		<description>Hi Mark,

Intuition has helped me make and save lots of money as a stock market trader and investor. I mention in the book how I pulled all my money out by an intuitive prompting and saved my entire investment before the last stock market crash. J. Paul Getty who was the richest man in the world at one time and founder of Getty oil wrote in his book &quot;How to be Rich&quot; that your wealth is directly proportional to the number of people that you serve. A large hedge fund would fit that description. The key is to learn to use your intuition and not let your ego run the show and loose everyone&#039;s money. Hope you enjoy the rest of the book.</description>

		<description>Hi Light,

Perhaps &quot;they being a higher power could control the people&quot; is the author of this quote&#039;s way of saying that secret societies inspire people to formulate opinions that may or may not be right? I personally find Masonic work intriguing and it does not inspire fear in me. Would be nice to know their secret information without having to join their club though.

Jesse may have had a shot at being Vice President last time round if McCain had teamed up with him. He is probably too controversial now however. His new book &quot;American Conspiracies&quot; is an excellent read but makes him even more controversial than ever before. Perhaps if there was a major shake-up in our political system he could make it but until then he will have to stir the pot outside the political arena.</description>

		<description>Mr. Jaco, 

Could you please comment on this paragraph posted above.

&quot;Free mason’s put the all-seeing eye on the one dollar bill, and formed a society to worship the dollar bill so that they being a higher power could control the people.  Another quick note on mind control: a matrix in geometry is a square or rectangle composed of rows and columns with numbers to keep people entertained while they suffer, how often do we find ourselves in places that fit this description?&quot;

I&#039;m familiar with the Mason mastery of sacred geometry and their work with the higher centers of consciousness.  I am confused as to the reference to &quot;they being a higher power could control the people.&quot;

Thank you, and great work.  

By the way, how do you feel about Jesse Ventura for pres in 2012?

Namaste.</description>

		<description>Good Day Mr. Jaco.  The other day I was trying to find a book that would help me get in tuned with my higher self.  I started on my quest because I believe that every man has the natural ability to achieve the extraordinary.  I was in the Navy for 4 years and I spent 4 more in the Coast Guard. The military has transformed me and has allowed me to experience things I never thought I would.  My military experience has played a large part in my ambitions today.  I am looking to start a hedge fund and I needed some guidance.  I will face many challenges in my endeavor. I found your book very very helpful. I saw your book on amazon and I had it rush to me in one day.  If there is any advice you can give me I would greatly appreciate it.  I&#039;m on chapter 6 now.  I read about 5 chapters yesterday alone.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Hi Beverly, Thanks for your comments and for bringing to my awareness a mis-statement about the pineal gland. Here is some info on the adrenal glands.
The body has two adrenal glands, one near the top of each kidney. The inner part (medulla) of the adrenal glands secretes hormones, such as adrenaline (epinephrine), that help control blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, and other activities also regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal glands are controlled in part by the brain. The hypothalamus, a small area of the brain involved in hormonal regulation, produces corticotropin-releasing hormone and antidiuretic hormone. These two hormones trigger the pituitary gland to secrete corticotropin (also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone or ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids. 
I believe that stress when directed properly can actually bring about altered states of consciousness and I&#039;ve experienced these states throughout my life. I have experienced them while playing sports, martial arts training and during combat. This state in my opinion is triggered by the production of hormones and adrenaline from the adrenals but unfortunately science has not caught up with documenting this aspect of higher states of consciousness yet. For this articles sake we&#039;ll say that when stressed correctly your pineal gland secretes DMT.  
When the pineal gland is stimulated through meditation or Hallucinogens like Peyote, LSD or ayahuasca it secrets (DMT). Hallucinogens have been used by ancient cultures for spiritual development for thousands of years. Historically, hallucinogens have been most commonly used in religious or shamanic rituals. In this context they are referred to as entheogens, and they are used to facilitate healing, divination, communication with spirits, and coming-of-age ceremonies. Evidence exists for the use of entheogens in prehistoric times, as well as in numerous ancient cultures, including the Ancient Egyptian, Mycenaean, Ancient Greek, Vedic, Maya, Inca and Aztec cultures. The Upper Amazon is home to the strongest extant entheogenic tradition; the Urarina of Peruvian Amazonia, for instance, continue to practice an elaborate system of ayahuasca shamanism, coupled with an animistic belief system.
The rise of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) caused a decline of entheogenic use of hallucinogens use in its wake, as the authority of scripture and the priesthood gradually reduced the role granted to direct spiritual experience, especially by the laity or non clergy. Examples of this development include the destruction of the Eleusinian Mysteries, which are now widely assumed to have involved entheogenic rituals, and the Great Witch Hunt of the Early Modern Age, in which practitioners of entheogenic rites in Western Europe were accused of associating with the devil. The Spanish conquistadores associated local entheogenic traditions of South America with heresy and satanism, and uprooted many of them, but nevertheless, some cultures there and elsewhere have kept their traditions alive to this day.
According to Dr. Sérgio Felipe de Oliveira, Master of Science at the University of São Paulo’s medical school and director of the Pineal Mind Clinic, an increase in pineal activity is intimately related with psychic activity such as visions or meditation.
Furthermore, besides the  multiple endogenous functions of the pineal gland (control of the hypothalamus and biological rhythms, and protection from free radicals) it is also responsible for emitting N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), known by some as the “spirit molecule.” The liberation of this molecule is considered to be one of the most powerful hallucinogenic neurotransmitters known to man. It increases during sleep, in certain meditative states, during near-death experiences, as well as with the ingestion of hallucinogenic plants.
I just recently read an excellent fictional book by Graham Hancock called &quot;Entangled&quot; which delves deeply into the use of hallucinogens. 
Skeptics question the validity of these supposed episodes of heightened awareness into other dimensional planes, preferring instead to believe such experiences to be merely chemically induced phenomena limited to the brain. But they have trouble offering a reasonable explanation for the relationship of the liberation of DMT (and the consequent formation of images in the pineal) with near-death experiences.
Such is recognized by Dr. Rick Strassman, who has conducted exhaustive studies of the effects of DMT in humans. Research of this kind begins to approach the pineal gland as more than a vestigial eye relegated to producing hormones, but as an inborn window into other planes of existence.
This view of the pineal gland is not new. It represents the sixth chakra of ajna spoken of in the Vedic tradition, the window of Brahma as it is known in Hinduism, the Celestial Eye as the ancient Chinese call it, the Niwan Palace as it is known by Taoists, or the “Seat of the Soul” according to Descartes. Could this tiny cone hidden at the center of the brain embody the potential to peer into realms that science is simply unable to grasp?
Hope this answers your question Beverly. Thanks for posting.</description>

		<description>Hi - &quot;Stumbled&quot; onto your website today : )  One question about this article ... The adrenal glands are located above your kidneys.  It states here that &quot;when stressed, the adrenal presses down on the pineal&quot; - perhaps I am just not understanding the content properly but would love to know!  Thanks - I&#039;m SO fascinated!</description>

		<description>This is what a second grader had to tell her friends about the Intuitive Warrior. This is a post from my face book.


Lisa ~ Hey Tracy, or is that &quot;Hot Mama&quot;? Nice pic! Interesting story for you... Riley had friends over last week. Out of the blue she brought out The Intuitive Warrior to show her 6 and 9 year old playmates and then proceeded to explain what intuitive means -- &quot;kind of like listening with your heart.&quot; I was eavesdropping from the other room.
