In the thread of Corsair's about covered up UFO tech you stated the AMP devices work to achieve FTL travel.
I found that peculiar. Particularly the response you gave me when I mentioned the space warping ideas currently being worked on at JPL. So, has the Government achieved FTL travel?

Do you believe that each man/woman is a god and that there is no ONE all seeing all knowing entity that is the source of the universe? I have always had the feeling that I am spiritually--that is to say my INDIVIDUAL "essence"-- immortal. I don't know about power structures concerning this (if they exist) , though the feeling that I have a vast history and a unique indelible spiritual "fingerprint" has been with me since my first memories. Are setians interested in this possibility?
[Allan Quatermain] “I have heard of Isis of the Egyptians, Lady of the Moon, Mother of Mysteries, spouse of Osiris whose child was Horus the Avenger.”
[Ayesha] “Aye, and I think will hear more of her before you have done, Allan, for now something comes back to me concerning you and her and another. I am not the only one who has broken the oaths of Isis and received her curse, Allan, as you may find out in the days to come. But what of these heavenly queens?”
“Only this, Ayesha: I have been taught that they were but phantasms fabled by men with many another false divinity, and could have sworn that this was true. And yet you talk of them as real and living, which perplexes me.”
“Being dull of understanding doubtless it perplexes you, Allan. Yet if you had imagination, you might understand that these goddesses are great principles of nature: Isis of throned Wisdom and strait virtue, and Aphrodite of Love as it is known to men and women who, being human, have it laid upon them that they must hand on the torch of life in their little hour. Also you would know that such principles can seem to take shape and form and at certain ages of he world appear to their servants visible in majesty, though perchance today others with changed names wield their sceptres and work their will. Now you are answered on this matter.”
I’m a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get?
Everybody’s looking for his true self. We’re all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, get ahold of ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves.
Ever since we dispensed with God, we’ve got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life. We’re all weekending at est or meditating for forty minutes a day or squatting on floors in a communal OM or locking arms in quasi-Sufi dances or stripping off the deceptions of civilized life and jumping naked into a swimming pool filled with other naked searchers for self.
Well, I think that true self, that original self, that first self, is a real, mensurate, quantifiable thing, tangible and incarnate. And I’m going to find the f**ker!

O Her-Bak. O Egypt. You are the temple which the neter of neters inhabits. Awaken him ... then let the temple fall crashing.

Could believing in nothing be a myth?
I recall a Gahan Wilson cartoon with a crowd of hooded/robed cultists genuflecting before an altar with a large "zero" on it. One cult member was asking another, "Is nothing sacred?"

Knowing your extensive understanding of the military and how it functions, how far afield do you believe is the practice of using 'Reserves' for active duty from the perspectives Socrates held and do you believe that a much better military education, normally only applied to the officer classes via West Point, should be given to all ranks in the near future?
In your wildest imagination and based on your considerable expertise in the matter, will the future go back to the past with an eye towards philosopher soldiers with lifelong careers?
MindWar
Since its creation on 14 June 1775, the U.S. Army has been an institution and an engine of death and destruction, albeit and avowedly to preserve and protect the United States and its citizenry. MindWar proposes to change the Army’s operational methodology to a completely constructive and creative one, with its PW power maintained and brandished as the same sort of unthinkable deterrent as the nation’s nuclear arsenal. Thus other nation-states and nonstate groups will have no alternative but to choose the MW option, which, once they do, they will discover works entirely to their rescue and regeneration.
The evolution to MindWar will be complete when the arrival of any U.S. Army soldier, indeed any U.S. servicemember, anywhere in the world is looked upon by everyone present as a blessing.

Why do you write earth that way? What is the significance of the * between ea and rth.?

Hey, don't get me wrong... I'm just saying you have to have balls the size of Texas to call 3/4 of the population stupid.
I'm very open minded. But, I don't call smart people stupid.

There is a type of parasite that I have been studying for many years, which (it is my observation) is intimately involved with human consciousness, and which may itself be manipulated so as to "mind control" vast populations.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Hour by hour resolve firmly, like a Roman and a man, to do what comes to hand with correct and natural dignity, and with humanity, independence, and justice. Allow your mind freedom from all other considerations. This you can do if you will approach each action as though it were your last, dismissing the wayward thought, the emotional recoil from the commands of reason, the desire to create an impression, the admiration of self, the discontent with your lot. See how little a man needs to master for his days to flow on in quietness and piety; he has but to observe these few counsels and the gods will ask nothing more.
