1.  I WONDER

I have often wondered if we live one life as a practice for another -like a rehearsal. Of course, it does require accepting reincarnation as a fact. Something I take for granted, since I am one of those who spontaneously started to remember many of my other Lifetimes.
I know we live many lives, but not all of them are of equal importance. We may well use nine (the number is arbitrary) as a rehearsal for the tenth life, because the tenth life is to have an effect on many people, even a country, a planet or a specie. Not that the first nine are unimportant compared to the tenth, each one may teach valuable knowledge that will be required in the tenth life.
Neither does it mean that the Future is Pre-Ordained. The lives chosen may be picked according to trends and events based on previous experiences and an estimation of probabilities.
The effect of unconscious remembered knowledge from Past or Future events is not readily recognized in most people, on the average. But, often show up in one group, the profession that actors and performers belong to, male and female. It may appear in other professions, but the people in the Performing Arts are more visible than most people. It happened more than once that one particular role, an actor play, takes on a life of its own. That role fit the performer so well, it appear that he/she is living or re-living their own life (be it Past or Future). Sometime that particular role fits the performer so well, that no matter what other roles he/she plays, it appears that Role (and not the actor) is play-acting other roles. That particular performer and that role has become one, sometime so much so that it has ruined the performer's career; because nobody is able to separate the Role and the Performer as individual entities.
I do not think the people it happened to are aware of why such a thing happens, nor do people in general: They call it Type-Casting. I wonder, and think there is a lot more to the phenomenon than that. Many times a play, movie or a TV show will be much more that just entertainment, it will spur a civilization and a species into to the Future; like Star Trek, Star Trek; New Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

2. THE CHANGING TIMES

Have you noticed that some people always seems to be out of step with society they live in, either they are ahead or behind the Times.
A case in point is my Grandmother. My Father was 14 years of age when my grandmother had made him a pair of pants out of material that was olive-green velour with purple flowers, that in the present would not have made anyone bat an eye, but was not exactly the fashion for boys in 1926. But, my father wore the pants anyway and I am sure he got some sly remarks from his cohorts. He never said what the remarks were, but they must have been memorable for he never tired of telling us kids about his purple flowered pants every time we complained about our clothes. I am sure it was not the only thing my grandmother put him through, and maybe already at 14 my Grandmother's eccentric ways had already influenced my father's taste and it followed him the rest of his life. When he hit his 60th birthday, he went out and bought himself a pair of light blue pants with silver button up the sides.
He was right up with the times regardless of his age, but not so my grandmother. When I was a child I remember my Grandmother being very energetic, she grew her own vegetable and fruit, canned everything and made juice and fruit for the Winter in re-usable glass-jars and bottles; made jam out of Rosehips, with which she force-fed us kids to insure that we got enough vitamin C in the winter. This was long before vitamin and orange juice was readily available everywhere and before people were into health food and vitamins, but she knew a way around the old remedies and what they were good for. My Grandmother also re-cycled everything, never threw anything out before it had been used many times. In addition, she did her own composting for new soil and fertilizer. I watched her do all these things throughout the 1940s, 1950s and the 1960s. Because of the times and her actions, she was considered weird, eccentric and stingy. Today in the 1990s and onward, she would be considered an Ecologist. Poor Grandmother, she did not live long enough for society and the times to catch up with her and see her vindicated.
The question is why was she so out of date? I think I figured out why and when this happened, it started where Entities are re-assigned to a new body-planet-lifetime. A giant Computer somewhere in this Universe and working outside the Time-Phase, an energy device so sophisticated that it makes our computer looks like they are less than an Abacus. Such a device is necessary to remember and keep track of everything that is going on in our Universe. It is a very advanced device, but still it is a Computer and we, who works with computers, know that even the most sophisticated can occasionally have glitches. And, that is what I think happened to my Grandmother -Computer error. I can see her sitting there and interacting with the Computer about her next assignment. That her assignment would be primarily as an Ecologist, to help with teaching others about living within the environment, even if it was just being an example and in doing so, help save a planet. Together, they figured out the perfect year for her to be born was in 1983.
However, a small error in a Computer Program of just one point may in planet years turn out to be a long time. That glitch occurred and instead of my Grandmother being born in 1983, she turned up in 1883 and she spent the next 87 years being totally out of step with everyone and everything. But, it did make her a most interesting Grandmother to know and I am sure that she spent some time after leaving here telling a certain Computer what it could do with its glitches and in a precise language, but with a very lady-like manner.

3.  SIDE-EFFECTS

Did you know that since 1945 every new generation is slightly bigger that the last one, on the average. Now, that is not anything new, the human specie has been growing in size as nutritional and health practices improved, but it took Centuries. It is the speeded-up rate of growing that is of concern. Not that everyone is growing equally; there seem to be an environmental facture over the genetic possibilities. United States, the Soviet Union and Japan are the countries where the increase in size is most apparent. The clothing manufacturers have noted the increase and have upgraded their standard sizing measure for men and women. What was once large is now a medium, a medium has changed to small and so on, while others have down-sized their clothes, so everyone seem to be overweight, in general the sizing of clothes is in chaos, no one seem to be using the same measuring stick. In shoes, the picture is much clearer, it appears that everyone shoe size is increasing. The average women shoe sizes used to be 5-6-7, in the 1990s it is size 7-8-9 shoes that most women wear. Men's sizes have also changes from sizes 8-9-10 to 11-12-13 and over, even size 14-15-16 is not unusual anymore. Such a drastic increase means that it is not just more muscle and tissue, but an increase in the size of the human skeleton structure.
That change in itself is nothing to be concerned about if it was not for the old tales from sources such as the Aesirs Myth, Indian Veda and the Bible, among others. The all tell of the same tale about the fight between the 'Gods' with weapon so terrible that effects should never be forgotten. The description of those weapons does make one think of Nuclear Warfare and it was in those stories from just before, during and after the 'Gods' warfare that they started to mention about there "being Giants in those days." One cannot help wondering help wondering if that Gigantism, in the Past, was caused by an increase in radiation of various types in the environment, above what was already present from all natural causes. Because, in the present, the latter days of the Twentieth Century and the beginning of the Twentieth-first Century, the increase in human stature was first noticed in the three countries (USA, USR and Japan), these are the countries that were most exposed to fallout from Nuclear Testing, with the exception of Japan which was exposed to the fallout from two Nuclear bombs. Thus, their population was exposed sooner and to a stronger measure of Nuclear Radiation than the rest of the world population. They are also the ones, among the worlds population, which shows the largest increase in stature and bone structure. However, now the Nuclear Radiation has entered the world's weather pattern and everyone on Earth has been exposed the increase, but not all to an equal degree. Nuclear Radiation Hot Spots still exist. In accidental exposure like those people the Soviet Union (Chernobyl 1986), the ones who was subjected to too much radiation died, and no one knows the long term effects of low grade radiation exposure of various types, apart from certain types of cancers, which seem to be occurring in epidemic proportions. Today the world is catching up to the increase in sizes of the three fore-mentioned countries.
Does this increase in body size of the world population follow the increase in the background radiation? A Background radiation, which is now much higher that can be counted for from all natural sources, a radiation that will continue to increase as long as Nuclear Testing is being done, even barring any more accident from Nuclear Power Plants.
What really bothers me is the second part of those old tales about the Giants of the Past. The stories tell that they kept on growing and in the end they all went mad and died. But, before they died, they went to war with the smaller human, the ones that had not grown to their size. We are lucky that the smaller humans (our ancestors) won that fight. It is written that the Giant that was not killed, totally degenerated and died from what appeared, in the writings, as a description of disintegration of brain-matter.
The question I cannot help asking; "what if most of the Earth's population has already been exposed to enough radiation that the seeds to Gigantism are in our genes and each generation will get larger and larger until the Giants of Old have re-appeared. And, this time will there be any survivors?


4. IMMUNITY

By Doctors and Scientists' estimation that already in 1990s there were over 100.000 people suffering from a condition know as "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." It has been called by other names, but the above is most widely know and we are not sure all the Syndrome are the same, but they are all likely related. Today (2008), "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has not abated, in the USA it is estimated as being between 4 and 265 people per 100.000 suffers from it, others say it is 5% of the population, which is 210 people per 100.000. This would loosely make, world-wide, 2 Million 400.000 thousand on the low end and up to 6 Million 300.000 thousand people suffering from "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the related Syndromes. However, some people say the count is even higher, that as many as 10 million people, in North America alone, suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Doctors and Scientist have not yet discovered the cause, but all agree it is likely a virus or multi-viruses (one scientist in England believe it is a retro-virus). They also agree that the syndrome is beginning to take on epidemic proportion, but little is spoken about that part. Because of the viral aspect, there is no cure; each person must find the best way they can to deal with the problem. Of course, it is better now that it has been accepted to be a physical condition, earlier most people were told that there was nothing wrong with them; the implication was that it was all in their heads.
The first thing that happens to a suffer of "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" is that he/she gets removed from the society they live in; from their work, from their play, from their friends, from their family and from school. Yes, from school, young children are among the ill, age has no bearing on this disease. Because, among the symptoms, the most prevalent is the terrible total exhaustive tiredness; it is this lack of energy the effectively removes one from the 'Rat-Race.'
For most of the afflicted, this removal has lasted from two to ten years, some of them may never return to normal again. However, after a while I found the illness brought more than just physical changes, because, we with this condition, learned to live very simply and of necessity on very little money. Having a roof over one head and a full stomach was of primary importance. Being able to take a short walk or go shopping without afterwards having to spend one or two days in bed was a major accomplishment. After a while, I find that what is valued by most of Society in no longer of any importance to us; great wealth, fame or prestige appears to us as being greatly overinflated. For example, not too long ago, one small painting was sold, at an auction, for 80 Million dollars. That is enough to feed a small third-world country for over a 100 years.
Most of us have found that this illness has also had profound effect on our minds and belief systems and most of us will never be able to go back to our former life-style even after we have become well again. I have come to the conclusion that if the Seers and Psychics are correct in their predictions of the coming world shift (2012), and the changes that have occurred in the last 20 years, then "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" is much more than an illness; it is a vaccination that affect Immunity against meaningless values and over-inflated materialism; the forerunner symptoms of things to come, a beginning of the Transformation/Mutation of Mankind.
We will survive the coming changes a lot easier than others who suddenly finds all of Societies conventional valued removed; this could happened if the world's economy collapses. Many people would or could not survive if the world they understood and their material possessions became valueless. Such people are the same types, who have difficulty with just retiring from their work and a lifetime of fixed values and habits. These are the people whose are names one can find in the Obituary Pages of any newspaper, they do not last long after retirement; they spend a lifetime believing they are what they do, rather than being who they are.
Since our world seems to be changing drastically, I must question the appearance of "The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome;" is it just a remarkable coincidence or is there something more to our world than we are not aware off, and I do not believe in coincidences. And. Who is really in charge of this planet Earth and Homo Sapiens?

5.  THE STRANGENESS OF MINDS

Have you noticed that there is something strange about the way some people process information lately, like in the last 60 years, from about 1950s to 2008. Most of the time it is not noticed and on the surface it appears that we all live in the same world. Of course, we are aware of that we live in different countries, societies, culture and religions. But, it goes way beyond those differences, because we are aware of them. The real strangeness shows up when people must process unusual information; the more unusual the information, the stranger the reaction of people. This was not so in the past, for as long as human history goes back, that we can remember, two of the most universal trait of humanity is "Fear of the Unknown" and "Fear of Strangers" (something Alien) and this do not have to be off the Planet strangers. So, if everybody would react fearful to the phenomenon of UFOs that would be understandable, but not the range of diverse reactions that the whole subject of UFOs produces. The UFO information is received with various degrees of rationality and irrationality. This reaction can be divided into 8 distinct groups:

Group 1.  The Majority of Humanity:

Most of the human population belongs to this group, and they are split into two points of view. Half of them believe that UFOs are real and the other half thinks they are not real: And, after that thought, both groups dismiss the whole thing from their minds and don't really think about it at all.

Group 2.  Religious Fervour:

They possess a total religious view of UFOs; a view that range from Space-Brother and Sisters, to Angels and Saviors of all of Mankind's troubles. Fear is absent.


Group 3.  Debunkers:

They are the super fearful group. The whole idea of Aliens and Alien that may be more advanced than humanity, this they find too threatening to their sense of reality that they will ridicule and deride anyone with opinions that differ with their point of view of the Universe. Because of this fear, they often go too far and wander into irrationality that they forget logic, objective scientific observation and common sense. One wonders why they are protesting so much against the reality that UFOs could exist; especially against something they say "do not exist."


Group 4.  The Total Disbelievers:

This group do not believe anything that is not part of their daily life and within their familiar circle. One example, I had an Aunt (now deceased), who totally disbelieved, not only in UFOs, but also the fact that human spacecrafts have landed on the Moon. She firmly believed it was just a movie shown on TV and anyone that who said otherwise is lying.

Group 5.  Governments:

To this group belong not just the Governments of our country, but the Governments of all the countries on the planet Earth. This group is split into two sections;

a. UFOs do not exist, and the UFO sightings have been identified and explained. They fervently believe that there has been no cover-up

b. Agree that something is not correct. Can see that some information does not match, it is not logical as if some sequences are missing. Some of them are also aware that some persons seem to be unable to retain some information of the unusual kind; it appears to slither* out of their mind. This implies that the cover-up may not be intentional. This may also show that the person(s) who know the real info about UFOs may only be a very small group.

Group 6.  The World's Scientists:

They, like the Governments are split into two groups of which one seem to be actively engaged in mud-slinging;

a.  This group firmly believes that the whole thing is sheer nonsense. We are alone in the Universe, because THEY have never found any sign of Aliens. If old and new found information do into fit into the accepted picture of how they see Reality and the Universe, it is discarded as void and/or as non-existing.

b.  These Scientist knows that something in our world do not fit into the prevailing beliefs about reality. Many agree that a great deal of assumptions that our Reality is based on is false, at best inaccurate. But, many are afraid of speaking up; others that have spoken up have been sentenced to the fringe areas and labeled Crackpots, Kooks and Weirdoes. A very large number of the latter group have often been accused of practicing pseudo-science from the people belonging to Group a.; even when both Groups have the same educational background and credentials.

Group 7.  UFO Investigators:

Their reaction shows a variety of emotions, but on the whole very logical. Many of them have reacted, oddly enough; the way Investigator-Journalists would react to a good story. They have been quite objective and methodological in their examination of the evidence. On the whole they have reacted the way we (the people of Earth) had expected our Scientists and Governments would and should have reacted in 'Facing the Unknown.'

Group 8.  The Abductees:

This is the group that claims to have been abducted by Aliens for physical and psychological examinations. Also, the Group that has had a close-up encounter with the unknown and seen real Aliens face to face. To them, whether people believe them or not is immaterial, they know the meeting was real.
And, I believe them, because they are the Group which shows the normal human fear-reaction to their experience, but none of the super-fear reaction of the Debunkers. They apparently to not fear their sense of Reality is in any danger. When they tell their story, with or without hypnosis, the fear is apparent and real. Their most prevailing emotion throughout the encounter is their fear of the Aliens. They are sure they met up with something not human, something of the unknown; but they never question the reality of others may exist outside our planet.

When we compare the reactions of the different Groups against the world condition of the last 60 years; the Groups reaction become even stranger, because the world had become more homogeneous since the 1950s, not less; and, Humanity should not have reacted with such a diversity of emotions to the same information, that they in the past, would have reacted almost all with the same response, namely fear. As such, the strangeness is not the UFOs themselves, but peoples' reactions to the phenomenon; that is where the real puzzle is, because we would have to meet the others sooner or later, you cannot keep the rest of the Universe away from your door forever.
You see, there is nothing really strange of the existence of other planets with Aliens on them, even advanced Aliens. That is all within the realm of possibility and probability. Therefore, we can expect them to exist; it is also within realm of probability that they could have the Earth under observation and without any one being able to prove it as a fact, according Empirical Research Methodology. Because, one cannot obtain proof that 4th or 5th Dimensional objects exist with 3rd Dimensional instruments; their vibrations differ and they are normally invisible to each other and can only be seen under certain circumstances, that is why most people do not see UFOs. What is not rational is the range of mind-split emotions and reactions of people when exposed to information of the unknown genre -the UFO Phenomenon.
As Sherlock Holmes more than once said to Dr. Watson; "something is afoot, Watson."

* I have noticed the same reaction of some people being unable to retain unusual info, especially if the info is outside their idea of reality, the info slithers out, like a slippery eel; or they are only able to retain the knowledge for a short while. Other people, I notice, is unable to even hear the info, it goes right pass them or they get a blank look in their eyes as you are speaking to them in a foreign language. It is a very curious reaction.
