EARTH AS SEEN THOUGH EXTRATERRESTRIAL EYES

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

This beautifully produced NOVA documentary reveals the Earth from the OUTSIDE, with breathtaking beauty and details which it is NOT POSSIBLE to perceive with a human body. Video and non-visual data from more than 100 satellites orbiting the Earth which measure different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and amalgamated into information we can “see” without the limitation of your very inadequate eyeballs!  I highly recommend this film as a exercise in “consciousness expanding”.  It make one aware of our VERY limited ability, inside a biological body, to perceive “reality” in the physical universe.  What we actually “see” with our eyes is only a very, very tiny sliver of the entire electromagnetic spectrum of phenomena that exist in the physical universe.  This film showed me a LOT more than I ever imagined!  It is as though I am able to look through the “eyes” on an extraterrestrial space craft pilot, visiting Earth from another star!  It makes me wonder…. what if I could perceive the ENTIRE electromagnetic spectrum?  How different would my point of view of “reality” become?  If I were not inhabiting a biological body, could I “see” all of this phenomena with my “disembodied eyes”?  I wonder…..

MIRIAM MAKEBA — MAMA AFRICA

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 10 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award winning South African singer and civil rights activist.

In the 1960s she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music in the U.S. and around the world. She is best known for the song “Pata Pata“, first recorded in 1957 and released in the U.S. in 1967. She recorded and toured with many popular artists, such as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband Hugh Masekela.

She actively campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. As a result, the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return. After the end of apartheid she returned home.
