99% BLIND

April 3, 2023 LRS

If you are inhabiting the body of a human being on planet Earth, you are 99% deaf and blind.

However, if you are NOT inhabiting the body of a human being, you may be able to SEE!

“Consider that you can see less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum and hear less than 1% of the acoustic spectrum. As you read this, you are traveling at 220 km/sec across the galaxy. 90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not “you.” The atoms in your body are 99.9999999999999999% empty space and none of them are the ones you were born with. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, 2 less than the common potato. …all the beautiful colors you see represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum.”

— NASA Lunar Science Institute, 2012

GAIA MAI TAI RECIPE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

* GAIA, meaning Earth, elated to the Avestan word gaiia ‘life;’ cf. Av. gaēθā ‘(material) world, totality of creatures’ and gaēθiia ‘belonging to/residing in the worldly/material sphere, material’; or perhaps Av, gairi ‘mountain’. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. She is the immediate parent of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods) and the Giants, and of Pontus (the sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods.

Mai Tai is an alcoholic cocktail based on rum, Curaçao liqueur and lime juice, associated with Polynesian-style settings. “Maita’i” is the Tahitian word for “good”.
