HHAries and I went to see Jim Sparks talk about his alien abduction experiences last night. It was a very interesting 4 hour talk and even though HHAries is always extremely skeptical about these things, he found it interesting and says he enjoys going to these types of talks with me as it’s nice to see another point of view. I might write some more specifics on the talk later, but overall it was well worth the $30 per ticket for the most part. I’d definitely go again. Oh and they are putting together a group type thing to go to this place and try to communicate with aliens in a few weeks. I am so signing up.

W00t, we get to see a 2,000 mile long spaceship on October 14 according to psychic Blossom Goodchild. I’m not saying this couldn’t happen – I believe it could. What I do doubt is why aliens would possibly trust someone named Blossom Goodchild to carry the news. This is not meant to be an invasion, but a ‘them enlightening us’ event. Here is the video associated with the aliens’ arrival:

I think there are two outlooks on life – the viewpoint that everything in life has to be worked for and the viewpoint that life is easier than everyone wants us to think. While those who follow the first viewpoint may get further in life, I believe that many people would be much happier just sitting back and not stressing out about where you’ll be in ten years.

But really, we need to find a balance. If we really want something with all our hearts, we should probably be willing to fight and work for it. Anyone who’s on the extreme of the ‘life is easy’ view just tends to be lazy and hope that it will come to them (such as me). This isn’t a very productive outlook to have. Balance is key.

Apparently the universe might just be finite.

The universe might be rather small and spherical. Resembling a soccer ball and made up of pentagons. If a spaceship went in a straight line and right into one of the pentagons, it would come out on the other side of the universe, at the opposite pentagon.

It isn’t proven and is explained in greater detail in the articles I read (links below).
What I’m wondering is now is if this is actually true, what’s beyond the small spherical universe we’re in?

Pretty much everything we know has a beginning and an end, except for time. But how do we know time doesn’t eventually end anyway? We could go back to the pre-big-bang days. Maybe there was no time in the pre-big-bang days..maybe time was created with the big bang.

Then again, while physical things have beginnings and ends and often edges, things like seasons and life cycles do not. Winter goes to Spring to Summer to Autumn and back to Winter, over and over. And an animal is born and dies and fertilizes the ground, which eventually allows another animal to be born. Then again, we can see animals being born and dying and we can see the seasons changing. We can’t really see time, we just see its effects.

What if we didn’t have to keep track of time and could just take things as they come? Maybe other animals are like that, simpler ones. They don’t look a week ahead and don’t make plans, they just do what feels right in the moment. I guess that’s where instinct comes in useful. Their coats automatically get thicker for the Winter to keep them warm. Humans don’t have many instincts left…well, maybe we do, we just aren’t able to recognize them anymore. In some way I guess you could say we’re unevolving.

What about Deja Vu? That feeling you get of being in the exact same place, exact same situation, with the exact same things being said? If we dreamt about it beforehand, would that mean we surpassed the ‘laws’ of time in our dreams and seen into the future? Or do we just -think- we’ve experienced it before? Then how we sometimes predict what’s going to happen in the next second while having the feeling? We’re somehow stepping forward, forgetting about it, and only remembering when it actually happens.

My braincells hurt :(
