HANG OUT WITH DEAD CELEBRITIES
“Have you ever been at a party and someone asked you, by way of pretending to be conversational, “If you could spend a year on a desert island with 5 people from history, who would you chose?”
Now you can spend the rest of eternity with some of famous celebrities – if you can find any.
When you’re dead, how do you communicate with other spirits? This is a good question. This is also a question that you must answer before you will be able to find celebrities to hang out with.
There are many, many variables involved here: some celebrities you might like to hang out with may have returned to Earth long ago.
Maybe they already lived 17 more lives as other identities since having lived as the celebrity you are familiar with. During those lifetimes they may not have become famous.
What if you met Napoleon, but you don’t speak French?
What if the celebrity forgot that they were a celebrity in a previous life and changed careers? Like Elvis. What if he went back to Earth and became a used car salesman in Iowa or a truck driver in Bangladesh?
One of the most famous people in history was Sir Isaac Newton. What if Isaac spent his next 4 lives as a horse? Or, what if he’s still hanging around the tomb where his body is buried at Westminster Abbey?
Newton’s monument can be seen in Westminster Abbey. It was executed in white and grey marble. The monument features a figure of Newton reclining on top of a sarcophagus, his right elbow resting on several of his great books and his left hand pointing to a scroll with a mathematical design.
Above him is a pyramid and a celestial globe showing the signs of the Zodiac and the path of the comet of 1680. The Latin inscription on the base translates as:
“Here is buried Isaac Newton, Knight, who by a strength of mind almost divine, and mathematical principles peculiarly his own, explored the course and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, the tides of the sea, the dissimilarities in rays of light, and, what no other scholar has previously imagined, the properties of the colors thus produced. Diligent, sagacious and faithful, in his expositions of nature, antiquity and the holy Scriptures, he vindicated by his philosophy the majesty of God mighty and good, and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel in his manners. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race! He was born on 25 December 1642, and died on 20 March 1727.”
If someone built a monument for you and said all those nice things about you on your gravestone?
Perhaps he was tempted to hang around there and bask in the glory of his own mythology!
Or, since he was such a smart guy, maybe he figured out how to break the cycle of birth, death and rebirth and went somewhere “over the rainbow” where he could enjoy a more pleasant existence.”

___________________________________________
An excerpt from the book ALIEN INTERVIEW, Edited and published by Lawrence R. Spencer:
“Each IS-BE* is told that they have a special purpose for being on Earth. But, of course there is no purpose for being in a prison — at least not for the prisoner.
Any undesirable IS-BEs who are sentenced to Earth were classified as “untouchable” by the “Old Empire” * . This included anyone that the “Old Empire” judged to be criminals who are too vicious to be reformed or subdued, as well as other criminals such as sexual perverts, or beings unwilling to do any productive work.
An “untouchable” classification of IS-BEs also includes a wide variety of “political prisoners”. This includes IS-BEs who are considered to be noncompliant “free thinkers” or “revolutionaries” who make trouble for the governments of the various planets of the “Old Empire”. Of course, anyone with a previous military record against the “Old Empire” is also shipped off to Earth.
A list of “untouchables” include artists, painters, singers, musicians, writers, actors, and performers of every kind. For this reason Earth has more artists per capita than any other planet in the “Old Empire”.
“Untouchables” also include intellectuals, inventors and geniuses in almost every field. Since everything the “Old Empire” considers valuable has long since been invented or created over the last few trillion years, they have no further use for such beings. This includes skilled managers also, which are not needed in a society of obedient, robotic citizens.
Anyone who is not willing or able to submit to mindless economic, political and religious servitude as a tax-paying worker in the class system of the “Old Empire” are “untouchable” and sentenced to receive memory wipe-out and permanent imprisonment on Earth.
The net result is that an IS-BE is unable to escape because they can’t remember who they are, where they came from, where they are. They have been hypnotized to think they are someone, something, sometime, and somewhere other than where they really are.”
* Is-Be (DEFINITION): “the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of “is”, and the only reason for their existence is that they decide to “be”.”
* “Old Empire” (DEFINITION): “”Old Empire” (this is not the official name, but a nick-name given to the conquered civilization…) that served as the seat of central government for this galaxy, and other adjoining regions of space.”

IMAGINE REALITY
Red and blue are perceptions of an electromagnetic spectrum limited by the preprogrammed reality of a human body. Spiritual beings can perceive whatever they can imagine, with or without a body.

THE TAO
~ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of myriad things
Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its essence
Constantly with desire, one observes its manifestations
These two emerge together but differ in name
The unity is said to be the mystery
Mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders ~

Laozi, author of a small book titled “Tao Te Ching” (literally, “The Way”), lived during the 6th or 5th century BCE. His surname was Li and his personal name was Er or Dan. He was an official in the imperial archives and wrote a book in two parts before departing to the west. In another, Laozi was a different contemporary of Confucius titled Lao Laizi (老莱子) and wrote a book in 15 parts. In a third, he was the court astrologer Lao Dan who lived during the 4th-century BCE reign of Duke Xian of Qin.[20][21] The oldest text of the Tao Te Ching so far recovered was written on bamboo slips and dates to the late 4th century BCE.
According to traditional accounts, Laozi was a scholar who worked as the Keeper of the Archives for the royal court of Zhou. This reportedly allowed him broad access to the works of the Yellow Emperor and other classics of the time. The stories assert that Laozi never opened a formal school but nonetheless attracted a large number of students and loyal disciples. (Wikipedia)

HOW TOTALITARIANS CONTROL YOUR MIND
“Let me repeat what I said at the very beginning of this book. The modern techniques of brainwashing and menticide those perversions of psychology can bring almost any man into submission and surrender. Many of the victims of thought control, brainwashing, and menticide* that we have talked about were strong men whose minds and wills were broken and degraded. But although the totalitarians use their knowledge of the mind for vicious and unscrupulous purposes, our democratic society can and must use its knowledge to help man to grow, to guard his freedom, and to understand himself.” — Joost A.M. Meerloo, MD, from the final page of the book “RAPE OF THE MIND“.
(*menticide = definition: noun, “The destruction or undermining of a person’s mental independence in order to alter his or her beliefs” ) .”

SINCE 1933, when a completely drugged and trial-conditioned human wreck confessed to having started the Reichstag fire in Berlin, Dr. Joost A. M. Meerloo has studied the methods by which systematic mental pressure brings people to abject submission, and by which totalitarians imprint their subjective “truth” on their victims’ minds. The first two and one-half years of World War II, Dr. Meerloo spent under the pressure of Nazi-occupied Holland, witnessing at firsthand the Nazi methods of mental torture .on more than one occasion. During this time he was able to use his psychiatric and psychoanalytic knowledge to treat some of the victims. Then, after personal experiences with enforced interrogation, he escaped from a Nazi 
prison and certain death to England, where he was able, as Chief of the Psychological Department of the Netherlands Forces, to observe and study coercive methods officially. In this capacity he had to investigate not only traitors and collaborators, but also those members of the Resistance who had gone through the utmost of mental pressure. Later, as High Commissioner for Welfare, he came in closer contact with those who had gone through physical and mental torture. After the war, he came to the United States, where his war experiences would not permit him to concentrate solely on his psychiatric practice, but compelled him to go beyond purely medical aspects to the social aspects of the problem. As more and more cases of thought control, brainwashing, and mental coercion were disclosed – Cardinal Mindszenty, Colonel Schwable, Robert Vogeler, and others – his interest grew. It was Dr. Meerloo who coined the word menticide, the killing of the spirit, for this peculiar crime. His knowledge of these totalitarian procedures has been officially acknowledged; he served as an expert witness in the case of Colonel Schwable, the Marine Corps officer who, after months of subjection to physical and mental torture following his capture in Korea, was made to confess to having taken part in germ warfare. It is Dr. Meerloo’s position that through pressure on the weak points in men’s makeup, totalitarian methods can turn anyone into a “traitor.” And in The Rape of the Mind he goes far beyond the direct military implications of mental torture to describing how our own culture unobtrusively shows symptoms of pressurizing people’s minds. He presents a systematic analysis of the methods of brainwashing and mental torture and coercion, and shows how totalitarian strategy, with its use of mass psychology, leads to systematized “rape of the mind.” He describes the new age of cold war with its mental terror, verbocracy, and semantic fog, the use of fear as a tool of mass submission and the problem of treason and loyalty, so loaded with dangerous confusion. The Rape of the Mind is written for the interested layman, not only for experts and scientists. Contents: Part One: The Techniques of Individual Submission. 1. You Too Would Confess. 2.

FRACTAL DREAM
More 3D fractal art on my DeviantArt page: http://bib993.deviantart.com/
Fractal animation made with Mandelbulb3D. Soundtrack by Ricardo Montalban.
I originally designed it for Bryan Alvarez from UC Berkeley, for a TEDx talk about his Human Atlas project, to illustrate his initial dream about the beauty of living systems. This one is an enhanced version. This is a hybrid Julia fractal where many parameters are being animated: the fractal paramaters themselves, the Julia seed, the colors, and of course the camera position. For more details about 3D fractals and to download the Mandelbulb3D software, visit fractalforums.com.
Re-uploaded after I have deleted it by mistake!
