Limitless - 2011




The premise of Limitless is kind of simple and topical for those who keep an eye on smart drugs. What if you could tap into your full neurological capacity including the subconscious bandwidth that is the iceberg of consciousness and cognitive processing?

Mmm yes please.

This is a fun movie that I hugely enjoyed, though I kind of wondered if the choice of book name in the movie was a nod to certain group(s) who seem to have a edge when it comes to inside knowledge and making incredibly smart decisions that outwith us pedestrian mortals again and again. I have worked with people who take smart drugs and it's like competing with an Olympian in terms of Stamina, Mood and Process Capacity though I liked the individual and enjoyed working with them.

NB: The Dark Fields is a 2001 techno-thriller novel by Irish writer Alan Glynn. It was re-released in March 2011 under the title Limitless, in order to coincide with its 2011 film adaptation, the name of the book in the movie is Illuminating.

Demons, Possession, Voices, Archons, Schizophrenia & Psychosis



This is a brilliant interview by Robert Stanley with a highly experienced PhD psychiatrist, who finally began to treat people, with an understanding that the voices they heard in their head were real. You will be stunned by this information and have a more pluralistic view of demons and mental illness. One that is less about drugging people till the voices go away, or become tolerable, but actually about treating the issue as real. 

This subject is something modern psychiatry totally loses the plot about. An irony considering that logically its a mental illness to ignore reality.

So You Think You Can Spot A Conspiracy?





This only takes a minute and is very funny. It makes the point that humans are genetically wired to see what they trust and trust what they see. My hope from an evolutionary perspective is that this is a good thing in the long term for our species, but in the short term can lead to massive abuses of trust as I believe is the case from the power elite.

Psychologists Dealing With 9/11 Conspiracy Denial




This is brilliant. A bunch of very brainy psychological experts with PhD's and more explain why people are having a hard time dealing with the ugliness that 9/11 wasn't the conspiracy theory of a man in a cave in Afghanistan (who was shot and buried at sea with no trial). Lots of questions still remain though.

Why Did Quantum Physics Scare Off Richard Feynman




I've always spoken well of Richard Feynman and I still believe he was a great guy with respect to being a human being and his overall scientific humility. However it's time to prune down his contribution to physics because in the final analysis he was too intimidated to be scientific about quantum mechanics and worse than that encouraged his students to stay away from the subject as the video above explains unambiguously.

Let's get one thing straight. You can keep your scientific materialism because the future is going on metaphorically and actually at a quantum mechanical level. The whole observation, repetition and measurement-science of materialism is maxed out and hasn't brought our species intellectually forward from the combustion engine which requires fossil fuels to fight over and has idiots with rulers telling thinkers what is and isn't.

Henry Stapp gets a little bogged down here with the relationship between existing information, intention (free will) and quantum wave collapse but make no mistake, broadly speaking he's saying we create our realities and while that requires a discussion of how collective realities work together the subject can be explained to primary children in a few hours. Instead we teach them to be obedient, to memorize, to be unoriginal and to be uniform in their opinions.

So the question remains. Why did physics and Richard Feynman do the unscientific thing and back away from the most important quantum mechanical (sub atomic) discoveries at the beginning of the last century? What sort of scientist advises his students not to try and understand something? Why did Richard Feynman tell his students to 'shut up and calculate' or was that David Mermin

I think the story behind that is much bigger than has yet come out into the open. I don't want to share what I think yet but I don't mind raising a flag on the issue so that I can elaborate on it later as conciousness picks up enough to understand that this is a holographic universe and we can shape it, up to, but no further than our wildest dreams (think about that) as long as we block out the huge chunks of toxic propaganda and for profit-media framing our realities by keeping us penned into ideas that are past their sell by date. 


Advertising is hugely toxic in this matter too. It reinforces you to believe you're a consumer instead of a creator. You consume food of course but more importantly you create life in many many ways from ideas to babies.

This is all about free will and by coincidence earlier today, I see that peer review is stifling innovation too. But by now you might know my views on scientific materialism. It's down a cul de sac.

How To Build A Time Machine (And Deal With The Grandfather Paradox)



If you're not paying attention to the scientific press these days you may be missing the details of remarkable stories that an intense transformation is under way with regard to our understanding of what science can and cannot do. (The word science is completely loaded so I use it in a broad sense here though philosophically it is inseparable from many other dimensions at times including religion, nature and conciousness if we really extrapolate what they all mean)

Stories like super-luminal travel, time travel, invisibility cloaks, varying decay rates affecting atomic half life, new materials and a wide selection of transdimensional issues that are just round the corner. It's not quite scientific but I've picked up where science is heading by reading a number of alien/ET/non terrestrial contactee accounts. It's not perfect but it does give us a composite picture of what science is capable of by examining multiple account evidence through people who are alien contactees and for me has provided a more robust method than reading The New Scientist, Wired or a host of 'serious' publications currently back pedalling over a lot of inviolable scientific truths.

There are a number of reliable witnesses who have made extensive notes on both the history of our planet (the 7-Eleven of the solar system - busy with a variety of customers), the history of man (late arrival to existing evolutionary primates subsequently genetically altered) to the fallacies of our science establishment (we've got gravity wrong).

It's not for me to say which alien contactee notes are the best as I build a composite picture from points where separate accounts agree, though I would point out that no discussion of time travel is complete without discussion of timelines, the multiverse and John Titor's time travel machine which is still intriguing enough to classify as credible given the twin counter-rotating black hole technology.

As a final point to pre-empt the scientific publications today that are only now questioning the ability to travel at superluminal speeds I am sure that this hurdle will be solved by  technology and/or conciousness. You heard it here first unless you heard it over there before.

Our Reptilian Brains (The R-Complex)



Of all the subjects that has people shaking their heads in absolute surety before heading back to the safety and reality of FOX news its the reptilian topic within the alien genre. There's an irony there in so much as the amygdala or reptile brain is very much part of human biology and neurology. 

The amygdala is the fight or flight part of the brain that chooses not to weigh up all the evidence when quick decisions are needed, and so its unavoidably amusing that people running away from the subject are deploying the part of the brain that prevents most learning about reptilian brains. 

Epistemologically it's like refusing to engage the cerebral cortex in order to study how the cerebral cortex came into being so rapidly. If one questions the veracity of evolutionary theory's punctuated equilibrium, it's an overnight appearance in terms of evolutionary time and like waking up one morning without a bicameral mind. But you wont even get that far if you've shut down the cerebrum faculties because the amygdala simply isn't up to the task. Good at erections and a rush of adrenaline if that's more your thing.


I was watching Arthur C Clarke earlier of 2001 Space Odyssey fame and wondering how an artist writer could also be so talented as to propose the invention of the earth shrinking satellite when I heard him repeat a line that if any description of the future isn't so fantastic it's unbelievable it's as likely to be not up to scratch, and I thought that an appropriate way to end this post.
