Theories
__Remote viewing is a fact of life. And I am going to uncover it's secret and learn how to use it at full force.
__Claims of governmental cover-up are almost pivotal to UFOs or the Martian Face. Assuming that there is an element of truth, why? The popular assumption is that 'The Powers That Be' know a lot, but are worried about how the rest of us mere mortals would react to the Truth About Alien Contact. The worst case scenarios involve religious hysteria (is there any other kind?), mass panic (ditto), collapsing economies (hmmm), and loss of governmental control (!!!). So, evidence is concealed and witnesses are intimidated, all under the banner of national security. But, despite being organized enough to supposedly keep a lid on every government on this planet (think on that for a minute), the UFO cover-up is very slipshod. UFOs are "officially" explained away as Venus (not in the sky), clouds (doing u-turns), meteors (landing and taking off again), flocks of birds (with windows and solid metallic exteriors), spots before the eyes (detected on radar), and conventional aircraft (with unconventional capabilities). Nowadays, the popular response to such explanations is skepticism at best. Maybe this is part of 'The Plan'. Use propaganda that will reassure the hard-core skeptics, but actively provoke everybody else. In the process, we are gradually acclimatized to the concept of Alien Contact. If / When 'The Truth' finally comes out (UFO landing at the UN, Grey skeletons found under the Sphinx, live TV broadcast of Cydonia's 'City', etc.) most of us may consider it anti-climactic. Perhaps even boring.
__Why is it that some of us have the ability to blow bubbles of our tongues and others don't? I myself have the ability, but therefore everyone should. It's only scientific. Same as anything else you want to achieve, you just have to form the solution and apply it to whatever you want to do. Now if only I could find the method of lifting on eyebrow.
__perhaps words are only the begining of time itself, and maybe if everyone's use of vision is different, then time will never go anywhere. Suppose you are told that a color is red, and you believe it, because it is what you are taught, only your eyes see it as a normal blue. Would it still be red? or would it be blue? And how is it that a blind person can see color? Many have the ability to see a color when it is held up in front of them. So if words can be changed in ones brain because they do not have the same visual aspect as the one teaching, is it really happening the same way? If I was taught that a door is a door, but when i was a child I saw it as an elephant but have since trained my brain to see it as a door, is it even there? does any of it even exist?!

Veganism Despite the common belief that drinking milk or eating eggs does not kill animals, commercially-raised dairy cows and egg-laying chickens, whether factory-farmed or "free range", are slaughtered when their production rates decline. The same factory farm methods that are used to produce most meats are also used to produce most milk and eggs.These cows and chickens live their short lives caged, drugged, mutilated, and deprived of their most basic freedoms. On U.S. farms, an average of 7 egg-laying hens spend their entire lives in a battery cage with a floor area the size of a vinyl record cover. Living on wire floors that deform their feet, in cages so tiny they cannot stretch their wings, and covered with excrement from cages above them, these chickens suffer lameness, bone disease, and obsessive pecking, which is curbed by searing the beaks off young chicks.Although chickens can live up to 15 years, they are usually slaughtered when their egg production rates decline after two years. Hatcheries have no use for male chicks, so they are killed by suffocation, decapitation, gassing, or crushing. As with any mammal, cows produce milk only when pregnant and stop after their calves have been weaned. When a dairy cow delivers a female calf, the calf becomes a dairy cow herself, born to live in the same conditions as her mother. But when a dairy cow delivers a male calf, the calf is sold to a veal farm within days of birth, where he is tethered to a stall, deprived of food and exercise, and soon slaughtered for meat. Life is only a few years longer for the mother. Because it is unprofitable to keep cows alive once their milk production declines, dairy cows are usually slaughtered at 5 years of age. Thus, a cow's normal lifespan of 25 years is cut 20 years short just to cut costs and maximize production. Today's farms are not like the ones most of us learned about in school; they are mechanized factories where an animal's welfare is of little concern compared to profit. Veganism emerges as the lifestyle most consistent with the philosophy that animals are not ours to use.!
