  1. "How come you never wake up in someone else's body?" There's only room for one at a time, I assume. Plus, we appear to be temporarily 'glued' to our bodies, so it's probably karmic in nature. If I choose to eat junk food, then my body, not someone else's body, must suffer the consequences. There could be a temporal aspect to this. We are frozen in time, in effect, thereby delaying the moment when we escape from our bodies.
  2. Yahweh ("I am that I am") - is this referring to the Creator making this world out of itself, holographically? Yahweh (IHVH) has 4 letters - the 4 corners of the ('square') material world? Yahweh is described as being vengeful, which suggests to me a karmic quality, as revenge can be 'an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth'. In some alchemical texts, the four letters of YHWH are associated with the four stages of the alchemical process: Solve (dissolving), Coagula (solidifying), Calcinatio (burning), and Sublimatio (sublimation). Others see the four letters as representing the four elements, with each element corresponding to a different aspect of the human being (e.g., Earth = body, Water = emotions, Fire = will, Air = mind). In Kabbalah, the four letters of YHWH are linked to the different Sefirot (emanations) on the Tree of Life, which represents the structure of creation and the divine.
  3. I view the Creator of this universe as a well-meaning twerp who messed up, but I don't think the underlying 'software' (universal intelligence - a kind of AI) can be altered. Wikipedia: Within the vast spectrum of Gnostic traditions, views of the Demiurge range dramatically. It is generally understood and agreed upon to be a lesser divinity who governs the material universe. However, the nature of its rule over the material realm differs from sect to sect. Sethian Gnosticism portrays the Demiurge as an oppressive, ignorant ruler, intentionally binding souls in an inherently corrupt material realm. In contrast, Valentinian Gnosticism sees the Demiurge as a well-meaning but limited figure whose rule reflects ignorance rather than malice. The following Wikipedia entry on Sophia (in Valentinian Gnosticism) suggests to me a kind of 'virgin birth', which I interpret to be an abnormal method of creation, a method that tries to create without karmic consequences. Sophia In Valentinianism, Sophia always stands absolutely at the center of the system, and in some sense she seems to represent the supreme female principle. Sophia is the youngest of the Aeons. Observing the multitude of Aeons and the power of begetting them, she hurries back into the depth of the Father, and seeks to emulate him by producing offspring without conjugal intercourse, but only projects an abortion, a formless substance. Upon this she is cast out of Pleroma and into the primal sub-stratum of matter.[19] In the Valentinian systems, the fall of Sophia appears in double guise. The higher Sophia still remains within the upper world after creating a disturbance, and after her expiation and repentance; but her premature offspring, Sophia Achamoth, is removed from the Pleroma, and becomes the heroine of the rest of the drama.[18] This fallen Sophia becomes a world creative power. Sophia Achamoth, or "Lower Wisdom", the daughter of "Higher Wisdom", becomes the mother of the Demiurge, identified with the God of the Old Testament.
  4. 29 June 2025 "More than 50,000 basement properties are at increased risk of floods due to climate change, the Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has warned. "The capital has seen the impact of the climate emergency first-hand with soaring temperatures and flash floods in recent years. "In July 2021, severe flooding left some Londoners temporarily homeless as thousands of properties were filled with storm water and sewage after more than a month's rain fell in two hours. "City Hall is sending guidance on flash flooding to households in basement properties, with advice on how to prepare for and deal with a flash flood." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g87exljgeo
  5. An even bigger AI, it could be argued, is the dodgy AI that underpins this universe, so maybe the man-made version is going to synchronise with the 'universal' AI.

  7. In 2017, the summit focused on four main themes: 1) climate change & food security, 2) citizen well-being & happiness, 3) government agility and geopolitics & humanitarian aid, with the goal of focusing on fundamental questions that aim to pave the way for that future across the globe. The summit was held under the patronage of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, and included participation of seven international organizations as strategic partners, including the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, UNESCO, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Economic Forum.[22] World Government Summit speakers have included:[24] Queen Rania Al Abdullah, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan[26] AbdulLatif Al Zayani, secretary general, Gulf Cooperation Council Baharash Bagherian, CEO of URB.[27] Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations[28] Boo Keun Yoon, CEO, Samsung Electronics Co.[29] Richard Branson, founder, Virgin Group[30] Kathy Calvin, president and chief executive officer of the United Nations Foundation[32] Tucker Carlson, political commentator[33] Deepak Chopra, author Martine Durand, OECD chief statistician and director of statistics[34] Idris Elba, Actor and a UN Goodwill Ambassador.[35] Malcolm Gladwell, author Jose Angel Gurria, secretary general of the OECD[36] Arianna Huffington, founder of Thrive Global Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda[37] Travis Kalanick, co-founder of Uber Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan[38] Jim Yong Kim, president of The World Bank Group[39] Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India Elon Musk, technology entrepreneur; co-founder and CEO of SpaceX; co-founder and CEO of Tesla[40] Joseph Muscat, Prime Minister of Malta[41] Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces[42] Barack Obama, former US President[43][44] Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum[11] Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysicist, Director of The Hayden Planetarium[45] Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc[46][47] Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate[48] José Zapatero, former Prime Minister of Spain Global Dialogue for Happiness In 2017, the World Government Summit held the first Global Dialogue for Happiness,[53] a one-day event prior to the summit.[54] It was convened by the UAE Minister of State for Happiness and Wellbeing, Her Excellency Ohood bint Khalfan Al Roumi.[55] Speakers at the first summit included editors of the World Happiness Report, Jeffrey Sachs, John F.

  8. What is Opus? Opus is a not-for-profit social enterprise working in culture, politics and the arts to support ‘upstream’ solutions to social, political, economic and environmental concerns. We create platforms for independent information and communication which amplify voices within the local economy, voluntary, community and campaign sectors. https://www.ubilabnetwork.org/about 2017 We set up the UBI Lab Network with Citizen Network Research, now one of the world’s biggest grassroots campaigns for a Universal Basic Income. 2021 We collaborate on Climate25, a project focused on planetary-scale responses to climate breakdown, which evolves into Foundations Earth https://www.foundationsearth.org/our-story Foundations Earth is a globally distributed team and network of innovators, community builders, social movement organisers, facilitators, film makers and more, who share a commitment to imagining and co- creating alternatives to our dominant systems. Our journey together began in 2021 when we were commissioned by a high-net-worth individual to explore the potential for creating a new executive power in response to biosphere collapse. As we delved deeper, we became increasingly aware of the risks of centralised responses and the complexity of decentralised responses. Steering Group included: Rebecca (Grace) Rachmany - is one of the leaders in the areas of tokenomics, blockchain governance and distributed technology. She is a DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation) governance consultant with expertise in the practicalities of how to lead a decentralised / distributed organisaztion, and brings 25 years of hands-on management of teams and cross-team cooperation. She is also the founder of Voice of Humanity and Priceless Economics projects. Her current work involves experimentation in infrastructure for human collaboration, governance, living environments, and non-monetary economic systems. Shikhar Igarwal - He contributed to the climate justice movement primarily through Extinction Rebellion - helping to establish chapters in India and the Netherlands, and founding the Global Partnerships Support Group. Having realised a gap within the current paradigm around shared, pragmatic visions of an ecologically regenerative future, he spends his time facilitating space for co-visioning just transformations through GreenCheck - a grassroots climate action support-providing startup, and Kamara - a youth climate movement safety and security project.
  9. 26 June "Piers Corbyn reports that this day 26 June in 1976 reached 35C in England and that this summer 2025 will not break the records of 1976 despite #ClimateCon propaganda. "He challenged BBC to hold three great debates with ALL sides involved: 1 War Debate, 2 Vax Debate, 3 Sky Debate. On War he said We support a nuke free Middle East so Israel must give up nukes if Iran does. "On Vax he said he supported Kate Shemirani against monstrous attacks; all Vaxes are dangerous; and the CV vax is the biggest genocide in world history. "On Sky #ChemTrails he said we must oppose all chemical pollution in the sky but the story about dimming the sun is a psyop to announce Carbon footprinting DIGI-ID to reduce CO2 as an alternative to Sun-Dimming. "Don't forget to BUY WeatherAction.com amazing forecasts by July1. Thank you."

  11. Indirect taxes are often cited as the way to pay for UBI. OPUS produced this website: How can we pay for a UBI? The UK spends over £93 billion per year on corporate subsidies and tax breaks. We could pay for a modest UBI solely by ending these subsidies and tax breaks. We could also pay for it by raising taxes on higher earners, or introducing new taxes. Carbon taxes, financial transaction taxes and land taxes could all pay for a UBI. There are many different ways to pay for a UBI, but all show that a UBI for everyone is easily affordable. https://www.ubilabnetwork.org/faqs
  12. Dear friends, Supermarket chain Iceland has started trialling live facial recognition in two stores, with plans for further expansion. Thousands of people will have their privacy rights violated just to buy basic necessities, and Iceland will turn its shoppers into suspects, making them submit to a biometric identity check as part of their daily lives. Policeland The technology Iceland is using to scan customers’ faces is provided by a controversial company called Facewatch. We're helping more than 35 people who have complained of being wrongly placed on Facewatch’s secret facial recognition watchlists. This includes a 62-year-old woman who was wrongly blacklisted by facial recognition after staff at Home Bargains falsely accused her of stealing a pack of paracetamol worth a mere 39p. The woman is now scared to go shopping alone and tearful even remembering what she went through. That’s because once you are added to one of Facewatch’s facial recognition watchlists, you are banned from every shop that uses the technology within your area. Iceland’s dystopian trial is underway in a Food Warehouse store on Manningham Lane in Bradford and an Iceland store in Salford. Last month we travelled to Asda stores trialling similar technology in Manchester, after thousands of you spoke out online against their use of this invasive technology. We now need to double down on our campaign and send Iceland a clear message. Stay tuned for more campaign actions soon... Thank you for standing with us.

  13. Laura Eisenhower reposted this Facebook post by Michael Salla, both of whom have been critical of Elena Danaan. Is this a fake falling out designed to push us towards Eisenhower and her circle? Salla wrote: "I'm so tired of this false narrative that since I took sick I have changed. What changed was that I got sick and tired of Elena Danaan's constant attacks on former colleagues and my guests on the most spurious of grounds. I explained to Elena what she was doing wrong in a balanced and respectful article responding to her April 28 critique on the Gray Alien Hybrid agenda where she attacked multiple individuals as Gray Hybrid agenda supporters. https://exopolitics.org/exposing-the-gray-alien-hybrid.../ However, Elena could not accept even the mildest of constructive criticisms and went ballistic behind the scenes, and claimed I was defending liars and the Gray Hybrid agenda. That's when her supporters went after me, and she cut all communications with me. That is not how a professional responds to constructive criticism. Over the last 24 years, I have never before been publicly attacked for interviewing different guests, but that has happened now. So I haven't changed, it was Elena that changed over the years from someone that encouraged peer collaboration, to now becoming a gatekeeper who attacks all who question her agenda and narrative. What she did to Jean Charles Moyen was particularly shameful. How can you claim one day that you teleported to Tokyo and Antarctica by the Galactic Federation to be a witness to JCM entering space arks, to next deleting all your video interviews of him, and saying he made it all up. Also, why did she refuse to accept Laura Eisenhower's attempt to reconcile with her after interviewing Ishmael Perez? Laura took down the interview and apologized, but that was not enough for Elena's fragile ego, and she ignored all reconciliation attempts. Finally, ask yourself, how many galactic envoys has Elena identified and publicly supported since she came out in 2021? Just one, the self-declared Emissary. Elena has become a cult-leader and yet I'm the one accused of having changed." Someone commented on Salla's post: Peggy Sue Foster "I could feel Elena and Dani’s energy and that caused me to unfollow them. I’ve always followed Michael Salla, Laura Eisenhower, Melanie Charest, Jean Charles Moyen, and Tony Rodrigues. I’ve always felt their good, clean, honest energy. That matters how your gut feels when you’re around or listening to another person. Thank you Michael for exposing what many of us already felt."
  14. Piers Corbyn is predicting global cooling caused by the sun, and scoffs at sun dimming technology. If he's correct, they'll be taking credit for the sun's work.

    The Three Tenors
  16. A common theme in Religion/Mythology/the occult is the act of defiance against some cosmic authority. For me that rebellion takes the form of an audacious, but ultimately futile, attempt to create a subconscious dream world where cause-and-effect (karma/'God') is suspended, or at least controlled. We amnesiac humans are unwittingly conducting this experiment, because we collectively are the Creator of this dream world.
  17. Why the number 33? It tends to arouse suspicion on this website because of the Freemasonic association.
  18. Another word to add to the list is DIKE; the Greek word δίκη (díkē, “custom, justice”) [1] This is also related to the name of the goddess of justice, Dike (aka Dice) who carries a pair of scales (more duality). Justice and karma are similar concepts.
  19. Etymology: Deus (Latin = God); Deux (French = two); Deuce ( a pair; slang = the Devil); Double ( a pair); Diablo (Spanish = Devil); Devil ( the devil has two horns); Debit. Duality is implied with karma, with its' double entry book of debits and credits. Debits are usually on the left hand side, which probably explains why the left hand is seen as 'evil'

    This reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it.
  22. If it has consciousness, then it can move on. If it's inanimate matter, then it cannot.
  23. I think that there are multiple Creators making multiple worlds. The Creator of our realm is conducting an experiment to cheat karma ("The Great Work") that is doomed to fail, though I suspect it knew that from the start.
