CERES “LIGHTS” CRATER IN COLOR
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
The most recent composite image released by NASA’s is a color-coded topographic map of Occator crater on Ceres. The photo is extremely low-resolution, of course, so no details of the “city” or “base” can be clearly seen. However, the image does provide a sense of depth and proportion of the “lights” compared to the size and topography of the crater. The blue is the lowest elevation, and brown is the highest. The crater is approximately 56 miles (90 kilometers wide). Proportionately, the “lights” could extend roughly 20 miles (32 kilometers) in length.
DEATH: SHE’S NOT ALL BAD

# 549 — PRETEND YOU’VE NEVER LIVED BEFORE.
Here is a really fun exercise. Try NOT to remember lives you’ve spent in bodies during your nearly infinite past. Go ahead. Try hard. See what happens.
# 550 — STOP PAYING TAXES.
This is an easy and inexpensive pastime.
# 551 — FEEL REALLY BIG.
This game can keep you amused endlessly. Size is relative to the largeness or smallness of other objects or spaces, by comparison. Some beings think “big” means 5’11”, 210 pounds. Or, a size 14 dress.
Now that you don’t have a body, those numbers shouldn’t really matter much. You can change your mind and just BE BIG.
For starters, try feeling as big as a Volkswagen. Then, a city bus. Next, be as big as a two story house. Be as big as a an apartment building. Work your way up gradually. Don’t try to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Who do you think you are, some kind of a god or something?
Well, maybe you are a god. There really isn’t anything about you, as a disembodied spirit, that is different than the ancient gods except size, strength, ability, and desire to invade the lives of men and make them miserable. Decide for yourself.
#552 — FIGURE OUT HOW LONG TO STAY DEAD.
Now that you’ve gotten used to the idea of being dead, and have gained some confidence in your ability to “conquer death” you may decide you would like to go to Earth and get another body again.
First, you should decide how long to stay dead before jumping right back into the same mess you were in before.
The reasons for planning your arrival on Earth are multitudinous and obvious. For example, you already know that warfare is almost continuous. Try to choose a time and a location on Earth where you are least likely to be killed or forced to kill others in battle. (good luck)
If this should occur you will be dead again in another 18 years, or less, anyway so it is very important to plan your birth ahead of the “blessed event”.
If you’re able to get a female body your odds of avoiding war may be better. However, women are almost universally oppressed, abused and enslaved by men, so don’t jump into this lightly either.
Of course there are always taxes, diseases, accidents, politicians and a host of other potential calamities to avoid.
Plan carefully and choose the time and place of your arrival cautiously. And, pick a place where you already know the language. Somewhere that has running water and electricity may be a good idea too.”

READ THE BOOK, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE… 
THE POWER

“You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas“–Glinda
“Oh Dear! That’s too wonderful to be true!“–Dorothy
“Now those magic slippers will take you home in two seconds. Just close your eyes and think to yourself, ‘There’s no place like home’.”–Glinda
“Then why didn’t you tell her before?“–The Scarecrow
“Because she wouldn’t have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.“–Glinda
“If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own back yard, because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.“–Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz”
Like Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ we are creatures of our own design. We live in universes created by our own agreements and imagination. We are inside the Physical Universe looking out to find the origin of our being. We long for a place we feel certain must exist; a place where there is no trouble. We wait for wizards and witches to show us the way home. Yet we fear to close our eyes and click our heels to see the Universe Within.
Our journey home begins at the source of the rainbow; shining light upon our own eternal, ethereal selves.
The history of mankind seems blanketed in a simultaneous state of amnesia and deja vu. The ruins of ancient civilizations whisper a reminder that we have forgotten everything we knew.
A multitude of gods have shown themselves like shadows in the halls of history. We know not yet, except by our own observation and decision, which of them is real. We are betrayed by those who teach us that we must trust the Wizards of the West. While pretentious politicians defend the castles of the Witch, the media monkeys swarm to spin perverted lies to cover up their covert tricks.
The voiceless bones of wonderful wizards have dissolved to mortal dust once more. Their words have vanished in the smoke of sacred libraries, searing our souls with the stupefying stench of wisdom lost forever in their flames. From day to day the timeworn treadmill of survival forces us to worship at the soulless bankers’ shrine. Gold is still the god of the great and powerful Oz.
We have crash-landed in a twisted alien landscape of pain and mortality, far away from our home Universe. As a race we have amnesia. We are repeatedly bumped on the head by the recurring cataclysmic upheavals of a planet whirling in space like a farmhouse in a tornado.
The future is an extension of the present. We must live our lives in the present in a manner which will create the greatest good for the greatest number of beings in the future. If we are aware of our own past lives, we must also be aware that we are creating our own future by our present actions. We will inherit our own legacy.
As Professor Marvel points out with simple eloquence, “There are no other wizards…”
We are apparently the only wizards there ever were and the only wizards that ever will be. We are each a part of a time track of the past, present and future of our own creation, individually and collectively.
If we let the Wicked Witches run the culture now, they will be in charge of the place when we come back. Just as we are the descendants of past generations, you and I may very well become, through reincarnation, the children of our children–we are the future generations who will inherit the environmental and cultural conditions of the future which we ourselves are creating today.
Man has apparently been searching the stars for a way to leave the Earth and go “over the rainbow” to a place where there is no trouble.
Since before the beginning of our own dim primordial prehistory, we have been looking into the depths of our own immortal selves for a way “over the rainbow” back to YOUR OWN UNIVERSE–our own identity, simplicity and power as spiritual beings. This has been the dream of many religious philosophers throughout the ages.
We still have not solved many of the mysteries of the physical universe. However, we can CHOOSE to see what’s in it. We can CHOOSE to disagree with what we see. We can CHOOSE to agree to the creation of a new and better universe.
Dorothy and her friends have taught us a valuable allegorical lesson: Dorothy got herself into the Land of Oz, and she got herself back to Kansas, but she would not have made it without the help of her friends. If ever there will be a Yellow Brick Road, if ever there will be an Emerald City of which we can be proud, we must build it ourselves.”
