science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.

This is a story of a beast, no, not that one. This individual will be intense, yet low-key, he will demand complete submission, yet publicly he will appear as docile as a dove. He's been with us all along; loved, respected, cheered, adored. Crowds flock to him, audiences quiver in their seats, longing to hear all he has to say. Presidents, kings and queens, leaders, dictators, they all succumb to his whims. How he rose to this place is a mute point, the fact of the matter, is that he is a tyrant. In a not too distant future, this beast will rise to a position of ultimate authority, he will command governments and armies. Through the force of his indomitable will, he has all his orders carried out without question, without delay. Those he commands will carry out the duties he assigns them. They will be ordained with the blessings of the holy church to transgress the laws of the church, setting themselves as the highest authority.

⚠️ WARNING! Do Not Go Into The Light!
What if I told you that upon death no matter who you're greeted by and no matter what they tell you, do not head into the light. What you do now may save you a lifetime or two. So remain calm and seek further counsel once they go through their speech. Again the important thing is to remain calm, and don’t get lost in your emotions. I get a chill writing this. With an upcoming Matrix movie on the horizon, something in my gut tells me it’s the perfect time to write an article explaining The Reincarnation Trap and how it connects to The Matrix's version of Simulation Theory.

The Land of Zabeth
The land of Zabeth welcomes all. All that feel weary, undeserving, and impaired to concepts of accepting greatness. The land welcomes you. Those that need help with accepting the fears and dread caused by the daily things of what’s broadcasted to the public. Here in the lands we never situate the wickedness the earth gave off. Although our morals, values, and will for fulfillment are the same we have chains in the energy to prevent violent, harmful, and hateful ways from excelling into existence.

Space what lies beyond our world
In all the battles of what’s better Star Trek or Star Wars it’s never been much of a competition. Both stories are great and unable to be compared. Being a Child of the 80s I knew the world of imagination quite well. I have the wildest Thoughts of talking creatures, aliens and the magic within it and surrounding us in the universe. Star Trek was first introduced to me by my neighbor when I was about 4 or 5 years old. It was so fun and imaginative giving me such inspiration and hope for the future to see and meet these interesting creatures in all their uniqueness. I enjoyed the Imaginative nature a lion witch and the wardrobe due to the interesting nature of walking through wardrobe into a whole new world. This was nothing in comparison to Star Trek which took me to many new worlds and introduced me to so many awesome characters and creatures, all within the confines of my bed.

Take Off Your Helmet
An oversized space helmet sits atop a five-year-old boy’s head while his arms are folded across his chest. The boy’s legs dangle at the edge of a large lounge chair about a foot above the floor. Two adults sit on a loveseat a few feet facing the child. “I’m Mr. Wright, and this is my wife, Mrs. Wright. I was a friend of your father. Your father asked if something happened to him that we would be your guardians. You know something happened; you saw it. We will be your new parents.” The somber explanation to the boy does not move him. Benjamin sits there, hiding any emotion that he might have under that oversized space helmet.

Guardians: Prologue
Ever since I was a child, things have been a little strange for me. Even before the Briggs academy, I was involved with the military. My “parents”, Christopher and Faren Brown, were Navy engineers through and through. Stubborn, strong, and dead set on helping others; right to the end. I was never truly their son, yet from the moment they found me; they took me in and cared for me as if I was their own.

A'tuin Your World
So many worlds, so little time! I thought I wouldn't be able to pick one as the best, but after a few days of reading over Piers Anthony, Mercedes Lackey, Ursula K. LeGuin, and so on I then laid my eyes on Terry Pratchett and it all clicked into place.

Is it possible that we are living in a simulation?
Is our planet, the cosmos and everything in it realistic? Is the universe nothing more than a hologram, a projection of 2D fields and parameters? Or are we living in a computer simulation of a higher civilisation in terms of cognition and technology? People have been arguing this subject for ages and science fiction has infinite variations on this premise.

Control
I am lost in my computer and my computer is lost in my body. My mind is controlled by a series of commands and demands that are keeping me alive. I'm not sure what it all means but I just go on living in a rut of routinely obeying the commands that are put into my mind. So I ask the question am I my own person or am I a person who is driven by a driver that is someone other than myself?
