FOOD CHAIN
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Humans are the most vicious predators and murderers of life forms in the history of Earth. The “food chain” is a poor excuse to justify the premeditated slaughter of other sentient beings. What is your opinion of another life form that will kill and eat your dead body? Criminal? Cannibal? Carnivore?
The fact is that you really don’t need to eat dead animal bodies to live. The largest, longest-lived and strongest animals on Earth are all vegetarians.

A LETTER FROM MR. HOLMES TO H.P. LOVECRAFT
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
[image error]“It is my observation that immortality is a state of spiritual existence that is native to all beings, regardless of whether or not that being currently inhabits a body. A body is a only a temporary vehicle through which spirits may tour the physical universe and enjoy the sensations and adventures provided therein. Factually, the spirit enters into a body, animates the body, and departs from the body when it becomes injured, diseased or spent.
Most beings will forget about that body when it is gone, and will also forget the identity and activities of that body – out of sight, out of mind. However, I have discovered that many persons do not lose awareness of themselves between the lives of bodies they have inhabited. Through mental discipline one may overcome the common affliction of Western men to deny and forget the spiritual essence of themselves.
This forgetfulness is a disease of the soul created and maintained by stupid brutes who are compelled to dominate and control their fellow beings. They have long since lost themselves, and seek only to ensure that their disability is inflicted upon everyone. Their greatest fear is that another being may inflict pain upon them, just as they desire to inflict pain upon others.
Immortality is not sustained by a desire for revenge against the real or imagined wrongs which have been, or may be, caused by others. Immortality is realized through loving oneself and loving others as you love yourself. The possession of a body is not a factor in love or immortality.
I have learned that certain Eastern sages, and their devote disciples, have learned methods of mental and spiritual discipline that enable them to identify themselves spiritually, and maintain a constant awareness of that identity from the lifetime of one body to the next and to the next, ad infinitum. Ultimately, one may choose to inhabit a body, or not, at will.
Existence as a disembodied spiritual being is sometimes observed and acknowledged by people. They are called ghosts, or angels, or demons, or saints or poltergeists, or gods – depending upon the disposition and behavior of these spirits toward men.
Therefore, the necessity of maintaining the health or longevity of a physical body is not only an aberration of the concept of immortality, it is entirely unnecessary! Moreover, this chemical trick obviates the existence of the immortal spiritual entity. Personal spiritual immortality is self-evident.
However, the inability or unwillingness of Western priests – in a sanctuary or in a laboratory – to observe, explore and employ the potential ability of the individual spirit is nothing less than a denial of Creation itself. The animating intelligence of the universe, whether it is manifested as the life force of an amoeba or the as the raging storms of Zeus, is the primal force of all creation, volition and existence.
Let us not waste any further time or energy in the study of religion or alchemy. These are only small attempts to control manifestations of the immortal spirit. Individually we are each a spirit. Collectively, we coexist in several universes, both physical and ethereal. Universally, we share a common source. In every aspect and manifestation the spirit has always been and forever shall be. Eternity is not subject to time, past, present or future: it is no time. Likewise, the spirit is a no thing, which creates and animates all things.
Thank you very much for your confidences in consulting with me upon the subject of the letter from “Count Antoine”. I am pleased to be at your service, if indeed you discover anything of value in this reply to you.
If you have an occasion to visit England I would be delighted to entertain you as a guest at my modest lodgings near Eastbourne. The country in this region is quite pleasant, except in winter, and there are several lovely beaches upon which one may enjoy the nearby ocean.
To the end, and in new beginnings, I shall remain yours faithfully,
Sherlock Sherrinford Holmes, Sussex Downs, England“

DIGITAL IMPRISONMENT

The following article which affirms, in part, what was revealed in the book ALIEN INTERVIEW in 2008. That is, that Earth is a prison planet established by the former intergalactic government called the “Old Empire”. Being on Earth are hypnotically controlled after their memory has been erased using an elaborate force field which enforces controlled behavior of human being designed to keep humanity in a perpetual state of chaos and imprisonment on Earth. The Alien Interview transcripts answer the questions posed by Dr. Bostrom. For details, read the book. 
___________________________
THE ARTICLE:
“British philosopher Nick Bostrom says he believes that the reality we perceive around us may be the product of a highly-advanced computer program, much like the plot of the Matrix movies – and surprisingly NASA have said they agree with him. Dr Bostrom proposed in a paper he wrote that an evolved race of aliens have imprisoned the human-race in what he refers to as a “digital imprisonment”.
These aliens, or super-humans, are using virtual reality to simulate space and time, according to Bostrom. NASA scientist Rich Terrile, director of the Centre for Evolutionary Computation and Automated Design at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, thinks Dr Bostrom may be onto something.
Speaking to Vice the NASA scientist said, “Right now the fastest NASA supercomputers are cranking away at about double the speed of the human brain …If you make a simple calculation using Moore’s Law [which roughly claims computers double in power every two years], you’ll find that these supercomputers, inside of a decade, will have the ability to compute an entire human lifetime of 80 years – including every thought ever conceived during that lifetime – in the span of a month.”
Express.co.uk reports:
“In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a definite state unless they’re being observed.
“Many theorists have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how you explain this.
“One explanation is that we’re living within a simulation, seeing what we need to see when we need to see it.
“What I find inspiring is that, even if we are in a simulation or many orders of magnitude down in levels of simulation, somewhere along the line something escaped the primordial ooze to become us and to result in simulations that made us – and that’s cool.”
The idea that our Universe is a fiction generated by computer code solves a number of inconsistencies and mysteries about the cosmos.
The first is the Fermi Paradox – proposed by physicist Enrico Fermi during the 1960s – which highlights the contradiction between the apparent high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations within our ever-expanding universe and humanity’s lack of contact with, or lack of evidence for, these alien colonies.
“Where is everybody?” Mr Fermi asked.”

WHO’S TOUGHER THAN A TARDIGRADE?
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Imagine if these creatures were 6 feet tall….
Tardigrade, kleiner Wasserbär, meaning ‘little water bear’ in German. The name Tardigrada means “slow walker” and was given by Lazzaro Spallanzani in 1777. The name water bear comes from the way they walk, reminiscent of a bear’s gait. The biggest adults may reach a body length of 1.5 millimetres (0.059 in), the smallest below 0.1 mm. Freshly hatched tardigrades may be smaller than 0.05 mm.
About 1,150 species of tardigrades have been described.Tardigrades occur throughout the world, from the Himalayas(above 6,000 metres (20,000 ft)), to the deep sea (below 4,000 metres (13,000 ft)) and from the polar regions to the equator.
The most convenient place to find tardigrades is on lichens and mosses. Other environments are dunes, beaches, soil, and marine or freshwater sediments, where they may occur quite frequently (up to 25,000 animals per liter). Tardigrades often can be found by soaking a piece of moss in spring water.
Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of close to absolute zero, or 0 Kelvin (−273 °C (−459 °F)), temperatures as high as 151 °C (304 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals, and almost a decade without water. Since 2007, tardigrades have also returned alive from studies in which they have been exposed to the vacuum of space for a few days in low Earth orbit. Tardigrades are the first known animal to survive in space.
Tardigrades (commonly known as waterbears or moss piglets) are small, water-dwelling, segmented animals with eight legs. It is an ancient group, with fossils dating from 530 million years ago, in the Cambrian period. They are notable for being one of the most complex of all known polyextremophiles. (An extremophile is an organism that can thrive in a physically or geochemically extreme condition that would be detrimental to most life on Earth.)
Tardigrades can withstand temperatures from just above absolute zero to well above the boiling point of water. They can survive pressures greater than any found in the deepest ocean trenches and have lived through the vacuum of outer space. They can survive solar radiation, gamma radiation, ionic radiation— at doses hundreds of times higher than would kill a person. They can go without food or water for nearly 10 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce.
Usually, Tardigrades are 1 millimetre (0.039 in) long when they are fully grown. They are short and plump with 4 pairs of legs, each with 4-8 claws also known as “disks.” The animals are prevalent in moss and lichen and, when collected, may be viewed under a very low-power microscope, making them accessible to the student or amateur scientist as well as the professional.
