Just to round things out....

I am going into a DXM trip, and am watching 2010, for the first time. F is setting up the Axis & Allies Europe board. I feel very philosophic, very imminent. I know that doesn't make sense, and I know that when I read this sober it will not make sense to myself. But it is my truth now.

Rikhei was right. Or Delenn was right. We are all starstuff, set about the universe, trying to figure itself out. The accounts of people... I'm thinking of Little Women. The beloved sister dies--Beth. I think in the book, Jo sees Beth's spirit escape its fleshly bonds and enter into the ambient atmosphere. At the same time, I thought that meant a "soul" exists. Now I see it as further anecdotal evidence that we are light, we are energy, and energy is forever in motion. Beth died, and "gave up the ghost". Her death affects her surroundings as any entropic effect would affect the universe. ["Giving up the ghost" may be nothing more than free electrons escaping our bodies once our gravitational field, produced by our innate electricity, ceases to exert any pull. 7/28/01]

I think I just became a science fiction buff.
Children of the new sun
I need to read 2001, & 2010. Children of the New Sun. What a great great title, topic, name, situation, call to arms, name of a movement, spirituality, force.

That movie made too much sense, I think. It's 10:10, and the movie ended about 10 minutes ago. Light is life. Energy is life. No matter the base. Yes, we're carbon-based. HAL was silicon-based. But energy is energy. Energy colliding led to death (2001). Energy combining (synergy) equals life (end of 2010).

If this view is accepted, then it follows that psychometry, pre- and post-cognition, and many other forms of ESP are valid, or at least can be. Why can't we sense the thoughts of others? Thoughts are merely waves of energy. Why would the skull be so impermeable as to prevent energy fluctuation, caused by nearby consciousness activity, to escape?

Continuing the above: bone is tough, but it is also porous.

If memories are stored in neurons, there is no standing aside from the stream of events, for neurons flow along in the same stream as events outside the skull. After all, your neurons are part of my external world, and mine of yours!
