My point was more NASA maybe isn't being deprived of funding - just its projects and the money to fund them are going into a different pot at least some of the time anyway |

I'm voting for triffids. They can really mess you up (unless you happened to get whacked by a juvenile specimen as a kid).
Triffids will end mankind! ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

And I'm not sure that Yellowstone is anywhere near on the scale of the Deccan eruptions. I would have to read up on it again, time permitting, but I have a feeling that Yellowstone is a baby by comparison. And is it due to a convection cell - is this different to a "hotspot", or is a hotspot caused by a convection cell?
These cells exist over the entire planet - see the excellent BBC series presented by Aubrey Manning, "Earth Story". Someone with more time on their hands might like to look the subject up to see if there are other areas of potential danger.
Fascinating stuff. |

Well, all the major faiths pretty much refer to us as already being blind/dead/asleep, or what the Hindu's refer to as being in a state of Avidya/Ignorance.
(Collosions 3:3)
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
ISLAM.
The Koran itself seems quite clear: "And you were dead, and He brought you back to life. And He shall cause you to die, and shall bring you back to life, and in the end shall gather you unto Himself." (2:28).
Buddhism
Avidyā (Sanskrit; Pāli: avijjā; Tibetan phonetic: ma rigpa) is commonly translated as "ignorance" or "delusion".
Hinduism
He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is like one who wanders all over the world in a dream. Thus, realizing the Self would only be like waking up from the dreamwanderings.
Sri Ramana Maharshi (December 30, 1879 – April 14, 1950)
******************************************
Blind - forgetful - Perhaps due to being at enmity or UN-repentant
◄ Matthew 13:13 ►
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
◄ Psalm 135:16 ►
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
15. He who sees the universe may try to deny it. What has the desireless to do? He sees not even though he sees.
ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII – P136
◄ Mark 8:18 ►
Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?
◄ First Epistle, John 2 ►
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
****************************************
And could we be mistaken or are we being miss-led when trying to figure out how B comes from A?
In The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, Charles writes:
"When we descend to details we can prove that no one species has changed, nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory. Nor can we explain why some species have changed and others have not. The latter case seems to me hardly more difficult to understand precisely and in detail than the former case of supposed change"
''I know one thing that i know nothing''
Socrates
"To this day, the mystery of why evolution didn't get rid of monkeys upon creating us remains one of the biggest challenges to evolutionary theory."
Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist
He told the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, that he preferred to call himself an agnostic rather than an atheist.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/9102740/Richard-Dawkins-I-cant-be-sure-God-does-not-exist.html
Even Sir Isaac Newton became a Christian.
https://www.ctlibrary.com/ch/1991/issue30/3038.html
I mean, if we evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, (General estimate – 200,000), why does the story keep changing?
Man found in Palastine 400,000 years ago (Homosapien)
https://gizadeathstar.com/2012/02/man-in-palestine-400000-years-ago/
Also, in equivalent and relevant terms of time, why have we technologically evolved over the equivalent to 5 days?
HERE'S THE MATHS!
Lets say 30 years for modern technology.
So: 30 years Multiplied by 10 Divided by 400,000 years = 0.00075
So 30 years is 0.00075% of 400,000 years
Now 365 days in a year Multiplied by 400,000 = 146000000 Days.
0.00075 Divided by 146000000 = 5.1 Days.
So in equivalent and relevant terms of time, we have technologically evolved in the last 5 Days.
Yet:
In Lebanon - The ruins of Baalbek, according to Arabs said to have been built by a tribe of Giants for the Biblical King Nimrod consists of rocks no modern Crane can lift today.
The history of settlement in the area of Baalbek dates back about 9,000 years.
https://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/AbAeterno123/baalbek_9_zpsdd453079.jpg
And over 2,000 years ago Archimedes had worked out the solar system (287 BC – c. 212 BC) https://www.antikythera-mechanism.com/
As for evidence: There is a history of lying to and enslaving spiritual tribes on this planet (Back to the Nephilim Giants of which ancient technologies and celestial worship/human sacrifices were alleged to have derived)
From 1379 BC The Heretic Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) circumscribes the minds of the masses with monotheistic delusion, Aten the Sun God was prophesied to be the main deity and used to take on Tuthmosis IV. Soon after Akhenaten become pharaoh of Egypt. (Persecuted the Israelite's)
Pyramids in South America and Africa, celestial worship like Stone Henge and Tiwanaku, Human sacrifices and the depiction of giants seems common place all around the world. https://southamerica2up.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/tiwanaku-another-lost-empire/
Samaria (Today Iraq) https://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i395/AbAeterno123/AnnunakiGiants_zps73c2e2be.jpg
Why did the Aztecs like the Egyptians have pyramids, yet the Indians of North America did not? Which incidentally were later wiped out by European satanic Imperialism - later finished by politics. (Andrew Jackson's 1830 Rapacious Indian Removal Act)
What's with the Astrological Clock in Strasbourg where political meetings are held?
The God of this world is a liar - The stage is a lie, from the individual to reality it's self - (Mentality and spirituality being fused)
Satan tends to claim the stage: (Idolatry and lasciviousness/wanton lewd) - (Epistle to Jude 1:4)
The stage is controlled - Organizational monogamy, Bureaucracy, Officialdom, Politics, Law, Banking, Media.
This has been interpreted both as where we are in God, perhaps in the world and of the world,
Where I am, there God is, and then I am in God, and where God is, there I am.
Meister Eckhart.
And/or being the spiritual ascension of the God of this world.
Matthew, 23
4. They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people's shoulders, but will they lift a finger to move them? Not they!
5. Everything they do is done to attract attention, like wearing broader headbands and longer tassels,
6. like wanting to take the place of honour at banquets and the front seats in the synagogues,
7. being greeted respectfully in the market squares and having people call them Rabbi.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. (Revelation Chapter 3:9)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The devil marched with Rome.
They Murdered Archimedes who worked out the solar system over 2,000 years ago (287 BC – c. 212 BC) https://www.antikythera-mechanism.com/
Closed down Greek schools of philosophy and popularized Law, officialdom and capitalism (Paradigms which have since driven prime market slave trades, modern Industrialism and Warfare)
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance by Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth.
With the march of Rome this affected the Torah: (Old Testament)
Deuteronomy 23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest.
20 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
= The stage is controlled - Organizational monogamy, Bureaucracy, Officialdom, Politics, Law, Banking, Media. (Might just as well be in covenant with the perambulating Pantheon Gods of Rome/This world)
*******************************************
The stage it's self - reality
When we read of the "world" in the New Testament, we are reading the Greek word cosmos. Cosmos most often refers to the inhabited earth and the people who live on the earth, which functions apart from God. Satan is the ruler of this "cosmos" (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19).
The 4 Veda's written in Sanskrit around 3500 years ago gave rise to Hinduism which teaches about Maya ~ The Malevolent illusion, and Samsara ~ Mechanical Karma REALITY! - The outer Kingdom, empirical knowledge, sin/flesh, and according to early Christian gnosticism - "Seraphims" Keter - Crown Divine Plan ~ The Angel of Death. (Read John 7:7)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein.
"Nothing is as it seems. Nor is it otherwise."
Lankavatara Sutra - Mahāyāna Buddhism
There is no greater mystery than this; that being the reality we seek to gain reality.
Sri Ramana Maharshi (December 30, 1879 – April 14, 1950)
Islam.
The Surah takes its title from the sentence, Wa anzalna' l-hadida, of verse 25.
(A study of its subject matter)
https://www.englishtafsir.com/Quran/57/
Surah Al-Hadid (its title meaning, 'the iron') talks about the reality of the transient life of this world.
Hinduism.
In which this universe like a snake on a rope imagined appears.
Bliss-Supreme Bliss: That: Consciousness you are happily live.
The universe is endlessly going through creation and dissolution. But that does not affect the Self. The Self is beyond time and causation. Creation and dissolution are in time. In reality nothing else exists. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XV – P98
15. He who sees the universe may try to deny it. What has the desireless to do? He sees not even though he sees. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII – P136
Self-Knowledge is the basis of our true being. The ignorant do not have it, and hence they are so called. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII - P150
*****************************************
And consciousness
The Supreme is within us. It is the consciousness underlying the ordinary individualized consciousness of every-day life but incommensurable with it. The two are different in kind, though the Supreme is realizable by one who is prepared to lose his life in order to save it. For the most part we are unaware of the self in us because our attention is engaged by objects which we like or dislike. We must get away from them, to become aware of the Divine in us.
The Bhagavadgita:
Chapter 6, Verse 5.
Two of the 4 Veda's, dated 1500 BCE translated from Sanskrit as a transliteration by Ramana Maharshi “Tat Tvam Asi” in English is “That Thou Art”, and Prajnanam Brahma (Consciousness is Brahman)
“Thou art That”
Chandogya Upanishad
The Torah also revealed to Moses around 3500 years ago teaches about The Sefirot: Keter (Crown) which are described as Angels! Proximity to the divine super-conscious of the soul.
In Hinuism this is interpreted as - Sat Chit Ananda – Truth Consciousness Bliss (Moksha - Liberation)
Christianity – Heaven (One with Christ)
So to expound on the above paragraph:
And again, all the major faiths refer to us the children as being blind/dead/asleep, or what the Hindu's refer to as being in a state of Avidya/Ignorance.
The eye of literal sight and logical brain may ratiocinate heaven to be a place where we all live happily ever after. (Somewhere above the clouds perhaps) A sin free place of happiness and eternal love, yet the major faiths refer to this as a realm of being - An awaking, a realization of a perhaps forgotten existence.
In Hinuism - Sat Chit Ananda – is Truth Consciousness Bliss (Moksha - Liberation)
Christianity – Heaven (One with Christ)
In the Zohar, the greatest kabbalistic work, the Torah is interpreted in reference to the Sefirot - They are Keter (Crown) proximity to the divine super-conscious of the soul.
1 Beyond etc. -beyond the relative world which is a mixture of existence and non-existence. The world is said to be existent as it is perceived in ordinary consciousness, but to be non-existent as it is lost in super-consciousness. Knowing the nature of the world, the man of Knowledge is quite unconcerned with it. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XVIII – P138
--------------------------------------
So I think the question is more likely to be; "What is real, and who is "I"
"When shall I be free?
When 'I' shall cease to be."
Sri Rama Krishna - Gospel p100
"No one shall see me and live"
Exodus 33:13
Jesus said:
◄ John 10:30 ►
I and the Father are one."
----------------------------------------
The ego always tells us who and where we are.
The Ghagavad Gita has stressed this point again and again. It teaches you just one thing, to shed the thought of "I" in such matters. A person who has risen above the three gunas should appear to the world to be a cipher, a mere stone. That is, he should have got rid of his "I".
But when can one be in such a state? Shri Rajchandra sings, "When the body has become as the burnt rope." That should be our condition. When a rope is burnt, only its form remains, and none of its other properties survive. Such a rope may be said to have risen above the three gunas, for it no longer has the property in virtue of which it can be used for connecting or binding things or drawing water from a well.

Of course it means nothing when you can't see, you probably chose to kill your brother by joining some organization anyway.
Only we know our skellingtons? (Our inadvertence is death)
It's our sin that blinds us, even though we think we can see (This is our spiritual mirror) Watch the Lord of the Rings again.
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
It was a personal experience which promoted my search.
Keep on watching Collin Fry with the public sector workers, city sharks and retired social workers, he'll tell you everything you want to know.
(I've told you what the all major faiths say about the stage and those who claim the stage)
Anyway, I've added a couple of lines on reality and made some changes to the question "Who is "I"
And this dude is within, he's in the mirror, which is why we can run but we can't hide.
Only we know who's riding him and who's being ridden by him, don't we?
