WHERE CAN YOU FIND A GOOD BRAIN?

If you were going to build your own, personal life form where would you look to find a brain?

Would you trust your own brain if you were using your creative skills to create a “humanoid” monster?

Given the behaviour of human beings on this planet, it might be a good idea to work on some other project, like growing some nice flowers or something sensible.

This seven minute animated film is a masterpiece of visual artistry combined with powerful political and spiritual imagery and insight.  The title “I, Pet Goat II” is somewhat inappropriate to the spiritual context of the film, as it is a reference to the title of the book that “W” was reading to school kids while his co-conspirators blew up the World Trade Center as a False Flag operation to justify military invasion, political tyranny and financial ruin. However, this film is a much broader commentary on the current state of Mankind, both as homo sapiens and as spiritual entities.  I trust you will enjoy it. as I have. — LRS
