Turned 50 year of age last Sunday when the Patriots won the Superbowl. Great game. However, I am mindful that the big show is, for all intents and purposes, a business, and what might rightly be called bread and circuses. With this in mind, and it is a subject often on my mind, I was thinking about the state of society, the general consciousness, of people generally and how it got that way. The mechanisms of how things come to be perceived by large groups is a very interesting study. I found this article recently that might shed some light on how the modern American mind was formed, yes formed, managed, crafted you might say. I put this under the CT forum as it is indeed conspiratorial, not a theory mind you, but conspiracy facts. If you have not journeyed in this area of research previously, you may find what is in the article outlandish. Warning: Your beloved Beatles are not what they seem. Let's take a look.

I believe that you would like the Philosophical Implications of Multiverse Theory thread in Religion and Philosophy....... It seems that when a near death experiencer is shown glipses of a future...... the later the NDE... the more positive the future that they see tends to be..... Ariela Solsol Pereira had her NDE in 1967 and wow... but the future she saw was depressing...... Dannion Brinkley had his NDE in 1975.... and what he was shown was similar... but somewhat more hope was given...... Howard Storm had his NDE in 1985.... and again the future he was shown seemed somewhat more positive .... and many of the disasters shown to Dannion have been delayed at least twenty five years or so....... One explanation for this is that we are making some positive changes...... that are positively impacting the actual future that we live through.......
