“Maybe I'm wrong," Mom said. "Maybe the world really is coming to an end." "Should I try Fox News?" I asked. Mom shuddered. "We're not that desperate," she said.” - Susan Beth Pfeffer, Life As We Knew It, Goodreads

  • Fascinating conversation via the Space Studies Institute. Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill and Dr. Isaac Asimov discuss Space colonies and how it is more practical, for multiple reasons, to house people on space vessels rather than a planetary surface - such as the moon. Soundcloud.

    Asimov used the term “planetary chauvinism” to refer to the systematic bias of science fiction toward planetary exploration. O'Neill proposed an alternative vision in which human beings would not seek to colonize planets, but instead build their own enclosed cylindrical space habitats. Source.

    "We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely. Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is "somewhere else entirely." - Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill

    Long Read on this project. Source. Somewhere Else Entirely by Mike Combs.

    For Space enthusiasts who desire further exploration. "Space Settlement is a unique concept for colonization beyond the Earth." Deep dive recommended. Space Settlement.

  • "Here’s how UFO sightings jumped from the realm of science fiction to the halls of Congress." - NBC.

  • Archived 2008 Interview with The Daily Grail includes discussion about UFOs and ETs.
    Michio Kaku "regarding Active SETI (beaming messages out to space, rather than listening).
    “I think it’s an awful idea to advertise our existence in space, without understanding the
    motives and intentions of possible alien civilizations,” he said, comparing us to the inhabitants
    of the New World encountering “Cortez and his band of cut-throats”. Instead of David vs. Goliath, Professor Kaku suggests it would be more akin to “a fruit fly versus Goliath”. Related site post.

  • Present day Michio Kaku. There are various sources for this clip but I like the way TMZ sums it up. "But, here's the comforting or disappointing part ... depending on your point of view. Kaku says if the Navy pilot's UFO sighting was indeed an alien spacecraft, it means earthlings are totally useless to them." (Still a fruit fly.)

  • UFO Research could give our science a tremendous boost. MIT Researcher Rizwan Virk "argues that the “profound lack of curiosity” in UFOs resulted in a mess of taboos and biases amongst the ranks of academia." The Byte.

  • Echoing that view - regarding the current vibe that we are being threatened by UFOs and need
    to muster our best offense/defense, Contact/UFO Experiencer John Foster offered his perspective, link on the recent UFO buzz: "Some people believe UFOs do not belong in our restricted air space. However, my UFO experiences indicate that at least those entities who I encountered had a hand in our creation…the creation of humankind."

    If you have not read his content - he provides and in-depth view of his lifetime of encounters - many in the presence of witnesses who could see them while others were totally oblivious. What we are dealing with - if his ETs are in charge is quite capable of manipulating our reality and keeping us in the dark until such a date they determine otherwise.

  • Another Echo via Paths to Contact - True Stories from the Contact Underground. Amazon.

    Note the date on their website: 12.12.12. True Stories from the Contact Underground, is a collection of true stories by and about normal people who have had contact with extraterrestrials and how that contact has affected their lives. We hope that by sharing our stories:

    1. Awareness of the non-threatening nature of the extraterrestrial presence will increase.
    2. More people will become motivated to seek contact and the certain knowledge that we are
    not alone.
    3. The culture of ridicule surrounding all things ET will diminish so that others who have had contact experiences will feel free to talk.
    Website.

    I'll add this Paths to Contact interview to the Wendy's Coffeehouse archives once it is edited to fit the format. For now, it lives in the archives of Conscious Living on Empower Radio - yep, 2012. Link. I honestly don't remember it being that long ago. But the stories are the key. Regarding the view that ETs/UFOs a Threat and we should somehow ramp up to combat them as such? We are not on the same playing field level or even in the same dimension.

  • Why you have dreams. New study. Interesting perspective. "It is the very strangeness of dreams in their divergence from waking experience that gives them their biological function,” he said. “Life is boring sometimes. Dreams are there to keep you from becoming too fitted to the model of the world." Nothing about this explains the precog element. The Debrief.

  • Fantastic images of the Kogi from Julian Lennon. "Lennon hopes that this set of pictures gives people 'a sense that these [tribal] worlds still exist and that the whole world is not, as yet, just one big commercial machine'. Pictured, Kogi elders meet to discuss various topics." Daily Mail

From ET Contactees in 2012 to 2021 where my recent interview in Wendy's Coffeehouse archives is about Walk-ins. Shelia Seppi is the author of Walk-ins: The Cosmology of the Soul. Amazon.

Shelia offers her story and that of 15 other walk-ins. Each has a unique experience. Circumstances
vary but there are some aspects that present a common theme. Note the date she highlights on her website: December 2012. And that of the Paths to Contact? Synchronicity.

Completely different perspective than that of Ruth Montgomery and her book on Walk-ins,
Strangers Among Us, in the early 1980s. This is an effort by Walk-ins to support and encourage others who might find themselves in similar unfamiliar circumstances and need confirmation they are not alone. Help is available. Link.

Big noise echoing across various news and media channels: UFOs are REAL. Welcome one and all - they are real and have been all along. Theirs and more recently, to complicate the issue, ours. All are real. While this is just now gaining official credence in Western society, many Indigenous Peoples/Cultures have long included reference to their presence (among others).

The real story is Agenda. About face on denial and deliberate mainstreaming of the concept of UFO, UAP, ET, Alien, Unknown presence suggests a motive that may or may not be obvious on first glance. 

Watch for it.

In the meantime, yeah! The giggles and nervous throat clearings might stop at the mere mention of UFO. Too early?

Need to report a sighting? MUFON.

SciXFriday - Eclectic Links and a Teaser Chapter from Russell Brinegar's 'Overlords of the Singularity' 1/3

“Mathematical truth is not determined arbitrarily by the rules of some 'man-made' formal system, but has an absolute nature, and lies beyond any such system of specifiable rules.” - Roger Penrose, Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness 


Quantum Streaming Math and Theories -

Issue 47. Nautilus. - Quantum Consciousness Theorist, "Penrose believes we must go beyond Neuroscience and into the mysterious world of Quantum Mechanics to explain our rich mental life." View his presentation, The Quantum Nature of Consciousness/YouTube. Of Roger Penrose, Physicist Lee Smolin/Time Reborn says, he's "one of the very few people I've met in my life who, without reservation, I call a genius." Smolin in Scientific American - Physics Must Evolve. 

Eclectic and otherwise, Interesting Links -

Russell Brinegar spoke with me about his Near Death Experience, one in which he found himself in contact with a transcended version of himself. A deep transformation followed and the book Overlords of the Singularity is part of that life redirect.

Interview with Russell Brinegar on Wendy's Coffeehouse and we continue our talk in a 2nd interview on Conscious Living on Empower Radio.

As the introduction states, "Following a near-death experience that prompted a personal awakening to the underlying, interdimensional nature of reality, the author shares insights into the realm of the paranormal."

Russell has given me permission to share some of that book here on the blog. Too long to post all at once, I'll post in segments. The book is available on Amazon.

[Chapter 4]

UFOs and the Technological Singularity
Russell Brinegar, 'Overlords of the Singularity: The Manipulation of Humankind by Hidden UFO Intelligences and the Quest for Transcendence'-  CreateSpace


“I believe there is a machinery of mass manipulation behind the UFO phenomenon.” – Dr. Jacques Vallee

In recent years, the science of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics have merged with the science of consciousness itself. Concepts such as quantum entanglement have changed the way we look at the universe and our place in it. *Scientific Breakthrough, reported 7/2017, The Independent

Quantum entanglement poses that, prior to the moment of the Big Bang, all particles that are now spread out across the Cosmos were once unified as a cohesive whole, and as such all subatomic particles in the universe remain connected to one another on a fundamental level, regardless of the distance they have grown apart by the expansion of the Universe.

Add to that the observer effect, in which the act of observation itself is the factor that converts a pure energy wave into a particle of matter, introducing an element of subjectivity into our concept of the universe that we once thought of as immutable, objective reality. 

The presumed solidity of the universe that we once took for granted has now melted into a chaos of
Follow on Facebook.
pure energy and quantum potentiality, the solidity revealing itself scientifically as a mere illusion.  One of the physicists on the forefront of this fascinating and complex field is theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. With his many books, Kaku has done an excellent job translating the mechanics and implications of modern theoretical physics into language that anyone of reasonable intelligence can understand, regardless of scientific background.

One such book is Parallel Worlds. In this work, Kaku speaks of the mathematician, John von Neumann, who was the first person to use the term, Singularity. 

Popularized by science fiction writer Vernor Vinge, the Singularity now commonly refers to an approaching state of humankind, when, following a long history of slow, painstaking progress, technological advancements accelerate exponentially into the realm of advanced, self-aware, artificial intelligence that vastly exceeds the computing capability and storage capacity of the human mind and takes us into completely unknown territory. *Astronomers report evidence of the Multiverse. Reported 5/2017, The Guardian

Suddenly, and soon, we will be confronted by machines of our own creation that are possibly billions of times smarter than we are. As far as we know, an event such as the Singularity has never happened in all of human history, and the implications of this inevitable event that is soon upon us are completely unknown. 
 
The Singularity is currently a hot subject among futurists, physicists, and AI (artificial intelligence) experts, generating much debate and theorizing. Some individuals who take the time to examine the subject and discover the quagmire of complicated issues that self-aware AI inevitably thrusts upon us become overwhelmed, frightened, or even repulsed. Some even decide to reject technology altogether to save humankind before we create a monster that destroys us. 

Others who share a more optimistic outlook, like Michio Kaku and futurist Ray Kurzweil, have decided that, despite the daunting possibilities of disaster for the human race, embracing the coming Singularity and trying to make it work for us is the correct route to take. The concept of the Singularity has spawned an entire subculture with quasi-religious overtones, and produced individuals who call themselves Singularitarians.

These technical optimists express idealistic ambitions of merging human consciousness with the machines we are about to create. The Singularity is expected to produce a hybrid version of humanity, part biological, and part machine, with a very real possibility for the achievement of human immortality, having transcended the biological format we have been using thus far, and transferring our consciousness into a silicon substrate with indefinitely expanded lifespans.

This is the gist of the Transhumanist movement. These new visionaries imagine electronically-augmented humans in our near future who possess expanded thought and perceptual abilities, possibly even superhuman powers, taking us into a post-human, post-biological world. The optimists view the coming Singularity as the next stage in human evolution, and look forward to a form of transcendence from our current biological limitations. 

In its most extreme version, the Singularity might even allow humanity to finally escape the confines of three-dimensional reality altogether, and possibly merge with other entities that may exist throughout the universe who have also achieved a post-physical form of cosmic transcendence. 

In Kaku’s, The Future of the Mind, and Ray Kurzweil’s, The Singularity is Near, the possibilities of downloading the memories and personalities of human beings into machines to create conscious, artificial intelligences that were once completely human but now exist as computer-enhanced or augmented cyborgs are explored. 

Such a person, who was once completely biological, is now transformed into an immortal synthetic human being with an indefinite lifespan. The Holy Grail of human technological ambition, immortality, is projected to exit the realm of science fiction and enter the realm of reality with the approaching Singularity, which futurists like Kurzweil predict will occur sometime around the year 2045. *Immortality Project Underway. Reported 3/2017, The Guardian

The problem is, because the coming Singularity will propel us into completely unknown territory, there is really no way to predict the outcome. Some fear that, once machines are suddenly billions of times smarter than humans and self-aware, they might just decide to destroy humanity like a mere nuisance and take over the planet. 

James Barrat, author of Our Final Invention:Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era, states (chapter 1 audible): If the ASI [artificial superintelligence] doesn’t care about us, and there’s little reason to think that it should, it will experience no compunction about treating us unethically, even taking our lives after promising to help us.
