Tune IN to Spirit.

[da renn]

We can all tune into Spirit, if and when we take the time "out" & the effort to REALISE. Spirit is Here & Now, never elsewhere. Spirit is the WHOLE of what we are. We've always been Spirit and always will be. We are richly, sumptuously Alive as Spirit- Forever MORE! Think about that. Forever MORE. We are and will be Alive FOREVER MORE. More, and yet MORE- Alive- Forever! That's Us, as Spirit(s) in GOD and vice versa. God is so Infinite and Eternally VAST that there's room enough to feel yet more and more and even MORE Alive- into INFINITY. Ever Alive Forever, Spiralling "Upwards" into an ever expansive, Eternalised Love! An Ever Present BEING-NESS exists there, here and everywhere, NOW.
Fuckin' genius is God/dess!
No never ever gettin' bored.

I agree,

Lets just BE!!!

[gordonfreeman]

Thank you.

You made my day. Yesterday I went to the Block at Orange with my father. I was tired, the people that passes by me, usually give me a pretty weird look. Just because I am tall and skinny. I am taller than my parents! I ignored the unawakened souls in their human skins.

I agree,

Lets just BE!!!

Ha! Let's BE- forever MORE! For we ARE and can BE just that.
It's totally obvious to me that we are SPIRIT, and NEVER any doubt in my mind.
I got this particular inspiration- years ago-from outside a church, with their usual "Christ said" quotations:
Christ said: " I Am Alive Forever More."
I realised that anything that applies to "Christ" also applies to me and YOU!
"Christ" is Infinite Love, which is the ONLY TRUTH.

Ha, HA!- Yeah, that's the "Christ" i believe in, and totally KNOW.

[da renn]

"Christ" points right at ya, with thumbs UP!
You NEVER do wrong in HIS/HER eyes.
Infinite Love Guides perfectly.
Non Judgementally.

;)--> Long-distance record -- 'Quantum keys' sent 200 kilometers

Particles of light serving as “quantum keys”—the latest in encryption technology—have been sent over a record-setting 200-kilometer fiber-optic link by researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NTT Corp. in Japan, and Stanford University. The experiment, using mostly standard components and transmitting at telecommunications frequencies, offers an approach for making practical inter-city terrestrial quantum communications networks as well as long-range wireless systems using communication satellites.

Art for E.T.'S Sake--http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/adastra_E.T._070531_01.jpg
National Space Society: 31 May 2007
(...)But what about programs concerning art? Art contains lots of confusing and conflicting signals. Art is subjective and very personal. And although many forms of art are self explanatory, realistic and easily interpreted, so-called modern art, with its geometrical patterns, chaotic curves, random patterns and psychedelic swirls and whorls of color, take some figuring out.


The odds against us stumbling across an ET episode of " Art Today" are ridiculously high, but not impossible. Perhaps a civilization might, after millennia spent refining its sciences, value art more highly, so highly they felt a desire to share their artistic achievements with the rest of the Galaxy, (and preserve them in the process too, of course). Such a civilization might broadcast the contents of their galleries, scattering them among the stars like confetti, distributing them like a cosmic form of "shareware"...


But one civilization's art could be mistaken by another for scientific images, graphical representations of scientific concepts, or illustrations from some advanced physics textbook, and vice versa. Would we recognize - and/or aesthetically appreciate - any incoming examples, whole or fragmented, of ET art? And it works both ways: what would an ETI make of Picasso's works, when only a very few of us here on Earth have a clue what they're meant to represent? And are we really sure that ETs will correctly interpret those pulsar maps on the sides of our Voyagers and Pioneers, or will they just think "Hmmm, interesting composition, but too abstract for me.."?


The nature of ET art will be dictated by their range of senses, their environment, their evolutionary path, psychology and physiology. Of course, they could create familiar-looking compositions and provide us with stunning landscapes and portraits of the living things they share their corner of the Galaxy with, but it's more likely that the art created by ETs might be so different to our own that it would be unrecognizable as art. What sort of art might a mechanical ET produce? Would they rejoice in perfect design, see beauty in purely functional forms and shapes, have only disdain for soft lines and subtle, soft colors?


Perhaps some ETs will be so advanced they might create art on a literally astronomical scale, manipulating astronomical objects or entire regions of space...


It seems to me that ETs centuries or even millennia ahead of us would have so much power and so much energy at their disposal that the lines between art and engineering would eventually become blurred. As their artists strove to produce bigger and better works, they would need increasingly larger "canvases" for their works. Think of the evolution of our own art. Once we painted on cave walls, then discovered canvases, and how to sculpt stone. We then moved on to illuminating the sides of buildings with lasers and carving faces in mountainsides. Where next? Laser sculptures in the sky? Sculptures in Earth orbit? Images projected onto the Moon?


Now put yourself in the shoes of an artist a thousand, ten thousand years ahead. What canvas is big enough for your ambitions and imagination...? How about deliberately crashing asteroids or comets into gas giants to create exotic and wonderful patterns in their clouds, to be enjoyed by millions watching the show from across your solar system..?


Perhaps alien artists are painting with the very light of the stars themselves. Look at those breathtaking pictures of planetary nebulae taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, with all their multi-colored, intricately-structured shells, veils and curtains of starfire swirling around them. By interfering with the stars lurking inside such a nebula, maybe by dumping material on their surfaces, alien artists might be able to change the density and "gusts" of the solar wind shaping it, and in so doing manipulate the shape of the nebula into patterns and forms of their choosing. Would advanced civilizations be able to create epic-scale light-and-gas sculptures in this way?


Think about it. How many times have you looked at a Hubble image and thought "That's a work of art..."?


Maybe you were right.
