Renew Yourself Naturally May 23, 2008
There is omniscience inside of us with the ability to balance and harmonize the discord that causes "dis-ease." Whether ailing physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, we are energetically empowered to orchestrate our own well-being. By tapping into the brilliant intelligence of cellular memory through a tool called "muscle testing" or "Kinesiology," an access window to the body and mind opens, uncluttered by conscious thought.

The McCanns' debate: from banality to an outpouring of bile Feb 1, 2008
" It is the last sentence in his/her summary of this case which is so revealing. The words "At the very least" tell their own story.. He/she believes that because the McCanns left their children alone there is a likelihood they were involved in something more sinister. The facts are that yes the McCanns did leave their children alone while they dined out with friends. They have admitted that they will question that decision for the rest of their lives. As pointed out by another poster THEY are... (Media Guardian)
A life of their own Jan 26, 2008
The novelist adopts God-like powers of omniscience, but what can she really know of her creations. To argue that we can know Jean Brodie just as deeply as we can know George Eliot's Dorothea Brooke in Middlemarch, to argue that lacunae are as deep as solidities, that absence in characterisation can be a form of knowing as profound as presence, that Spark's and Saramago's and Nabokov's characters can move us as much as James's and Eliot's, is to concede nothing to Gass's scepticism.

Principal writer Drew Karpyshyn explained that the game includes movie sequences that the protagonist does not participate in, but that the game player witnesses: "It [a sequence like this] plays its part and has its impact, and then lets the players resume their game."

Pioneers in bad behavior Apr 14, 2007
Partly because of omniscience, and mostly because they hadn t a choice. Long before Pacman Jones began spending more time in courtrooms than locker rooms and Chris Henry s four arrests in three different states within months and 50-something other NFL players unofficially auditioning for Cops during the past two years, there were all of those knuckleheads on the Falcons.

Trying to touch the sky Feb 27, 2007
I really screwed up, believing my own omniscience, thinking I could do know wrong. That painful lesson still lingers, but it hasn't stopped Thalheimer, 49, from rolling the dice a few more times in a career that has included a stint as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital, more than a decade in San Diego city government, a flight-training business and a run for political office.

Media focuses too much on politics - MPs Nov 24, 2006
He expressed worry that a couple of journalists and serial callers have assumed omniscience, commenting on any and every subject from armed forces strategic plans through cardiovascular operation to confidential cabinet minutes. Mr Aryeh called for a stop to the case where professional radio discussants and journalists play on the illiteracy and ignorance of a sizeable number of the population with nation wrecking-headlines.

"And you have to demonstrate that omniscience a few times. Somebody visits a porn site, and you walk in and say, 'Do you really want to visit those sites from work?' Somebody else downloads something to a thumb drive, and you ask them where the thumb drive is. Let these stories spread through the system.".
