UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

In the history of this universe powerful spiritual truths – in the hands of priests – are perverted into religions confined inside the walls of stone temples constructed with enforced compliance to mortal men who teach empty rituals and superstitions intended to control and enslave souls.

EARTH SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF SATELLITES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

This NASA video shows the Earth through the “eyes” of a combination of satellites that measure and record various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and are above or below the visible spectrum of human eyesight. This enables us to see a much more complete image of of the interactive currents of weather and other atmospheric phenomenon. NASA claims the video (from 2006) is “evidence” that global warming is real and the aerosol pollution from Asia is responsible. Of course they don’t mention anything about the pollution from the US, or the influence of HAARP to artificially control weather patterns! The imagery is fascinating, with or without the “agenda” of corporations and governments who hope to profit from the spurious mythology of “global warming”.

ART FOR ART’S SAKE

“Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don’t believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art’s sake.”

—  E. M. Forster,  British novelist (1879 – 1970)

English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. He is known best for his ironic and well-plotted novels examining class difference and hypocrisy in early 20th-century British society. Forster’s humanistic impulse toward understanding and sympathy may be aptly summed up in the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End: “Only connect … “. His 1908 novel,  A Room with a View, is his most optimistic work, while A Passage to India (1924) brought him his greatest success.

Here are some great photos of Judy Garland, Munchkin actors, the director and others on the set of the film THE WIZARD OF OZ.  This amazing film lost the “best picture” award to another film in 1939 called “Gone With The Wind”.  Two Academy Award nominations for films about wind storms in the same year…. go figure.
