EARTH AS SEEN THOUGH EXTRATERRESTRIAL EYES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

This beautifully produced NOVA documentary reveals the Earth from the OUTSIDE, with breathtaking beauty and details which it is NOT POSSIBLE to perceive with a human body. Video and non-visual data from more than 100 satellites orbiting the Earth which measure different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and amalgamated into information we can “see” without the limitation of your very inadequate eyeballs!  I highly recommend this film as a exercise in “consciousness expanding”.  It make one aware of our VERY limited ability, inside a biological body, to perceive “reality” in the physical universe.  What we actually “see” with our eyes is only a very, very tiny sliver of the entire electromagnetic spectrum of phenomena that exist in the physical universe.  This film showed me a LOT more than I ever imagined!  It is as though I am able to look through the “eyes” on an extraterrestrial space craft pilot, visiting Earth from another star!  It makes me wonder…. what if I could perceive the ENTIRE electromagnetic spectrum?  How different would my point of view of “reality” become?  If I were not inhabiting a biological body, could I “see” all of this phenomena with my “disembodied eyes”?  I wonder…..

SHORT PEOPLE

Children are basically just “short people”. In a few year they will become “tall” people, just like you — probably even taller. So, maybe we should start treating our “short” people like real people instead of some kind of cute toys or disenfranchised “lesser beings”. They are entitled to the same respect, dignity and responsibilities that adults are supposed to grant to each other. After all, they are going to become the people our mothers warned us about being careful not to hang out with.  If you don’t educate them into the reality that they can realize their dreams, while sharing the responsibility for taking care of themselves and being a part of the community, they will be the people our mothers warned us about.

INVOCATION OF THE GODS

Invocation of the gods

“Where upon Olympus stand the gods who once ruled over Man?  Fallen from the Lofty Land to dwell on Earth as mortal men?

Who remembers how to fly as freeborn spirits through the sky? What powers can be exercised while trapped within a mortal guise?

The gods once caused themselves to bring The Breath of Life itself to being.  Their very thoughts made every thing: the sea, a sigh, the sky, the spring!

The Gods of Old, like you & me, created everything we see. Have they lost causality?  Abandoned their abilities?

Where are the gods of history?  What happened to their memory? If we are them and they are we, who will cause our destiny?

Merchant Lords now rule the fold. They want us all to fit their mold: “Be a Man!  Do as you’re told!  The only god there is, is gold!”

How did we ever sink so low, pretending we don’t really know that we’re the spark that makes life grow, like springtime flowers through the snow?

Infinity is passing by, but time is really just a lie. Are we immortal, you and I?  A question states its own reply…

We never really know we’re blind until we search around to find a simple way to leave behind the suffering that is Mankind.

Can godly powers be regained, like oceans fall to Earth as rain? Can we go back from whence we came, to greater heights and bigger games?

Lead us homeward once again, to realms beyond the dreams of men. We’ve gone astray, we’ve lost our ken*.  We need your help, Immortal Friends!”
