My Sweet Heaven

, , , ...

What would your personal Heaven be like? :D

Interesting question! :sherlock:

First, set the environment to a natural green and colorful place with a mild range of temperatures and weather, surrounded be various interesting and challenging environments with exciting and dangerous aspects.

Inhabit the location with people and wildlife that are peaceful, varied and interesting. Inhabit nearby locations with other kinds of interesting and possibly dangerous people and wildlife.

Provide activities involving both mental and physical effort. Include various animal and vegetable lifeforms which are edible and nutritious. Perhaps some effort would be needed to obtain these and prepare them in gourmet styles.

Enable 'Out of Body' travel to any time or place that can be imagined with the possibility to temporarily inhabit the mind and body of the human beings who reside there, or enable the creation of a new body to inhabit if that is the norm for a particular environment.

Provide others people with whom close loving relationships can exist. Link the 'Out of Body' flight paths so that these 'soul mates' can visit interesting places together and enjoy challenging and emotional experiences together.

Provide 'Out of Body Flight Manuals and Brochures' before and during 'OoB' adventures that give some clues about how to behave in the chosen environments. These could be found be looking for media upon arrival with names such as 'Bible,' 'Koran.' 'Pearl of Great Price,' 'Book of Mormon,' 'Talmud,' 'Tales of Solomon,' or for the more adventurous 'OoB' traveler, 'Star Wars,' 'The Roman Empire,' 'History of the Ages,' 'A Clockwork Orange,' 'The Time Machine,' or 'War of the Worlds,' etc. etc.

Enable internal 'Self Homing' abilities which will help to focus the 'OoB' back to the true meaning of life, if the 'OoB' traveler gets too involved with the adventure and forgets who, what, and where he really is. Use common names such as 'Prayer,' 'Meditation,' and 'Wisdom,' so that the stresses inherent in any adventure can be relieved when necessary.

Provide a warm and loving return lounge which is very brightly lit so that it can easily be found by returning 'OoB' travelers. Include announcements for all friends and family of the return of an 'OoB' traveler so that they may go to meet them upon arrival. This will reduce the shock of transitioning back to the true reality after experiencing whatever adventure they have been through. Place some reminders of this 'Return Lounge' in several areas of each adventure locality with names such as 'The Light at the End of the Tunnel,' or simply 'The Bright Light.'

Allow the creation of 'Special Interest Groups' for those who are interested in developing skills in particular areas such as music, mathematics, communications and languages, transportation systems, education, scientific invention, or the like so that personal interests and abilities can be shared both in Heaven, and when group members wish to engage in a group outing via 'Group Out of Body Fairs.'

Enable 'Eternal Life' but provide the ability to change the outward appearance of each person so that they can try on sexual and physical attributes before venturing out on an 'OoB' adventure.

;-D Obviously this has nothing to do with the real Heaven and any similarities to the real Heaven are purely coincidental. No infringement of copyright should be presumed by the copyright owner should He happen to read this! :yikes: The End?



You have to see this.

Hello friends
I found this on another site and it is too cool!
Enjoy!



Someone asked how this illusion works... here is my guess:
The most acute sight in the eye is in the area called the macula. In that area are the most cells which can show both color and detail. The cones and rods of the eyes contain photo-sensitive chemicals. The chemicals undergo very (very) fast reactions when they react to photons. Still they are chemicals which need constant variety to keep a balance. When one color is constantly received, the chemical is not maintained in a normal balance. The cell's photo receptors which are NOT activated by the repetitive color recover faster and report a false image to the brain. The macula has enough receivers to keep up with the color signal when you follow the color around the circle. When you look at the center, the cells outside the macula are reporting and there are not enough of them to keep up with the color overload. They gradually run out of the photo chemical and stop reporting the signal. Their recovery rate is a little slower than the rate of the rotating color signal.

Compare this one and notice that more of the rotating spot is within the macula region of the eye and the illusion is slighly different.
