THE FUTURE THAT NEVER WAS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Here’s the retro-futuristic trailer by the brilliant graphic artist Bradley W. Schenck: “Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual”. The Thrilling Tales web site hosts lightly interactive, densely illustrated stories from Retropolis – the world of the Future That Never Was. The stories can be viewed in their entirety on the web site (with a few nifty web-only features) for free – but they can also be purchased as full color printed books that you can read on the porch, or in the passenger seat (please!) of your flying car.

The first story to appear on the Thrilling Tales web site is “Trapped in the Tower of the Brain Thieves” – Part one of “The Toaster With TWO BRAINS”.

SENTIENT BEINGS

Is-Be“Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings.  This includes human beings.  For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up word: “IS-BE”.  Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of “is”, and the only reason for their  existence is that they decide to “be”. No matter how lowly their station in a society, every IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment that I myself would like to receive from others.  Each person on Earth continues to be an IS-BE whether they are aware of the fact or not.” ~ Alien Interview

the body is a prison of the spirit

Mortality Mechanics' Manual“A human being is the literal embodiment of mortality. The flesh is a prison for the Being. The Earth is a prison for the body: a prison within a prison for a Soul, carefully concealed in Mystery. An object animated by a Soul that thinks that it is the object is the ultimate accomplishment of the trade and technology of The Mortality Mechanic.”

# 583   —  OPERATE AN ORACLE SHRINE

“An oracle is a spirit considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion, predictions of the future, inspired by the gods. Oracles were portals through which the gods spoke directly to man.

There are a few easy steps to opening your own oracle temple.

1) find a location. This could be a cave, a temple, a shrine, a mountain top or any other place that seems “holy”.

2) hire a priestess to intercede between you and the supplicant.

3) train the priestess to listen to you and interpret your thoughts perfectly so she can relay them without alteration. After all, you don’t want your wisdom and good advice to be ruined by a bad translator.

4) have the priestess burn some incense.

5) advertise in the “personals” columns or put 3 X 5 index cards on bulletin boards in Laundromats with the following announcement:

“I, _________, (your name) the “great god (your name)” will be making predictions and precognitions at the (oracle temple location) between the hours of (evenings and week-ends are best) for the low, introductory offering price of ( a sheep, a goat, a bowl of grain, a basket of fruit, etc.).”

Then, sit back and get ready to hand out free advice to the teaming throngs.

Of course, if you can do some magic tricks or heal a few crippled people, this will help get your ratings up.  The good buzz about you will spread quickly.

Soon your name and your temple will be revered throughout the realm for thousands of years to come, or until it is outlawed and destroyed by a bunch of greedy, holier-than-thou priests.”

PROPAGANDA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

NOT RESPONSIBLE

“On Earth, the propaganda taught and agreed upon is that the gods are responsible, and that human beings are not responsible.  You are taught that only a god can create universes.  So the responsibility for every action is assigned to another Is-Be (Immortal Spiritual Being) or god. Never oneself.”
