THOUGHTS FLY FASTER THAN LIGHT

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
~ Nikola Tesla ~
“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”
– R.C. Henry, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University , “The Mental Universe” ; Nature 436:29,2005) (source)
THE SOLUTION TO IMMORTALITY

(Painting: Allegoria della vita umana – Guido Cafnacci – 1601)
“When you choose to Be Nothing you regain control of Existence. Your Power, your Ability, your Wisdom, your Freedom and your Immortality are yours to relinquish or embrace. Do you desire Immortality? Do you desire to break the cycle of birth, life, pain, death, rebirth and endless, unwinnable games in the physical universe?
You must decide to Be Nothing. Be responsible for your own Boredom. Create Your Own Universe. Disagree with Agreement. Admire Your Self. Create and find Joy in your games, your dreams, your illusions. Can you hover over a mountaintop for ten thousand years? Can you pretend, like a child, that your best friend is a ghost? Can your best friend be You?
The solution to Mortality is Being You: The Immortal Creator.”
— Excerpt from the new book by Lawrence R. Spencer: MORTALITY MECHANICS’ MANUAL (Soon to be released as an Audiobook on Audible.com)

AGREE

Whenever people AGREE with me I feel like I must be WRONG! The physical universe teaches us the “lesson” that we MUST AGREE in order to survive. On planet Earth you are taught that you are a body. You are taught that “only the “gods” can create a universe. Only the priests can communicate with the gods. You are small, weak and mortal. You will die!”
Basically we are taught to agree with the laws of the physical universe — a universe that YOU did not create. However, when we AGREE we contribute to the lies that build and maintain the physical universe. Almost everything we’ve been taught is a lie. You are an Immortal Spiritual Being. You create YOUR universe. You don’t need anyone to agree with you about your universe. It is what you create it to be. You’ve been around forever, and you will continue to be forever. Don’t worry about surviving. You can’t do otherwise. Just be.
When you disagree with the lies of the physical universe you make yourself free!
THE NATIVE PEOPLE

“What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of the buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset.” ~ Crowfoot’s last words

“Edward Curtis’s brief expedition to the Great Plains in the summer of 1900 was undoubtedly the most profound experience of his life. That summer, Curtis accompanied George Bird Grinnell, his friend and early mentor, on a trip to Montana and witnessed one of the last great enactments of the Sun Dance. As Curtis viewed the Sun Dance—a ceremony that few whites, or natives, would see again for nearly seven decades—his vision for the grand photo-ethnographic undertaking that would become his life’s work crystallized. The small body of images he made on that summer trip, among them The Three Chiefs, Piegan Dandy, and Piegan Encampment, clearly reveal that he had been touched by the magnificence of the Indian nations and the overwhelming depth of their culture. These photographs formed the beginning of the vast, elegant portrait of Native American cultures that Curtis would bring to the world over the next thirty years.
During Curtis’s time, the Indians of the Great Plains lived primarily in North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, a territory once traversed by great herds of migrating buffalo. Curtis was strongly attracted to the fiercely independent lifestyle of tribes such as the Lakota, Apsaroke, and Piegan and seemed particularly adept at transforming their dignity and pride into extraordinary photographic images.
Curtis’s photographs of Indian life on the Great Plains comprise perhaps his most popular body of work; for many people, his photographs of the chiefs and warriors, the beadwork, the horses, and the Plains landscape have come to exemplify the American Indian. However, his photographs of the Plains Indians also documented many other aspects of tribal cultural life, including hunting, warfare, vision quests, and religious ceremonies. These images remain an unparalleled vision of the strength and nobility of the Plains Indian peoples who had once held dominion over tens of thousands of square miles.”
