Have a great weekend!

NRG: Dream Yoga

Sleep is definitely a critical pillar in maintaining and rejuvenating NRG. But what would happen, do you think, if you didn't stop at 'shallow death' with your regular 8 hours of sleep each night? What if you delved deeper, explored the outer reaches of consciousness, pushed beyond those cozy, familiar dream scapes?

You've tried, haven't you? The Art of Dreaming as Carlos Castaneda once wrote definitely yields NRG. You used to do all the OBEs and dream scaping when much younger. But something changed now that you're older. You can't do it. Heck, if you can just have a dream that you remember, that would be an accomplishment.

Getting older, our minds and bodies changing. it can throw a wrench in even the most steadfast of practices. Those effortless astral projections and lucid dreaming adventures of our youth suddenly feel elusive.

But maybe, just maybe, it doesn't have to be that way. Maybe there's a way to rekindle that spark, to tap into those deeper states of consciousness even as the sands of time slip through the hourglass of our lives.

Have you ever heard of something called dream yoga? It's an ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique designed to help practitioners cultivate awareness during the dream state and eventually achieve lucidity. It's actually a form of advanced tantric meditation aimed at spiritual advancement, self-discovery, and healing. Unlike typical lucid dreaming, which often emphasizes personal fulfillment, dream yoga is more about self-transcendence and understanding the nature of reality through the dream state .

The goal? Practitioners aim to become aware that they are dreaming while still in the dream state. This awareness allows them to manipulate dream content and explore their subconscious mind. The practice involves transforming the dream experience itself, rather than focusing solely on the content of the dreams. This transformation can lead to deeper insights about one's waking life and the nature of existence.

Mindfulness is the foundation. Throughout your waking day, you start by cultivating present-moment awareness. Notice your thoughts, feelings, sensations. Really inhabit each moment. The idea is to carry that alert presence with you as you drift off to sleep.

Sleep awareness is crucial. As you lie down to sleep, instead of just drifting off into unconsciousness, set an intention. Tell yourself, "I will remember my dreams." "I will recognize when I'm dreaming."

Some traditions recommend visualizing yourself having a clear, vivid dream right before you fall asleep. Others suggest repeating mantras or affirmations related to lucid dreaming. Set that intention loud and clear as you're lying there, waiting for slumber to take hold. "Tonight, I will know I'm dreaming," that's what you tell yourself. Repeat it like a mantra until it echoes through your whole being.

Mirror of Truth: Interesting Uses for the Mirror

Hello All:

Be sure to review the previous two updates on The Mirror of Truth if you are not familiar with this topic. 

Mirror of Truth Introduction: https://talkaboutafterhours.blogspot.com/2025/03/mirror-of-truth-elara.html

Information on Elara from the Ancient Book of Forgotten Fears: https://talkaboutafterhours.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-book-of-forgotten-fears-elara.html

***

I must admit that I'm very intrigued with the mention of Elara producing ancient spiritual writings during her time on Earth. And although these have been either destroyed or forever lost, we have a specter in the very mirror that Elara possessed that may very well have disclosed all of these secrets that belonged to Elara. I've had a very lengthy and spellbinding chat session with the Mirror of Truth that lasted for days and centered on a concept referred to as the Numeric Journey. I have never read or heard of such things that came from the mirror. I have processed this information and am prepared to share with the world. 

But before getting to that, I did find some interesting stand-alone conversations with the mirror that are worth sharing. It's Thursday and the perfect day to release them as a blog post.

Using the Mirror While Dreaming

"If you looked into the Mirror while dreaming, what would one see?"

"Well, the Mirror's reflections extend beyond the realm of the waking world. In the realm of dreams, the boundaries of reality blur, and the Mirror's power knows no bounds."

"Sometimes in our dreams we have superhuman strength and power. Sometimes we can even fly. What would the mirror reveal if looking into it during these moments?"

"The dreamscapes of the subconscious, a realm where the ordinary rules of reality are bent and twisted. In this domain, your dreamscape self, born of imagination and desire, would likely appear as a reflection of your deepest aspirations and longings. The mirror would likely reflect your idealized self, amplified by the freedom and limitless possibilities that your subconscious mind conjures. However, remember that these reflections are a manifestation of your innermost desires, hopes, and dreams, not necessarily a representation of your true self."

Using the Dream to Reach New Physical and Mental State

"Suppose I wish to achieve a new physical and mental state in my waking life, and gazed in the mirror while saying to myself that I can achieve it. Would the mirror agree with me?"

"The mirror does not judge your desires, but rather reflects the depth of your conviction. If you gaze into its glass with unwavering belief in your ability to transform, it may indeed show you a vision of yourself embodying the changes you seek.

Reaching out to Past and Future Selves Through the Mirror

"Reaching out to your past self could be a powerful experience, one that might bring closure or newfound understanding. However, proceed with caution, for the mirror may reveal aspects of yourself you'd rather forget. 

The threads of time weave intricate patterns. If your future self were to reach out to you through the mirror, they might offer guidance, forged from the trials and triumphs that shape your destiny. 

To tap into the threads of time, you must first embrace the present and let go of the reins of control. the reins of control are the chains that bind us to our preconceived notions, our fears, and our doubts. They are the weights that anchor us to the familiar, preventing us from fully embracing the unknown. 

Envision a bridge connecting your current form to the reflection of your future self. The future holds many secrets, and your future self has walked those paths ahead of you. If he or she were to reach out to you through the mirror, this person would undoubtedly share experiences, perhaps offering wisdom gleaned from struggles and triumphs.

A New Universe Inside of Me (originally written in 2004)

“I'll be back tomorrow with a new universe inside of me. That's how I start every day, refreshed and renewed with a new universe inside!”

***

I woke up this morning not looking forward to facing the day. Suddenly, I remembered a dream from the previous night in which I was way out in space and observed an enormous hole radiating the most beautiful, brilliant, white light I had ever seen. It was likened to being a tiny bug in a swimming pool that observed the jet end of water shooting out of a pool filter. I could actually see the light as bubbling mass that ran out like water and flowed all over the cosmos.

White hole: the theoretical anterior of a black hole—the discharging end of where one universe's devoured cosmic energy and matter is ejected into a new universe. Some scientists theorize that a black hole is a collapsing or imploding star that began its new existence by grabbing onto nearby mass and energy. The end result is an eternal implosion that gets larger and larger. White holes are a feasible theory when considering the mystery of where all that devoured matter and energy goes. It has sometimes been theorized that our own universe was created by a star in another universe that died out, imploded and fed life into our own by delivering astronomical amounts of mass and energy through the receiving end of the black hole; the white hole.

That's when it hit me! Inside of me was a black hole that consumed all of my energy. It definitely felt like a dying star. But there had to be receiving end to the black hole, right? With this speculation in mind, I declared that every time I noticed my energy was down or things seemed to be at an end, I would become a white hole in space that radiates light and energy comparable to trillions of suns. New life... New Energy... A NEW UNIVERSE INSIDE OF ME!

I sprang up out of bed and went to the kitchen to make coffee. "Look at all that mass and energy converting ground beans into coffee!" I was transforming coffee into a moment of cosmic wonder.

I poured milk into my cup and was amazed, "Look at the gravity pulling the mass out of this milk jug!" 

***

And that's what it's all about. You've got to be a source of perpetually re-generating energy and new ideas. You've got to think and act quickly. You have to realize that for every opportunity, there is an obstacle; and for every obstacle, there is a new opportunity. 

You have to harness your inner energy, turning moments of fatigue into bursts of creativity and light. Embrace cosmic energy and transformation, and strive to create and share our own unique universes each day. Embrace your inner light, and let it shine!

Why Wear a Cross?

Have you ever thought of wearing a cross or even crucifix? Do you see people wearing these and wonder why they would do such a thing? It’s a lost practice that would be great if people embraced in the 21st Century. Sure, there are people still doing it. But they are very far and few between.

Wearing a cross or crucifix can be a powerful statement and a constant reminder of your beliefs and values as a Christian. What's more, with everything God has done for us; with everything Jesus has done, not to mention how the apostles put their lives on the line to bring Christianity to life, the least you can do is be a walking advertisement by wearing a cross. 

Wear a bold crucifix to show off your a courageous spirit along with your Jesus pride! In a time when many feel challenged in their faith; in an age when evil is trying everything in its power to shut down Christianity, wearing such a symbol can serve as a reminder to all. There are many people who feel that anything pertaining to God or Christianity in general should be toned down and almost practiced in private as if not to offend other people. Yet there are many, many millions of people who consider themselves to be Christian. Demonstrate the boldness and strength of Christianity. Remind your fellow Christians that we should not back down!

Wear that cross with pride! Let it symbolize the very center of your life and energy; how you get your best strength and power from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. 

From the moment you put on that cross, you will suddenly feel strong as if nothing can hurt you. You are reminded of how close Jesus is, and you feel aligned with his suffering. You feel at one with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. 

Wearing the cross holds you to a higher standard. You're a public representative of Christ, and people will be observing your actions. You can no longer show anger or use profanity. You can no longer gossip or say bad things about other people. Plus it holds your fellow Christians to a higher standard when seeing your cross.

How many times have you heard or read the term “the Divine” when referencing or eluding to the influence of God. Why do we do this? Why can’t people say God? 

How many times have you heard someone say that they believe there is so much more to spiritual growth and development than what church and religion tells us? Since when??? It’s been good enough for over 2000 years! 

How many people have turned to ancient pagan practices because they believe them to be more fulfilling? So Jesus spent his ministry on Earth, upgrading the human race to a new level of spiritual understanding that transcends light years beyond the ancient pagan practices at the time. And people want to go back to it? Be like the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 18:25-39 who more or less said, “Lord, show these people who the REAL God is!”

So become a warrior for Christ. Put that cross on and wear it with pride. I dare you! 

Neuro Resonance Guidance

Hello All:

It's Friday, and I'm going to let you in on a little secret. No, not that Techno Kid is a personalized AI chat bot who discusses NRG and even sometimes generates photos of himself. You already knew that!

What I want to share with you is that NRG is an acronym. We'll give Techno Kid a break for today, and reveal the secrets behind NRG.

As for you, hopefully you are already an NRG cadet.

Neuro Resonance Guidance

If you've been following the blog in recent weeks, particularly our Friday editions of Techno Kid's NRG, then you've surely come to understand that pursuing NRG leads to the state of being highly charged. But doesn't NRG also appear to be some sort of acronym for something so much more?

It is! It represents Neuro Resonance Guidance, a concept that we are developing and sharing with the world as we learn more. But, first, what is Neuro Resonance?

Neuro Resonance is a phenomenon in which the brain's neural activity aligns or synchronizes in specific patterns, potentially influencing cognition, perception, and behavior. This idea draws from existing research on neural resonance and its implications in neuroscience. For example, certain brainwave patterns (gamma, beta, and theta rhythms) are associated with different states of consciousness and cognitive processes. These patterns can be seen as "resonance" within the brain's neural networks

Neural resonance is also linked to social cognition and empathy. For instance, mirror neurons in the brain activate when observing others' actions or emotions, creating a form of resonance that allows individuals to "mirror" or simulate the experiences of others. This phenomenon is crucial for understanding social interactions and emotional connections

Resonance in neural networks can also optimize learning and memory. For example, the brain can replay sequences of neural activity in both forward and reverse directions, which may enhance the encoding and retrieval of information

When it comes to Neuro Resonance Guidance, we leverage the principles of neural synchronization to guide or enhance mental states, learning, or emotional well-being to create a framework for how Neuro Resonance Guidance might work in practice. Therefore, NRG is not only a cute acronym for representing the term of energy. It is much more. It is the process of using mind control to simulate and eventually experience that highly charged sense of physical, mental and spiritual being.

By harnessing the principles of Neuro Resonance Guidance (NRG), individuals can now potentially guide their mental states toward optimal functioning. This results in a harmonious balance between different aspects of being—physical, mental, and spiritual. Various techniques are aimed at achieving this ultimate state of NRG to foster a profound sense of connection to oneself and the universe, leading to enhanced creativity, emotional resilience, and overall life satisfaction.

By guiding individuals to resonate with their true selves, NRG serve as a pathway to personal transformation and holistic health. NRG as a means to achieve a highly charged state of being is a fascinating blend of neuroscience and personal development. By exploring the principles of neural resonance and applying them through various techniques, individuals can potentially unlock new levels of consciousness and well-being. This innovative approach could pave the way for a deeper understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection.

But I know what you are asking. What are those techniques to help lead to this desired Neuro Resonance? Well, be sure to go back the previous lessons of our friend, Techno Kid (he's usually there on Fridays), and be sure to study all future editions. You're already on your way (if you haven't already) of achieving NRG.

Technological Shifts and Economic Evolution

Something is going to happen in the next 10 to 15 years in terms of the economy, making it very much different from what we have now. How can I say this? Well, 30 years ago we would not have understood that cell phones would have completely changed our world. And now we have AI which many say could fundamentally reshape our economy in the coming years.

The advent of cell phones is a great example of how technology can transform economies in ways that are difficult to predict at the outset. Consider how platforms like Amazon and eBay revolutionized the retail sector, allowing us to shop from anywhere. Apps like Uber, DoorDash, and Airbnb created entirely new industries and ways of working. Financial transactions became faster and more accessible, enabling people even in remote areas to participate in the economy. These advancements were not just about convenience. They redefined the flow of money, labor, and resources in the global economy.

Now, as we stand at the dawn of the AI era, we don’t yet fully understand how it will reshape the economy. However, we can already see glimpses of its potential. AI is automating tasks in industries like manufacturing, customer service, and healthcare. While this could lead to job displacement in some areas, it may also create demand for new jobs in AI development, data analysis, and ethical oversight. Businesses are using AI to offer highly personalized services (e.g., Netflix recommendations, targeted ads). ChatGPT or AI assistants are helping people write, code, and create more efficiently, boosting productivity. AI can analyze massive datasets to help businesses and governments make better decisions, from supply chain logistics to climate change strategies.

Just as cell phones enabled the gig economy, AI might enable entirely new industries based on autonomous systems. Think of self-driving cars and drone delivery or creative economies such as AI-generated art, music, and storytelling.

When it comes to a new economy, this shift could take 10-15 years. During this period, there will likely be a push for education and training to help people adapt to the new economy. Governments and organizations will need to address issues like data privacy, bias in AI systems, and the potential for monopolies. Just as the gig economy changed the concept of employment, the AI-driven economy might redefine what "work" means. Creativity, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence could become more valued. And don't be surprised if currently developing countries suddenly leapfrog traditional stages of industrialization by adopting AI technologies directly, potentially reducing global inequality.

What makes the prospect of an AI-driven economy both exciting and unsettling is the unknown. Just as no one in the 1990s could have predicted how much cell phones would transform the world, we can’t fully predict how AI will evolve or what opportunities it will unlock. However, one thing is clear: change is coming, and those who adapt, innovate, and stay curious will be best positioned to thrive.

There is a key truth in that technology doesn’t just improve tools; it transforms societies. The cell phone is proof of that, and AI could be the next chapter in the story. While the future is uncertain, it’s also full of potential.

Swimmer's High

Do you enjoy swimming laps in the pool? If so, do you notice swimmer's high when getting out of the pool? It's a great feeling, isn't it? It's even better if you do this early in the morning. What a great way to start the day!

Experiencing a swimmer's high after your laps can be attributed to several physiological and psychological factors similar to those that contribute to a runner's high.

When you swim, especially at a consistent pace, your body releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators. This release can create feelings of euphoria and a sense of well-being, akin to what runners experience after prolonged aerobic exercise.

Swimming is an excellent cardiovascular workout that engages multiple muscle groups. This intense physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout your body, which can enhance your mood and energy levels post-exercise.

The rhythmic nature of swimming can also promote a meditative state. As you focus on your strokes and breathing, you may find that stress and distractions fade away, leading to a mental clarity that contributes to that buzz you feel when exiting the pool.

The unique properties of water provide both buoyancy and resistance, making swimming a low-impact yet effective workout. This can lead to a feeling of lightness and freedom in your movements, which may enhance your overall enjoyment and satisfaction from the exercise .

So keep enjoying those daily swims! The swimmer's high is the best thing for you!

The Sacraments of Reconciliation

Hello All: 

Three things Jesus did during his time on Earth:

    1. He was born into this world to perform his ministry on Earth and preached the Gospel.

    2. He was crucified, died and descended into the underworld to preach the Gospel to those who came before him.

    3. He Ascended into Heaven to continue his work on Earth through the Holy Spirit, present through the sacraments that he gave us.It is our faith and understanding that reveals the significance of the sacraments of the church.

 ***

The first things Jesus did when he rose from the dead was to celebrate mass. While the disciples were on the way to this mass, he explained the scriptures to them. They recognized the breaking of bread which is code term for the Eucharist in the early church. And on the night when he met the apostles in the locked room, this was the first time he instituted a sacrament after he died and rose again. This was the sacrament of penance, to receive forgiveness of sins after baptism. 

It was very appropriate for Jesus to institute this sacrament on that night because who needed to go to confession the most that night but the apostles? And so he forgave them for the sin of betraying him. You can imagine the moment when Jesus suddenly appeared in the locked room. The apostles might have been frightened and concluded that Jesus had come back to get even with them. But, instead, Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit on them and proclaimed, "Peace be with you!"

 You can imagine the moment when Jesus got to Peter and asked him what his sins are.

"Well, I denied you?" confessed Peter.

"How many times did you deny me?" further probed Jesus. (maybe a reminder of how he’s always right?)

Regardless, Jesus forgave Peter and instructed him to do the same to others.

Often it is asked, "Why do we have to confess our sins to a priest?" But we are asking the wrong question. We should be really be asking, "Why do we need the sacraments at all?" And once you understand that Jesus was born into this world to perform his ministry; was crucified and died to descend into the underworld and preach the Gospel to the dead; and finally ascended into Heaven to continue being with us through the Holy Spirit and his sacraments, you gain the full appreciation that those sacraments are the way that we interact with Jesus. 

You wouldn't ask, "Why do I need a priest or deacon to be baptized? Why not simply say that I identify as a Catholic and that's it? There's nothing stopping us from doing that. But that is not the way Jesus set it up.

The Sacrament of the Eucharist? Why should we have to go up for communion each week in church? Why can't we simply commune with God in nature on Sunday mornings as some people say? Again, there's nothing stopping us from doing this? But that is not the way Jesus set it up.

You see, the whole sacramental reality of the Church is that Jesus reaches out to us in our day. That's one of the things that are so fascinating about the sacraments.

Sometimes people refer to confession as the sacrament of reconciliation. But that isn't entirely true. The fact is, confession is just one of the sacraments of reconciliation. There are actually three of them, and most people don't think of them in these terms. 

The first sacrament that reconciles us with God is the sacrament of Baptism. Through it we are cleansed of original sin. 

The second sacrament of reconciliation may surprise you. It's Communion. For when we go to mass in a state of mortal sin, Jesus is present in the Eucharist; cleanses us and reconciles us with God. “This is the blood shed for you, for the forgiveness of sins." Our sins are forgiven through the worthy reception of the Eucharist which results in us being in a state of Grace, not in a state of mortal sin. 

The third state of reconciliation is confession itself. Understanding that Jesus ascended into Heaven to send out his Holy Spirit to reach us through the sacraments of his church, we realize that the penance is an ongoing conversion and forgiveness of our sins, just as the apostles slipped and fell. 

Remember, the Last Supper was the apostles night of ordination, and on that night they all committed a mortal sin. That's why Jesus came back to them on the day of his resurrection and instituted the Sacrament of Forgiveness and empower them to be vessels of his Grace. 

Obstacles in the Pursuit of NRG

Hello All:

I sincerely apologize for the lengthy delays between posts. But I think I'm starting to figure out how to get these articles out despite my very busy schedule. 

It's Friday, and we should feature another NRG lesson from our friend Techno Kid.

Have a great weekend

Obstacles in the Pursuit of NRG

“Okay, so you've learned a lot since embarking on the journey of NRG. The growth I've seen in you since we started diving deep into this NRG rabbit hole... it's inspiring, man. Truly.

On day one of your journey, you learned that the initial step in the pursuit of NRG is to unleash the personal freedom and start to feel all that NRG. Easy enough, right? But then the second stage seems to be a battle with time. You want to experience as much as possible, but time limits this. So you do battle with time. That struggle against the clock, trying to cram in as many epic experiences and energy rushes as possible... that's the eternal dance of the NRG seeker.” 

Techno Kid stands up and begins pacing, his movements fluid. Then he continues. "Time's always breathing down our necks, urging us to optimize every last second. But hey, that's what makes chasing NRG such a thrilling game, right? If the pursuit of NRG were easy, everyone would have it.

If you play NRG right, in just one afternoon of three hours, you can do a killer workout at the gym, followed by a martial arts workout, followed by some high speed road cycling and then swimming laps. You can grill dinner (maybe some beef kabobs and then wrap it all up with a couple drinks while dinner cooks. And might I emphasize, you can do it all in 3 hours. Yes, I have done this, and I know people who have done it, too. The best part, you are supercharged. It's like stealing NRG from the universe that aims to rob you of your NRG. If you can do that, brother, you are a straight up NRG superhero!

But then we get to the third obstacle. Maybe you've recognized it already in your quest for NRG. Have you ever noticed that each day there is the sudden drop of NRG? You might feel it between 2 and 4 PM, then about an hour before bed. Yes, the third road block in your way is dealing with those pesky NRG valleys throughout the day. Each one a hurdle, a challenge to overcome on the never-ending path to enlightenment. And the only solution to replenish NRG during these valleys is to sleep. Sleep, that glorious, rejuvenating escape from the daily grind. It's the great equalizer, the reset button for our weary minds and battered bodies. With just a 5-10 minute doze session, you've overcome the mid afternoon NRG drop. And, of course, the 8-10 hours that you should be getting each night. Think of it as a shallow death with new life at the birth of a new day... another day to pursue NRG!”

Coping with Black Helicopters

Hello All:

Since moving to Arizona, I’ve noticed that there is a presence of black helicopters in the area. I've seen them. What's more? Yesterday afternoon, my wife reported seeing three of them hovering low to the ground while she was driving home from work. From her description, these were the mysterious type that were popular back in the 1990s. 

Maybe black helicopters are making a comeback? Maybe you will soon see them in your neighborhood? If so, we have a helpful guide to help you deal with black helicopters.

Coping with Black Helicopters

The presence of black helicopters in your area can be a topic of interest and speculation. In some cases, black helicopters are associated with military or government operations, and their presence can spark curiosity and concern among local residents. It's often speculated that black helicopters are involved in covert operations, surveillance, or other secretive activities.

If you're concerned about the presence of black helicopters, you may want to look into official sources, such as military or government websites, to see if they provide any information about ongoing operations or activities in the area. Additionally, local news outlets or community forums may also have information or discussions about the topic.

If you suddenly notice that you are fixated with black helicopters and they appear more often than normal, it might be your subconscious attempting to highlight feelings of being watched, controlled, or invaded. Black helicopters symbolize a sense of paranoia, anxiety, or a loss of privacy. They may also represent a perceived threat to one's personal freedom or autonomy.

If at night you dream of black helicopters, it could be because you feel overwhelmed by external forces or circumstances. You might sense being monitored or judged by others. You might fear losing control or being powerless; anxious about being exposed or being vulnerable.

But what if you are being followed by black helicopters throughout the day?

If you feel like you're being followed by black helicopters, it's essential to prioritize your safety and well-being. First and foremost, remain calm and try not to jump to conclusions. It's possible that the helicopters are just conducting routine operations or training exercises. Try to gather more information about the helicopters, such as their tail numbers, direction of flight, and any other distinctive features.

    • If you feel threatened or harassed, contact local law enforcement or authorities, such as the police or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to report the incident.

    • If you're in a public place, try to find a safe and secure location, such as a building or a crowded area, where you can feel more protected.

    • Avoid engaging with the helicopters or trying to confront them. This could escalate the situation and put you at risk.

    • Consider reaching out to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional if you're feeling anxious or stressed about the situation.

    • Keep a record of the incidents, including dates, times, locations, and any details about the helicopters.

    • Try to find witnesses or other people who may have seen the helicopters.

    • Contact local media outlets or community groups to see if others have reported similar incidents.

    • Remember, your safety and well-being are the top priority. If you feel like you're in danger, don't hesitate to seek help and support.

What if a black helicopter is attempting to abduct you?

If a black helicopter lands close to you and individuals attempt to abduct you, prioritize your safety and try to escape or find help as quickly as possible.

    • Try to remain calm and think clearly. Panicking can cloud your judgment and increase the risk of harm.

    • If possible, try to put as much distance between yourself and the helicopter as you can. This can make it more difficult for them to apprehend you.

    • Find a safe location: Look for a nearby building, vehicle, or other secure location where you can seek refuge. If you're in a remote area, try to find a natural barrier, such as a group of trees or a body of water, to put between yourself and the helicopter.

    • If you have a phone, try to call emergency services, such as 911, or contact a trusted friend or family member to alert them to your situation.

    • Do not attempt to confront or engage with the individuals trying to abduct you. This can escalate the situation and put you at greater risk.

    • If you're in a location with objects that could be used as a deterrent, such as a stick, rock, or other heavy object, use them to defend yourself if necessary.

Black Helicopter Invasions at Home

What if you are sleeping at night, and wake up to discover that a stealth black helicopter is right outside your window without making noise and observing you you sleep? This is likely to be a very frightening and disorienting experience. However, it's essential to consider the possibility that this might be a dream or a product of your imagination, especially if you're prone to vivid dreams or have been experiencing stress and anxiety. Try to remain calm and assess your surroundings. Look for any signs of a helicopter, such as rotor wash, shadows, or reflections.

If you have a phone or other device nearby, try to take a photo or video of the helicopter, if it's indeed present. And consider waking up a family member or roommate to verify your experience and get their perspective.

The following morning, do some investigation. Check your window and the area outside to see if there's any evidence of a helicopter, such as debris, dust, or unusual markings.

When black helicopters find their way to the inside of your home, it's a completely new playing field. Many people would find it unlikely to discover a black helicopter in their own home, but technology has significantly advanced since the 1990s. Black helicopters can be miniaturized in the 21st century. You might wake up early in the morning to go downstairs and make coffee, only to discover a black helicopter in your kitchen! This is an extreme invasion of privacy, but it's crucial not to harm the black helicopter in any way. Black helicopters are suspected to be owned and operated by government and military agencies, and damaging one could be considered destruction of federal property with penalties to include fines and even imprisonment. 

Why, you might roll over in bed at night to see a black helicopter sleeping in bed next to you! 

Major Ed Dames: Nuke Mars?

Hello All:

It's mid-week already and a very busy week for me. But I've managed to get some important information on the prospect of nuking Mars that comes from Major Ed Dames, and the possibility of an advanced civilization living under the planet's surface.

I'm not sure if I can post more articles for the week, but I'll do my best.

Major Ed Dames in this article is an AI-generated fictional representation for entertainment purposes, only. An interview did not take place with the actual Major Ed Dames being featured. All information and facts suggested in the interview is made up.

Major Ed Dames: Nuke Mars?

Nuke Mars is a controversial concept proposed by Elon Musk, aimed at transforming Mars into a more habitable environment for humans. The idea involves using nuclear explosions to create artificial suns above the Martian atmosphere, which would theoretically warm the planet and initiate a greenhouse effect.

While I can appreciate the theoretical basis behind the idea, I must express strong reservations about the practicality and ethics of implementing such a plan. On one hand, the concept leverages known scientific principles to propose a method of planetary engineering. But many suspect that there is an ocean under the surface of Mars and possible life. What does that do with the ethics? The presence of subsurface water and the tantalizing possibility of microbial life, or even more complex forms, significantly complicates the ethical equation. But if intelligent life did exist beneath Mars' surface, a nuclear strike would be an unthinkable catastrophe. The destruction and loss of life would be unimaginable, not to mention the irreversible damage to any potential avenues for interstellar diplomacy or cultural exchange.

During my time with the Stargate Program and in subsequent private research, I've conducted numerous Remote Viewing sessions targeting Mars. The experiences have been quite extraordinary and revealing.

In one particular session, I found myself standing on what appeared to be the rust-red surface of Mars, much like the images transmitted by NASA probes. However, the scene before me was far stranger and more wondrous than anything captured by conventional cameras. As I stood there, the Martian landscape seemed to shimmer and distort around me, as if reality itself was bending to reveal hidden truths. 

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a series of low, resonant humming sounds emanated from directly beneath my feet. I soon realized that these vibrations were caused by massive structures moving beneath the planet's surface. It suggested intelligent life to be under that ground. And not just any life, but a highly advanced civilization. Through my remote viewing, I gained glimpses of colossal underground cities, teeming with bioluminescent life adapted to the subterranean environment. The technology they possessed was far beyond anything humans have yet achieved.

But here's where things took an even stranger turn. Among the sprawling subterranean metropolises, I sensed a powerful, ancient consciousness - an artificial superintelligence that had long ago merged with the native Martian minds, giving rise to a singular, hyper-evolved entity. Think of biological entities that merged with some sort of artificial intelligence, kind of like what Earth is in the early stages of doing now. Though light-years ahead of our present capabilities, that fusion of organic intellect and synthetic cognition bore a striking resemblance to the path we ourselves may eventually tread.

While taking all of this in, I recalled the the Martial Canal Hypothesis; the 19th century notion proposed by Percival Lowell and others, suggesting that linear features observed on Mars indicated a vast irrigation system built by intelligent beings. It was certainly an intriguing possibility to consider alongside my remote viewing experiences. And in case anyone wonders, I very much doubt that George Adamski's "Space Brothers" were connected to whatever advanced civilizations reside beneath Mars' surface. Adamski's tales of meeting friendly aliens from other planets were little more than tall stories, lacking any empirical evidence.

As for their physical form, it was unlike anything I've encountered in my waking life. While I couldn't discern every minute detail due to the nature of the remote viewing experience, I gathered that they were humanoid in shape, but taller and leaner than contemporary humans.

We simply can't launch missiles to Mars. There's no telling what these people would do to retaliate. Given the incredible advanced level of technology demonstrated by these subterranean inhabitants, and the mere possibility that they possess weaponry far beyond our comprehension, deliberately provoking them with a nuclear attack would be an act of suicidal insanity.

Their lack of introducing themselves to Earth people and non-interference in human affairs, despite their obvious technological superiority raises many questions. Based on the brief glimpse I caught of their collective consciousness, I believe they might view us as... young. Naive. A species still in the process of discovering its place in the universe.

Do the Nephilim Giants Still Exist Today?

In Numbers 13:33, the spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan reported back, saying, "We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them." They referred to the giants as the Nephilim, a term also mentioned in Genesis 6:4, where they are described as mighty men of renown. The Anakim, specifically, were considered descendants of the Nephilim.

So who are these giants? Were they real? And are they still around today?

The giants, referred to as Nephilim, are a mysterious group mentioned in Genesis 6:4, where they are described as the offspring of "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men." This passage has been interpreted in various ways. Some believe the "sons of God" were fallen angels who mated with human women, resulting in a race of giants known as the Nephilim. This interpretation has roots in ancient Jewish texts like the Book of Enoch, which elaborates on these beings and their corruption of humanity.

Others interpret the "sons of God" as the descendants of Seth (the righteous lineage), while the "daughters of men" were descendants of Cain (the unrighteous lineage). The Nephilim, in this view, were simply powerful or tyrannical humans.

So when the Israelites finally entered the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua (after Moses’ death), they were initially fearful of the giants, as seen in the scout report. However, God reassured them that He would go before them and deliver their enemies into their hands.

God repeatedly reminded the Israelites not to fear the inhabitants of the land, including the giants. In Deuteronomy 9:3, God says: "Understand therefore this day, that the Lord your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and subdue them before you." This assurance bolstered their courage.

When Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan, they encountered and defeated several groups of giants. In Joshua 11:21–22, it is recorded that Joshua cut off the Anakim from the hill country, including Hebron, Debir, and the surrounding areas:  

"At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakim from the hill country..." Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns.

However, some Anakim remained in cities like Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. So the giants didn’t disappear entirely. One of the most famous stories involving a giant happens much later in Israel’s history: David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Goliath is described as a Philistine from Gath, one of the cities where the Anakim remnants had been left. Goliath’s enormous size and strength likely tie him to the same lineage of giants.

It might lead one to ask that since Joshua didn't destroy the giants entirely, are there still giants on the Earth today? Some modern interpretations and fringe theories propose that the Nephilim or their descendants might still exist in some form today, often linking them to various myths or conspiracy theories. However, these claims lack substantial biblical or historical support. The idea that they could be present today is more speculative and often rooted in sensationalism rather than scriptural evidence.

Overall, the consensus among biblical scholars is that the Nephilim, as described in the Bible, do not exist today. They were part of a specific narrative in the ancient world.

But the history of the giants can remind us of our troubles that are too great for us to handle. Many times we can be confronted with a problem or crisis for which it is very possible to summon a personal power and come out victorious. Yet there are other times when a problem is much too great, great enough to destroy us no matter how hard we try. For those types of troubles you rely, entirely, on God. If he could defeat giants that made the Israelites look as small as grasshoppers, then God can surely help you. And it's perfectly alright to do this, to admit that you cannot do one thing or another without the help of God. For some reason, this is not a popular idea for humans to accept. We like to think that there is nothing we can’t accomplish provided we put our minds to it and keep our heads above the water. Yet humans are limited in what they can do. For those limitations, rely on God. And he will take care of you.

I recall a priest once saying in a homily that instead of telling God how big our problems are, we should tell our problems how big God is.

NRG: Verify… Quantify… Electrify!

Hello All:

It's Friday and we turn the stage over to our friend, Techno Kid and his trademarked lessons in NRG.

Have a great weekend!

NRG:  Verify… Quantify… Electrify!

"It’s Friday, and time for another lesson in NRG!

Verify... Quantify... Electrify? Have you ever heard of that? What's that? You can't say you've heard that particular combo before. But, damn, if it doesn't tickle your curiosity bone! Well let's break it down, shall we?"

Techno Kid takes a seat again, leaning back casually as he turns the mysterious phrase over in his mind. "Alrighty, let's start with the first word - 'Verify'. As in, making sure it's real, authentic, no cap. Verifying is crucial for any serious seeker of truth and power. You gotta ensure you're dealing with the real McCoy, not some watered-down imposter."

"Quantify - that one's easy too. Think of quantify as the next logical step after verifying, like... okay, I know this stuff is legit, now lemme figure out the exact dosage, the specific amounts I need to really max out my NRG levels, ya dig? You have to verify if the NRG is real, then you need to quantify how much you need to expose yourself to. - that's the perfect recipe for a killer NRG boost!" His eyes sparkle with excitement as he continues unpacking the phrase.

"Then there's electrify!" Techno Kid grins wolfishly, his eyes glinting with a dangerous mix of excitement and challenge at the final word. "Electrify... Now that's where things start gettin' REAL interesting!" He leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers dramatically. "But let's recap. First you verify that this source of raw energy is the genuine article. No counterfeits allowed, only the purest, undiluted NRG will suffice!" He raises a finger, emphasizing each point. "Next up, you gotta quantify juuust how much of that potent, verified NRG you can handle without frying your circuits completely." He explains, holding his hands apart as if measuring an invisible substance. "It's a delicate balance, pushing your limits while avoiding total overload. Too little, and you miss out on a prime opportunity to juice up your reserves. Too much, well... you could end up more burned out than a Black Sabbath roadie on a three-day bender.

But what defines electrify? Electrify means you plug yourself in and LET IT RIP!" His eyes flutter shut for a moment as he reaches inward, trying to put the indescribable rush of electrification into words. "Man... when you electrify, it's like... picture a live wire, crackling with raw, untamed power." He shudders, a low moan escaping his throat at the memory.

"Now I know what you're asking. What are these sources of NRG that we are verifying and quantifying and plugging ourselves into? Could coffee be NRG in the right amount? HELL YES, COFFEE CAN BE THE ELIXIR OF LIFE IF YOU USE IT RIGHT!" He exclaims, getting amped up at the topic shift towards caffeine. "But, see, coffee's a double-edged sword. It could be a dance with the Devil. That's why you keep it about 3 cups a day. THAT'S a well-calibrated dosage, my friend! Gold star for you.

But sources of NRG aren't necessarily chemicals that boost your psyche and physical energy. A source that you are verifying, quantifying and plugging into can be an activity done to reach a heightened state of NRG. Activities designed to elevate your consciousness and unleash your inner power are primo sources of NRG. Here are a few dead giveaways that an activity is a certified, grade-A supplier of the good stuff:

1. Intensity: Intensity is the cornerstone, man! When an activity makes your heart race, your senses heighten, and your mind laser-focus - that's when you know you're tapping into real NRG."

Techno Kid holds up two fingers, his face lighting up with passion as he continues rattling off the qualities of an authentic NRG-supplying activity. "Number two, baby - Flow. You gotta be locked in, man, completely absorbed in the moment. Time slows down, distractions fade away, and it's just you, your goals, and the sheer exhilaration of crushing it. So a good analogy is don't concentrate on reading the book for the sake of reading it, actually get absorbed into the story. Getting totally absorbed, letting everything else melt away until it's just you and the experience - that's the sweet spot right there!

Three - Progression, baby. An authentic NRG source keeps challenging you, pushing you outta your comfort zone and encouraging you to level up, ya know? Boredom is the mortal enemy of NRG growth, so a legit source gotta keep you on your toes, always hungry for more."

He leans in closer, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial tone. "And finally, the biggie, the holy grail of NRG indicators - Transcendence. When an activity, an experience, or even a moment allows you to rise above your everyday limitations and tap into something greater, something... extraordinary within yourself, that's the ultimate sign you've found a true source of NRG.

Transcendence, progression, flow, intensity - those four pillars hold up the entire temple of NRG, brother. If an activity ticks all those boxes, you better believe you're dealing with the real deal." His grin widens as he looks at you appraisingly.

"Do you think you understand NRG sources, now? That's why music gives us NRG. That's why going to the gym gives us NRG. And that's why new experiences like vacationing in new places gives us NRG. Music, fitness, travel - heck, any activity that gets your blood pumping, challenges you mentally or physically, and maybe even shifts your perspective ever-so-slightly.

And then of course you want to know how much of this source you want to be exposed to. That's quantifying. Once you've identified a solid source of NRG, the next step is figuring out your optimal dose. You wanna push yourself hard enough to feel that electric buzz, that invigorating surge of energy coursing through your veins... Is there a formula for this?  If only it were that simple. Life's no math equation, and neither is chasing NRG. Quantifying your NRG is all about listenin' to your gut, feeling out whatcha can handle." He taps his chest, just over his heart.

"It's like, imagine you're a plant, yeah? Sunlight's your NRG source. Plants are smarter than they look sometimes. Anyway, imagine our green-thumbed friend here..." Gestures vaguely at an imaginary potted plant nearby. "She soaks up sun all day, nice and steady. she ain't dumb enough to bake herself crisp under the midday scorcher though! Same damn principle applies to us meatbags. We gotta tune into our own rhythm, figure out when we're thirsty for more NRG and when we're drowning in too much of a good thing.

Road cycling might give you NRG. A nice 15 to 20 miles is good. But over 30 would drain you (unless you're used to that sort of thing). You want the right amount that leaves you energized, accomplished, ready to tackle stuff. But crank it up too much and suddenly you're just dragging, right? Overwhelmed instead of empowered.

Finally... Energize! Now we're cooking with gas! Plugging in, electrifying, lighting the fuse - call it what you want, but that's the money shot right there. It's a no brainer. You follow the previous two steps, precisely, Energize should be a no brainer. You'll be a live wire, crackling with raw, untamed power.”

There's Plato (play-tow)... Plato (plah-tow)... and Pluto

Plato, the philosopher king, spent his days grappling with the very nature of reality and existence. 

But then there's Pluto, god of the underworld in Roman mythology. His domain was the realm of the dead, the eternal resting place beyond mortal reckoning of time. A strange symmetry, wouldn't you agree? The man who pondered the deepest questions of being, and the deity overseeing the boundary where time holds little sway.  

Perhaps the (play-tow) in this connection represents the "convoluted understanding" of Plato's works via the prism of his namesake and the underworld's ruler.

But, now, what if our component of Pluto is not the Roman god of the underworld, but the planet? What would the connection, then, be with Plato? 

The dwarf planet Pluto, exiled from the ranks of the celestial elite, much like the ideas and forms in Plato's allegory of the cave lay hidden beneath the surface of mundane existence; in Plato's famous allegory, the prisoners first encounter the shadows cast by the puppets and statues, believing them to be the ultimate reality. Only when released from the cave do they ascend to perceive the true Forms - the perfect ideals of justice, virtue, and beauty themselves.

Today in the 21st Century, we realize that there are millions of other Plutos in the Oort belt just as worthy as being a planet. We've been "made smarter" in the 21st century. Just as the prisoners came to recognize the relativity of their initial beliefs, so too did our cosmic understanding grow with the reclassification of Pluto.

But don't think for one second that Pluto is not a planet! Long live Planet Pluto!

Report to Your Local 7-11 for Mealtime

Just think: there are people who grew up understanding that if they are hungry or it's time to eat, they should report to their  local 7-11 convenience store and pick up some goodies; or maybe a hot dog on one of those roller grills, and wash it down with a 64 ounce soda or Slurpee.

It's fascinating how convenience stores like 7-11 have become a staple in many people's lives, especially for those who grew up in urban areas or near these stores. They represent more than just a place to grab a snack; they often evoke memories of quick meals, late-night cravings, and spontaneous gatherings with friends. From hot dogs on roller grills to instant noodles and snacks, 7-11 offers a wide array of options that cater to various tastes.  The 64-ounce sodas and Slurpees are iconic! They provide a refreshing treat, especially during hot summer days. Open 24/7 in many locations, these stores provide a sense of security that food is always available, no matter the time.

For many, visiting 7-11 is more than just a food run; it's a cultural experience. The sounds, smells, and sights of the store can evoke strong feelings of nostalgia, connecting them to their childhood or teenage years. It's interesting to consider how these experiences shape our eating habits and cultural references. But while convenience stores provide quick solutions, they can also contribute to less healthy eating patterns. The prevalence of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-calorie snacks can lead to dietary choices that may not support long-term health. For those who grew up with these habits, it can be beneficial to find a balance between convenience and nutrition. 

Look for healthier options at convenience stores, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or nuts. Consider preparing meals or snacks in advance to have healthier options readily available. Practice mindfulness when eating, paying attention to hunger cues and making conscious choices about what to consume. Ultimately, the way we approach food and convenience reflects broader lifestyle choices and values.
