There is a concept in cabbala, the Jewish mysteries, called "tzimtzum", which I would like to compare to a phenomenon in quantum cosmology; I take my information on quantum cosmology from a book called Hyperspace by Dr. Michio Kaku. It is suggested that our universe was composed of ten dimensions before the beginning of time, something dubiously called the "Big Bang". This ten-dimensional state

One skeptical commentor postulates that this was faked by microwaving the eraser, causing the aluminum wheel to move by convection currents in the air. But why did it reverse directions? It stopped when he put the lid over it, then moved again, contrary to the origianl direction. Try it with a nuked eraser and find out, I guess.

A sort of folded pinwheel on a pin. It's covered to precent the interference of air currents. Allegedly, this guy is moving the piece of foil with so-called psionic energy, a sort of mental projection. In other words, telekinesis. Read Wikipedia's definition of Psi Wheel.

In a colliseum, or some sort of dirty, brownish arena in an acient and foreign land, local people brought birds for a festival. They brought the birds, not in cages, but on long leashes. There were all sorts of birds--eagles, buzzards, ravens, falcons,gulls, crows, hawks, and so forth--all with gnarly beaks. There were several hundred birds; they did not fly, they walked and waddled in. By

I believe our current sociopolitical climate is indicative of a fast-rising tide of the schemes of the illuminist regime (i.e. the Antichrist). The current state of the bourgeois (which is an unfortunate but appropriate label) is a barometer which reveals the relative success of those plots. There are five societal conditions which I believe most suggestive of decaying morality in

The ruling-class has created a myth called "over population." The myth states that the population of the world is growing too fst. It is used to propigate thoughts like this: "A democratic, capitalist state [does not have] the discipline necessary to survive in a world of scarcity." The purpose of these messages is to prepare the average citizen to accept total government control of himself

I was sitting in a crowded room, full of mostly post-menopausal women. We were listening to a woman named Dr. Adonna Otwell preach to us. She started to play a song that went like this: "The presence of the Lord is here, You can feel it in the atmosphere...". A white haired old man wrapped in a sheet, like a toga, came out and started walking around slowly. He put his hands on some of the

1. There is a plurality of levels of being, arranged in hierarchical descending order, the last and lowest comprising the physical universe, which exists in time and space and is perceptible to the senses. (See pluralism.)2. Each level of being is derived from its superior, a derivation that is not a process in time or space. 3. Each derived being is established in its own reality by turning back

The February, 1962 Scientific American magazine carried an advertisement on page 91, placed there by the Sperry Gyroscope Company. This ad showed a drawing of a space station and individuals working on it in space suits.The same drawing, with the addition of certain descriptive phrases attached to identify certain parts of the space station, appeared in the October 13, 1969 New York Times, on

"There is, so far as we know, nothing more advanced than what is sitting behind your eyes. The human neocortex is the most densely ramified and complexified structure in the know universe. We are the cutting edge of organismic transformation of matter in the cosmos....We can kindle in hte deserts and, if necessary, upon the cities of our enemies the very energy which lights the stars at night."

"Billy Pilgrim says that the universe does not look like a lot of bright lights to the creatures from Tralfamadore. The creatures can see where each star has been and where it is going, so that the heavens are full of rarified, luminous spaghetti. And Tralfamadorians don't see human beings as two-legged creatures, either. They see them as great millipedes--"with babies' legs at one end and old

In it's edition of June 11, 1979, on page A-2, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner carried a story which questioned the authenticity of the Ayatollah Kohmeini. The article quoted a column by William Hickey in the London Express which included photographs of the Ayatollah Khomeini, which were taken when he was in France, showing that he had only nine fingers.

Once we had a guest speaker. His name was Frank. He told us that after God created Adam and Eve, and before the fall of man, everything was perfect. He said that when Adam and Eve ate food it was all digested. That means there would be no waste left over in their guts. This was the logic he used when he told us they had no buttholes. He called buttholes "bum-bums."
