THE MORTALITY MECHANIC

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Be wary, those who would be The Creators of a Universe, of the two primordial curses:

Power Unopposed and Intelligence Unapplied.

I am not The One.  I am not The Creator.

Yet, I am holy and sacrosanct.  I am more important and more powerful than The Gods.

               Why? You say that I am. 

I control your existence.

               Why? Because I promised you relief from eternal boredom, from the perpetual responsibility of  self-amusement.  Therefore, you follow my instruction without question.

               Why? Because you claim you cannot bear to endure Eternity as The One.

Give me your trust and praise. Submit yourself to pain, anguish, amnesia and mystery.            

               Why? Because you choose Not To Be.

Your stupidity is its own reward and punishment.  Your decadence ensures your slavery.  Mortality is the key to your prison.”

QUANTUM PHYSICS STUDIES TINY OBJECTS IN SPACE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Quantum” comes from the Latin meaning “how much”.  Quantum physics is the study of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and even smaller microscopic levels. In the early 20th century, scientists discovered that the laws governing macroscopic objects do not function the same in such small realms.

In the realm of quantum physics, observing something actually influences the physical processes taking place. Light waves act like particles and particles act like waves (called wave particle duality). Matter can go from one spot to another without moving through the intervening space (called quantum tunnelling). Information moves instantly across vast distances. In fact, in quantum mechanics we discover that the entire universe is actually a series of probabilities. Fortunately, it breaks down when dealing with large objects, as demonstrated by the Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment.

Ironically, ideas of “quantum physics” is a subject understood for thousands of years by persons who know that the physical universe is the RESULT of “spiritual creation” or thought, and not the SOURCE of thought or creation:

~ from ancient Vedic scripture

(Idham thadhakshare parame vyoman) “the aakaash (spiritual force) is not destructible, it is the primordial absolute substratum that creates cosmic matter”.

~ from The Life of Apollonius of Tyana, Philostratus, 220AD

“And they allowed Apollonius to ask questions; and he asked them of what they thought the cosmos was composed; but they replied; “Of elements.” “Are there then four?” he asked. “Not four,” said Larchas, “but five.” “And how can there be a fifth,” said Apollonius, “alongside of water and air and earth and fire?” “There is the ether,” replied the other, “which we must regard as the stuff of which gods are made; for just as all mortal creatures inhale the wire, so do immortal and divine natures inhale the ether.” “Am I,” said Appollonius, “to regard the universe as a living creature?” “Yes,” said the other.”

~ Nikola Tesla, from his work Man’s Greatest Achievement (1930):

“What has the future in store for this strange being, (humans) born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet immortal, with his powers fearful and divine? What magic will be wrought by him in the end? What is to be his greatest deed, his crowning achievement?

All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never-ending cycles all things and phenomena.”

~ from the book Alien Interview (Roswell, 1947)

“There are as many universes as there are IS-BEs (Immortal Spiritual Beings) to imagine, build and perceive them, each existing concurrently within its own continuum. Each universe is created using its own unique set of rules, as imagined, altered, preserved or destroyed by one or more IS-BEs who created it. Time, energy, objects and space, as defined in terms of the physical universe, may or may not exist in other universes.”
