HOW IMPORTANT ARE OUR POLITICS, OUR RELIGION, OUR MONEY and OUR BODIES WHEN WE SEE THEM FROM 200 MILES ABOVE EARTH?

RED RISING REVIEW
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
“The Red Rising Trilogy is an epic Macho Cinderella Story. The story and characters are eloquently sculpted from well-weathered egalitarian clichés of Star-Wars-Hunger-Game-Of-Thrones post-apocalyptic-peasant-revolts set in a high-tech ultra-hierarchal-Greco-Roman-space-opera-society. Brilliant prose, plot twists and legions of antagonists are collectively dedicated to dystopian gore, guts and glory of gold-obsessed class-based blood feuds wherein the purposelessness of human life is to learn to love pain and power.
Predictably, The “Golden Couple” get married and live happily ever after, as most human fantasy stories aspire… getting married, having babies, living in a castle, served and lauded by the peasants is a “happy ending”.
The unwritten story, as usual, is that humans all die, inevitably, with nostalgic finality to seek their reward in “The Veil”.
This trilogy is perfect Hollywood film fodder for servants of money-motivated vested interests of the planetary power elite. The subservient classes: Red, Pinks, Browns etc., will spend their minimum wages in theaters by the shovel full to wallow in the “beautiful dramatic pain” of egalitarian dreams crushed in the subterranean mines of Mars.
Sadly, the genius of Pierce Brown as a masterful wordsmith and epic storyteller is wasted on repeating the same worn out “Hero Epic” story line recycled ad nausea since the days of Homer. Humans live in painful servitude until they die to be rewarded in the “afterlife”. All in a blink of the eye for the soulless of “gods” who worship power and gold.
Where have all the Immortals gone? Buried in the gory-damn dust of impossible dreams.

75 BILLION DEAD
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
75 BILLION HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LIVED ON EARTH IN RECORDED HISTORY. WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
However, if you are reincarnated (take up a new body) every 40 years, or so, on the average, how many lifetimes might you have lived on Earth? According to the Top Secret Military transcripts published in the book ALIEN INTERVIEW, large numbers of Immortal Spiritual Beings (IS-BEs) were delivered to Earth beginning about 12,000 years ago, and continuously since that time. Assuming that you were one of the original “prisoners” sentenced to live on Earth, may could have already lived as many of 300 lifetimes on Earth! (more or less, depending on when you arrived, how long each body lived, how frequently you got a new body, etc.).
Halloween (All Halloweds Day) is an observance and celebration of The Spirit of Our Ancestors. Well, what if WE ARE our ancestors? According to the principle of Reincarnation we are really honoring ourselves, and all of the other Immortal Spiritual Beings who have inhabited, and continue to inhabit and re-inhabit bodies on Earth. And, let’s not forget the multitude of Spiritual Beings who inhabit all Life Forms on Earth — whales, porpoises, elephants, wolves and horses, for example. The Spirits, who manifest themselves as Ghosts, Poltergeists, Demons, Apparitions, Angels, Gods, and Disembodied Souls may very well be our Brothers and Our Sisters.
Honor the dead with the reverence and dignity they deserve.

The Dhammapada (Pāli; Prakrit: धम्मपद Dhamapada; Sanskrit: धर्मपद Dharmapada) is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the Dhammapada is in the Khuddaka Nikaya, a division of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism.
MILAREPA

Jetsun Milarepa (c. 1052 – c. 1135 CE) is generally considered one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and poets.
Milarepa is famous for many of his songs and poems, in which he expresses the profundity of his realization of the dharma. Through the illustration of his own life, Milarepa set for all Buddhists an example of the perfect Bodhisattva, and a model of the incorruptible life of a genuine practitioner of Buddhist Tantrism. His life is an unmistakable testimony to the unity an interdependency of all Buddhist teachings – Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana – for Buddhahood is not attainable if any of the three is lacking. He made it clear to all that poverty is not a kind of deprivation, but rather is a necessary way of emancipating oneself from the tyranny of material possessions; that Tantric practice by no means implies indulgence and laxity, but hard labor, strict discipline, and steadfast perseverance; that without resolute renunciation and uncompromising discipline, as Gautama Buddha Himself stressed, all the sublime ideas and dazzling images depicted in Mahayana and Tantric Buddhism are no better that magnificent illusions.
