North Korea update; one can find many forgotten treasures and can purify life

5-24-17     As North Korea fires more missiles in its drive to build and test rockets to reach the US mainland, one issue largely overlooked is that satellites are among methods used to guide such weapons to their targets.  Pyongyang doesn’t have a satellite navigation network, raising speculation that if it is using such a guidance system then is it tapping into China’s?

While information on military programs in the North is difficult to verify, reports going back to 2014 show that North Korean engineers were in China for technology training on how the country’s satellite navigation system — known as Beidou or Compass — worked.  Later the same year another news report cited a Chinese military expert as saying China cannot stop North Korea from using Beidou in military operations.  Beside Beidou, the other main satellite navigation options for North Korea are the Global Positioning System of the United States and the Russian system known as Glonass.

“While I would never exclude the possibility of Glonass applications for N Korea’s rocket and missile systems, Beidou looks like a more reasonable solution for N Korea,” said Yu Koizumi, a research fellow at Japan’s Institute for Future Engineering, in an email.     -A model of China’s Beidou satellite navigation system on display in an exhibition in Beijing, China, 7 June 2016.

Russia imposed an embargo on transfers of weapons and military-related technologies to North Korea after its nuclear tests in the 2000s, although it’s unclear if Glonass-related equipment was included, said Koizumi, a specialist in Russia’s security policy.

Launches of Beidou satellites started in 1994 and have resulted in China deploying a system in East Asia and beyond that is akin to the GPS.  Like GPS, Beidou supports two varieties of service: One for civilian and commercial use, and another more robust, supposedly jam-proof, and more precise for military users.  http://www.atimes.com/article/north-korea-using-chinas-satellites-guide-missiles/

12-20-17   North Korea has begun tests to load anthrax onto intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to a report from the Seoul bureau of Japan’s Asahi Shimbun.

No official South Korean or US government sources have yet commented on the story, and experts suggest that missiles are an unlikely delivery system for the deployment of biological weapons.  But in June, the South Korean presidential office ordered the purchase of 500 doses of vaccines against potential anthrax terrorist attacks.  http://www.atimes.com/article/report-claims-north-korea-preparing-anthrax-warheads/

29.  Water cannot extinguish the Fire that will purify the world nor wash away the rivers of blood.  By new scourges will the world be purged of its evil.  I expound happiness.  I shall designate the path for the battle against the bazaar that is the present world.                                                                                                32.  Through joy purify the path.  While you are disciples learn to overcome irritability.  My disciples must have a compassionate eye.  As through a magnifying glass behold the good and belittle tenfold the signs of imperfection, lest you remain as you always were. ...Go, teach, stretch out the hand of aid!                                                                                                                                        266.  Just as when the branches of the tree are hewn down the trunk gains strength, so does the abandoning of habits purify the spirit.  By removing you purify, by courage you assert, by resourcefulness you find.         

(by Schmiechen, 1884)

                                     -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1924

I, vi, 1.  And gathering the flowers of devotion you will understand the usefulness of my path.                                                                                                                                     II, vii, 1.  Tell the new ones that the responsibility for thoughts has to be realized.  Formerly one was responsible for action; later the significance of the word was understood; and now it is time to know the conflagration of thought.      -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925

173.  Therefore there is no way by which one can escape responsibility.  Even the smallest thought enters into the megaphone of space and attracts to itself the same kind of locust, causing the smoky atmosphere of the planet.  Thought can purify by destroying the microbes of disintegration, but it can likewise attract unbridled elements.  Not without reason do the dark ones use especially underdeveloped people for certain machinations.  You often utter the word cult-ur; it means the cult of light.  I remind you of how great is the common responsibility before light if each thought can either obscure or purify space.  Thus let us remember. 

365.  only by the fire of the heart can one defend oneself and purify the channel that carries infection.        -Morya:  Hierarchy 1931

39.  one must not spend time in striving toward the habitual when there are so many possibilities which attract one upward.   

104.  People cannot imagine that ethics is a practical pharmacopoeia for attracting the spatial energies by the simplest method....it's entirely forgotten that living fire is the best purifier....A bonfire, wood, oil lamp, candles will purify space and destroy many contagious diseases.... Whence then come the oil lamps in temples, if not for purification?  Whence then come the ancient customs of surrounding a sick man with fire?  Thus fire is sometimes a physician and guardian; the living fire in the oven often wards off the sicknesses of workers.                                                                                                        142.  All broad thoughts must be displayed in order that scientists, even without knowing the essence of finer energy, may apply their experiments to all the kingdoms of nature.  Thus one can find many forgotten treasures and can purify life.  Special attention must be paid to finer energy as the key to the future.  Many experiments are carried out on a false track.         -M:  Heart 1932
