Life With The Unknown

a reply to: Proto88

What if the warp drive didn’t break? In fact what if it works just fine?

It has been written that entities would invade us from the bottomless pit. Some people thinks that means from the bowels of the Earth. But if that was the case, it would not be bottomless would it. Go deep enough, you just come out the other side.

Bottomless pit, sounds more like a black hole, or a gateway, from one dimension or another, a gateway from one time period to another, or a gateway from one universe to another.

Choose any of them, and you would need transportation that runs at a minimum of warp speed. So maybe it is happening right before our eyes, as we speak. But we can’t see it because of distortions due to warped time, space, speed, frequencies, etc.

What if what we think of as spirits, are just entities that become visible, briefly, due to glitches in the matrix, or because of some other unexpected occurrence?

There is so much we just don’t know, and it is all around us.

Ok everyone, sorry it took me so long to get back to you folks. I have been in four different cities over the past few days and needless to say, I'm wiped out.

Anyway, sorry for the ramblings. My point is that we are facing technology that is so far from anything we know that it is very doubtful we will uncover truths just by waiting for scientific advancement. At least, in our lifetimes. I think we need to work together to make earth better in hope that one day we will receive help and tools to better understand the world around us.

The best thing humanity can do for itself is to continually strive to improve, as if there was no one around to step in and lend a hand. If help from elsewhere eventually arrives, this little blue oasis will have fared far better in the meantime. Live for the moment and make the best of it! This is easier said than done, but it's the best course to take.

You know how you feel when you are teaching a little one to walk?

You get all excited when you see them stand all by themselves, and you hold your breath as you watch then take their first steps.

You want so much to hold their hand, but you know you can't. You have to let them do it all by themselves.

This bit fits in with @Turquosie's reply in many ways.

That's not radical! Anyone doing field investigation and not just parroting 2nd hand website BS from disinfo, money hungry charlatans, knows it's more complex and mysterious than the ideological driven human can interpret. It's like trying to explain quantum entanglement to a child.

That's another issue.
Two sources you'll never get any valuable information from: the government, and "long-beards" making videos on the internet.

At this point, any sufficiently developed civilization capable of efficient interdimensional and/or interstellar travel will (likely) not be using technology familiar to this world.
Currently, human technology is awaiting the next big breakthrough. Although daily use technology has improved as far as efficiency and capability, many of the concepts are, for the most part, the same (or similar) as they have been over the last few decades. Microchips, rocket ships, the battery, communications, etc. are all constantly evolving while using improved versions of (roughly) the same concepts.
When the next big breakthrough comes along, it will be something society is currently incapable of understanding. Several decades ago, the microchip was a massive breakthrough. Imagine talking to someone from 1920. If you were to describe to them a palm-sized glowing computerized screen capable of connecting you real-time with a family member half way across the globe (smartphone), the person wouldn't so much as be able to visualize it in their mind let alone understand the associated technological concepts.
And we're only talking about a timeline slightly longer than the average human lifespan in that example; not even a grain of sand in an hourglass to an advanced space-faring society.

The human mind has dealt with unexplainable and unidentified phenomena as long as it has existed--it is how the unexplained is processed that lends to all of these wildly differing theories and explanations.

When it's dark and you feel you know it's there, it's there.



What if God makes old pirate ships sail on the ocean when He knows nobody is looking just because He feels like it.
