In the event that you don’t eat meat or creature items there are several plant based proteins you can consume.

Male Pattern Baldness

Around two out of three men encounter male pattern baldness by age 60, and more often than not it’s because of male pattern baldness. This kind of male pattern baldness, caused by a combo of genetic and male sex hormones, more often than not takes after a great example in which the hair retreats at the sanctuaries, leaving an M-moulded hairline.

What to do: There are topical creams like Minoxidil (Rogaine) and oral prescriptions, for example, finasteride (Propecia) that can stop balding or even reason some to develop; surgery to transplant or unite hair is likewise an alternative.

Heredity

Female hairloss, called androgenic or androgenetic alopecia, is essentially the female adaptation of male pattern baldness. “On the off chance that you originate from a family where ladies began to have male pattern baldness at a particular age, at that point you may be more inclined to it,” says Dr. Glashofer. Not at all like men, ladies don’t have a tendency to have a retreating hairline, rather their part may broaden and they may have observable diminishing of hair.

What to do: Like men, ladies may profit by Minoxidil (Rogaine) to help develop hair, or if nothing else, keep up the hair you have, Dr. Glashofer says. Rogaine is accessible over-the-counter and is recommended for ladies with this kind of balding.

11 Things People Don’t Realize You’re Doing Because You Are A Highly Intuitive Person

By
Elizabeth Williams

Intuition is very hard to define. It’s something which is inevitably present among people, and which serves to give us subtle guidance in the things we do. And no matter how much you are or aren’t in touch with your intuition, you will notice yourself being led by it in times when you need it most.

However, there’s a number of people who possess high intuitive skills and they let this high intuition lead their lives to achieve flawless results. These individuals trust their gut feeling and they seem to do the right thing at the right moment every time.

If you are one of them, you will agree that these 11 things are what you do differently from those who aren’t in touch with their intuition as much as you are:

  1. You trust your inner voice unconditionally

The inner voice which comes as a hunch or a gut feeling is what highly intuitive people have tuned into and will listen to every time it speaks.

A highly intuitive person will know that this voice will always lead them to a solution to a problem, or will lead them out of trouble at the right moment – and it’s always right!

  1. You tend to spend time alone

No matter how busy their lives may be, the highly intuitive person will always have some alone time in their day. They respect being with themselves and listening to their own silence, as they are aware that this silence speaks a lot more than any sound. In these moments, they connect to their deepest and innermost wisdom.

  1. You are creative

Creativity is the fruit of intuition. A highly intuitive person is also a highly creative one. These people like spending time thinking up of the most creative ideas and activities. And the more they nurture their creativity, the greater their intuition becomes (and vice versa).

  1. You practice mindfulness

Consciously or not, everything you do, you do with a lot of mindfulness involved in it. The highly intuitive person is almost always aware of the whole experience and every part of it.

And of course, if you are able to pay attention to what’s happening inside of you, then it won’t be hard at all to notice anything else around you.

  1. You can’t help observing everything

Not only do highly intuitive people experience everything with all their senses, but they also tend to observe everything around them. Part consciously and out of curiosity, and part unconsciously, the highly intuitive person will eventually notice everything.

  1. You are in touch with your body

A highly intuitive person is able to observe everything which is happening in their body – and hence the gut feeling which many don’t take seriously.

They know when they need a certain kind of food, and they can feel when something is wrong with their health.

  1. You can connect with others on a deeper level

High intuition is closely related to empathy, as the power of observance that the intuitive person possesses can easily be directed to the intuitive ability. This allows them to connect with those around them on a much deeper level and understand them intuitively.

  1. You pay more attention to your dreams

Being able to decipher the signals from your subconscious allows you to remember and analyze your dreams more easily.

The highly intuitive person follows up on their dreams the first thing in the morning and spends some time thinking about them and trying to figure out the message their subconscious has been trying to send.

  1. You dedicate a lot of down time to recharge

The hectic lives we live wear our intuition down, simply because we lose touch with ourselves. The highly intuitive person will automatically do everything necessary to take a break from all that stress and recharge. How do they know when they need their down time? Intuition.

  1. You mindfully let the negative emotions go

Being in touch with such heightened intuition is a gift which allows the bearer to masterfully realize and let go of any negative emotions that would otherwise cloud the intuition. Intuition brings a subtle insight into the events and the emotions that revolve around them. And this insight brings clarity and the ability to let go.

  1. You know things before you find the definition for them

A lot of information that comes to the intuitive person is something which may have already been understood and defined. However, any information is useful only when you really need it.

The highly intuitive person will come to this information with no effort, and the surprise is very satisfying when they learn that they came to it before having read about it.

The Secret Of Foster Children That No One Talks About – It’s Really That Bad

By
Elizabeth Williams

There is one problem that has been talked about for quite some time now with such urgency, and yet some people still not perceive it as a real problem. You probably have heard about it on the news, or have read about it in newspapers and social media.

The headlines and phrases they use usually go like this: “There is a need for foster parents”; “The country is in a deep crisis”; “Children are brought far away from their home because there is a shortage of foster homes to take them,” and so on.

No matter how urgent and critical the situation seems when you hear something like this, you could not help but wonder: Where are all these kids? Why don’t you see them? You are not wrong for asking yourself these questions – they are valid and necessary.

And what’s interesting is that the answers to these questions are more simple and obvious than you think. All you need to do is take a look at the events happening near you or the news you read and watch on local media.

For instance, those arrests for domestic violence or drug dealing, the violent attacks and murders in families usually include children.

Those children are innocent – that’s why they are rarely mentioned on the news. But the sad reality is that children are victims caught in the middle of the incidents, and oftentimes they lose their parents and have no place to go.

The media only gives information about people directly involved in the events – they show the shooting, the attacks, the arrests…

However, they don’t show children who are left homeless, or without one or two parents.

They don’t show the children’s screaming as they are being involuntarily dragged out of their homes while social workers carry hastily their clothes in garbage bags.

They do not show on TV the loud screaming and crying of the children who are involuntarily taken from the only family they know and love.

You are not aware of it unless you become a foster parent. Only then you will start to realize how serious and common this problem actually is.

You will begin to feel really bad and feel sorry for these children who have nowhere else to go. So, you start asking yourself: Is there something you can do to help them?

If you are one of the kind-hearted people out there, and if you want to help, there are some things that you may be able to do that will be of huge help for these children:

1. Start by sharing this post so that you can raise awareness on this subject;

2. Find out if there is someone near you that is already fostering. Foster parents rarely mention this subject, so you will be surprised to discover that there are many of them, and some even in your neighborhood. Let them know that you will support them and help them with the next child that enters their home;

3. Bring them a meal and paper plates. Do not ask if they need this – they do. Be curious about what they usually eat and when and just bring the food 30 minutes before the meal. If you are not able to bring the food yourself, call a delivery restaurant, order the food, and arrange it to bring the food to the foster parents 30 minutes before their usual time of lunching or dining;

4. Help the foster parents with doing the laundry. Wash the laundry, dry it, and bring it back to them;

5. Do grocery shopping for them;

6. Offer to babysit the other children while the foster parents are taking the new kid to the hospital for all first week’s medical appointments;

7. Make a list of the things that the child needs and provide those things for them;

8. Attend a class at your local DCS to learn more about foster parenting;

9. Get a “respite” license – that is a license for you to be able to take care of a foster kid for a week or less;

10. Don’t forget to ASK! Always keep asking the foster parents what they need and what you can do to support them. Many times there are not many things you can do, but your interest and will to help are encouraging for them. Plus, the more you show interest they will begin to trust you more and will call you if a need arises.

Sharing is caring!

15 Chilling Facts About The Mystery Of The Philadelphia Experiment

By
Elizabeth Williams

Many theories suggest that the mightiest governments in the world hold secrets that could potentially change the way we see the world. From the idea that they cover up alien encounters to the supposed research in advanced and superior technologies that have the power to change the world, many of these theories have been dismissed as soon as they have emerged.

We won’t get too much into whether such theories are just figments of imagination or something to be taken a bit more seriously. Instead, we will focus more closely on one experiment which has left many baffled and has become the stuff of urban legends.

The USS Eldridge, a Cannon-class destroyer, will remain as perhaps one the most mysterious ships in history that, according to witnesses, disappeared into thin air. As the main object of the Philadelphia Experiment, the ship was intended to be enveloped in a force field that would render it invisible, both to radar and to the naked eye.

According to sayings, this experiment had been seen by hundreds of people taking place in front of their very own eyes on October 28, 1943. But these claims have since been dismissed and the stories were covered up – thus reducing every evidence of the event to mere whispers.

Officially, the US Navy denies that such experiment has ever taken place. A top-secret technology research, or a stuff of science fiction? Let’s look into the facts that surround the mystery of this experiment and decide for yourselves.

  1. THE INVISIBLE SHIP

This fascinating experiment has long been a thing of urban legends and conspiracy theories. The research behind this experiment was done in order to create a technology that would grant “invisibility” to the US Navy ships from mines and torpedoes.

They wanted to achieve this by reducing and bending the magnetic fields around the ships and they did conduct this research at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Relating to this project, the USS Timmerman was equipped with a high-frequency generator that could create discharges which would disrupt the magnetic field.

It is a fact that these experiments took place in the 1940s, and this part of the story is nothing but fact. As for the rest…

  1. MORRIS K. JESSUP

It wasn’t until Morris K. Jessup that the Philadelphia Experiment was considered as a mere story and rumors spread by the people to warn others against the actual might of the government and the numerous secret projects that were carried out by the US Military back then.

However, after publishing his The Case for the UFO book, Jessup started receiving letters which spoke of Einstein, electromagnetic forces, and secret Navy projects. In this series of letters, the mysterious sender also spoke about the Philadelphia Experiment.

Jessup’s death in 1959 was ruled a suicide, and he became a legendary figure in the complex tale of the Philadelphia Experiment ever since.

  1. CARL ALLEN

As the mysterious person behind the Jessup letters, who wrote under the alias Carlos Allende, Carl Allen described in full length his testimony of the Philadelphia Experiment. Allen describes how, while he was serving aboard the SS Andrew Furuseth, the USS Eldridge suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the water before him.

He is considered by many as the originator of the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. However, William Dodge, the captain of the SS Andrew Furuseth, disputed Allen’s claims, adding that not only did he or his crew not notice anything peculiar in Norfolk, but that the ship wasn’t even in Norfolk at the time of the supposed appearance.

Allen’s claims have since been completely discredited by skeptics, and he was called insane, suffering from severe mental issues.

  1. THE FIRST EXPERIMENT

The Philadelphia Experiment wasn’t a single event. While the most famous one is the second, the first experiment happened earlier that year on July 22.

According to those who claimed to have seen it happen, in the first experiment, the USS Eldridge vanished into thin air and reappeared at the same spot only moments later. So, what happened to the ship, and where did it go? That’s where the second part of the experiment comes in.

  1. THE SECOND EXPERIMENT

Of course, there would be no use in making a ship disappear, if you can’t actually do something with it. Well, according to eyewitnesses, the Navy did do something with it.

As part of the second experiment, the USS Eldridge did not only gain its invisibility, but it allegedly appeared out of nowhere in the waters of Norfolk, Virginia on October 28, 1943.

According to witness reports, the ship suddenly materialized in the waters, only to disappear again moments later. It seems that the Navy succeeded in not only successfully making the ship disappear, but also in finding a way to move it 300 miles away while invisible.

  1. EINSTEIN’S UNIFIED FIELD THEORY

This theory is often cited to be standing behind the technology of the Eldridge’s disappearing act. Einstein tried to find a way to combine gravity and electromagnetism into one theory.

Not being content with the idea that gravity and electromagnetism are two completely independent fields of each other, Einstein spent the last years of his life working on the Unified Field Theory.

However, Einstein never succeeded in proving his theory. In fact, he never finished his work on the theory, which he was working on until his death. So, how does it connect to the Philadelphia Experiment?

Although accepted science doesn’t offer a completion to the theory, believers claim that the Navy must have had a scientist who managed to complete Einstein’s work and crack the scientific code behind the theory – resulting in a practical application in the Philadelphia Experiment.

  1. THE BAR FIGHT

Another part of the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment is the almost anecdotal and utterly bizarre bar fight, during which two of the sailors involved in the experiment suddenly vanished into thin air.

Based on witness sayings and originally sourced in Allen’s letters addressed to Jessup, this tale is just one of the many strange events that surround the Philadelphia Experiment Allen described in his letters.

However, except for the letters, there has been no legitimate publication or a second credible witness to this event.

  1. THE SIDE EFFECTS

The bar fight was just one of the odd events that surround the Philadelphia Experiment. A far more serious claim has been that of the serious effects the disappearing ship had on the crew. This was one of the alleged reasons as to why the technology was abandoned.

Namely, it has been said that the event had traumatic effects on the crew members, some of who went insane beyond repair and violently ill. Another claim was that after the ship re-appeared, several sailors were found gruesomely fused with the ship.

  1. AL BIELEK (a.k.a. Ed Cameron)

If you thought the narrative around the experiment was crazy enough, it couldn’t get much wilder than Al Bielek’s alleged account of the event. His story goes that he was diving into the waters around the ship with his brother the day when the experiment took place.

According to his claims, not only did he see the effects of the experiment, but that he and his brother Duncan were allegedly teleported into the future, in the year 2137. After a period of two years in the future, he was then returned back to the year 1983.

He has even written two books that describe his experiences. He was dismissed by skeptics as being a complete fraud, an attention seeker, and plain crazy.

  1. THE OFFICIAL STORY

Besides all the stories and supposed eyewitness accounts, the US Navy categorically denies that the Experiment has ever happened.

The fact that the USS Eldridge was in Philadelphia and Norfolk, Virginia on the same day is accounted for the fact that the Navy had access to a channel which was not used by other ships and which allowed the ship to travel that distance in 6 hours, which is by 30 hours faster than the conventional time needed for merchant ships.

The Navy has stated that they had never made a ship disappear, nor could they make one disappear, and that the story surrounding the Philadelphia Experiment was just a weird combination of theories, legend, and the fact that they were indeed working on technology to make their ships “invisible” to German-made electromagnetic weapons.

However, even if the Navy did have the technology that could make their ships invisible to the naked eye, it would be understandable that they would deny it.

  1. SHIP’S RECORDS

The USS Eldridge naval logs tell a much different story than that of the alleged accounts. According to the logs, the ship was neither in Philadelphia nor in Norfolk at any time in October 1943.

The logs state that the ship was in fact in Bermuda for the first half of the month, after which it sailed for three days toward New York, where it stayed for the remainder of October.

Conspiracy theorists will immediately tell you that any ship log can be easily manipulated and faked by simply writing different information. And the fact that nobody can view a ship that is invisible to prove its actual movement, it doesn’t really need to keep track of its movement.

  1. THE FATE OF THE ELDRIDGE

The fate of the USS Eldridge was relatively short-lived. According to official records, the ship was sent to Greece in 1951, where it was renamed to HS Leon. There, it was engaged in various Cold War missions, after which it was decommissioned and eventually sold off as scrap.

The ship was in service for 50 years since its official launch and although it doesn’t exist any longer, it will always remain shrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories.

  1. THE 1999 REUNION

In 1999, there was a special reunion of the USS Eldridge former crew members, 15 of whom attended. The reunion was filled with jokes and laughs about the stories that surround the Philadelphia Experiment, with the ex-crew members denying to have ever taken part in any secret projects during their time on the Eldridge.

The feelings of the crew members regarding the theories are mixed, with some feeling genuine annoyance and others being genuinely amused by the stories. One sailor even went on fooling people that he had actually disappeared, just until they realized that he was just teasing them.

The fact is that all 15 sailors were puzzled as to why their ship had been a target of such wild theories and stories and some were rather annoyed by the questions they had kept on getting about it.

One sailor said in amusement that he enjoyed the myth that his crew has gone a little crazy.

  1. BEING INVISIBLE

The idea of invisibility has long fascinated humanity. It is present in pop culture, which is littered with heroes like the Invisible Man, the Invisible Woman, Harry Potter and his invisibility cloak, Frodo and the Ring, and the countless illusionists who have managed to trick people into believing that they have vanished into thin air.

However, this idea has also been a thing of focus in the military technology, with the invention of the first stealth jet by Germany in 1944. Rumor has it that the Nazis had been developing other forms of invisibility technology too and that the U.S. was trying to get a hold of it.

Perhaps they did.

  1. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT LIES

The idea that one could make a 9,000 ton, 500 feet long, and a firepower-packed object disappear into thin air seems like a plain figment of imagination that could make a good Sci-Fi movie, a book rich with mysteries, or a funny TV show reference.

However, even if the Government could accomplish such feat, they would be crazy to admit it. But then again, many wild conspiracy theories were proven to be actually very true.

Only as a scratch from the immense surface of these theories can be the fact that they did carry out a syphilis study, in which they denied hundreds from the medicine. The Government also carried out chemical weapons tests on its own citizens, and the CIA did try to train cats to be spies during the Cold War.

So, as much as the Philadelphia Experiment sounds far-fetched, knowing how much the Government has lied and covered up their feats, it wouldn’t be very surprising to learn one day that this too was real.

What Happens When Two Exes Confront Each Other About Cheating?

By
Elizabeth Williams

At the end of a relationship, there is always one person who gets broken hearted. However, sometimes this person is better off without their partner, like in the case of this woman.

The Scene recently confronted two exes in a video that quickly went viral. The woman, who was later identified as Kourtney Jorge, confronted her ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her countless times and wanted to know why he hurt her so much.

There was no dramatic fighting or impulsive reactions of any kind by Kourtney’s side, although many would have definitely done something like that. Instead, Kourtney faced her ex and calmly asked him why he cheated on her.

The boyfriend was also identified once the video went viral. Leonard Long III and Kourtney told their whole love story at the beginning of the video – the way they met and how they became so close in their relationship.

They were best friends. But then, she started reading the messages he was getting from other girls. Once, Kourtney found him with another girl and he asked her to leave. She cried the whole night, but nothing changed.

The most heartbreaking part of the video is the part where Kourtney asks Leonard how many times he has cheated on her. He answered: “I wasn’t counting”. Many people would have reacted dramatically to this, but Kourtney just left the scene to take a moment and calmly returned on the chair.

It is clear that Kourtney was really hurt, and still is. While she listened to him with tears in her eyes, Leonard looked mostly unaffected, although he admitted that it was his fault and put the blame to his commitment issues he had back then.

The internet reacted and many Twitter users expressed their feelings about Leonard, showing their support for Kourtney. Some of them decided to dig deeper into the story and to find Kourtney. Now we know that she is in a happy relationship with someone who treats her right, as she herself posted.

After the confrontation of Kourtney and Leonard, The Scene posted other videos of exes facing each other and shared their stories in a series called Heartbroken.
