YHWH Eh, gods? What'cha Gonna Do? - 04-04-2022

Do you have a religion? No, I don't have a religion. No. I mean, I'm not okay, so I'm not a joiner. Okay, so sigma males, I'm a schizotypical.

So schizotypicals are isolated, okay? Something people don't know about schizophrenics is that schizophrenics have a tendency to put out pheromones that make people uncomfortable around them. So individuals not of my family could not stand being around my brother because he put out pheromones that basically caused them to freak out. So a lot of mentally ill produce stuff in their sweat that makes us feel bad around them. And if you ever encounter an emotionally disturbed individual in the street and you get close enough to them, you will feel that reason to back off, and it is a pheromone.

And so these issues with schizophrenics are formative in terms of how we relate to people and so on, right? So it was not in the nature of my family to be joiners just because of that. And I am a Sigma male, so I'm not a joiner. So I would not have a religion in the sense of belonging to an organization that way. And I do not count religion, which is the organized discussion and analysis of an understanding, a philosophical or spiritual understanding, as being that spiritual understanding.

So I live in the woo. I've always lived in the woo, right? So in my world, I go by that old and I don't even know where it appears, but that old Christian saying that a man's self is God, okay? So in yourself is God. Now, I have gone to some great examination into examining reality, some great thought into examining reality, and I've come up with a theory that I call the Wooble.

And this Wooble explains magnetism at a way that no physicist in quantum mechanics or anything can explain magnetism. And I can measure the explanation. There's a part of my magnetism theory that has a measurement in it, and I can make that measurement that validates that theory. It proves itself, okay? The underlying core of that theory is that the reality we live in is a vibratory reality.

Like Nikola Tesla says, frequency is everything. Vibration is everything. Well, we are vibrating at 22 trillion times a second. We are vibrating into existence and out of existence 22 trillion times a second. And in between each of those vibrations into existence is a gap that the meditators call the void.

And I'm a deep zazan meditator, and I've come close to touching the void, and I know it exists. And this void is a space where there is nonexistence. It happens so fast, our minds are not aware of it at any conscious level, but they do. They are aware of it. And I will tell you right now that there is one thing and one thing only that causes us to recreate our bodies 22 trillion times a second, to jump the gap of the void, so to speak.

And that one thing is consciousness. So in my understanding of reality, and if you go look at my video called Just Another Wu Cult, I get into these various frequencies. But if you go all the way down to 22 trillion times a second and touch through the gap, you touch consciousness that is there, that exists in permanency. That is what people call God. Okay?

So I know I live in that consciousness. So for me, I have never felt the need for a religion. No. But it's reassuring to have confirmation that God, as we call him, exists. I think that's cool.

Okay, so I've had confirmation in another way, much more striking and brutal, and that is that I've died in this body three times in this life. In this body's life, I have perished three times. Most recently was on Friday the 13th July in 2018, when I perished of colon cancer. They took a colon cancer out of me that was 5 CM. By 5 CM.

By 4 CM, it had blocked my intestine, and I had lost 50 pounds in the course of less than six months, and I perished. And in that perishing, I had the same experience that I'd had the previous two times of dying. And so I've had three times as a trend. And so I know that that's what happens when I die. And so I have confirmation that death is not the end.

Right? And is it better that the world that we go to do after death better? We have to be careful about words. Better. How do you define better?

And so on. It is different. There is no fear. There's plenty of good stuff about it, and it's different. It is simply part of what we're doing.

And so, in my understanding, what happens is that you die. And if you are of a sufficiently deep understanding or accurate understanding, you are presented with the image of the mechanism of reality as it exists. Otherwise you're presented with what may be described as an artificial reality, very much like the artificial reality that we're in now. You would find it very difficult to tell the difference between this material that we're in now and the artificial reality that presents itself after death. For most people, that is the case.

Myself, I've died so many times and have lived so many times that I'm at that point where I'm interacting with it on the mechanistic level. So I do not experience or see what others would necessarily see. It is not a ubiquitous experience for all. And in fact, I can assure you that everyone who dies has a personal experience of heaven and an absolutely perfect existence of timeless joy in heaven. I can assure you that this does indeed exist, but it is far more complicated than that statement would tend to suggest.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.


Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

Episode Summary:

The PDF discusses the concept of "wu" and its implications on understanding reality, consciousness, and human experience. "Wu" is described as an indescribable aspect of reality, closely related to the Tao, representing things not present to our senses or obscured from our minds. It is suggested that "wu" encompasses everything hidden or denied in our consciousness, and it's something that powers try to obscure from individuals. The discussion also touches on the idea that there are only two models proposed for the universe: quantum mechanics and the ether, with the latter being favored in the conversation. The ether is described as supporting consciousness, which in turn supports the material world where matter exists. The concept of "wu" is said to be right beyond the universe, which is defined as the sum total of every human's experience throughout history. The text also explores the idea of reincarnation and the equality of all human experiences in contributing to the universe.

The conversation further delves into the understanding of language, emotions, and thoughts. It is suggested that emotions drive language and thoughts, with the speaker noting the importance of using appropriate words and the power of language. The speaker also shares their enlightenment experience, highlighting the significance of proper naming and the power of thoughts. The discussion suggests that thoughts are dangerous as they can influence and change social orders, emphasizing the need for societies to examine and accept new thoughts carefully. The text also mentions the breakdown of social orders due to the intrusion of "wu" and the crumbling of frameworks built on lies. This breakdown is said to lead to a dangerous period where individuals without perceptual anchors might gravitate towards any leadership, good or bad. The conversation ends with reflections on current events, suggesting that there is a shift in the social order and media's stance towards political figures, with individuals within the media and politics being investigated.

Hi, Cliff. Welcome back to the program. Thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here, especially at this time. Oh, I'm so excited to have you back.

I have been binging on your shows, and it's been like I told you in the email, it's been therapeutic for me because you're looking at things from a big picture. Because if I look at trees, I get anxious. But if I can look at the bigger picture, that's what I need to have sanity. So you've been kind of providing that for me. So I thank you for that.

But let's get into it. First of all, what the heck is wu? People want to know what is because all your shows are based on wu. So what is that? Okay, so we can look at it a number of ways.

It is not simply an idea. It is an attempt to describe something that exists in our reality that is almost indescribable. So it is very close to the Tao, and I think the Tao actually is part of the Wu. It is a small part that they identified. But the Tao or the Wu is everything that is not present to our senses.

Those things we deny in our minds, those things that are hidden by our minds, those things that are hidden by our senses, those things that others would hide through obscuring our thinking. Okay, so anything that the powers that be want to obscure from you is woo. The fact that they are obscuring it from you is woo. Right? We live in woo.

Now, that's one way to look at it as sort of this abstract, sort of quasimorphous vague kind of a thing. There's other ways to look at it. There has only been two models ever proposed for universe. One is quantum mechanics, which I believe is flawed. And the other is the ether.

The ether predates quantum mechanics and actually has atomism and quantum mechanics as a small subset of it. Sure. And that etheric perspective dates back thousands of years. Right. And that perspective says there is consciousness, and unconsciousness is supported the ether by consciousness.

Now, you can call consciousness God, Allah, anything you want, but as far as we're concerned in this discussion, it is actually consciousness. Right. And so consciousness supports the ether. On the ether is the field. Within the field is the materium, this place where matter exists, our bodies are and in which all of universe is.

And wu is right on the other side of universe, and universe is described. It is delineated as the sum total of every human's experience in life. Is that all through history? All through history, all in perpetuity. And so universe is described that way.

So universe does not include the thinking of aliens unless it intrudes on the thinking of humans. So universe we describe here is precisely from a human perspective. Okay? But it is a remarkable concept because it means that all humans are equal whether you live two minutes and die, or whether you live 100 years and contribute and die. All human experience is equal because it is the sum total of all of our experience over time that makes up universe.

Bearing in mind. As a wu person, I know I'm reincarnated, so I will throw many, many lives into the sum total of universe. And so every person's experience, every person's suffering, joys, et cetera, are equal in their contribution to universe. Very nice, right? This is a very even playing field.

And so it is universe and wu are like, right there. Okay? So universe runs up to wu, and we subsist in wu. Other people have created a framework, a narrative that they present to us as reality that is not wu, that is constructed. And it's trying to block out all of the Woo that would otherwise inform our decisions.

So as a wu person, I can go into a room and I recognize that I am a sigma male. As a sigma male, I have sensory apparatus. I have energy bodies that extend out many, many feet, and I can tell instantly if there is another male in that room or female that threatens me. I can also tell as a woo person that that person is lying without hearing their words because of how they look, the aura around them, and the intent. Feel.

It correct. It is a perception. Feeling is a weird word, okay? I hate to use it because we have three minds. We have a body mind.

And you know your body mind when you hit a hammer on your toe because all of your consciousness rushes right to that toe, that's body mind, okay? Desire mind is obviously desire mind. Then we have feeling mind. Feeling mind is not emotions. Feeling mind is sensory perception.

Women have an exquisite perceptibility of feeling. Men have an exquisite perceptibility of desire, all right? And that's why we complement. Now, feeling is many times confused with the more gross form of sensory perception. So I just don't like using the word.

But you are correct. They bastardize the word into being something that is irrational versus just part of our being. And that's correct. And so many years ago, on the path into this work, when I was getting ready to start to get the idea for the algorithm, I went through an Enlightenment experience, which was the blinding white flash. Seeing your universal body, total loss of time, you're just drenched in sweat, and this stuff just oozes out of you, and you don't know what's going on.

And subsequent to that, I've had a very difficult time using or accepting inappropriate words applied to things. And so it is true, and I've run across this before that one of the first things that happens to people after they have an enlightenment experience is that they must use the proper names for things. It's just you have to do it right. You just cannot help yourself. And so language matters in a way that is really crucial.

And as the person I am as a linguist, because I've made my living for 30 plus years, 40 years, as a linguist with computers or with humans. And as a linguist, I'm very pleased now because we've reached the tipping point and the lies are starting to fall off, and we will get into 2780 years of knowledge. And in that course of that knowledge, we will discover our own true human history, the much more of the history of universe than that has been heard from us. But beyond all of that, the single greatest thing is that we will have a tendency to concentrate on perfecting communication for accuracy. Interesting.

Yeah, because I know that when I did a lot of data modeling back in the day, where I managed kind of broad computer systems right. And for telecommunications, and one of the big stumbling blocks was everybody had a different definition for a single word, and you had to get to a common definition on a word before you could actually design it properly. Correct? Yeah. And I learned that even basic words and so much of our arguing and so much of our confusion is because we disagree on basic words and the meanings.

It's the ambiguity. And it is actually not a mental thing. Okay? I've studied this for years and years. It is an emotional thing.

It strikes us when we go into puberty. And what happens to us is that we get into puberty and our parents are just so lame. They're just such numb nuts. They are language. I know.

And their language just does not suit us. And so I have this emotion and no, their word does not make sense for my emotion. So I have a word, and then I attach my emotion to that. And I'm slanging, right? And so slang is something that comes up with children.

They have a brief burst of it from, say, age three to five or six. It'll fade off for a couple of years once they start getting socialized. Then they have group slanging, say from eight to eleven, and then they start getting into puberty, and it gets really serious because they have that emotional impact to put to those words. So they actually will take old words or create new words, and they will attach emotional meaning to it. And this is the disconnect with old people, because old people will hear these sounds, but they have no way of knowing what is the emotional attachment to that sound.

So you can come on up and have some guy say, no, you can't SAS me. I can't have you SAS me. And you say what?

You see the point. You have no way of knowing a connection there. And so it is the ambiguity of language, but it is driven by our emotions. Now, I actually found a way around it in doing my predictive linguistics by not concentrating on the definition, the definition of the word, I started going to words as descriptors. So words were within descriptors of human emotion.

Once you start looking at it that way, then you find that, yes, languages are related graphically and phonetically and evolutionarily. But across languages, throughout all human culture, you can find that every language will have a cluster of words that will represent this class of emotions, another cluster that represents this class of emotions. So if you were to go to Pilcheck's Wheel of Emotion, he was a sociologist out of I think he's Polish, but out of, like, the 70s or eighty s, and he put together this thing of a wheel of emotions. I altered it for my own purpose and used that as the basis for my emotional reduction engine. But you can lay out all of the emotions that humans can have, and then you can start describing them in detail.

And you will then be able to, once you've got that descriptor support for each of the emotions, you can take those words in your language, and you will find correspondence in other languages. And so you can translate words emotionally rather than through meaning. And that's how you get at the stuff that I get at. Makes sense. Well, yeah.

And is it all thought or all emotional? Or is it kind of thoughts, too? Or is a thought an emotion? Okay, so we do not have thoughts absent emotion. We do not have movement absent emotion.

Now, here's how the body okay, so we have a desire mind and a feeling mind that are normally pretty well joined, right? And then we have a body mind that just sort of hangs out there, and occasionally they all fuse. But in our feeling and desire from which our emotions emerge, those are body prompts. And so the body mind is actually the driver of everything. And so, absent an emotion, I won't get up out of this chair, or I won't make my mouth move and talk to you, right?

Okay. I have to have an emotive nature. Now, humans are matter. We're coarse condensates of energy that is clustered together into a subsection of the field controlled by a subsection of consciousness. So my subsection of consciousness is controlling this subsection of the field in which my body is.

And that matter is being moved by what we can call prana ki chi spirit, whatever anime, whatever you want to put word put on it. But it is that energy that comes from consciousness that puts us together here and makes that matter move. But that energy responds to the matter in a feedback loop. And that's what causes emotions, because emotions are chemical. They're biochemical, but at some point, they translate into the abstraction, which is not an abstraction, but it is a permutation of consciousness that we call thought.

And so thought is dangerous, as the ancients would tell you, someone wandering in from a foreign land that had weird thoughts was put to death because thoughts could pollute the social order. Right. Thoughts are powerful, much more powerful, because it's energy coming into the matter as opposed to energy coming from the matter outward. And so the thoughts that come into you are really dangerous, especially if you do not have a society structured to examine and then decide to accept new thoughts. Right.

And that's what we're dealing with right now. That phenomena is the core because they're trying to keep those new thoughts out and we're trying to bring those new thoughts in, or we're trying to put those thoughts out. I mean, I don't know how that both. It's simultaneous. It can't be one without the other.

You must do that. Right. And so this is why I always follow this thing called first principles thinking, in which you get a real solid chunk of something that you can hang on to in terms of your thinking, and you build on it from there. And you can take these first principles thinking efforts all in huge levels. I mean, fantastic amounts of this.

This kind of like a framework. Exactly. It's a computer framework, in a sense, for your own thinking. And the beauty of it is that if you discover you've made a mistake, you can simply backtrack to the point that the error crept into your thinking, pick up from there and correct, and you don't have to go all the way back. So as a thinker, I don't have to abandon all of my core principles when one of them is proved to be wrong in the changing circumstances.

As a first principles thinker, I recognize that I live here where materium is is the place of change. You reset up your framework, and I always see it as a cloud. I have a framework. And then outside that framework is this big cloud myth. And that cloud kind of dissipates.

Yeah. Yes. Okay, so there you go. The thinking is where you have gelled a certain part of the Woo that you feel comfortable with. This is your little bit of Woo soup that you feel comfortable with.

On the outside of that is the Woo that is out there. And that's unknown Woo is all about discovery. And discovery only lasts as long as it lasts because you can discover something and then almost immediately discover something that invalidates what you just discovered. Discovery is not meaning that it is truth or that is valid or perpetual or worth looking at. It just means that you found it, you can analyze it, and then you can go on from there.

So this is the weird part for everybody now. So our social order is breaking down. The reason it is breaking down is because the Woo is intruding through the framework. Because the framework was built of lies, and initially it had been built solid, and then eventually all the wood in the framework rotted. And it was placed with this earsats paper and paper machete.

It was like tofu construction in China where it's not really cement. You're not really sure what that stuff is, but it's crumbling underneath you anyway. And so we're at that point where the framework had been eroded by all of the lies and now the lies can't stitch it together anymore. There's no there and so they are crumbling. We have reached a point in these last couple of days where I'm saying that it was in the last 12 hours, but it was probably in the last couple of days for sure, in which the overwool will totally smash the framework and it'll just go floating about and drift off and we're going to have to clean it up.

And the normies, the normal population is now going to be put into this position of having no perceptual anchors. And so this is going to be a very dangerous period of time. I do not think it will be turned the way that the same period 100 years ago was turned and they made Germany into the Nazi state. I think that, in fact, those people that made Germany into the Nazi state and got us into the war the Prescott Bushes that were financing Germany from the United States and the complicit senators and all of that all of those kind of people, I think, are in the process of being thrown out of the social order out of participating in the social order as a direct result of our entering into the age of Aquarius. And I'm taking as the entry point December 20 eigth when we had this grand conjunction and all the planets moved over onto the same side of the cone that we follow in behind the sun.

And so all of our energies, all of our mass, everything was concentrated in this one area. And so it changed everything. That was the real tipping point. We small humans are just now experiencing the tipping point created by Saturn and Jupiter, right? That kind of thing.

And so our world is upending and the poor normies are being cast adrift. The problem at this point is that without leadership, the normies will gravitate to any leadership, good or bad. Right? But the good part is that the overwoo is showing the perpetrators of the lie, the builders of the false framework for who they are. And we're seeing evidence of that now.

Look at how the mainstream media has turned on Biden, okay? It's not just that he screwed up, right. There was another subtle twist in there. If you listen to the language that the individual people are using when they're out there getting on his case where know, Biden could do no wrong, right. The words they're using are betraying a level of personal fear.

They sniff the change in the wind. They know that the social order has changed and that they know that the devolution is in progress, that the Biden and all of those people that put him into power are on their way out. And the media fear the retribution that is coming to them. They're trying to save their butt is what they're trying to do. Many of them will hang.

I hope so. Well, look at this. Look at the people don't understand how well okay, so most individuals don't have first principles thinking and working for them. And so they won't examine an idea really thoroughly. They'll just get a hint of it the headline issue, right?

And so a headline is, Durham is investigating Russiagate. And so he's investigating and you read and he's investigating some political guys that probably put together this devious thing to get at their political enemy, one Donald Trump. And so Durham's investigating this, but people just don't quite understand that when they say he's investigating the Russia gate, that the media are culpable. Individuals within the media are culpable, and they will go down for it. They are being investigated as well as the political people that they had all those ties to.

And I'm of the opinion that within the last few days, an idea dawned. Piece of information was handed out because there are certain individuals that are really scrambling now, and they've totally changed their language. They've gone into CYA mode, and it will get a lot worse. This is a very predictable milestone in a progression that, once begun, can't be stopped. And we're in it already, so it won't be stopped.

So this is truly a fantastic time because for the Woo guys, right, because my whole thing was I'm glad I'm alive now because I have skills that will be able to aid me in poring through the Woo, searching for our true human history and the history of this planet. This information will be coming out now that the framework, the paradigm is falling away because that paradigm not only directed our attention over here and held it within this box, it was deliberately set up to obscure from us stuff that's out there in the Woo that's direct to us. So I'm fascinated about all the stuff that's hidden from us, about Antarctica, and I'm fascinated about all the stuff under the bottom of the ocean that's hidden and so on and all of this kind of stuff. And Tartaria, Tartaria, how could there be a huge empire just a few hundred years ago, according to the maths and stuff, and it not have relevance to us today. Something is really OD there, and I've heard multiple things on it, and I'm not sure if I believe some of the things that are coming out on it.

They were purposely hidden tateria because they corrupted it and wanted to keep it. I heard some weird things. I kind of think they're doing what they're doing to us right now. Like they destroyed that empire and then they covered it up, kind of like what I think they're trying to do what they did to Tateria, to us, and maybe I'm wrong. That's just a gut I have.

I have no proof. This is the thing, okay? So in the Wu, you don't have a whole lot of solid stuff to stand on, okay? And you're going to run into lots of interpretations that are inaccurate because of that. So you have to say, okay, there's evidence, and that's this building, that's this old map, here's some documentation, then there's everybody's opinions on that evidence and all their conclusions.

So if it sounds like a conclusion, I'm throwing it away at this stage, and I'm just looking at the evidence. What I like to do is say, okay, we've got buildings. We've got buildings that are covered in mud. We've got some old map fragments. Now, is there anything else out in our current society life now that would support that?

And so I go out, I look around, and curiously, or expectedly, there is, okay, so we have the empire of Tartaria. And do we have remnants of that empire in the peoples? Yes, we do, because we have the Tartars. We have the Caucus peoples, and the Tartars and the Caucus peoples had a particular history, okay? And so what is revealed if you go deep enough into the Tartars and the Caucus peoples, also called the Cossacks, okay, if you look into that, you're not supposed to talk about the Cossacks.

It was done away with in the Bolshevik Revolution. Why was this? Because if you concentrate on the Cossacks, you find out that the last or that the officialdom of the area, which was the Russian SARS, used the Cossacks to do what? Destroy the last of the giants?

Yeah, they destroyed the giants. I heard that.

Okay, so now if you go back to pre Russian Revolution and you root around in the documentation and stuff, you will find descriptions and drawings, because it was back into the 18 I want to say 1880s or 1890s, you will find drawings of Cossacks bringing caged giants to the Tsar. Isn't that crazy? There's newspaper clippings from here with giants and bones and things, right? And actually, here's something else. I had a relative in the Depression that was working, got his job through a casual association with somebody that was a freemason, and he made a dollar a day going out in terrible conditions and heaving giant sacks of bones, huge sacks of bones, off into the ocean, out of ships off the coast of California.

And these were the bones of giants. These sacks would have one or two femur bones in them, and it would take eight and ten people to lift them up and heave them over the side. And that's all they did all day long, was to heave this stuff over the side into the ocean, because this was found in California, and as the Mason said, it could not be there. So now, was Tateria a brutal regime, or was it? Just go ahead.

So I go and I look into what I know of in the way of records from the Byzantine Empire. Okay? Because the Byzantine Empire rubbed shoulders throughout the entire period of time for like, 1140 years. So they were the longest lived modern day empire around. And their records would seem to indicate that Tartaria was a remnant when they were growing up, so to speak.

All right? So the records that we have about Tartaria are, as an empire, are so minuscule and probably so deliberately destroyed and hidden that we have no real way of knowing what was going on there. We have to assume that their ethos is not ours. Just like in Justinian's time or any of these other times. They don't have the same kind of ethos as ours.

So to apply the word of brutal would be a conclusion. Right? We don't know. But we do know they were extensive. They were rich, they were into some serious mining.

They had some interesting building techniques that they got from somebody else. Because there was no sign of evolution of these techniques. It just suddenly started in their construction. We know that there's social order people that have a remnant of a Tartarian history just the way that we have Chinese now that are, in essence, the remnant of ancient Chinese empires. Right?

We have the Mesoamericans, the Mexicans are the remnants of the ancient Aztec Empire. That sort of a thing. So there is evidence for it. Why it should be obscured is a very interesting question indeed. Well, and is that why there's the Dark Ages or the Middle Ages is because there's something behind that.

There is more there. Go ahead. Right. That's the anatoly Fomenko. Okay, so there's this Russian guy.

This Russian guy is very educated. He's a mathematician. And he says, shit don't make can't. Shit just does not make sense in history. And so he set about this huge effort and lots of people came to him and they've been building on it.

It's an international effort. And they have discovered that if you were to look at King Lists, right, who inherited the country from who and was the king for how long and so on, there are duplicates of King Lists. Names are almost even the same. And so 1200 years of history and all these kings here is basically repeated here for the next section. So he thinks the Middle Ages did not exist.

And he has evidence to prove that the people we think of as running around in the little, like, from Hollywood, the funny little Roman skirts and stuff, the gladiators with their short swords and the little skirts and their tunics and stuff didn't happen. Okay? If you actually look at the representation of most of the Roman Empire, they were dressed in what we think of as medieval garb. Okay? So this 800 years, 900 years of history doesn't exist.

It was put in there. The reason it was put in there is because of this weird thing about humans we don't want someone else to have a one up on us. And so this Anatoly Fomenko and he's a brilliant researcher and I'm going to just encapsulate his conclusion into one kind of pithy little saying. And that is that one day a white guy ran into some Chinese fellows and the Chinese fellows said our empire is 6000 years old. And the white guy said, well, yeah.

And he says, well, my empire is 7000 years old. And neither one of them were factual, right? And so at some point it became sort of quasi official braggadatio and they just had to backfill the support. And they did that through the Jesuits. And the Jesuits have a history of altering history, okay?

We know that they are the ones that have been altering history for the Catholic Church for generations. And they have multiple accounts of history and they keep them all separate so they can build on them and they usually don't get too trashed up in it. So we know from Anatoly's work that this particular group of Jesuits in this particular time constructed 800 years of history which did not exist. And that's why we have the Dark Ages where there's no real there there. And that's why it doesn't line up with what was happening in Mesoamerica.

That's why we don't have the one to one. We don't have an accurate correspondence to Columbus coming here to North America and what he discovered here. Because all of our history has been lies. Yes. Right.

So did you know that the Chinese were on the West Coast when Columbus was in Hispaniola? No. Right. Chinese have been coming to California perhaps for one 5000 hundred years, intermittently. The only reason they never colonized the United States or what we think of as North America was because they were grossly out.

It's a huge distance to come. The Chinese are not logistically good sailors. They only had one giant expedition of exploration ever. And since then it was just little ones. And the fact that we had 60 million people living in the continent at that time and it was pretty developed.

They had developed cities, they had all sorts of stuff. Well, here's the thing no, they didn't. Okay, well, there were some cities. Well, that's what I heard. I mean, maybe that's bad information.

We have to be careful about that. Because here's the thing about the North American population. These individuals, for whatever reason and you can put on many different kinds of reasons they're not technologically bent, right? So they just don't go there. Africans are that way to some extent.

The Hindus are that way. They're very inventive and so on and into technology now. But in their ancient history or not ancient history, but I mean, in the modern ancient history of a few thousand years ago they were not. Really out there crafting new inventions, the way that we see in Europe and so on. They weren't driven by the extremes of environment that cause you to have to alter your environment in order to survive.

That's what makes you really an inventive person. So the people in North America didn't have the wheel. They had invented the wheel, but they'd never applied it to anything other than toys. So they didn't have chariots. They didn't have so you see the North American Indians pulling with their horses, pulling people on basically two sticks with some blankets through it, bouncing across all this stuff.

They didn't have wheels. They didn't build roads. They were not that oriented that way. That was not their relationship with living with the planet. And so they see that in us as a negative.

Right, because our relationship of living with the planet degrades the planet in their view, because we build roads, we cut down trees and so on. For instance, the natives around here at that time would go on out and only harvest what they needed out of a cedar tree in a particular way. And so in order to leave that tree to grow, so they would take a particular section of bark, cut out some of the wood, they would pack it back in, and then they'd put the bark around it, and the tree would recover. Same thing with the spruce and some of the others. So they had that kind of a relationship with the planet that did not make them technological.

So the cities and so forth that were here, which I grant you, there may be some evidence of that, because there is evidence of vast civilizations were inherited by these people, not created by them. Okay, well, that could have happened. And there's some facts that maybe Tartarians created it because some of the same architecture that they use. Yes, and screw the architecture, because that is really an aesthetic which can be copied. Sure, yeah.

But look to the actual building techniques. Well, that's maybe more yeah, more pertinent. Okay. But so there is that. And there's weirdnesses about North America.

We see in the journals of the original Founding Fathers where they came here in their first weeks and stuff. Here they said, this land has shown evidence to us daily of having been through a great catastrophe. And they also mentioned the giant bones they found and the big graveyards and no people and how the natives told them that the giants used to eat humans and all of this kind of stuff. Thomas Jefferson writing about this sort of thing. Right.

And so we see those kind of weirdnesses. We also find in small boat journals going back hundreds of years, we find that the whole Mississippi Delta, the area of Louisiana, all the way up through the Mississippi into the Missouri conjunction, was riddled with okay, that looked like Egyptian stell that were not wood. They were stone. They were foresighted. They had the pyramid top, and they had four faces, and they had, I think, two or three languages that were describing something that we didn't know what it was.

They turned out to be navigation markers. So I know of a journal, and I've got it around here somewhere in one of my many boxes of books. This journal has an article in it in which this guy is describing his great uncle's or great grandfather's sea captain's journal, where this guy was paid by what was going to be later the Smithsonian to go. And this would have been in the 1790s and through the 1820s. So for over 30 years, this guy made a living with his boat and his crew and wrote in his journal, and then this article was written about it, and he was paid to go and remove these stell from the collect them and put them in his boat, haul them back to Washington, DC.

From the Delta area of the Mississippi. And these stell were, by the way, one of the languages was Hertic, which is a form of Egyptian so. Why do you mean so? They made an effort to hide the history of North America, the true history of North America. I think the history of Antarctica is somehow tied to the history of North America.

And maybe I'm wrong, but something happened. And I also think Tateria is connected to all this stuff as mean because Antarctica has pyramids. And you're the one that told me this pyramids that are so huge they have doors for giants, which is probably this giant race that got or somebody else. Yes, somebody else from somewhere or whatever, or maybe it was spaceships wanted to fly in. Who knows, right?

But since then, it's come out through the Google Earth and through all of these researchers that go and risks snowblindness. Looking at satellite photos of Antarctica, they found tons of stuff, including things that are like 20 story spires or like a 20 story needle apartment building kind of a thing sticking up out of the ice. And if you go to some of these other channels, like Bruce Seesall and Mars Anomalies, there's guys there that have contacts with people that have been to Antarctica, that have provided them with pictures of stuff that in the distance. Those are not mountains. Those are human creations, or somebody created these structures, and we think of them as a mountain.

And you can clearly see that it is not that. It's some kind of an artificial thing that had been built. And so Antarctica is truly amazing because in the 1970s, there was military expeditions that were run by the US army. And within the US. Army there was a subsection that had to do the work, and that was a subsection section of the infantry.

And my father was an officer in the US army infantry, and he was at one point, given these four eight millimeter movies 435 millimeter movies. They were on small little reels, though. And all we had at that time was an eight millimeter home movie camera kind of thing. And my dad had to go rent a projector and so on to show them to us. And I watched them maybe three or four times when I was a kid.

I was probably sorry it wasn't the 70s, it was in the 50s. Sorry, I was going to say the 70s. Wow, there's more expeditions. Okay, no, that makes sense. But I saw it in the 60s.

We watched those movies in 1968 in Virginia, and in those movies there was one long one and three small ones, and in one of them, the guy was saying actually had sound with him, and they had professional Army PR guys that were as the anchor or the describer or whatever you want to say, the personality. And he was taking him through and off in the distance, you see this giant black mountain, and you see these little trucks and stuff down at the base of it. There's no snow anywhere, anywhere in these films, by the way, in this one particular film. And he says, oh, yeah, look at this. And he holds up this lump of coal, this lump we don't know what it is.

It's very round, it's very shaped, it's not irregular, it's very black. And he says, this is the hardest cleanest burning anthrocyte that can be found, according to the scientist. He gives off a bunch of statistics about it, and then he says that's what that mountain is made out of, just sitting there. All you have to do is scoop it up and take it. You don't have to mine it.

So there is a conical shaped mountain of coal sitting in Antarctica. And the guy says in this movie, he says, this was in the 50s, so our population was smaller. And he said Scientist so and so estimates that there's enough coal in that one mountain to supply all of the United States's energy needs for the next 200 years. Wow. Okay, so I've seen some clips of Antarctica where people are swimming in hot baths, and there's so much more there.

And when they had all the world leaders, a bunch of world leaders went down there right about the time that Trump won. It was like they all met. It's almost like it's a headquarters for something. Exactly. And that was part of is the this is the weird, terrible thing we're at right now.

Okay? So all of the world is living in Devolution. So we've had an evolutionary process relative to government that's gone on for all of my life. It's getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and growing and morphing and so on. Now we're coming into Devolution.

So all of government is going to disappear over these next 18 or 20 years, and we'll keep what we need and throw away the rest. This is happening because of the nature of that government is inimicable to humans. In my opinion, it is easiest to just simply categorize it as being run by the mantids. And it is my opinion that there is a being, a thing that is giving instructions, and people go to Antarctica to receive instructions and to have their minds altered. Okay?

And so these people go there specifically for that purpose. They went there after around the Trump time, once he came into power, because Trump was a pivotal wedge that disrupted the evolutionary growth of the government up to its ultimate end, which would have happened by 2024. So, okay, was a spoiler. He was a disruptor, disruptive influence. Right.

A change agent is how we refer to it socially. Someone had selected Trump to be the agent of change that was necessary. That change was coincident with our moving into the Aquarian Age. I believe that was planned. I believe that what we're experiencing now would not have happened two years ago would not have happened five years ago because of the energies of that time that it had to happen now, and that the planners were astute.

Enough to coincide to sync up their efforts with the slide into the Age of Aquarius because of the energy that it provides all of humanity as well as their efforts. And so when they went down, so when Trump becomes president, that totally came out of the blue. It disrupted it. They had cheated so well, they knew they were going to win, just like they've been cheating since 2004 and so on with these machines. Right.

There's evidence of this. People have been discovering this evidence and they have set these plans in motion to create a state of devolution. In devolution. The idea is that we will dissolve away functionality from those that we wish to isolate. And so we basically dissolved the government away, leaving Biden and the other puppets up there and fully exposing the people that pull the puppet strings.

And therefore the mass of the people of the country, of the world can look up and see how they've been manipulated and then they won't go along with it anymore. So this is a particular kind of a magic technique. This is a demystifying magic technique where I was going to say, don't you think they did it to themselves with this vaccine? Because suddenly people are going to say, no, this is so much bigger than that. That is simply really because with people dying in mass, it's going to be I know there's all these other things, but people have to go, screw you, we got to figure this out.

Correct. And they will be doing that, and many people will stop at that level and exist at that level. But the woo is deep and is ancient. There's stuff floating out there that we need to examine that's going to be floating up at us here. So that is just an aspect, not even really a dominating aspect.

Okay. This is a war. You can characterize it as a spiritual war. You can characterize it as a war against good and evil. You can characterize it as a war to liberate humanity from the globalists.

You can also, in my mind, characterize it as a war to liberate humanity from alien influences. The beings that they think are Satanic, the ones that they're taking direction from, that they think is their God. Correct. Okay. I think they've been duped by these other beings or some other bad guy and they think it's God.

No. Okay, so I don't think that these beings are consciousness. These beings are not the creators of the universe. No. Okay, go ahead.

Okay. And the globalists, but the globalists believe these beings. They may indeed some of the globalists may be so naive and stupid as to believe these beings to be the creators of universe. Right? But the others, I think, are just Lucifer, right?

And they're sympathetically vibrating to what these beings are able to enhance. Okay, so here's the way of our planet. If you have an idea that is set in your mind and you set that idea hard enough and put all of your life force behind it, you can manifest that idea. It doesn't matter what it is. It may only be able to be supported by universe because it's so weird and twisted for a brief minute, but you could do it, right?

On the other hand, if you were to try and manifest something that was harmonious to universe, you're going to get a lot more support from universe in doing that. But it is the putting that thought into the matter, the condensate energy that makes it actually happen and manifest. Now this is because we are energy. We are vibrating energy just sitting here quivering. Our quivering is in sync, patient is in sync with the universe.

And that quivering powers our pulse, our thoughts, our sweat, the chemical reactions in our body, everything, our emotions, all of that is all energy. It's all frequency. These beings have the ability to see us with senses that we do not have. These senses that they have allow them to see in through our flesh, to see in through the barriers to our eyes. Because we only see that that is reflected.

We can only see reflected light. These beings can see origination of light. They see the biophotonic in us. So they can see our various millions of vibrations that are in us that cord together to form our energy bodies. And we have some people that can do that, like Sherry Edwards or can hear hundreds of times better or I mean, there's people that are able to do that.

Go ahead. As a result of my enlightenment experience, I see auras. It's just a pain in the fucking ass because I get emotional impacts from auras. It's great. If I'm in an Aikido, dojo I'm very good at that because I can see the aura which is ahead of the thought.

I can react without having to have a thought because I'm reacting my aura to them. So I'm very powerful and very fast. Right. Because there's no thought involved. I haven't been able to eliminate that process.

But yes, we have people that can do that, but these beings have one more beyond that. Yeah, they have other capabilities. Okay. There's one other one that is key and that is resonance. Okay?

So if we were to take a clock and it's got a pendulum, and you put it on a wall and you put another clock with a pendulum on the wall and you set it to a different set of stroke, at some point they will become resonant and they will both be penduluming. They will both be swinging at the same rate. These beings have the ability to push through your energy bodies with their key, with their life force and push on your energies until they set up a vibratory resonance that then they can draw you into them to the thoughts and the grosser forms of it all, the negative kind of ugly. It's easy to see. Right.

Okay. So it's easy for them to see that in individuals, to see that negative force and it's easy for them to manipulate. That's why all of the sociopaths, the psychopaths and the pedophiles are their victims, so to speak. Right. And so vampires, energy vampires don't go after regular people.

I'm impervious to it. Right, you're impervious to it. They can't really do this kind of stuff to us. They freak us out and so on, but they're not going to be able to energetically motivate us the way that they do these other humans. And they have put those other humans through their manipulation over the course of centuries into positions of power to generate this point where we are at now.

And they're in the process. They have basically been running for a couple of thousand years a human farm and they're harvesting. So the ones who are dying have been diluted to taking the shot by the psychopaths that have been had that resonance. So these beings through the psychopaths, through resonating, all the psychopaths all around the planet, look at how it's all global Chinese, everybody, all the governments are out trying to vacci people. All the governments are controlled and they're all resonating on this same pulse.

And that pulse, even though it goes through the government has still been sufficiently strong enough to get billion or more people vaccinated or dead through the clot shot. And that's how it works. Yeah. And the thing that is so disturbing is so much of our family and our loved ones were duped into it. Right.

So we are in a situation. That's why I know you've said this is going to be a very dark time. I am just convinced that there are some positive things we can do to keep them from getting sick and to reverse it for not everybody, but for small groups because not everybody's even going to listen to us. But there is a way to do some there's hope, I think, but not without hope. Yeah, I think there's hope, but I think it's so disturbing because when we are talking about massive and I think that's part of now, do you think that the saline solution or the placebo was given to some of these bad guys?

Because why would they kill off they're not going to kill off their own troops. Well, first off, the beings that are organizing it don't care.

Do.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Bold is a radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.


Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This is the July, 2016 ALTA (Asymmetric Linguistic Trends Analysis) Report. Also known as 'the Web Bot' report, this series is brought to you by halfpasthuman.com.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

4th Turning

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

The TRUE story of Nikola Tesla - by Lt Col Thomas Bearden - 1990's

The TRUE story of Nikola Tesla - by Lt Col Thomas Bearden - 1990's

Episode Summary:

Tom Bearden, a retired lieutenant colonel and researcher in aerospace, discusses his admiration for Nikola Tesla's genius and groundbreaking inventions. He details Tesla's grand vision for wireless energy, the promising and ill-fated Wardencliffe project, and his relationship with financier Morgan. Despite Tesla's revolutionary ideas, he faced resistance from the scientific community, misunderstanding from financiers, and some personal flaws that contributed to his fall from grace. A combination of Tesla's arrogance, resentment from academics, misunderstandings of his work, and his gambling on Wardencliffe led to his downfall, despite his profound contributions to electromagnetics and energy.

The text discusses Morgan's decision to cease funding Tesla's work, leading to the failure of Tesla's projects. Morgan considered Tesla's efforts a bad investment as Marconi seemed closer to success in wireless transmission. Tesla's later life was marred by misunderstandings and idiosyncrasies, with the scientific community labeling him as a kook. The author explores Tesla's insights into electromagnetics, challenging conventional models and emphasizing Maxwell's original theories in quaternion algebra. The text also delves into wave theories, highlighting Tesla's belief in longitudinal sound waves, contrasting with common scientific understanding, and suggesting a need to revisit Tesla's perspective.

The text discusses the nature of waves, contrasting the theories of Nikola Tesla with conventional wisdom. It explains how waves exist as both longitudinal and transverse forms, debunking popular misconceptions. The author emphasizes Tesla's correctness in understanding longitudinal waves in the vacuum, contrasting with Maxwell's assumption of transverse string waves. The passage also elaborates on Tesla's wireless transmission of energy and his understanding of the electromagnetic wave. Modern quantum mechanics and theories of force-free fields are referenced, bringing Tesla's ideas closer to contemporary scientific thought. The text asserts that Tesla's discoveries are in line with nature and can be applied to transmission with minimal loss.

The text discusses Tesla's pioneering work in nonlinear optics, particularly in the area of phase conjugation and self-targeting. It describes how Tesla's principles apply to various frequencies and wave types, allowing for precise focusing of energy. The author speculates about Tesla's possible involvement in the Siberian explosion and contrasts Tesla's clean electromagnetic energy methods with traditional nuclear power. The author reveals that he has been working on similar principles to Tesla, using longitudinal waves for energy transmission, and has recently filed a patent on this creation. The text also emphasizes the significance of Tesla's theoretical frameworks in understanding complex phenomena.

The text describes the concept of Displacement current and its division into two components. It details a barrier technology invented by Bill Fogel that conserves energy while avoiding work loss. The principle is likened to a heat pump, and the text connects to Tesla's theories of energy extraction from the vacuum, possibly hinting at free energy machines. It also discusses the potential weaponization of Tesla's works, mentions the involvement of Russians, and references historical contexts like World War II, atomic bombs, and Stalin's strategic plans. The tone indicates a belief in the untapped potential of the mentioned concepts.

The text discusses the Soviet Union's vigorous search for scientific breakthroughs, with a particular focus on nonlinear mathematics and the development of superweapons. It emphasizes how they scoured Western literature for insights and developed unique insights into the nonlinear aspects of physics, contrasting this approach with that of the U.S. The author also highlights the fall of communism, mentioning the increasingly dangerous world with the proliferation of nuclear weapons and new scalar electromagnetic weapons. Three other hostile nations are working on these Tesla weapons, and the potential for energy manipulation and time effects creates an even more frightening future scenario.

The text emphasizes the urgent need for advancements in clean energy and medical treatments. It highlights the failures of allopathic medicine and discusses experimental treatments involving electromagnetic extensions influenced by Tesla's work. A key example is Antoine Priori's research on curing terminal tumors in animals. The text also speaks of the suppression and destruction of Priori's work by political forces. Additionally, it explores the mysterious "woodpecker" signal transmitted by the Soviets on July 4, 1976, which may be part of a scalar interferometry weapon system. The innovations in both energy and medical fields are connected to the principles and inventions of Nikola Tesla.

The text discusses the possibility of Tesla weapons systems, specifically focusing on the evidence tied to woodpecker signals and the work of a Soviet physicist named Koznashev. Koznashev's experiments suggest the ability to transmit diseases electromagnetically, with replications in various universities. Mention of incidents involving ionization devices and an emphasis on the implications of using scalar transmitters is also discussed. The text raises concerns about the use of such technology for mass population warfare and the spread of diseases, connecting it to broader topics of nuclear and biological warfare. The danger of such weapons falling into the hands of irrational or smaller nations concludes the discussion.

The text discusses the emergence of dangerous weapons and technologies, referencing Tesla's work and developments in electromagnetics. It emphasizes the immediate threats posed by these advancements, including biological warfare and the application of weapons by irrational groups. Alongside these dangers, the text also explores the potential for positive applications, such as the gradual elimination of fossil fuels through over-unity electromagnetic devices. The ethical responsibility to use care with these technologies is emphasized. Finally, the text reflects on Nikola Tesla's unique ability to visualize systems and the context of his work, questioning how his groundbreaking inventions could be lost or abandoned.

The TRUE story of Nikola Tesla - by Lt Col Thomas Bearden - 1990's

Well, my name is Tom Bearden. I'm a retired lieutenant colonel presently also rather suddenly retired from aerospace. With the aerospace step down widespread throughout the country, I've been doing research for many years into several areas. One on some of the work of Nikola Tesla. One on the area of trying to produce both a theory and some practical results for overunity electrical machines.

Small amount of work in antigravity and then some medical applications, primarily in a new kind of electromagnetics. I once said Tesla was a dichotomy. Certainly Tesla had certain idiosyncrasies which have been played up. Usually any creative genius does if you accept those and don't dwell on those. Tesla was a magnificent genius, in my opinion.

I think he was so far ahead of his time and what he could do and what he understood not necessarily in the language and the phraseology we use today, but in his own language and his own phraseology. I think he was well ahead of the times, 100 years ahead of his times. And maybe in this conversation we'll even go into that. If Nikola Tesla is what you said he is why is he so relatively unknown to the general public through a whole series of events? Tesla, in his life story, admitted one time he had been a gambler and then he quit because he was compulsive gambler.

The last great gamble that Tesla took, he lost. And that, of course, was his great installation on Long Island Wardencliffe. He had, at that time put everything he had into, you might say, one kettle. It was funded by Morgan. There was some struggle between Morgan and another financier who were in a great struggle with each other.

It affected the stock market. It created inflation and everything. Plus, Tesla had done a very strange thing as a gambler. He knew that Morgan would never give him his $150,000 that he needed to do the installation that he really wanted to do, which was going to cost more than that by some amount. So he had designed a smaller installation of two transmitters.

When he briefed Morgan and he briefed him only on the communications aspect of it, tesla had foreseen, as many people had at that time but he had clearly foreseen the broadcast industry sending pictures and sound and music and so forth and information through the air. So Morgan financed the $150,000 based on communications. Only Morgan knew of Marconi's work and some others who were racing to try to be the first wireless, as they called it in those days. Morgan was he didn't care about all the finesse and so forth. He was strictly a financier.

He was strictly interested in making money. And he knew this new area was going to go and going to make money, a lot of money for whoever got there first. And in his opinion, tesla had the best chance to get there first. So that's why he backed Tesla. Tesla, however, was even more interested in doing a worldwide energy system to provide energy that would be very cheap for everybody in the world, anywhere on the Earth.

And so the actual installation that he started building was this giant installation, so well known to the Tesla fans and people who read of Tesla and the struggle between Morgan and his counterpart. His counterpart almost bought Morgan's Railroad Company right out from under him. He bought, in fact, control of the voting shares of the preferred stock, but not of the common stock. And Morgan issued orders from Europe to buy all the stock that could be bought at any cost in one day. The stock made astronomical jumps.

The whole stock market went crazy. We don't have anything like that in our time. Inflation became suddenly rampant. Parts and electrical things went up three times, for example, and suddenly everybody furnishing parts. There was a panic because of the money shortage and everything, and the stock we would today call it a crash in other stocks.

So what happened is they began demanding all their money up front to the very beginning. Are you saying that Tesla was forgotten after Wardencliffe? That it was Wardencliffe that ruined his reputation? Well, it was a combination of events. There were many people who resented Tesla, particularly among the academic community.

Number one, they didn't understand at all how he worked. He didn't have the academic credentials, what they regarded the high academic credentials they had. He, of course, had academic credentials. He certainly had been very vocal. That the common electromagnetic theory, which he usually referred to as the Hertz theory and the Hertz waves, since know, proved the Maxwell predicted wave, tesla was adamant that there were no transverse Maxwell Hertz waves in the ether and that he, Tesla, was not using that kind of theory at all.

That theory was very limited and did not apply to what he was doing. In other words, what he was saying to the entire scientific mind of the day was that what you're doing, gentlemen, is erroneous, not only that I'm proving you're an error, but because he had become a household word, when you do, you become a single name Tesla, not Nikola Tesla, you see. And because of this kind of effect, he had become essentially the great wizard. He had given us the AC power system and everything. And there was a great deal of resentment for what they regarded as an upstart inventor who was, in fact essentially saying, I'm going to usurp your science.

They would interpret it that way. Not all people were detractors, but many were. He also was not a great theoretician. He didn't fill up books with great theories and full of mathematics, and so he just didn't practice the game as it was being practiced. He was ostracized, I think, primarily because of his difference and because of his radical statements and because of his pronouncements of great systems, they didn't have the foggiest notion of what he was talking about.

He had one other unfortunate incident which today we would laugh at, but was very serious at the time. I think it was 19 one. I'd have to check my records. He picked up radio signals from space. We know today, of course, that planets, radiate, RF noise and so forth, but when he announced this, it just caused a sensation and all the scientists said immediately, what a kook, what an idiot.

So an unfortunate reaction occurred in the scientific community that he had to be an utter kook because everybody knew that there were no signals from space and that was an unfortunate timing and contributed to his demise. Nicolettesl also had an ego very big, and there's some argument for the fact that his ego or his vision of self may have undone him as well. Could you address that? Yes, that's quite true. He was arrogant.

He knew in his mind what he had done and what he could do. He had done the experiments, for example, in his few months at Colorado Springs, which proved that he was on the right path. And he was hastening back to New York to get the funding from Morgan and set up his warden, Cliff, and get on with doing the wireless, but also the other energy at the same time. He was going to do it all in one stroke. And when this panic came along and supplies went up and finally he made the final fatal mistake.

He briefed Morgan in desperation. That what he was really about, because he thought Morgan would appreciate that he simply did not understand. A financier who's not interested in all of that. But what is it going to do to make me money? There's nothing wrong with that.

I'm just saying that's the way Morgan approached it at that point, morgan also knew that Marconi was closing in on it and very close to transmitting wireless across the ocean, the Atlantic. So Morgan knew at that point briefed on what yet had to be done and how much money Tesla needed and all that. He knew the game was lost from a communication viewpoint that Marconi was going to be first. So at that point, Morgan in his own mind wrote it off as a bad investment going sour. And one thing he did not do was throw good money after bad.

A perfectly sound business decision today, we would say. So he simply wrote the project off. Tesla could never understand for some months thereafter what had happened, why he couldn't get the extra money. People began to quit work because he couldn't pay them. The suppliers wouldn't send him his supplies because he couldn't pay them upfront.

And the whole thing began to sort of grind to a halt. He did get the installation in operation, but he never succeeded at what he was doing, and by that time, Morgan was never going to finance him again. A combination of events then occurred within a few years of that to where suddenly things began to shift. The jealousy of the scientific community began to suggest that he was, after all, just a kook. Everybody knew that thing on Warden Cliff was foolish, and so he became almost a non person in the space of a very few years.

An older man living in a hotel room, feeding the pigeons with all his idiosyncrasies. He really did have idiosyncrasies. He had a morbid fear of germs. He would use something like 17 white napkins for a meal that he would have and meticulously lay one aside. Once he made the first wipe with it to wipe his hands or whatever, he had a lot of idiosyncrasies.

And of course, his autocratic pronouncements, as you say. His ego also was there. He also had quite an ego. And so people just shuttled him aside and said, well, he's at best an egomaniac who's mistaken, and at worst, he's just a lunatic. When they simply wrote out of the books what he had done, I focused in on the electromagnetics, because early on in my work, I also became disenchanted with the present electromagnetics model.

To understand Tesla, you must take seriously, I think, his suggestion that the present electromagnetics model is seriously flawed. Nobody wants to take that seriously. Most of the people who approach Tesla use the conventional electromagnetics, and when they cannot explain what he was talking about, they say, therefore, the man was a kook. Now, suppose for a moment that he really was correct. Suppose there is something wrong with the classical electromagnetics.

Of course you can use the classical model to do the things we do, but it means there are many other things that can be done that we cannot do, because we have excluded that part from our model and from our teaching and from our knowledge and from our instruments. Let's pursue that a moment. The original electromagnetics written by Maxwell himself was written in an algebra called quaternions.

What we mean here is a higher topology algebra in which you can do things in this kind of expression of electromagnetics that you can't do in vectors or tensors. Now, the real theory that Maxwell had, depending on who counts the equations and what they count, is something like 20 equations and 20 unknowns to give some numbers to it. When Heavyside got through, translating it into a much simpler algebra called vectors, which he helped create, and he wrote all the modern equations that are used as Maxwell's equations, not Maxwell himself. None of those ever appeared in anything by James Clerk. Maxwell, when Heavyside modified it to a much easier algebra called vector analysis, which he helped complete the algebra itself.

It consisted of some two equations or so with an extra equation thrown in, depending on the way you want to count that again, certainly if you want to count the full thing, four equations so you can see a remarkable reduction in the amount of variations of things you could do. And that's what I mean when I say we previously had an electromagnetics that permitted lots of functioning that is no longer permitted by the kind of electromagnetics we're all taught to apply and use today. It's a subset of what can be done. A scientist by the name Barrett, a very brilliant scientist, has done a very good analysis when Hertz announced his discovery of the maximum waves. It's in there if you read it.

But actually, Tesla went to Hertz to convince him of the error of his waves and showed him experiments and everything else to prove that the wave that was actually in the ether was not a transverse string wave, but in fact was what today we would call an longitudinal sound wave, a wave of refaction and compression. He did do that and was not able to convince Hertz. But Hertz was very disheartened by all this evidence that Tesla had given him, but never revealed what the evidence was. Let's look now and see if there's any room for what Tesla was saying. And I want to tell you a story of the greatest joke on all of science in all of history, because you'll never understand Tesla till you know this joke.

When they were trying to write the wave equation for the plucked string wave, of course they were studying plucked stringed instruments. You have a taut string suspended between two points on the body of an instrument and they simply plucked the string various ways and watched the waves. They then wrote equations for the tensile forces and so forth in the string. They isolated the string. They assumed that there's nothing else happening but the string and using the forces.

And they still teach the sophomore students to do it this way, they derived the string wave equation. First of all, there is no such thing as a tight string independently existing apart from a holder anywhere in the world. There never will be. There is, however, a tight string which has equal and opposite forces in the ends of the holder that's holding the string and creating the tension on the string. If you will apply the same approach and ask yourself the full question what system was perturbed?

It was not just the tight string. It was the tight string plus the body of the instrument. What comes about is that every transverse string wave that occurred the string, an equal and opposite, highly damped wave occurred down in the body of the instrument. Every guitar picker, which I'm a very poor one knows that the body of the instrument vibrates when you pluck the string. You depend on the characteristic of that for your sound.

What happened, though, by throwing away the holder and the anti wave in the holder? Every time a mathematician or a physicist writes a wave equation, he has thrown away half of the problem of the phenomena. The anti wave still exists, but he threw it somewhere, usually into a highly damp system and ignores it. The way he gets by with that at the end where he has now described his reactions with the single wave equation, the transverse wave equation, the other wave reappears, and he says, oh, that's Newton's Third Law reaction force, because it's always equal and opposite. Well, Newton's third law is not a law.

It's a description. It is not a mechanism for what causes something at all. If you add back in the wave that is missing, guess what you get? You get equal and opposite waves in the vacuum. These waves are, in fact, longitudinal waves.

They are more soundlike. And Tesla was right, and all the textbooks in the world are wrong. Now, let's turn that from talking sound. Let's turn it to electromagnetics. If I examine an atom and I see the complex assembly of dipoles, each dipole being The Electron charge and the piece of the positive charge of the nucleus, I find something very similar to the holder and the string.

That is, I have something very light, the electron which is perturbed, and I have Something Which is highly damp, the very heavy nucleus by the equal and opposite anti disturbance. And we still know that exists, but we call it Newton's Third Law. We just, invoke a Description, have no idea what causes it. But anyway, if the wave comes in from the vacuum and is intercepted by one of these dipoles, in addition to the disturbance, the string wave that we will see off of the electron end, we will have the anti wave, the recoil forces on the other end. And so always we get equal and opposite.

We do get the opposite wave. And what came in from the vacuum had both the separation between The Two charges caused The Separation Of The Two waves, just as the separation between the String and The Body of the instrument caused The Separation of the wave in any wave in the plucked string instrument. So we still have the same thing, and we still hold to the fact there is a longitudinal Wave in the vacuum, not just A single transverse wave. Now let us see what happens when we launch a wave now that we know that from an antenna. When I launch a wave from a physical antenna, the matter in the antenna is made of these same atoms and these same dipoles.

And in addition to launching the wave from the electron shells and the electron interactions, there is a highly damped anti wave launched at much less disturbance, highly reduced of the anti wave. But as soon as it emerges from the antenna, there is no longer any damping because there's no longer any heavy nuclear mass. And so immediately it pops to full shape and full size. And so we still have the longitudinal wave in the vacuum that we launch. Can I prove that in what we receive?

Yes, indeed, I can. And you must understand this if you ever understand Nikola Tesla. Now let me go to the reception of this wave in a circuit and I have some free electrons in my circuit. And in comes the wave from the vacuum. The electrons in the circuit are pushing against their brothers down the road, which pushes back, and it's restrained.

It had very difficult for it to move longitudinally. We know that today. We know that it only moves down the wire at something like 11ft/hour. The signal that moves down the wire at near light speed will have completely exited the solar system and gone on by that time. So, as you can see, we have a very sluggish electron restrained, which is spinning.

We know today when they wrote those equations, they didn't even have the notion of the electron. So it acts as a gyro and by gyro theory, right out of the book. When you longitudinally disturb a gyro that's restrained, it will process sideways. And all of our instruments measure and detect the electron precession waves. That's what we put on our oscilloscopes and what we read with our instruments.

And yes, indeed, gentlemen, we do detect the electron wiggle waves. And they are transverse waves. But a gyro reacts and processes at right angle to the actual disturbance, which proves that it is a longitudinal wave in the vacuum. If you do not believe that you must throw away all gyro theory. Tesla was right.

Every textbook in the US. Is Wrong. Maxwell simply assumed out of thin air, the transverse string wave, because that's what everybody was familiar with when he wrote the first equations. And it's never been changed to this day. So.

Was Tesla aware of this? And is this what Tesla was talking about when he talked about telephones? It was deeply involved in it. Tesla made several statements. For example, over and over where he said there are no transverse waves in the vacuum.

No hertz waves. The waves in the vacuum I have already proved, he said, is like the gas and the waves in it therefore are like sound waves. They are longitudinal waves. And he was indeed correct. Today.

For example, in modern quantum mechanics, there is a vacuum. It is a medium and it's a virtual particle flux. And so, indeed, the vacuum is a virtual gas by today's best physics. And Tesla was right. It is a longitudinal wave and I've just explained how it's split when it's received.

You do get what we measure with our instruments because of the electron precession and you also get the any wave at the same time proving that it was an extra wave there down in the nucleus in the materials which do recall and we just ignore it. We know it's there, but we just ignore it. Now, let's look, for example, at his statement of wireless transmission. Here. He was talking of the transmission of energy through the atmosphere or indeed, through space, without loss.

As a matter of fact. If that is true, then it already exists in nature. Tesla had rediscovered nature. As a matter of fact, today, in modern theory, we know that the energy in an electromagnetic wave transmitted is already conserved. If you take a wavelength at any length from an omni transmitter and you take the hemispherical shell of that wavelength times the entire surface area of that shell, the energy that's in that shell is the same as the energy in any other shell of any radius.

The energy is totally conserved and none of it is lost. We already know that that part is absolutely correct. The energy density course goes way down as the shell expands. So that part is unquestionable. Now, the question is, can we direct that and can we control it?

In a sense, if we do a laser beam, we do that. There's a better way to do it if we go to Whitaker's paper which was written in 1903 and some other papers have been written since then. Like by Zolkowski and by sue in 1993. Even Zolkowski in the strange thing comes about what we call the electrostatic scalar potential. That is pure voltage.

To simplify. It can be broken down into a bi directional set of wave pairs. One wave going one way, the other way. Time reversed and locked on it in space. So what we call just voltage or just potential has actually got a hidden set of incredible amount of waves going in both directions.

And not only we consider it just a fixed value at a point in space, but as a matter of fact, it's a tremendous energy flow. So what Tesla really discovered was how to combine the waves so that they eliminated the gradients. Technically speaking, the gradients opposed each other, but were still there. But now hidden the net gradient and the net force field was gone. We know today.

The other electromagnetics is still there. And we have an energy flow in both directions. So he simply found out how to do that. And yes, indeed, there is no loss in that kind of potential. If you make a beam of that, you can indeed transmit energy in a completely hidden fashion.

You can stick a normal meter right in the beam and it won't see a thing because there's no force field and you can transmit it at a distance. How effectively depends on the ability to make the beam how narrow you can make the beam and hold it together. And the other thing depends on a slight interaction with the atmosphere in the middle. You'll spill a little, but you can do it 98% or so, which I think is what Tesla said. Also, there's one other thing we must say about that.

There Is emerging In The Last Few years and Has Emerged in orthodox science at an advanced level what I would say is the very beginning. But it's moving pretty fast. Theory of force free fields and these are getting very close to what Tesla was doing. They haven't added the anti wave back in yet, but they're getting close. At least they're eliminating the overall force and doing something else with the electromagnetics that remains.

The other thing which must be brought to bear, and I must do this very precisely to understand Tesla is the fact that, for example, if you read Jackson and classical Electrodynamics, you will find when he's first setting out in the first so many pages, he points out very clearly that this theory, this very beautiful theory, only holds when the background is reasonably well behaved, reasonably linear. He points out that if the background becomes nonlinear that you must then turn to the emerging field or the field that has emerged in nonlinear optics. Nonlinear optics in some fashions is an unfortunate term because the mechanisms are fundamental. They apply to all frequencies and they apply to all kinds of waves. It's a matter of when the background gets sufficiently nonlinear to induce these phenomena.

So as long as you continue to try to keep the background linear which we're great at doing we try really to sweep out these phenomena. Tesla had stumbled into this area very early on and mastered part of this area long before the terminology I'm using existed. He knew how to do number one, what today we call phase conjugation. He knew how to do what we call pumped phase conjugation. And he even knew how to do what we call technically today amongst very few people self targeting.

So he had some tools at his fingertips which he could use on the lab bench and build equipment he worked on an enormous number of years on which could do things that the normal electromagnetics cannot do. We do some of them today in nonlinear optics. Now, let me talk about self targeting so you can understand some of his transmission without loss. One of the problems we have like, for example, in something like missile defense if I have a spaceborne laser, let me say, and I have a rising enemy booster 10,000 miles away I've got a problem. I've got lots of power.

I can put the laser beam onto the booster but I must hold it on one particular spot 15,000 miles away. On that exact spot, long enough time, called dwell time to burn through the casing and destroy the booster. So I have a problem. How do I hold this beam there and keep it from wandering around on the body of the booster? Well, it turns out you can do it very easily with a thing called self targeting.

Every signal that comes from there, if I phase conjugate and transmit a phase conjugate replica it goes unerringly back to the spot including it lead it a little bit because the component of its motion was on the beam that came to me. And so if I continue to do that, iteratively I can hold the beam exactly on the booster and burn through it. So by self targeting, I can hold a laser beam on a point. It doesn't have to be a booster, a defense or anything. I can hold a beam of energy onto a point that I have at a distance.

That's the main thing. By self targeting and in my own opinion, I reached the opinion that Tesla in his telegeodyodynamics, had discovered how to do that with the mechanical waves. First of all, he could transmit the full wave through the Earth and he could cause the thing when it came back to be face conjugated. Once he had a reflection from anywhere, he could narrow immediately into that point and put all his energy to that point. And today there is a theoretical basis for it.

I couldn't build such equipment, but I mean, there's a theoretical way to go to do that. And apparently, according to his statements, that's my interpretation of what he was doing, he was doing iterative phase conjugation, and therefore able to focus his energy regardless of what kind of route it followed, to the exact point he wanted it to go to on the other side of the Earth. But now, was this theoretical or was this ever demonstrated? I believe he demonstrated it. For example, my personal opinion and I certainly cannot prove this in the court of law and I want to label it as a personal opinion.

My personal opinion, because of certain time sequences of some of his statements and incidents which actually happened, I think as a last desperate measure, while his installation at Long Island was still intact and still in operation, I believe he fired the electrical pulse of energy that blew down that forest in Siberia. Oliver Nicholson has done some very good work, for example, to look at the admittedly circumstantial evidence. We can't prove it at all. I just happen to hold to the thesis that it was his last ditch effort to try to solve his problems that he'd lost with Morgan by focusing attention onto the absolute power that could be unleashed with this. And it failed.

Nobody was interested. I was very curious about the time correlation between his installation still existing on Long Island, still in operation, and this Siberian particular blast and its characteristics, which it was not a nuclear weapon, it was not a meteorite. So in doing a little work on that, thanks to Oliver Nicholson, he sent me some very good information on that. And it's not the kind of thing you can ever say with any certainty happened, certainly not. But there is at least circumstantial evidence that he may have done that.

In speaking of nuclear energy and Tesla's objection to it and some of the things he had in mind with energy, it's pretty obvious that Tesla. Not only Knew how, but advocated Very strongly that you could do this electromagnetically, and you could do it cleanly and cheaply without all the nuclear residue and the nuclear waste and the long term effects and this kind of thing. It's tough to dispose of nuclear waste. Now, I have mixed feelings on this. For example, I am a nuclear engineer.

I have a master's degree from Georgia Tech, but I'm not a practicing nuclear engineer, nor have I ever been. The army really didn't see fit to Let Me do that. Nonetheless, I know a little bit about what they're about and so forth. And a nuclear power plant is not a Great breakthrough in technology at all. It's a great heater.

And what we really do, we use the nuclear reactions to produce heat, and we either Boil water and make steam, or We Just Use The Hot water. And then it's the heat energy that we must convert to provide our electric power. Now, the demand for electric power is great enough. It's a Big enough problem, as everybody is aware, if we must continue to furnish this electric power at our present science level, there's no really acceptable alternative yet to the nuclear power plant. However, it doesn't mean that that's the preferable solution by any means.

I think it's preferable the Other way, which is why I work so hard to try to do it electromagnetically. Now, at this very conference that we're at, when this interview is being made, I'm going to introduce what is almost the final results of my 30 years of work in this area. And what we have done is very similar to what Tesla did, and he provided the codes, the clues on which to look. What I've done is taken him to heart and convinced myself with lot of investigation and study. The waves in the vacuum are longitudinal.

So when electromagnetic waves break loose from their mass restriction and holding, they are longitudinal waves. And when they get Tied up in mass, they get split into these two waves, which one of which is acting upon the electrons to cause them to move sideways. And they slip A Little bit every Once in a while down the wire, creates Newton's Third law reaction in the nucleus. Well, when you go through enough analysis of this, what you really find and what, as of Friday of this week yesterday, I have filed my associates, and I should say have filed a very fundamental patent on the creation. In a circuit of longitudinal waves to flow the energy freely, literally, in the Tesla fashion, and then use it separately in the load to power a load.

Technically, it's still called Displacement current. What we have done, we have split the normal current, technically DQ/DT, into two components, one being displacement current DPH DT, and one being that mass slippage every once in a while of these processing electrons down the wire. And what we really have done is used a barrier invented by Bill Fogel to stop the mass flow which is all the workflow the rate at which energy is being lost in the circuit. We allow only the flow past Fogal's semiconductor which is a patented device patented in 92. And then we use this free energy flow which does not disperse.

Conventional theory already recognizes displacement current as pure energy transport without losses. For example, the way to use it and I want everybody to know so they can check it. If I then run the displacement current through the primary of its step up transformer I produce ordinary garden variety magnetic field and store that free energy in that magnetic field that couples to the secondary which then couples to the electrons in that circuit through the load which are now free to move. I don't restrain them, and I pump the electrons through the load absolutely conventionally and do power in a load. So what I have is absolute conservation of energy.

But I do not conserve work loss, the dissipation of the energy. I take the energy in almost freely from the battery or power source. In this case, it would be an oscillator because I'm speaking AC. We can do a DC. I strip off and block the component of the current that's responsible for all losses in the circuit.

Then I take the displacement current and I gather it and store it, in this case, magnetic field couple it to the other side and discharge it through the load completely separately. None of my load discharge current goes back through my source. No degradation is done to the source. And yes, indeed, you can legitimately do over unity electrical systems. And it's exactly analogous to a heat pump which is a proven overunity system that we use in our homes.

I just told the world how to build a free energy machine, is what I told. Okay? Now, if we assume that what I've explained about the way we have approached the use of the energy which is freely available from the vacuum vacuum energy is now acceptable. Even physical review thanks to some fine work by people of the stature of Hal Putoff, for example. It's very straightforward, very technical and it's now an acceptable thing.

We know the vacuum and it is accepted. It's filled with energy. And Tesla always said that it was. So once again, Tesla has been vindicated by modern quantum mechanics after all of these years. I think if we look at some of the other incidents as for example, Tesla talked about being able to tap the energy of cosmic rays.

He talked, in fact, his nephew reported as a child riding in the car where Tesla had put in an engine of some kind which was self powered. So we find then later references to Tesla which suggest the harnessing of energy from today we would say from the vacuum. So does that sound reasonable to us today from where I'm coming from? Yes, indeed, because that's exactly what we have done. We take it in the potential across the source.

We simply use the hidden wave flow from the Whitaker stuff. We want to extract that and use it in this displacement current form while it's still energy flow and none of it's being lost. We do not wish to make work until we store it up and discharge it in the load separately. We do it just like a heat pump. And I really think that's probably the way Tesla did it in that car engine.

He also knew there was enormous energy in what was called cosmic rays, and he connected that with a whole idea of the energetic vacuum, we would say today. And I think that's just one of the ways he referred to it. For example, we know from T. Henry Moray's work that he was inspired by Tesla's statement that the energy of the ether itself was literally filled with rivers of energy, free for the taking. It inspired him and his great undertaking today.

The fashion is to sweep that aside and say, well, you know, I know what he was doing. Tesla just didn't know he was using this stuff that I know all about. And so I talk about the Earth ionospheric wave guide and resonance, and that's not what he was doing at all. You can't do free energy for the whole world with Earth atmospheric resonance. It isn't going to happen.

We know about that. It isn't going to happen. You know, another area that often occurs in discussions of Tesla is the notion of weaponization, of Tesla's true work that's relatively unknown to modern science, but could probably be known to some very sharp people that looked into it because they wanted to make weapons. Tesla certainly spoke of a very large series of very powerful weapons. I think that's a reasonable thing.

And let's approach it this way. Certainly I'm on record as saying the weapons exist and that several nations have weaponized them. Let me explain a little bit about what I'm talking about and a little bit key points where you might look. We know for a fact that, for example, T. Henry Moray with his power supply was visited by the Russians.

And we know that the Russians tried to, in fact, take it. They even tried to kidnap t henry Moray. And so we know that the Russians very early on were interested in things like free energy right out of the vacuum, and they were interested in weapons. There are even reports that they contacted Tesla, and I'm sure they would have. He certainly had plenty of headlines.

So if we have that, then as a starting point, we have a situation where in the late 30s particularly, and just prior to World War II, there was at least some kind of interest in contact. We know in the case of T. Henry Moore, they very probably got the exact blueprints how to build the device. Maybe a couple of things missing in here and there, but a really good lab could have eventually put it together from there. Then comes along world war II with a big interruption for everyone.

Okay? At that time, after world war II, we have a very strange situation which exists now. First thing that exists, we have suddenly thrust upon the world seen the atomic bomb. If we had not done so, we would have had a bloodbath when we tried to invade Japan. So many lives were saved by the use of the atomic bomb, and I am not an atomic bomb apologist.

Many people who are here today would not be here if their fathers had been killed by the invasion of Japan. And depending on who you believe, the casualties would have been about 1 million on our side alone. Anyway, we arrived at this state in the world where now there's a very powerful weapon which suddenly frustrates one of the things that Stalin has planned to do. Stalin, of course, had a spy in the atomic bomb project. He knew we were getting ready, so it wasn't a big surprise to him at Pottsdam when Truman told him that we had just exploded the first atomic bomb.

But he had been planning after Europe, after the European war and everything wound down, he would hold his armies for about two years. We always beat our swords back into Plowshares and go home. Historically, it's the last war. Never going to be another one. Unfortunately, human nature doesn't change, and so there is another one.

And Stalin in about two years, would keep all his armies intact and simply take over Europe in about six weeks. That was his plan. However, now he couldn't do that, because if he masked his forces, we would have bombed him back into the stone age. So he had a problem. There is at least a reason to believe that stalin called in his scientific heads when he got back from Potsdam and really laid the law down to them.

He said, the destiny of communism has been frustrated by this great new American development. That isn't going to be the last great breakthrough. But I tell you, gentlemen, one thing. The next one is going to be soviet. So he forcefully ordered them to search for the next great area, in my opinion, to look for for that breakthrough, because thereafter you find soviet scientists combing through everything.

For example, they took the entire scientific literature of the west, loaded on copies onto boats, took it back to Russia, set up huge translations, institutes staffed with very highly qualified scientists, and their job was to go through, look for anything anomalous. The anomalies they laid aside. Then they went through them with a fine tooth comb to see what looked promising. And of course, they would have found such things. We've never done anything like that.

They would have found such things as the whitaker papers. A lot of marvelous things I haven't even found yet that's in the literature that nobody's ever paid an attention to. So my thesis is that that's what happened. They started into this area for building a new superweapon immediately after World War II. Certainly they would have resurrected this More stuff they had gotten out of T.

Henry Moreay's lab through their agent. They would have probably resurrected other things. I don't even know about that's. Just conjecture, but probably so. At any rate, they did start such a program.

The Russians have always been the greatest nonlinear mathematicians in the world. They were at the beginning. They are to this day. And so they would have seen much more clearly into the nonlinear aspects of everything we're talking about than American scientists had seen to date. Which means they would have picked up what today we call the optical type functioning, which means they would have picked up the longitudinal waves.

They certainly falsified general relativity theory only later, many years later, they openly publish the fact that it's wrong and show why it's wrong and become recognized critics of the conventional general relativity in this country. We did exactly the opposite. We defended it to the last man. So they went much deeper, I think, during this period into these areas than we did. And I think they started building because, as you know from my own previous publications, I put together independently a rather large body of evidence, admittedly circumstantial, but real nonetheless.

That can only be explained by the testing of such weapons. There is absolutely no other explanation for it. Now, I could be wrong on one incident, but 200 of exactly the same kind, I think not. So the evidence is overwhelming. You even hear now, their own leaders, like Zaranovsky recently has referred to these weapons as the Ellipton weapons.

There is no question today that the Soviet Union has these weapons. And if what I put together is correct, and I'm absolutely convinced it is, three other nations of the world also developed those weapons and resoundingly checked the Soviet Union. The other three are friendly to the United States, not hostile. And I think that played one great part in the fall of the Soviet empire because their original target date, as I brought out, had been 85 to achieve the freedom to move and do what they wished in the world in 1985. And they met the schedule, as I've adequately reported.

But once checked then we have a very strange situation now. Communism falls because of its financial shortcomings, and they just flat can't keep it glued together anymore. And in the dissolution here, we have entered what I think is a much more dangerous world than anything we ever thought of. Three other nations today are indeed working on what I call the Tesla weapons or really scalar electromagnetic weapons. And these nations are not really friendly to the US.

At all. So it's a much more dangerous world that has emerged. The nuclear control that was executed by the Soviet Union has now probably been diluted. If you're careful, you can hire some Soviet scientists right off the project. Many nations today are developing nuclear weapons and they don't have to go through the pain we did.

They're hiring people who already know how to do that and have done so. So very shortly you will see emerging throughout the so called Third World, as it's so loosely referred to, you will see nuclear weapons. You will see the extended scud, for example, being developed in North Korea aided by the Chinese, and it's being expropriated to the Mideast. And in my opinion, you will see a nuclear and biological warfare in the Middle East in three or four years, somewhere on that time range, I could be off a year or two, but it isn't going to be forever. So to me, it's a much more dangerous world that we live in.

Particularly if we see the advent in addition to the nukes and the biological warfare, which is certainly frightening enough, if we see the advent of several other nations now possessing weapons of the ilken power spoken of, although at a little bit obligedly by Nikola Tesla. I would like to explain the basis for the weapons because it's open. If you take the two papers by Whitaker that I'm so fond of quoting and all my stuff, you will find that the first one tells you if you do it in reverse, tells you how to make, if you wish, a scalar beam by simply assembling the necessary wave set. The second paper will tell you that if you then take two such scalar beams, actually hidden multi waves and interfere them at a distance, yes, scalar interferometry really exists. It's just really multiple wave interferometry.

When you understand the wave sets, what will occur at a distance will be the reappearance of the electromagnetic gradients, which we call force fields. In other words, you'll create the electromagnetics at a distance if you bias your ground potential of your transmitters higher than the distant focal point, what we call energy heat energy, exhaustion of energy, which should be called work heat energy will emerge in the other area and scatter at that area. Energy will go in here and scatters work out the other end. It's just like you had a direct pipeline at the distance. Is this indicative of Tesla?

Of course. If you bias your projectors the other way, the energy flows in the other direction. In other words, you extract energy from out there and the energy you have to do something to collect and dissipate the heat back at the transmitter end. Every transmitter is now a two way transmitter of energy. I can make it go in one direction by biasing or go in the other at will.

The weapon implications of that alone are extremely frightening and extremely powerful. And now several nations are involved in developing it right, straightforward to the hilt. Very shortly we will have an even more frightening world emerging. The other thing you can do with it, which I think Tesla alluded to, at least in a few cases when you do these things with the potentials rather than with the force fields, you actually involve time. You produce time effects or you can produce effects on anything that exists in time because you affect the time dimension.

When you do this, you can affect thought and you can affect human beings where they live because thought occurs in time. It occupies time. It's just not spatial, but it is timelike. As you can probably see. If indeed the world has already acquired several nations the ability to build the defensive weapons in the area that has been discussed here, the Tesla type weapons, then there's really no longer a great compelling need to do any further weapons work by any private citizen.

So there are some other very compelling areas, however, of great need for humanity that are directly involved with Tesla's approach and Tesla's work that cry out for research and development. Two of these areas are fantastic. We must have clean energy sources. We must have some source to provide our needed electrical power cleanly and freely without polluting this entire biosphere. Everybody's concerned with that.

The way to do it is not to put in harsh laws that stop all workers and everything like this and go into absolute dictatorship. That's not the way to do it. The way to do it is to do it scientifically by striking for a great new breakthrough to where it can be done and done cheaply and cleanly. So that's one area that is important and deserves the utmost effort that can be put on it. Another area that is assuming ever more increasing urgency is the area of the medical needs.

Allopathic medicine is failing. The bugs are all changing and they're becoming immune to all our antibiotics. The orthodox scientific people are saying this openly in their journals and their articles and their editorials. Even a newspaper and Newsweek and so forth are picking it up and writing articles about it. Within five years, you will have a serious risk of your life if this trend continues just to go to the hospital.

The number is already over 10,000 per year. I don't know the exact number since 92, but it's already well above 10,000 per year that die in the hospital because the infection that they have absolutely cannot be controlled. There is one kind of staff, for example, that nothing that we have will affect. And it has about a 30% lethality, I'm told. So three out of ten who contact that die in the hospital.

These kinds of things are increasing. You now have very well recognized scientists in the regular medical scientific community saying allopathic medicine is failing and there's nothing to replace it. You cannot develop the vaccines or new compounds fast enough to even keep up with them. We have lost that battle. We must change the medical approach.

The medical approach. If you use the extended electromagnetics, if I may use that term that Tesla was talking about, there then occurs phenomena which can be used to control and change and heal almost any infectious disease whatsoever, including a genetic disease where the genetics have changed in the cells, such as AIDS. Now, that is not an idle statement. That is a very rigorous statement based on some very rigorous scientific work done in France in the late sixty s and early 70s by Antoine Priori and a team of scientists that gathered and worked with him. And these were eminent scientists world known.

For example, one of them was Robert Curier, head of the biology section of the French Academy of Science, and also the Secretary of Perpetual of the French Academy. At the same time poetryl an eminent scientist world known many such scientists worked directly with the inventor Antoine Priori. Priori completed his doctoral thesis, which was rejected because of the violent opposition of the medical establishment. But he demonstrated under rigorous scientific protocols that you could completely cure, almost with ridiculous ease, terminal tumors in lab animals. He did it hundreds of times under all the proper rigid controls.

I mean, Priori personally sent his own personal assistant to do the tumor graphs and ensure that everything was absolutely impeccable. Very simple. You take 15 rats, 30 rats, 15 each. One control group, one test group. All the rats get inoculated or engrafted with the same terminal tumor, they're going to be dead with 100% certainty in 30 days.

The 15 get treated, the other 15 don't. They stay in exactly the same room, same food, same everything. The 15 treated all get well. The 15 not treated all die. With another provision you can then take another group of 15 rats with the same tumors grafted to them.

You can take one drop of blood from each of the rats that got well and put in one of the other rats and they will all get well from that single drop of blood. The ordinary medical establishment was furious when they changed the setup of the French government to a leftist government in the mid seventy s. The Priori team was just completing a very large installation with permission to treat human patients with terminal cancer and leukemia and so forth. Now he surreptitiously treated some humans before and cured their cancers and leukemias. The problem was nobody could understand how it worked.

We didn't even have at the time the knowledge of this new parts of phase conjugate optics that we needed to understand it. It's no wonder they couldn't understand it, nobody could. And so when they suppressed that, they withdrew the funding from the project. It was funded by the French government. And when the government changed, they withdrew the funding.

All the work ceased. The equipment later was destroyed. Priori later died. At any rate, this is something absolutely legitimate. It did use the type of electromagnetic extension that I've talked about and if we open up that extension, there now is the explanation available of how it worked.

And yes, we can cure such diseases if a proper scientific development program can be mounted and funded and it will all be based in part upon the work of Nikola Tesla. Often there's been a great curiosity about this strange thing the Russians suddenly injected onto the world. They had done some pretesting. But suddenly, on July 4, 1976, for a bicentennial present for us, the Soviets opened up some great new transmitters in the communication band, which, because of the chirping sound and the sound just like a woodpecker's bill hitting a block of wood, was immediately dubbed woodpecker by all the ham radio operators who had it interfering with their communications. And so this was really massive communication, massive transmitters, lots and lots of power and nobody could figure out what in the world was going on.

It made no sense because certainly the signals as seen could do over the rise in radar work which you normally put in that same frequency band. But there were also apparently lots of characteristics which didn't fit what you would do if you were designing something with just over the rising radar at all be no need for such complexity. So there's been a lot of discussion on it and I guess the official realization was that calling it was to say it's just simply over the rising radars. Well, they built a lot of them. But if you look at it through the eyes of the scalar interferometry and I mentioned the two references and have cited them in various papers, there are other work along that line too.

If that approach is used in what seems to be what Tesla had done, if you use the Tesla approach to interpret it. Now one is dealing with scalar interferometry and dealing with something that can do some rather astounding potential weapon effects with the in Tesla interpretation. One of the things that would result from that line of weapons, assuming they are used as scalar interferometry weapons, one of the great things that would emerge from them would be to produce controlled energy at a distance. For example, great huge balls of controlled electromagnetic energy, or if you pulse it, great blasts of electromagnetic energy at a distance. I mentioned the business of biasing the transmitters where you can produce either heat like an explosion or you could produce a cold explosion, the sudden explosive withdrawal of energy from the distant area.

And in books cited incidents that are representative of what one would find if those incidents actually were occurring on that kind of scale. The incidents are there, they're real, they're documented, they're not just Tom Bearden. So there is a good solid set of admittedly circumstantial evidence that the woodpecker signals, because of all the phenomena that can be associated in the same time frame since they turned on these phenomena very strongly suggest that this set of weapons is not just over the rising radars at all, but are really Tesla weapons systems. And if they are, all the rest follows. They have one other frightening area.

If this thesis is true, that is almost mind boggling. There is a Soviet physicist, scientist named Koznashev. And Koznashev has produced a series of experiments in two Soviet military institutes before the fall there that showed that you could transmit any sort of disease form between cells, any sort of infectious disease, or you can radiate one sample with nuclear radiation, gamma radiation, for example, or deadly poison or infect them with viruses. You can transmit between cellular cultures into another cell, another sample from the same culture, the same disease, electromagnetically, although the organisms won't necessarily be there. That works in literature if you pursue it.

Koshnashev has several books out now that are available since the Russian system has loosened up a bit. That work has been replicated at the University of Marburg, for example. In Germany. It has been replicated University of Sydney and Australia. And it has been replicated by at least one researcher here in the United States.

He's trained to say if there are no force fields, there's no electromagnetics. He ignores the potential that's left. He just sweeps it away and throws it away from where we're coming from with the Tesla approach. That is the active part. That's the part that is being interfered within the bodies or whatever to cause whatever you wish to cause.

If we couple it with the cosnosiav stuff, we are saying that such scalar transmitters in interferometry within the US. Embassy could indeed have produced any sort of disease they wish. However, it would have very strange signatures. Let me explain the signatures and how such signatures actually came about. First of all, when Nixon went as vice president to Russia and this was first detected, he was going to visit some nuclear installations and they carried Geiger counters and it was detected on the Geiger counter.

It's an ionization device. It detects the ionization and discharge of its own gases. And anything that'll ionize its gas, it will detect. It doesn't have to be nuclear radiation. And so they thought at first that it was deadly nuclear radiation because all the counters went off.

Indeed it was not. They were irradiating the president with this stuff, with the Tesla stuff to see if we knew what was going on.

That's a beautiful intelligence probe. You pick out a high level target like the president or the embassy, you radiate and do some things that are obvious, not too bad, that are obvious so they can't be missed. And then you see what happens when the system goes bananas trying to figure out what's going on. And by their actions, there's no way to fake it. You either tell them you know what's going on by.

Your action or you show them you don't know what's going on there's no way to get out of it's 100% certain which very few things in intelligence are. However, if I go back to the embassy where many health changes and diseases and so for three ambassadors died of a leukemia like illness, eventually these diseases occurred only within the embassy in those areas where the force fields were absent and the potentials were there. And the Johns Hopkins researchers did a beautiful job. They were expert guys of establishing the force field electromagnetic pattern. And since not a single case occurred in that area that's by the normal electromagnetics then reached the conclusion that therefore could not possibly be the microwave radiation actually, that's a false conclusion.

If the radiation played no part whatsoever and you had that many changes occurred the ODS are extremely high that some of those would have occurred in the area where there were force fields and some didn't. Since that did not occur it is a 100% correlation to the Tesla area, to the area where the potentials existed and the force fields did not. And I'm sorry, they reached exactly the wrong conclusion because the model they applied failed them. These were able scientists using only the conventional model and the model actually showed that it was the other stuff but led them to conclude properly for their model that it couldn't possibly be the electromagnetics. That's just one instance.

So the woodpecker then would apply, be able to apply because of so many signals. The scalar stuff we might not even see with our normal detectors but yet it could do exactly the same thing, for example, in the United States alone. And what does that imply? If we are not too far out into left field here, if there's really a ground, as I've tried to describe here, if there really is a theoretical ground here for the use of those weapons in a Tesla mode, and the use of the Kosnashiev knowledge and experimental results in here, apparently confirmed by what happened in the US. Embassy then those radiators which are active to this day not in the conventional sense you got to have a different detector.

Those radiators could conceivably create within a mass population almost the instantaneous spread of mass diseases of all kind. They would be anomalous. You'd be dying, for example, a bubonic plague and you wouldn't have the organism. But it represents if that part is true it represents a biological weapon of incredible implications for population warfare. I hope to God I'm wrong.

I don't think I am. One of the questions for anybody who tries to take the Tesla view and tries to do it anywhere halfway scientifically, one of the questions that certainly comes out of all this other work on what kind of possible weapons could have been built and what possible uses and demonstrations have been made, the question emerges what about warfare in the future? Well, what I can do is give you my opinion and leave it up to each person to evaluate that as they see fit.

We have certain trends, however, that certainly are possible. We see with certainty other nations developing nuclear weapons shortly. Almost everybody that wants to have a nuclear weapon and is a nation of any little size at all is going to have one. I would characterize that by the fact that weapons of mass destruction have now passed out of chess playing hands. In other words, logical hands into some hands which are irrational.

And to me, that's a much more dangerous world. There is another suppose. The fear all analysts have is the suitcase delivery system. You simply slip in the weapon parts and assemble it say in New York City or Chicago or someplace. And perhaps the next time the US.

Decides to intervene somewhere in the Middle East or somewhere the terrorists then blow several of these weapons incredible damage to the United States. This would suggest an area where not only have the great nations been involved in strategic deterrence, if I might use that term, which is now falling out of fashion, but all the small nations, or a lot of them. Will be able to provide a very positive strategic deterrence to even great nations by the threat of nuclear warfare. Clandestine warfare, as I described. Or biological weapons, which are cheap and everybody can have and build.

It is certainly a much more dangerous weapon that has emerged. World that has emerged and the weapon spread now is just seeping out just like a torrent. There's no stopping it. In these kinds of weapons one doesn't know what will be the future in the slow leakage that seems to be going on in the Tesla weapons. Certainly, it simply adds to the power at the very best for us, the threats and at the worst, it adds an impossible threat.

So the world is facing a set of dangerous possibilities dangerous threats to us all, to everybody to every man, woman and child. Because the civilian population is no longer immune or even exempted from these kinds of things. We're facing a world of possibility of multiple nations, multiple kinds of irrational groups being able to apply enormous weapons of enormous implications to even the civilian population. Our military, for example is facing a situation where, with a lot of development in biological warfare if suddenly new agents that you have no knowledge of whatsoever are thrust upon you have no antidotes you have no effective methods of treatment and these are fairly rapidly acting agents. Let's say they kill in two days rapid infection.

I'm just taking an example. You couldn't possibly come up with anything to do anything with the normal stuff during that time. The only alternative will be the extended electromagnetic treatment because then you could treat it without identifying the agent and cure it before it even came out in illness in your troops. Otherwise, even your military forces face decimation by sudden unknown agents which they are unable to counter. So surprise attack becomes an ever more dangerous thing in a lot more dangerous hands.

The world is much more dangerous today for a much more positive application of, shall I say, Tesla's extension to electromagnetics that he was using though not technically describing so well something that's much more beneficial or can be to mankind humankind rather than destructive means one should focus on the imminent advent of practical over unity electromagnetic devices. These are devices which can be closed looped to run themselves and produce useful power in the load for one impact which is highly beneficial. It's obvious, the most casual observer that the use of such systems where the power to run it is actually extracted from the vacuum itself. If carefully used, there will be no damage to the biosphere and we will certainly eliminate an incredible amount gradually. It won't happen overnight but we will gradually eliminate an incredible amount of burning of fossil fuels.

There's still a need for all the fossil fuels only not as fuel. The chemical needs alone for medicines and materials and so forth to benefit mankind are enormous. But certainly we will stop all the exhausts and pollutants from those from the burning of those fuels from entering the atmosphere. It just won't be happening anymore to the extent it is now on any scale. It will allow us to take funds, for example, on something like into what I like to think could be a more sane world and a much more protective of the environment of our children and of our children's children.

Now, in all candor, I must add one danger. If unrestrictedly used when you produce excess energy of this type from the vacuum, right in the vacuum in a local area, if you produce a very large amount, particularly if you do it very suddenly in that region, you have a curvature of local spacetime, and there can be biological effects from that that we are presently not quite capable of fully explaining or knowing. There's going to have to be some careful incorporation of the devices so that we use care. We do not inflict any kind of damage on anybody or anything like that. So with reasonable scientific care we can prevent any such thing.

And we should do that. We should incorporate such systems into our normal utility transmissions across the lines. The lines are there. The maintenance of them is already there. The facilities are already there.

They're already connected to the homes. It would just be nice if gradually we didn't have to burn so many fossil fuels and gradually the power price could come down cheaper and cheaper. But meanwhile everybody stays working and everybody stays involved. But what we really wish to eliminate is, say, an older person in New York City cold in the winter, very limited income. Can't pay the utility bill very well.

So has to keep the power down, freezing, eating dog food. We must do better than that, and we can. And the Tesla technology will allow us to do better than that. So it must be done. To understand Tesla, you must understand one other remarkable ability that he had that none of his peers had then or now.

We can only do with great computing simulation centers. From the time he was an early child, tesla had the capability to visualize something so intensely and so vividly that he simply couldn't tell the difference between that and a real object until he was about twelve years old, and he finally found a way to distinguish the difference. But this unique ability that he had enabled him to visualize a system in all of its parts working together, turn it over and upside down and inside out and watch everything function on any level. That today we would do with a large cat cam system or we would do with a very large supercomputer in a very large simulation facility. So Tesla also was the world's first great simulating computer center.

Using his own brain, none of his cohorts or his colleagues or his peers had any such ability. Tesla would build a device a hundred times in his head, changing it all the time, until he got all the parts working perfectly in his simulation, and then he would build it on the bench. And most times it would work right away. He had already built it a hundred times. We do exactly that technique today in many fields of endeavor, with great effort, with great cost, big computing centers.

Tesla could do it in his head.

One final question often remains about Nikola Tesla. It's difficult to put oneself in a situation, to believe that he could possibly have done such great things, and they have passed completely away into either secrecy or being lost or just simply abandoned. So a puzzling question remains how on earth could this happen? Suppose it's true, how could it happen?

Actually, it's not too difficult to understand how, but it takes a bit of background and appreciation for the times. First of all, put yourself in Tesla's day when we're talking about installation on Long Island. It hasn't been very long since Custer's last stand.

We're talking about just prior to Marconi's transmission of signals across the Atlantic. We're talking about a time when only recently, in just the end of the 1880s and the early 1890s, has electromagnetics abandoned the quaternion theory and gone to the vector theory of Oliver Heavyside, largely, and with some contribution by Hertz and Gibbs. There are only at the time, prior to the turn of the century, possibly about 40 scientists in the world who really understand electromagnetics at the top level. There are more than that who are, we might say, followers. But the shapers there's only about no such thing as big government science.

There are no large government organizations funding science anywhere. A scientist was a relatively poor person. He wasn't impoverished, but he certainly had no income. Like a businessman. There was no place to get grants or to get funding for research.

All science is patronized. Somebody has to pay the freight. And many of the avenues we are familiar with today, most of them simply did not exist. The only way that a scientist or call him an inventor such as Tesla could in fact even dream of supporting himself, he had to, number one, discover the thing. He had to keep it very, very secret and patent it.

He had to keep it secret until his patent actually was issued up some money. A scientist at a university who received a $2,000 grant from an industrious was in great shape. Think of the economics of the time. An average person might make $500 a year when we speak of $150,000, an enormous sum of money in that time, but we're speaking of a time when there's still not many checks and balances on the great capitalists. Literally, they buy the politicians at will.

The control of financial power had little opposition in the courts or anything else. It was so bad at the time that there was a violent labor movement going on against the very same industrials who kept manipulating the stock market and causing it to change and causing inflation and terribly hurting everybody. Anarchy was even a serious threat because of the belief that all government was evil prevailing into the laboring class. An anarchist even assassinated the president. While Lincoln is working on long I mean, while Tesla is working on long island.

So one must appreciate the tenor of the times. Also, one must appreciate the communication industry. There were very few telephones.

The telegraph, which wasn't widespread, but the telegraph existed. That was the main route of communication in newspapers, books, to some extent. The journals were all pretty well controlled. Most of them by the scientific community was already very much jealous of Tesla. So you don't publish in the real scientific journals.

You have to publish in something like what Today would call Scientific American, like electrical experiment or something. Many of the publications were letter to the editor. So an inventor or a person trying to make a living in science as an independent person had a terrible job and a terrible task. There was a great secrecy clamp on him just because of the situation and tenor of the times. This accounted really to a large degree for Tesla's secrecy.

Most other inventors who had not yet become highly successful or whatever were also very secret or who still needed large funding. So secrets and secretiveness was the order of the day. Only when you put it in this background can you understand then how easy it is to suppress. It's not printed in the newspaper. His single exposition of receiving signals from outer space caused most of the news media to simply swing over and go against him.

The very news media who had simply made him a star, so to speak, before now couldn't get enough to get on him and continue to hound him and call him every name in the books. And so, from that single remark, a great drastic shift in the labeling of Nikola Tesla came about. Science itself is unforgiving. There is many histories of scientist persecution of other scientists with whom they disagreed. The system is very prone to either destroy, condemn, or bury any scientist who seriously disagrees with it to this day.

Well documented. We could make another documentary movie on just that. However, here was a preeminent example of a disagreement with the current scientific control. And the scientific control was adamant that he get wiped out of the books and he get labeled a lunatic. And that's exactly what happened.

He wound up with his name, Tesla, attached to a coil, and one unit of measurement named after his name. And as far as the scientist was concerned, that was enough. He didn't deserve anything else, most of them. So the scientific community rejected him. After Morgan turned his back, the financial community rejected him.

Here was a loner, then again, absolute loner. What was he to do? Exactly what he did. Retire to his hotel room and feed the pigeons and think grand dreams live on a small pittance which kept life and them together from his native Yugoslavia. And once a year have a press conference where he spoke of all the grand things that he thought of and he wished to have happened, but at least overtly, as far as we know, overtly.

Never again was Nikola Tesla to ever have a chance to attempt any of the great things that always surge through his restless mind, I guess, in summary of all of this, what does Tesla represent to the future? Particularly benevolently? Let's forget the weapons. What can come from Tesla's work that's been yet unrealized, that can benefit humankind everybody on the face of this Earth? There are some very positive benefits that loom.

The greatest thing that Nikola Tesla ever did was to continue to point out that the present electromagnetics model is seriously flawed and that electromagnetics is much more unlimited. Think for a moment of the service that the limited electromagnetics we have has been put to. Think of all the electronics, the communication industry, the power systems. It's changed the life of every person on the face of the Earth. Consider for just a moment what an extension to what you can do can add to the benefit of everybody everywhere for all time.

And I think when one ponders and considers that implication, then the full importance and the full implication of Nikola Tesla yet to be realized will indeed be realized.

What a phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal video from Thomas Bearden explaining Nikola Tesla. I see a lot of parallels between what I discovered in regards to weather modification, the electromagnetic radiation that is, radio waves and other means ionization and what Tesla discovered. Only the difference is I went public with it. I didn't keep it secret as he talked about in Tesla's work, and how they had to keep it secret because other people would basically rip them off and then either suppress it or try to sell it, et cetera. And that was the name of the game up until pretty much currently, I would say even in the beyond, most likely ran into this a lot.

Now, again, I'm not seeking patents and trying to get financing or anything. I took my discoveries to the world in regards to weather modification, electromagnetic radiation wise, and that's now been proved. It's now a drop down choice on the Noa weather modification site that they put up last year. In 2021, NOAA put up a new weather modification site, and number eight on the list of must be reported is using lasers and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. But there it is.

After twelve years, this is what I found. I had to find this myself last week on the Noa site, found it myself. So it's kind of a different world we're living in now where you can do your own research publicly, and you don't need to get that financing. You can do it on your own with crowdsource funding your own viewers and people who support you. That's the difference.

So I'm going to be uploading this video to YouTube, and I do want to point something out about this video. I tried to upload it to YouTube already, since it was sent to me directly by Thomas Bearden at the directive of their company after he passed away. That the information that was sent to me here. This video I tried to upload and YouTube automatically blocked it. First time in twelve years of uploading videos that I ever get this message saying that this video has already been uploaded before and removed.

Removed. They removed that video as violation of community service guidelines because they said there is no such thing as electromagnetic radiation modification of anything, let alone the weather, as he's saying in this video and many other things. And now that's it's. Again, it's a drop down choice from the NOAA weather modification site that has to be reported by private companies who are doing it currently. If they do it, private companies and the federal government does not have to report to Noa, so they're the ones running the radar.

So of course we're not going to see that or anything else like that. But there it is. So let's go upload this to YouTube. Everybody deserves to see it. And I would encourage you, if you didn't understand what he's talking about, maybe watch it a few times.

Actually, this is the second time, third time now I actually have watched it, but man, you probably are going to need to watch it multiple times to really get your head around some of the things he's talking about, like the projection of sicknesses and the projection of cures. And the French in the 1960s with their device to remove certain kinds of growths on your body, in your body. We know what that word starts with CN. You can't say it if you talk about a cure for it. So that's suppression for you, too.

And how the Soviets at the time and the former Soviet Union were far ahead of us in this. And he mentioned three other countries, but doesn't mention their names, says they're not exactly friendly to the United States, but they're not exactly enemies. And that would have been China, most likely the UK, and most likely Iran. Just saying there's a reason we haven't invaded Iran. And the directed energy weapons do mean everything from lasers to high power microwaves, which we call HPM.

The Directed Energy Warfare office. That the US. Navy has the dew d wo they have a directed energy warfare office. The Department of Defense came out and confirmed a video I put out, and they responded to a video I put out. I asked my viewers to send the video to the Department of Defense, and that was a few years ago, a couple of years back, when I captured live on weather satellite in ultraviolet, infrared coming out of space, beaming down to California into the fires and causing the fires.

And I got that live just by chance when we were looking at the weather, and I recorded it live and told my viewers to send it to the Department of Defense. A few days later, the Department of Defense responded with a public press conference announcing that our enemies, China and Russia, have satellites, killer satellites in spaces, they said. And I've got this video on my channel. You can go watch it. Department of Defense confirms Dew directed energy weapon.

And they said it can fire at a distance and killer satellites in space. And that was the response to my video four days earlier, five days earlier, where I literally captured it coming down from space, causing fires at a distance in California. Then they shot it down, apparently, which is another separate story entirely of how they took it down, how they took down the enemy satellite, or maybe it was a friendly satellite that was doing it to us. No way to know whose satellite it was. Maybe they do.

But whatever it was, it was up in space and it was beaming down and causing fires in California. We caught that live, and they responded unequivocally, explaining how our enemies have these in space and if they've got them, we've got them. Everybody's got them. Most likely all the big superpowers most likely have them. Even some private companies probably have them at this point, but that's another story to talk about, too.

This video is done are uploading to YouTube now.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

4th Turning

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

Episode Summary:

The author expresses skepticism about Einstein's concepts, specifically around time being a dimension. They argue that consciousness precedes physical matter and that contemporary understanding of quantum mechanics is flawed. They've conducted experiments based on Nicola Kozyrev's work and criticize Eric Weinstein's "geometric unity model", implying it doesn't reconcile Einstein's and quantum mechanics ideas. They mention Kozyrev's imprisonment for counterrevolutionary ideas, emphasizing his significant contributions after being released early from his sentence.

Nikola KoziRev, stepping away from conventional quantum mechanics, researched and documented the active qualities of time. His experiments showcased that objects, when subjected to specific conditions like shaking, changed in weight without altering mass. This was believed to be due to the object's interaction with the "pulse of the universe" and time's inherent qualities. Other experiments with mercury emphasized its potential significance in time research. Contrary to popular belief, Kozyrev and the author argue against the possibility of corporeal time travel, emphasizing the need for a fresh ontological understanding of the universe.

Kozyrev conducted experiments revealing that liquids, especially water and mercury, interact with "time stuff" differently than solids. He developed the "Kozyrevs mirror" based on these findings and took it to the North Pole, suspecting temperature fluctuations at the poles impacted time due to frozen water. Historical periods such as the Kali Yuga, Dwapara, and Bronze Age are linked to the solar system's distance from the galactic center, affecting human consciousness and technological advancements. The Harparan civilization, unique in its design and peace, mysteriously disappeared, with hints of ancient nuclear war in the Indus Valley.

The text discusses the concept of ages, specifically the transition from the Kali Yuga to the ascending Bronze Age. It describes the dominant influence of the Khazarian mafia during the Kali Yuga and their desire to maintain control in the Bronze Age. The writer is optimistic about shedding the lingering influences of the Kali Yuga, especially with advancements in understanding reality, time, and physics. There's also a mention of political issues, breakthroughs by the Russians in "time stuff," and a critique of Einstein's theories in favor of other physics perspectives.

The writer expresses skepticism towards celebrated scientists like Einstein, Pasteur, and Curie, claiming they were merely plagiarists and products of the Khazarian Mafia's propaganda. The author implies a mistrust towards anyone with a Nobel Prize, suggesting they're promoted by the Khazarian Mafia for an agenda. The author plans to return to their Kozyrev experiments after completing chores and anticipates discussing upcoming "emotional peaks" in future posts.

Time Ain't Nothing - 05-24-2023

Hello, humans. Hello humans. Almost noon. Heading back on the outward bound leg. Got all the chores done.

Got all the extra stops. Didn't run into any shortages today, which is interesting. It's always good that when there's things there that you need to get. Anyway, I wanted to talk about time stuff today.

I've been doing a lot of time experiments replicating Nicola Kozyrevs work. And he was a Russian guy. He worked in the well, the 1920s through the 1960s was his most productive period. Anyway.

There's a whole lot of us guys that are not involved in the physics world and even some guys that are involved in the physics world that have come to the conclusion that Einstein really fucked everybody over and that quantum is no good, doesn't work and is quantum mechanics and all of that kind of stuff is bogus. Okay, so going all the way back to Einstein's work in 19 five, there's no justification or excuse me, let me put it this way. Two thirds of the behavior that we can measure and assess from light are not explained by the photon. So Einstein came up with this idea. The photon, he says the light comes on in, it bounces off of something, and the photon goes over and strikes your eye.

And you get to see it, right? You get to see whatever the thing that the light bounced off of. Okay? So the photon does not explain a lot. It doesn't explain how the image is carried to your eye, right?

Because your eye does not deal in a pixelated fashion. It's not like a computer screen where each pixel has a specific representation and a potential color range and all of this kind of stuff. So the photon just does not explain it. We also have another really big problem with all of Einstein's stuff in that Einstein says that time is a dimension. And in all of Einstein's work, he treats time as a dimension.

And this is what causes the goofiness in quantum mechanics, where they talk about the collapsing of the field when you try and measure it. Okay, I'm not going to get into that today. That's another fundamentally bogus aspect of Einstein's understanding. So Einstein had a flaw in his thinking that was huge and giant. He may have known about this flaw or not.

There are some of these physicists that indeed do know that there is this flaw there. And the general flaw is that they are approaching everything from the idea that there is no consciousness. And the goal of the physics is to look at the grit and explain how grit evolves and creates consciousness. Okay? And so this is an impossibility.

It can never happen. Consciousness existed before there was grit. And grit is an artifact of what consciousness wants to do. And so their premise is wrong, their understanding is wrong. Their basic jumping off point is wrong.

So everything that they develop, anything that happens to work is going to be happenstance and coincidence and is going to involve machinations and twisted stuff in the math in order to make it work. So we have this thing that's called Planck's constant. Everybody raves about it. It's an essential part of the physics. It makes some of the Einsteinian understanding work.

Without it, none of the Einsteinian understanding works. And Planck's constant need not exist. It only exists because of a particular experiment in which the volume of space being measured was a cube. If they had done it in a sphere, or if they had done it in a tetrahedron, planck's constant is not needed and never would have had to have been invented. And it's like Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty exists because of Einstein, the same impetus that Einstein had when he converted time to a dimension, okay?

So in Einstein's math, all through it, time is like width or height or something, a distance, a physical distance that way. And this does not in any way encapsulate time. It's a very crude mathematical workaround that basically denigrates time to one of the other dimensions, and it involves us in living in a four dimensional world, okay? And that does not exist. Absent collapsing time into a dimension, there is no justification whatsoever for all of these nutty woo woo people saying interdimensional travel as though there is a corporeal life form that's at another frequency, in another dimension of frequency, x rays or something.

I don't know how they understand that. And that corporeal life form can translate itself somehow into our three dimensional reality and doesn't work. That can only happen in Einstein's. Screwy math, which is bogus and doesn't function. And this is why we've been held in this limbo for the last hundred plus years, is because everybody's trying to reconcile quantum mechanics and Einstein and it's never going to happen.

It's bad. It's bad science. It doesn't work. It comes from a basically flawed premise. And time is not a dimension.

And we know that this is a case. We also know that there are active qualities of time. And so I did an experiment, mathematic experiment, in which I expanded on Einstein's ideas and I took the idea of time and I created a matrices, a matrix in which every active quality of time that is different from all the other active qualities of the time was put in there. And I came up with a nine extra dimensions, okay? They're not dimensions, they're just simply qualities of time, active qualities of time.

There's both active and passive qualities. I'll get into that in a second anyway. And so I did that and I come up with these extra nine dimensions, which is like holy crud, that's exactly what Eric Weinstein did to create his geometric unity model, which is bogus. Okay? So in my opinion, it's possible, okay?

So I speculate, it's my opinion that Eric Weinstein is not as he is saying, okay? I speculate that on that opinion that he's sort of like maybe a Jeffrey Epstein character. So Epstein was supposedly a hedge fund trader guy, yet he made no trades and had no hedge fund. Right. He was just into blackmail and all of that.

And the banks covered up all of his blackmail and stuff by saying he was a hedge fund. Well, Eric Weinstein supposedly works for Theo Investments. Or I think that's it. But you don't see him crowing about any of his he never brags about any of the trades he makes. He never talks about it.

You never hear him talking any of the stuff about trading. He doesn't discuss assets that way. He does not naturally default to mathematic understanding and economic understanding of things. He could indeed be a very atypical person and indeed do lots of trading and all of that kind of stuff, but I don't see any evidence for it. I also know that his geometric unity stuff is bogus.

It's trying to reconcile Einstein's quantum mechanics, which will never happen, and you're just getting squirrelier and squirrelier and squirrelier trying to make this shit work, and you're diverging constantly from our reality. So, like I say, I work Duplicating Kozyrevs experiments because of what they show you, what they teach you about time. He was fascinated by time. He's an interesting guy, the greatest living astrophysicist, and he gets sent to a gulag for 20 years because he gets rated out for counterrevolutionary ideas. So he was a thought crime fellow, right?

He was a thought crime victim. They said he was guilty of thought crime, and so they stick him away in a gulag. They let him out early, ten years early. And during those ten years, he didn't have any access to any damn thing other than hard work and miserable food. But he thought about all this stuff, and he developed a whole series of experiments which he memorized, and he started doing them when he came out, and his understanding really grew in leaps and bounds.

And as he came out of the gulag, he totally divorced himself, separated himself in his work from the conventional understanding of quantum mechanics. At that point, the former Soviet society was evolving into the current Russian Federation society, and they were getting on board with all this Einsteinian shit because the west was doing stuff, and we were basing all of our things on it. We made the technology we did and invented all this shit in spite of Einstein's understanding. And whenever we come across reverse engineered space alien technology, it always defies the Einsteinian understanding of things, right? Because Einstein's understanding was bogus.

It just is not correct. Anyway, so Kozyrev did all these experiments in which he categorized and described the active qualities of time, and he was able to do some very interesting things with very little in the way of gear. So, for instance, he could take a resistor, put it into a circuit have active test gear on it, maintaining a test on the voltage and the flow of the electricity in through the resistor and its level of resistance, then he could do any number of things that would cause time to be invoked, like time stuff. And basically what he's doing is experimenting with time not as the dimension, but as the power of our universe here. And so what he would do would he would have next to the resistor, he could put a cotton ball and put acetone on it and let that acetone evaporate out of the cotton ball.

And in the process, that's going to change the quantification of the time stuff that is around that resistor to the extent that it will alter the resistor's capability, changing its ability to resist, increasing its ability to resist, or decreasing depending on how you do the experiment. There were other simple experiments that showed that time stuff is able to be like a technology independent of the time itself, right? So addressed by humans. And so one of them, he had a balance for weighing things, a non electronic balance, okay? He can use a triple beam balance or a hanging scale balance, it doesn't matter.

And what you do is you get yourself a lead weight and you put a lead weight in your balance and you weigh it down precisely. You weigh it down to the 10th or the hundredth of a gram. And so you know precisely how much this thing weighs. You've got physical weights that balance it out such that you've got its weight down to exactly 390.3 grams. All right?

Then you lock the balance. You lock the scale so that it doesn't wobble or move or anything. And then you take the weight off of you take the thing you're weighing the lead chunk of lead, and it could be iron and so on. Lead works better, has more of a deviation. Tungsten would probably work as well, or gold.

For this purpose, you need a very heavy lump of metal. And so what you would do would be to take that metal out and go and set it on a rubber insulating pad that insulates it from touching any other metal. And then you want to shake the fuck out of it, okay? So you put it in a paint shaker. You can put it on one of those oscillating mixer things that you find in laboratories, which is what Cozy ribbed used, and you just shake the fuck out of it for a few minutes.

You will then see that if you don't touch it with a human hand or metal but if you were to take, like plastic or non conductive tongs, wood, this kind of thing and pick that weight up after the oscillations have stopped, after the machine stops, you pick it up and you set that weight back into the scale. And then you release the scale. You will find that that weight is suddenly heavier, suddenly heavier by a very large percentage that is able to be measured. So out of the 390.3 grams, if you do this with a very pure form of lead, you can get an extra 19 or 20 grams of weight. So this is measurable.

This is significant. This is not an error caused by a gust of wind or something like that, right? This is not any kind of transient anomaly in the process of weighing it. This is an actual gain in weight, even though the mass has not changed. So shaking it does not in any way change the mass of that lead.

The only thing that it actually does is it disrupts that lead relative to the pulse of universe, such that the lead is retaining pulse effects of time and thus has more apparent weight even though the physical mass has not altered. Now, this will work even with wood. If you had a large enough chunk of wood that you could measure it and get it accurately, you could shake the fuck out of the wood and it would gain some level of additional time stuff. It's not as good as metal, though, right, in that regard. And there are some metals that this does not apply to mercury.

All right? So you can do this with mercury. Doesn't make a damn bit of difference. There are other things you can do with mercury to get it to absorb more time stuff. But mercury, I think, is our key to interacting with time because of the nature of the metal itself.

There's all kinds of interesting tests that Nikola Kozi Rev did with mercury, showing the effects of time, showing that, and that this is basically this is well, he did experiments with mercury and measuring and weighing mercury. When the Moon is on the other side of the planet and when the Moon is on this side of the planet, and all these other different kinds of things showing that the mass of the Mercury, its weight and its mass is affected by the conditions of the universe around us at a magnetic level, indicating its interaction with our time. Okay. And time is an active thing, and we have a time field that we live within that has all of these properties. And he's demonstrated this.

There's a couple of good books out there that go into Kozyrev's experiments and the active quality of time, they're starting to get reprinted more often. So there appears to be a growing awareness that the Einsteinian atheistic view is bogus and that we need a different approach to things, an ontological understanding of universe. And cozy. Rev had this right. Kozyrev is of the same opinion as myself that time is the power of universe.

It powers all of universe for us and gives us all of the energy in universe, provides us with our own energy and so on.

This understanding necessarily leads to a different view of physics and what you can do with it, right? And so, no, it's not possible that you can have time travel corporeal time travel. It just is not going to happen. You cannot take your body and go shove it into another point in time. First off, it would take probably more energy than exists in universe to bust into and intrude into the time pulse in a different area of the pulse itself.

This has to do with a lot of different things, and we know that there's no time travel because we're not seeing any evidence of it, right? There would be certain things that would happen relative to our time. If time travel was discovered anywhere at any point and people were actually able to travel in time, there will be effects of that throughout all of time, and they're quite numerous. This is one of the things that got cozy Riv to understand about the pulse of time. Now, he did not take his understanding the same direction or as far as I have, which is that he still believed, he still thought the universe was steady state.

And I don't buy that. I think we have this flickering oscillation that's 22 trillion times a second that actually is the nature of our universe, and it allows you to have different physics and explain so much if you just take that approach.

In any event, so cozy Reb discovered that liquids, water and mercury, chief among them, oil also, but water and mercury first, that liquids have the possibility of interacting with time stuff in a way that solids don't. And so he was doing all of these kinds of experiments on them. It led him to a whole series of conclusions about the nature of the time stuff and its interaction with our consciousness. And that's how he developed his Kozyrevs mirror, the time mirror that they took to the north pole. Now, he took it to the north pole because of this understanding of water and time stuff or mercury and time stuff, right?

So when water freezes, there is a component of time that is trapped within that frozen water, within the process of the freezing, and it happens no matter where you freeze water or under what circumstance. And Kozyrev was able to do a lot of experiments with freezing water with compressed gas and freezing water with ice or other methods so that he could freeze it quickly, freeze it slowly, and so on, and determine many of the subsets of that particular active component. That seems to show that water retains water, has memory relative to time. And in his experiments, he was able to determine that the freezing and thawing of water acts as an additional macro layer of putting time out into our environment. So in other words, you have a lot of frozen time stuff, so to speak, in the poles.

And so his idea was, oh, well, we can put my mirrors up near the north pole where every little tiny bit of fluctuation of temperature change is going to do something relative to time. It's either going to freeze more into the water, or it's going to release more, bearing in mind that the surface of the glaciers and all this kind of stuff melt in the sun and then refreeze, right? So this is going on constantly, and his understanding seemingly proved correct. Now, some interesting things about this, okay? Gets really convoluted.

There's some speculation and very few conclusions, but we do know some things, right? So we're not in the Kali Yuga. We're in the 325th year of the Dwapara, okay? The ascending dwapara the ascending Bronze Age. So we're 325 years into the Bronze Age, 325 years beyond the Kali Yuga.

And we know that this is the case. We have a demonstrable proof of this in that in the Kali Yuga, that's the densest point in our Great year as the sun goes around this center of the galaxy, in this basically a 26,000 year elves, that's called the Great Year. And so we know that the Kali Yuga is that place where humans live at their densest, where our solar system is furthest away from the galactic central, the galactic center, right? That's where we're furthest away from it. And so we know that's the point where humans are very dense and they were very dense.

But there's a lot of things that we know about that, right? That this is the point at which humans are not very bright. We're not producing stuff. All of life is living at a denser level that has less brightness or spark to it. And we see this in our history.

So if we look back to the point where so the Kali Yuga would be 1200 years long, and so if we add the 1500 years to that, then you get back into that period of time where we have all the biblical stuff, right? And so this was truly the densest of time. And we had no electricity, we didn't have telephones, we didn't have running water, we had none of this during that period of time. And it was pretty much that way all around the planet. And so now we know where we have demonstrable proof that we're not in the Kali Yuga, because I'm not writing an ass in to get food, right?

Aid car going like fuck into town trying to keep somebody alive anyway. So I'm not writing an ass to go get my food. I'm not restricted to 15 minutes walking time in the surfs, right? So these were dense periods of time where there was nothing there, really, for human technology and so on. Yet before that period of time, we find vast quantities of time where humans had much more advanced civilizations.

And it is not a case of just that civilizations decay. It is that we were moving into the Kali Yuga. So there's an ascending half and a descending half, about 13,000 years each. And at the point that all the Bible stuff happened was the point of the Kali Yuga. And that was the furthest, most downside of descending side of our great year.

Now, we also see on that side of things in our history, we find some incredible stuff, right? So in the Silver Age going, all right, so every age is of a different length. So the Golden Age is 4800 years long. Silver Age is 3600 years long. The Bronze Age is 2400 years long.

We're in a Bronze Age. Now, the Iron Age or the Kali Yuga, is 1200 years long. But it doesn't stop and start on a dime kind of a thing, right now. You don't just cross a line. So on the descending side, there is a all right, so let me stop and say that our great year is divided into four chunks.

These are further divided into an ascending half and a descending half. But four is the number of time, and four is associated with time in any number of civilizations. Now, in our case here, all of the yugas, all of these parts of our great year, each can be divided into four as well. And that fourth is meaningful. It's because of the waxing and waning part of this, right?

And so as we go in a descending point down into the Iron Age, we leave the Bronze Age. The Bronze Age is 2400 years long. One quarter of that is going to be 600 years. As we go from one age to the next on the descending side, there is a waning effect. So as we left the Bronze Age, there were 600 years that technology faded, that the light faded, that the brightness in human mind faded as we left the galactic center, as we got further and further away from it.

And so there was this waning period. It didn't just suddenly turn on a dime. There was 600 years of this. During the Bronze Age and into the Silver Age. We find existing now things like the Hopperan civilization, which lasted over a thousand years.

This was in the Indus Valley. Happaran. And this was in the Indus Valley. There was much of it that was now underwater. This civilization was unique in our understanding, in a bunch of ways.

First off, they had mass produced bricks. Everybody had their society was centrally or had some level of design to it, not central planning or anything like that. But this planning with their mass produced bricks, allowed them to recover every time the Indus Valley flooded. They could rebuild really quickly. Everybody's houses were of a known size.

All the houses were basically equitable. There were a few that were larger, but not very many. The bricks had defined dimensions and ratios that allowed all of their buildings to have that same design pattern, all the streets, et cetera, et cetera. This civilization is unique in that there's no sign of any war toys, okay? There's no sign of any weapons in the society that we can find.

There were no arsenals, there were no weapon stashes. People didn't have weapons in their houses. We find weapons relative to farmers and that kind of thing. So they did have those in terms of keeping track of stuff relative to animals, right. Livestock and dealing with bears or whatever, right?

So they had weapons for that purpose, but they did not, apparently have war. This was a very extensive society, millions of people, and it just, like, suddenly disappeared. There's some suggestion that it died in a nuclear war. There is some suggestion that there was nuclear war that separated the Bronze Age from the Kali Yuga. It's difficult to say this because the nuclear aspect of it, we can't say when it occurred, but we know that the Harparan Valley, the Indus Valley, has some areas where there's radiation levels that are ten and 20 times higher than they should be.

We find this in some of the deserts as well. So there's some suggestion that there was a great war here in Shading, into this. But in any event, so this is the way it goes, though. So out of the Bronze Age, there were 600 years into the Kali Yuga. It wasn't so bad.

We were getting worse and worse and worse as time went by. But over a course of 600 years, you'd sort of not really notice. Then we're deep into the Kali Yuga. We go the next 600 years from the Kali Yuga, and no real increases technology, nothing getting invented, any of this sort of thing. People are basically dense mentally.

It's during this period of time that we actually get the emergence of the Khazarian mafia. They came out of the Kali Yuga. They dominated the Kali Yuga, and all of their money, you know, the interest bearing currency, all of that is coming from the Kali Yuga. Now, as you go, we've turned the bin, so to speak. We're around the bottom of the Ellipse, we're out of the Yuga, and we're heading up into the Bronze Age.

We're in the Bronze Age, heading up towards the Silver Age in an ascending cycle. And we have this one quarter of the previous age as an overlap as we get out of these. So one quarter of 1200 years is 300 years. So if you look, we had waning Kali Yuga influences over the last 300 years and out of the last 325 and over these 25 years, last 25 years, we've been really starting to step it up. So on the ascending side well, okay, on both sides, ascending or descending, you'll have the overlap from the previous age, and then you'll have one quarter of that time as the time that is required to establish the qualities of the age you're in.

So one quarter of our 300 years, and we come down to 75 years. So we're at the 325th year of the Dwapara ascending Bronze Age, and we've gone through our 300 years of hangover so to speak, from the Kali Yuga. And we're into the 25 years, into the establishment of the time, the qualities of this age that we're in, the Bronze Age, so we're starting to invent shit. We've got copper, which is the heart of bronze, and we're going apeshit with it all getting better and better and better as we go up. But we got the Khazarian mafia wanting to hold us back into the Kali Yuga.

They want to hold us back into a situation, a time when they have control. Now, it's not going to happen. That can't happen in the normal course of things anyway. These people are deluded in trying to maintain this against time, but we know they're deluded about all of this kind of stuff anyway, because these are the people that say, you got to come up with a physics that shows how consciousness evolved from grit, and it just is not going to happen. It didn't evolve from grit.

And so we've got a big disconnect that we're going through at the moment. And that's one of our big problems at this time, is that we're still dealing with these hangovers from the Kali Yuga in the form of the fake physics that's been put on us, the fake money, all of this stuff that hangs on, but we're shedding it. This is that period of time where all of this stuff gets shed. This is why I'm very optimistic this is a good thing for humans. We're getting rid of all of the Khazarian mafia crap.

We're getting rid of all of these hangovers from the old age, and we will get real and get righteous with our understanding of this reality and physics. So this is going to be a good thing anyway. And so we've got 50 more years setting, it's called the set period, in which we set the qualities of the age we're in. And I actually think we're on the cusp, right? I think that our setting the qualities of this age will accelerate as we accelerate the process of moving into this 75 year period of time.

We're moving in towards the halfway mark of it. And so we'll get more solid with these qualities that we're setting in here. And this is the Age of Aquarius. This is all really cool that way. And the impact on our social order will be most severe over these next 20 years or so, right?

And thereafter, hopefully within like 20 years, we'll have done with the Khazarian mafia. Part of the things that's going to occur is that we're going to face the reality. And so this is all the good news. All the people coming up with all of the language, laying out racism, anti Semitic, transphobe, all of this, every one of those words, we're going to deal with it, we're going to get down in there, we're going to get in there and remove this as an issue. So 20 years from now, no.

One will give a shit. Anti Semitic. What's that mean? Transphobe? What's that mean?

Oh, that's some of that old lang, right? Old language from the past. It doesn't mean anything anymore. It has no meaning whatsoever, and you won't be able to intimidate or control or do anything with the language relative to the general population. Anyway.

Guys, I got to go and do stuff. I got a lot of chores and things here. But time really does power everything in the universe, okay? It is the pulse of time that gives your body the ability to draw breath and cause chemical changes to occur within it. And time is not a dimension.

Einstein and all of these other guys, basically, I would say that anybody that got a Nobel Prize for physics and probably most of the people that got Nobel Prizes for mathematics and chemistry are wrong, all right? Because they're working on this Einsteinian understanding, which is totally, totally bogus, which we will shed over these next 25 years, and we will do so in a very rapid way once we get through our current political problems, because we now know that the Russians have achieved some remarkable breakthroughs in dealing with time stuff. They've been able to accelerate cozy, rev's work from 1967 to the point that they can now make matter more dense for their weapons. So this would be like being able to add more time stuff to a bullet such that that bullet doesn't require any more gunpowder to shoot. It technically weighs more if you were to weigh it, but it's going to be much denser as well.

And so you'd be able to shoot that bullet, and it would not break up the way that a non time stuff enhanced bullet would, right where the lead would shatter and break open and so on. When it hit a body. This one might be able to go a time enhanced bullet might be able to go through an armor piercing or an armored vest or an armored car and still do damage and still retain some of its original qualities. And they can do things, too, like removing the time stuff ahead of their missiles and stuff, especially for turns. And so this means that you can turn without inertia you can turn without an additional torque affecting the body that is being turned.

And in doing so, it makes the plasma engine incredibly fucking efficient, because for the addition of the extra time stuff can be done in such a way that the missile is dealing with less mass and less weight. And so you get more oomph for the amount of fuel you've got in there. All different kinds of benefits come from dealing with the time stuff and the cozy, rev understanding of our reality. And I think we'll get in there, especially when we can start talking to the Russians in a more or less open fashion about this kind of stuff once we're all on the same side of our Khazarian problem, right? Once we join the Russians and saying, hey, Ukraine and Khazaria central banks, all of this shit's got to go, at that point, we'll be able to make very serious advances because we'll be able to say, okay, no, this 100% bogus.

Let's just disregard all this E equals MC squared shit that Einstein sold. He didn't come up with it. That was in existence in 1863. So we had the ability to make nuclear bombs, theoretically in the mid 18 hundreds. In terms of a physics understanding, no one did it because of the Mitchellson Mori experiments that derailed that understanding of things, which was all about the ether and so on.

But nonetheless, we did have that knowledge then, and Einstein merely plagiarized it. And it's amazing how many of the, quote, scientists that we think of as being like top dogs, like Pasteur and Curie and Einstein, right? It's amazing how many of these are simply products of the Khazarian Mafia's propaganda arm. And pasteur was a plagiarist. He didn't come up with Germ theory.

It was 160 years old by the time he started talking about it. And Curie did all kinds of stuff. Especially Madame Curie. Relative to X ray diffraction, that was all known that she was plagiarizing and she was just promoted by the Khazarian Mafia, basically. Like I say, anybody with a Nobel Prize has been promoted by the Khazarian mafia.

And so there's some agenda there, and I don't trust any of the shit that they put out. Anyway, I'll got to get back to my Kozyrev experiments after I do some yard work and stuff. But I'll post these and we'll get into some more stuff later this week as we get to some of our big, ugly emotional peaks. I'm sure there's going to be stuff there that's going to be require some verbiage around it. Anyway, guys, take care and talk to you later.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

The Case Against Reality | Prof. Donald Hoffman on Conscious Agent Theory - 11-09-2019

Summary:

This text is a conversation between the host, Zubin, and his guest, Dr. Donald Hoffman, a professor of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Hoffman discusses his work and the fascinating theory he has proposed about our perception of reality. According to Hoffman, we do not perceive the world as it actually is, rather our perceptions are more like a graphical user interface, designed to help us survive and reproduce rather than show us the truth of our world.

Dr. Hoffman’s interest in perception and artificial intelligence started during his teenage years, influenced by his programming knowledge and his father, a fundamentalist minister. He studied computer science, mathematics, psychology, and artificial intelligence, looking to answer the question of whether humans are mere machines or if there's more to us than just being biological computers.

In 1986, Hoffman and his colleagues developed a mathematical model that suggested that what we perceive may not be the truth, a revelation that shocked him and set him on a 33-year exploration of this theory. He argues that our perceptions are not even close to reality, but are merely constructs of our minds designed to aid our survival, not to show us the actual underlying reality.

The conversation also highlights Hoffman’s book "The Case Against Reality" where he builds a case against the notion that our perceptions accurately represent reality. The book examines everything from split-brain experiments to the behavior of insects and principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity to propose the idea that everything we see is not what's actually happening.

Hoffman also discusses his attempt to convince scientific colleagues of his theory by employing evolution by natural selection. He posits that evolution does not favor organisms that see reality as it is. He likens the process to a video game where organisms gather fitness payoffs or game points (like food and mates) for survival, implying that our senses are essentially tuned to this game of survival rather than to perceive the reality.

The speaker, along with their graduate students, conducted a study on the connection between the perception of reality and fitness payoffs. The research concluded that fitness payoffs, which inform organisms about potential risks or benefits, do not carry information about the objective reality. Instead, they are survival cues, indicating what actions are beneficial or detrimental to survival.

In their study, they conducted hundreds of thousands of simulations where organisms perceiving the truth always went extinct in competition with organisms that saw none of the truth and were only tuned to fitness payoffs. This led them to propose a theorem stating that organisms that perceive reality as it is cannot outcompete organisms of equal complexity that ignore reality and are solely tuned to fitness payoffs. This theorem was later proven by a mathematician, Chaitan Prakash.

This indicates that an organism wasting any perceptual time and energy on the truth is at a disadvantage. The key to survival and winning the game, akin to a video game player focused on collecting points and reaching the next level, is to focus only on the fitness payoffs.

The speaker likens this to the difference between perceiving objects in a video game as real (like cars or a steering wheel) versus acknowledging that what's really there are pixels and circuits - an underlying structure of the game that players don't need to understand to succeed in the game.

In this context, the speaker argues that the physical world we see around us, including space and time, are constructs we create in our mind. However, they clarify that this is not solipsism, as other consciousnesses exist in this world - we perceive others and are perceived by them.

The text discusses the concept of how humans perceive reality and consciousness, comparing it to a visualization tool or user interface like a video game. The author suggests that we do not perceive the complete truth of reality, but only simplified versions of it, based on our survival needs. This is based on evolutionary game theory, which states that evolution has not shaped us to see all the truth but only parts of reality that are necessary for survival.

The author argues that what we see is not the truth or even parts of it, but an entirely user interface, which allows us to control reality while being completely ignorant of its true nature. This interface is seen as a useful tool rather than a drawback as it simplifies complex realities, enabling effective interaction and control.

The idea extends to consciousness, stating that all perceived entities, like animals, objects, or even people, are icons representing real conscious beings. However, the understanding and interaction with these icons are limited to our survival and not a comprehensive understanding of their conscious experiences.

The author then links this concept to the 'hard problem of consciousness', a recognized issue in science, where there is no explanation of how physical brain activity gives rise to subjective conscious experiences. Scientists have identified correlations between brain activity and conscious experiences, but no theory has successfully explained how the former causes the latter.

The text implies that our understanding and interaction with the world are comparable to a computer desktop interface, where the complex processes behind the icons are hidden for ease of use. This perspective challenges the conventional view of reality and consciousness, suggesting that our perception might be a simplified, species-specific user interface rather than an accurate reflection of truth.

This text discusses the ongoing philosophical and scientific debate about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world. The majority of scientists working on the "hard problem" of consciousness assume a physicalist interpretation, suggesting that consciousness emerges from physical phenomena like neurons firing. However, this approach has not yet yielded a comprehensive scientific explanation for any specific conscious experience.

The author questions this physicalist framework and points out that while it has contributed significantly to science and technology for centuries, it may not be adequate to explain consciousness. He argues that consciousness might not be something that can be "booted up" from unconscious ingredients, such as atoms and neurons.

Alternative philosophical ideas, like panpsychism and dualism, are also mentioned. Panpsychism suggests that every object, even inanimate ones, possesses a certain degree of consciousness. However, the author points out that while interesting, panpsychism remains mostly a philosophical position, with no one having yet turned it into a precise scientific theory. Additionally, most scientists prefer simpler, monistic theories (those that assume only one kind of substance or principle), as guided by Occam's Razor.

In the end, the author suggests considering consciousness as a fundamental entity on its own, separate from physical matter, as a potential way forward in exploring and understanding the enigma of consciousness.

In the end, the author suggests considering consciousness as a fundamental entity on its own, separate from physical matter, as a potential way forward in exploring and understanding the enigma of consciousness.

This text discusses a theoretical perspective of consciousness, arguing that consciousness is fundamental to reality, not just a byproduct of physical matter. It proposes the concept that physical matter, including our perception of space and time, is a simplified interface through which we, as conscious agents, experience and interact with other conscious agents. Our interpretation of reality, through this interface, is influenced by our sensory experiences such as touch, color, luminance, etc.

This approach helps to explain phenomena such as quantum mechanics and general relativity, which seem strange or conflicting when viewed from a strictly physicalist perspective. In this context, the inexplicable aspects of quantum mechanics, like entangled particles interacting faster than light speed, aren't necessarily contradictions, but indications of our limited perception through the interface of physical reality.

In this framework, reality is essentially a vast social network of conscious agents interacting and sharing experiences. However, the richness and complexity of these interactions are so great that we need visualization tools, like our physical world, to comprehend them. This is similar to how we use data visualization tools to grasp the gist of vast amounts of social media data.

The text proposes that our perception of three-dimensional space is a form of data compression and error correction. The holographic principle suggests that we only need a two-dimensional space with bits of information to encode a three-dimensional experience. In this context, those bits of information could be experiences or consciousness outside of space and time.

The text continues to argue that this network of consciousness evolves over time, with conscious agents combining to create higher-level conscious agents. This is compared to a video game in 3D spacetime, which provides a useful way for humans to interact and share experiences.

The text also clarifies that the theory does not claim that inanimate objects like rocks are conscious. Rather, when we perceive an object like a rock, we are interacting with conscious agents, but our interface is limited and doesn't provide a clear insight into the consciousness of those agents. This perspective seeks to explain that our perception of the world is not an accurate reflection of reality, but rather an interface that simplifies the complexity of interactions between conscious agents.

This text is an exploration of the idea that our human perception of physical objects and space-time as reality might be more of an interface or representation, rather than the true nature of objective reality itself.

The author discusses how our perceptions are geared towards survival and object permanence, a concept that we naturally start believing from a very early age, that objects continue to exist even when they are out of our perception. This concept is so deeply ingrained in our cognition that challenging it is difficult.

The author then argues that the actual objective reality consists of a vast social network of conscious agents interacting with each other and exchanging experiences. Physical objects, space, and time, according to the author, are part of our "virtual reality". He likens our experience to wearing a virtual reality headset where we render objects like chairs or tables as a way to interact with these conscious agents.

The text further delves into quantum mechanics, stating that the oddities of quantum behavior make more sense within the conscious agent theory than in a purely physicalist one. The concept of local realism (the idea that objects have definite values of properties, and their effects propagate no faster than light) has been experimentally disproven. The author concludes that a number of physicists are now contemplating that the notion of space-time as objective reality might need to be abandoned as we try to unite quantum physics and general relativity into a comprehensive theory.

In summary, the author presents a perspective where the world we perceive as real and objective might actually be a kind of interface to interact with other conscious entities, challenging the standard understanding of physical reality.

The text discusses a perspective on physics and consciousness that suggests spacetime, as we understand it, might not be the fundamental basis of the universe but an emergent property from something deeper. The author speaks about the "amplituhedron," a complex geometric figure that simplifies calculations of particle interactions, implying that spacetime's complexities may arise from a simpler, deeper geometry that we have yet to fully comprehend.

The text also argues that while we should respect and build upon previous scientific achievements like general relativity and quantum field theory, it's time to look beyond spacetime for answers to unanswered questions. Any new theory, however, must align with our existing understanding when projected into spacetime.

The author then introduces a model of "conscious agents," which aims to explore the dynamics of consciousness. He suggests that if the understanding of these dynamics proves too challenging, reverse engineering our knowledge of spacetime could provide some answers.

The text goes on to discuss the limitations of our physicalist understanding, specifically in fields like medicine where understanding consciousness is crucial. It argues that the physicalist approach to understanding reality is like an "interface," which, while effective, only shows part of the picture.

By exploring the underlying "code" or conscious agents, it is proposed that we could gain a deeper understanding of reality beyond the physical, which could potentially allow for significant advancements in fields like medicine and technology. This new approach involves treating each conscious entity as a part of a nested hierarchy, each with their own experiences and actions. The implications of this model could be significant, offering new ways to understand and influence the very fabric of reality.

The text discusses the concept of conscious agents and how our understanding of them could lead to significant advancements in science and technology. The author proposes that conscious agents, entities with varying levels of consciousness, could exist from simple one bit agents to infinitely complex ones. The existence of an all-inclusive, infinite conscious agent is also theorized, leading to a possible mathematical definition of 'God'.

The author sees this as an opportunity for a new, scientifically precise spirituality where concepts traditionally seen as spiritual could be approached with scientific rigor. The objective is to scrutinize ideas and distinguish between genuine insights and erroneous beliefs. He emphasizes that this shouldn't be an exercise in dogma but a tentative pursuit of understanding reality.

Furthermore, the author believes this could help bridge the perceived gap between science and spirituality, and advance human understanding of consciousness and our place in the world. The author encourages passion in the pursuit of this knowledge but warns against falling prey to rigid beliefs.

The text also explores the implications of this theory, particularly the potential to 'hack' into the 'source code' of reality and fundamentally change technology. It is suggested that our perception of reality is based on an interface and that our current understanding might be a 'rookie mistake'. Various experiments, including split-brain ones, are mentioned as examples that could support this theory.

The text discusses a range of topics, mainly revolving around consciousness, death, and artificial intelligence.

Consciousness and Death: The speaker uses a metaphor of virtual reality to illustrate a concept of death, suggesting that when we die, it's like stepping out of an interface, not an end to consciousness. He proposes that the death of the physical body, or avatar, doesn't necessarily mean the end of consciousness, which may persist after physical death according to the theory of conscious agents. This concept raises questions about the persistence of identity, memories, personality, etc., after death.

Nested Conscious Agents: The speaker proposes that we may be a collection of nested conscious agents, where higher or lower agents exert influence on us, and death might be stepping back or moving up through these agent levels.

Mathematics of Conscious Agents: The speaker introduces the concept of 'network information theory' and 'graph theory' as new mathematical branches, which can potentially help understand the interaction of conscious agents and answer profound questions such as what happens when we die. The speaker and his team plan to explore these mathematical concepts further.

Artificial Intelligence: The discussion also involves artificial intelligence, exploring whether AI can have genuine experiences, i.e., feel emotions or enjoy tastes. The speaker argues against the common perspective that complex software and circuits might gain consciousness, proposing instead that once we understand the dynamics of conscious agents and their relationship to our spacetime interface, we might be able to 'hack' it. This 'hack' would potentially create new portals into the realm of conscious agents, which might redefine our understanding and usage of technology.

The text explores the idea of consciousness and its relationship with technology and reality. The speaker believes that we can potentially open "portals" to conscious agents (or individual consciousnesses) using technology and our understanding of our "interface" to consciousness. This process doesn't create new consciousnesses, but rather accesses pre-existing ones.

However, there's also a suggestion that we may be able to create new consciousnesses. Examples of this, according to the speaker, can be observed in sexual and asexual reproduction where it appears new conscious agents are created. Currently, our understanding and ability to do this is primitive, but with future advancements in our understanding of the nature of consciousness and reproduction, we could possibly create new consciousnesses.

The speaker views consciousness as an infinite realm, a fundamental reality which is intrinsic to all existence. They argue this point based on Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Gödel's theorem implies that there are truths that cannot be proven within a given system of axioms. Translating this to the realm of consciousness, the speaker believes that there are infinite aspects and structures of consciousness that we may never fully grasp, implying a never-ending exploration and proliferation of consciousness.

The speaker also regards mathematics as the "structural bones of consciousness," suggesting an intimate relationship between these two domains. In conclusion, the speaker posits a vision of consciousness as an endlessly expanding, complex landscape ripe for exploration and manipulation.

The text delves into the exploration of life, consciousness, and evolution from a mathematical and philosophical perspective. The speaker posits that life is about growth, evolution, enjoyment, and experience, with love playing a significant role due to our interconnectedness. This connection and interaction among conscious beings, they suggest, lead to the creation of new conscious agents, contributing to ongoing evolution and complexity.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining open-mindedness in scientific exploration. They discourage dogmatism or steadfast adherence to established beliefs because it hampers progress and limits exploration. The speaker encourages the constant questioning of our beliefs, arguing that science's role is to help us understand why and how we might be wrong.

They also delve into evolutionary psychology, proposing that logic and reasoning evolved as social tools for persuasion rather than tools for finding absolute truths. They point out that we tend to use our best reasoning skills when in a social debate setting, providing evidence that these skills evolved for social survival rather than truth-finding.

The speaker connects this idea to conscious agent theory, suggesting that our minds are a constant dynamic between unconscious processes and conscious ones. Each conscious agent perceives, decides, and acts based on its understanding of the world, but they can influence and be influenced by other conscious agents.

This interplay between consciousness and unconscious processes, the speaker suggests, may be observed in social situations like football games or conferences where a collective, shared understanding can emerge. The speaker concludes that understanding this dynamic is crucial to comprehending how our minds work and how we perceive and interact with the world around us.

This passage discusses various aspects of consciousness, evolutionary psychology, resource limitations, and the nature of reality. The speaker suggests that the team utilizes evolutionary psychology, which they argue is a powerful tool, as they explore ideas together. They propose the theory that our perception of limited resources could be an "artifact" of our human interface, rather than an accurate insight into the nature of reality.

The speaker goes on to discuss the implications of this theory for our understanding of evolution, suggesting that if we perceive resources as limited, this can lead to competition for resources and subsequently, evolution by natural selection. They argue for a more profound framework that interprets evolutionary psychology as a projection of deeper consciousness dynamics.

The discussion then shifts to the medical field, where the speaker criticizes the increasing reliance on algorithms and computers, arguing that this approach is losing the human touch necessary for effective care.

The dialogue then returns to the topic of resource limitations, suggesting that if resources were unlimited, strategy, effort, and frugality would become unnecessary. They wonder why, if the universe is indeed a conscious entity, resources appear to be finite.

Lastly, the speaker discusses the idea that having a wide range of conscious experiences can be energetically costly, causing us to "dumb things down." The speaker also mentions that they, along with a team of researchers, are working on a theory about these topics but acknowledges that they don't yet know whether the notion of resource limitation applies at a deeper level of consciousness.

The speaker is discussing a theory that suggests consciousness can be manipulated or expanded through various experiences and substances. He mentions how the use of psychedelics, such as LSD or psilocybin, might enable us to open up our perceptual interfaces, allowing us to experience realities that are otherwise inaccessible to us. This theory suggests these substances, even though they're crude technologies, could enable us to interact with a vast array of conscious experiences beyond our normal sensory experiences.

The speaker compares the early use of psychedelics to humans discovering fire. Just as we developed fire into advanced technology, like rockets, we may similarly progress from these basic psychedelic experiences to more refined and profound explorations of consciousness.

The speaker also acknowledges that spiritual practices, like meditation, can potentially provide access to these altered states of consciousness without the use of substances. He draws parallels between the effects of substances, such as marijuana, on our consciousness and how they might just be 'tweaking' our interface of reality.

Towards the end, the speaker raises intriguing questions about the role of genetics in consciousness. He wonders about the potential connection between DNA and conscious agents, and why offspring often bear such a resemblance to their parents, not just physically but also in terms of personality. These questions are part of the broader exploration of how our perceptual interfaces are created and passed on.

In essence, the speaker suggests a future where we might develop technologies for systematically exploring and possibly modifying our interfaces of consciousness.

In this text, the conversation centers on the concept of interface theory, a perspective positing that our perception of reality is just an interface or construct. The speakers discuss the idea of psychedelics as a crude technology that can potentially open up our interface to perceive different forms of consciousness. They use the example of synesthetes, people who have sensory crossovers (such as "seeing" tastes), as evidence that our interface is mutable and can present reality in different ways. The text explores the role of DNA and genetics as interface symbols that create conscious agents very similar to us, suggesting an evolutionary exploration of the "consciousness search space". The potential for further research into this theory is highlighted, with the text proposing that there are centuries of work ahead in this framework.

Episode: The Case Against Reality | Prof. Donald Hoffman on Conscious Agent Theory - 11-09-2019

What's up, everybody? It's Dr. Zubin Dumanya, aka ZDOG MD. And I am just an icon. Okay?

And that will be explained at the by watching this episode. I'm here with professor of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine, and a personal intellectual hero of mine, no bias here, Dr. Donald Hoffman. Professor, welcome to the show. Thank you so much.

Zubin it was pleasure to be here. And thanks for inviting me. Man, it's really crazy to have you in my garage because I've seen your Ted Talk, I've been to workshops with yours. I've read your book the Case Against Reality why? Evolution hid the Truth from our eyes.

And I have to be honest with you. To the extent that a scientist can be a fanboy of another scientist, I am a fanboy because what you've kind of proposed and again, we may be wrong here, but it's the one thing that's actually felt right to me about the nature of reality that we don't see it as it actually is. In other words, we don't see truth. We see a graphical user interface that is a series of icons that are tuned to keep us alive and reproducing, but not tuned to show us the truth. And the underlying truth that is there may be much more interesting than we think.

So, yes, let's start with that. How did you even get interested in studying this? Well, I was interested in perception and artificial intelligence. And the question, are we machines? Are people just machines, or is there something more to us than just machines?

As a teenager, I was very interested in these questions. I was programming, so I knew what programs could do a bit. But my dad was a fundamentalist minister, so there were all these other aspects of spirituality or religion that were interesting about human nature, and I was trying to put all this stuff together. So on the one side, with programming and the new kinds of capacities of artificial intelligence, it was looking like we might be machines. On the other hand, there's supposed to be something about us that's beyond the machine.

And so I was very, very curious. And so I started I went to UCLA and did an undergraduate degree in which I was studying computer science, mathematics with a major in psychology. And then I went to MIT, where I went to the artificial intelligence laboratory. And what's now? The brain and cognitive science department.

And so I was able to then study both the brain and cognitive sciences aspect of human nature and the artificial intelligence kinds of models of intelligence, trying to put together a picture of who we are. What is human nature? What are we? Are we just machines? Are we just biological machines?

Are we just computers? Or is there something beyond the spacetime physical machine? And I wasn't sure, but I kept pursuing the mathematical models. And in 1986, my collaborators and I actually had a mathematical model and studying it, talking with my collaborators, I realized that the mathematics was saying to me, what you are seeing may not be the truth. And I still remember the moment when I realized what the math was saying.

I wasn't trying to get there with the math. I was just trying to get a general theory of perception mathematically. And when I realized the math was saying, you don't necessarily see the truth, I had to sit down. It was such a shock to the system. And so that was 1986.

That was 33 years ago. I've been now following that thread for 33 years and seeing where it takes me, and it's pretty interesting. So basically, that math was like a red pill back then. I took the red pill, or at least it was put in my mouth. I don't know if I swallowed it completely, but I was concerned enough that I wanted to look into it.

Do you ever feel like you wish you were back, you had never taken it, and you were just like everybody else? Oh, no. The blue pill is boring. And so I don't want to be there. I want to actually whatever reality might be.

If it's uncomfortable, I'm ready to go and find out what it's like. That brings me to how I first got introduced to you. So Tony Shea, who I used to work with at Zappos, I think had sent me he's the CEO of Zappos. He had sent me a Ted Talk. And he's like, Zubin, you're interested in consciousness?

You should check this out.

I looked at it. It was your Ted Talk where you were saying it was about not seeing the truth. And I watched it, and I said, oh, here's a scientist. So this is interesting visual perception and how we don't really see things as they are. They're constructions of our mind.

And not only that, but they're not even close to reality. They are purely iconic to help us survive. And we're not seeing the underlying reality on. You present this really interesting case. And I remember having this moment, it was a red pill moment where right towards the end, I was like I was just riveted.

And at the end, I said, oh, my gosh. So what is reality? And you just said, I have a couple of theories of what the world actually is, but we'll get to that another time, or something like that. And I thought, no. So then I went down the Don Hoffman rabbit hole and watched a lot of your lectures on what the theory is.

So maybe we should back up and go. You study visual perception. Why is it that you're saying, and in this book, the Case Against Reality, you actually do this, you build a case chapter by chapter by chapter, starting with things like split brain experiments. Like, how is it that you can cleave conscious experience in two all the way up to how insects can go extinct by trying to have sex with a beer bottle? Because it fools their system into thinking that's a female and all the way into quantum mechanics, general relativity, up to okay.

Everything we see is not what's actually happening. Take us on this ride a little bit, the way you describe it, right? And also the reason why I take this ride. I actually published a book in 1998 called Visual Intelligence in which I actually put out the idea that this is all just a user interface in 88, 98, 98. And in that book, the first nine chapters are sort of standard modern cognitive sciences approaches to visual perception.

But in the last chapter, I go after this idea that we're seeing just an interface, not the truth. And my colleagues use the book as a textbook in various universities and so forth. They like the book, except that last chapter, they go, hoffman goes off the rails on the last chapter. And I realized that there was only one way I was going to convince my scientific colleagues to at least take the idea seriously, maybe not convinced that I'm right, but take the idea seriously, and that was to use evolution by natural selection. If I could show that evolution by natural selection does not favor organisms that see reality as it is, then I would get their attention.

And I thought immediately that maybe it would be because the truth is too complicated, it would take too much time and energy, right? And it turns out that that's correct, but it's not the real deep, interesting reason. So as I explored evolution by natural selection, I realized there was a deeper reason that I'd never understood before. And the reason is this that fitness payoffs, which are like evolution, is like a video game. In a video game, you have to go running around in the screen as quickly as you can, grabbing points to try to get enough points to get to the next level.

If you do, you get to the next level. If you don't, you die. In evolution, you're grabbing what they call fitness payoffs, but they're like the game points and grabbing fitness payoffs to food, the right mates, and so forth. But if you get enough, you don't yourself go to the next level. It's your genes that go to the next level and your offspring.

And what I realized as I started studying this with my graduate students, justin Mark and Brian Marion, we discovered that what's really going on is that the fitness payoffs themselves, which is what we're going to be tracking. That's what our senses are going to be telling us about. It turns out that the fitness payoffs themselves in general do not carry information about objective reality. They just tell you, you're about to die. You're about to get something that you're good, you're bad.

Don't eat this, eat that, have sex with this, don't have sex with that that's all they're telling you. They're not telling you about the truth. And I can say that more mathematically, they're not homomorphisms of reality. So for mathematicians, generically fitness payoff functions are not homomorphisms of structures and objective reality, but intuitively, it's just that fitness payoffs aren't about the truth, they're about what you need to do to stay alive. And that secured it for me.

That was a surprise to me that I learned in around 2008, 2009 that evolution was even further against seeing the truth than I'd ever imagined. And so I published a paper in 2010 in the Journal of Theoretical Biology with my two graduate students where we announced the results of the simulations. We did hundreds of thousands of simulations, and we found that organisms that saw the truth in the simulations went extinct when they competed against organisms that saw none of the truth and were just tuned to fitness. This is equal complexity organisms. And so I proposed then that it was a theorem that organisms that see reality as it is are never more fit than organisms of equal complexity that see of none of reality and are just tuned to fitness payoffs.

And I went to a mathematician, Chaitan Prakash, a longtime friend, who was actually there in 1986 when we were working on that mathematics. And I proposed this theorem to him, and he's a genius mathematician and he was able to prove it. So we actually have a theorem, and then we've done further mathematics where we actually show yeah, in general, fitness payoffs destroy information about the structure of the world. So it's a theorem organisms that see reality as it is cannot outcompete organisms of equal complexity that see none of reality and are just tuned to fitness payoffs. Okay, so let me reiterate this because it's important.

And by the way, for people who want to get a more broad overview of all this, listen to the first show I did with Don, which was an audio only podcast where we went through this whole arc of this. So we're going to go deeper in this episode. So this is for people who care deeply about the nature of reality, how we perceive it, consciousness and things like that from a scientific standpoint. So what you're saying is that if an organism sees the world as it is, it will go extinct relative to an organism that only sees the world in a dumbed down way that hides most of what's actually going on, but only shows the organism what it needs, the bare minimum it needs to survive and to reproduce? Absolutely.

So if you waste any of your perceptual time and energy on the truth, you are wasting your time and energy, it's not going to help you to stay alive. And you will not be able to outcompete organisms that spend none of their perceptual time and energy on the truth and only spend it on looking for the payoff points that help you win the game. So it's like in a video game, if some guy is playing a video game and he's just sort of looking around, enjoying everything and trying to figure out how it works and so forth, looking at the pixels and so forth. He's going to lose to some other woman who is focused on the fitness, on the points, on the game, on the game points and trying to get them and getting to the next level. So if you're doddling around with anything but the payoffs, you lose, right?

And that makes perfect sense because it's the same thing. Trying to understand then a video game. If you're looking at Grand Theft Auto, you're going, okay, so what I'm seeing here is a car and a bad guy and this and that. Is that really what's there? And some people would say, yeah, no, that's there because they're diluted.

But then scientists would say, no, that's not what's there. Don't be stupid. What's there? Take out a magnifying glass and look at the screen. There are pixels there.

So what's really there are pixels. And then if you go back even deeper, it's the little tinier pixels, right? And then if you go behind the screen, you'll see it's circuits and software that are hidden behind the whole screen itself. And in that analogy, is that the true nature of reality there is that base reality. Well, that shows the difference between what we're perceiving and whatever objective reality might be, right?

So it's a good metaphor to help break us from the idea that of course we're seeing the truth. When we see an apple on the table or we see the moon, it's just natural to think, oh, of course I'm seeing the truth. My friends see it, and they can see it when my eyes are closed. So of course I'm seeing the truth. And I'm saying, no, this is all just a headset, a virtual reality headset that we've got on.

And I look at the moon, I render it just like in virtual reality. I look over in Grand Theft Auto with a virtual reality add on. I look at my steering wheel, and so I'm rendering a steering wheel. But now I look over there, I'm no longer rendering a steering. There is no steering wheel because I'm not creating a steering wheel.

There is still in that metaphor the circuits and software and all the program of Grand Theft Auto that I'm not seeing at all. I'm just seeing the stuff that I render as I look around. I see cars and steering wheels and so forth. And not only that, but if you saw the circuits, if you saw the base reality objective, the thing in and of itself, you would not be able to play or survive in the game, right? The guy that just sees the steering wheel and the gas pedal and so forth will beat me if I'm in there trying to toggle voltages in the computer to try to win the game.

Good luck. I won't be able to do it quickly enough. Now, it's important to understand this. There's a few things you said here that will make people go, wait. It made Einstein go.

Wait. So you're saying the moon doesn't exist when I don't look? That's exactly right. That space and time themselves do not exist independent of us. So most of us think that spacetime is fundamental reality and all the objects inside spacetime are on the stage, this preexisting stage of spacetime.

I'm saying that whole idea is wrong, that spacetime is something that you create in this moment. You're the author of spacetime. You're not a bit player that shown up 14 billion years later after this stage was set. So we are the authors of space and time and all the objects that we see. We're not bit players in spacetime.

Space and time are constructs of our interface. Absolutely. So this is where it becomes very solipsistic if you're not careful. So solipsism meaning that, no, I am the only thing that exists and I create the world and everybody else is a figment of my imagination and so on. How is this different than that?

Yes, I'm not a solipsist. So a solipsist would say that, as you said that, yeah, we're creating all this and there's nothing but me and my creation. And I'm saying that there are other consciousnesses out there. I'm talking with you. I believe that you're not just a figment of my imagination.

Why, thank you. Means a lot to me. That's right. And I'm not a figment of your imagination. And that puts certain responsibilities on me.

Even though what I perceive as just an icon of zoopin, I need to be very careful how I treat that icon, because in interacting with that icon, I could literally cause pain to the consciousness of zoopin, and you could cause pain to me. So our interface gives us a genuine portal to other consciousnesses, all human consciousnesses. My cats are my icons, but I believe that my cat icons are portals to real conscious creatures that, again, I don't want to hurt. And a mouse, ants and so forth. The interface, I claim, is all to other consciousnesses, but the interface is like a visualization tool.

And of course, a visualization tool is there to sort of hide the complexity and dumb things down and so forth, because we'd be overwhelmed by all the consciousnesses out there. And so that's what spacetime is. It's a visualization tool. Okay, so there's a lot there. But one thing I want to ask, because I know this comes up a lot well, why don and again, for people who really want to go deep on this, read the book, why don is it that why can't you just say, yeah, okay, we're not seeing the truth?

Maybe we're just seeing part of the truth. Maybe we're seeing a dumbed down version of what's actually there. Maybe there is a dawn in space and time, but we're only seeing enough of it that we need to see to survive. We don't see infrared. We don't see microwaves.

We don't see X rays. I can't see at the microscopic quark level, but this stuff exists. We're just seeing some of it. And wouldn't that help us survive? And that's what most of my colleagues would say.

They would say, of course, evolution didn't shape us to see all of the truth. It only shaped us to see those parts of objective reality that we need to stay alive. And so that's the standard view. And what I'm saying is that if you look at the mathematics of evolution very, very carefully, it's called evolutionary game theory. We don't have to wave our hands about this.

So to my scientific colleagues who are thinking intuitively about evolution, of course they know evolutionary game theory is a precise mathematical model. And when you look at that mathematics, it says very, very clearly that it's not the case that we're seeing just those parts of the truth that we need. We're seeing none of the truth. Almost surely we're seeing entirely a user interface and the whole point of a user interface, like, for example, again, Grand Theft Auto, right. The whole point.

There's nothing in what you see in Grand Theft Auto that in any way resembles the circuits and software and voltages that in that metaphor is the reality. There's just no resemblance whatsoever. And that's not a problem. That's, in fact, an advantage. It allows you to control the reality even though you're completely ignorant about its true nature.

And that's what evolution has done for us. I'm saying we're not seeing just little bits of the truth that we need. We're seeing none of the truth. And that's what allows us to control the truth effectively, because we don't know anything about the truth. It would be too complicated.

And it's just not what we we need simple eye candy that lets us do what we need to do. So the truth is very complicated in order to survive and utilize what actually exists in reality. Because you're saying stuff exists. Sure. Stuff.

Meaning let's put that in quotes. There is a world. Right? It's not a figment of our imagination. It is a construction.

In other words, it's like a desktop on a computer. That's a good analogy you use. You see a trash icon. You can do things to that trash icon. You can throw away stuff that you want to throw away.

You can accidentally delete something and effectively die because the stuff is gone. So you don't take the trash icon literally. You don't say, oh, there's actually a trash icon there, but you take it seriously. Absolutely. But behind that trash icon are zeros and ones and voltage gates and quantum engineering, this microscopic level that you don't see.

And if you saw, you wouldn't be able to compose an email. Absolutely. And we pay good money for these interfaces to hide the truth. There are all these engineers at these high tech companies that are spending untold hours, thousands upon thousands of hours, to simplify and give us this user interface so that we don't have to deal with all the diodes and resistors and voltages. That's right.

And then there's organizations like Epic Systems that makes a big electronic health record that spend hours and hours and hours making it more complicated, more difficult to use. So that being said, okay, so let's say we're not seeing the truth at all. We're seeing a fitness function. We're seeing a user interface that we generate in a species specific way. So in other words, a cat that we see as an icon of this furry thing.

We cannot really get into its conscious experience because the icon we see is kind of just enough of the cat for us to survive. We know we can't really eat it usually. We can pet it. It has claws that could hurt us, but it's also very affectionate, which is a fitness payoff for stress reduction. So we see all those things, but we can't dig into its mind to go, oh, what's its experience of the taste of cat food or of being brushed or whatever?

But we can kind of guess because we can see when it's unhappy or upset or angry. But when you get to the level of this bottle of water yes. Now you're telling me right now that this is an icon. I see it as wet. If I drink it, I'm probably going to do okay if I'm thirsty, et cetera.

But this is where I think now, so you've talked about what the world isn't the world isn't exactly what we see. Right. That's a fitness payoff set of icons. Okay. So interface theory of perception is what you talk about in the book, the theory that you have that, no, we're not seeing things as they are.

And that dates back to your experience early on with the math of that. But then there's a parallel thing that you talk about in the book, which is and they're related, they come together, but it's this. How is it that we are aware of anything? How is it that a mass of goo in our brain, these neurons, gives us the taste of chocolate or the smell of an orange or the feeling of love? And no one has ever been able to explain that in any meaningful way.

And so how does that relate to this whole thing? Because one thing that people would say, Don, is like, well, we're just living in the Matrix, then it's someone's simulation. It makes perfect sense. Of course we're seeing icons as a simulation, but the base reality is there somewhere, right? So that's called the hard problem of consciousness, and it's widely acknowledged as one of the big open problems in science today, we have all these correlations between brain activity and conscious experiences.

Like, if I take a magnet and use it to inhibit area V four in the right hemisphere of your brain visual area V four you will lose all conscious experience of color in your left visual field. So color just drains it just drains away everything. You see the objects, but it's like a black and white television image. And then I turn off the magnet and the color comes back. And we have dozens of these so called neural correlates of consciousness.

So we know that brain activity and conscious experiences are correlated. But scientists, my colleagues and my good friends have been trying for decades very, very hard to come up with a scientific theory about how brain activity could cause conscious experiences. That's the standard view. And they've not been able to do it. And this is not for lack of trying.

So you have information integration theory. You have tanoni. You have even folks like Dan Dennett and others saying that consciousness is a kind of elaborate illusion. Others saying that it has to do with a quantum collapse in neural microtubules. Exactly.

And it seems like in most of these sort of physicalist interpretations they're assuming something and this is how it relates to your original line of reasoning. They're assuming that there's a physical world of matter that exists that atoms build up, molecules build up, cells build up neurons. And these neurons are causal. They actually cause something to happen in a physical world that somehow emerges the taste of chocolate, the feeling of love, the subjective experience. That's right.

And that if you give me that right, then I can spin you up a world and somewhere we'll figure out at some point how that leads to consciousness. We're just not smart enough. Maybe we'll never be smart enough to figure it out. Maybe these theories are on the right track, et cetera. But the truth is we're not even close.

Right? Starting with physical matter, in other words, assuming what you've already said is not a valid assumption just that the world exists as we see it. In other words, matter is real. Atoms are real. Electrons are real.

As such, neurons are real. So the failure of a lot of scientists who have been working on this including people like Crick and others who you've worked with who are colleagues of yours it's been a struggle. And so this is the hard problem of consciousness. Let's just work on it more using a physicalist basis, which is atoms exist. Neurons exist.

But you're saying, what if we're just wrong and we've made a rookie mistake? Right? What's that about? That's right. So we've assumed that neurons exist even if they're not perceived and that neural activity causes our conscious experiences or neural activity in an embodied brain.

Right? So it's your brain and your body interacting with an environment. And most of my colleagues, I'd say 95% to 99% of my colleagues working on this hard problem of consciousness are assuming, of course, that's the form of the solution, neural activity somehow will cause our conscious experiences. But as you pointed out, we've been utterly unable to come up with a scientific explanation for even one conscious experience. And these are all my friends, Stuart Hammer Off, who does the neuronal microtubules idea.

We're buddies, but when we get on stage at a conference, I'll ask him, so, Stewart, we're interested in doing science here. Can you use your collapse of neuronal microtubule quantum states to explain any particular conscious experience? The taste of vanilla, the smell of a rose, a headache? Anyone? Is there any conscious experience that you can explain this way?

And you'll say no. And I say, well, next year I'll ask you the same question. And that's the problem also with integrated information theory. I've asked Julio Tenoni a couple of times, can you use your theory to give an integrated information circuit, a causal circuit that is or causes the taste of chocolate or anything, and you can't do it. And so until we can actually have a scientific theory that actually makes specific predictions, this is the circuit, or this is the microtubule collapse that has to be the taste of chocolate, it could not be the smell of garlic.

And these are the principled reasons why, until then, there's not enough science on the table to actually even falsify these things. What they're really proposing are there are these interesting correlates, and it's true that there are very interesting EEG correlates complexity, correlates of consciousness, and there may be neuronal tubular collapse of quantum state correlates. I'm good with that. I'm not disputing that. The question is not about these correlations.

The question is, where is the theory? Sure, these things are correlated, that's fine. Where is the theory that says what is causing what? Or if it's an identity theory, if you're saying, no, it's not that the activity in the brain is causing the conscious, the activity is the conscious experience. That's one gambit that they'll take.

Fine. Give me precisely the class of neuronal activity that is the taste of chocolate and tell me why it could not be identical to the taste of vanilla. Until we're doing that, we again are not doing science, and there's nothing on the table there. So that's why it was realizing that these really brilliant colleagues and they're good people, they're brilliant, they're trying very, very hard. It's a framework.

Physicalism is a framework that's worked for three centuries. It's done a lot of good stuff, so they're not stupid to use that framework. It has given us all sorts of insights and modern technology, so it's actually a smart move on their part. But I don't think it'll work. I don't think you can start with unconscious ingredients and boot up consciousness.

It's just that simple. Let me say that again. Don does not think you. Can start with unconscious ingredients and boot up consciousness. So either if that's true, it means either there is unconscious ingredients and some outside consciousness, whether it's soul or spirit or consciousness, whatever you call it.

And that's a dualistic kind of philosophy. And so panpsychism is one philosophy that says, oh, no, you're right, don you cannot boot up consciousness from non conscious ingredients. So this bottle is both a bottle, it's a physical thing. It's an ad full of atoms and H 20. But it also has a valence of consciousness that's kind of tacked on and associated with that.

Yes.

What's wrong with that theory? I mean, is there anything wrong with that? Is that well, so I also have good friends who are who take that theory quite seriously. They're panpsychists.

Bertrand Russell, the very famous logician and philosopher, was one of the first to propose this kind of thing. He pointed out that the laws of physics are quite good at describing what matter does, but they don't tell us what matter is intrinsically. And so he proposed, and others as well, that maybe what matter is intrinsically is conscious experiences. And it's an interesting philosophical idea, but what's happened is it has never been turned into science. So panpsychism is a philosophical stance and an interesting one, but no one has been able to turn it into a mathematically precise scientific theory.

So as a scientist, there's nothing on the table for me. And most versions of it are, as you say, dualist. And most scientists are not on board with dualism. We want as simple a foundation to scientific theories as possible, something we call Occam's Razor. Make your assumptions as simple as possible in trying to explain two phenomena, the phenomena of science.

And if two experiments or I'm sorry, two theories can explain the same phenomena, but one is simpler in its premises, then of course choose the simpler theory. And so most scientists, myself included, want what we call a monistic theory, where we only have one kind of assumption. There is, for example, only physical stuff. So a physicalist is a monist. They're obeying Occam's razor except that they can't solve the problem.

So Occam's razor only applies if you can solve the problem, so their theory can't solve the problem. So you could be a dualist. Panpsychism is a dualism, but it's not a scientific theory. It's a philosophical position. And then I'm proposing just go with consciousness.

Let's have a mathematically precise theory of consciousness that starts as simple as possible, and then we have to boot up what we call spacetime and the physical world as conscious experiences within conscious agents that they're using as an interface, a simplifying interface to help them interact with other conscious agents. So your monism, your keeping with Occam's Razor and keeping it as simple as possible is saying, okay, the materialists are saying everything is physical matter. And somewhere from the big Bang up through evolution, a miracle emerges and that's consciousness that we can't explain yet you're saying, well, maybe this is just a rookie mistake. Right. We're mistaking our interface, which sees physical things we think are physical because they're hard when we feel them.

In other words, the experience of holding this bottle is of pressure, solidity, liquidity, color, luminance, these kind of things. And so, of course, since that's how I see the world, I'm going to assume this is fundamental reality. Yes. And it turns out for the last 300, 400 years that's worked really well. We can build iPads and microphones and transmit 4K video signals based on our manipulation of our icons in our desktop interface.

So it makes perfect sense until you go, well, but then how do we boot up consciousness? Right? Why is it that quantum mechanics and general relativity don't really mesh? Exactly. Why is it that quantum mechanics is so strange?

In other words, why is it that the idea of local realism, in other words, that something exists when it isn't observed in a particular spin or momentum or whatever, and that entangled particles can somehow interact in a way that violates locality, meaning things communicating less fast than the speed of light. Let's shelve that and say that physicalism is true and we get a miracle of consciousness and we get the mystery of quantum mechanics. What you're saying is, and this is what compelled me, you're saying scientifically science is not a dogma, it's a method of study. Right? You can study this.

Looking at the other way, the rookie mistake is, well, we confused our interface with reality. What if we said reality was the thing we're trying to explain, which is consciousness. Everything is consciousness exchanging experience. Experience is the currency of everything. And from that fundamental building block, the smallest conscious agent, you can spin up the interface.

Reality, quantum mechanics, every conscious experience, everything from near death experiences, to different levels of consciousness, to higher instantiations of consciousness, all of that. Is that correct? Absolutely. So I'm saying the consciousness is fundamental. So I'm going to try to do, as you say, a scientific theory in which I precisely state with mathematical precision exactly what I mean by what I call a conscious agent.

So it's a mathematically precise term. And I can talk about how conscious agents interact, how they share experiences and how as they interact, they create new conscious agents. And so I get a dynamical system. Think about it as a vast social network like the Twitterverse. These conscious agents are passing experiences and receiving experiences like tweeting and following.

And just like in the Twitterverse, there's tens of millions of Twitter users and billions of tweets and lots of stuff trending. No one could really grasp the whole richness of the Twitterverse. And whenever we have overwhelming social media data, what we do with big data is we find visualization tools to allow us to grasp the gist of what's going on there. And that's what we have in space and time and what we call the physical world. That's just a visualization tool that some conscious agents use to deal with this vast social network of conscious agents.

And we've made the rookie mistake of mistaking our visualization tool for the final reality. So space and time are our desktop. To some extent. They're a data compression tool. That's right.

So by having three dimensions of space you get a little extra error correction because all you really need are two dimensions. Because the holographic principle which we talked about in the past show too, says that really all you need is a two dimensional space with bits of information and you can encode three dimensional truth or experience. So what if the fundamental bits of information are experience, consciousness, awareness outside of space and time? Space and time is our construct.

Then it starts to evolve over time. So you have these one bit conscious agents that can then combine and instantiate. That's a term you use. Higher level conscious agents that evolve compete in this vast social network by exchanging experience. And it turns out the way humans exchange experiences is in a 3D spacetime desktop video game.

Exactly. Where the don icon, whose facial expressions are such that I've evolved to be able to read to the degree that I can, assuming you're not trying to deceive me. And it works very well for us, it dumbs down everything else. We see a rock as a rock, but in your conception then we see this rock. And this is where people get really upset when I talk about this theory.

They get angry. They're like, you're telling me a rock is conscious, bro, that rock doesn't know me, okay? I've thrown rocks, now I feel guilty. But that's not really what you're saying. What are you saying about a rock?

That's right. So I'm not saying that a rock is conscious. And in fact, I'm not saying that when I look at you, the icon that I'm perceiving, I'm perceiving your face and your body. But those are my perceptions. It's my icon.

That icon is not conscious. Zubin Domania, the conscious agent, is conscious. I don't see Zubin Domania, the conscious agent. I just see skin, hair and eyes. And that's my portal in my interface into the consciousness of Zubin Dominia.

When I see a cat, I've got a portal that's not as clear right into the consciousness of my cat. When I see an ant, my portal is really giving up. And when I see something I call the rock, I am interacting with conscious agents, but my interface has to give up. That's the whole point of the interface, is dumbing things down. So of course, at some point I'm going to get no clue into the realm of conscious agents from my interface.

That's the whole point. At some point you're saying it's too much, it's too complicated. I'm just going to ignore all that aspect of objective reality of consciousness. Just like my Zuban domenia icon isn't conscious, the rock isn't conscious. But my Zuban Domania icon is a portal into the consciousness of the real Zuban Domania that allows Zubin to interact with my consciousness and me to interact with Zubin's consciousness.

Whereas with Iraq, the portal is closed. I am interacting with conscious agents, but the portal is closed. There's no way that I know what I'm doing with them and I don't see them really doing too much to me.

So let me see if I can understand this with my monkey mind in my interface. All right? So a rock I'm constructing when I look in the direction of a rock, and when I even say direction, I'm talking in spacetime language, which is our interface. So we're sharing an interface. By the way, the reason you see the rock and I see the rock the same way is that we evolved a similar spacetime interface.

That's right. And we're interacting with the same objective reality. Yes. So people who say, well, then, no, but my car is my interface, it's not yours. No, we have the same species specific interface to a large extent.

We can talk about extents to exceptions to that because they actually prove the rule. We agree there's a rock there because we're looking at the same conscious agent, the same icon that's pointing to this. But it turns out that evolution hid the truth about that rock from us. Because if I actually saw what it was, first of all, it won't help me reproduce, it won't help me survive. What helps me survive is seeing it as a rock.

Because in my spacetime interface there's a certain energy it takes to pick it up. I can use it as a tool, perhaps. Maybe I can pulverize it into its constituent icons, manipulate my icons to build concrete. So that's helpful, but I don't need to know what's the actual experiential substrate of it. That's exactly right.

I am doing something when I take a rock and I crack it in half. I am doing something in the realm of conscious agents, but I'm utterly ignorant about what that is. Whereas in the case of the Zuban Domania icon, there's a lot, of course, that's going on in your consciousness that I'm unaware of. But I am genuinely aware, unless, of course, you're trying to fool me. I'm genuinely aware of some of your emotions, some of your thoughts and some of your feelings.

So there's a genuine portal there. Whereas the portal into the realm of consciousness is very, very obscure with a rock. And one reason why we're so stuck on these objects, why we say, look, there's a rock there. You see a rock. My friend sees a rock.

If I don't look, I can go touch it and I can feel the rock. So there really is a rock there. The reason objects like the rock and a moon and trees and so forth have such a grip on our imagination is something that PSJ called object permanence by the time we're 18 months of age. He points out, before 18 months of age, PJ. Said if you show a baby a doll, it'll play with the doll.

And then you take the doll and you put it behind a pillow. And for the baby that's not yet 18 months of age, they act as though the doll ceased to exist. But after age 18 months, then P-O-J Said you get object permanence and you put the doll behind the pillow, and now the baby is looking for the doll behind the pillow if they want to play with it. And later research showed that P-O-J.

His techniques weren't crude, were too crude. Actually, we get object permanence maybe around four months of age. But the point is that we're built to have this assumption that objects exist and are real even when we don't perceive them. And that's just automatically built into our psychology, to our perceptual psychology before we're of the age of reason, before we can even argue about it. So by the time you come to the age of reason, that's just one of the deep assumptions that we bring to the world.

It's not an assumption we question. And so that's why it's so hard for us to question that. We've always believed it from the time we could ever even start thinking. We've always believed that objects exist and are real and don't depend on us for their existence. And so I'm challenging something that was built into us before we could reason against it.

And therein, I think, lies the challenge in this theory. I think a lot of people intuitively reject it. It's like kind of being shown the red pill and saying, I want to go back in the matrix. This makes no sense to me. Everything I intuit about the nature of reality is that physical objects exist in space and time.

Now, again, I want to double down on making clear that you are not saying there isn't a reality. You are not saying we create objective reality. You're saying we create a representation of what is objective reality. And that objective reality consists of a vast social network of conscious agents interacting with each other and exchanging experience. Absolutely.

I have life insurance, and that's a bet that there is a reality that exists. My wife's consciousness could persist even if I'm dead. Yes. And so I'm betting that there is an objective reality that exists even if I don't perceive it. So much of your experiential world right now is a reality.

And I'm not perceiving, but a tiny little part of your experiential reality, the part that you're letting me see. And even if you tried to let me see most of it, I could never experience all the colors and emotions and things that you're experiencing. So you have an objective reality and every person on the planet has a conscious objective reality that doesn't depend on my perception for it to exist. So I'm not a Solipsist. There is an objective reality, but space and time and physical objects, those are my virtual reality.

We have a headset on. This is all a virtual reality headset. And as I move around, I'm rendering the chair, I'm rendering a bottle, I'm rendering a table, and then I'm garbage collecting. As I move around, the conscious agents that I'm interacting with are still there, whether or not I'm rendering anything. But all I can do is to render my interface as my way of interacting with those conscious agents.

That's pretty awesome. See, to me, that makes perfect sense, and it actually feels more valid than a physicalist interpretation because now there's a lot of weirdness in this that we could talk about for hours. And I think we should make this point that there are quite a few physicists now that are saying things like spacetime as an objective reality is doomed. It doesn't make sense.

You do this in the book very well, going through quantum mechanics and saying, hey, what's going on here? This actually doesn't make sense. If you're trying to say that objects exist in and of themselves in space and time, then you have to kind of say, well, quantum mechanics isn't right, but all experimental evidence shows that it is right. And it's weird in a way that it's more consistent with the conscious agent theory than it is with a physicalist theory. Am I wrong about that?

No, you're right in the following sense that experiments have shown that local realism is false. So the joint claim that objects exist and have definite values of their properties like position, momentum, and spin, and that those properties have influences that propagate through space and time no faster than the speed of light. So the joint of those two has been shown, which is local realism. That's shown to be false. Now, some physicists will then go and say, look, I still want to keep the realism.

Like David Bohem, for example, proposed that electron has a position and a momentum even when it's not observed a definite value, but that there's these non local influences. But there's another aspect, another theorem about what's called non contextual realism, which says non contextual realism. It turns out non contextual realism contradicts quantum theory. So if you're a quantum theorist, you have to say that non contextual realism is false. And that says both that realism.

So it's realism, but also that the properties like position, momentum, and spin have values that don't depend on how you look at them, how you observe them, doesn't depend on the context, doesn't depend on the measurement. That's the claim of non contextual realism and non contextual realism is false. And notice that's false independent of local locality issues. So I think non contextual realism is the real tough one here for our idea of realism, to say that a physical object has definite positions and other properties, momentum, spin and so forth, that don't depend on how we observe them, that is false. And that gets really closer to the heart of saying, well, now the realism is the really bad thing here.

But then you pointed out that state of the art physicists like Nima Arkani Hamed at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, they're saying, look, when we try to bring general relativity and quantum field theory, the standard model, of physics together into some kind of theory of everything. Or unified theory. We're finding that we're going to have to let go of spacetime. That physics for the last three centuries has been about what happens inside space and time. And now we're going to have to let go of spacetime.

It's not fundamental. There's something else that's more fundamental from which spacetime arises as an emergent concept or property. And they don't know what that deeper thing is. He's dealing with something called that he calls the amplitude. And what he's finding is in the Large Hadron Collider, when they shoot particles and smash them into each other.

And you start having these interesting events, like two gluons smashing into each other and four gluons spraying away. You try to write down the probabilities, what they call the scattering amplitudes, but the probabilities for these things to happen, all these smashing and scattering events, and you find if you do it inside space and time, so you do all those calculations in space and time. The math is nasty. You get hundreds of pages, even 1000 pages of algebra that you have to compute, and they've discovered. You miss certain symmetries in the data that are there, but cannot be expressed in spacetime.

But if you go to this deeper geometry that he calls the amplituhedron, you capture these deeper symmetries that are not expressible in spacetime, and the math becomes trivial. You can write it on the back of an envelope and calculate it by hand. And so these two things start to convince physicists that, hey, spacetime has had a good run. It was a great horse for 300 years. It's been really, really good.

But that doesn't mean it's the truth. It was a really good vehicle for our thoughts for several centuries. Now it's come to the end of its usefulness. We need something deeper, and they don't know what the deeper thing is. And the really brilliant thinkers at the state of the art aren't worried about that.

For them, this is like, holy smoke, fabulous. There's something new to learn here. The old guys and their spacetime, they did a good job, but us young guys are going to do something even more fun. So what's behind space and time? And how does it give rise to space and time?

Whatever the new theory is, it will be constrained by our old theories. Whatever the new theory is, when we project it into spacetime. We better get back general relativity, or generalization of it, and also the standard model or a souped up version of it, so we can't throw away what we've done. We don't want to throw away what we've done. In fact, it's a good all the work that we've done in the physicalist spacetime science is great work.

It is a constraint on any deeper theory we have. It better project back in spacetime to our current scientific theories. And the same is true of my models of consciousness. I will be able to test them as I develop the theory of conscious agents and get a mathematics of the evolution of consciousness. One constraint on my theory will be when I project it back into space and time.

I better get back all of modern science evolution by natural selection, general relativity, quantum field theory, or hopefully even generalizations of those theories. If I can't do that, I'm wrong. If I'm not smart enough to figure out what the dynamics of consciousness is about, then what I will probably do, or my team, is to look at the dynamics that we know about in space and time, pull it back from the interface into the realm of conscious agents and ask what kind of dynamics would give rise to the dynamics in space. Reverse engineer. Reverse engineer.

And then go, oh, so that's what consciousness is about. I hope to do it from first principles, but if I can't, then I'm going to fall back to, okay, I'm just not bright enough to figure it out. So we'll try to pull it back and reverse engineer, which the Chinese are very good at this. Yeah, they're pretty smart. It works.

Yeah, it works. Okay. All that is again, I'm a doctor. I'm just a medical doctor. Don I'm very limited in my icon, in my desktop understanding of this.

But I'll say this, that physics.

And I'm going to argue this medicine has hit a wall. Yes. And so we've been on a tear for centuries, like you said, and it's because we've really figured out in fine grained detail how to master this spacetime icon desktop that we have. So we're really good at manipulating icons. Surgery is manipulating icons, right?

We don't understand conscious agents or anything underneath it. We're like, I move appendix to outside of this physical space. Patient doesn't die. I take gallstone out of this tube. Patient doesn't die or have pain.

So actually there's an experiential connection, right? Patient no longer experiences pain if I move this icon here. But now we're at a wall where we're like, how do we explain schizophrenia? Our reductionist materialist approaches are no longer working. We're finding that things like the placebo effect, this sort of mind body integration, these kind of ideas, we can't explain them properly because we're using a physicalist framework.

We're mistaking our interface for reality, and we're running up to the boundaries of that. Well, how do you explain this? Well, what I think about your theory is you're saying, well, okay, this is the next iteration. Now let's reframe all this same science. You don't throw anything out, right.

You transcend and include and say, yeah, of course, exactly. In our interface. That makes perfect sense. Here's what's beyond the interface. So maybe now we can solve these bigger problems of how it is that all these we're going to have to get into how it is that conscious agents even work.

So maybe that's the next part of this conversation. Yeah, I think that's where the opportunity is with your theory. If it's true, you have mathematical model of how conscious agents exert dynamics with each other, how they instantiate higher levels of conscious, more complex conscious agents. So in that world, you and me are both perceived decide, act. That's what we're able to do.

Exactly. But we're made up of smaller conscious agents that are nested, that also do that, that feed up experience to us at the higher level, and we feed down to them. And it's this dynamic relationship that creates a human and also keeps psychotherapists employed. That's right. Because our unconscious mind is actually nested conscious agents that are in their own way conscious, but that we can't directly access that.

That's right. And I think there's as we get into the realm of conscious agents and talk about how they're nested and so forth, I think it's good to step back just for a second and say that as you were just saying a moment ago, we've gotten very, very good at the interface. We're like in the Grand Theft Auto example that we're using. We've become wizards at playing grand theft auto. We've become stunningly good.

We used to be really bad at playing our interface, and we died from not being able to take out problems in the body and so forth. So we're wizards at Grand Theft Auto. But now imagine someone who discovers that Grand Theft Auto, that's just the program on the screen that you're seeing. There's all the circuits and software, and they actually get access to the code and they realize that they can hack the code. They can start to do stuff to Grand Theft Auto that the wizards are going to go, that is magical, I had no idea that you could do that.

So the wizards themselves will be left in the dust. And that's what this new level of seeing the conscious agents behind objective reality is going to open up a Pandora's box. It will be allowing us to get behind the screen and get into the source code of the game and even change the parameters perhaps of space and time. So this is going to be the technology that comes out of this is going to be truly, truly stunning. All of our science, our scientific tools and our theories have been about the interface and how it works.

We've been wonderful at that the tools of science are up to the job of going beyond the interface and looking at this realm of conscious agents that are behind the interface and then reverse engineering that whole thing and playing our interface. So this is going to bring a lot of responsibility to us because it's going to open up. Once we understand the mapping from conscious agents into our spacetime interface and we understand how to hack it, who knows what kind of technologies are going to open up. This is great for science fiction to think about the possibilities, but it will leave current scientific technology in the desk. It's going to be a whole new level.

But now we can go after what I think. Right now my ideas are about this conscious agents realm and I should say what you described is exactly how I'm thinking about it, that you can have these simple one bit agents and it's really austere conscious realm. There's only two experiences that this consciousness has. What would it be like to be such an austere conscious agent? It's hard to put myself into the shoes of that conscious agent when they interact.

You can have two bit agents and four bit agents and all the way up to infinity. So you could have infinite conscious agents. And this opens really interesting technical questions. How many infinite conscious agents are there? Is there one biggest, all inclusive infinite conscious agent?

This is going to be a matter of theorems. Now, I don't know the answer. Maybe there are a bunch of infinite conscious agents and not one at the top. Or maybe there is just the one, in which case we're all conscious agents that are part of this one big conscious agent. But we're all genuinely single conscious agents, ourself interacting with the one.

So these kinds of issues which are obviously in the spiritual realm. Now, when we talk about infinite consciousness and so forth, we're talking about things that various Eastern and Western spiritual traditions have talked about. But we've only used words. For the first time we can use mathematics. And my definition of conscious agent is probably wrong.

So I could propose a definition of God. It's the one infinite conscious agent. So for the first time I've proposed a mathematically precise theory of the word God. Of course, I'm probably wrong. That's not the point.

The point is to have something precise on the table. So now science can start, because once you have something precise on the table, then people can jump on it and say, well, I think it's wrong because of that. And if we do this experiment, we'll show you that you're wrong. Now we can actually start to evolve our ideas. And so that's what I want as one feature out of this theory, is that we get a scientific spirituality, the biggest and deepest questions, the most human and personal questions, that for thousands of years we've only had words, lectures, but no.

Mathematically precise statements and predictions. Why shouldn't we use the best tools of understanding that we have, namely the scientific method, to address the questions that are the most important to us as human beings? Science is up to the task. And so what I want to see is an interaction between, I think, the genuine ideas that the spiritual traditions have come up with and the new methods of science that take those ideas, make them absolutely precise, make rigorous predictions that we can test and then go back and forth. That's how we find out which of our ideas are the genuine insights and which are just nonsense.

And of course, we have both, and spiritual traditions have both. They have genuine insights and they'll have nonsense. And how do we figure out which is which? We start to use the scientific method to make all of our ideas precise and then test them and then see what works and what doesn't. I'm very interested in those potential outcomes in science and spirituality to break down what is a bit of an animosity right now between the two non overlapping magisteria.

That's right. As Stephen J. Gould said. Right. And you're arguing no, you can use the scientific method to have a scientifically precise spirituality that has to do with starts with conscious agent theory and boots up everything, because higher agents than us, maybe classically, have been called angels.

Right. Higher agents than that may have classically been called gods. Right. Higher agent than that may have classically been called god. Exactly.

And you can actually start to talk about it in a way where people don't look at you like you're insane because it's not based on belief, it's based on, well, let's test this. Absolutely. By the way, the ideas that I'm putting out here, I'll be the first to say I'm probably wrong. So what I believe is that the ideas I've got now are better than the physicalist ideas, which doesn't mean that I believe I'm absolutely right. I think I'm on a better track and we'll see.

So belief gets in the way when dogmatism gets in the way. It's best to hold all of our ideas very tentatively. But on the other hand, you can't be too tentative in the sense that you do need to invest enough emotionally in them to really pursue them. Right. As a scientist, you have this balance.

On the one hand, you don't want to be dogmatic, I don't want to be dogmatic. On the other hand, I need to find the idea exciting enough that I'm going to invest my valuable time trying to write down the mathematics and pursue it. I think it's good enough lead to follow it. So there's this balance that we have to have between the two. Man, I tell you, this is the reason I became such a fan of yours.

And to be honest, all the stuff you just said in general is an answer to the question that I sometimes am faced when I talk about this stuff, which is, who cares? So, in other words, why do I care that everything's reality is consciousness or matter? Or why do I even care about consciousness? It doesn't get me through the day. Well, A, if you can hack into the source code, the technology changes.

B, we're stuck on so many scientific fronts and have been for a couple of decades now, so maybe we're missing something that could help us progress. And three, the fundamental thing that makes us human is our desire to understand our place. Right? And so, like you said, I think you're not supposed to fall prey to belief, but you have to be passionate enough. Passionate enough.

You know, it's funny because I went to, like, a three and a half hour workshop of yours at this conference in San Jose, which I talked about previously on my show. And you took people on this journey like, we're not really doing that here. We're kind of hitting all these different points. Kind of in the book. You do it and it's like, okay, let me make this case that everything we believe about reality is based on an interface and a rookie mistake.

And here's the deeper truth. Here's the math. Here's what a conscious agent looks like. Here's how that relates to different things we've done, like split brain experiments, turning a single conscious agent into two independently conscious agents that argue with each other in the same skull by cutting this meat called the corpus callosum, which we may presume is not meat, but some icon pointing to how conscious agents are exchanging experience. Yes.

And when you cut that physically, physically meaning you do something to those conscious agents, you now have two instantiations of awareness that are independent. And this is shown in experiment to actually be experientially true. So you took us on this journey in this conference, and you have scientists there. You have spiritual kind of people that are like, hey, man, the crystals, man. Is this like drugs, man?

And these guys cold. Like, the guy who invented the graphical user interface for the Mac is there. And these guys and I'm sitting there, and by the end, it was like, you get this feeling of emotion. And I'm speaking for myself, where I felt like, you know what? What you're saying, even if it's not exactly correct, is more correct than anything I've ever felt.

And I've studied science all my life. I do medicine. I take care of people. It's like that's when I said, okay, anything I can do to help promote this understanding, discourse, dialogue, expansion, refutation of this idea, I have to do. And that, I think, is how the intersection of science and inspiration and emotion and the human condition happens.

Absolutely. I agree that it's relevant because these are the questions that drive us. We are curious. Why are we here? What is life about what happens when I die?

These are the big, big questions that we would like answers to. And we have a chance with the tools of science, to take the spiritual insights and fashion them into something so precise that we can get precise answers to these questions. What happens when we die? Don, in your theory. Well, one interesting option is this, and I'll give you a metaphor that sort of spells it out.

Suppose that you go with some friends to a virtual reality arcade and to play virtual volleyball at the beach. So you put on your headset and bodysuits and you're immersed in a beach scene with a net and palm trees and seagulls and so forth. And you see the avatars of your friends and you start playing volleyball. And then one of your friends, Tom, at one point says, I'm thirsty. I need to get a drink.

I'll be back in a minute. He takes off his headset and bodysuit and his avatar collapses motionless in the sand. To you in the interface, in the VR interface, it looks like Tom is dead. But he's not dead. He just stepped out of the interface.

And perhaps death is like that. We see the body dead, cold, sitting there, lying there. But that's just the avatar that wasn't the consciousness in the first place. What I see right now in front of me when I look at Zubin, I'm seeing an avatar that I create. I'm not seeing the true consciousness of Zubin.

So if that avatar ceases to function, that doesn't mean that your consciousness is necessarily dead. I want to explore in the mathematics of this conscious agent theory what does happen. The theory absolutely allows that consciousness persists after what we call physical death absolutely allows it. The technical questions for me are so how much of the eye, how much of the memories, how much of my personality, how much of all those things persist? And those are going to be very interesting technical questions that I don't know the answer to.

So I'm really going to be interested to pursue that.

If we are these sort of nested conscious agents and we have access at a particular instantiation, in other words, we are the sum total of all these unconscious agents unconscious, all these conscious agents that are at this particular level where we are aware. We're not exactly able to access directly the conscious agents underneath us or the conscious agents above us, but both of them exert influence. So our conscious agent that's responsible for auditory perception is probably a nested consciousness that does something with experience out in the objective world of conscious agents that feeds it up to this particular level that we then experience. So death is an interesting thing. Absolutely.

Because what is it? Maybe the stepping back down through the instantiations or a stepping out into a higher absolutely. And I don't know the answer to that. That's going to be very interesting to ask that question. But the interesting thing is it should be a precise question, and the mathematics should allow us to give precise answers, or we'll need to enhance the mathematical framework.

The mathematics that I have to learn is network information theory. It's a fairly new branch of mathematics that's really come on because of the Internet and wireless and so forth. So fortunately, because of all this new technology, we've had to solve these problems. So it turns out the mathematics, graph theory related to agents interacting is a new and well developed and developing branch of mathematics. So I and my team are going to be learning this mathematics and using the theorems to try to understand how conscious agents interact and understand to try to answer the kinds of questions you were asking.

When we die, do we somehow interact with lower level conscious agents? Higher level? What's going on there? So the graph theory is going to be very interesting to go after this. But it's nontrivial math, I must say.

Any math for me is nontrivial math. Me too. I go to the mathematicians. Yeah, I mean, when I looked at your stuff, I've read one of your source papers that you'd published and looking at Markovian kernels and this kind of thing, and it gave me chest pain. But I also enjoyed it because it was a fun ride to try to wrap my particular interface around this kind of thing.

And then the question of artificial intelligence. Yes, how does artificial so we talk about artificial intelligence. The way we think about it now, is there's some ghost in the machine? There's a machine that's physical that we create that either approximates or somehow attains consciousness or at least is behaving intelligently. But you're saying something differently.

First of all, there's not a machine we're saying we can tweak within our interface something that might open a portal into the realm of conscious agents that we currently don't have. Can you explain that? Because this will melt people's heads because it melted mine. That's right. So I've been involved in artificial intelligence since 1979 when I went to the AI lab at MIT, and I've been very interested in it.

And the question of could AIS of course we can make them smart. They're beating us at all sorts of stuff now. So that's not an issue. The issue is, could they actually have genuine experiences? Could an AI feel love?

Could it taste vanilla and actually enjoy the taste of vanilla? Could silicon circuits and software do that? Most of my colleagues think yes. They think that somehow programs, sophisticated programs are in fact what consciousness is. Although they can't tell me the program and they can't say it's just an idea right now, it's a philosophical idea.

There is no scientific theory on the table. But in general, what they're saying is that somehow with these unconscious circuits and unconscious software, we will boot up real conscious experiences. So that's the question typically about could AIS be conscious? The question is could the circuits somehow that originally were unconscious could they become conscious if they're complex enough? I'm saying that's the wrong way to think about the problem.

We're assuming that circuits in space and time are objective reality but in fact that's just a user interface and we know that our user interface, as you said, gives us portals into consciousness. My icon of Zubin Domania is giving me a portal into the experiences of Zubin Domania. Very, very small portal, but a genuine portal. So for me, the question is this once we understand the realm of conscious agents with mathematical precision and we understand the mapping between conscious agents and their dynamics and our spacetime interface so that we understand it well enough to hack it, will we be able to open new portals in our spacetime interface into the realm of conscious agents? Perhaps using technologies like silicon and circuits and software will we be able to re understand that technology in a deeper way that allows us to open portals into this preexisting realm of conscious agents?

For what it's worth, I think the answer is yes. And I say that both with excitement and trepidation because that's unbelievable power and it's not clear what we're going to meet on the other side. I don't know if all those conscious agents out there are what we would call nice. I just don't know.

But notice it's not. Could unconscious circuits and software boot up consciousness? It's rather will we understand our circuit, our interface well enough and what's behind the interface of conscious agents well enough that we can rejig our interface perhaps using silicon and germanium and other circuit kinds of materials and open a new portal into the preexisting realm of conscious agents? So that's one kind of answer. I think the answer is yes.

But in that case we're not creating new consciousnesses we're opening portals to them. So there's another question here. Once we understand this technology could we create new consciousnesses in the realm of conscious agents? And if we look at what we can see in our interface right now we do see cases where it looks like new consciousnesses are being created reproduction, sexual or asexual when cells divide. We may be in our interface getting a pointer to a birth of a new kind of conscious agent.

When two parents reproduce sexually and have a kid we believe that we're being introduced to a new conscious agent and that new conscious agent is having conscious experiences that I don't have direct awareness. So the mother, the father have their consciousnesses. They come together. They have a child which has a consciousness that is opaque to them. They have to interact through an interface the body of that child to see what's going on with the child's consciousness.

So we seem to have hints in our interface of technologies for creating new consciousnesses. Now if that's right if that's the right way to read the interface. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. I mean, that's one thing I'll have to find out. When I get the theory of conscious agents more worked out in the projection, I'll be able to see, am I reading the interface wrong?

But suppose that's not wrong, that we really are seeing new conscious agents being created when we reproduce sexually or asexually. That would mean that there are technologies within our interface that we can use to create new conscious agents. The technologies we have are crude right now, having sex. It's not a high tech thing, but it works. Speak for yourself.

Yeah, right.

But eventually, once we understand that and we understand asexual reproduction just mitosis, we then may be able to understand how to use our interface to create new consciousnesses.

The AI thing. We may just open new portals into existing consciousnesses with the new technologies, or we may get to the point where we're creating new consciousnesses. But it's in a different way than the AI. Folks start thinking about it. They're saying, we take unconscious fundamental reality and make it complicated enough, and it creates consciousness.

I'm saying no reality is conscious all the way down. My interface is hiding most of it. But my interface has given me tools to play with the realm of conscious agents. Will it give me the tools to actually open new portals to consciousness and perhaps to create new consciousness? I think the answer might be yes.

Wow. It's a different way of thinking about it. I really like that. One interesting thing. Is consciousness like energy?

The question is, can it neither be created nor destroyed? Is there just an infinite, out of space, out of time conscious pool, and you're subdividing it? And so a child is like a little split off, and it starts to evolve out, which gets to the question of the evolution of conscious agents, their complexity.

That's getting to the limits of my brain.

But here's how I'm thinking about it. And I'm hoping to have a new generation of younger researchers that can help push these ideas further.

I don't think that there's a limited pool of consciousness. I think it's endless, and there's some dynamic that will never end. And one reason I think that is something that's called Godel's incompleteness theorem. Explain that. So Godel was this brilliant logician, mathematician logician, who did some of the most profound research in logic of the 20th century.

He was a friend of Einstein. They hung out together at the Institute for Advanced Study. And among the many contributions of Gerla was this that if you have a mathematical system that has a set of premises axioms, and it's sophisticated enough to actually, like, say, do arithmetic, then you can, as a mathematician, you can grind out all the theorems. You can use the axioms to prove all these various theorems. And what he showed, what Godel showed, was all the theorems that you get by grinding through the axioms mechanically will not get you to all the truths.

There are truths that can't be proven now, that truth that escapes your current set of axioms. Maybe if you increased your set of axioms or changed your axioms, you could get to that truth, but then there would be new truths that you couldn't get to by your proof. And this, I think, bears on science. Science starts with every theory, starts with premises, assumptions. These are the magic, the miracles of the theory.

No theory in science explains everything. There's no theory of everything. Every scientific theory says, please grant me these one or two or three handful of assumptions. If you grant me those, I can explain all this other stuff. But what God seems to be saying to us is no matter how what assumptions a scientific theory has, there will be truths that escape that scientific theory.

And when I think about this now from the point of view in which I say consciousness is the fundamental reality, that's all there is, how does mathematics fit into that? The way I think of it is that mathematics is like the bones within consciousness. It's the structure of consciousness. When we actually study consciousness, a field called psychophysics, we actually have for many decades, studied with precision conscious experiences in the lab. And they're structured.

We can write down mathematics. Math and consciousness are not alien. They're not separate. It's rather, they're really integrated, like flesh and bones into one unit. And that's why I think about, like, mathematics as the structural bones of consciousness.

It's not the whole of consciousness, but it's an essential and ineliminable part of consciousness. And given that now Godel's theoremist is telling us something very important first, my assumption is that all that there is is consciousness. So all that math and structure is about consciousness. There's an infinite variety of structures. And Godel serum is telling us the exploration of this mathematical structure and therefore of the consciousnesses with that structure is never ending.

Never ending. It cannot come to a halt. There is no halt. It's provable that this never halts. Is that the deepest dynamic of consciousness, the endless exploration of all the possibilities of consciousness and its structure?

That's the best idea I've got so far. It's like the kid in the candy store, but the candy store is infinite, and there's all sorts of chocolates and other things that you couldn't even imagine are out there. And go for it, kid. Explore it. It's never stopping.

That's what Godel's theorem seems to be saying to us. That seems to be saying to me that there's no end to the proliferation of consciousnesses. It's never going to stop. And so it's pretty exciting. It's very exciting.

So that's the best idea I have so far. That may be the deepest dynamic.

Wow, man. If that's true, it's beautiful. I hope it's true. It's as beautiful a thing as I've heard. And I have to say maybe that if that's true and everything again, consciousness is primal.

Math is the bones of it. These theorems say that it doesn't end. It's going to constantly keep spinning out and evolving. And we're a kid in the candy shop just making it happen. People ask about the meaning of life.

I can't think of a better meaning of life than that. Explore, explore, grow, evolve, enjoy, experience. That's the currency of everything. And love each other too, because we are all connected. Absolutely.

This is where all the scientists tune out. Okay, he said love, we're out. The interesting thing about all of that is, does it ultimately get at the dynamics of conscious age and evolution, that there is a deep drive, even that because entropy says, well, things go to disorder and so on. But yet evolution seems to be this. It's not truly an exception because the system still goes to disorder, but you're creating increasing complexity.

Maybe conscious agents really just want to connect and exchange and get more complex. I think that's a very, very good point, because it's in the interaction of conscious agents that you get new conscious agents. And so the exploration continues. I could imagine that the genesis of new agents comes from partly the interactions, the love, hopefully all love. We'll see the interactions between conscious agents leading to new ones, and maybe some I may have to postulate also de novo, new conscious agents just appearing.

We'll have to see I won't undo that if it's required, but won't have the minimum magic in any scientific theory. So it'll be interesting to see where that goes. But I think that the notion of love may play a role in it in the sense that it is the connections between conscious agents, the interactions between conscious agents, that does give rise to new conscious agents. So, yeah, I'm on board with that, man. And this is the thing.

People have talked about this stuff for millennia, right? But they've never talked about it with a scientific precision, with actual theorems. And and I think what I thought was so interesting about your work, again, is that you're bringing that to it. And even if they're wrong, at least we're trying this interesting. And if we're going down the wrong route, we'll find out, because those terms will be disproven.

Or you'll find something incompatible with it, and then you have to alter it. That's science. That's right. I think that we all want to understand who we are. We want to understand what this is all about.

And dogmatism gets in the way. Assuming that you know the answers means that if you happen to be wrong, you're stuck. And so it's best to hold our beliefs very, very loosely, have enthusiasm, but be open to be wrong. And the point about science is to be precise, so you can find out precisely why you're wrong. And hopefully, quickly, it's better to be disabused of your wrong ideas earlier rather than later so that you can move on.

It's hard for us because we like dogmatism seems to come natural to us. It seems to be part of our nature to say, I've believed this since I was five, you're not going to dissuade me of it. But that really closes us off to new ideas and new exploration. And so that may be part of this whole dynamic too. Maybe there's an infinite amount to explore and part of the exploration is letting go of what we think we already know.

That may be part of what this whole dynamic of consciousness is about, is this letting go of dogmatism is part of what it takes to be the kid in the candy shop that gets to do all this exploring. Hey, look, kid, if you stick with your dogmatism, you only get to see these candies over here. All these other candies are forbidden to you unless you're willing to let go and open up to a broader perspective. This man, Don Hoffman, you speak my language. These are the only things I am interested in anymore in life are these questions, which is strange because I'm getting older and these are the things, you know, I'm supposed to be interested in the minutiae of medicine and all that.

I'm like just manipulating icons. I want to know what's behind the icons. Okay, now there's a lot oh, man, where to even gosh so good. Could talk to you for like 30 hours. So I want to at least get into all right, let me ask you this question.

You're talking about closing off the candy shop because dogma we evolved reason not to find truth. We evolved reason to persuade others in our tribe that we're correct it's like our conneman's, Daniel Kahneman talking about system one and system two. Jonathan Height talking about elephant and writer. Our mind is really kind of two minds. We have this very conscious, deliberate, strategic, high energy requiring mind that does logic and reasoning and math and verbal and that sort of thing.

And then you have this unconscious, emotional, intuitive, heuristic mind that operates in the background in your conscious agent theory. Actually this actually might unfold in that you have this level of conscious agents emerging. Your current awareness and that's system. One like you can be thoughtful and deliberative, but that emotion you feel or that threat you feel or that fear you feel, that's your quick heuristic are the agents underneath feeding up to you and influencing your quote unquote free will, right? So in your estimation, each of these agents has its own kind of ability to perceive, decide and act based on its world that it's encountering, which is the conscious agent social network, the experience that it has and the action it wants to take.

But the lower agents kind of can constrain what the higher agents can do and the higher agents feedback and constrain. So your mind is this constant dynamic between processes unconscious to you and processes that you're conscious of and maybe even higher processes. When you go into a football game and you feel that connection, or you go to a church or a monument and you see art with other people and you're all tuned in. Like when I was at your conference, everybody was like this. And there was one sort of you could almost feel an emergent understanding, right?

And so it's this constant sort of dynamic. I don't know what I'm getting at with this. Beyond this is me thinking out loud about how our own minds work and how I can think about elephant and writer and condomin. System one, system two in the conscious agent framework. Right.

It's a very, very good point you bring up and I think it's an important issue. You're right that from evolutionary psychology it appears the best understanding from evolutionary psychology is that logic and reason in some sense evolved as a social tool of persuasion. This is the thesis of Dan Spurber and Hugo Mercier and others and it's controversial but it's very, very interesting and there seems to be a lot to it that we evolved logic and reason to persuade others about what we already believe. I mean, I think the right way to take down that woolly mammoth is this way. And we're going to need all 17 of us guys to do it this way together, because we can't do it by her, I can't do it by myself.

And someone else says, no, I think the right way to take down the woolly mammoth is this other way. Or I should run her off a cliff or something.

It's not the dispassionate search of truth tool that we might think it is. It's rather the social persuasion tool and some evidence that that's the case comes from. We are best at our logic and reason when we're in a social debate we find that ideas come quickly, we're quick on our feet and so forth. And a lot of my research is done in a group with other researchers where we're talking because it's in that social setting that the logic and reason that that's its native ground. That's where it evolved to hunt.

And so I get together with my team and we hunt ideas together because that's where the logic and reason evolved to do this kind of hunting of ideas and the back and forth but now at a deeper level. So that's evolutionary psychology and I love evolutionary psychology. It's an incredibly powerful tool so I'm not putting it down at all. In fact, I talk about evolutionary psychology in my book but I think there's a deeper point of view outside of space and time. Evolutionary psychology is a theory within our interface and there's an interesting assumption that goes into evolution limited resources.

If resources were not limited, there would be no need for competition and. There'd be no need for evolution. We could all just have everything we wanted. It's the limited resources. And I have to think is the belief or the idea or the experience that we have limited resources an artifact of our interface and not an insight into reality?

Reality itself. Resources may be totally unlimited and maybe in the realm of conscious agents it's not an issue. I don't know if that's the case, though. Then there would be a deeper dynamics. And when we project it into an interface in which it looks like resources are limited then we get this sometimes bloody competition for resources that leads to evolution by natural selection.

So I want a deeper framework in which we understand evolutionary psychology as a projection of a deeper dynamics of consciousness. So sort of getting at what you're talking about the whole dynamics of how does it relate to evolutionary psychology? I think it's going to be again, we'll have to have a deeper dynamics of conscious agents. And maybe when we project in an interface where we have this appearance of resource limitations we're going to get a lot of the features of evolutionary psychology coming out. This idea of resource limitation.

To me, I've sat and thought about this and by the way, so were you talking about social connection being facilitative towards reasoning and thought? 1000%. And I just want to put a point on that. In medicine, in healthcare, one of the great tragedies of the last decade or so has been the siloification of our communication. So instead of getting in a room in a doctor's lounge or at a nurse's station and exchanging ideas about patients with specialists and people taking care of them at all different levels we go behind a computer interface and we send staff messages.

And it's not the same. No. And so a lot of that fluidity, a lot of the creativity, a lot of the humanity and a lot of the brilliance of medicine has been sucked into algorithms and checklists and things that we think using a computer model of thinking the brain is a computer. We should think more like a computer. We're missing the underlying reality, the conscious experience of our patients, the internal experience and how it affects this physical icon of their.

And it's been a tragic thing. So we need to get away from that or at least use the tools where they're useful and use what we are uniquely human about, which is connecting with other humans that's right. More effectively. Now, resource limitation is fascinating because it's the central driver of everything in our current universe interface. The lack of energy and constantly having to budget.

If we had unlimited resource in other words, we have the hack into Grand Theft Auto where you have unlimited life points or whatever, right? Suddenly it's not much fun of a game, I'll tell you that, because you're just doing whatever you want. But all that competition, all the strategy, all the effort that goes into being frugal, making sure that maybe spacetime evolved as an interface because it tells me how many experience points I need to get to that apple over there means it's going to cost me this much calories. Why do we even need calories? So it's interesting, if you're going to dive into the fundamental nature of an infinite conscious universe, why is there finite resources?

Absolutely. And it may just be an illusion. The appearance of finiteness may be illusion. I'm not secure on that point. I mean, I'm not saying that I'm absolutely sure when I go at this realm of conscious agents itself, I may find resource limitations there as well, but I'm not sure that I will.

And this idea from Godel's therm that there's endless exploration and there's no limit to it makes me think that maybe it's unbounded in its potential. So maybe at this level there's limitation. I think you mentioned in the book, and I think this is an important point to make, that there are limited resources involved in being able to have experiences. In other words, having a large repertoire of conscious experiences is somehow costly. It takes effort and energy.

And so we dumb it down. By definition, at our particular instantiation of complexity, we can't overdo it or we run out of steam. That's right. Kind of like when we're using system two and we're trying to overthink things. Exactly.

It gets exhausting and we rely on our gut. That's right.

This idea of, again getting at this sort of limit. Again, this is a conversation for another time, but I have to make sure by the way, any comment on that beyond what we were talking about? Yes, I think that what you're saying is exactly the right way to think about it from an evolutionary point of view. Right. That's exactly the right way to think about it.

And the question is, is this resource limitation? So, for example, the argument that I've given that we have to have this interface that dumbs things down and so forth, the assumption I was making is let's assume space, time and matter and evolution by natural selection. The reason I did that was that's where my colleagues are. Those are premises that they will accept. So let me start with premises and a scientific theory that my colleagues will accept and show that it means that we're not seeing the truth.

This is just a dumbed down user interface.

Now, given that I've done that, I can now step back and say, well, but I don't need to commit myself to spacetime. I don't need to commit myself to evolution by natural selection being the final true theory. That was just the best theory we have so far and I can use that theory to bring my colleagues hopefully along to a new way of thinking about things. But now when I go to this deeper theory of conscious agents, I don't yet know whether the notion of limitation applies there or not.

That's really weird. When Einstein wrote down general relativity he didn't know that it was going to entail black holes. So that's the thing about scientific theories. That's why we do the math. The theory is smarter than you.

At some point the theory teaches you and you become a student of your theory. And I expect that there are all sorts of implications in the theory that I've written down. And by the way, when I say my theory I should mention my colleagues Chaitan Prakash, Chris Fields, Manish Singh, Robert Prentner, Federico Fajin I mean I'm working with so it's not just me, it's a whole group, whole team, shannon Dobson, so we're all working on this together. But the math is smarter than any of us. There are some pretty smart mathematicians in that group and the math is smarter than them.

It'll be fun to study what it entails. Are there limited resource implications or not? And one thing I got to say we were talking about this a little bit before. Nobody really funds this kind of research and it's just like I forget it was Sean Carroll or who was on Rogan's show recently and he was talking about studying the fundamental foundations of quantum mechanics and this idea that no one wants to pay for that because nobody cares. What they care about is what can you build using the current interface?

And so one thing I want to make sure that people understand is that there's people out there that independently philanthropically fund research they should look at the kind of research you're doing because it is in my mind the most important thing we can possibly study. And then I want to make sure that I mentioned this because this came up as soon as we started thinking about this and at the conference as well, which is you are someone who said, and you've told me privately and publicly you've never done psychedelics, you've never smoked a cigarette. You're a pretty straight shooter. Your father is a Methodist fundamentalist. This is not how you roll, right?

You're not some like yogi in India sitting on a mat all day doing psychedelics and saying the nature of consciousness is there is only consciousness.

What's? That I'm a geek. You're a geek like me. Now, the thing is, as someone who has dabbled in collagen psychedelics and who's talked to other people who have done them, it seems clear from anyone I talk to, I talk about this theory. They say, oh, yeah, of course, whether I've done five meodmt, or whether I've done that comes from a toad, or whether I've done psilocybin, which comes from a mushroom, or whether I've done LSD, which comes from synthetic ergotomines, ultimately from a mold.

I think all those things seem to do is open a different interface that now we encounter. And one of the common things that people say is it's an overwhelming experience that feels as real as our current maybe more real than our current interface, that they feel like they're seeing things that are there always. But that we have no access to and that they're able to make these sort of experiential have these experiences that, again, feel like maybe they're experiencing plant reality or fungal reality or something like that. And they have truly mystical experiences. Is it possible that something in these and these are microgram quantities?

Chemicals? If chemicals are an icon, right, could it be that you're somehow moving some sort of conscious agent that interacts with your network of conscious agents and some has some network effect that changes the interface so that transiently you can experience something even people say they're outside of space and time. They're eternal, right? Sam Harris in his book Waking Up talks about spending an eternal communion with a redwood tree while on acid. Wow is one of his earlier experiences.

He says one thing to think about this, it's another thing to experience it and it's ineffable you can't put it in words because it doesn't make sense in our current interface. Again, you haven't done these drugs. Do you think that's possible in this? Yes, I think that this whole framework allows that psychedelics may be a technology, perhaps an initial and crude technology by which we can hack our interface and either open up the interface to have a more direct perception of conscious agents or to transition to other interfaces. This theory allows an infinite variety of interfaces.

There's an infinite variety of exploration of different just kinds of interfaces and there is an infinite variety of conscious experiences that various conscious agents can have color, vision, taste, smell, touch, emotions. These are our limited range of experiences. The theory says there's an infinite variety of kinds of sensory modalities not just colors but sensory modalities that are utterly alien sensory modalities to explore. And so I would think that as we make progress on understanding the realm of conscious agents and our interface, we will develop technologies that allow us to systematically go beyond our interface and perhaps enter different interfaces and play in different interfaces and that we will go back and recognize that the psychedelics were the first very, very crude technology. We didn't know what we were doing.

It's like we first start playing with fire and then eventually we have rockets that go to the moon, right? But we had to start playing with fire before we could send someone to the moon. So that may be what's going on, the crude technology but eventually we will be not just psychonauts but we'll actually be in the realm of conscious in reality. We'll be in reality and we'll be going through the realm of conscious agents and exploring there and maybe even going beyond all interfaces and experiencing what is it like to be a conscious agent without an interface, without a self. And I think this is all fun to explore.

I think science fiction should explore this, and then hopefully, the science will catch up. With the imagination of science fiction, our mathematics can catch up. Yeah. Do you remember the movie Brainstorm with Natalie Wood? No, I don't.

It's one of these early VR movies from, like, 1979, and now she died in the middle of it. But it was a technology where you could put on a device and experience someone else's experience, and someone dies while wearing the device and recording. And so people have this experience of death. It's really interesting. I'll look at that kind of ahead of its time.

Yeah. So these ideas of opening these portals and this idea of consciousness without self experience, these are ancient spiritual ideas, right. You can access these things through meditation. I've had glimpses of these experiences in meditation. So a selfless conscious awareness that's just still silent awareness, as maybe even the substrate of what awareness is.

You can experience that. And I think we were talking earlier about Rupert SPYRA and other people who are more of the sort of mentors in this, how to discover this type of meditation. And it doesn't require drugs and it doesn't require anything like that, but this idea of this is kind of primitive technology like fire. I used to make this. Smoking marijuana is like being hit on the head.

It shifts your interface slightly. Right. And for some people, this is my theory. For some people who are innately anxious or restless or something's wrong, it shifts the interface slightly so that they can actually get by. Interesting.

For others, like myself, it shifts it to be slightly more paranoid. I see. Tastes are different. Everything's a little bit turned up, and some things are turned down and sleep is disrupted. So again, thinking about it from an interface theory, the effect of drugs make a lot more sense than even thinking about it from a mechanistic causal.

The brain is causal as opposed to a correlate, an icon. How does a tiny compound make the brain somehow create this brand new insane experience? Makes much more sense that it's a rejiggering a little bit of our interface that makes me want to ask you this again, I don't know that we have an answer to this. How are our interfaces passed on? What's encoding them?

Oh, wow. That's a really interesting question, and it's a big open problem for me and my team. What is DNA? What is genetics? That is an interface symbol.

What does it point to in the realm of conscious agents? And why is it when we reproduce, we reproduce a consciousness that's very, very similar to us? Personalities are the same.

I really want to reverse engineer our interface to find out what is the DNA, what is that technology doing? Why would conscious agents in the realm of conscious agents tend to create new conscious explorers that are similar to them? Maybe it's like it's a systematic search that's going on, right? Of course, there are tens, hundreds of millions of different creatures that have been on Earth. So in some sense, there's been a wide range of exploration that's going on.

And maybe it's just a nice search procedure where we're searching this part of the search space. And so our children are really just new conscious agents searching more in the same part of the consciousness search space that we were in before. So that might be but how that cashes out in terms of DNA and understanding DNA in the realm of conscious agents? I am really eager to solve that problem. That's going to be really fun.

It's hugely interesting to me because the epigenetics even beyond DNA, but what does that mean again? What is it pointing out, really, if we believe this to be correct, this sort of interface theory, and by the way, for people who don't still believe that this is just an interface, the example of synesthetes, people who have synesthesia, they are mutants in the interface. That's right. They're variants where they may see tastes or feel tastes. So you give great examples in the books of people who do this, right?

So about 4% of us are synesthetes. So it's not a small fraction. And it looks like it's. From an evolutionary point of view, evolution is tinkering with the interface, and that's no surprise. We're mutating all the time, and that's how we adapt to new situations.

And synesthesia is a really good example for one of the problems that most of us have. Most of us think that when I see a bottle, there is a bottle. I see the moon, there is a moon. Physical objects have a real grasp in our imagination. It's hard for us to imagine that when I see a bottle, that it could be anything other than just seeing the truth.

It really is a bottle. And so synesthetes are helpful because there are some synesthetes that experience three dimensional objects for things that are not three dimensional objects. So Michael Watson, everything that he tasted on his tongue, he felt a three dimensional object in space in front of him with his hands, and he could feel all the way around it. It had a temperature, a surface shape, a texture. It could be pliable, it had a weight.

And so mint, the taste of mint, also made him feel in three dimensional space with his hands, a tall, cold, smooth column of glass. Somehow that seems right to me, but I don't know why that seemed right. So he spun up three dimensions. Three dimensions from a taste. From a taste.

And mint does not resemble a tall, cold, smooth column of glass. And a column of glass is not the right way to do mint, right? It might be that's right. In an evolutionary sense, in the future. It might be, absolutely.

If, for example, we were in a world in which women really prized men who could really cook. It turned out because Michael Watson had this extra dimension of taste. He felt it in 3D as 3D objects. He was a great cook, so he could cook in way with subtleties that maybe most of us. So if it turned out that women really loved men who could really cook, then his genes could have passed on and we would all every time we tasted something, we would not only taste it on our tongue, there would be all these rich three dimensional objects in front of us that we would feel with our hands.

How heritable is Synesthesia. Oh, it runs in families. So it does. So we're seeing this Heritable interface, right? So again, what is it?

What is DNA pointing to? What are the epigenetics? What is the other embryologic development factors that we're ontogeny? Recapitulates phylogeny. And we have gills and a table.

Right.

Lots to explore. I know. And these are going to be endless clues that if we're not smart enough to figure out from first principles what's going on in the realm of conscious agents, these are the clues that we'll pull back, we'll reverse engineer to help our imagination go where it couldn't go. Man, it's an exciting time. I'm telling you.

I really hope that there's more research along the lines of what you're doing, that your own research is well funded and publicized. Listen, the one thing you guys can do, ZPAC, is get this book and read the F out of it. It is fantastic, and it takes you on a journey. And look, if you get to a part about visual perception where you're like, this is too heavy, just skip ahead. There's so much stuff in the last chapter is about conscious agents.

He saves it all for the end. He's like, oh, by the way, here's the nature of reality. I'm like what? That's a whole book. That's like 30 books in and of itself.

The next book. The next book. The next book. Don, was there anything else you wanted to discuss as we pull up on how long are we going, Victor? It's been a while.

We're at 1230 right now. No, I think we've covered it pretty well. I think we yeah, absolutely. Although I could talk for like, another couple, three. It was just endlessly fun.

What we pointed out is there's centuries of work ahead in this framework. Centuries of work. It's exciting. Now people are going to be like, it's all BS and screw you guys, I'm going home. That's cool.

But I will say this topic of discussion is something that has provoked the most outrage from my audience. They get viscerally angry when I talk about this stuff. Wow. And then there's a contingent, maybe, let's say 15%, that are like, this is the only reason I watch your show. And they're like, really?

This is a field of inquiry that they really care about. And I think again, as the science starts to evolve, it's going to be exciting to bring you back and keep talking about your game. That'd be fun. Absolutely. And anything we can do to promote your work, let us know.

Again, get the book. I think the book is so important to really understanding the path that gets you to the realization that, okay, first of all, this is all a construct. Second of all, what's underneath? And if you don't believe conscious agent theory, then come up with a theory of your own. Right?

But one thing you cannot believe is that this stuff is real. I just don't think you can look at the science and believe that. That being said, Don Ha, and thank you so much for coming on the show, man. It was a great pleasure, zoo and I really thank you for having me on. Thank you.

All right, we out.


The number-one best-selling pioneer of "fratire" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Bold is a radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This is the July, 2016 ALTA (Asymmetric Linguistic Trends Analysis) Report. Also known as 'the Web Bot' report, this series is brought to you by halfpasthuman.com.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

4th Turning

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

Summary:

The text presents Dr. Donald Hoffman's theory of consciousness and reality from an evolutionary and quantum perspective. The primary idea is that organisms do not perceive reality as it is because such a process would consume a lot of energy and could lead to their extinction. Instead, humans and other organisms perceive reality through a simplified model, a graphical user interface, so to speak, tailored to aid their survival and reproduction.

This Interface Theory of Perception suggests that what we perceive around us, like a bottle of water, is not an actual representation of the object's nature. Instead, it's a simplified concept that our evolutionary process has adapted us to recognize and interact with, such as understanding that drinking water prevents dehydration.

This model also extends to advertising, where specific imagery, such as a burger in a McDonald's ad, is designed to interact appealingly with our evolved perception, often more effectively than reality. Even insects can be tricked into mating with inanimate objects that perfectly imitate the appearance of their female counterparts, a testament to how perception can be 'hacked.'

Dr. Hoffman's theory suggests that there is an objective reality, but it's not what our senses perceive directly. Instead, our brain constructs an image of the world every moment based on our evolved perceptions. This view becomes even more intriguing when considering quantum mechanics, which indicates that things don't exist as we understand until observed by a conscious entity.

The world, according to Dr. Hoffman, is essentially a vast network of consciousness (or "conscious agents"), with each agent being a subdivision capable of perception, decision-making, and action. These conscious agents interact and integrate in various ways, forming complex structures of experience and awareness.

Hoffman proposes that consciousness and awareness are not products of the brain, as traditionally understood, but fundamental elements of reality. Matter and neurons are tools we use to understand this vast consciousness network, fitting into our species-specific ways of perceiving.

The theory suggests that we only see a simplified version of reality to allow us to survive and reproduce. This limitation is due to our insufficient processing power to comprehend the incredibly intricate network of nested consciousness interactions.

The theory also touches on concepts of time and space, treating them as data compression algorithms for our species, helping us navigate and survive in the social network of consciousness. This implies that different species might perceive space and time in distinct ways due to their unique "data compression algorithms".

Finally, the text mentions ongoing work to validate and test these theories experimentally. The challenge lies in developing an experimental framework that could confirm that we are all units of awareness interacting with other units of awareness. Although Dr. Hoffman's theory is provocative and supported by mathematical models, it, like all models, may only be partially correct.

The conversation revolves around the exploration of consciousness and its interaction with the physical world. The participants discuss the challenge of testing the idea that we're all awareness, interacting with awareness, highlighting that it's difficult to confirm the validity of a computer model of this concept.

They suggest that time and space are data compression algorithms that help us comprehend our social network and facilitate survival. They argue that different species might experience these dimensions differently due to their distinct modes of perception.

They hypothesize that if the serotonin molecule, often associated with emotional states, is indeed a 'conscious agent' made up of smaller conscious agents, then it challenges our understanding of mental illness, medication, and the mind-body connection. Conversely, if serotonin is merely a group of atoms and electrons without the capacity to perceive, it contradicts this model, suggesting that there is a reality beyond just awareness.

They question the fundamental nature of reality and suggest that consciousness may be the root, not the result, of evolution. Consciousness is proposed to exist as agents, starting small and combining into larger, more complex agents over time. This model suggests that the highest level of consciousness, formed from all these agents, could be conceptualized as God.

The conversation explores the idea that the physical laws of the universe may be interpreted as the predictable behavior of conscious agents interacting. The unpredictability in human behavior might arise from the complexities of multiple conscious agents influencing our decisions.

Finally, the conversation touches on synesthesia, a condition where sensory experiences intermingle (like hearing colors), as a unique form of interfacing with reality. The discussion ends by asserting that, while everything might be consciousness, there are still 'rules' governing interactions in our perceived reality.

Episode: This Theory Of Reality Will Melt Your Mind - 03-06-2021

I want to pitch you this theory of consciousness and reality, and I want you to tell me as a smart person what you think. All right? Dr. Donald Hoffman is a professor of cognitive science and computer science at University of California, Irvine. He was on our show.

He has posited this theory, and it starts with this basic idea, which is, do we see the world as it is or are we seeing some abrogation that isn't even close to reality? And he actually was able to look at this evolutionarily. He studies visual perception and how people actually perceive stuff. And what he determined through lots of different studies and also different approaches in different fields, was that organisms that see reality as it actually is go extinct. So if you see the matrix as zeros and ones, you go extinct.

And the reason is it takes a lot of energy to actually see reality in all its complexity. And so the second proposition is, well, then maybe we just see part of reality, but it's still real. It's just not all of reality. And that's what most visual scientists propose. What he proposes is, based on his cognitive models and his computer models and his simulations, is that organisms that see any aspect of reality as it is go extinct in just a few generations.

Whereas organisms that see reality as a fitness icon designed to help them reproduce, thrive. So, in other words, there is no bottle of water here as such. There's no water, there's no atoms, there's no paper. There's none of that. This is a graphical user interface that I, as a human, have evolved to see to help me survive.

I see something wet that I know that if I drink it, I will not die. And so we have this shorthand hack in how we see the world. And over and over and over, he gives examples of insects who will go extinct having sex with a beer bottle because it's perfectly hacked their interface to look like a female insect. And these male insects in Australia, these beetles, will have sex with this bottle to the exclusion of beautiful females nearby because it is so perfect. This has been hacked in advertising with humans to make things look hyper appealing.

Any McDonald's ad where they're opening the burger and you see the juicy cheese and all that. By the way, the Vegans hate us, don't they? And all that, that's designed to hack our interface. And his theory is the interface theory of perception, that every species sees reality through a series of evolved hacks that allow us to reproduce. And so here's the punchline of that.

What is reality? Is there a reality? And what he argues is, yes, there is. There is an objective reality. It's not we're all not just making this up.

Our visual cortex isn't just constructing it. It's not something where and he's looked at the number of neurons in the visual cortex is way more than it takes to reconstruct an image, but just enough to construct an image. So we are constructing the world second to second in our minds every day. But the question is, based on what? And if you look he then digs into quantum mechanics.

And I read his manuscript of the book that he hasn't released yet. In quantum mechanics, they've pretty clearly established that there is no such thing as local realism. In other words, something doesn't exist until it's interacting with a conscious observer. It's a probability wave. So the moon maybe doesn't exist until conscious entities interface with it.

But what is it that we're interfacing with? And this is what when he described this in a Ted Talk and then I read his stuff and I had him on the show, I was convinced it felt intuitively correct to me. I want to see how you feel. You may say it's bullshit. The world is actually nothing but consciousness subdivided into things he calls conscious agents, which are little subdivisions of consciousness that sum up and break down, kind of the way you can have a one bit conscious agent.

And all a conscious agent is is able to it's a simple mathematical function. And he has the formulas to kind of show this, how they interact with each other and how they sum. The smallest one bit conscious agent is a plank length thing, the smallest thing you can imagine that can have three things. It can perceive, it can decide, and it can act. And the currency of reality is experience.

It's conscious experience from the tiniest levels all the way down all the way to the largest structures that we have. And so when we try to explain the consciousness, the hard problem of consciousness, how does the brain, how does this three pounds of wet goo create the experience of me seeing Peter in his cool racing hat with his kind of sexy stubble, which I wish I had? Yeah, it's an icon, but I like it. I'm going to call it Mycon because I want it. How does it create that experience?

The smell of baking bread? And the answer is we've been going about it wrong. We have to invoke a miracle in our current understanding. How do we go from atoms, neurons to experience? Well, at some point, there's a jump that no one has been able to explain.

You can wave hands. What he's saying is, how about you start with the miracle, which is everything is awareness and consciousness and matter and neurons are icons that we use in a species specific way to understand this vast network of social the social network of consciousness interacting with itself. And so what I'm seeing what's that, Tom? Are you saying lexi, dude. But what is really there on your insight is this vast realm of experience and perception and awareness and thought and emotion that I don't see.

What I see is my species specific hack that allows me to get through the world, allows me to reproduce, allows me to stay alive and allows me to survive in a way because we don't have enough processing power to see what I really think is there, which is this incredibly complex series of nested consciousness all interacting. And when you talk about books like this, where they talk about submins and meditation, what you're doing is you're taking your highest instantiation, which is the kind of aggregate of all these subminds, and you're looking and listening at those inner nested consciousnesses interacting with each other. And you're also connecting to maybe the deeper connection between all of us as a higher consciousness. Sounds like woo. But in his formulas, he actually shows how these things work mathematically.

And actually the formula reduces to the heisenberg sort of formula for electron probability cloud. So it's really quite fascinating. Can it be tested experimentally? Right. So this is what he's working on.

Now, you can computer model this stuff and the problem is it's as valid as any other model because it's hard to test. So the question is, how do you test that we're all awareness, interacting with awareness? Yeah, there's a famous actually, I don't remember which physicist it was. I don't think it was fermi. But a very famous physicist once said all models are wrong, some are useful.

That's right. And he himself says this is probably only partially correct because the idea is then, well, why would evolution even happen if conscious agents just exist and they're outside of time and space? It's really just that's an important piece of this. So we're wondering about time and space and are they real? Are they an actual thing?

No, they are a species specific data compression algorithm that allow us to make sense of this social network and allow us to survive. So space and time are different for you and me? Well, we're similar because we have the same species, presumably, although you're probably more involved than me. But like a dog or a cat or a fruit fly, are all awareness interacting with other awareness? But the way they see the world in space and time is a totally different construct.

And so all of it is constructed, which transforms in my mind, let's say it's true and we'll talk about how we can test it because I think we should brainstorm ways to test it. But I think it transforms how you think about mental illness. So what is mental illness but in our reductionist materialist viewpoint, which we're very good as doctors at thinking because we've been conditioned to think that, and I think there's a lot of truth. The way we do medicine now is we are really good at moving the icons around on the desktop. We know that a serotonin icon, when put into a human icon's bloodstream, does something to a subjective description of experience from that human subject in terms of depression.

But what is really happening. We're like monkeys moving these icons around, but what's the transistors and the electrons that actually make it up? If the serotonin molecule is really a conscious agent, that's the sum of little conscious agents, and it's interacting with our conscious agent that reshifts how we think about how these medicines work, how the mind body connection. What if that's not correct? What if the serotonin agent doesn't have the ability to perceive?

So if serotonin is actually electrons, if electrons are materially real yeah. What if serotonin is simply nothing more than atoms, electrons, atoms with all of its constituent elements, right? Electrons, protons, neutrons. So if that's true, then it negates the entire model because it says something is materially real. This model says there is nothing real beyond awareness itself, and it creates reality on icons that allow it to evolve.

And this is difficult stuff to grasp as scientists, which both of us are. You are much more than me because it goes against everything we trained, which is Big Bang happened somehow. Matter organized into complex structures that through which consciousness emerged. We're saying consciousness was and subdivided into these smaller agents that combined into bigger agents and evolve over time into complex agents like ourselves that interact with other agents and social networks that probably form higher levels of consciousness. So you could actually posit what is God but all these conscious agents at its highest instantiation in a way that it knows more than almost anything because it's the sum of all these agents.

Now, how do you test it? So if serotonin is a molecule, then, yes, our reductionist approach is right, and we should continue to hammer at it. If it's wrong, we should still hammer at the reductionist approach because we're moving icons. So as Hoffman says, he says, just because the desktop trash icon on my computer desktop isn't literally a trash icon, and I'm not dragging real documents into it, that doesn't mean I drag my life's work into it and hit delete. Just because I don't take it literally doesn't mean I don't take it seriously.

So, yeah, we take our icons seriously. We should know all about them, but we're going to hit a wall. And I think we're getting there in our understanding because until we understand what is the fundamental nature of reality, we're not going to be able to manipulate it in a way that reduces suffering, which I think is what we're trying to do right? When you talk about health span, you're talking about the longest possible life with the most enjoyment or happiness or fulfillment or whatever their individual's goal is. And to me, that's like a lack of suffering.

No one wants to live to suffer unless you're a BDSM bondage person. And even that's not suffering because it's actually pleasure for them. So suffering is a mental construct. Pain is eternal. Suffering is optional because it's how we frame it.

What do you think I don't know. It's hard for me to actually internalize that because letting go of subatomic structures as sort of not being real, that would just require a lot more understanding on my part. Let me say this. Subatomic structures are absolutely real as icons. So, in other words, they mean something.

They're an image. Yeah, I think trying to imagine that they have their own state of consciousness is you know, it's not even for me to understand. It's not even that. So okay, let me dig into that a little bit because this is something that I have to think about a lot. That's a dualist belief.

So in other words, the subatomic structure, electron is an electron with some awareness. That's a belief called dualism. It means that there is matter and there's consciousness and they're related. What Hoffman's saying and what I think I intuit from this is and I could absolutely be wrong and people get violently disagreeable to this idea. There's no electron at all.

Electron is a conscious agent that we see as electron through our species specific interface. It's how we've evolved to see the world we see it as. And we don't ever see electrons. We use equipment to intuit them. But then how would we explain physical experiments that have independently validated the same construct meaning?

So, for example, when Newton came along, he was the first to define a set of physical laws. And they held pretty well until the early part of the 20th century when at one layer below the Newtonian understanding, there was a new layer of physical laws that had to be described. Many of these laws have been independently validated. And I would think that if it was all a hack meaning if we were all creating our own construct, our own icons, it strikes me as improbable that we would be converging on the same descriptions, the same experimental identifications. This is a great way to think about it.

And here's how I would think about that. We have our hack, but it's based on reality. And reality is these conscious agents exchanging experience with each other. We see it as the laws of physics. We see it as an electron binding to this and this chemical reaction happening.

And of course, it will be validated because it's actually happening in the sense that these agents are behaving relationally to each other in predictable, precise ways that we can measure and science can quantify. It's just a question of are they actually wait, but why would the electrons, the protons, behave in a predictable way when you and I can't behave in a predictable way? Because we don't behave predictably, Peter. Because we are complex instantiations of multiple conscious agents that emerge a very high level of consciousness. So part of the reason you have these voices that are telling you you're an asshole and I have them is that we have that are unconscious to us.

Agents that are making decisions in the background that are feeding it up to our higher instantiation. It's very unpredictable. It's a complex system. The simplest systems, in other words, one bit, two bit, twelve bit, 100 bit conscious agents behave predictably because they have three actions perceived aside act. It might be that the one bit conscious agent can only have two perceptions, two actions.

And so it sums up scientifically, mathematically, as absolute predictability. But wait a second. If you collapse that to one and one, you could have a reductionist world if you had no choice, if all of the subparticles had no choice right. Wouldn't that it would become a semantic game. Well, if none of the particles had a choice, meaning you always knew how they were going to behave.

Right. Well, then it's the same as being materialist. It's saying they have no consciousness. So that's right. The definition of this is they have choice.

And here's something that's even more interesting, which, again, I just can't so probabilistically that just strikes me as impossible. Yeah, right. Because you couldn't have the order that we have in the universe if there was any choice to be made at that level. Again, I'm saying this as a guy who's bullshitting because he's hearing about this for the first time. But that's my sort of initial reaction, is I don't understand how you could preserve any order in the universe if there was any choice to be made in that regard.

Yeah. So what's interesting is when you look at actual quantum mechanics, there is uncertainty at the quantum level. There is uncertainty, but there is a predictive. Yeah, but exactly. It's defined by a probability function.

Right. But it collapses to something that's known once it's observed. Correct. So what is observation but two conscious agents interacting and exchanging experience that then allows this particular conscious agent to settle into a particular choice? So to me, it's not exclusive of that, having choice at the smallest level.

Now, again, this is the simplest of choices. Yeah. And one thing you said was interesting to me because I struggle with this, which was if we all see things differently as a hack, how can there be reality? How can there be objective, predictable, scientifically valid reality? Well, look at it this way.

So he gives the example, which I think is very powerful, of synesthetes. So people who have synesthesia, which is they experience the world very differently. Instead they smell colors or they hear sounds. Sorry. No, of course you hear sounds.

That's normal. You hear sights and you see colors when you hear sounds. And he gives examples of a guy who anytime he tastes mint in his hand, he feels a basket of ivy. And it turns out that guy is a synesthete. So his interface is a mutation.

Something has changed in the way how do you know that without functional MRI? Or is that the way that one can validate? He's actually done some of that on these guys. It's interesting. And there's parts of the brain that light up with touch, light up when he's actually thinking about mint or something.

So you've disaligned it, for lack of a better word. The relationship between the external and internal sensory, the cortex has basically been remapped. There's some remapping. Now, I would argue that the cortex is an icon we use to actually consciousness interacting with itself. But imagine that person now is a mutation of some kind that interfaces with the world differently because he can feel mint.

It turns out he's a glorious chef. So he has a career as a professional chef because he's able to take flavors and tactically feel them to him. It's real. That's interesting. It's like a basket.

He's putting his hand in a basket of ivy when he tastes something else. I forgot he would make a horrible surgeon. Could you imagine having to taste all of those body parts to be able because you rely on your feelings like chilled monkey brains. Dr. Jones.

No, it's true. So a surgeon would go extinct having that skill, but a chef would evolve. Now imagine evolution starts to put pressures on us where only the best chefs get laid and have sex and reproduce. Now, that becomes the default. That's the default.

So he's saying. But see, to me, that is totally explainable through Darwinian biology, right? That is completely understandable. So Darwin is essential for this theory as well. In fact, the core universal principles of Darwinism have nothing to do with DNA and molecules.

They have to do with is something heritable is. There evolutionary pressure on it and those sort of things. And that works just as well with conscious agents as it does with material stuff. So conscious agents can evolve over time to have perceptions that actually allow them to succeed in this social network where they're competing. And again, forgive me for just not having a goddamn clue what you're talking about.

Why is it that if that bottle is an icon, you can't make it lift up off the table by thinking about it? Because in the social network of conscious agents that happen to be this way, that is not a perceptual decision or an action. Why can't you override it? Because, well, there are rules between how these things actually interact. In other words, it's not a free for all.

It's not magical thinking. It's not like, well, just because everything's awareness I create like Deepak Chopra, he'll say something like, everything is consciousness. And so you can secrete, which is my way of using secret as a verb. You can secrete success and happiness and all that. Well, that's not true.

That's magical thinking. What we're saying is no, there are have you seen the big lebowski? Dude. Dude. The dude.

Abides. Stop. There are rules, dude. Okay? This isn't fucking 'Nam, all right?

There are rules. And the rules are these things behave just one of the worst parts about trying to be health conscious is that you can't drink white Russians as liberally as the Big Lebowski. Who says so?

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This is the July, 2016 ALTA (Asymmetric Linguistic Trends Analysis) Report. Also known as 'the Web Bot' report, this series is brought to you by halfpasthuman.com.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

Episode Summary:

The text challenges established scientific theories, particularly general relativity and current astrophysics. It suggests that these understandings are flawed and calls into question why stars emit light and the age of the universe. Additionally, the theory of subduction zones in plate tectonics is refuted, promoting the idea of an expanding Earth. The author also dismisses the flat Earth theory, claiming physical evidence supports an oblate spheroid model. The text criticizes the approach of physics that dismisses consciousness, and the investments in endeavors like CERN, and promotes a perspective that starts with consciousness.

Current physics theories such as general relativity and quantum mechanics do not explain observable phenomena in the universe, such as the expansion of planets and the universe, or the isolation of solar systems within galaxies. An alternative, the continuous creation destruction model, offers explanations based on the idea of an expanding universe where new hydrogen ions form, pushing galaxies and solar systems further apart. Traditional theories have led to convoluted mathematical models, like Eric Weinstein's unified geometry, which is critiqued as being inadequate. New models and changing sciences might change our language, particularly in discussions about the UFO world.

The speaker expresses skepticism towards widely accepted scientific theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity. They refer to alternative understandings, like the work of Kozyrev and the etherist model, highlighting a different perspective on magnetism, gravity, and the very nature of the universe. The speaker doesn't view the universe in a steady-state but believes it flickers in and out of existence rapidly. They further criticize the quantum financial system and dismiss the notions of Nasara and Gessara. The speaker values personal understanding over traditional scientific paradigms.

Hello, humans. Hello, humans. It's almost noon on the outward bound leg heading outward. That's one of those things where language really matters. There's a casual level of conversation that we have with people all the time.

And in that sense, language can be sloppy. You're not trying to communicate anything with precision. But we're increasingly coming into the Age of Aquarius, and we will note as a result of this that our language is going to change over, like, these next two or 300 years. And as it changes, it'll be altering to reflect a new level of precision in our discussion about science and the physical reality around us. So we're going to have to do away with quantum.

We're going to have to do away with our current understanding of astrophysics in many regards. So we are operating under a Naradigm, the Naradigm for physics, for the description of our physical reality is extremely flawed. It's extremely flawed at all these different levels. So our astrophysics physics understanding is very flawed, as is the regular physics understanding. All of this stuff relating to what we can basically call quantum or the Einsteinian view of the universe.

The Einsteinian understanding the EU. Einstein was wrong. His understanding is really bogus when it was applied to astrophysics. They can't answer any of the questions. So there's, like, some serious fundamental questions that general relativity does not answer, right?

Like, one of them is, why do the stars shine? And why do galaxies shine? Why can we see them? And you say, well, on the face of it, it's because they're like nuclear reactors. Well, they're not really nuclear reactors.

There's no nuclear reaction going on in any sun. There's no fusion, none of that. Our universe doesn't operate that way. But even so, general relativity can't tell you why stars emit light, nor why galaxies emit light. And then you can just go on and on and on.

So general relativity cannot tell you why galaxies are isolated from each other. And in fact, if general relativity were true, all suns would be attempting to have thermal equilibrium with the local space that they're in. So there would be no shining of a star. As soon as any little tiny bit of heat emerged off the surface of the star, it would attempt to dissipate into the surrounding region. And so we know that this is a bogus idea because they do shine.

Ergo, general relativity and quantum mechanics does not work. It's not valid. We can't use it. Okay? It also cannot explain the age of the universe, why redshift is the way it is.

It can't explain why we find no Entropic galaxies, we find no Entropic solar systems, we find no Entropic suns. All right? So our science is just seriously flawed. General relativity would say that given the size of our universe, perhaps a significant portion, somewhere over a third, maybe close to half of all of the galaxies and stars should have burned themselves out by now. In fact, we find that none have.

It just doesn't happen. So another aspect of quantum mechanics, although you don't really think about it this way, is the abysmal piss poor understanding of our own reality down here on Earth. And so the whole why do volcanoes go spewing off and why do earthquakes happen? All of this kind of stuff cannot be answered by our current physics. So our current physics insists that our planet has subduction zones, absolutely insists on it, yet not a single sub.

And they describe what a subduction zone is. A subduction zone, by the way, is where one plate in the continental plates is being subsumed, being ground down by being pushed under another plate. And it doesn't happen. There are no plates that are colliding. And so our understanding of the geophysical universe, our understanding of the planet underneath our feet is flawed.

From your high school and college education, right, your schooling, it's not education because there are no subduction zones that they can find anywhere on the planet. Subduction zone ought to exist all along the West Coast here in the US. There ought to be one right underneath the San Juan plates. Subduction zones should be constantly spewing heat, lava and material as the plates are one ground under another. And in fact, we can't find any of these millions of subsea volcanoes that should exist.

We don't find any of the heat outflowing from supposed subduction zones. We can find no proof of any subduction zone anywhere. In fact, the reality is that we live on an expanding planet. So all you have to do is change your mind and the world opens up and the reality makes sense again. So if you assume that they're right about the geothermal flow, then you have to say, okay, where are the subduction zones?

All right? If, on the other hand, you say, no, we're on an expanding planet. Well, an expanding planet does not need a subduction zone. It's not necessary for the physics to work out. And in fact, an expanding planet would never have anything like a subduction zone and would have all of these cracks and tears in it.

And lo and behold, what do we find? Cracks and tears all over the planet as the planet expands and the plates slide away from each other as they are moved away from each other as the planet expands from the middle outward. So there's tons of proof for the expando Earth. So if you go and look on YouTube, neil Adams, he's got some videos that show you how this expansion occurs. So there was never any guandano, land or pongia.

Those were the two names for all of the continents smooshed together. That didn't happen. It's because when all the continents touched each other, our planet was like almost 60% smaller. So as it expands, the thing rips open and the continents separate. Big duh.

A big well duh. What's the matter guys, open your eyes. Can't you see what the fuck's going on? And of course, all of the cracks and the expansion signs all over the planet, which we're now getting new ones off the coast of Oregon, et cetera, et cetera, all of those absolutely refute the idea of flat Earth. Sorry, guys, you've been fucked.

Flat earth doesn't exist. You can make up as much weird ass science as you want, but the mere fact that we have cracks and expansion marks all over this planet means we're spherical and it's expanding from the middle out, or rather that tends to support the idea that we're an oblate spheroid and we're expanding from the middle out. And I can even explain with my understanding of the continuous creation destruction model, why we expand, where we expand from, where it comes from. All of this and general relativity can't do any of that, can't explain any of the material reality around us basically at any level. And all of the money wasted on CERN trying to find smaller and smaller particles, et cetera, et cetera.

As I keep coming back to it, this all comes back to an atheistic view of the reality that we're living in that says, and this is explicitly from the Jewish quarter in terms of those people that are dominant in physical science, they insist that the only way you can have a physics is if you assume there's no consciousness. And you start with the rocks and the grit and the sand and work your way out until you can explain consciousness, which is like it's kind of bogus, dudes. I can explain consciousness because I am conscious. I can demonstrate that it exists, and I can start with that premise and work backwards. And it's a lot easier to do than starting with the grit and postulating smarter and smarter glue as we go forward that would keep that grit together anyway.

So we find that our physics doesn't explain the things we find out in space, it doesn't explain the existence of space, doesn't explain the size of the universe, does not even explain why redshift is as it is and it is not what they say it is. So you can't use redshift the way they say to analyze and predict distances.

So we live in an expanding planet that is a subset of an expanding universe, and so the universe is constantly expanding around us. All of the indications that quantum and general relativity would have, none of them do we find. So we don't find subduction zones here on the planet, and we do not find any dead solar systems floating around out in space, nor dead galaxies. Another thing about that is quantum and general relativity cannot explain the isolation of solar systems within galaxies and the isolation between galaxies. Okay?

So this is an observable fact of the material universe around us, and yet it can't be explained. It's a very basic thing and it can't be explained by the general relativity or quantum mechanics but it's very easily explained in the continuing expansion model of universe that's based on continuing creation destruction model because one can see that if the planet is growing from the middle and you get cracks, all the continents are naturally going to separate as the planet keeps growing. So sort of, so to speak, the continents stay put. The planet grows up around them, so to speak. I mean, it keeps pushing them aside.

That's the same kind of thing that happens to our universe. We get uncounted bazillions innumerable. We could never know the number it's so big of new hydrogen ions forming in our universe. Every millisecond probably even smaller than a millisecond, maybe even a nanosecond we're getting billions and billions and billions. A number so big we cannot conceive of it of new hydrogen ions forming in the material world in the matrium.

And these new hydrogen ions have the same effect on galaxies and solar systems that we see within the continents here on the planet where the planet grows and it shoves the continents further and further apart. Here we're in an expanding universe that's shoving the galaxies further and further apart and within the galaxies, each and every one of those is expanding which is shoving the more space in between the solar systems. And we know it's an electrical universe and that the suns which light themselves and thus also light the galaxies are, in fact, plasma. Critters right? They emit a plasma.

It's not nuclear. It's not a continuing nuclear thing going down to the middle of the sun. In fact, all suns are spheres that are probably most suns are very dense metals. So we think our sun is so our sun has a surface reaction because it's moving through space and creating electricity as a side effect of that movement. That electricity reaches the stage where material on the sun affected by the movement through space and the electrical charge that's building up will outgass that outgassing and illumination, the light, the new material being formed and so on is due to a plasma effect being created around this very large ball of iron, copper, gold, silver, other metals.

So I won't go into it now. But you can get into why suns are mostly metal why there is the distribution of material that we find in the universe, et cetera, et cetera. All is explainable by the continuous creation destruction model unlike general relativity and quantum.

The impact of this as we go forward over these next few years and perhaps several hundred years as we keep going is going to be a different kind of language because we will have a precision to describe and discuss these things that does not exist now because that precision is not needed. And the reason that we don't need that precision is because our paradigm is inaccurate and thus it is inexact and doesn't require an exactitude of language in order to communicate about this stuff effectively. But as we go forward and we develop this new model and they probably won't call it ether. And in my opinion, the Etherists were looking at the residual effects of the continuous creation and destruction model and that the ether is sort of like an after effect. It's not really a primary fluid, so to speak.

It doesn't exist as the etherist described it. It's not really an effective description of our universe and our planet and so on, although it is much better than what we get out of quantum and what we get out of general relativity or even special relativity, for that matter. And these guys keep coming up with more bizarre math all the time to try and make this shit make sense. And so we see these interesting little things like Eric Weinstein. He's always on Joe Rogan.

He's always bitching that nobody's taking him seriously as a mathematician. No one's taking his unified geometry thing seriously. And it's like, well, there's a whole lot about Eric Weinstein not to take seriously. But his unified geometry is horseshit. And even if it was mathematically sound and self and had its own integrity, it would still be horseshit because it's attempting to reconcile something that can't be reconciled, which is quantum mechanics and general relativity.

And so you got to make up more and more and more bizarre shit. So in a sense, general relativity, in my opinion, along with quantum mechanics is at the same level of flat Earth. So in order for the flat Earth guys to think the Earth is flat, they have to keep making up science to supposed science. They have to keep making up explanations for things that they see around here where it would not happen on a flat Earth, right? The Corollas effect and all these various different things that we have with our oblate spheroid Earth that simply would not exist on a flat Earth.

And so they're trying to reconcile it, and they're basically having to backfill. This is the same kind of horseshit that Eric Weinstein gets into with his unified geometry shit, right? I dispute that. Those four tensors that he claims can actually be derived from his work I know I'm not a mathematician. I know I've not been schooled to the same degree he has in mathematics, but I dispute that, okay, I can't make it work that you have to have all four of them or you get none of them, right?

Just the way that his unified geometry is, it either would express all four or it will express none of them as design patterns within his mathematical formulation. And in my opinion, it expresses none of them. There's just none of these things he's claiming for his unified geometry. Plus, like I say, it's bullshit anyway. And it can't reconcile the just our ups guy.

It can't reconcile any of the material world around us. And you just cannot get quantum to ever make sense because it's a bogus theory. The world doesn't operate on that. The world is complex but it's not complicated the way that the quantum shit and the general relativity shit is complicated because that came from the disturbed mind of a human and is not actually derived from reality anyway so our physics, everything, all of our sciences and stuff are going to change that will necessitate changing our language. I think a lot of that's going to start this year specifically this summer and fall as we get further and further and further into the UFO world.

Now, we need to know or we need to note that the Russian Z forces have had the Z on the symbol the rune Z have had rumored, quote, quantum weapons but it's not quantum. They're really scalar if you really want to think about it that way but basically these are weapons that are based on different understanding of magnetism and electricity and to that effect they also have a different understanding of time. Bear in mind cozy rib was a Russian. And in spite of the fact that the Soviet Union didn't like cozy rib and the Russian academy of science and everybody in the communist world was somewhat against him, they all recognized that he was probably the greatest astrophysicist that ever lived.

And his work still has vast quantity of stuff to be mined from it. I just got a new Cozy Rev book on his understanding of time and getting into the active qualities, the active principles involved in time. Very interesting indeed because all it is is the manipulation of the all it will take is the manipulation of two of those qualities that he's identified. And we've got our floating RV and we've also got ray guns and all different kinds of stuff just because of the nature of the physics involved here.

I understand it. I understand cozy, rep stuff. It makes sense. Whereas I understand what they are saying. I can read it and it is comprehensible when I read about quantum mechanics and when I read about general relativity but the theories being proffered make no sense and no one can come up with adequate explanations or support that overcome my objections.

So I've actually had physicists in arguments with me sort of like get up from the table and go away because they could not answer the questions and I wouldn't let them off. So our modern physics in no way explains why suns shine and even when they throw up. Oh, well, it's a nuclear explosion thing. Well, nuclear explosion thing continuing constantly to the level of a sun is not supported by general relativity. It should not occur under general relativity.

No sun should be much warmer than the ambient space around it just because of the nature of the physics that are proffered by general relativity. Right. If you get into it that's the way the universe should work. Obviously for me it's like okay? I've got a theory about this.

I see how certain things work, and I'm going out in the real world. If I had a theory that kept failing every single time I turned and had used it to try and explain something, if it kept failing and I had to come up with yet another theory to it, I'm lazy. I'd abandon that theory rather than try keep supporting it, right? But I do not have the inbuilt liability being put on me that is put on scientists, quote scientists, graduated people with degrees, the abslauschlong, the higher degrees in physics and stuff. I don't have the premise that they all operate under that all of universe is composed of grid.

Okay? So that's a big thing for me, like a big advantage, right? A huge strategic advantage from me is that I'm not shooting myself in both feet before I start the road race.

And so the scientists here, all these people, they're really fucking screwed. But we're going to unscrew all of our science over these next 100 plus years. There'll be all kinds of new stuff to figure out because this has been long neglected, but we're going to take Boskovich. And Boskovich was a scientist, Joseph Rodrerovich. He was Serbian.

He has a Serbian name as well as an Italian name. He was right on the border there. He lived at the end of the Byzantine Empire, and he wrote the most definitive description of the etheric of our current reality in an etheric paradigm, as has ever been done with very precise language. And he did it when was that? Like one, two hundred s at the end of the Byzantine Empire.

And so it has not been updated basically since then. And we need, in my opinion, to take that as our springboard and expand it, fill it out and complete it. Okay? There were so many things they could not have done during that time in terms of the kind of imaging and so forth that we can do now, and so now we can really build this out. But as I say, I'm not really even an etherist, okay?

So in my opinion, the Etherists see in the ether here, they see in our material world, they see an ether.

They described it as a fluid, but they see it as something. So there was an idea of an etheric fluid that supported the transmission of light. There was the idea of an etheric, that the etheric fluid supported the effects of gravity, et cetera, et cetera. Right? But the reason that they saw it as a fluid is because of a couple of things.

So they knew about magnetism. And then at one point we the fuck back when in the early days of the Byzantine Empire, some tests were performed and they were able to determine that basically everything emits magnetic fields, right? So if you look at a tree and you don't see a tree, but you see the fact that that tree is emitting from every single particle of it a magnetic field. And then you imagine that this is indeed the case with all particles of dust in the atmosphere, all particles of dust out in space, no matter how small it is, it has its own magnetic field. Thus, you could postulate that there was a fluid, so to speak, in the ether that supported the magnetic fields of all of this stuff interacting.

And that is a sort of decent way to think about it, but get you a lot further than quantum mechanics and general relativity, okay? So there's an electric car. It's going to be into trouble anyway.

I'm of the opinion I'm not an etherist. So my take on this is the continuous creation destruction model. And as a result of the continuous creation and destruction, you get this residual magnetism around every single point of every single bit of matter, no matter how small it is in the physical reality. And that magnetism around everything is a residual aspect of the creation destruction. It is not a supporting fluid.

So all of the people in the etherist model, as well as cozy Rev, who went a lot further than everybody else, especially in his work on time, but all of these people think of the universe in a steady state condition. I do not, okay? I think of the universe as flashing in and out of existence 22 trillion times a second. I have reasons for thinking this, which I've gone into repeatedly. But if you see the universe this way and you use that as your operating principle, that that's really the reality.

So now let's go in and extract the physics, the dammit car jeez, let's extract the physics out of this reality based on the fact that we're flickering and out of creation 22 trillion times a second, and all different kinds of things are revealed. So it's revealed that gravity isn't a force, right? We don't have to deal with that. So no wonder we can stand up and break the bonds of gravity. That the same gravity that supposedly is so strong that it's holding the planets in the relatively spaced appropriately, right?

It's holding them in position. And so if you don't have these limitations and you have this other paradigm, it is true you have an entirely different understanding of what's going on in reality, but you can also explain a lot more of it than they can with the quantum and with the general relativity. So I'm here for this next stop, correct? There's stuff there too, okay? Oh shit, Mr.

Drop off. Anyway, stop this here.

In my opinion, quantum mechanics is bogus. In my opinion, general relativity is bogus. And they're naming it because they have that name available to them. But for sure, the quantum financial system is bogus, okay? In spite of all the claims to Nasara being signed and Gessara and all this other shit, it's all bogus.

It's not going to go down that way. Anyway, I got to get moving, guys. So we'll do another one of these later.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

4th Turning

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.

Time kills Gravity - 03-21-2023

Hello humans. Hello humans. March 21. Heading on towards noon. Heading on the outward bound leg of things.

So I've got all my chores done, and now I'm going to head back into the wild part of the county to make it out to the coast and get home some interesting things with banks and that kind of stuff going on on. But I've talked about that on the way in. And now I want to talk about something that probably isn't going to interest hardly anybody at all, and that is the physics of our reality. But I may say some bad words about physicists and mathematicians and stuff, so that might be interesting. Anyway, so here's the general sketch of things.

We had a theory of the ether. And in the 18 hundreds, it was like 1880, there was this the Mitchelson and More experiment that they said at the time disproved ether, the the ether model. And since then, this is an 1880s. And then over the next few years, we get into the period of time where we start getting into both the emergence of Tesla, Nikola Tesla and his fantastic innovations. Now, that guy operated on an ether understanding of reality.

And he invented all of the electrical devices that we use today. They've refined them since and others have added onto it. But he invented all of the core stuff and made it all work.

So he shifted us so that single individual shifted us effectively into the electric age from wood, coal, gas, that kind of thing, for energy. So he shifts us into electricity. And as humans evolve, we evolve basically from dealing with energy in lumps into dealing with energy in more and more ephemeral forms, oil and then gas and then electricity, right? They are less dense as we go along. Anyway, so we have this understanding of the ether that a bunch of guys make an experiment related to the Earth.

I won't go into the details. The experiment was badly designed. If in fact they actually did it that way. I think that they designed the experiment badly. They wanted to prove the ether was not factual in order that it would derail a bunch of things.

It did derail a bunch of things, but nonetheless, Tesla still was hanging on to the ether and invented all this stuff. Einstein and all these other people at the same time that Tesla was doing his stuff were coming up with all this quantum bullshit. Okay, I say bullshit because since we have gotten into the whole idea of quantum entanglement, all of this other stuff, we've had no advancement. And so Tesla had I don't know how many hundreds of patents around the use of electricity, AC DC, commutators, all these different devices that he made. And Einstein has one little tiny patent relative to a tiny part in a refrigerator.

And so that gives you the idea of the ether is very much more powerful than all this quantum shit. And even Einstein could not reconcile all the quantum shit. And we've been in a stagnant position ever since. Even with the 1952 advent of the explosion of a fusion weapon. That fusion weapon, arguably even through Feynman's own equations was developed off of an ancillary part of one of Maxwell's equations.

And those are essentially derived from an etheric understanding of reality. And so quantum, in my opinion is bogus, bullshit, dead end, never going to go anywhere. And they started trying to make quantum work and they came up with this other thing which they called the string theory. And string theory was like it was not just a cul de sac where you could mill around and do stuff, right? The string theory was almost as though it was designed to give physicists and mathematicians an area to go and create new stuff that would have absolutely no effect on the material world because that was the end result.

And so since we've come up with Einstein, what, 100 years now? So basically we've been frozen in the quantum world for 100 years and quantum is never going to take us anywhere, isn't going to do shit. And they've abandoned all of the approaches that were leading us through like electrogravitics, the Teetowns and Brown approach. All of these kind of things have been abandoned because of the Kazarean mafia pushing us into a Kazarean mafia guy's idea which was Einstein and the quantum mechanics, okay? Quantum relativity.

And so all of that is bullshit now, all right? So the vast majority, like the majority of physicists are Ashkenazi Jews. They don't understand their relationship to the Khazarians and that's fine, right? They're just regular people being abused by the Khazarians like the rest of us. But they've been given a view of the world that's not factual.

Their view of the world says that the Ashkenazis dominate physics. Well, they dominate physics not because they're smart but because of the barriers to entry they put in for other people and other ideas. So my point being that nobody in officialdom is going to give my ideas here any credence whatsoever. But I'm factually much closer to description of reality than is Einstein. And this will be proven, I think fairly shortly, like within the next couple of years anyway.

So I've tumbled to the single point of reference that relegates Einstein to even lower than Newton because Einstein shit does not work at all but it puts him in his place, right? And it also allows all of the physicists who are still trapped in quantum reality and stuff and out. Okay? Because here's the situation. So let's describe something.

My point by the way is what we would call antigravity. I don't believe gravity exists though. It's not what we think it is. And so this is a big stumbling block. If you're trying to do antigravity and gravity doesn't exist then you're trying to be anti something that doesn't exist and you'll never succeed.

So I could be anti rain, and I would invent an umbrella, right? But if I'm antigravity and it's not actually gravity that's that's holding everything together, then my waveform or whatever the fuck I'm going to try and do my umbrella to gravity won't work because gravity itself doesn't exist the way that rain exists. Okay? So we're talking about the natural material world. I'm not going to talk about much anyway about any of the formulae or the variable aspects or functions in any of this, right?

Not going to talk about the math aspect of it because I'm much more interested in the practical aspect. I want my floaty RV.

I want the ability to what we would call levitate, okay? So all of these words are related to the idea that gravity exists. And we have gravity very clearly defined by quantum relativity or by general relativity, the Gr, they call it. We have all of this stuff very well detailed. They've gotten formula about it.

They've examined it. They've thought about it. They've mathematized it up its ass and back out again, and we go nowhere. We don't get anywhere. We got an understanding.

Gravity, they say mathematically, but that mathematical understanding. It doesn't work. It's bogus to begin with, right? Because basically the mathematics comes down to this conundrum. And here's the conundrum.

From a physics viewpoint, gravity is the big deal, right? It's the ultimate everything. Gravity holds planets together. Gravity moves, holds galaxies together. Gravity moves everything, right?

Gravity holds you to the planet. Gravity is theoretically causing all of the actions that cause the the oceans to have waves, all of this different kind of stuff. But gravity is also called the weak force. And here's the deal. Gravity will hold Earth in its relationship to the sun, okay?

Gravity is hugely powerful, but I can sit here, and I can send a little tiny micro current of electricity down one of my nerves, and it activates little microelectrical impulses in my muscles, and some muscles contract, and others expand, and I stand up. And so I've overcomed gravity. I've overcome the strongest force that's in the world, but it's also labeled as the weak force because we can do that. We can stand up. It's a movement ship, right?

Okay, so this is the conundrum that all of physics is facing, right, dealing with. Now, I've been reviewing a lot of videos from physicists as they discuss all of this stuff before I get into my next bit of deep thinking about all of these things on my way towards engineering a floating RV. And so I'm sitting there thinking about it, working it and stuff, and it's like these people have a okay, so general relativity, Einstein, all the physicists, all the mathematicians since that time, all believe and are operating on a hidden assumption, a hidden assumption that they never, ever question. They do not even know they are making this assumption now. They make all kinds of assumptions in their math, and they're trying to do things and come up with mathematical formula that will allow them to change variables.

And thus maybe we can make a device and get more in depth in our handling of stuff in terms of the material world in matter. But the assumption that they're making is that gravity is constant. And I'm not talking about the constant in a sense of a mathematical constant, that is to say, a number that is not variant, but they are talking about constant through time, all right? So when they think about that, they say, blah, blah, blah, gravity and so on, and they put time in their equations, but they have an underlying assumption that is not valid, that invalidates all their work, and they're never going to get anywhere. And that is and Tesla did not have this assumption in his work with the eventing electrical devices and stuff because he was coming from an etheric viewpoint, right?

That we live in an ether anyway, the assumption, the hidden assumption to all of their work, the clue that would allow, like, Avi Loeb or Eric Weinstein to get further along they won't listen to me, right? And if they did listen to me and it affected their thinking, maybe Avi avi is a very honest, intellectually honest kind of a guy, I think, and I have great respect for Eric Weinstein, but I don't know that his mind would allow him to accept what I'm going to say from me, okay? And so maybe he would accept it. Maybe his mind would have to come up with some other way to think that he invented it or something, right? Just because of the nature of his personality.

I like the guy, don't get me wrong, okay? I like the guy, and everybody irritates me, and I'm sure I irritate the fuck out of everybody.

Just because I find parts of his personality grading doesn't mean that I don't like it. And I even respect those parts that irritate me, okay? Anyway, though, here's the thing. I've looked at his geometric unity, and it actually followed some of the things I was doing at one point, which was this postulate of multiple hidden dimensions of the material world. And it's a dead end.

It doesn't get you anywhere, and it's also not factual. And there's an easier way to get around all of this stuff. It's a weird, goofy idea. These physicists and these mathematicians, they just won't give it credence, okay? But if you were to take away the assumption that time is invariant, that time is a thing that persists on its own and is there, then it alters all of the math for everything, including gravity.

If you take away the idea that time is perpetual and I don't want to say that that time is constant, if you take away the idea that time is constant, then all of the problems that general relativity tried to solve and never succeeded in solving, all of those problems go away. They're instantly easily able to be addressed. Okay? Gravity as a force goes away if you have the continuous creation destruction model of the ether instead of the invariant, time invariant, constant general relativity. So Einstein froze everybody in a mathematical construct that's bogus.

Nowhere does it reflect our actual reality. It reflects and encapsulates conclusions based on observations that are not supported by the reality itself. Now, maybe they did it deliberately. Maybe it was that he was just kind of dumb and couldn't think his way out of it. I don't know what the cause is, but if it was designed to hamstrung, to seize and cripple our civilization and not allow us to have any scientific or technical progress beyond a certain point, string theory and general relativity and quantum mechanics are all perfect for that because they stopped our society from doing diddly squat.

We haven't invented shit since Tesla in a primary way, right? We've come up with no new fundamental theories and no new fundamental breakthroughs within our material reality since the 1930s, since Tesla in there. Yes, we've exploded nuclear bombs, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about that was based on science and technology we knew in 1900, and in fact, we knew it in 1860 in the Civil War. They were examining the idea of fusion weapons.

The mathematicians, they weren't thinking about it that way. They were just examining mathematical equations that basically came out to dealing with fusion weapons. And in fact, Feynman references those in one of his lectures anyway, though. So to continue, the whole thing is that they have this idea that time is invariant, that time is perpetual. Now, in my model of the continuous creation destruction model, time only exists in these pulses, okay?

And in between the pulse, there is no time. And this pulse, there's 22 trillion of them a second. So time is flashing extremely fast, far faster than our minds and our bodies and our sensory apparatus, our eyes, ears, et cetera, could ever, ever, ever reach. So we'll never get to the point where we can hear reality creating itself 22 trillion times a second. And this is by design that we should not know that we're not living in a material world.

And because time is flashing 22 trillion times a second coming into existence and then fading out nearly instantaneously, it is just not quite instantaneous, right? So time persists for that 22,000,000,000,000th of a second, and then it disappears for an interval that has no time. So there's no point in attaching a number to it. But it does exist that a second in our reality is divided into 44 trillion parts. But half of those 22 trillion of them have no time in them at all.

So for certain calculations, you can just disregard those. And so that's why I say that there's a pulse 22 trillion times a second there's a void 22 trillion times a second. And it is that void that causes those effects in the material that allow our mind to see these things as constant. And so we've got to get really into definitions here. So time is perpetual.

It goes on forever. Time is continuous from 1/22-trillionth part of a second to the next 22,000,000,000,000th part of a second. But it is not constant because there is a void in there where time does not exist. During this void, all of matter rearranges itself.

Okay. It gets real tricky from this point on because you have to start talking about some really esoteric, internal kinds of things. Because the nature of our reality is that, no, all of the molecules are not rushing around trying to shift themselves into some other position because of the nature of the molecule carrying the space and the time with it continuously. It's not like bazillions of little tiny billiard balls that have to go and rearrange themselves before the next pulse in order that it might be there. It's much more akin, and even this is a metaphor and a very loose kind of a one at that, but it's much more akin that there's a switch that turns off all of our perception for 22 trillion times a second.

And during that period of time, matter is rearranged from where our minds thought it was. And thus, when it reappears, it's in an ever so slightly shifted position relative to our understanding of the reality that's out there. So in a sense, you could say that all of reality 22 trillion times a second is rearranging itself in our minds, in our perception. So it is both and all right, so it's both of those and neither of those, because it gets really complex when you get down into the actual math of the thing. This is kind of like a challenge.

I don't expect him to ever listen to me. It's my understanding that I've pissed off Eric somehow, right? And so maybe I've pissed him off because I contacted him and asked him, maybe it was even rude, asked him some details about his unified geometry thing, and he told me to piss off. This was so long ago. This was like, maybe a decade ago, long time ago, but it was so long ago, I don't remember how I responded when he told me to.

He didn't have to supply the details and I wasn't credentialed, so he didn't even have to talk to me. I took that as very rude, and I still think of that as very rude now. And I may have responded to him at that point by saying, well, go fuck yourself or something. I don't know. So I may have pissed him off.

In any event, he's not talking to me. He isn't listening to any of my communications, this kind of thing, right?

But if he were to understand that time is not solid, it isn't the constant. If he puts time in a variable, in its various, even as existence, then gravity itself goes away, because then you don't need gravity, right? Then you can postulate a world, a reality, a matrium, wherein I'm sitting on the chair now, and then so many 22 trillions of a second later, maybe it's going to be 10 trillion of those, right? Maybe 10 trillion little pulses later, I'm standing up, but I'm standing up. And I don't have to fight gravity or anything.

All I have to do mechanistically in this understanding is to not participate for that 22,000,000,000,000th of a second in the magnetism that's gluing all of reality together. And so my mind basically moves me independent of the reality. And we know this. If you wanted to get into the math involved and stuff, you can prove that this is factual by examining the idea that our bodies do not fuse to anything that there is. So in this material, there is this idea of co impenetrability.

So my molecules in my hand are not merging into the molecules of the plastic wrap around my steering wheel, and I can remove my hand later on. Well, if gravity actually worked the way that Einstein and general relativity came up with, and then all the gravity mavens have worked with since, except for the antigravity guys in the 1950s who we think went dark in the deep projects. But if gravity worked the way that general relativity said, then the molecules of my hand should actually fuse to whatever I'm holding. Just because the general relativity does not cover the whole issue of co impenetrability of matter. And that co impenetrability is instantly covered by what I call the Woo bowl.

And that is this 22 trillion times of a second creation and destruction in order that there might be movement and power and energy within the universe. And so general relativity does not describe where energy comes from. It sort of half ass tries to describe various different types of energy. But in my understanding and my etheric refinement of the ether idea here with the 22 trillion times of a second continuous destruction or creation destruction model, in that model, all of this stuff is easily explained co impenetrability, gravity, time. But you rearrange things from an Einsteinian perspective.

You do not put time as a constant. Time, in fact, is the result of a function. And so there's the time tensor. And gravity doesn't exist. You don't even worry about gravity.

It's not a force. All of these extraneous weak force, strong force, all of the Large Hadron Collider, all of that stuff has been a giant waste of time and a huge waste of money caused by general relativity, which is a wrong understanding. It arose as a result of the people faking, in my opinion, the results of the Mitchelson Moray experiment in the 18 I think it was like 1883 or something, right? 1880s. And there was a guy that maybe it was in the or 70s when they were starting to do the whole idea of space station, right?

Go to the moon and then have a space station and stuff. He worked out a bunch of stuff and I don't know who it was. He was like a Polish mathematician and it was either a relative of his or someone that had worked with him. And so he did his work in like the then he passed in the 80s, but in like the late 90s or the early two thousand s, a relative of his who at that time this arose out of the Czech Republic during all of their chaos and stuff. But this guy came up and said if we were to use that, we could duplicate the Mitchelson Moray experiment and prove the ether exists because we have the space station.

And because the Michelson%E2%80%93Morley experiment was done based on basically what it was looking for was an etheric trail being left in the ether by Earth as we passed through the ether. But their experiment was fucked, and the way they designed it was fucked. I mean, it was designed to fail, in my opinion. But anyway, so this Polish guy comes up with a math. His relative or someone that had worked with him 20 or 30 years later proposes a way to do this with the space station to prove the ether because we would be able to observe it mathematically and physically on the space station in a way that we could not do it on the earth itself while we're sitting on it.

And so in my opinion, we've actually proved that the ether exists, but no one pays any attention. It's all Khazari and Mafia, big system, big physics. So we have big banks, big government, big intelligence agency, big UN, big pharma, big CDC, all of these centralized things. We also have big physics. We have big academia where the entry to the academia is controlled.

I never went beyond high school. I was offered slots. Okay, so I won't go into all the details, but I left high school because I had credits and I didn't need to graduate in that period of time, right? Then I was offered a slot at West Point and I was also offered a slot at a naval academy. And I actually went and sort of like interviewed for the one for the Navy and then discovered they were going to shove my ass down in submarines because they were so desperate for people that understood engineering and had talents and all this kind of stuff.

And no guys, I ain't going to go. And I love the sea, I love sailing on top of the water. I don't want to be underwater, right? There's nothing to see. Boring as fuck.

So anyway, I decided not to accept that because no matter what I did, they were going to use my ability at math and this kind of stuff and put me on submarines anyway, so I didn't do any of that, but I could have.

I was pressured to try and get into colleges and I was accepted by a bunch of them and I didn't even pursue any of them, right, could have gone basically to any college I wanted. And this was when they were still teaching shit and not just gender studies and crap. However, I recognized from my own experience that far, and having at 17 and 18, having lived in the military for all of that time, I recognized that my personality type was not going to do well in the structured academic world. I would be continuously fighting it and I would have to knuckle under in order to accommodate their system, in order to progress myself within it. And I just decided it was too much fucking trouble and that I would basically do the shit I wanted to do on my own and not worry about it.

So I left high school and never looked back at the schooling system. But I recognized even then that academia was a closed system, it was a tight little club, and they were never going to let me in, so there's no point pursuing it now. I find myself possessing some interesting contacts to individuals who are following my work, and I'm talking about people that work in holes in the ground, that kind of thing, who are following my experiments with the mathematics and such. And I think I'm getting really close and I think they think I'm getting really close. But in any event, though, so I can fix Eric Weinstein's geometric unity.

Not that it needs fixing. It's a perfectly good theory and all of that. It just doesn't resemble our material world. Nor will it ever allow us to shift things out of constant figures into a variable state through functions, which is what's necessary to do. Engineering the functions of the spin of the electron, how much voltage, wattage, et cetera, those kind of things.

So anyway, I can fix it, but he's going to have to dump all the same kind of stuff I dumped way back when because it's an elegant solution mathematically, but it is not a factual representation of the material world that allows you to do anything. So basically, if you go tell Eric Weinstein for his geometric unity theory that time does not exist except intermittently, yes, it's both continuous and perpetual, but not constant. If you tell him that, then he can plug time in as the result of a function, but it'll eliminate all of his extraneous physical dimensions because they're not needed. As soon as you grasp the idea that time is variable in that sense, and this also allows us to have perceptions of time, that time actually varies as well as our emotional reaction to the time and our emotional harmonization with that time. So we feel the variance.

This is what allows us to have temporal pressure on organisms. So in my way of thinking, I like the ether and I like this approach because it simplifies everything, right? You don't need all these other dimensions which don't exist, and we have no proof of you don't need in string theory. There's no proof of any of the shit that's in string theory. It's a waste of time, doesn't get you anything, blah, blah, blah.

And all of this is available to us with one change of a thought, and that simply is that time is not continuous or is not constant. As soon as you understand that time is not constant, then you can go on in and you say, wow, look what that does. If that's the case, then gravity need not exist as a separate force because we're just basically dealing with the magnetism that glues everything back together after the destruction of everything in the void period. And if you think of things that way, then you get an entirely different view of our reality such that hopefully all the math will work. We can come up with the formulas, shift stuff out of invariance into variable states, and start engineering floaty RVs.

Because, see, here's the thing. If gravity doesn't exist, if in fact it's all magnetism at this level, then what happens is that 22 trillion times a second, your mind shifts your body relative to the greater material that we're in and there is no gravity pulling you to the ground. For that 1/22 trillionth of a second, you're magnetically attached to everything else in reality. And this also explains the continuous creation destruction model, also explains where the ether comes from, how it arises, its nature. And it describes the two different kinds of magnetism, the primary magnetism that glues reality back together and then flings it apart 22 trillion times a second.

And then the residual, the persistent magnetism that we see within the material that we use for electricity and shit like this. If these guys get this idea in their head, then fuck, we're into some heavy duty engineering and we're out of the theoretical physics aspect into applied practical physics. And that practical physics is going to lead to a floaty RV. Anyway, guys, I'm here. I got to get some more stuff done.

Take care. We're coming up into the financial crash and stuff. We're going to get through all this shit. We'll survive it all. Don't sweat it.

We're going to suffer. But we will survive. We will persist, we will get it done, and things will be very much better after we get shed of the illusions that are heaped on the illusion of our reality by the illusion that the Federal Reserve is part of the federal government, has reserves and is a bank, and it is none of those. So anyway, take care. Talk to you later.

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets—now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle—which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connecting the ideas in Crossing the Chasm to work subsequently published in his Inside the Tornado, and the second presenting his recent groundbreaking work for technology adoption models for high-tech consumer markets.

Endless terror. Refugee waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel: the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to power now is understanding our new age of networks. Not merely the Internet, but also webs of trade, finance, and even DNA. Based on his years of advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the losers are not yet seeing -- and what the victors of this age already know.

This lushly illustrated history of popular entertainment takes a long-zoom approach, contending that the pursuit of novelty and wonder is a powerful driver of world-shaping technological change. Steven Johnson argues that, throughout history, the cutting edge of innovation lies wherever people are working the hardest to keep themselves and others amused. Johnson’s storytelling is just as delightful as the inventions he describes, full of surprising stops along the journey from simple concepts to complex modern systems. He introduces us to the colorful innovators of leisure: the explorers, proprietors, showmen, and artists who changed the trajectory of history with their luxurious wares, exotic meals, taverns, gambling tables, and magic shows. In Wonderland, Johnson compellingly argues that observers of technological and social trends should be looking for clues in novel amusements. You’ll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

Nothing “goes viral.” If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today’s crowded media environment, you’re missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history—of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. Even the most brilliant ideas wither in obscurity if they fail to connect with the right network, and the consumers that matter most aren't the early adopters, but rather their friends, followers, and imitators -- the audience of your audience. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like and reveals the economics of cultural markets that invisibly shape our lives. Shattering the sentimental myths of hit-making that dominate pop culture and business, Thompson shows quality is insufficient for success, nobody has "good taste," and some of the most popular products in history were one bad break away from utter failure. It may be a new world, but there are some enduring truths to what audiences and consumers want. People love a familiar surprise: a product that is bold, yet sneakily recognizable. Every business, every artist, every person looking to promote themselves and their work wants to know what makes some works so successful while others disappear. Hit Makers is a magical mystery tour through the last century of pop culture blockbusters and the most valuable currency of the twenty-first century—people’s attention. From the dawn of impressionist art to the future of Facebook, from small Etsy designers to the origin of Star Wars, Derek Thompson leaves no pet rock unturned to tell the fascinating story of how culture happens and why things become popular. In Hit Makers, Derek Thompson investigates: · The secret link between ESPN's sticky programming and the The Weeknd's catchy choruses · Why Facebook is today’s most important newspaper · How advertising critics predicted Donald Trump · The 5th grader who accidentally launched "Rock Around the Clock," the biggest hit in rock and roll history · How Barack Obama and his speechwriters think of themselves as songwriters · How Disney conquered the world—but the future of hits belongs to savvy amateurs and individuals · The French collector who accidentally created the Impressionist canon · Quantitative evidence that the biggest music hits aren’t always the best · Why almost all Hollywood blockbusters are sequels, reboots, and adaptations · Why one year--1991--is responsible for the way pop music sounds today · Why another year --1932--created the business model of film · How data scientists proved that “going viral” is a myth · How 19th century immigration patterns explain the most heard song in the Western Hemisphere

Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention. This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value.

Some people think that in today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s the tough, take-no-prisoners type who comes out on top. But in reality, argues New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen, it’s actually those with the best people skills who win the day. Those who build the right relationships. Those who truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners. Those who can teach, lead, and inspire. In a world where we are constantly connected, and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust. Because no matter who you are or what profession you're in, success is contingent less on what you can do for yourself, but on what other people are willing to do for you. Here, through 53 bite-sized, easy-to-execute, and often counterintuitive tips, you’ll learn to master the 11 People Skills that will get you more of what you want at work, at home, and in life. For example, you’ll learn: · The single most important question you can ever ask to win attention in a meeting · The one simple key to networking that nobody talks about · How to remain top of mind for thousands of people, everyday · Why it usually pays to be the one to give the bad news · How to blow off the right people · And why, when in doubt, buy him a Bonsai A book best described as “How to Win Friends and Influence People for today’s world,” The Art of People shows how to charm and win over anyone to be more successful at work and outside of it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

Why should I do business with you… and not your competitor? Whether you are a retailer, manufacturer, distributor, or service provider – if you cannot answer this question, you are surely losing customers, clients and market share. This eye-opening book reveals how identifying your competitive advantages (and trumpeting them to the marketplace) is the most surefire way to close deals, retain clients, and stay miles ahead of the competition. The five fatal flaws of most companies: • They don’t have a competitive advantage but think they do • They have a competitive advantage but don’t know what it is—so they lower prices instead • They know what their competitive advantage is but neglect to tell clients about it • They mistake “strengths” for competitive advantages • They don’t concentrate on competitive advantages when making strategic and operational decisions The good news is that you can overcome these costly mistakes – by identifying your competitive advantages and creating new ones. Consultant, public speaker, and competitive advantage expert Jaynie Smith will show you how scores of small and large companies substantially increased their sales by focusing on their competitive advantages. When advising a CEO frustrated by his salespeople’s inability to close deals, Smith discovered that his company stayed on schedule 95 percent of the time – an achievement no one else in his industry could claim. By touting this and other competitive advantages to customers, closing rates increased by 30 percent—and so did company revenues. Jack Welch has said, “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete.” This straight-to-the-point book is filled with insightful stories and specific steps on how to pinpoint your competitive advantages, develop new ones, and get the message out about them.

The number one New York Times best seller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life - and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B. With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation’s most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn’t even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.

In The $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau tells you how to lead of life of adventure, meaning and purpose - and earn a good living. Still in his early 30s, Chris is on the verge of completing a tour of every country on earth - he's already visited more than 175 nations - and yet he’s never held a "real job" or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. There are many others like Chris - those who've found ways to opt out of traditional employment and create the time and income to pursue what they find meaningful. Sometimes, achieving that perfect blend of passion and income doesn't depend on shelving what you currently do. You can start small with your venture, committing little time or money, and wait to take the real plunge when you're sure it's successful. In preparing to write this book, Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who’ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It’s all about finding the intersection between your "expertise" - even if you don’t consider it such - and what other people will pay for. You don’t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris’s key principles: if you’re good at one thing, you’re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish - sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it’s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

The answer is simple: come up with 10 ideas a day. It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, the key is to exercise your "idea muscle", to keep it toned, and in great shape. People say ideas are cheap and execution is everything but that is NOT true. Execution is a consequence, a subset of good, brilliant idea. And good ideas require daily work. Ideas may be easy if we are only coming up with one or two but if you open this book to any of the pages and try to produce more than three, you will feel a burn, scratch your head, and you will be sweating, and working hard. There is a turning point when you reach idea number six for the day, you still have four to go, and your mind muscle is getting a workout. By the time you list those last ideas to make it to 10 you will see for yourself what "sweating the idea muscle" means. As you practice the daily idea generation you become an idea machine. When we become idea machines we are flooded with lots of bad ideas but also with some that are very good. This happens by the sheer force of the number, because we are coming up with 3,650 ideas per year (at 10 a day). When you are inspired by an extraordinary idea, all of your thoughts break their chains, you go beyond limitations and your capacity to act expands in every direction. Forces and abilities you did not know you had come to the surface, and you realize you are capable of doing great things. As you practice with the suggested prompts in this book your ideas will get better, you will be a source of great insight for others, people will find you magnetic, and they will want to hang out with you because you have so much to offer. When you practice every day your life will transform, in no more than 180 days, because it has no other evolutionary choice. Life changes for the better when we become the source of positive, insightful, and helpful ideas. Don't believe a word I say. Instead, challenge yourself.

A Guide to Resilience: How to Bounce Back from Life's Inevitable Problems Christian Moore is convinced that each of us has a power hidden within, something that can get us through any kind of adversity. That power is resilience. In The Resilience Breakthrough, Moore delivers a practical primer on how you can become more resilient in a world of instability and narrowing opportunity, whether you're facing financial troubles, health setbacks, challenges on the job, or any other problem. We can each have our own resilience breakthrough, Moore argues, and can each learn how to use adverse circumstances as potent fuel for overcoming life's hardships. As he shares engaging real-life stories and brutally honest analyses of his own experiences, Moore equips you with 27 resilience-building tools that you can start using today - in your personal life or in your organization.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim--but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next--and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others--subtle gestures, sounds, and signals--that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works. When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't. Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr.

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: “Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors”; thesis no. 20: “Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them.” The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book one that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple.That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Tesla's main source of inspiration.
Roger Joseph Boscovich, a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat, poet, theologian, Jesuit priest, and polymath, published the first edition of his famous work, Philosophiae Naturalis Theoria Redacta Ad Unicam Legem Virium In Natura Existentium (Theory Of Natural Philosophy Derived To The Single Law Of Forces Which Exist In Nature), in Vienna, in 1758, containing his atomic theory and his theory of forces. A second edition was published in 1763 in Venice

Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor's history of the Conspiracy since the Boer War in South Africa.
TRAGEDY AND HOPE shows the years 1895-1950 as a period of transition from the world dominated by Europe in the nineteenth century to the world of three blocs in the twentieth century. With clarity, perspective, and cumulative impact, Professor Quigley examines the nature of that transition through two world wars and a worldwide economic depression. As an interpretative historian, he tries to show each event in the full complexity of its historical context. The result is a unique work, notable in several ways. It gives a picture of the world in terms of the influence of different cultures and outlooks upon each other; it shows, more completely than in any similar work, the influence of science and technology on human life; and it explains, with unprecedented clarity, how the intricate financial and commercial patterns of the West prior to 1914 influenced the development of today’s world.

This is the July, 2016 ALTA (Asymmetric Linguistic Trends Analysis) Report. Also known as 'the Web Bot' report, this series is brought to you by halfpasthuman.com. This report covers your future world from July 2016 through to 2031. Forecasts are created using predictive linguistics (from the inventor) and cover your planet, your population, your economy and markets, and your Space Goat Farts where you will find all the 'unknown' and 'officially denied' woo-woo that will be shaping your environment over these next few decades.

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the "time flow" conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of "the active properties of time", by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics.

How UFO Time Engines work - Clif High

The webpage discusses the workings of UFO time engines according to N.A. Kozyrev's experiments. The LL1 engine is described as a hollow metal sphere with a pool of mercury metal inside. When activated by electrical energy, it creates a uni-polar magnetic field causing the mercury to spin at a high rate and induce "time stuff" to accumulate on its surface. The accrued time stuff is siphoned down magnetically to the radiating antennae on the bottom of the vessel, providing self-sustaining power and allowing for time travel. The environment inside UFOs is likely volatile and not suitable for humans.

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the filed of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work. The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this survey offers highly detailed accounts concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). Readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates, it includes much information unavailable elsewhere. This single-volume edition comprises both The Classical Theories and The Modern Theories, which were originally published separately. The first volume covers the theories of classical physics from the age of the Greek philosophers to the late 19th century. The second volume chronicles discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, focusing on special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. Noted historian of science I. Bernard Cohen, who reviewed these books for Scientific American, observed, "I know of no other history of electricity which is as sound as Whittaker's. All those who have found stimulation from his works will read this informative and accurate history with interest and profit."

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.

Objects are a ubiquitous presence and few of us stop and think what they mean in our lives. This is the job of philosophers and this is what Jean Baudrillard does in his book. This is required reading for followers of Baudrillard, and he is perhaps the most assessable to the General Reader. Baudrillard is most associated with Post Modernism, and this early book sets the stage for that journey to the post modern world.
We are all surrounded by objects, but how many times have we thought about what those objects represent. If we took the time to think about the symbolism, we could arrive at easy solutions. We have been so accustomed to advertising the automobile representing freedom is an easy conclusion. But what about furniture? What about chairs? What about the arrangement of furniture? Watches? Collecting objects? Baudrillard literally opens up a new world and creates the universe of objects.
It is not that the critique of a society or objects has not been done before, but Baudrillard’s approach is new. Baudrillard examines objects as signs with a smattering of Post-Marxist thought. In his analysis of objects as signs, he ushers in the Post-Modern age and world for which he would be known. Heady stuff to be sure, but is presented by Baudrillard in a readily accessible manner. He articulates his thesis in a straightforward manner, avoiding the hyper-technical terminology he used in his later writings.

Moving away from the Marxist/Freudian approaches that had concerned him earlier, Baudrillard developed in this book a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure.

The book begins with Sidis's discovery of the first law of physical laws: "Among the physical laws it is a general characteristic that there is reversibility in time; that is, should the whole universe trace back the various positions that bodies in it have passed through in a given interval of time, but in the reverse order to that in which these positions actually occurred, then the universe, in this imaginary case, would still obey the same laws." Recent discoveries of dark matter are predicted by him in this book, and he goes on to show that the "Big Bang" is wrong. Sidis (SIGH-dis) shows that it is far more likely the universe is eternal

In this book you will encounter rare information regarding your true identity - the conscious self in the body - and how you may break the hypnotic spell your senses and thinking have cast about you since childhood.

Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.

At the height of the Cold War, JFK risked committing the greatest crime in human history: starting a nuclear war. Horrified by the specter of nuclear annihilation, Kennedy gradually turned away from his long-held Cold Warrior beliefs and toward a policy of lasting peace. But to the military and intelligence agencies in the United States, who were committed to winning the Cold War at any cost, Kennedy’s change of heart was a direct threat to their power and influence. Once these dark “Unspeakable” forces recognized that Kennedy’s interests were in direct opposition to their own, they tagged him as a dangerous traitor, plotted his assassination, and orchestrated the subsequent cover-up.

2020 saw a spike in deaths in America, smaller than you might imagine during a pandemic, some of which could be attributed to COVID and to initial treatment strategies that were not effective. But then, in 2021, the stats people expected went off the rails. The CEO of the OneAmerica insurance company publicly disclosed that during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, death in people of working age (18–64) was 40 percent higher than it was before the pandemic. Significantly, the majority of the deaths were not attributed to COVID. A 40 percent increase in deaths is literally earth-shaking. Even a 10 percent increase in excess deaths would have been a 1-in-200-year event. But this was 40 percent. And therein lies a story—a story that starts with obvious questions: - What has caused this historic spike in deaths among younger people? - What has caused the shift from old people, who are expected to die, to younger people, who are expected to keep living?

The Tavistock Institute, in Sussex, England, describes itself as a nonprofit charity that applies social science to contemporary issues and problems. But this book posits that it is the world’s center for mass brainwashing and social engineering activities. It grew from a somewhat crude beginning at Wellington House into a sophisticated organization that was to shape the destiny of the entire planet, and in the process, change the paradigm of modern society. In this eye-opening work, both the Tavistock network and the methods of brainwashing and psychological warfare are uncovered.

A seminal and controversial figure in the history of political thought and public relations, Edward Bernays (1891–1995), pioneered the scientific technique of shaping and manipulating public opinion, which he famously dubbed “engineering of consent.” During World War I, he was an integral part of the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI), a powerful propaganda apparatus that was mobilized to package, advertise and sell the war to the American people as one that would “Make the World Safe for Democracy.” The CPI would become the blueprint in which marketing strategies for future wars would be based upon.
Bernays applied the techniques he had learned in the CPI and, incorporating some of the ideas of Walter Lipmann, as well as his uncle, Sigmund Freud, became an outspoken proponent of propaganda as a tool for democratic and corporate manipulation of the population. His 1928 bombshell Propaganda lays out his eerily prescient vision for using propaganda to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education. To read this book today is to frightfully comprehend what our contemporary institutions of government and business have become in regards to organized manipulation of the masses.

Undressing the Bible: in Hebrew, the Old Testament speaks for itself, explicitly and transparently. It tells of mysterious beings, special and powerful ones, that appeared on Earth.
Aliens?
Former earthlings?
Superior civilizations, that have always been present on our planet?
Creators, manipulators, geneticists. Aviators, warriors, despotic rulers. And scientists, possessing very advanced knowledge, special weapons and science-fiction-like technologies.
Once naked, the Bible is very different from how it has always been told to us: it does not contain any spiritual, omnipotent and omniscient God, no eternity. No apples and no creeping, tempting, serpents. No winged angels. Not even the Red Sea: the people of the Exodus just wade through a simple reed bed.
Writer and journalist Giorgio Cattaneo sits down with Italy's most renowned biblical translator for his first long interview about his life's work for the English audience. A decade long official Bible translator for the Church and lifelong researcher of ancient myths and tales, Mauro Bilglino is a unicum in his field of expertise and research. A fine connoisseur of dead languages, from ancient Greek to Hebrew and medieval Latin, he focused his attention and efforts on the accurate translating of the bible.
The encounter with Mauro Biglino and his work - the journalist writes - is profoundly healthy, stimulating and inevitably destabilizing: it forces us to reconsider the solidity of the awareness that nourishes many of our common beliefs. And it is a testament to the courage that is needed, today more than ever, to claim the full dignity of free research.

Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, considered the Messiah by Christians, and who lived 2000 years ago. But very few have ever heard of Sabbatai Zevi, who declared himself the Messiah in 1666. By proclaiming redemption was available through acts of sin, he amassed a following of over one million passionate believers, about half the world's Jewish population during the 17th century.Although many Rabbis at the time considered him a heretic, his fame extended far and wide. Sabbatai's adherents planned to abolish many ritualistic observances, because, according to the Talmud, holy obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic time. Fasting days became days of feasting and rejoicing. Sabbateans encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest and religious orgies.After Sabbati Zevi's death in 1676, his Kabbalist successor, Jacob Frank, expanded upon and continued his occult philosophy. Frankism, a religious movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, centered on his leadership, and his claim to be the reincarnation of the Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. He, like Zevi, would perform "strange acts" that violated traditional religious taboos, such as eating fats forbidden by Jewish dietary laws, ritual sacrifice, and promoting orgies and sexual immorality. He often slept with his followers, as well as his own daughter, while preaching a doctrine that the best way to imitate God was to cross every boundary, transgress every taboo, and mix the sacred with the profane. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Professor Gershom Scholem called Jacob Frank, "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history".Jacob Frank would eventually enter into an alliance formed by Adam Weishaupt and Meyer Amshel Rothschild called the Order of the Illuminati. The objectives of this organization was to undermine the world's religions and power structures, in an effort to usher in a utopian era of global communism, which they would covertly rule by their hidden hand: the New World Order. Using secret societies, such as the Freemasons, their agenda has played itself out over the centuries, staying true to the script. The Illuminati handle opposition by a near total control of the world's media, academic opinion leaders, politicians and financiers. Still considered nothing more than theory to many, more and more people wake up each day to the possibility that this is not just a theory, but a terrifying Satanic conspiracy.

This is the first English translation of this revolutionary essay by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, the great Russian-Ukrainian biogeochemist. It was first published in 1930 in French in the Revue générale des sciences pures et appliquées. In it, Vernadsky makes a powerful and provocative argument for the need to develop what he calls “a new physics,” something he felt was clearly necessitated by the implications of the groundbreaking work of Louis Pasteur among few others, but also something that was required to free science from the long-lasting effects of the work of Isaac Newton, most notably.
For hundreds of years, science had developed in a direction which became increasingly detached from the breakthroughs made in the study of life and the natural sciences, detached even from human life itself, and committed reductionists and small-minded scientists were resolved to the fact that ultimately all would be reduced to “the old physics.” The scientific revolution of Einstein was a step in the right direction, but here Vernadsky insists that there is more progress to be made. He makes a bold call for a new physics, taking into account, and fundamentally based upon, the striking anomalies of life and human life.

Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries." Here are three key examples or concepts from "Synergetics":

Tensegrity

Tensegrity, or tensional integrity, refers to structural systems that use a combination of tension and compression components. The simplest example of this is the "tensegrity triangle", where three struts are held in position not by touching one another but by tensioned wires. These systems are stable and flexible. Tensegrity structures are pervasive in natural systems, from the cellular level up to larger biological and even cosmological scales.

Vector Equilibrium (VE)

The Vector Equilibrium, often referred to by Fuller as the "VE", is a geometric form that he saw as the central form in his synergetic geometry. It’s essentially a cuboctahedron. Fuller noted that the VE is the only geometric form wherein all the vectors (lines from the center to the vertices) are of equal length and angular relationship. Because of this, it’s seen as a condition of absolute equilibrium, where the forces of push and pull are balanced.

Closest Packing of Spheres

Fuller was fascinated by how spheres could be packed together in the tightest possible configuration, a concept he often linked to how nature organizes systems. For example, when you stack oranges in a grocery store, they form a hexagonal pattern, and the spheres (oranges) are in closest-packed arrangement. Fuller related this principle to atomic structures and even cosmic organization.

To prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand, here comes The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare (CG5GW) by Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired) Michael T. Flynn and Sergeant, U.S. Army (Retired) Boone Cutler. General Flynn rose to the highest levels of the intelligence community and served as the National Security Advisor to the 45th POTUS. Sergeant Boone Cutler ran the ground game as a wartime Psychological Operations team sergeant in the United States Army. Together, these two combat veterans put their combined experience and expertise into an illuminating fifth-generation warfare information series called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare. Introduction to 5GW is the first session of the multipart series. The series, complete with easy-to-understand diagrams, is written for all of humanity in every freedom loving country.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian and Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist who is best known for his work on the biosphere and the noosphere concepts. His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Biosphere :

  • Vernadsky defined the biosphere as the thin layer of Earth where life exists, encompassing all living organisms and the parts of the Earth where they interact. This includes the depths of the oceans to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
  • He posited that life plays a critical role in transforming the Earth's environment. In this view, living organisms are not just passive inhabitants of the planet, but active agents of change. This idea contrasts with more traditional views that saw life as simply adapting to pre-existing environmental conditions.
  • One example of this transformative power is the oxygen-rich atmosphere, which was created by photosynthesizing organisms over billions of years.

It's worth noting that Vernadsky's ideas were formulated in a period when the world was experiencing rapid technological changes and were before the advent of concerns about global challenges like climate change. Today, his ideas can be seen in a new light, as we recognize the significant impact human activity has on the planet, from the changing climate to the alteration of biogeochemical cycles. Overall, Vernadsky's thesis about the biosphere and the noosphere offers a holistic perspective on the evolution of the Earth and humanity's role in that evolution. It emphasizes the profound interconnectedness between life, the environment, and human cognition and culture.

His ideas have profoundly influenced various scientific fields, from geology to biology and even philosophy. Here's the summary of his one of his concepts:

Noosphere :

  • The concept of the noosphere can be seen as the next evolutionary stage following the biosphere. While the biosphere represents the realm of life, the noosphere represents the realm of human thought.
  • Vernadsky believed that, just as life transformed the Earth through the biosphere, human thought and collective intelligence would transform the planet in the era of the noosphere. This transformation would be characterized by the dominance of cultural evolution over biological evolution.
  • In this paradigm, human knowledge, technology, and cultural developments would become the primary drivers of change on the planet, influencing its future direction.
  • The term "noosphere" is derived from the Greek word “nous” meaning "mind" or "intellect" and "sphaira" meaning "sphere." So, the noosphere can be thought of as the "sphere of human thought."

A close analysis of the architecture of the stupa―a Buddhist symbolic form that is found throughout South, Southeast, and East Asia. The author, who trained as an architect, examines both the physical and metaphysical levels of these buildings, which derive their meaning and significance from Buddhist and Brahmanist influences.

Building on his extensive research into the sacred symbols and creation myths of the Dogon of Africa and those of ancient Egypt, India, and Tibet, Laird Scranton investigates the myths, symbols, and traditions of prehistoric China, providing further evidence that the cosmology of all ancient cultures arose from a single now-lost source.

It is at the same time a history of language, a guide to foreign tongues, and a method for learning them. It shows, through basic vocabularies, family resemblances of languages―Teutonic, Romance, Greek―helpful tricks of translation, key combinations of roots and phonetic patterns. It presents by common-sense methods the most helpful approach to the mastery of many languages; it condenses vocabulary to a minimum of essential words; it simplifies grammar in an entirely new way; and it teaches a languages as it is actually used in everyday life.
But this book is more than a guide to foreign languages; it goes deep into the roots of all knowledge as it explores the history of speech. It lights up the dim pathways of prehistory and unfolds the story of the slow growth of human expression from the most primitive signs and sounds to the elaborate variations of the highest cultures. Without language no knowledge would be possible; here we see how language is at once the source and the reservoir of all we know.

Taking only the most elementary knowledge for granted, Lancelot Hogben leads readers of this famous book through the whole course from simple arithmetic to calculus. His illuminating explanation is addressed to the person who wants to understand the place of mathematics in modern civilization but who has been intimidated by its supposed difficulty. Mathematics is the language of size, shape, and order―a language Hogben shows one can both master and enjoy.

A complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. These timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras, at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. The Sutras are presented here in the purest form, with the original Sanskrit and with translation, transliteration, and commentary by Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the most respected and revered contemporary Yoga masters. Sri Swamiji offers practical advice based on his own experience for mastering the mind and achieving physical, mental and emotional harmony.

William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world - and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.

Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back 500 years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras - or "turnings" - that last about 20 years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.

First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis - the Fourth Turning - when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.

Excess Deaths & Why RFK Jr. Can Win The Democratic Presidential Race - Ed Dowd | Part 1 of 2 - 06-21-2023

All original edition. Nothing added, nothing removed. This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. To the general reader the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to 11th century, may seem infinitely remote today. Yet they have a close and unexpected bearing on our world, which emerges as Koestler recounts the fascinating history of the ancient Khazar Empire.

At about the time that Charlemagne was Emperor in the West. The Khazars' sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.Thereafter the Khazars found themselves in a precarious position between the two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire in Byzantium and the triumphant followers of Mohammed.As Koestler points out, the Khazars were the Third World of their day. They chose a surprising method of resisting both the Western pressure to become Christian and the Eastern to adopt Islam. Rejecting both, they converted to Judaism. Mr. Koestler speculates about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry.

Few people noticed the secret codewords used by our astronauts to describe the moon. Until now, few knew about the strange moving lights they reported.
George H. Leonard, former NASA scientist, fought through the official veil of secrecy and studied thousands of NASA photographs, spoke candidly with dozens of NASA officials, and listened to hours and hours of astronauts' tapes.
Here, Leonard presents the stunning and inescapable evidence discovered during his in-depth investigation:

  • Immense mechanical rigs, some over a mile long, working the lunar surface.
  • Strange geometric ground markings and symbols.
  • Lunar constructions several times higher than anything built on Earth.
  • Vehicles, tracks, towers, pipes, conduits, and conveyor belts running in and across moon craters.
Somebody else is indeed on the Moon, and engaged in activities on a massive scale. Our space agencies, and many of the world's top scientists, have known for years that there is intelligent life on the moon.

The article delves into the history of the Khazars, a polity in the Northern Caucasus that existed from the mid-seventh century until about 970 CE. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Khazars" is misleading as it was a multiethnic entity, and it's uncertain which specific group adopted Judaism. The Khazars first emerged in the seventh century, defeating the Bulgars, which led to the Bulgars' dispersion to various regions. The Khazar Empire was established through the expulsion of the Bulgars and was multiethnic in nature. The language spoken by the Khazars is debated, with some suggesting Turkic origins and others pointing to Slavic. The Khazars had several cities and fortresses, with significant archaeological findings. The Khazars had interactions with various empires, including wars with the Arabs and alliances with Byzantine emperors. By the mid-10th century, the Khazar capital of Itil was destroyed by the Russians. The article concludes that much of what is known about the Khazars is based on limited sources.

In The Science of the Dogon, Laird Scranton demonstrated that the cosmological structure described in the myths and drawings of the Dogon runs parallel to modern science--atomic theory, quantum theory, and string theory--their drawings often taking the same form as accurate scientific diagrams that relate to the formation of matter.

Sacred Symbols of the Dogon uses these parallels as the starting point for a new interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic language. By substituting Dogon cosmological drawings for equivalent glyph-shapes in Egyptian words, a new way of reading and interpreting the Egyptian hieroglyphs emerges. Scranton shows how each hieroglyph constitutes an entire concept, and that their meanings are scientific in nature.

The Dogon people of Mali, West Africa, are famous for their unique art and advanced cosmology. The Dogon’s creation story describes how the one true god, Amma, created all the matter of the universe. Interestingly, the myths that depict his creative efforts bear a striking resemblance to the modern scientific definitions of matter, beginning with the atom and continuing all the way to the vibrating threads of string theory. Furthermore, many of the Dogon words, symbols, and rituals used to describe the structure of matter are quite similar to those found in the myths of ancient Egypt and in the daily rituals of Judaism. For example, the modern scientific depiction of the informed universe as a black hole is identical to Amma’s Egg of the Dogon and the Egyptian Benben Stone.

The Science of the Dogon offers a case-by-case comparison of Dogon descriptions and drawings to corresponding scientific definitions and diagrams from authors like Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene, then extends this analysis to the counterparts of these symbols in both the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew religions. What is ultimately revealed is the scientific basis for the language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, which was deliberately encoded to prevent the knowledge of these concepts from falling into the hands of all but the highest members of the Egyptian priesthood.

Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West,initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.

With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.

One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.

The Oera Linda Book is a 19th-century translation by Dr. Ottema and WIlliam R. Sandbach of an old manuscript written in the Old Frisian language that records historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity, compiled between 2194 BC and AD 803.

  • The Oera Linda book challenges traditional views of pre-Christian societies.
  • Christianization is likened to a "great reset" that erased previous civilizations.
  • The Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people.
  • The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting patterns in history.
  • The importance of identity and understanding one's roots is highlighted.
  • The Oera Linda book offers wisdom and insights into several European languages.

The Oera Linda book offers a fresh perspective on our history, challenging the notion that pre-Christian societies were uncivilized. It suggests that the Christianization of societies was a form of "great reset," erasing and demonizing what existed before. The Oera Linda writings hint at an advanced civilization with its own laws, writing, and societal structures. Jan Ott's translation from the Fryan language provides insights into the beliefs and values of the Fryan people. The text also touches upon the guilt many feel today, even if they aren't religious, about issues like climate change and historical slavery. It criticizes the way science is sometimes treated like a religion, with scientists acting as its preachers. The cyclical nature of time is emphasized, suggesting that understanding history requires recognizing patterns and cycles. Christianity is portrayed as one of the most significant resets in history, with sects fighting and erasing each other's scriptures. The importance of identity is highlighted, with a focus on the Fryans, a tribe that faced challenges from another tribe from Finland. This other tribe had a different moral compass, leading to conflicts and eventual assimilation. The text suggests that the true history of the Fryans and their values might have been distorted by subsequent Christian narratives. The Oera Linda book is seen as a source of wisdom, shedding light on the origins of several European languages and offering insights into values like freedom, truth, and justice.

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.

This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.

Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied, and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela―where both countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state―to Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China; Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the Arab Spring.

This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes, withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence, and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to authoritarian regimes.

Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.

The argument that the 16th Amendment (which concerns the federal income tax) was not properly ratified and thus is invalid has been a topic of debate among some tax protesters and scholars. One of the individuals associated with this theory is Bill Benson, who asserted that the 16th Amendment was fraudulently ratified. Here's a brief overview of the argument: 1. Research and Documentation: Bill Benson, along with another individual named M.J. "Red" Beckman, wrote a two-volume work called "The Law That Never Was" in the 1980s. This work was a product of Benson's extensive travels to various state archives to examine the original ratification documents related to the 16th Amendment. 2. Claims of Irregularities: In his work, Benson presented evidence that claimed many of the states either did not ratify the 16th Amendment properly or made mistakes in their resolutions. Some of these alleged irregularities included misspellings, incorrect wording, and other deviations from the proposed amendment. 3. Philander Knox's Role: In 1913, Philander Knox, who was the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the states. Benson's contention is that Knox was aware of the various discrepancies and irregularities in the ratification process but chose to fraudulently declare the amendment ratified anyway. 4. Legal Challenges and Court Rulings: Over the years, some tax protesters have used Benson's findings to challenge the legality of the income tax. However, these challenges have been consistently rejected by the courts. In fact, several courts have addressed Benson's research and arguments directly and found them to be without legal merit. The courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of the 16th Amendment. 5. Counterarguments: Critics of Benson's theory argue that even if there were minor discrepancies in the wording or format of the ratification documents, they do not invalidate the overarching intent of the states to ratify the amendment. Additionally, they assert that there's no substantive evidence that Knox acted fraudulently. It's worth noting that despite the popularity of this theory among certain groups, the legal consensus in the U.S. is that the 16th Amendment was validly ratified and is a legitimate part of the U.S. Constitution. Those who refuse to pay income taxes based on this theory have faced legal penalties.

The article delves into the evolution of the concept of the ether in physics. Historically, the ether was postulated to explain the propagation of light, with figures like Newton and Huygens suggesting its existence. By the late 19th century, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory linked light's propagation to the ether, a theory experimentally validated by Hertz in 1888. Lorentz expanded on this, focusing on wave transmission in moving media. The article contrasts the English approach, which sought tangible models, with the phenomenological view, which aimed for a descriptive approach without specific hypotheses. The piece also touches on various mechanical theories and models proposed over the years, emphasizing the challenges in defining the ether's properties and its evolving nature in scientific discourse.
