GRAVITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“The body (of the alien pilot) was highly tolerant to changes in temperature, atmospheric conditions, and pressure. The limbs were quite frail, without musculature. In space there is no gravity, (Footnote) so very little muscle strength is needed. The body was used almost entirely on space craft or in low, or no-gravity environments. Since Earth has a heavy gravity, the body was not able to walk around very well as the legs were not really suited to that purpose. The feet and hands were quite flexible and agile however.”

— Excerpted from the book, Alien Interview, edited by Lawrence R. Spencer

“…in space there is no gravity…”

“The terms gravitation and gravity are mostly interchangeable in everyday use, but in scientific usage a distinction may be made. “Gravitation” is a general term describing the attractive influence that all objects with mass exert on each other, while “gravity” specifically refers to a force that is supposed in some theories (such as Newton’s) to be the cause of this attraction. By contrast, in general relativity gravitation is due to space-time curvatures that cause inertially moving objects to accelerate towards each other.

Isaac Newton’s theory of universal gravitation is a physical law describing the gravitational attraction between bodies with mass. It is a part of classical mechanics and was first formulated in Newton’s work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687. In modern language it states the following:

Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses:

where:

· F is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses,

· G is the gravitational constant,

· m1 is the mass of the first point mass,

· m2 is the mass of the second point mass,

· r is the distance between the two point masses.”

HUMAN DEVOLUTION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Where did human beings, with their attributes of mind and consciousness, come from? Today the most common answer is a process of materialistic evolution. But not everyone is satisfied with that answer, including me. I am human devolutiontherefore proposing an alternative explanation, with roots in the ancient Vedic culture of India . Although I am proposing a Vedic alternative, I am aware that it is part of a larger family of spiritual alternatives, with roots in other religious systems, which I also honor and respect. First I wish to show there is a genuine need for an alternative. There is a lot of archeological evidence that contradicts the currently dominant explanation of human origins, and the current explanation has not been fully demonstrated, to the exclusion of alternatives, by genetics. So there is a genuine need for a new explanation. But before even asking the question, “Where did human beings come from?”, we should first ask the question, “What is a human being?”

Today, many researchers believe a human being is simply a combination of the ordinary material elements – but when we look at all the evidence, we see it is more reasonable to say that a human being is a combination not just of matter but also of a subtle (but nonetheless material) mind element and an irreducible element of nonmaterial consciousness. These elements must have some source, and this suggests that our cosmos has levels dominated by increasingly more subtle elements, ending with pure consciousness or spirit. Instead of evolving ‘up’ from matter, as most scientists now believe, consciousness devolves or comes ‘down’ from a level of pure consciousness, and becomes covered by the lower energies of mind and matter. This process I call devolution. But it is a process that can be reversed, through techniques of prayer, meditation, and yoga, by which consciousness can be restored to its original pure state. And this is the main purpose of human existence.

Michael A. Cremo has a Phd. (honoris causa) in science and theology. His work focuses on Vedic perspectives on human origins and antiquity. He has presented papers at meetings of the World Archeological Congress, European Association of Archeologists, and the International Congress for History of Science. He has twice presented papers in the bi-annual conference series Toward A Science of Consciousness. He has given invited lectures at the Royal Institution in London, the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia, and at other scientific institutions and universities around the world. Cremo is the principal author of the book Forbidden Archeology; a comprehensive survey of archeological evidence consistent with Vedic accounts of extreme human antiquity. The abridged popular edition of Forbidden Archeology, titled The Hidden History of the Human Race, has been translated into twenty languages. Cremo’s latest book is entitled Human Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin ‘s Theory. Cremo is particularly interested in examining the history of the archeology and anthropology from the standpoint of alternative worldviews, particularly worldviews with foundations in consciousness-based ancient Indian thought. He has been a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness since 1974.

UFO MYTH AND IMAGINATION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Flying Saucers may be a psychic or mythical phenomenondomonkos-1

Dr. Jacques Vallee, a French-American computer specialist with a background in astrophysics, once served as consultant to NASA’s Mars Map project.  Jacques Vallee is one of ufology’s major figures – and also its most original thinker. Vallee, who holds a master’s degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University.

But by 1969, when he published Passport to Magonia (Regnery), Vallee’s assessment of the UFO phenomenon had undergone a significant shift. Much to the consternation of the “scientific ufologists” who had seen him as one of their champions, Vallee now sJacques Valleeemed to be backing away from the extraterrestrial hypotheses and advancing the radical view that UFOs are paranormal in nature and a modern space age manifestation of a phenomenon which assumes different guises in different historical contexts.

” When the underlying archetypes are extracted,” he wrote, “the saucer myth is seen to coincide to a remarkable degree with the fairy-faith of Celtic countries … religious miracles… and the widespread belief among all peoples concerning entities whose physical and psychological descriptions place them in the same category as the present-day ufonauts.”

In The Invisible College (E.P. Dutton, 1975) Vallee posits the idea of a “control system.” UFOs and related phenomena are “the means through which man’s Invisble Collegeconcepts are being rearranged.” Their ultimate source may be unknowable, at least at this stage of human development; what we do know, according to Vallee, is that they are presenting us with continually recurring “absurd” messages and appearances which defy rational analysis but which nonetheless address human beings on the level of myth and imagination.

“When I speak of a control system for planet earth,” he says, ” I do not want my words to be misunderstood: I do not mean that some higher order of beings has locked us inside the constraints of a space-bound jail, closely monitored by psychic entities we might call angels or demons. I do not propose to redefine God. What I do mean is that mythology rules at a level of our social reality over which normal political and intellectual action has no power….”

DO FLIES CAUSE GARBAGE?

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Louis Pasteur, the eminent French chemist who invented pasteurization, the process of heating milk and foods to kill bacteria, was convinced that germs cause disease. In his early experiments with bacteria he attempted to grow bacterial cultures on fresh fruit–without success. However, he did succeed in getting bacteria to grow in cooked soup.

A contemporary of Pasteur was a man named Antoine Beauchamps. Beauchamps questioned the Pasteur theory that germs cause disease, observing that flies do not cause garbage. Rather, that garbage attracts the flies. Further, Beauchamps asserted that if you kill the flies, the flies will return as long as the garbage remains. So it is with the human body.

Two conditions must be present for an infection to occur in the body:

1/ The body must be weakened by something OTHER THAN the bacteria. This is obvious in that bacteria like streptococcus, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc, are present all around us and throughout our bodies, and yet we are not always sick.

2/ There must be “food” for the bacteria to feed on in the body.

Healthy cell tissue, like the fresh fruit in Louis Pasteur’s experiment, offers the bacteria nothing to feed on. All bacteria are scavengers. Like flies, bacteria eat ONLY dead, toxic, rotting or decayed tissue. Virus, bacteria, fungus, etc, attack the body only AFTER the body has become weakened by accumulated “garbage”.

For example, colds and fevers are NOT caused by germs. These are symptoms of the body’s effort to cleanse the toxins from the body.

BACTERIA FEED ON BODIES WHICH ARE ALREADY WEAKENED BY TOO MANY TOXINS WHICH CAUSE THE BODY TO DECAY.

It follows that the prevention and cure of disease is not just to “kill the flies”– we must clean up and get rid of the garbage in the body upon which bacteria feed! When the body is clean, the body’s natural defense against disease and bacteria (the Immune System) is strong enough to defend it from illness.

In epitaph to Louis Pasteur, at the time of his death, he admitted that he had been wrong about his “germ theory” of disease.
