Where Are You Going?
Salutations, Earthling. I come in peace. I see that all is not well on this beautiful, delicate planet at this time. I see lies, manipulations, bondages, shame; beings treating other beings horrifically. There is greed and excess, scarcity, poverty and suffering.

‘Turtles all the way down’ is the idea that Earth rests on the back of a giant turtle, which rests on the back of a larger turtle, which rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on, all the way down to infinity. This concept, or belief (however you see it), is a demonstration of the knowledge problem of infinite regress — an infinite series of things that depend on an infinite series of predecessors that go beyond the realm of proof. Infinite regress is the child ever asking ‘why?’ where the answers inevitably run out before the questions.
Jacopo MuliniPublished 11 months ago in FuturismWhat is existentialism?
It is, perhaps, a challenge to try and define existentialism, as the definition may vary depending on who you ask. There have been many philosophers throughout the centuries that shared their views and thoughts on this subject, some of them differed, but they all had one thing in common: hunger for answers.

Rainbow Vortex
The year 2044 Post-apocalyptic earth where cyborgs outnumber the human race. The majority of humans became engulfed with the dependency of technology, distracted, living in an illusion of a utopian society. When in fact it was slowly but surely turning into the exact opposite. The agenda of the darkness was to have complete mind control over humanity shifting earth into a slave planet. Where the consciousness of humanity was uploaded into a mass centralized hard drive. The plan from the very beginning was to instill fear, causing civilization to give up free will and hand it to the darkness on a silver platter. A combination of fear, brainwashing, repeating unwarranted propaganda, and distraction was a perfect recipe to complete their diabolical plan. The darkness knew the outcome, for their frequency was unable to increase to where we were heading. Therefore, they did everything possible to keep humanity in a low-frequency state.

This is Enough
Maria sits on the former east bank of the Mississippi River, looking west. The sun is about gone over the horizon shining a late streak of light on a faded memory. She thinks of the last time water flowed here. Her father would take her to this spot as a child and tell her of the endless barges and tugs traveling up and down the mighty waterway. As the years went on and the drought persisted, the level became so low that only a kayak could float the stream, she remembers her father telling her. Finally, it became as it is now, a marshy meadow with rivulets forming when a light rain does at times manage to fall.

The There
Turmoil settles – gripping. Undiscovered and resistant. The unfortunate, unaccompanied. Today will arrive, with us – left out.

Family Bond
My mother gave me that heart-shaped locket. I kept it around my neck and squeezed it of its life. I laid on my back below the surface and listened to the sound of horns blasting in the distance. It was insane; I did not ever anticipate the darkness around me becoming a hell of nothing but solitude.

How to Decipher Dreams
For a very long time humans have tried to find meaning in dreams. Why did we dream? Did they have any meanings? Were they prophetic? Are they truly just random?
The Ancient Art and Sacred Science of Stalking Synchronicity
Perhaps some of you will be familiar with the concept of 'the language of the world' from Paulo Coelho's famous classic The Alchemist, which really is one of the most beautiful narrative stories I have ever come across - particularly the prologue featured in the 25th anniversary edition, a short story that articulates a theme which is ubiquitous throughout the book. The first time I ever read The Alchemist, it was because of a series of odd coincidences which prompted me to pay it attention.

Snow begins to fall. Falling slowly like in a dream, and when it hits the ground it keeps falling, sinking a little into the grass as if the earth embarrassed by her creation was trying to swallow it whole.

Psychometry: The ability to perceive the past by touching an object
Do you or someone you know have the ability to touch an object and feel you know something about it? If so, you, or they, may be operating in Psychometry. This word comes from the Greek psukhē, which means "spirit, or soul" and μέτρον, which is metron, or "measure". It is also known as psychos copy or token-object reading. This is a form of extrasensory perception that has been characterized as perceiving a truth by touching an object. There have been television shows where psychics hold a photo and can tell how the person died. Those who support psychometry assert that an object's past history.
