Universes are comprised of thoughts, ideas, dreams, illusions, delusions, which may also include stars, space, time, energy and objects. Or not. These are the universes of the author Lawrence R. Spencer, and others for whom he has an affinity.

MEANWHILE…ANOTHER UNIVERSE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Here is an intimate exploration of alien lives in a universe of spectacularly colorful strangeness…no less bizarre than our own… marine animals like corals and starfish at high magnification through the time lapse film. This is an infinitesimal part of the world in which we live and of which we should take better care. But, we must first be aware that it exists.

NEW YEARS EVE 2012-2013

“YOU ARE A SOURCE OF CREATION.
ADMIRE THE ROLES YOU PLAY IN THE GAMES OF THE ETERNAL NOW.

PLAY THE PARTS WORTHY OF YOUR ABILITY, YOUR SANITY AND YOUR SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY.

TIME IS CHANGE; ALL THINGS PASS.

WE ENDURE THE FUTURE WE CREATE.

LOVE OF PLAY IS OUR DESTINY.
LIFE IS THE GAME WE PLAY. “

War is defined as an active conflict that has claimed more than 1,000 lives.   

Has the world ever been at peace?

Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history.

How many people have died in war?

At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. War has several other effects on population, including decreasing the birthrate by taking men away from their wives. The reduced birthrate during World War II is estimated to have caused a population deficit of more than 20 million people.
