ROBINSON: …But there’s what is sometimes called the “techno-utopianism” of Silicon Valley, which often you posit as totally unrealistic—we’re going to merge with machines and upload our consciousness and do things we don’t know how to do.

But these other things you cover, which we do know how to do, are utopian, crazy, and unrealistic.

GHODSEE: Exactly. It’s like the Coalition for Radical Life Extension, these people out in Silicon Valley who are basically trying to be immortal.

If you’re talking about universal health care, that’s totally utopian, but immortality is totally feasible. It’s a really weird double standard that tech bros and billionaires and Saudi princes get to dream up cities in the desert or like this new plan for a utopian city in Solano County in Northern California, but the rest of us are just going to be stuck with a housing crisis and homelessness. Why can’t ordinary people dream in a way that imagines a better future, rather than just constantly ceding this territory of blue sky thinking to the tech bros and the billionaires and the Saudi princes who have the means, at least theoretically, to realize those dreams?

An eon-spanning epically creative work of visionary alternate history, The Great Being is a sprawling parable about the powerful forces behind our interconnected existence. Blending realms of historical, religious, spiritual, and mythological traditions, this is an ambitious and epically creative read, offering a wide-reaching and insightful assessment of human civilization and behavior. This frequently profound novel is a singularly unique and eye-opening work of visionary fiction.

Review: The Great Being by Bill Harvey ★★★★

The Power of Words

After a sad loss I became my own publishers titled: the Power of Words

Becoming my own publisher. After my dear soul mate of 22 years, Robin Beck, my publisher and the love of my life, passed from this physical reality, I asked for guidance, especially to finish my soul purpose project, writing about our awakening to our ascension through the genre of visionary fiction. My years of research took me on several roller coasters with many different beliefs surrounding…

I didn't touch on it in the video, but cost barriers are also a big issue in the MTG community. I know a lot of people who would love to play more magic or play different formats of magic but are unable to afford to engage with the game in the wats they want due to the artificial scarcity of expensive cards

Communication without words, the merging of two souls - in love, in anger, in the desire to know each other and to express themselves. Something I love to draw over and over again - unity, symmetry, connection and symbolism ~

Vaerafes (my fantasy/alien species) communicate by touching their feelings, sharing information, energy - the electricity that flows in their bodies. This is the song of their souls, the pulse of emotion and thought, the empathic dance of the contact of one living mind with another. The magic of communication.

I tried to draw this process itself and how it feels, in the form of something surreal. Intuitively, but based on how the Vaerafes themselves perceive and visualize these feelings and sensations.

These are animated versions of my drawings, and this was my first attempt to show these energy flows in motion. I animated them in Blender, and I'd like to try to do something similar again... someday!

Mind Wars & Transhumanism

First, you need to know that it is not inferior to be in the third dimension. Everyone has a different spiritual journey, and every dimension is here to teach us a lesson. It’s all about the perception of thinking that decides what happens in reality.

What are Mind Wars? Mental wars have been happening for thousands not hundreds of years. The mind wars that are happening now throughout the world and shown on TV, media & Social media, but it’s NOT real! Most if not all what we lately see is made-up propaganda to trap viewers into believing that their government and mainstream media have their best interests at heart. They want to STOP…
