Worktime synchronicity

Weirdness was in full force at work yesterday, a little bit at least. A coworker and I were discussing the X-files (mainly the UFO aspect of it) and in a weird twist the first customer I had immediately afterward was named Kenneth Arnold. For those that don't know, in June of 1947, a pilot by the name of Kenneth Arnold witnessed flying above Mt. Rainer a series of crescent shaped objects kicking off the "flying saucer" craze of the 50s and 60s.

Something just occurred to me as I was writing this as well. It's weird that a coworker and I were just talking about the X-files and UFOs and then had a guy name Kenneth Arnold walk in. It's even weirder though that the X-files is a show about people investigating the UFO phenomenon and Kenneth Arnold also investigated UFO sightings after his own initial one. Weird...

We'd so be Star Trek if...

Ok...well not necessarily Star Trek, but for the purposes of this post it's the best comparison I can make.

First off I must note that I saw the latest Star Trek flick last night and quite simply...it kicked butt...big time bending butt. Not to mention it seemed to go with the idea that I have where when you travel back in time it creates a new time line to avoid paradoxes...ok getting of track...let's turn this ship around.

As I was watching said Trek film, I couldn't help, but wonder...why aren't we doing stuff like that now? The simplest answer is we don't have the technology. However that brought up another question...why don't we have the technology yet? Now you can say that it's because we haven't achieved it, but that's the same as saying we don't have it. In my opinion the answer lies in the way we do business now at days...particularly in the corporate sector...and the very entertainment industry that brought us the latest Star Trek.

We as humans are self serving to say the least. Most any individual does things to satisfy their own wants and needs. There comes a point however where it becomes not about just basic wants or needs, but simply about wanting as much as you can horde up and well...waste. The best evidence of this is the recent "recession" which I believe was brought on because of greed which caused miss management of money. For instance, the whole fiasco with that one company who used most of their government bail out cash to pay their top execs bonuses. The name of the company is flying right over my head at the moment, or I'd give you a clearer example. Anyways the point was that these are people with quite a bit of money who...felt they deserved more.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that we pay all those who have the most money more money then the average person simply because they are the ones who decide where all the money goes. And guess what...it primarily goes to them. And what do they do with it? Waste it on extravagance mostly.

I'm sure some of you reading this are like "well they work hard and deserve to spend it how they chose.", but I must ask how much harder do they work then you? Yeah, I'm sounding a bit communist, but sit back and think about it. Then ask yourself this, what would you do if you made as much as these execs and corporate guys? Would you buy clothes with $10,000 dollar price tags? Or the latest $200,000 (hey you can buy a house for that) sports car? Or would have the decency to perhaps help the poor or do something else to help mankind such as sponsor technology research in anything from medicine to the latest super engines that may one day lead to warp drive?

I'm beginning to think this has turned into a rant, but at the same time I think I have a valid point which is why should we sit back and ooh and ah over the rich people? Shouldn't we be questioning what more productive pursuits could be attained with the money they throw around? I mean come on...I want my infinite improbability drive already...

For some reason people hated Enterprise, but I think this video belongs here:

One thing leads to another...

...and my focus starts to change. Last year I'm blogging about UFOs and other bizarre subjects on here and now I seem to slowly be going towards a more philosophical/theological subjects. Don't get me wrong I've still been blogging about UFOs and what not and probably still will. Actually looking back over the last year and a half or so I think the UFO thing is what got me heading where I'm going with my posts. I blame that Zecharia Sitchin guy and his blasted writings. Opening my mind up to how interconnected religions and myths from the mid east seem to be.

Adding to the madness my beliefs on the UFO/alien subject has gone towards a more ultra-dimensional angle as many events seem to fit better within that frame of reference. That of course got me pondering more heavily on how many beings from myths and religion are perhaps ultra-dimensional beings (divine or not) trying to influence our world for good or bad.

Of course now that I've added to the whole mess with pondering all the multidimensional stuff and the religions and what not, I find myself wondering about the true nature of reality. Then one thing leads to another and I'm reading religious texts (primarily the Bible, but recently the Tao Teh Ching as well, and I'm also looking to snag a copy of the Quran) and anything I can find on the web or books pertaining to interdimensional and quantum physical stuff (especially if it involves UFOs or the paranormal) .

Sadly I really have no clue where I'm going with this post or any of my potentially religious beliefs either. I've come to the conclusion however that somehow UFOs, multidimensionality, religion, the myths of old, and God are all somehow interconnected. I've also concluded that I exist in my own little world, but that is up for argument...unless of course you believe that reality is just a reflection of consciousness...in which case whose consciousness? Oh and if it turns out to be somehow a mass conscious reflection then most of you out there are sick, sick individuals and Cthulhu needs to eat your souls...however if it's just my consciousness...well the same thing goes...

Things are not what they seem to be...

The saying in this post title is overused, but that doesn't mean it's not true. For instance who would think a trip to the Dollar Tree would wind up with me bringing home two hardcover books that are right up my alley for $2 total. Normally the dollar store is just full of junk. Unfortunately neither book is UFO related (speaking of which I'm in dire need of some new UFO books to read...sounds like a trip to Powell's is in order), but they fit well with my fascination with esoterica and religion. In an odd synchronystic twist that I didn't notice till now, both books have titles starting with "The Secrets of..." which makes one wonder if it's purely coincidence (which by all means it probably is, but it's still sort of bizarre).

Anyways the first book that caught my attention is "The Secrets of Judas" which is about the infamous disciple who turned Jesus in and started the chain of events that lead to his crucifixion. One school of thought amongst some people now at days is that it was planned by Judas and Jesus in order to bring about the events and start Christianity. A theory I first heard about on The Naked Archaeologist. The book also features information on the "Gospel of Judas Iscariot" which is not considered Biblical canon.

The other book is one on astrology called "The Secrets of the Vaulted Sky: Astrology and the Art of Prediction" which I plan on using to become a money grubbing internet astrologer never had an active interest in other then occasionally reading my horoscope. Actually I lied, I also own a deck of Tarot cards which is actually missing one...I think it's the queen card. What? I'm not gonna go all the way upstairs and shuffle through the cards just to figure out which one it is...I'm to lazy for that.

Back to the subject of things that aren't what they always seem to be, I'm actually a big fan of the idea. It's part of the reason I read what I read, browse the blogs I browse, and watch what I watch. Simply put, I like the idea that there has been and is more to what goes on in the world then most people want to accept. Historians are a primary example, always refuting what doesn't fit within their cookie cutter history simply because they don't want to admit they're wrong. Now that I think about it, people not wanting to accept that sometimes their ideas or beliefs are wrong might be a big part in cover-ups/conspiracy theories.

Think about this for a second; most people know (or maybe that's assume) the ancient Egyptians never made it farther then Africa and parts of the Mediterranean. What if someone found evidence that they may have been to the Grand Canyon in Arizona however? (I've mentioned this before, and Autumn Forest of Ghost Hunting Theories also just did an excellent post on this topic as well) Not only would known history be turned upside down, but they'd also be forced to rethink the Columbus thing (already suffered a big blow with the discovery of L'Anse Aux Meadows, a viking settlement in North America) and rewrite even more history. Not only would their pride be hurt, but they'd also have a big work load...no wonder it may have been covered up.

Moving on to poke fun at scientists, I can't help, but wonder how they would feel if their claims of deep space travel being to hard was proven wrong by aliens landing. They spend all that time refuting those of us who believe that some UFOs are E.T. in origin, but they still say space travel, although hard, is possible. The idea that UFOs could be aliens visiting us regularly (and apparently quite easily) from deep space though would make them have to rethink their theories, or at least part of them.

Really what I'm getting at is that we as humans are pretty arrogant. Most of us are content to sit back and believe whatever the "professional" scientist, historian, or others (politicians, priests, whoever else you want to throw in there) tell us simply because it's nice taking things at face value. Then of course those "professionals" are only able to accept what they "know" because that is what they learned from other "professionals". Basically we assume that no matter how much something makes what we "know" look wrong, we believe that we're still right. We believe what we believe simply because we think our "professionals" know everything. Reality is though that things are probably not what they seem...leaving one wondering what things?





P.S. I know this probably not my best post, but I'm a bit rusty...got get back in my groove ya know?

Hamgeddon cometh!

In my apartment! Maybe...no official diagnosis, but I woke up last Saturday (11-28-09), which happened to be my daughters 3rd birthday, with aches and a 100 degree fever. The usual cold symptoms followed and after having it about two days, my kids came down the crap too. Long story short, my wife called the kid's pediatrician for advice and she said just keep an eye on them and that we most likely had the now infamous swine flu! By all means it was actually fairly mild and I'm feeling almost 100% better and so is my daughter. My son however wound up getting croup with it and he and my wife spent 5 hours or so at the ER yesterday morning, but now he's recuperating pretty well.

Porkocalypse aside, life as I said before, has been keeping me quite busy lately hence the severe lack in postage here. On top of my regular job, I've been assisting my wife who is pregnant with our third kiddo, with her barn chores (she has a horse and barn work for us means free horse board) so she doesn't have to lift hay our double sized wheel burrows full of horse manure. Then of course we have the mass of holiday confusion that comes with the last three months of the year as well as my daughters b-day this last Saturday.

That being said, what little free time I've had lately has been spent reading. Oddly (for me at least) a lot of that reading has been in my Bible, which I set out on a quest to read all the way through back in July. Between reading other books when I've needed a break from it (seriously, 66 books in one is quite a bit), I've actually been quite enjoying it. For instance, today I just started reading 1st Kings and I've got to tell you that King Solomon kicks butt so far.

Seriously, he was asked to decide which of two prostitutes was the real mother of a baby (they were roommates and had had babies at about the same time. One accidentally rolled over on top of hers in the middle of the night killing it, then pulled a switcharoo before the other mom woke up) do know what he said? "Get me a sword! Now cut the baby in half!" Now before you get all "On noooo not the babykins!" I must inform you the baby did not actually get killed. In fact the real mom spoke up saying "No don't kill it! Give it to her." and the other was like "No way! Cut it up!" and then Solomon was like "We have our answer! Give the baby, without cutting it in half, to mama number 1! The compassionate one!"

Anyways, besides having a guy who has the balls to make the judgment that a baby needs to be cut in half, The Bible has events going on that anyone who has been trotting around the subject of UFOs for a long time will tell you, might just be extra-terrestrial in origin. For the most part though, it is common knowledge that a lot of the events, most famously Ezekiel's Vision, resemble UFO encounters, and are played off as key evidence for ancient astronaut theories. These theories pretty much revolve around the idea that aliens created us and we just interpreted them as God or gods, like the way Zecharia Sitchin's work proposes.

I've had a couple ponders over this subject recently though, I think that perhaps if aliens were involved in the humankind's ancient past, they didn't actually create us as most followers of the theory seem to believe. Instead I think they were merely were trying to guide us not necessarily through technology (seriously, no ET help was needed for the pyramid's folks), but by giving us better morals and ethics by playing the role of the gods/God by doing miraculous things within certain groups in order to help us get out of some unsavory practices, such as human sacrifice. Another option of course is that they may have been spreading their own religions to us unenlightened primitives thereby setting in motion the whole "my religion is better then yours" debate on the planet Earth, but I digress...
