Alternate Universe Transportation

Alternate Universes

Alternate Universe Transportation

Alternate Universe Theory is quite simply the idea that there are multiple universes existing at the same time. These universes may exist in different dimensions that may overlap or parallel our own. A few years ago, I had the idea that the human mind and soul were unique entities in the cosmos. And they have a specific and special vibration frequency or perhaps numerical value attached to them. That would help to explain why one conscious mind does not inadvertently control another beings body unintentionally. There are multiple universes, and universes branch off into new ones whenever there is a decision that is made. So if you are standing in front of your refrigerator late at night, and you are choosing between eating a pear or else a left-over piece of pizza, the universe splits into two or more different alternate universes. In one universe you eat the pear. In another you eat the slice of pizza. Perhaps in another you choose neither. And possibly in another universe you splurge and eat both the slice and the pear. It all depends on the choice that is made and the amount of options that go into it.  So going with this idea of the theory a planet like Earth with billions of sentient decision-making lifeforms on it, has many more parallel and alternate universe activity associated with it than a planet devoid of life. I call this Parallel Dimensional Density. I think this is one of the reasons why cities and places with large dense groups of people have such a “buzz” associated with them. When you are in one of these places there is an energy level that is quite different from a less populated region. This is partly because the amount of universes being created is happening so fast due to all the decisions and possibilities that are associated with them. But the interesting thing is that just because there is an alternate universe with your body in it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your mind and soul is actually there. Remember your mind and soul has a unique signature or number associated with it. So what I think happens is that these alternate Universes are illusory, just like our very own universe. And these alternate universes are populated by illusory clones or duplicates of everything we know to exist, including ourselves. But even though there may be a universe with one of ourselves functioning inside it with a mind, that does not necessarily mean that the you in that universe has a soul. So what I think happened in my life was that during one of my near-death experiences (I’ve had at least three), my soul was transported to an alternate universe. And I am actually using a body from another universe right now. The funny thing is, I may actually have proof.

In the early part of the 2000 decade, I’m thinking 2002 or 2003 or so, I was watching TV and I distinctly remember seeing a news report saying that the actor, John de Lancie, died in a car accident. I remember feeling a sense of loss and sadness, because I really loved John de Lancie and his work as actor in Star Trek: The Next Generation as Q. I felt like he had an amazing talent and his unique charisma and intelligence was obvious through his thoughtful portrayal of his dynamic character. His portrayal of Q made me reevaluate what it meant to truly exist at a very young age. And I sought to question my life on multiple levels from then on. Then a couple months ago, I watched an episode of Star Gate SG-1 where John de Lancie played a character called Colonel Frank Simmons. I thought he did a great job and the character was very interesting to watch. But I was a bit confused because I thought Stargate SG-1 aired during the mid to late 2000’s. In a conversation with a close friend of mine about Stargate SG-1 I mentioned how great it was to see John de Lancie in TV and how much I missed him. My friend said that he was one of his favorite actors as well abut he told me that he wasn’t dead. In fact, John de Lancie is alive and has been very active in the movie business. I told him that he was mistaken and that he had died in a car accident many years ago, but my friend disagreed. So we went on his internet phone and looked up John de Lancie on IMDB and Wikipedia and it said that he was indeed still alive. This was really strange and disconcerting for me because I had seen the news report with my own eyes and ears. So today I did some research and it turns out that John de Lancie had a father with the exact same name who was an oboe player and he died in 2002. So at first I thought I may have misinterpreted the news and my memory was distorted. But there was one problem: John del Lancie senior didn’t die in a car accident. He died in his home. Yet I clearly remember that John de Lancie,  the actor died in a car crash. But knowing what we know about alternate universes, I think my soul has been transported during a near-death experience to a universe where John de Lancie was still alive.

I’ve had several near-death experiences, some of them have been more near than others. But during any of those times one of the alternate universes could have had me as dead. And another universe may have had me as alive. But if I am dead in an alternate universe, there would be no reason for my soul to still be there. And if there was a suitable alternate universe where my body existed with a cloned mind, my soul could have been transported there with ease. It would be like two cars on the road with radios. The soul that is me is actually the radio station itself. But only one car can be tuned to the radio station of my soul at a time. So when one car that was tuned into the radio station of my soul was destroyed. Immediately the other car on the road was tuned from static, to my radio station. And the entire process of synchronizing the mind/body to the soul could be encompassed by momentary flash of deja-vu.

The question still remains, why do I remember the car accident of celebrity actor from another universe? I think it is a glitch…an error. I technically shouldn’t be able to remember a previous universe that I experienced, since the mind is attached to the universe that the body inhabits. But John de Lancie’s death by car accident in my previous universe must have made a distinct impression on not just my mind, but my soul that it could never be taken away. So when I encountered contradictory information in this reality, I accepted the information as real. But I questioned the very dimension that I am existing in. Now, I understand that I could have misinterpreted information in the past and could have hallucinated this entire thing, I accept that very distinct possibility. It is much more probable that my memory was warped through experience and time. And if I was ever questioned in public about this I would cater my response to the questioner. But deep down, I know there is something going on here…and I’m going to get to the bottom of it.

Stargate SG1 Withdrawal

Filed under: Tyler's Mind — Tyler @ 10:59 pm
Stargate EP Heroes Part 2 P3X-666

Stargate EP Heroes Part 2 P3X-666

I’ve been watching this TV show for the past few months called, “Stargate SG-1.” It is a great show and I’ve been catching it on DVD, so I haven’t had to watch commercials. This last week I watched Season 8 and it was amazing. Some days I watched five episodes per day. That was intense. But last night I watched a ton of episodes and so I had only one left for today. Now I’m wishing I had more to watch and I’m having total Stargate SG-1 withdrawal. I am wishing I had more to watch. But I guess this is ok because now I have something to blog about. Check out the picture to the left. This picture is from a Stargate SG-1 Episode called, “Heroes part 2.” What happens is that Dr. Daniel Jackson is filming a soldier giving a message to his wife, but then suddenly Dr. Janet Fraiser is shot by a Jaffa staff blast. She dies. But what is crazy is that the planet they are on is P3X-666. I didn’t really notice that the planet was named that until Dr. Jackson slapped his tape down on the table. It is interesting that the planet that has a “666” in it is also a place where an important recurring character gets killed.

I really get into TV shows…especially Science Fiction ones. I would watch Babylon 5 episode after episode, wanting to know what happens next. But with Stargate SG-1 the relationship I have with the show is slightly different. I have learned so much about the characters and the plot and the technology that there is a dedicated Stargate SG-1 area in my brain.

Since I’m not going to be able to watch any Stargate tonight I’m probably going to eat some Trader Joes O’s cereal.

TV is pretty addictive stuff. I remember high school and I would base my schedule around when Star Trek Deep Space 9 was on the air.

After watching so much Stargate in a row over the past few days I can feel myself turning into a moron. I’ve been less charismatic when talking to people. I can tell I am annoying people more often during conversations. 33% of my conversations this week have started like this: “Yo, on Stargate…” I even made a new friend today at Starbucks because I mentioned to the barista how, “I’ve watched an entire season of Stargate in one week.” And then some random dude who I didn’t know said, “Oh yeah? Well I’ve watched an entire season of that show in a WEEK-END!” And I was blown away. Then that dude and I talked about Stargate for about 10 minutes.

I saw a girl on Plenty of Fish that said that she liked the show Stargate. But I didn’t message her because I haven’t seen the entire show yet and I don’t want any spoilers.

Foreclosure Halt demonstrates market self preservation

Filed under: Innovation — Tyler @ 4:24 pm
Foreclosure

Foreclosure

About a week ago, I heard about how Bank of America was halting their foreclosures in multiple states. Now it seems that they have stopped foreclosing in all 50 states. This is called a moratorium, and in this case it means that Bank of America is not going to foreclose on many Americans’ homes even if they are not able to pay their mortgages. At first glace it may seem like they are doing this because they are being nice. Or perhaps they aren’t foreclosing on people because they can get more money by keeping people in their homes and accepting partial payment. But what I think is really going on is that Bank of America is attempting to preserve the housing market by plugging the gaping hole of rapid foreclosures. The one thing that we know about foreclosures is that the bank makes more money on a mortgage then they do if they have to sell a home after a foreclosure. The reason for this is because every time there is a foreclosure the bank needs to sell the property quickly in order to make money. Having it sit on the market does nothing for them. But the problem for the banks is that when there is a foreclosure in a neighborhood, there is a high probability that the value of other homes in the area will lose value. If you compound this with how there is a tremendous amount of unemployment and joblessness, then one can see how families may have trouble paying their mortgages. When people can’t pay their mortgages, they usually go into foreclosure and have to find a different housing solution.

But since Bank of America is temporarily halting Foreclosures, they are putting a stop on a chain reaction. This is actually in their favor. Because even though Bank of America will lose money from not selling properties that are foreclosed upon, they will protect the value of their other properties. I wouldn’t be surprised if other banks started to but the breaks on their foreclosures as well. I think the banks know something about the way the market is going that isn’t clear to the rest of us. They can probably see that even though the economy may look like it is stabilizing, the reality is that our ideal rate of financial growth is not sustainable.

One thing to think about is that if the value of a home drops, then it is more difficult to get good deals on refinancing.

Bank of America must see that they have too much a stake in the housing market to allow a foreclosure chain reaction to take place. So they are invariably protecting their assets by being lenient towards homeowners.

But while this is happening I am wondering how long Bank of America can maintain this halt on foreclosures. Because it doesn’t seem very clear when jobs are going to become widely available that will enable people to pay their mortgages. Also with the government going to vote again on the unemployment bill extension in November, there is an interesting issue that arises: Is the market heading toward a serious course correction?

From the looks of it, the government will probably pass the Unemployment extension in November. So it seems like we are being allowed to continue with our lifestyles for purpose. I think that purpose is to maintain consumption habits. If people stop consuming then this entire system is going to have a lot bigger problems than house devaluation.

Terra Chapter 3 Basic Rules

French Toast

French Toast

A smooth sound woke me up, I never heard something like that before.
I guess it is a frequency to help you wake up, so you get up without feeling tired or lazy; it is great.

After that some kind of hologram appeared in the middle of my room, this time another being showed up. The being was more like a human but with differences about the position of the eyes and the nose. Somehow they were more symmetrical and separated.
The being said, “Hello Chris, please proceed to the food court on this facility, so you can get your required food. After that you will proceed outside to the section A17, in that area you will receive some education today.”

It was a short message, but pretty straight forward. So with that in mind, I got out of the bed. As I approached to the shelves to get some clothes I noticed in the wall a button I didn’t notice before. It was engraved on the wall and it had the image of drops of water falling onto a shape that to me looked like a human. Since it was in my room and it seemed like some kind of shower image to me, I pressed it. A circular light covered me from top to bottom and it paralyzed me for a few seconds. My clothes went out of phase, as if they were on me, but almost invisible. Inside of the tube of light I got sprayed with something like a mist of water. It was really fast. After that my clothes went back to normal and the light disappeared. I got my movement back. I was feeling like when you take a shower and you just dried yourself with a towel, you feel fresh and clean at the same time.

I changed my clothes and I proceeded to find the food court.

In the food court there was a bunch of tables and chairs and smooth lights in the ceiling. There were a lot of devices on the edge of the room. Each device had a circular surface in the bottom, some kind of futuristic lamp in the top, and a little keyboard formed by images of familiar dishes at the foot of the device. The amazing thing was, that the top part was practically floating above the bottom without anything to grip it. There were no cables nor anything attached to the device.

So far I have been understanding, that you need to experiment to learn around here. So, I pressed the key with the image of eggs and ham. The lamp thing turned on flashing a light on the bottom part, so in the surface an image of eggs and ham appeared. Then the bottom part created some kind of energy spark, and the image of the food got materialized. After that the machine turned off again.

I grabbed my plate from the machine, it looked very good indeed. As I approached to the nearest table, somebody touched my back.

Lisa said, “Good morning Chris.”

She looked somehow happier now although you could tell that she cried a lot last night.

Chris said, “Good morning Lisa, How are you?”
Lisa said, “In a word, Tired, but the bed was very comfortable.”
Chris said, “Yeah, it is very comfortable and… why did you cry?”
Lisa looked away from Chris.
Lisa said, “Memories… I think that word sums a lost mother and a lost young brother, that I… will probably not ever see again. Anyway.” She looked at Chris again. “I am hungry, let’s eat something.”
I understood completely how she was feeling. After all, we all lost someone. She was trying to do what I taught her, forget about the past and concentrate on the future.
Chris said, “This food definitely tastes like home, I am amazed.”
Lisa said, “Yeah, I got this French toast and it is good, let me try some of yours you can try mine.”
Chris said, “Sure.”
It was a fact the aliens knew how to cook indeed.
Lisa said, “So… you got the hologram about the education?”
Chris said, “Yeah I got Area A17, what about you?”
Lisa said, “Area B09. Are you excited?”
Chris said, “Hehe, it’s been a while since I’ve been to school.”
Lisa said, “I wonder what they will try to teach us.”
Chris said, “I have no idea, but one thing is for sure. I am not going to obey blindly, I mean we don’t know their intentions. I want to learn more about this race and what their plans are. Only then I will be able to trust them.”
Lisa said, “Well, I don’t think they want to do harm to us. If that was the case, then why did they bother to rescue us?”
Chris said, “I hope you are right. It’s just that with the recent events, I feel like I cannot trust everybody so easily.”
Lisa said looking worried at the eyes of Chris, “So you don’t trust me?”
Chris said, “Lisa… with you it is different, I feel like I can trust you.”
Lisa smiled in relief.

Lisa said, “I need to be trusted by someone in here, and also, I need to trust someone too, I mean I am alone just like most of us, so it’s important to me.”

Lisa was very sincere and innocent about her feelings. She was neither shy nor afraid of saying what most of the people were probably thinking.

I smiled back at her. And we had a few moments of silence. It was easy to get lost in our thoughts, our memories, our ideas, a mix of fear with excitement. Our minds were filled with anxiety and we were so tired of having so many questions in our heads.

Chris tried to make some conversation to avoid the silence, “Well I was a little numb and tired too when I woke up this morning. But the shower sure helped me a lot.”
Lisa said, “Wait, shower, where did you take a shower?”
Chris laughed surprised about the answer.

After I explained about the shower button Lisa swore that the first thing she would do after coming back to her room, was to take a bath.

We finished our breakfast.

There was a container in the food court with a hole on the top so you could put things in it. Inside of the hole was some sort of light barrier covering the top, above the container a sign indicating to put your dishes in there. After you put the dishes in there a spark was generated inside of the container and then you could see how the dishes disintegrated.

We went outside. There were a lot of domes with signs of letters and numbers on the ground outside. The domes weren’t in there before so I assumed they were just installed.

Lisa said, “Well, I am going to look for B09. I’ll be seeing you.”
Chris said, “Sure, I have to go to A17, have a good day at school, hehe.”
Lisa seemed worried, “You too.”

I walked away to look for my area but Lisa stopped me.

Lisa said, “Chris…”
Chris said turning to Lisa, “Yes?”
Lisa said, “Mmm… Please be careful.”
Chris said “I will.”
Lisa said, “Bye.”

Lisa went away with a swift step.

After passing several Areas and exploring the surroundings I found area A17. I entered the Dome. Inside you couldn’t hear any sound of the exterior. The dome seemed to be of the same crystal-like material, similar to the door of my room. It had the same functionality that the one on my room had. The dome was big enough to garrison around 120 people with plenty of space to make some activities. Inside some men and women were waiting. There was a bunch of comfortable seats on the ground. The seats looked like pillows. They also had the capacity to be shaped in any form so you could be in the most comfortable position possible .

I sat down and waited for the class to start. After a while around five more people came to the Area and then finally the class started. A beam of light was flashed from the sky to the inside of the dome, from it the same being from the  hologram in the morning appeared. After that the beam disappeared. The being looked strong and fit. He was carrying a sword on his back.

The being speaking telepathically said:

“Greetings I am Balk, I am a Norsak, I come from the planet Valhal. I am a Battle Chief rank B. This is the official form to present yourselves before the entire universe; remember it, name, species, home planet, and rank. Your rank is like your profession, currently all of you are Colonist. This planet will be your new home planet since you were forced to escape the former one. The name of this is Terra, also your real species name is Terran, I will explain this to you later so you can understand why this is so.

To present yourself you have to stand always if possible. You must speak in a straight position showing respect for the people you are presenting to and for yourself. Please present yourself.”

The being pointed at one of the women in the room.

The women stood and said, “I am Emma, I am a Terran, I come from Terra, I am a Colonist.”
Balk said, “Good, now the rest.”

One by one all of the people presented themselves. As my turn came I thought about the significance of not being called Humans but Terrans. The reason for that was more than a simple name.

Balk said, “Good, now we all know each other. Through all the universe races from different beliefs and genetics make contact very often with new races, and a lot of misunderstandings occur. Most of the time this is because of inadequate communication. We need to learn how to present ourselves with others, so others will know that even if perhaps we are not as advanced as they, we are rational and in possession of consciousness.

Many races will not hesitate to treat another race like a beast of burden or as an animal, just because that race doesn’t know how to speak for their kin. In the universe most of the races believe that this is a requisite to be considered an intelligent race; anything else can be considered as an animal.
So if you cannot express who you are, and you display fear of a different race just because you don’t know it, you are acting as an animal. Intelligent beings are not afraid of what they don’t know, but curious and eager to understand it. Also an intelligent being always explains what he represents showing that he possesses self awareness.”

Balk looked serious about it. And I agreed about that. How many times we were scared about things we didn’t know, acting like animals attacking it, or fleeing from it?

Balk said, “As I said I am a Battle Chief, that means that my path and destiny in this existence is to fight for what is right. Also this means that I have a proficiency in matters of battle and fighting.
Understand that I was chosen to teach all of you, because you also have this destiny and path, and also you possess this proficiency. And although you are not a Battle Chief yet you will be trained by me as a Battle Scout, and soon you will become better and better in that; so one day you will be a Battle Chief too.
And finally the reason why you have this destiny, is because your genetics, your blood. All of you have in your blood DNA of other species. You all have a part of the Norsak in you.”

Everyone remained silent after that short speech. I just wanted to hear more.

All my life I wanted to be free, I wanted to be strong, to look for the weak. I used to get excited by heroes and everything about fighting for the unjust. I loved kung fu and karate movies and I daydreamed about doing those fighting movements too. Nevertheless I always thought I was wrong and that I was wasting my time thinking about it. My life gave me a different kind of life. I had a very boring job, and I lacked physical conditioning to do any of those things. Anyway still… I always had that feeling waiting to jump out of my heart into my head. That feeling always waiting to take control of myself. I thought, “I don’t know if Balk is brainwashing us about that, or if he is deceiving us with such words… but… I want to believe in it… I want to believe that he is true”.
