It was December 10, 1996. I had just arrived in Arizona. I was a 23 year-old Egyptian woman who traveled from Cairo, Egypt to the small town of Sierra Vista. I hardly spoke English, but I landed a job as an Arabic instructor at the University of Arizona. I definitely felt like I did not deserve the job.
A Hug From Oscar
“You’re only 73. You’re much too young to be thinking about something like this.” It was his wife talking, and she sounded worried, as she had since the topic had first come up, as she had since she had first found the slim black notebook in which he had written the address of the clinic. “This is something that people in assisted living do, or even old folks in nursing homes. You’ve only been retired a few years.” She had made these points before, and -- perhaps realizing that he was not giving her his full attention -- she began to wander off and speak more to herself than her husband. “Some people want to relive some sort of sexual experience,” she said. “At least that you could understand.”

What you are about to read, you will not believe, but I can assure you that it’s absolutely true. I received a mysterious letter many years ago, and just like the one you received today, it instructed me to attend the office of Barker and Dean where you are now. They are the firm of solicitors who have dealt with our concerns for many years. They know of only three things; the money, the properties and the box.

It was a cold December day in 1935 in a small town in Colorado as the children played in the snow with big smiles on their faces. It seemed like any other day in the town, but things were about to change for one particular child.

"Am I allowed to love myself? screamed within my ears After countless cuts from life have bled throughout the years Where tongues have pierced everything, that once, I held so dear
The Ghost WriterPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe End Where We Meet
The trees start whispering one morning, like a chatter of teeth, as the National Guard trucks filter through the one-way street of Highborn Avenue. Tommy Finch watches with an unease making his stomach flutter, his breath fogging out each scant moment, and he wonders if his father has awoken from the latest blackout last night. He peels his eyes away and shakes his head before he ducks under the nearby cafe’s awning.

March 21st. It used to be the first day of spring, but the equinox has become increasingly shifty of late. (This year, in the northern hemisphere, spring starts on March 20th.)

So if you look at the traditional Zodiac Star chart I am a Sagittarius. However I am not one to be satisficed with being just one thing, so I look at all kinds of different star charts. For example: In the Celtic chart I am an Elder Tree, and also a Black Horse. In the Native American chart I am an Owl, and according to three different websites I could be one of two different Flowers: the Carnation or the Narcissus.

The spray of the tumultuous sea kissed the early morning air, leaving tiny pearls of water in its wake. Lucian Pax gently brushed the drops from the little black book nestled on his knees. He sharpened a pencil with a small knife as the sound of heavy boots halted at his back. Though Lucian remained the newest and youngest addition to the Empress crew, he had quickly become accustomed to Captain Ryke’s sovereign footfalls.

Time travel could be possible through pyramid technology And quantum computers I recently explored the work of Joe Parr. While reviewing his research Many new concepts started to emerge. Joe Parr’s research proved the Existence of “pyramid energy” and possibly even time travel. He did many Experiments; He found the Existence of anti gravity properties as the result of an orb that formed when the pyramid shape was spun on a centrifuge type device (a device that spins in a circle; normally used to separate blood samples and for medical procedures.) it was said this orb gave the pyramid the ability to become weightless and was in a quantum state. Mr. Parr also reported that the test pyramid could travel through Other solid objects; like the walls, or table. This all sounds fantastical, but it explained a lot for me.. I became inspired and I started to postulate the creation of a space craft that could operate on this technology and maybe even travel through time. Mr. Parr hypothesized a phenomenon he refers to as a ”pinch off” where the orb became impervious to gravity entirely and was at 100% opacity. While he never had enough energy to create a pinch off with the orb but he concluded the orb could be pushed by gravity depending on how the ions were polarized, therefore allowing an object to be directed, if you could control the ions.. ( I understand the concept of relatively and I am familiar with how speed can assist in traveling through time and with anti gravity capabilities the speeds could reach 1000 mph, which would essentially push you faster through time creating a time traveling situation.) Joe Parr states the existence of both positive and Negative ions that were captured by the orb, that the pyramid created when spun on a centrifuge. His research stated that they weren’t in equal numbers. (I did some research on quantum computing and found out that the state of the ions used could be positively charged or negatively charged or both at the same time. So the amount of positive or negative ions really wouldn’t effect the theory.) most quantum computers these days consist of ions packed together in one space in an ion trap. The use of a lot of ions is required for optimal computing, but the ions aren’t stable in large numbers and they communicate through their vibrations, so the new prototypes of today consist of individual cells or modules of ions communicating with photons instead of their vibrations, making it a more stable system of computing. These modules can be combined to make bigger quantum computers. The point of this paper is to bring a new method of quantum computing to the table and possibly even allowing for accurate time travel through pyramid technology. It occurred to me that a quantum computer or even a space craft probably couldn’t be possible with out proper manipulation of the ions, so I began to look into how we could control ions. I came across a research paper conducted by the national institute of science and technology in 2017. It proposes that scientist can now control ions and essentially tell them what to do by controlling how the ions are charged with the use of lasers guiding their tasks. It was noted that sometimes a qubit Or - charged atoms, can break down due to Interference from their Surrounding environment. Scientists can isolate these ions in an ion trap to stop them from being disrupted, but in my theory the orb that Joe Parr creates could act as a natural barrier or ion trap where the ions could be manipulated. If the ions are essential to the orb and the orb is essential for the anti gravity properties then it may be possible to create a space craft using all of this technology at once. You need the quantum computer to control the ions and the ions need enough inertia created by the spinning pyramid to create anti gravity. If you achieve anti gravity you could manipulate the ions to move in any direction. One problem that Mr. Parr encountered was the amount of inertia needed to create a dense enough orb wasn’t possible. They blew up a number of centrifuge motors due to excessive wear on the brushes inside the motors. If you used new brushless motor technology maybe from a Tesla car… you could exceed Joe Parr’s tests and get a full 2400 rpms consistently to get a full “pinch off”.
