I promised it...it's time to deliver.
It is impossible to ignore the influence religion has in our world. Billions of people believe in one religion or another and many of these religions incorporate the pagan ritual of prayer in their practices.
Prayer is one of those things which people commonly accept as noble and good. The supplication to a higher power, any higher power, especially when done for apparently unselfish reasons is considered a very moral act and has been imitated since the first jungle savage kneeled in abeyance to any of his fancied gods.
The reality is that prayer becomes destructive beyond a certain point. As one learns of this infinite universe and its impersonal nature, one realizes that to progress one must learn and embrace, not pagan rituals of appeasement, but rather these scientific principles of energy. Good and evil are not determined by any deities but rather the universe and progressive evolution follow very specific energy principles or laws.
An incoherent signal does not propagate. It dies off and is absorbed into the background. Immortality is really just signal propagation and to achieve such propagation equilibrium of the signal content is all-important. All the answers man seeks and has employed religion to answer can be answered more precisely by observing our universe.
No "angel", "adept", "initiate", "master" or "avatar" would like to see you on your knees in supplication or prayer. They achieved their own elevated positions by discarding any practice which passed responsibility or action away from their own constructive efforts. The act of prayer even when it seems to be unselfish - is always selfish. This is because it projects your own relative understanding of any event unto some deity who with the supposed proper supplication will grant your prayer. The infinite universe is impersonal. It does not answer prayers. No advanced beings answer prayers either for they understand the destructive nature of prayer and would rather see you channel that effort into real and constructive action. Wishes, even when they are for the welfare of others, are still just wishes and are selfish acts. Intelligence demands action - not wishes. Prayer is the equivalent of passing the buck. It slowly removes personal integrity and responsibility and fosters inaction and stagnation. Prayer is fit only for those who have not yet evolved advanced moral understandings and still cannot discern the destructive nuances of wishing and prayer.
Often prayer is supposed to address things that seem "too large" or impossible for a man to influence. This, again, is a misleading and destructive thought pattern that turns an individual away from growth and development and into this useless, stagnant and fearful slave of pagan habit. For there is no thing that is beyond man's influence and reach. He merely is unaware of his own abilities and uses prayer as an excuse, an escape mechanism, whereby the failure of any desired goal or wish can then be laid upon the feet of some deity and he can wash his hands of it.
This is why prayer becomes destructive. It seems moral and yet actual subverts true morality by using a god as an escape mechanism. All goals must be worked toward. If you want to keep the rain away from your parade, don't pray to some god to change it for you - learn how to control the weather. If you want to save some child from cancer, donate your time, efforts and money towards a cure. Prayer is, at its best, a waste of time and at its worse it completely destroys the initiative and action of a large portion of the planet's inhabitants and leads them, not towards immortality, but instead towards assured destruction.
Progressive evolution and immortality of your soul require your own personal growth and development. Stagnation is not an option. Your signal must propagate and to do so it must be capable of traveling through any and all dimensions. To do this, it must learn and acquire new intelligence and new signals. Prayer is only fit for those who are unaware of the universe and its functions and still live using pagan rituals and employing useless pagan supplications for their survival and well-being.
Yes, any angel would wish you climbed up off your knees and turn that prayer into useful, positive action. Any god would be sorely disappointed in the "pass the buck" mentality of so many of his creations - creations who invented a means of denying their own infinite nature and who failed to observe the obvious scientific nature of the universe around them, and that many who, after recognizing it, still resorted to such pagan rituals instead of being scientifically minded about their progressive evolution.
Immortality is possible for those who continue to progress and expand their understanding. Those who cling to prayer and false idolatry have much bleaker prospects and will need to abandon these limiting and destructive habits and develop their mind and ability to employ constructive action in the place of wishes and prayer. Every moment spent in prayer could be a moment used in constructive action. As this time spent regenerates, this crippling habit is akin to taking all your income to play the lottery instead of investing your money and hoping to be rewarded. Both seem to be working towards the same goal but one is secretly insuring your poverty.
Prayer is secretly insuring your misery. Your prayers will go unanswered, as all prayers do until you take your wishes and desires and act on them intelligently. To become godlike requires this 100% devotion to your own progressive evolution and your own efforts to achieve it. It cannot be gifted to you and no quantity of prayer, supplication or appeasement to any god will further this goal - your own personal, progressive evolution.
The next time you kneel in prayer to some deity, listen closely to those who surround you and who are truly desirous of helping you help yourself. Let them lift you up off your knees and help inspire you to act on your desires and focus your mind to ever more progressive, compassionate and lofty goals. You will finally be freed and one step closer to these angels because you will have learned a secret they learned eons ago - wishes and prayer are selfish and destructive to the cause of true immortality.

Titanic!
New images have been released of Saturn's moon Titan. Huygens, a probe from the European Space Agency has given us our first close up. Definitely worth a look.
Stay tuned. Even as science tries to further man's understanding of the universe, billions still live in the mental dark ages...so a treatise on prayer is coming up.

The Power of The Mind
I have certain obligations to share certain information. I haven't signed any contracts or made any signed-in-blood-pacts, but the obligation remains. It's all about balance. Knowledge is never a one way street. The parent who was once a child must now assume the role of dispenser of knowledge. All this data transfers hands to be recycled again.
The human mind is magnificent. It is the zenith of intelligence among the animal kingdom and the point of demarcation between the lower orders of animals and humanity. Our minds can assimilate data and process it, recombine it and create new forms with it. However, the most important aspects of our consciousness are completely ignored by present day science textbooks. Our minds are receivers and transceivers. We receive and transmit data with our environment. What is also unknown is that your thoughts are electromagnetic emissions of energy and attract and repel other signals. A chap by the name of Norman Vincent Peale put out a book over half a century ago about the power of positive thinking. Unfortunately, there was no science behind the author's philosophical musing and materialist motivations presented therein, making the volume mostly worthless.
Positive thinking must have it's roots in understanding. It does one no good to say, "Well..I've lost my job and my car's a wreck, my wife left me but...oh boy! Do I feel good about it!" Pollyanna attitudes and glossing over misfortune does not resolve things. If you are on the receiving end of a negatively biased signal it is part of the learning process. Your consciousness is, ideally, raising its signal strength and reaching new and higher fundamental frequencies. Much like a video game with multiple levels, each new level comes with its own challenges to master and overcome. When one meets an obstacle one can't master, one is forced to repeat the conflict again and again. For humanity, life is all about emotional and mental development. Nature has provided us with the tools to learn and assimilate these new ideas. The family, the city, the county, state and nation all represent groups to which we interface with and reciprocate. We learn the laws of our nation, the values of our community and the morals our families try to maintain. We receive and give from our community. Our minds orchestrate this score. Until something the majority find better comes along, we will see our offspring and the next generations repeat this pattern following molds laid many years before they, or we, were born.
Each person, each community, each state and nation have a mean - a fundamental average to which each resonates and resides. This mean will dictate and influence all within the region, but it will not prevent all crimes or keep all at the same moral and intellectual bar. There is no barrier the mind cannot overcome in achieving balance with its own internal structures, thoughts and actions which have formed a rudimentary matrix of intelligence and understanding.
The infinite universe exists and can be reached in the comfort of the chair you sit in. As all is energy and energy is all around us and of what we are composed, there comes a point when the scientific mind realizes that all this energy is just signals. Data. Bits of intelligence streaming back and forth in a cosmic dance. The higher dimensions are linked to the lower and can transmit intelligence via these demodulated signals. Like a cosmic ray cutting through our atmosphere and going completely unrecognized without the proper equipment, your home or workplace in which you read this, or wherever you may find yourself - is always being broadcast to by these higher spectra or dimensions. This intelligence and wisdom that far surpasses human development is there awaiting our recognition and discovery. Our machines have helped us to become aware of dimensions that had gone unnoticed and yet still at this moment no one knows what goes on fifty miles beneath your feet, much less at the center of the earth.
Our technocracy must be accompanied by a fundamental growth in the mean intelligence of man. One only need observe the militant murderers blowing up people and shooting them in the name of Islam to see how technocracy passed on to those who could not themselves invent something becomes quite dangerous. Whether it be nuclear power in the hands of the North Koreans or Iranians or the pyrotechnic products of chemists, these technologies become harmful in the hands of the less intelligent. Indeed, history has borne out this maxim and yet we still do not see these nations rushing to educate their masses or increase their morality, we only witness the same old grab for weaponry and the perceived power these who grab at it believe it represents.
True power is the awareness of the workings of the universe and realizing that there are no limitations to growth and development. Too many fear death and believe all their efforts must be manipulated to provide the maximum enjoyment and satisfaction they can out of X number of years. This shortsighted perspective only leads to further insecurity, less satisfaction with life and a cyclic pattern which, when it regenerates, will lead to further discontent and unhappiness. Fear betrays the purpose of the mind. It subverts it and corrupts it. One cannot fear death and not realize that this fear will translate into a fear of life. One must live not merely for the moment, but for the long-haul. One makes no decisions which one can solely justify by the temporal limitations on human life, such as is done by those who mistreat their body with the built in line "Hey! We're all gonna die sometime!"
All these actions regenerate. Smoking, drinking to excess, overindulgence in food or any other material escape mechanism will not just have to dealt with in this body, but in future ones. Much as a nations laws and culture is formed by the previous residents, so are your future lives shaped by the actions you take now. When one really comes to accept this, suicidal actions not only can no longer be justified, but their damaging long-term influences will soon be understood.
However as bad as drugs, smoking or alcohol are, the negative and hateful thought is even more destructive and has equally long-lasting repercussions. The target of your contempt and hatred will be harmonically drawn unto you in future times until you discard these practices and balance old thought signals with new wisdom.
Your children, your family, your friends...all those that surround you now in a positive manner have not necessarily always been so. Many times they are your dire enemies drawn unto you. The divorce rate, murder rate and abortion rate all serve as mute testimony to how individuals are drawn unto us by negative attractions as often as by positive ones.
Realizing these things does not mean one has to reinforce them or justify the various negative emotions. Rather these concepts should ideally make it easier to work out and balance these past disparities and replace hate with friendship and even love.
The power of the mind is the power that will serve you well if you use it properly. No, it will not provide you a Maybach and three homes, but it will provide you with much more important things and is the key to man's ever sought after desire - true immortality. Once you realize that your body is the outward expression of your mind, you will find it easier to catch over-indulgence, prejudice, hatred, jealousy, etcetera and simultaneously strengthen those aspects of yourself you most wish to comprise; virtue, strength, wisdom and perhaps.... even wit.
But this blog entry already omits too much of that last valued commodity and is drier than the Arizona desert in August. So for now....
