My body is getting old, creaky, decrepit, achy, frail and tired. Fortunately, I’m not my body.
I’m still 18 in my mind!

A Future Vaccine to Prevent Knowledge of Soul and Spirit
~ “The time will come – and it may not be far off – when quite different tendencies will come up at a congress like the one held in 1912 and people will say: It is pathological for people to even think in terms of spirit and soul. ‘Sound’ people will speak of nothing but the body. It will be considered a sign of illness for anyone to arrive at the idea of any such thing as a spirit or a soul. People who think like that will be considered to be sick and – you can be quite sure of it – a medicine will be found for this. . . .
The soul will be made non-existent with the aid of a drug. Taking a ‘sound point of view,’ people will invent a vaccine to influence the organism as early as possible, preferably as soon as it is born, so that this human body never even gets the idea that there is a soul and spirit.
“. . . the heirs of modern materialism will look for the vaccine to make the body ‘healthy,’ that is, make its constitution such that this body no longer talks of such rubbish as soul and spirit, but takes a ‘sound’ view of the forces which live in engines and in chemistry and let planets and suns arise from nebulae in the cosmos. Materialistic physicians will be asked to drive the souls out of humanity.”

I had the privilege of spending several hours with Suzanne Taylor this week. She is the award winning producer / director of the documentary film titled “WHAT ON EARTH? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery” Before meeting Suzanne, and watching the film myself, I had only a few ill-conceived notions about the ‘crop circle phenomenon’, which has been a source of controversy for many decades. Like most “truth” on our planet, it is almost always ridiculed as “heresy”, before being more thoroughly examined, debated and ultimately accepted as “fact” by the “scientific community” (the self-appointed priests of Western Civilization). Coincidentally, only 500 hundred years ago every decent, church-fearing European was certain (because they had been convinced, under pain of death, dismemberment or burning at the stake) that “The Earth is The Center of The Universe”. Attempts at “debunking” the “heresy” of crop circles have been financed by the same “Earth is The Center of The Universe” advocates for many years. Thus, since I am admittedly gullible by nature, I believed the “debunker” news reels and TV “news releases” that showed us film of “Doug and Dave” admitting that they, all by themselves, were staying up all night making the crop circles with a piece of wooden board and ropes. Wow, that’s amazing, guys! Especially when you watch the documentary “What on Earth” and discover that crop circles appear — overnight — in more than 40 countries around the world! And, that thorough analysis demonstrates that the “real” imprints exhibit chemical, electromagnetic and physical characteristics that can not be made or replicated on Earth.
My personal proclivity toward conspiracy theories, alien agendas, spiritual balderdash and UFO fandom notwithstanding, I came away from watching “What on Earth“ with the epiphany that we are witnesses to an universal paradigm shift in human consciousness right here in “The Center of The Universe”! It appears to me that there may be “universes” around, through and about us of which we have not been aware. Moreover, there may be “spiritual beings” in those universes that are trying to tell us something about the various universes and our relationship to them and each other.
Whatever your favorite superstitions or mythologies or belief systems or preconceived notions may be I DARE YOU to watch “What on Earth” and not be dramatically impacted by it on an intellectual, spiritual and visceral level. — Lawrence R. Spencer, April 26, 2012.
