 Humans create cities to separate us from Earth's natural environment. You have to wonder just when and how we came up with this concept of the utopia. Think about this. If we had evolved here with the other animals, then why are we not adapting to our surroundings? The fact of the matter is that we aren't adapting, instead we are changing the world. Everything about the presence of human beings on this planet screams that we are in distress. As a result of our distress, we are affecting our surroundings as we try to work out just what it is we are doing here. Animals fear us. Why is that? Of course, we assume it is because of our predatory instinct and the fact that we hunted these animals for food that has made certain species afraid of us. But doesn't it also suggest that the Earth's animals are afraid of us because they are not used to us being here? Humanity is no doubt evolving on the Earth, but not through physicality. Our minds are evolving as our awareness of our surroundings is growing and as a collective species we are leaning towards collective awareness. This could still be thousands of years away, but there are signs that we are breaking free from limited thought progression and beginning to use our intuition. This could lead to higher use of our brains which could possibly evoke psychic abilities that the greatest thinkers of our kind have seemingly managed to develop. Researchers like Srinivasa Ramanujan who clearly states that he visited a separate realm of reality to gain his overwhelming understanding of the mathematics. In the 1800s and early 1900s Ramanujan was shown certain equations that were long considered in the realm of impossible understanding. Not only did this great thinker solve the problem, he improved upon it using highly encoded masks that he was not trained to discover, nor was he educated in such a way that he was understanding what he was doing. What this guy was doing was remembering things that he had seen at the Akashic record and with a desire to crack age old puzzles he was fetching his knowledge during his lucid meditation, a practice it is thought that he stumbled upon. Nowadays a genius is anyone that offers a flash of significant insight into a particular problem with a potential solution. This can also refer to someone with an extreme level of talent or ability, but you should note that every one of us has the mental capacity to be a genius. We are still trying to understand what it is that is preventing this. If you consider that when we go to the Akashic realm we are no longer on the earth. Our physical bodies remain, but we are in effect not present. This means that during sleep and in Ramanujan's case, advanced sleep or astral travel, our consciousness is leaving the earth. When we return to our bodies we are recharged and throughout the course of a day we are worn down again, but during this time we are able to understand things that we can't understand consciously. Most of us store this in our subconscious and never realize it, but in some cases when we remember we can change the course of history as we know it. People like Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla and Steve Jobs are all claimants to have visited this realm during unconsciousness. There are also documented cases when someone is suffering from a head injury and waking up with a new talent or ability that was not present before, and even millions of cases where the patient has seen some sort of light. This is proof that our life within us doesn't die when our bodies die, but rather we go somewhere else altogether. The Akashic record is the universal database of all knowledge and experience that can be accessed at any time by anyone for any reason. This database gets us named from the Sanskrit word meaning sky and is considered to be located in another realm or plane of existence. In order to gain access to its archive one would have to enter a higher state of consciousness and clear the mind of any and all distractions. This archive is available to any and life-form capable of tapping into its resources and its contents can be freely downloaded when required. If you consider that our mind needs to leave our body and indeed the earth to gain these knowledges, then we would have to consider that something on this world is hampering our thinking process. Dimitri Mindelev was a Russian chemist who is generally regarded as the discoverer of the periodic table. Mindelev also commented that his discovery came to him in a dream. In his dream, Mindelev admitted that he saw a table and all the elements just fell into place. Just like Ramanujan, he made notes the instant he woke up as to not forget his remembrance. Now, we've said it before, we are trying to leave the earth for more reasons than they are letting on. To think may in fact be one of those reasons. The final frontier is contested space. Nations across the globe are at work developing tools and techniques to survive a conflict in the heavens should it occur. With the United States appearing to move toward a more formal space force and in light of new anti-satellite missile demonstrations, it's worth examining where exactly other nations stand in terms of counter space capabilities. Consider that rocket technology is not the development of weapons but the development of cost-effective propulsion to take us across the galaxy. Of course, we have a long way to go, but does the earth have the resources available for our journey to the stars? India announced it had successfully demonstrated an anti-satellite missile by destroying one of its own low-orbiting satellites. In the United States, Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan used the test as an opportunity to emphasize the nature of space as a contested domain. But what are the current dynamics of contesting the heavens? The biggest changes to Chinese doctrine and space organization happened a few years ago when they created the Strategic Support Force. The impetus behind this change is terrestrial at heart. Given that the change occurred years ago, it's likely a response to how the United States relied on space assets during the start of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This focus on space in response to US activity is hardly a response unique to China, almost every country in the world now has an interest one way or another, and you have to wonder if these other countries are in fact testing out the effects of space on the human mind. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union's famous satellite Sputnik was launched into orbit and the space age began. Or did it? SD Tucker, author of Space Oddities, explains that while Sputnik may have marked the beginning of humanity's physical exploration of the universe, we had already been exploring it with our minds for thousands of years, probably since our earliest understanding of being present on Earth. During the 1950s, John Bradbury developed a new kind of telescope filled with an amazing 15 lenses. According to Bradbury, the more lenses in your telescope, the better the view of the heavens you would get. Something which would allow him to see the very edge of the universe itself. Which he said was rectangular, made of metal and magnetic. As far afetched that that may seem, it does however appear that we could be trapped. We could be an experiment or we could be in hiding. The Earth could be hidden to preserve all life from whatever forces may be at work to destroy it. We should probably point out however that John Bradbury is not considered a great thinker and during his lunar observations, he claimed to have seen giant finger made of plasticine emerging from the top of the moon. A remarkable sight indeed but one which nobody else was able to confirm because no other astronomers possessed one of his multi-lens telescopes. The reason no one possessed one of these devices was because by filling it up with so many pieces of glass, Bradbury ended up with massively distorted images bearing no resemblance whatsoever to reality. However it is these kind of audacious thoughts that we need along with the free thinkers to think for ourselves outside the box. In his 1950s book The Riddle of the Flying Saucers is another world watching. Gerald Hurd sets out a set of ideas that has long been the subject of science fiction but also pointing out that even our most crazy ideas, however crazy we may perceive them, are ideas born of something we have witnessed. Peculiar is a word that springs to mind when considering the idea that UFOs being sighted all across the globe were piloted, not by aliens as you may have presumed, but by alien super bees from Mars who were watching over us from afar and perhaps even planning an invasion. The author in this case using bees to describe the operator of these vehicles that no doubt have been witnessed by millions. But as of yet nobody has ever clearly viewed these pilots. This is a phenomenon that every country in the world is involved with trying to explain and it's unclear if any explanation has ever been upheld under scrutiny. In the olden days before we had the technology to really know what condition on other nearby planets were like, strange crossovers began to emerge between astronomy and spiritualism with self-styled psychics claiming to have traveled to places such as Mars and Venus using their astral bodies. For example, in 1895 one Colonel Albert de Roja, a Frenchman with a liking for both physical research and hypnotism, was called out to help a family friend given the made-up name Meet Riel who was suffering some ailment. Knowing his skills in hypnotism, Meet Riel hoped he could help alleviate her sufferings. He did, but during one trans-session, Meet Riel claimed to be rising up through outer space which she deemed to be luminous and full of phantoms, one of whom was a dead childhood friend of hers named Victor. Meet Riel spoke of visiting Mars in astral form before one day it seemed as if her body had been suddenly taken over by the spirit of Victor. He was initially puzzled as to why he was wearing women's clothing, but once he had calmed down, Victor explained that following his death, he lived among the planets, a form of existence about which he could give little information beyond the curious detail that all dead people had arms which also functioned as organs of affection. According to Victor, these arms grew larger and larger over time and were often mistaken for angel wings. At the time, this was not believed, but enough of an impression was made so as to record this encounter. Isis is an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with the earlier goddess Hathor, who became the most popular and enduring of all the Egyptian deities. Her name comes from the Egyptian is set, the seat, which referred to her stability and also the throne of Egypt as she was considered the mother of every pharaoh through the king's association with Horos, Isis son. That is all from us for the moment guys. We hope you have found these thoughts provoking and we do of course encourage you to let us know below what you are thinking.
