Been thinking of late about spiritual things. I've been doing a lot of research on UFOs and some on ghosts. Recently I heard, or read that Men in Black may be a spiritual manifestation of dark entities. Therefore, possibly, a good part of, if not all of the UFO phenomenon may be a spiritual deception. In that it is not a real UFO - ET thing, but spiritual beings deceiving us. Why? To divert our attention on something other than the truth. And the truth is? Well, if spiritual beings are trying to distract us with something "physical", could the truth involve something spiritual that we need to know. Christianity? Buddhism? Islam? I don't know. There is so much about this world that we don't know. There are strange beings that seem to come and go, that we can't explain.
For a few years now I have been interested in finding out what's the nature of this reality, this plane we live on, or in. Maybe there are other planes of existence, other realities that intersect it from time to time. Some are convinced of it, having seen those intersections, if you will. Ghost stories and the like can give us an insight.
Currently I am at the place where I am asking, how can I nourish the Spirit. There's lots of information on nourishing the body, but we are also Spirit, and that needs to be attended to as well. How to best do that?
Hopefully I will be able to post the things I embark on and the things I find out. I have a lot of thoughts that swirl through my head, if I can put them down in a coherent pattern, I will try.

This is an odd one for me. Last Monday I went to the dentist for the first time in 25 years or so. There was good news and bad news; good news, my teeth are in pretty good shape, bad news, my gums are not.
About a year ago, one of my bottom teeth began coming loose. I've learned how to eat with out biting. I eat everything with utensils, even pizza, a little odd, but it works. I haven't missed much.
Basically, the dentist told me three other teeth are coming loose also, so they will have to come out. (sigh), I kinda thought maybe that was a possibility. So I'll have a four-tooth bridge in the bottom of my mouth when everything is said and done.
Sometimes I thought, if I let things go far enough, I'll just have 'em all pulled and get dentures, what the hell? Part of this could have probably been avoided if I had seen the dentist regularly, but money and insurance was a bit of a problem for a while. Be that as it may, people younger than me have worse problems with their teeth. Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how things go.
On a better note: I've finally figured out how to put graphics into this blog. Took me long enough. Thank you Google images. Now I can go back and put pics into some, most, all of my blog posts and make them more interesting? Here's a hook...keep checking back. Monday starts the blog for a week challenge, we'l see how it goes.

Lately I've been wanting to blog about something. I've had lots of ideas, some of them good. But I forget about them when I get in front of the computer, (frustrating).
Today is Super Tuesday, 10 states have primaries. As I am writing this, Alaska hasn't even begun reporting yet. Each candidate has their strengths and weaknesses. The problem I see is that Washington has its own agenda and any candidate, when they get elected, will have to conform to the ways of Washington. Promises mean very little once you get in that culture and office.
Almost since it came out, and was available, I have been a part of Google+. I like it, it's like Facebook but different, a Google different. Anyways, I've picked up on a photography circle that has a lot of talent in it and I am always reminded of my own love of photography, and how I have missed it. Right now the only camera I have is my cellphone. It's ok, but quirky, as most cellphones are I guess. Maybe I should check out better camera apps for my phone.
Since it's 2012 there's a lot of talk of the 2012 Mayan Prophecy, what will happen on 12-20-2012? As for me, I'll keep it in mind, see what happens, I think that's all I can do. How many raptures have been predicted and come and gone?
Well I will have to work on topics for the future and put them together in a coherent fashion for the future. Thanks for reading and being patient.

Politics, Finances, and Conspiracy Theories
I have been trying to keep up on the news, particularly about the financial health of the nation. And lately, things don't look good. Things don't look good in a lot of places, most, if not all of Europe as well.
It seems odd to the untrained eye that both the US and Europe are in the same trouble. But thinking back to the '08 financiial/banking problems, they started with the selling of the mortgage-backed securities and derivatives, etc. in the US and went to Europe, so now they have come to more fruition and affected both our economies.
The other thing that is making me wonder, and bothering me, is that those who believe in conspiracy theories think that the corporations have gotten so big an powerful that they own a lot of influence and can buy anything they want. What they want is control. Control of us, and control of the planet. This can be accomplished by controlling the politicians. So the elections mean very little if anything. The theorists think, and have some proof that the corporations that control so much of what goes on in the world are run in part by some very powerful families, some tied to shadowy organizations.

Okay, first post with the new interface on Blogger. Not bad, it'll work for now.
Lately, I've been hit up side the head with some reality that I thought I could keep in the background. That reality comes under the heading of conspiracy theories. In a nutshell the world as we know it is not the world in reality. The reality is quite different and frightening. Think of "The Matrix' and 'Enemy of the State' movies, and you get the idea.
There is a YouTube clip of George Carlin titles "Nobody Cares About You". It's a little bit funny but it's more true than funny. In recent years I had been keeping track of websites that kept track of those sorts of things, Alex Jones and Vigilant Citizen are two of them.
On the radio I listen to talk radio, conservative in nature, of course. I don't have faith in the political system anymore, the things they say and do don't make sense. There's something else going on. If the conspiracy theories are close to true, then that seems to give the lawmakers some rational for their irrational behavior. They have an agenda. They are part of a bigger plan, they are working to enact a agenda of global proportions. They are not working for we the people, or for themselves, but for another cause. Maybe there is something to the Illuminati and the Freemasons and all that other stuff.

Birthday and conspiracy theories
So today is my birthday, all of 54 years. That seems like a lot to me, and it doesn't. Google gave me a nice little birthday greeting when I logged in, thank you Google.
Lately, I have been looking at websites that come under the category of conspiracy theory; global conspiracy and all that. Interesting stuff, at times depressing, but still, I have to say that there may be something to them.
Looking at them in light of Biblical prophecy it gets more interesting.
As I have mentioned before, I have departed from evangelical Christianity to figure things out on my own. My own being, apart from the group think of a church. Looking at what some say in the conspiracy world and what the Bible says in its prophecy parts I can see how the two might fit together. Or maybe what the Bible writers were trying to say.
Also, the way world events are unfolding and how some people have knowledge of what is going on, what it means and who is behind it, make some things that are stated in the Bible more plausible.
One fellow I have come across; Max Igan, is very well versed on global conspiracy theories. More than well versed, he knows pretty much what is going on who is responsible and why. To hear him lay out the whole scenario is pretty scary. His website is; thecrowhouse.com. Very interesting stuff. More on this later.

Mat 21st Update
Well time is marching on. I've seen a few things online about the May 21st deadline for the beginning of the end of the world. Not much else. Just an article from a Bible scholar, who said that about half of the New Testament was forged. Maybe not made up, but written by people other than who they said they were. Interesting timing on that.
I was writing this as an update thing, keeping track of what was going on with the rapture story. But, I haven't done a very good job of keeping up with it, and now it is a day after the "fact".
Well, the "fact" never happened. No rapture or anything. And as with all before who have said the world was going to end on a certain day, nothing happened. Followers were and still are confused. Nothing has been heard from the man who made the prediction; Harold Camping. He made a similar prediction back in 1994 and then too, nothing happened.
Following the comments on the articles, most of the people made fun of him and his followers. It's an easy thing to do, he looks silly. His followers look silly for making a spectacle of themselves. I feel sorry for them and wonder how they could let themselves get taken in. I mean, these people seem intelligent, they have jobs and families, that really puzzles me. Are they really so committed to following one man and his crazy ramblings that they check in their brains and common sense?
For some people, I think religion can be a dangerous thing. For example; the Jonestown folks who drank the Kool-aide, the Branch Davidians in Waco Texas, and the followers of the guy who wanted to be a Mormon prophet. Can't think of his name now. But they all lost something really important, their lives. All for religion, to belong to something. Then, as now, I still don't get it.
