One of the `esoteric takeaways’ of the 1960’s and 70’s was the `tree-hugging’ phrase - “Be Here Now”. And, frankly, ultimately, it had a lot of `meanings’ - from the non-attachment of Zen, to a `re-connecting’ with the environment and spirituality, to a `self-centering’ - awareness and meditation connotation - and even more. It was a `hip’ thing to say (or - to say that you were `doing’).

(This would actually be `not-doing’ to those `into’ Carlos Castaneda.)

Anyway, that phrase BHN entered my mind again the other week and this post has been brain bubbling since then - so - let’s see how my mind treats this today. And, as you might expect - my mind generally has been mauling over the whole Phenomenology aspect of the phrase first - both in relation to `science’ and my so called Phillips Phenomenology. (see my categories (labels)  on this page for much more about PP)

The first `science’ thing that comes into my mind - is - of course, the shear impossibility to BE HERE NOW - as `all nows’ pass and have NO duration; and our actual `here’ is moving at an incredible rate of motion. All while being the pinpoint of the time-cone - with that exact balance of the actualized past `picking’ the next actualized space (the now) of the `future’.

Indeed, if we just consider THE REAL SPACE - that one (humans) occupied as matter — the `space’ that `was you’ - an instant ago ———- has truly `moved’ hugely. 

Do you know the reason?

Well, we are `traveling’ on a planet that is `rotating’; we are `traveling’ on a planet that is moving in rotation around a star; and we are `traveling’ as part of that stars rotation around OUR galaxy; and we are `traveling’ as part of the Milky Way’s `movement’ in a particular direction that all local galaxies are moving in. EVERY SECOND. Every Moment. (Indeed, I once added all this movement up and it is a large portion of 1% of the speed of light - every instant. The `here’ of `our last instant’ is `miles’ from the actual location of the `here’ of `this, our current instant’.)

So, that should put to rest in your mind that what we perceive as a permanent local space - is ONLY so - because it (every object within)  ALSO is moving at the same rate. We are matter spiraling thru space points - and have NO claim to a HERE in the human mind sense of the term. Indeed, only the `counting’ of the here’s of our space/matter - provides us with a `now’ or more precisely, a here-now,  at all.

And, before I even get to the `now(ish)’ - lets look at how human consciousness might fit into the words of this BHN phrase.

Certainly, the best connection of human consciousness lies in its own `beingness’.Beingness of the actualized past; beingness of the unactualized past; beingness of the actualized future (now); beingness of the `unactualized’ (referred to as the) future.

A beingness of `our space’ (body/matter) - a beingnessof `our minds’ (sense-knowingness of actualized memory, sense-knowingness of actualized now, sense-knowingness of actualized fantasy) - but most of all - a Beingness of Determinism via self-knowingness.

Indeed, we ARE, - our being IS, - because we KNOW the determinism we experience of space-time-and our consciousness - as only a BEING with a Ontological Knowingness can. BEINGS with ontological knowingness determine the `what is not able to not be’. That is, at least concerning their own perception structures of other SPACES (the not able to be) and other TIMES (the able to not be) - internally or externally.

(But spaces ARE NOTHING (not able to be) without duration (time - able to not be(ness) and time IS NOTHING without space to be (time needs to give a space it’s able to not be(ness) to MAKE - the determined Not Able To Not Be ————— that we call reality.

Finally, lets talk about what science has told humans about their consciousness of `our external senses of now’. First and foremost, research indicates that humans `see’ about 100 or so `frames’ of our external reality each second - YET - our consciousness picks about 8-12 of these and `molds them’ into a flowing reality for perception purposes. (Not only that - reality itself - turns on and turns off - trillions of times in that frame of reference.) I won’t even mention that what we `see’ in our brain is upside-down and the whole process needs to be righted for our senses.

But, even more important than that - at least to me - is that EVERYTHING we see —- all objects ——- are objects from the PAST — as the light that bounces off objects - which allows us to sense them -  has taken (time)(or a counted space)  to reach our retina. Time which MAKES that datum a PAST, a determined past that is UN-alterable as to its location or time of its data being sent by the light bounce.

So, if EVERYTHING outside of us is FROM the past (to us)  and is Now(ish) —- isn’t the best a human can do is - Be Here Nowish?

Hello, and welcome to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - thanks for having an interest in such an esoteric subject or for having an inquisitive mind out of the ordinary to most. I invite you to explore THS later after this article to read more esoteric posts you are sure to enjoy.

As you can see from today’s title - the subject is Doppelgangers - with a dictionary definition of: 1) a ghostly counterpart of a living person 2)a-double - 2)b - alter ego 2)c - a person with the same name as another. The definition is a good start, but, unfortunately, all definitions are not found in the dictionary - and - terms take on new meanings as `examples’ of doppelgangers - and what they might be - increases. You will find out what I mean by that in a moment.

Now, my life, perhaps like some of you out there - has had definition number 1 seemingly happen to them in some manner. Frankly, without too much of a deep mind review - I can think of two instances in my life of a variation on definition number 1.

I guess the purest form would have been a time when I walked into a place of business that I rented a business post office box. The folks in the shop were used to seeing me as I came in nearly daily and chatted while picking up my mail and making copies and using mailing services. And, one day I came in and the lady at the counter, who I knew well, looked at me astonished - almost a ghostly white in color (and I am not exaggerating) and said that a man `who looked exactly like me and who came in and left without a word’ (which she knew would be very odd) - had JUST been in the store a minute or two before myself’. I assured her it wasn’t me as I could tell she was a little shaken, but, it was a little unnerving.

It makes me wonder if somehow I had indeed projected an aspect of my space `ahead’ of me in a sense. That said, it doesn’t really fit definition number 1 because the `doppelganger’ didn’t have a ghostly form - it was a seemingly `living’ person. And, that said, this is the ONE AREA that we will find the definition of doppelganger is NOT complete. I will explain more shortly.

But, first, another time I had a seemingly personal `doppelganger’ event - that many many folks have  had - is when a complete stranger walks up to you (this has happened once to me) and tells you that they had to come up to you because you look so so much like Mr. Whoever. Indeed, one time while having a meal with my wife a woman walked up and said that and told me the name of her (I believe) dentist or foot doctor `who looked exactly like me’. Indeed, she was going to say hi until she realized she was wrong.

Now, once again, this doesn’t meet the definitions above - but - is the thing that most folks think or as a doppelganger experience. Indeed, when one is told the literal name of the person who looks exactly like oneself - it also is a little unnerving. That said, I should have looked up this guy and gotten a picture with him. Obviously, it is not unusual for folks to look like one another - just google `separated at birth’. And, most of us have been told we look like such and such person or celebrity. I guess this is indeed dictionary definition 2 - a double - except that our phenomenology based `reality’ will stretch that even more as you will read.

But, obviously, we are still a long way from the dictionary definition or the more esoteric side of the definition. Don’t worry - the woo woo factor is just around the corner.

So, lets finally get to the REAL definition number 1 - ghostly counterparts to living persons.

Now, perhaps unbelievably, my wife has proof in old family writings passed down to her now - from the 1800’s originally (it’s kind of a family diary started in the 1800’s and continuing from one person to another into the early 1900’s) that talked about her relatives doing EXACTLY that - exactly doppelganger definition 1. As, one of her relatives, on the voyage to America via boat - died - and around those same days of death on the ship (I have no confirmation if it was concurrent or not) - his doppelganger was seen in his hometown village in Europe.——- This, while in my own extended family - is not a single account — this is the number one definition for a reason - `ghostly’ doppelgangers, living in the flesh, have been seen in a bi-location space event - both as `ghosts’ and other times flesh and blood - as `the real double’.

Indeed, for the definition of doppelganger to actually be full and correct - it would say a doppelganger could be — a `living in the flesh double’ of a DEAD person.

Now, these `double’ `projections’ at death or near death also have their own nuances to flush out esoterically - as - some examples of `after death doppelgangers’ push the envelope about as far as any esoteric idea available to contemplate. Such as doppelgangers that seem to be filling out `intentions’ from the `other side’ with `real flesh doubles’.

Let me explain and perhaps turn you onto a great example if you are not aware (however, my regulars have read this before). I have posted before of one of the best known MODERN ERA cases of this `real flesh’ doppelganger event(s) happening - that of the Ghosts of Eastern Flight 401 of which a book and even a made for TV movie occurred. (If you hit the doppelganger tag at the bottom of this post you will find all my doppelganger posts but this is the one about the Eastern Flight 401 pilot doppelgangers  http://theheavystuff.com/?p=17   `titled - Going To The Light - Part 2′).

And once, a story about pilot and adventurer Steve Fossett surfaced that he had made a similar `in the flesh appearance’ to his wife http://theheavystuff.com/?p=46. The thing that `separates’ the `immigrant’ doppelganger events - and the pilot doppelganger events - is that the pilot events didn’t happen very close to the time of death but a significant time afterwards. Indeed, up to years, and even at impossible locations - such as on a flying jet at 35,000 feet.

Indeed, this `years after’ - months after - doppelgangers - brings to mind the one `days after’ possible doppelganger event that seemingly has changed history and certainly changed some peoples lives - such as - the reported `appearance’ of the in flesh Jesus - 3 days after his death.

However, even Jesus’s `in the flesh’ counterpart - was not a permanent feature of our common space reality and eventually vanished. Just as the pilot doppelgangers have been reported to - just as the immigrant doppelgangers did also during Bi-Location (in the case of time of death doppelgangers we may be talking of Simultaneous Bi-Location - one of the heaviest ideas in all esoterica).

Finally, to wrap up today’s post on doppelgangers - it is important to re-state that the Eastern 401 pilots and one would speculate Jesus - reappeared seemingly `upon their own intentions’ with an in the flesh `double’ - after death. The immigrant doppelgangers may have been more `projections of space’ (at death) oriented than - the `intentional’ spaces well after `death’.

Hello, welcome to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - thanks for hitting the link or returning via your bookmark or subscription via leaving a comment. And, if you are a returning user to THS you know this is not a blog with a lot of blather about light topics or endlessly regurgitating the same points over and over - just so that they are in the current mix of internet fodder.

But, recently, www.anomalist.com has really picked up their examination of the UFO topic by carrying almost daily a summary found via another internet site http://www.examiner.com - and, consquently,  more and more often America and the world are being entertained to some pretty fantastic UFO videos - video captures - and UFO photos via cellphones.

Indeed, it’s picking up  to the point that because I have a daily anomaly/ufo  listing page on Squidoo at www.squidoo.com/AnomalyMan that I was contacted Saturday by a gentleman from Florida requesting that I look at some of his recent (this week) video of some strange crafts and lights in the Florida skies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxqfddL9a2Y&feature=channel - this is part2 of 4 videos if you search his channel. And, as I indicated to this gentleman after watching all four videos, — something seems to be going on in the skies at a more frequent interval than before — OR — the proliferation of cameras is indeed recording these `anomalous events’ at the same level they have always occurred, except that now, - with our 24 hour news and entertainment cycle and the instant internet — awareness is simply increasing throughout the population to these events.

That said, it IS the FREQUENCY of at least two things that I would like to indulge your mind with for a few moments today.

If you have been following this blog - fairly recently (within my last few posts) I did an analysis of a UFO report presented by RAND group at the end of the 1960’s - and one part of that report were `tables’ on the frequency of various characteristics of  UFO’s by `shape’ - such as `saucer’, oval, circle, v-shaped, etc - and other factors and attibutes.

And, it’s the `change’ in one of those shapes - the frequency that is - that I find of real interest. In fact, I would go so far as to say we really have at a minimum 3 - yes, three — NEW (or newish) shapes to the whole UFO phenomena umbrella. The first, would be the seemingly stark increase in V-Shaped craft-  `other two’ would be ORB’s and a variation of the ORB/CRAFT — the `ribbonlike UFO’ - seen and video’d  in Stephenville, and elsewhere, (including the Atlanta area) in the last year or two.

Indeed, one could even argue that there is even a newer variation in SIZE as some HUGE crafts have now seemingly been seen (such as in Stephenville and reported even by pilots - but never video’d as far as I know - which makes one wonder about the veracity) and, the incredible variety of sizes the whole `orb phenomena’ seem to represent - from the tiny to the fairly large (seemingly) when seen high in the sky.

Indeed, `orbs’ have moved, changed, or transformed, from  being the `light’ or circle captured in photos in the 80’s and 90’s via cameras (at this time they were thought to be ghosts/spirits/entities) - into - nowadays, via video camera -  full fledged `balls of conscious light’ - seemingly. Some of which seem to even be able to be `called’ or `produced’  by a few individuals.

Indeed, some Orbs have been filmed recently that `emerge’ from other `orbs’. And, sometimes it isn’t even just one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bptMpkkjc indeed - if you watch Part 4 of the first YouTube link I gave  first, above, - you will see the same feature too - an orb begetting an orb. And, all of this type of `orb phenomena behaviour’ is seemingly new and seemingly developing.

All of which brings me back to the ongoing UFO Flap in Pennsylvania - take a look at these two videos - taken the same night about 80 miles apart and evidently of the same craft - http://www.examiner.com/x-2764-Paranormal-News-Examiner~y2009m8d12-Triangle-UFO-over-Murrysville-PA (do not miss the frame at 5:14 on this first video) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SU3nH1t3gc&feature=channel_page.

Now, the intriguing part of the above two videos is that THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IDENTICAL CRAFT recently. Indeed, this craft is seemingly running the same nighttime route - inviting - in a sense - the public to verify for themselves something is going on.

And, as I have said in previous posts, IF their are aliens in our atmosphere - one way they could `self-disclose’ their presence would be to do `regular flyovers’ at a frequency that would allow `waiting for them sightings’  by the common folk. Which is beginning to occur.

So, the question, is - is that what is going on? That the aliens are self-disclosing?  Or, is something else even more likely? Such as human based crafts being tested. Or, could it indeed, be both - which is what I’d like to share my thoughts on.

To me, and I’m sure many would disagree — both the Size issue and the V-Shaped craft issue - would seemingly BEG for a HUMAN explanation.  Yes, some sort of secret engineered crafts of human design. After all, why would `aliens’ suddenly change the number of a particular shape of their crafts? And, again logically, what need does an `explorer alien group’ have for HUGE mile wide crafts? Especially, just recently, all of a sudden? Whereas, IF humans have successfully engineered craft to float on anti-gravity or whatever — and if size were no limit — then I can certainly see governments wanting to have a few HUGE crafts if the planet needed to be evacuated for some perilous reason (huge asteroid). (Isn’t this what various factions of the UFO movement - say too - that we have back-engineered these crafts and have them ourselves too?) Frankly, it makes sense that a world elite would take care of such an evacuation method if it were available to them.

So, you ask - does it also hold that the ORB changes are human based too?

Well, as I’ve speculated in these pages before — I think most ORB’s or what I’m referring to as ORB’s — are in fact `humanbased’ in their ontology. (Notice I said most - as I also believe a limited number are more or less a cloaking of something solid.) I DON’T even rule out that the dead of humanity is evolving in some manner into accessing a higher consciousness level than before - if that idea appeals to you don’t miss my post at http://theheavystuff.com/?p=91. I would also suggest that the noosphere itself could be becoming more human consciousness based and able to produce an ORB response at given times. After all, we have 4-5 times the number of humans compared to even a century ago. (1.6 billion in 1900) Certainly, this may be some sort of quantitative response to the exponential increase in human awareness of the world.

Now, finally, my thoughts about the fact of the same UFO being filmed in multiple locations on the same night in PA, and, the supposed fact that this isn’t the first time the same craft has been seen taking the same route. To me, this is the most difficult one to pin down with a reasoned judgement and is the one that is the most ominous IMO.

Neither `aliens’ or `advanced human craft’ have a reason to WANT to establish a regular timing or routing of their craft - UNLESS - something is indeed potentially UP in the big political sense. What is being captured in these Pennsylvania videos is seemingly BIG news - indeed - it’s a wonder that TV stations are not staking such events out already (unless they are not allowed real investigation to keep their FCC license). Indeed, if we are to assume that it is `aliens’ crusing the skies and visible over hundreds of miles on a regular basis - if it continued - we could assume we are being conditioned by some protocol of engagement. Or, if we are to assume that it is `us-humans’ crusing the skies and visible over hundreds of miles on a regular basis - if it continued - we could assume we are being conditioned for the revelation of the advancement of human technology - leading us into some unknown future with a new world power structure in more ways than one.

 The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away,
Coming to take you away.
The magical mystery tour is dying to take you away,
Dying to take you away, take you away.

For most folks who claim to be `religious’ - the one frequently mentioned advantage to being a `follower’ is that it entitles one to `everlasting life’ — in a type of heaven, ….. or hell. But, does anyone really give that `promise’ of `everlasting life’ a close look - a close enough look to maybe say

`you know what - that really really doesn’t sound so good to me’.

I mean - do you really - really - want to be YOU —————- FOREVER?

If you are - perhaps you are more comfortable with being You - for eternity - than I am. And, if you are - perhaps you are less interested in `the unknown’ or the `what-else is there’ - than I am. Because, to me, I honestly don’t think I have any interest in being me —- FOREVER.

I mean it. Do you want to be YOU forever? For eternity? Without any chance to ever escape your own space? Without any chance to `reach a nirvana’ that involves losing one’s presence?

And, the hilarious thing is — we are talking about HEAVEN here. Certainly, HELL would NOT be something you would want to be as yourself - FOREVER.

So, that isn’t even a consideration about religion or real circumstance. We assume the afterlife to be free of pain or deep negative emotion. So, again, the premise of this post is - Heaven and Everlasting life.

Now, here - let us all take a leap of imagination - indeed, I’d like to use your mind for a minute or two to take a journey.

We first begin with the circumstances of your death - which in nealy all circumstances will not be ideal in terms of your state of being. Most likely you will have been in pain, in an altered consciousness state, or turmoil at some level, before `seeing the light’ of the next order for your being.

Seeing the light and being beyond having attractions within the world - you feel your space leaving your `body’ - and suddenly - you realize that your `space’ was more than your body - and you begin to wonder about this new `soul-space’ that you seem to have. You might even `see’ your dead or dying body `below’ you - now that your `soul-space’ has separated — indeed, the `confinement’ of what was once your body (often in pain) - and the end of all associated with it - seems to be a valid way to go - as you know all beings die - and it - evidently - now is your own spaces `time’. Ironically.

Eventually, you no longer `see’ your `dead’ `human’ body - but perhaps a few `dead’ folks can stay around `longer’ - even able to go to relatives in a `ghostly’ experience (to them) - some folks being very attached still to the emotions that one generates upon dying. Indeed, `some’ dead folks may thrive on the emotions still `in reality’ - and, to a degree - this could determine the `area’ of your `next’ ontological `space’ sequences.

But, while a `little’ of the experiences may be like this — it seems apparent that the vast majority of `human spaces’ that pass on - do NOT return in the immediate time-frame after their death to have REAL interactions with living humans. And, even those that seem to `become ghosts’ — don’t really seem to last forever.

Remember, we’ve had an estimated 100 Billion humans on Earth so far. SOOOOO - `everlasting life’, most likely, is not detailing anything about being a ghost. Who would ever want to be a ghost FOREVER. Nobody.  Indeed, if death’s experience is detailing any `area’ - it most certainly would be elsewhere than `here in reality’ - easily over 99% of the time.

Now, let’s continue playing out different death scenarios - and give me more time with your mind please.

So, this time - at death - don’t be distracted by the emotions of the living and take the view into the light. Turning away from the Earth and living Earthlings - will be a very scary thought - a thought of hope and fear.

The ultimate `what next’ turning for your space - with the overwhelming presence of an undeniable `light’. You remember the `instructions’ about going into the light - but - as a reader of The Heavy Stuff - you also remember that one caveat - that the light might or might not be God.

Because, the Light - might be the Greatest Light in this area of the universe. The light that always brought YOU life and everything you ever experienced — the Light - of the Sun. Our/Earth’s nearest star. Indeed, what you may suddenly realize is that your remaining `soul-mass’ - do to your intentions of going to the Light — have set you in motion for the greatest gravity center within 100 Trillion Miles - The Sun.

And, depending on how `close’ your perception space takes you - the Sun will appear to be overwhelming in every description - after all - this is the FIRST TIME in your LIFE (ironically) that you will be able to stare directly at this miracle of creation. This life giving instrument to all `rocky’ planets in the universe and most importantly - Earth.

Indeed, you may wonder if the Sun is indeed God. And, if your ’soul-space’ indeed merges with it - in the afterlife - you would realize - you wouldn’t be the first. It would be a sobering final realization.

But, perhaps you don’t rush for the Light. Perhaps you wonder where all the `previous dead friends’ are - that you had once in life? Shouldn’t `they’ be here - right now - for You? Isn’t that part of the lore too?

And, perhaps that `calling’ - those intentions’ will be all it will take - in the new ontological structure - for your `wish’ to `materialize’.

`Suddenly’ there `they’ are - just as you expected them. `They’ are going to show YOU a new path to follow. A space with new relationships, new actualization’s - `new’ eternal `life’ you begin to `think’. Perhaps they are even taking you to God or A God. And, the amazing thing is that you are going to find out `soon’ - `very very soon’.

And, perhaps, there will be an immediate Judgement. An immediate re-assignment for your `soul-space’ (could your `friends’ in the afterlife be leading you to a HELL?).  And, if you immediately `found’ yourself in a blazing hot location - would `losing your mind’ be a possible source of `relief’ of this eternity?

Or, likewise, perhaps you will hear immediate Harps and see blue skies and lo and behold - along with billions of others - you are sitting with some omnipresent being - just `beholding’.

But, if there is only ONE God - wouldn’t the deity be with - all beings of noteworthiness - beings from all planets or even spaces in which a being or entity existed? Wouldn’t that be a crowded place beyond belief?

Could that be the ultimate reward - really? One that YOU would want to have FOREVER?

Or, would merging with God be better? And, not having Foreverness! Is this promise of everlasting life - really so compelling if we don’t get to `leave our space’?

OR, would a more `humanish’ ending be more likely for a being of our overall consciousness level. After all, it’s not like we are chopped liver either. We are, seemingly, the most intelligent species in 100 Trillion miles - minimum. We have proposed theories which explain reality to moments after its very beginning. We are self-aware and know logic and emotion and symbol.

So, what if that means something like The Leslie Flint Tapes - which I’ve blogged about before in these very pages. If you are not aware of the tapes - they were seances conducted with the purpose to find out `day to day’ things about the afterlife. I urge you to research these tapes for they seem to provide what seems to be a very `truthful’ accounting for what `the afterlife’ might be like.

Give me your mind for just a bit longer.

What the various `reports’ from beyond suggest, is that `life’ is `similar’, but with changes over time.

At the beginning (of death’s life), one sees and meets with all the folks one knew in `life’ and seemingly - has `new’ relationships that build on the past experiences. But, with one twist, you won’t see the person as you knew them - supposedly - they will appear to you as the age THEY see themselves as - and that may be an age that you knew them at or not.

Yes, your dead grandmother might appear to be younger than you.

And, `things’ will change - as `time’ for your `soul-space’ goes onward.

The Leslie Flint Tapes suggest that as your `death-life’ experience goes onward - you will be less likely to use clothes and eventually - less likely to even eat. Indeed, your experience will be almost totally `self-motivated’ - with `places’ being less important - than `experiences’.

Meaning, the carpet layer will be laying carpets (perhaps with other carpet layers too). But, where the carpets are being laid - will not have a continuity with `being home’ - in the afterlife. YOU simply would `be home’ - without - the intervening `space’ of `places’ between - laying carpet and being home (after you were done laying carpet with the carpet layers like yourself).

If you remembered a particular person `that evening’ - You would BE with them. Immediately. Well, immediately, to YOU. (The other person might have a few to Trillions of experiences before mixing with your `next intentionality’. That said, I bet folks are at similar `busy levels’ in the afterlife - except if you were a Famous Person.)

As I said, time and place, in the ontological sense - will not be the most important attribute of actualization. Actualization will be based on intentionality’s and expectations. (Ontology will consist of missing space and missing time. But it will be unnoticeable after awhile.)

Finally, I’ve blogged this next idea before about the Leslie Flint Tapes - and that is - in the afterlife there supposedly are `enlightened ones’. How trippy is that? I repeat, in the afterlife there will be `entities’ `human entities’ who will tell you to worship this or that - to get to the `next level’ of existence.

What in the world are you going to make out of that?

Or, will you realize in your space after death - that - You are now, not even a body anymore - needing not to wear clothes, eat, and eventually, not even having a full body. Yes, eventually, one becomes essentially a `head space’ or yes - an idea of yourself.

Now, that is NOT to say that we all couldn’t have LOTS of fun for a long long time in this manner. But, eventually, even this limited ecstasy would become less than compelling. One might realize that `thousand year and million year’ entities are few and far between - all entities having `vanished’ in some manner. Eventually being `not able’ to respond to your intentionality’s any longer.

And, a realization that perhaps the `enlightened ones’ were right.

And, eventually, like the Dark Energy that is supposedly driving all matter apart - eventually isolating all space unto themselves.

And, having finally exhausted every `time’ for our individual space - every intentionality that we could ever imagine - we come to our individual end - thankful - that it did not go on forever.

But, ultimately, thankful for the Nothingness of Being.

Here’s a link to every post I’ve done here http://www.squidoo.com/theheavystuff#module2462278

Hello, and welcome back to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - a blog to bookmark if you want speculation into realities greatest mysteries. Today’s posting is an offshoot of THS’s  post earlier last month http://theheavystuff.com/?p=99 - having to do with just how strange the whole `ufo’ experience can be to an individual or even a group of individuals. It was in that post that THS speculated that occasionally, and perhaps often,  a  `UFO experience’ may involve `different types’ of entities.

THS, when mentioning different entity types,  wasn’t referring about the internet speculation (with some added  fantasy perhaps) that multiple alien races are here, permenantly,  in Earth’s biosphere and are probably interacting with humans (some say dozens of races). No, what THS was and is referring to  is `spaces’* (entities) which do not have an equal `basis’ of `common reality’ grounding - compared to a human. (Wordy, THS knows, but we will get much more specific in a bit.) Let THS attempt to explain:

[* Remember, much of the Phillips Phenomenology (PP) positions `space’ as a characteristic which must be actualized for an event to occur. The PP describes `different types of spaces’ - and where they occur.]

Type One - Aliens/Entities

(Real & Travel In Craft)

Type One Properties —> Real `physical’ alien - in the same manner that a human is `physical’ . A being with a birth, and, on-going, contiguous,  `space-time’ reality - rooted in our same human perceived outer reality that we as humans consider a  `common consensus’ - considered by all to be called our `real’** ontology. Type One Aliens are beings that do NOT exceed the speed of light for travel and are beings that travel by craft. They are beings that do not need to `become objective’ to reveal `their reality of space’. They would be beings as trapped in our common reality as we humans are.

**[In other words, if a class of 100 college biology students were asked in an auditorium classroom if any of them thought the lecture was a `being dreamed’ as opposed to being experienced while awake - all would KNOW it wasn’t a dreamstate. (Then again with college students who knows, right?)]

Comment - To humans at our 2009 level of consciousness, these Type One Aliens are the most real and `humanlike’  of all alien types. `They’ will probably have arms, legs, a head, be able to communicate with each other - etc - humanlike characteristics of which humans can identify. Nevertheless, `aliens’ of any sort are inherently scary to most humans, of course.

However, type one beings that travel `anywhere’ in the universe ONLY below the speed of light - can be assumed to be rare; very rare - in ANY one particular location, including Earth. That said, being very rare - in a near infinite universe - does not mean non-existent or impossible. Indeed, while of low probability to be at any one location in the universe - this would be the alien/entity type MOST likely to have an interest in living planets like Earth.

But, would such beings, Type One beings,  be so focused as `being here’ only in the last 60 years? (Or would it be another type of the four entity/alien choices THS will review?) Wouldn’t such type one beings be just as likely to have been here, around Earth, for at least the last few hundred million years? You know, coming and going at will over the millenia - perhaps staying on occasion for eons.

Could we really expect that more than a  handful would be `around’ in any given era like ours? (If they did `stick around’ how many `aliens’ would they need to have a sustainable population?) Could we really expect a huge increase within a short period of 60 years, that we seem to have experienced,  from beings that use  `moving craft’ in a `galaxy’ context? (If there has been such an increase in the last 60 years.)

Indeed, the idea of a sudden increase in `this type’ of alien - a type one alien/entity - just seems unlikely, logically. Why? Well, first, T1 beings living below the `light threshold’ would not even have knowledge of mans recent advancements - outside of a 60 year light cone. Could there really be a significant number of civilizations within 60 years that have humanlike entities that have crafts that go a significant % of the speed of light? And who would want to come HERE if they did have such `slow’ `interstellar’ craft? It simply seems unlikely.

———————–

All that stated, doesn’t it seem possible that a few - repeat, a few - species of aliens may be camped out semi-permanently on Earth or nearby planets (if they do have near light-speed craft)?It does to THS - but - at the same time - it also seems logical that there AREN’T - large numbers of different types. We can all quibble about what constitues a large number  within a 60 year radius or permanent level of visitation on all `live planets’ in the universe. (Meaning that other planets with planet and animal life would be just as likely as Earth to have monitoring `type one’ aliens.)

It might be a cool blog post to speculate `how many’ craftable alien civilazations might be within any given 100 mile light year `radius’? Why? Because if an entity had access to the universe `above’ the speed of light — there exists little reason to `limit’ oneself to the `local’ 60 light year light cone. Which leads us to the next logical type of entity:

Type Two - Aliens/Entities

(Real and Travel Without Craft)

Type Two Properties –> Real physical alien - in the same manner as a human is physical and the type one alien. A being with a birth and an on-going `space-time’ reality - rooted in a common consensus with similar beings on a planet with a real ontology - just like humans and type one aliens. Beings that can EXCEED the speed of light for travel and do NOT travel by `craft/structure’ in the strict sense of the word. Beings that `become objective’ to reveal their reality on Earth. (Obviously, the `how’ part of this is the `science’ side - or - `consciousness’ side — the esoteric aspect. On the science side, perhaps humans/aliens/beings can create machines that can be `stepped into’ and as the outcome - provide `bi-location’ for the `space identity’. On the consciousness side - perhaps some beings with intelligence on some planet somewhere have been able to develop - just thru `mind’ focus — an ability to travel the universe — and in essence - `plant’  their `space’ elsewhere/elsewhen. To THS, both of these `new location experiences’ - would seem to be within the rhelm of possibility if the concept of `dopplegangers’ is real. If there is a `space’ which can `be representative’ within `another reality’ (not connected by the light cone to the original now) - then the `doppleganger’ may be just the `vehicle’ needed. IT WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN THE MANY MANY TIMES THAT ALIENS HAVE BEEN SAID TO JUST `VANISH’. Because, it’s not really `their space’ that is here at all. It would be like having perception from an out of body experience taken to the 10th degree. Frankly, it, this explanation, would also account for the great variety of `beings’ - indeed, those of type two that are more rooted in `science’ travel — may be limited in the way that they can `appear’ based on some specific `programming’ - ones `space’ could appear as perhaps an animal or non-similar entity that was originating the `signal’.

Comment - To humans in 2009 at our collective consciousness levels - these `forms’ or alien/entities - are perhaps the most mysterious - as they seem to be possibly `more real’ than `more spiritual entites - like Type 3 & 4′ (which we will cover soon). WHY? Because things that seem totally solid, totally here - and then can vanish — does not fit our normal consensus reality. Is this how a Bigfoot can be within 20 feet of a human and compel that human to search to find a `real Bigfoot’ - again - for the rest of their lives? Or, how `beings’ or entities can come out of, or go into, a `glowing slot’ of space - as seen on the Bigelow Ranch.

Doesn’t it seem likely that many of the experiences that are described as paranormal are really an encounter with these `enhanced’ Type Two creatures? Doesn’t this really seem to describe much of what is taken to be UFO’s - speeding away at unbelievable’ speeds? Indeed, if we are ready to be honest as thinking humans - this type to alien - literally from a different world with a `common now’ (meaning the alien or entities world does exist as a planet within our timecone) and `common spaces’ to our Earth — seems to be the `main type of alien/entity’ that we as humans have encounters. That is, if we base the `population’ on the actual number of `high strangeness - close encounters’. (Certainly, there are more `lights in the sky’ stories. Remember, lights in the sky stories are a dime a dozen and could involve machines or crafts built by humans within the governments and militarys of the world.)

Key characteristic of Type Two alien/entity — `travel’ of being is accomplished by `structure’ of temporarily increased consciousness level or `increase’ in space bi-location via some `science’ methodology that enhances that ability of bi-locate. For the entity that `travels’ the travel is temporary and `not’ the `normal state’ for such a being.

Type Three - Aliens/Entities

(`Real’, Travel without Craft, Do NOT Live On Any `Planet’ Surface)

These beings are `real’ in `quotation marks’ - and do not appear `as real’ (solid - in a quantitative sense) as the many close up sightings of legendary creatures such as a Bigfoot (a Type Two creature). That said, they may be viewed as appearing in any `shape’ from an Orb to a `translucent’ or ghost like being — ie - an entity that doesn’t appear `solid’ - and appears to have a light basis. Somehow, a human that encounters such a `being’ `knows’ that it isn’t real in our normal sense — and furthermore - doesn’t seem to be able to have a `permanent time’ within our reality common consensus. These beings/aliens/entities seem to be operating on the energy from the local environment.

While it’s possible that these entities see `themselves’ in some on-going manner - it’s equally likely that - these entities have NO on-going consciousness of their own space. There is no reason that both types may be part of Type Three. But, even for `spaces/entities’ that see themselves in an on-going manner — it’s hard to believe that these `spaces’ were ever `born’ or that they `live’ on a planet. Indeed, these type of `spaces’ seem `very local’ and very temporal - probably distorting the very localness and temporalness of common consensus that humans live within on Earth.

Indeed, these seem to be the creatures of `our own making’ - mythology -  and iconic shapes and feelings - that can form into temporary `translucent’ type of `solids’. The land of angels as a possible origin for this type of entity also. For, if these are not `super-local’ specialized consensus events, then - they must be `timeless’ beings that permeate everything. These are the `Godlike’ `guardian’ type entities that Mr. Bledsoe reported (my recent post covers this - http://theheavystuff.com  - and that many many people have reported over the years). Likewise, Mr. Bledsoe also reported entities (translucent) with glowing red eyes — this also would be a Type Three entity.

These type three entities are perhaps the most frightening to humans (with good reason) — as they appear to be powerful `locally’. These spaces seem to be part of the human condition encountered by only a few. The limited number of `possessions’ would seem to fall into this category in general. Entities `built’ by the dilemma of the human condition of needing to embrace despair.

Type Four - Aliens/Entities

(`Real’, Travel without Craft, Human based - alive and dead)

This type of entity is very similar to Type Three except that it has a `singular human’ basis - either `prior’ or `current’ - as opposed to Type Three being a more `common consensus space’ with energy generally supplied by living humans. Indeed, Type Four entities could often be thought of as Ghosts or in the most extreme rare circumstance `a real doppelganger’. These entities would tend to visit or at least be most perceivable to  humans or places they `knew’ when alive.

While poltergeist events can be scary - often `visits’ from these entities are spiritually uplifting and not frightening. And, unless `called’ these entities seem to be short lived and infrequent to often being a just `one time showing’ after death - to a loved one — and often only in a symbolic manner or in a dreamstate.

Nevertheless, most humans consider the Type Four entity to be real and of our very essence - even beyond our own humanness. Indeed, type four entities give the human race hope that we are more than just our physical bones - and thoughts - and that we too - may be connected to the entities of our universe that can travel.

Recently I had this link  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=469849&in_page_id=1879      on  my Aug. 6th posting in my www.squidoo.com/anomalymanlens (squidoo.com hosts free one page websites) - in summary, it’s about a man who became obsessed with the `glowing white orbs’ that sometimes can be seen in everyday photographs. The article goes into painstaking detail about how the gentleman became obsessed with the white dots and the methodology he used to `prove’ that orbs even had `characteristics’ - including the ability to be `called’ into a photo - and - only `appearing’ on one of two camera shots taken simultaneously. (Some say that UFO’s can be called even.) The Heavy Stuff thinks that this man makes a convincing case that `some space with intelligence’ is displaying itself to the camera shutter. But, is that intelligence that of a dead human? Please - make sure to read the story via my Anomalies, Paranormal and Mind Perceptions `lens’ hosted on Squidoo.com. and then return for the rest of the heavy thoughts.

Welcome back. Now that you have read about this mans impressive efforts to pin down the `orbs’ seen in pictures - I want to bring the discussion again to the various `proofs’ I have been blogging about concerning the survival of `death’ and the way that phenomena is being `expressed’ and then `recorded’ by our `science-technology’ of today - such as tape recorders, cameras and video cameras. After all, all that mankind is desiring is for `some aspect’ of our `life’ to continue - after death. If even a smidgen of `space’ that we have in life continues - and that smidgen of `space’ can be proven in some manner - then the science of today’s technology may go a long way to calm the seeking mind regarding one of the biggest personal issues in reality.

Indeed, what seems to be happening, to those with an open mind about these various phenomena that the Heavy Stuff has been blogging about, is that `some communication’ between the `living’ and the `dead’ is able to occur — and it seems that the direct event-horizon between the two spheres - can be influenced by intentionality’s from `both sides’. Let me summarized what I am trying to express.

First, `the findings’ suggest a range of how much `intentionalities’ matter. From our living side - the `recorder’ can be as impartial as the junkyard video security camera picking up a `ghost’ coming to `look’ at the car one died in that same evening. (As readers know, I have blogged about such a video and the video can be seen at www.squidoo.com/theheavystuff) The video camera is simply recording the `space-time’ it actualizes/records — the wrecker yard ghost is not intentionally `performing’ for the camera to show `life in the great beyond’. It is simply an event-horizon `event’ that is accessible to a passive recording device. And, as readers of the Heavy Stuff know — the same can be said of `ghosts’ that show up in humanish form in photographs - an event that has happened many times over the last two centuries. However, this photographic event - seems to have `some’ intentionality from `the other side’ being-space. After all, they DO have to get into position for the photograph and `display an identifiable human space’ for recording. And, we also know that the same `unintentional’ pick up of human spaces with voice capability seems to happen on blank tapes at times called EVP. (It could be said again that EVP may involve intentionality from the other side.)

But, we also know that each of these seemingly `random’ contact events from the `other side’ seem to be able to be `forced’ to occur at a level far more than chance events would allow.  I’ve blogged here already about Harry Houdini’s coded message for his wife that he seemed to be able to `get thru’ during sittings with mediums that were conducted and  specifically called for that very reason - the very definition of an intentionality. And, firm intentionality’s on both sides were able to impart specific pre-agreed upon information from the other side to our side. There was belief on both sides that the effort-intentionality’s would succeed.

I’ve also blogged about the Leslie Flint recordings during which `voices’ of the dead `came thru’ — once again to a medium in a setting –`expecting contact and expecting information’. In this instance the Leslie Flint recordings were made for the the `space-intentionality’s of the other side’ to come thru to indicate and  voice `how’ the afterlife was `for them - for their specific space’. Much of the information that these `dead persons’ `said’ was how the afterlife is a state of mind and similar like minds- and that each state is a different `level’ - with further development of ones state of mind possible (even in the afterlife). IF true, it sounds a bit like what the eastern religions have been saying for centuries. (Would those in the afterlife LIE about conditions there? - Naw. LOL.)

That said, if you listen to the tapes - and I highly recommend it - the `dead’ beings indicated they were `still human’ - still looked human (but saw some folks they knew at ages they were surprised to see the person represented as being - meaning - one might know someone into their 60’s - they die - you see them in the afterlife as who they were when they were 20 - and you don’t recognize them at first). They also indicated that they still did `Earthly things’ - such as the bricklayer who still worked with bricks `just as real bricks as on your side’ and built things that people wanted - and this was done with other `dead’ bricklayers who the subject might have known or not known on earth. Somehow, our remaining `space’ after we die can `create’ or experience this full range of `doing’ the intentionality’s we often did on earth while living. Lighting up those fibers of existence so to speak.

And, I’ve also blogged about the extraordinary `events’ of the Ghosts of Flight 401. In these events — those from the other side, the pilots, were evidently able to `project’ that `dead virtual-space’ into the real reality we all agree upon does NOT include dead spaces. In essence, REAL GHOSTS, with full perceivable spaces - in the event-horizon ——– that, as described by witnesses - disappeared in a `pop of light’ - literally vanishing in front of alive folks eyes. Unfortunately, these events of the pilots of flight 401 were not recorded on film.

To The Heavy Stuff, it does not take a great leap of intellect to see the possible connection between the `spaces’ of the pilots that `re-appeared’ and the occasionally recorded instances of a doppelganger. Indeed, doppelganger’s seem to be the same entity but in reverse - a ghostly form of a living person. To think that the doppelganger is the same virtual-space-identity after we die - is not a big leap of intellect either. Could we all be exploring the real reality right now with our virtual space within the doppelganger we all have? Could we take the representation of our space `elsewhere’ such as the reports of `remote viewing’? Would our living doppelganger be the `lucid body’ we have during lucid dreaming? Where does this virtual space that the living have - come from? Is it already a part of our real space — that isn’t part of the real reality to begin with?

Remember how the Heavy Stuff has talked about `spaces’ within the Heavy Stuff’s ideas on phenomenology? The Heavy Stuff’s position is that `our personal space’ — the real one that has a duration and `runs off’ with our appearance of space to other spaces — is NOT part of the `run off’ of appearances. Our real space is NOW only to us -  the space of our appearance is PAST (to us - in our real space) just as all other spaces (people, pencils, bedpans, etc) are PAST to us (as it takes time for the light that bounces off their real space to reach our eyes/perception). The Heavy Stuff goes further and posits that `space-itselfs’ main attribute is that `it’ `space’ is NOT ABLE TO BE. It is that attribute, sequentially, that describes `what space IS’. All we living folk hope for - for us to continue into the `afterlife’ - is for our own NOT ABLE TO BE to continue at some level. From our own space is where we will find our perception ability and continued intentionality’s.

But, events such as a doppelganger or the `real ghosts’ of flight 401 are extraordinarily rare - to the point of being only anecdotal - but represent, perhaps just what may be ultimately possible for `spaces’ that still have an identity with a specific human form-space. Indeed, it is nearly certain that the virtual-space we have after death is quite small - virtually unseeable perhaps to the naked eye - perhaps nothing more than a `real’ virtual particle. Perhaps just part of the virtual spaces that are all around us and are a significant part of the real reality in which we living spaces reside.

 And, once again, as I have blogged before, these `virtual-spaces outside of reality’s consensus’ somehow actualize when recorded via devices such as cameras and recording tapes.

It’s important to remember that estimates by science are that 60-120 billion humans have lived and died on earth since mankinds rise - if we have a virtual space after death - some of those billions may still be hanging around humans even today. Indeed, while pure speculation - I have a new link of a video on the internet, again on my anomalies site, of an ORBlike light coming out of a babies mouth (seeable thru the camera’s eyepiece too). Could that be the way a soul enters a body? Could a body be-have a number of `souls’? Or, is that just the freedom that might exist for orbs - free to go anywhere.

Perhaps orbs are the few beings that die that have transcended the `material state of minds’ that is the virtual afterlife for most spaces. Perhaps orbs are conscious spaces that have intentionality’s or can be influenced by intentionality’s of living spaces. Influenced to perhaps show up in pictures, strangely. To communicate that the orb space is not a film miscue but a real entity with continued space. Joyously dancing in the development of the film - to communicate that `our space’ - the part of us that has always been - NOT ABLE TO BE - continues - at least at some level - and with some level of intelligence.

As most of you know, this website often features the links I have on my Anomalies lens. You can find the link to my site under my side blogroll `Anomalies, Paranormal, and Mind Perceptions - please visit to find this link and more -  http://www.leslieflint.com./transcripts_chinese.html. The above link is to an amazing amazing website that I can’t recommend more highly. It has the miraculous. It has numerous `direct voice communications’ from the dead recorded from the mid 1950’s to the 70’s. While I will let you use the link to the site to find all it has to offer (which is an amazing list of the highlights of the tape recordings) - I will briefly summarize my take on it. 

Basically,  in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and until the early 70’s, a group of researchers tried to take a direct approach to the dead — literally asking them to speak aloud in a occult type setting - begging any spirit to speak and identify themselves. They beckoned these spirits with the enticement that they were recording the `spirit’ with a purpose to explain what the afterlife is like. An incredible variety of folks `came thru’ and were recorded - and they tell what the `afterlife’ is like in astounding detail.

Additionally, as I mentioned, the website features the `heaviest’ words of wisdom of each of the spirits that came thru. It’s an amazing variety of esoteric thought. The link I have above was from a Chinese wise-man of ancient times — and indeed — you will find that what he has to say is profound and seems to come from another advanced consciousness level IMO (in my opinion).

An example of the characters who came thru - such as Bimbo the Clown — who enlightens us with esoteric ideas such as  `we can’t escape ourselves’ and `the animals here aren’t in cages’ (I listened to the entire Bimbo recording - a must listen.). Bimbo had many things to say about humor and circus folk too - all insightful. Really. I also fully listened to a bricklayer and even a dead spirit who answered if UFO’s were from other planets. Again, the best link to this site was posted on my Squidoo lens on June 12th (easy to find on my one page lens).

All these recordings will make you think and describe in amazing detail what continued existence may be like for a consciousness.  And, are these direct voice recordings any different, really, than the EVP recordings of the last couple decades or so? (Except better.) It’s a distinction without much merit to me. Each method beckons or records the `unknown human consciousness’ for a `sign of information transfer’ into the present.

Also, if you are a reader of The Heavy Stuff — you know I’ve tackled the `Ghost’ `issue (afterlife and afterlife communication issue) before — whether the Ghosts of Flight 401(who also spoke out-loud after `appearing’ in a `real present’) or the 4 Ghost videos I have linked to in a previous post that can still be found at my lens squidoo.com/theheavystuff. I’ve also blogged about how Houdini seems to have been able to get a message thru from the great beyond into the `real reality we all experience’. Houdini’s message was even in `code’ to make sure the message couldn’t be faked. Like the direct voice recordings, it also was `delivered’ in an occult type setting to `believers’ in communication with the dead - who were probing for SPECIFIC INFORMATION/knowledge.

I trust that I’ve made a case that these are all similar phenomena in a broad sense. But as you know, this blog’s interest is in examining the phenomenology of these anomalies. Just `where’ does this information, voices or even ghosts with voices `come from’? And, once again, what does it indicate about `our space’ in the afterlife if this information is to be believed?

I guess the first thing it indicates about dead humans is that - we still have a space - our space - the one space with OUR one now. The one space that was NEVER part of the `reality structure’ to begin with - even in life. (See my last blog post about freewill vs determinism in humans). The one space and only space that was NOW to us. The one space that contained our intentionality’s - and also - our freewill.

In essence, with death we leave our `time in consensus projected space’ behind — in our body. The time-space we always `projected’ onto `our reality’ of other close objects. Other close `spaces’ - like everything in your field of vision that IS something. And, with death, we would move into - in essence — our remaining personal space - probably called the spirit by many. A personal space with one HUGE connection with real reality — THE NOW - THE NOT ABLE TO NOT BE. The `determined time’ of spaces.

For those readers who are still pushing for some speculation as to `where’ these NOW’s really are — I will explore some possibilities in part 2. Do you think the answer might be similar to `where is cyber-space’? Stay TUNED. And, thanks for reading - leave a comment.

Recently on my Squidoo lens (website) at www.squidoo.com/anomalymanI carried the link found elsewhere on the web about the research study which attempted to find out if common fruit flies had `freewill’ - or - did they `act’ `randomly’. They conducted this research by gluing the fruit fly to a copper wire that left it `free’ to beat its wings. The fruit fly was then immersed in an all white environment which was`free’ of `cues’. The scientists were trying to determine if the beats of the fruit flies wings were `random’ within this environment which had `no cues’ — or — did the beating of the wings, which yields a `direction’ for the fruit fly - result from something other than random movement.

While I will have the link to the story at the bottom of this post (or you can go to my Squidoo site) — the results indicated the fruit flies had something between `freewill’ and `determinism’. (It quibbled about whether the `pattern of movement - which was similar to an algorithm’ qualified as real intentionality.)  But then it seemed the study then concluded that any freewill was `freewill’ - and even if limited, the fruitfly had it. And therefore so did humans the research seemed to extrapolate. Hmm. How nice. I wonder how many would have read the article if it had said humans had no freewill.

Interestingly, the article did spend some time talking about the freewill vs determinism `issue’ of philosophy — a rarity in today’s dumbdown media positioning of avoiding anything `too heavy’. But, as you know, HEAVY is this blog’s middle name — and freewill and determinism qualifies as topic material. It also goes right into the area my mind likes to explore — phenomenology. That’s right, the stuff of Edmund Husserl and others. To me, combining the ideas of 1910 phenomenology and just the basic of physics known today, seems to point to at least a way to grapple with the freewill vs determinism issue. IF it really is an issue.

My hope is that readers of The Heavy Stuff are at least familiar with the basics of phenomenology - but if not - one dictionary definition is:

• the study of the development of human consciousness and self-awareness as a preface to philosophy or a part of a philosophy
• a philosophical movement that describes the formal structure of the objects of awareness and of awareness itself in abstraction from any claims concerning existence

How’s that for heavy? All I can say is that Phenomenology has been the heaviest idea I’ve ever encountered. In addition to that, amazingly, I’ve had my own phenomenology ideas before I encountered Husserl’s works in 1975 or so. But, all that is for another post — this post is about freewill and determinism ——- and  — The Heavy Stuff’s as always unique take on the issue. READY? Get that mind open now, breathe deep, use what you have and do what you have  to do to  arrive at an altered state to receive this phenomenology take/positioning  on one of mankind’s intellectual issues.

Here the idea is. Ordinary physics tells us about `how’ humans `gather’ our information to even perceive the reality around us. First, we as a human being, have a `space’ which is us. Me. You. A space. A group of atoms organized by DNA to represent a human and all the characteristics of a specific human `space’. This `space’ (our body) has a relationship to `other spaces’. The computer we sit in front of - the garbage can in the kitchen - the trees outside. Even the locust in the tree. Even to the sounds from a train whistle.

Those other `spaces’, those other `things’ — `are representations of their actual now a `moment ago” — THEY are NOT in OUR `space-now’. The `light’ from `where their space is’ travels to our perception. THEIR space that we see has already occured and THEY are actually IN another `space’ - of which will travel to our perception too. What this means my dear readers is that `the space we see is DETERMINED’. Even the `space’ we see that is OUR OWN body - is DETERMINED. The nature of consciousness is that we can only be aware of things that have been determined. And are therefore `past’ things in comparison to our `now placed-spaced consciousness’.

Does that mean that we all need to `embrace despair’ as suggested by J.C. Pierce in his 1970’s books on `The Crack Of The Cosmic Egg’? No, not at all. The fact that `the space we see has been determined’ does NOT mean we `didn’t participate in THAT SPACE’. Indeed, not only did we participate in that space —- OUR `real now space’ — ISN”T even a part of it — we exist in a `real space’ which has our intentionality and duration exclusively.

It’s this `real space’ that we possess - that has our `freewill’ NOT the `space’ we `project’ onto `others spaces’. What we need to grasp as human beings or what any space needs to grasp as a being with life in reality - is that we can `change’ our `relationship’ (the `next’ actual space location) to any space — by moving our actual space. And, we do THAT in OUR `space’ with our intentionality’s - and freewill that has NOTHING to do with other spaces.

The Heavy Stuff positioning on this philosophical issue is —- Every Space Becomes A Time Point For Other Spaces.

The link to the article directly is http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18684016/ – and, just to ask, if fruit flies have freewill, should they be glued to copper while alive? Just kidding. Thanks for reading, leave a comment — and hey, I’ve got the best of the links of 2006 on www.squidoo.com/anomalyman2006.

Lately, I’ve offered two posts about the relationship between `dead spaces’ (dead human spirits) and the real `reality’ of `time-space’? Specifically, I offered my speculation that the `light’ seen by so many at the time of NDE is our SUN - yes, the star 93 million miles away. I speculated that `life after death’ may be short-lived — for most beings/souls — and that nearly all human consciousnesses end up in the sun. But, that stated, `life’ would indeed extend beyond the body and beyond the normal scope of what we consider the time-space of ‘real’ (at least our ability to interact with it). Additionally, I expressed the view that some `dead spaces’ or `ghosts’ don’t go to the sun but do remain `alive’ on Earth for a limited time-frame. Their `dead space’ going on — which equals - life after death; for at least a few and especially right after death.

My next post related to The Ghosts of Flight 401 — see below for that post in its entirety, but, in a nutshell — it appears that `some’ `dead spaces’ can project their appearance into the `real’ reality structure. Evidently. Again, in summary, the dead pilots from the crashed jet were spotted on jets which had their re-cycled parts used from the salvage of the crashed jet. These `dead’ pilots claimed outloud to have an `intention’ to keep the L-1011’s safe from then onward. The events with the pilots happened multiple times -and multiple times - their `appearance space’ vanished in an `instant of time’ (an instant of space perhaps) before multiple witnesses - both witnesses that knew them while alive and those that never knew them.

These `appearances’ would suggest that `intentionality’ can even project into space-time, perhaps for years or even for an indefinite time-frame (until a task is completed)——– and, that one (ghosts) still had intentionality `while dead’ — at least if one (while dead) is hanging around the space of the Earth. And, doesn’t get swept up in the marvels of the universe from a `free space’ condition.

But, that brings us to Houdini - and the legend of his `escape’ from death - back to the `living’. I have the link on my squidoo site directly — and it’s under the Great Anomaly Stories Section (easy to find) - at www.squidoo.com/anomalyman  or you can copy and paste the link directly — but — come right back.   Here’s that other site — same story — survivalafterdeath.org/articles/ford/houdini.htm remember to put in the www - (I prefer you become familiar with my site anomalyman)

Now that you are familiar with the story-legend — let me provide the important summary points as I see them. #1 — `Time’ existed (exists) on `the other side’; twice the period it takes to get the `message thru’ is noted, each time several months. Additionally, the `dead spaces’ (Houdini and his mother) seem to indicate that a few months seems like a long time-frame of effort - then again, that could be my just my read of the words.

Nevertheless, the `dead spaces’ (Ghosts) had `time’ within which they existed (interestingly, nothing else about their other existence is noted except for the intent of getting this message thru as `proof of survival’. (Could we survive as nothing but intentionality’s?)

Now, many folks would go the extra mile to make up proof of survival — but for Houdini - he was the opposite, a total debunker of the afterlife. If this story is to be accepted as `truth-proof’ at least it isn’t from a lifelong proponent of `heaven’. (I will note that no images of heaven seem to be in Houdini’s explanations of the other side either — just a determination and intentionality of spirit.) Once again, this feeling of sameness exists with  the Ghosts of Flight 401 intentionality’s surviving for a mission and Houdini’s intentionality’s surviving for a mission. Are future intentionality’s the  link?

Seemingly, the phenomenology of space-time `bends’ to provide projection of information (intentions) or, rarely, even `appearances’ from `beyond’ within the `real’ consensus of the moment-to-moment reality. Whether caught on tape (see my squidoo.com March 16th ghost videos) or by the real human naked eye.

It’s also easy to draw this comparison to even `second comings’ — be them a few days after death — or much later based on actualizing some long promised intentionality (especially helps if one believes? or society believes?) I’ll leave the rest of that speculation for some other time.

There is only one other possible speculation, for me, that provides a real chance that Houdini wasn’t involved (nor his mother) in `getting his double coded message thru’ — and that would be that Arthur Ford — (as Fletcher) was indeed a mind-reader and got the info from Mrs Houdini’s mind. And, while I’m not saying that is the answer — I’d have to give it at least a real 20% chance if I were to bet on the outcome of that - or 80% - to the chance that Houdini proved to be the `Ultimate Escape Artist Ever - Even Escaping Death’.
