Irwin Ozborne, ContributorThanksgiving: Celebrating all that we have, and the genocide it took to get it.Thanksgiving is one of the most paradoxical times of the year. We gather together with friends and family in celebration of all that we are thankful for and express our gratitude, at the same time we are encouraged to eat in excess. But the irony really starts the next day on Black Friday. On Thursday we appreciate all the simple things in life, such as having a meal, a roof over [...]
The space agency NASA has asked public to submit designs for a Mars habitat. NASA, along with the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, is holding a competition to design and build a 3-D printed habitat for deep space explorations like journey to Mars. The multi-phase 3-D Printed Habitat Challenge has been specifically designed to advance the additive construction technology that is needed to develop sustainable housing solutions for earth and beyond. As per experts, shelter is among most basic and crucial requirement for humans but carrying bulks of material to build up a habitat during a deep space mission would unnecessarily take the place in cargo that could be used for something important. The first phase of the competition that was announced on Saturday will run through September 27. This phase calls on participants to develop state-of-the-art architectural concepts that take advantage of the unique capabilities 3-D printing offers. The top 30 submissions will be considered and judged. Also winners will be awarded with prize money of $50,000 at the 2015 World Maker Faire in New York. Sam Ortega, Centennial Challenges program manager, said, “This challenge definitely raises the bar from what we are currently capable of, and we are excited to see what the maker community does with it”...

Furthermore the second phase of the competition is divided into two levels i.e., the (Level 1) Structural Member Competition and the On-Site Habitat Competition (Level 2). The Level 1 focuses on the fabrication technologies that are needed to manufacture structural components from a combination of indigenous materials and recyclables, or indigenous materials alone. On the other hand, the Level 2 challenges competitors to construct full-scale habitats using indigenous materials or indigenous materials combined with recyclables. - See more at: http://perfscience.com/content/2141815-nasa-challenges-people-come-designs-mars-habitat#sthash.vtPiW4bW.dpuf

Leapfrogging backward in time to when the universe was apparently feeling its oats, a group of astronomers reported Tuesday that they had measured a bona fide distance to one of the farthest and thus earliest galaxies known.
The galaxy, more than a few billion light-years on the other side of the northern constellation Boötes, is one of the most massive and brightest in the early universe and goes by the name of EGS-zs8-1.
It flowered into stardom only 670 million years after the Big Bang.
The light from that galaxy has taken 13 billion years to reach telescopes on Earth. By now, however, since the universe has continued to expand during that time, the galaxy is about 30 billion light-years away, according to standard cosmological calculations.
The new measurements allow astronomers to see the galaxy in its infancy. Despite its relative youth, however, it is already about one-sixth as massive as the Milky Way, which is 10 billion years old. And it is getting bigger, making stars 80 times faster than the Milky Way is making them today. The discovery was reported in The Astrophysical Journal by Pascal Oesch of Yale University and his colleagues.
By the rules of the expanding universe, the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is retreating from us, measured by the “redshift” of its light being broadened to longer wavelengths, the way an ambulance siren seems to lower its pitch as it goes by.
In the past few years, as astronomers have raced one another into the past with instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope, galaxies have been found that appear even more distant. Those measurements, however, were estimates based on the colors of the objects — so-called photometric redshifts.
The new galaxy stuck out in a survey of distant galaxies by the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes known as Candels, for Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey. Its redshift was precisely measured with a powerful spectrograph known as Mosfire — Multi-Object Spectrometer for Infrared Exploration — on Keck 1, one of a pair of 10-meter-diameter telescopes on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. That makes it the highest redshift confirmed in this way, said Garth Illingworth, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, one of the astronomers in the study.
How galaxies were able to form and grow so rapidly after the lights came on in the universe is a mystery that will be addressed by a coming generation of instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope and the Thirty Meter Telescope, a goliath planned for Mauna Kea, already home to a dozen telescopes.
Recently, however, construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, a $1.4 billion project, has been halted by protests by Hawaii residents who feel their mountain has been abused. An echo of that controversy appears in the new paper, in which Dr. Oesch and his colleagues write: “The authors wish to recognize and acknowledge the very significant cultural role and reverence that the summit of Mauna Kea has always had within the indigenous Hawaiian community. We are most fortunate to have the opportunity to conduct observations from this mountain.”
It was not too long ago that people from France, Belgium, Germany, and other countries came to visit humans who were locked up in cages. In these zoos, humans were on exhibit in front of a large audience, locked in with animals at a local zoo. Hundreds of thousands of people would visit these minorities who were on display like animals. The humans zoos were a large attraction, as 18 million came to visit the World Fair in 1889, held in Paris. Over four hundred Aboriginals [...]
Among extraterrestrial bodies in our solar system, Mars is singular in that it possesses all the raw materials required to support not only life, but a new branch of human civilization. This uniqueness is illustrated most clearly if we contrast Mars with the Earth's Moon, the most frequently cited alternative location for extraterrestrial human colonization.
In contrast to the Moon, Mars is rich in carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, all in biologically readily accessible forms such as carbon dioxide gas, nitrogen gas, and water ice and permafrost. Carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen are only present on the Moon in parts per million quantities, much like gold in seawater. Oxygen is abundant on the Moon, but only in tightly bound oxides such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), ferrous oxide (Fe2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which require very high energy processes to reduce.
The Moon is also deficient in about half the metals of interest to industrial society (copper, for example), as well as many other elements of interest such as sulfur and phosphorus. Mars has every required element in abundance. Moreover, on Mars, as on Earth, hydrologic and volcanic processes have occurred that are likely to have consolidated various elements into local concentrations of high-grade mineral ore. Indeed, the geologic history of Mars has been compared to that of Africa, with very optimistic inferences as to its mineral wealth implied as a corollary. In contrast, the Moon has had virtually no history of water or volcanic action, with the result that it is basically composed of trash rocks with very little differentiation into ores that represent useful concentrations of anything interesting.
You can generate power on either the Moon or Mars with solar panels, and here the advantages of the Moon's clearer skies and closer proximity to the Sun than Mars roughly balances the disadvantage of large energy storage requirements created by the Moon's 28-day light-dark cycle. But if you wish to manufacture solar panels, so as to create a self-expanding power base, Mars holds an enormous advantage, as only Mars possesses the large supplies of carbon and hydrogen needed to produce the pure silicon required for producing photovoltaic panels and other electronics. In addition, Mars has the potential for wind-generated power while the Moon clearly does not. But both solar and wind offer relatively modest power potential — tens or at most hundreds of kilowatts here or there. To create a vibrant civilization you need a richer power base, and this Mars has both in the short and medium term in the form of its geothermal power resources, which offer potential for large numbers of locally created electricity generating stations in the 10 MW (10,000 kilowatt) class. In the long-term, Mars will enjoy a power-rich economy based upon exploitation of its large domestic resources of deuterium fuel for fusion reactors. Deuterium is five times more common on Mars than it is on Earth, and tens of thousands of times more common on Mars than on the Moon.
But the biggest problem with the Moon, as with all other airless planetary bodies and proposed artificial free-space colonies, is that sunlight is not available in a form useful for growing crops. A single acre of plants on Earth requires four megawatts of sunlight power, a square kilometer needs 1,000 MW. The entire world put together does not produce enough electrical power to illuminate the farms of the state of Rhode Island, that agricultural giant. Growing crops with electrically generated light is just economically hopeless. But you can't use natural sunlight on the Moon or any other airless body in space unless you put walls on the greenhouse thick enough to shield out solar flares, a requirement that enormously increases the expense of creating cropland. Even if you did that, it wouldn't do you any good on the Moon, because plants won't grow in a light/dark cycle lasting 28 days.
But on Mars there is an atmosphere thick enough to protect crops grown on the surface from solar flare. Therefore, thin-walled inflatable plastic greenhouses protected by unpressurized UV-resistant hard-plastic shield domes can be used to rapidly create cropland on the surface. Even without the problems of solar flares and month-long diurnal cycle, such simple greenhouses would be impractical on the Moon as they would create unbearably high temperatures. On Mars, in contrast, the strong greenhouse effect created by such domes would be precisely what is necessary to produce a temperate climate inside. Such domes up to 50 meters in diameter are light enough to be transported from Earth initially, and later on they can be manufactured on Mars out of indigenous materials. Because all the resources to make plastics exist on Mars, networks of such 50- to 100-meter domes could be rapidly manufactured and deployed, opening up large areas of the surface to both shirtsleeve human habitation and agriculture. That's just the beginning, because it will eventually be possible for humans to substantially thicken Mars' atmosphere by forcing the regolith to outgas its contents through a deliberate program of artificially induced global warming. Once that has been accomplished, the habitation domes could be virtually any size, as they would not have to sustain a pressure differential between their interior and exterior. In fact, once that has been done, it will be possible to raise specially bred crops outside the domes.
The point to be made is that unlike colonists on any known extraterrestrial body, Martian colonists will be able to live on the surface, not in tunnels, and move about freely and grow crops in the light of day. Mars is a place where humans can live and multiply to large numbers, supporting themselves with products of every description made out of indigenous materials. Mars is thus a place where an actual civilization, not just a mining or scientific outpost, can be developed. And significantly for interplanetary commerce, Mars and Earth are the only two locations in the solar system where humans will be able to grow crops for export.
Interplanetary Commerce
Mars is the best target for colonization in the solar system because it has by far the greatest potential for self-sufficiency. Nevertheless, even with optimistic extrapolation of robotic manufacturing techniques, Mars will not have the division of labor required to make it fully self-sufficient until its population numbers in the millions. Thus, for decades and perhaps longer, it will be necessary, and forever desirable, for Mars to be able to import specialized manufactured goods from Earth. These goods can be fairly limited in mass, as only small portions (by weight) of even very high-tech goods are actually complex. Nevertheless, these smaller sophisticated items will have to be paid for, and the high costs of Earth-launch and interplanetary transport will greatly increase their price. What can Mars possibly export back to Earth in return? It is this question that has caused many to incorrectly deem Mars colonization intractable, or at least inferior in prospect to the Moon.
For example, much has been made of the fact that the Moon has indigenous supplies of helium-3, an isotope not found on Earth and which could be of considerable value as a fuel for second generation thermonuclear fusion reactors. Mars has no known helium-3 resources. On the other hand, because of its complex geologic history, Mars may have concentrated mineral ores, with much greater concentrations of precious metal ores readily available than is currently the case on Earth — because the terrestrial ores have been heavily scavenged by humans for the past 5,000 years. If concentrated supplies of metals of equal or greater value than silver (such as germanium, hafnium, lanthanum, cerium, rhenium, samarium, gallium, gadolinium, gold, palladium, iridium, rubidium, platinum, rhodium, europium, and a host of others) were available on Mars, they could potentially be transported back to Earth for a substantial profit. Reusable Mars-surface based single-stage-to-orbit vehicles would haul cargoes to Mars orbit for transportation to Earth via either cheap expendable chemical stages manufactured on Mars or reusable cycling solar or magnetic sail-powered interplanetary spacecraft. The existence of such Martian precious metal ores, however, is still hypothetical.
But there is one commercial resource that is known to exist ubiquitously on Mars in large amount — deuterium. Deuterium, the heavy isotope of hydrogen, occurs as 166 out of every million hydrogen atoms on Earth, but comprises 833 out of every million hydrogen atoms on Mars. Deuterium is the key fuel not only for both first and second generation fusion reactors, but it is also an essential material needed by the nuclear power industry today. Even with cheap power, deuterium is very expensive; its current market value on Earth is about $10,000 per kilogram, roughly fifty times as valuable as silver or 70% as valuable as gold. This is in today's pre-fusion economy. Once fusion reactors go into widespread use deuterium prices will increase. All the in-situ chemical processes required to produce the fuel, oxygen, and plastics necessary to run a Mars settlement require water electrolysis as an intermediate step. As a by product of these operations, millions, perhaps billions, of dollars worth of deuterium will be produced.
Ideas may be another possible export for Martian colonists. Just as the labor shortage prevalent in colonial and nineteenth century America drove the creation of "Yankee ingenuity's" flood of inventions, so the conditions of extreme labor shortage combined with a technological culture that shuns impractical legislative constraints against innovation will tend to drive Martian ingenuity to produce wave after wave of invention in energy production, automation and robotics, biotechnology, and other areas. These inventions, licensed on Earth, could finance Mars even as they revolutionize and advance terrestrial living standards as forcefully as nineteenth century American invention changed Europe and ultimately the rest of the world as well.
Inventions produced as a matter of necessity by a practical intellectual culture stressed by frontier conditions can make Mars rich, but invention and direct export to Earth are not the only ways that Martians will be able to make a fortune. The other route is via trade to the asteroid belt, the band of small, mineral-rich bodies lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. There are about 5,000 asteroids known today, of which about 98% are in the "Main Belt" lying between Mars and Jupiter, with an average distance from the Sun of about 2.7 astronomical units, or AU. (The Earth is 1.0 AU from the Sun.) Of the remaining two percent known as the near-Earth asteroids, about 90% orbit closer to Mars than to the Earth. Collectively, these asteroids represent an enormous stockpile of mineral wealth in the form of platinum group and other valuable metals.
Historical Analogies
The primary analogy I wish to draw is that Mars is to the new age of exploration as North America was to the last. The Earth's Moon, close to the metropolitan planet but impoverished in resources, compares to Greenland. Other destinations, such as the Main Belt asteroids, may be rich in potential future exports to Earth but lack the preconditions for the creation of a fully developed indigenous society; these compare to the West Indies. Only Mars has the full set of resources required to develop a native civilization, and only Mars is a viable target for true colonization. Like America in its relationship to Britain and the West Indies, Mars has a positional advantage that will allow it to participate in a useful way to support extractive activities on behalf of Earth in the asteroid belt and elsewhere.
But despite the shortsighted calculations of eighteenth-century European statesmen and financiers, the true value of America never was as a logistical support base for West Indies sugar and spice trade, inland fur trade, or as a potential market for manufactured goods. The true value of America was as the future home for a new branch of human civilization, one that as a combined result of its humanistic antecedents and its frontier conditions was able to develop into the most powerful engine for human progress and economic growth the world had ever seen. The wealth of America was in fact that she could support people, and that the right kind of people chose to go to her. People create wealth. People are wealth and power. Every feature of Frontier American life that acted to create a practical can-do culture of innovating people will apply to Mars a hundred-fold.
Mars is a harsher place than any on Earth. But provided one can survive the regimen, it is the toughest schools that are the best. The Martians shall do well.

Well...Anasazi1 just made me realize that there was no Cosmic Awareness message posted here recently,so here's the most recent one avaiable right one,as the CAC newsletter is for mem...
In Part 1 of
this series I shared with you the final and defining moment
of how, in October 2008, I came to decide to be the creator of my own
reality.Obviously there was a lifetime of events that lead
up to this moment and I am now still busy discovering what it means to
make that decision.And that is what I want to share with
you in this post – what DOES it mean to decide that you are the creator
of your own reality?If you were to claim for yourself that
you are “an eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power” then
what should you create?
For
myself, I started by looking around me
at the life I was living and realised that THIS was not the life I
wanted to create.It was possibly the best life I could put
together if I was the victim of things like economics and other
people’s expectations of me.And if I feared being “out of
work” then I probably had to be grateful for what I had.After
all, I earned a pretty good salary and did work that I at least
partially enjoyed.But there was much there that was wrong
for me.For one thing I really disliked the number of lies,
manipulations and distortions that I had to perpetrate every day as a
part of “business as usual”.It seems it is well nigh
impossible to engage in the world of business and be really honest,
integral and forthright.If I told clients the whole truth
they would have taken their money elsewhere to someone else that would
tell them the sweet little lies they wanted to hear.If I
told my employees the whole truth they would have mutinied and at the
very least demanded more money.If I told those that I
reported to the whole truth… well… that would have been a strange sight.Certainly my business would not have continued to function for
very much longer.I mean can you imagine telling your boss
the whole truth of exactly what you think? Simply put, I cannot see that it is possible to make a buck
in the world of business and still have your integrity in tact. I found I could also no longer countenance all the endless
chasing after money.All the polishing of egos and
kow-towing that had to be done to people that I would otherwise not want
to spend even a moment’s time with.All the stress and all
the worry, all in the interests of a few pennies in my own pocket while
I made strangers that I would never even meet much, much richer; the
invisible owners of the corporation called “shareholders” that were the
beneficiaries of everyone’s labour. And that
was just one area of the life I was living that was not right for me.There were many.Everywhere I looked I asked
myself, “if I am a creator being, is THIS what I want to create?”And
the answer was almost always “no”. I didn’t want the city anymore with its mad traffic and all
the aggression, crime and frustration.I didn’t want the
inauthentic friends.I didn’t want the non-stop social
events and wild parties that always ended with emptiness.I
became disconnected from all the disconnect. So the question arose - if this was not what I wanted to
create then what DID I want?Given that I now knew for sure
I did not want to continue living the life I was living, this was
obviously a question that was in urgent need of answering. Fortunately,
I have a higher-self that is very kind to me.By the time I
was ready to claim my own creator-status I had already found a way to
show myself, in the clearest way imaginable, exactly what I wanted to
create.Even though I didn’t know this was what I was being
shown at the time.Does that sound cryptic?Allow
me to explain: In April of 2008 (which was
six months before that final, momentous decision), Lisa and I were on
holiday in an area of my country called The
Garden Route. We have always loved it there and had holidayed there
every single year for the past 15 years.It’s mainly the
indigenous Tsitsikamma (pronounced Tzi-tzee-karma) forests on the slopes
of the Outeniqua Mountains (pronounced Oh-ten-ick-wah) that
draw us there.But there is something very special about
the whole area.On this particular holiday we experienced
something that changed us both forever.It occurred while
we were on a hike in a particularly beautiful and unspoiled area.At
some point the trail took us up a hill, out of the forests and onto a
small plateau overlooking a spectacularly beautiful valley with a small
river winding its way along the bottom running into the sea in the
distance.On any given day, this would be the kind of view
that I would stop and marvel at.It certainly was
beautiful.But on that particular day, standing there
looking across the valley at the forested mountains in the distance,
something changed.The world around me was suddenly
impossibly beautiful.Now, I could try to describe it – I
could wax lyrical about the way the sun poured its light down on the
earth like golden syrup.I could tell you that each leaf of
every single tree looked like a perfect emerald jewel and that the wind
through the grass set up a vibration that sang and hummed in my soul.I could tell you that I believed I could see with absolute and
perfect clarity every single leaf and blade of grass right the way to
the distant horizon.I could tell you about the quality of
the air – that it had become gelid with the density of pure life essence
that surrounded and interpenetrated me and all that was around me.I could throw pages and pages of such words at you in my
desperate attempt to share with you the pure transcendent bliss of that
moment and always I would feel like I am not even scratching the surface
of what that moment was like.Perhaps I should simply say
that I believe I saw God in the very Life of the forest on that day.My heart was opened and a portal was made there, through which I
saw the world.For the very first time ever I really SAW.I saw with my heart and my soul instead of my eyes and my mind.And it was beautiful.It was more beautiful than I
could imagine anything ever being.This amazing, mystical
experience was beyond my ability to even begin to make sense of.I
stood.I stared.I was awed.I
felt.I knew.I belonged. Striving
for comprehension my mind eventually came up with an idea of what to do
with this experience.It sent the thought out to the
forest saying: “I see you!I love you!Will
you accept us as custodians?” And then I gained the presence of mind to
wonder what had happened to Lisa.I had no idea how much
time had passed since I had last spoken to her as we huffed and puffed
up the steep slope.I turned to look for her.She
was a few metres away, down on her knees with her back turned to me.I noticed she was shaking.As I approached her I
realised she was crying.I got closer and I heard her
saying over and over again; “yes… yes… yes…” In that
moment, it felt to me like she was answering my question on behalf of
the forest.Or maybe the forest had asked her that same
question and she was answering.It felt like Lisa and the
whole of the forest and I were all one being and we were all speaking
the same question and answer to ourselves:“Will you accept
us as custodians?Yes… yes… yes.”* After sometime – I have no idea how long – we noticed it
was getting late and we had some distance to walk to get back to the
car.Reluctantly, but with out hearts full, we walked back
to the car in a kind of euphoric, blissful semi-trance.We
both knew something life-changing had happened but had no way to make
sense of it. I am deeply grateful that Lisa experienced
this with me.Partly because experiencing it alone would
have made it altogether less meaningful but more so because if I had
experienced this alone I would have known that I was now on a journey
without her.An experience like this changes you.You
are no longer the same person you were before such an event.Everything
changes.Certainly your life path and all the things you
have previously valued are substantially re-arranged. And so
it was that, six months later, when I hit the crisis which caused me to
finally choose to release my own victim status and to begin to claim my
own creator-status instead, I was ready.I won’t lie to
you, I had a great deal of difficultly and discomfort letting go of
victim in all its guises.I am STILL busy with the vestiges
of that process.But at least I knew one thing… the most
important thing… the thing that would pull me forward from then on.I knew that I wanted to create a life that brought me always to
that state of connection that I had felt on the crest of the hill in the
Outeniqua Mountains.I knew that I wanted to create myself
as a part of that blissful Oneness.I knew I wanted to
release those things that drove me into a state of separation and
disconnect.I wanted the Light, the Life and the Love.I wanted it all.I know now that what Lisa and I
experienced there was a true mystical experience.A truly
transcendent moment.It was a moment of perfect Oneness
with All That Is.And since experiencing that, the first
time, I have known that what I wanted more than anything was to find my
way to a permanent experience of that. It was
also clear to me that my Soul had a plan for me and that the forests of
the Outeniqua Mountains were a vital part of that plan.I
am deeply grateful to The One that Lisa felt exactly the same way. And that is what we set about doing. As I
write this blog post we have just taken delivery of a huge stack of
cardboard boxes.We are just about to begin packing up
those of our possessions that are going with us in our move to the
Outeniqua Mountains.Yes, we are actually doing it.We
are moving.Lisa resigned her job.Would you
believe it if I told you that, just before she resigned, she was offered
a very attractive position in the South of France?Big
money and all the ego-inducements that a sparkling career-path can
offer.She turned it down.Would you believe
it if I told you that I gave my business away?Two of my
employees had shown such passion and commitment to the business that my
heart told me that the right thing to do would be to give them the
business.I did a six-month hand-over during which time I
trained them in every aspect of the operation and then I walked away.Since then Lisa and I have sold our house, sold her zooty little
BMW Z3 and are busy selling my Hyundai Tiburon.We are
exiting all that.We have found our perfect piece of
paradise in the mountains and we are in the process of buying it.As
soon as my car sells, we’ll be be replacing it with a 4x4 pickup.We have cashed in all our investments and pulled ourselves out
of all the fear based financial tools like insurance and retirement
funds.These things are just not relevant to us anymore.We have pared down and simplified every aspect of our lives.The wallet-full of plastic in sharp metallic colours was taken
back to the bank for shredding and accounts were closed.We
now have one card and one bank account.We even have just
one mobile phone between us.No store cards.No
open contracts for anything with anyone.The load is light
and we are free. And so I am in strange place.My
old life is over.It is behind me.All sorted
out and tied off with a bow.And yet I am not dead.I
am still here and very much more alive than I have ever been before.At age forty, I feel more vital and full of life than I have
ever felt.I feel ready to begin again.I am
ready to birth myself into a new life.But this time will
be different.This birth will not start with me having to
go through forgetting and physical birth and then learning how to be a
human in a human society.Instead I will start knowing who I
am and why I am here.I choose the stage setting to be the
beauty and splendour of the Outeniqua Mountains.I choose
to have the curtains go up with me and withmy angel-light
lady-love and our dogs finding ourselves in a timber home on our land in
the forest.I choose to have the main thrust of the plot
of my story revolve around my journey Home.The quest to
find my way back to the endless love and unspeakable bliss that calls to
me from within my heart.Lisa and I briefly glimpsed it on
that day but now I will find my way Home to permanent relationship with
it.And when I find it next I know I will not just find a
forest there.I will find all of Life there.And
I will find You there too.
*If you want to read
Lisa’s perspective on this mystical experience you can find her blog posting here. In Part 3 of this series I will share with you the details
of the life I am choosing to create and the spiritual significance of
these new choices.You are invited to take a free
membership of my website if you’d like to be updated on when new
blog-posts are made. You will then also be able to leave comments on
blog-posts.
Comment discussion - I'd really like to
know if you have had a mystical experience of your own - and if so how
this has changed your life. Something else I'd be keen to know is if
you have given thought to the life you would create if you are "an
eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power" and if so, how that
life might look. Please share with me these and any other thoughts that
are appropriate by clicking on "comments" below.
