BEING

A vacuum of emptiness is filled by infinite possibilities.
Illusions. Delusions. Games.
The Decision To Be. A New Beginning. Eternal, Timeless, Now.
Nothing changes. Nothing is the same. There is only Being.

HUMAN BEING

BEAUTIFUL SADNESS

"IN DREAMS"

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room every night just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper, "Go to sleep. Everything is alright."

I close my eyes, Then I drift away...into the magic night.

I softly say a silent prayer, like dreamers do.

Then I fall asleep to dream... my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you.

In dreams I talk to you.

In dreams you're mine.

All of the time we're together... In dreams... In dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.

I can't help it... I can't help it if I cry.

I remember that you said "goodbye".

It's too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams...

Only in dreams... in beautiful dreams."

EVIL BEINGS CAUSE CHAOS.

SHERLOCK HOLMES ON THOMAS PAINE

"I read the most excellent treatise and critique of that superstitious body of mythology written by the American revolutionary, Thomas Paine. Although Mr. Paine is not a popular fellow in Britain, having fathered the uprising against King George which resulted in the loss of the greatest possession ever claimed by the throne of England, he is nonetheless a man of preeminent intellect and prodigious reasoning ability.

His book, The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and *Fabulous Theology, to my own system of logical assessment and evaluation represents the most thorough, factual and incontrovertible dissection of the Bible, which unfortunately serves our civilization as a guideline for survival.  After having read his preeminent work of logical vivisection upon the content of the Bible, and by abstraction, a commentary upon the paradigm of Western Civilization, it is no longer a mystery to me that humanity has endured so great an extent of war, misery, chaos, greed, destruction and mayhem inflicted by Western imperialism upon the Earth at the behest of, and with regal and religious blessings.

As for my personal observation and conviction concerning the matter of religion, I concur with the statement most ably stated by  Thomas Paine himself:

“I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavouring to make our fellow-creatures happy.   I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.

All nati onal institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.   I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.”

HANDS OF SILVER

Since the 60s I have been enchanted by Manitas de Plata (Fingers of Silver).  He is the finest, most authentic Gypsy Flamenco guitar player who ever lived.  He was the progenitor of  The Gypsy Kings, together with the singer who performed with him most of his life, Jose Reyes.  This is a full-length (remastered) concert by Manitas de Plata, with Jose Reyes (and others) from 1975.  The first solo performance by Manitas de Plata in this concert begins at 10:00.  It is "Por el Camino de Ronda".

ASK THE SMARTEST MAN

RESEARCH PROVES HUMANS ARE LESS INTELLIGENT THAN DOLPHINS (and mice)

In the opinion of "self-aggrandizing" humans, Dolphins are considered the "second" most intelligent species on Earth.  (Definition: self-aggrandizing n. The act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one's own importance, power, or reputation.)

What is the definition of "intelligent"?  Intelligence = the ability to perceive and apply optimum solutions for the problems of existence in the Eternal Now.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "series" written by Douglas Adams.  This book demonstrates clearly that Dolphins are the MOST intelligent species of animal on Earth, followed by mice and humans.  If you haven't read this book, you will not understand why you are not as intelligent as a Dolphin or mouse.

The definition of "human intelligence" is obviously an oxymoron,  like "blind as a bat".  Factually, bats and Dolphins -- and many other life-forms have have super-human sensory perception!   Humans consider themselves to be intelligent, yet they carefully and mindlessly overlook an extraordinary number of FACTS that demonstrate STUPENDOUS STUPIDITY in their own behavior.

Here is a very short list of factors that demonstrate clearly that human beings are NOT the most intelligent, but actually the LEAST intelligent species of Earth:

Humans kill other human beings routinely in enormous numbers in a psychopathic frenzy called "war".
Humans have created enough nuclear bombs to kill every living organism on Earth (including themselves) 1,000 time over.
Humans routinely destroy the habitat and kill every last living member of an entire species of life form.  If current rates of human destruction of the biosphere continue, one-half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years!  (Click link to read article on EXTINCTION in Wikipedia.org)

Obviously, Dolphins and mice do not exhibit any of these HIGHLY UNINTELLIGENT behaviors.  They are obviously MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT than humans.   READ THIS ARTICLE ABOUT DOLPHIN INTELLIGENCE from The Guardian

ARTICLE:  "Scientists say dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'"   Jonathan Leake, Published: 3 January 2010 in THE SUNDAY TIMES

Dolphins have been declared the world's second most intelligent creatures after humans, with scientists suggesting they are so bright that they should be treated as "non-human persons".  Studies into dolphin behavior have highlighted how similar their communications are to those of humans and that they are brighter than chimpanzees. These have been backed up by anatomical research showing that dolphin brains have many key features associated with high intelligence.

The researchers argue that their work shows it is morally unacceptable to keep such intelligent animals in amusement parks or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die in this way each year.

FEELING ELEPHANTS

"I took an elective course just for the (bleep) of it.  It was called Intimate Interpretations of Einstein's Unified Field Theory.  The instructor was a former room-mate of Al Einstein from when Al worked in the patent office in Switzerland from 1902 to 1909.  His name was Professor Hans Schlongholder.  This is how he explained Einstein's theory to our class in his cheesy, Swiss accent:

"The universe, or any other relative reality, is like a group of people, each of whom is blindfolded.  Each person is feeling a different part of an elephant.  Each person describes the part of the elephant he feels. Al's theory says that if everyone compares what they feel and they all agree on a collective feeling of the elephant, then they will all have an accurate picture of the whole elephant. 

However,  Al was never really quite sure that the picture of the elephant we were getting was of the hole, or the trunk.  It all depends on which end of the elephant one is feeling and how fast he is traveling while feeling it, relative to the speed of the elephant itself and how the elephant feels about being felt at the time".

Transcendentally speaking, in order to understand any universe one must look at the word itself: UNIVERSE.  Basically, it's made up of two separate words,  "univ" and "erse."  Does anyone understand what these words really mean? No.  So, is it any mystery why the mysteries of the universe have never been solved?"  -- Excerpt from THE BIG BLEEP by Lawrence R. Spencer

___________________________________________

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."
