Spirits in the Ethereal World - what is this thing we call our spirit? I'll tell you. It is our future...

So, what's it like to leave your body? What is your spirit?

Many people have reported near death experiences where they have left their own body, sometimes during surgery or in a life threatening situation or have watched Doctors trying to save their lives. They often speak of a white light they went towards or a tunnel they were going through .

So the question is, is this your spirit leaving your body and what is your spirit? A scientist in America attempted to weigh the spirit of a person, he set up a very accurate weighing apparatus of a terminally ill patient on a bed and recorded the weight before and immediately after death.

The post death body was around an ounce lighter. Another scientist set up cameras around a terminally ill person and claims to have photographed their spirit leaving their body, ascending upwards.

So what is your spirit? Even religion can't answer that. But if you've left your body you will know what it is like. Having done it over 30 times, I can tell you it is quite amazing.

What is around you right now? That you can hear and see? Right, I guess you are experincing sound and an environment. You are consciously aware of where you are, in a  room for instance, what is outside through the window, the noise outside or inside. This is your spirit.

When you leave your body, you can look down as I have done and see yourself on a bed for instance and you see a semi-transparent 'you' exiting from your solid, Earth body. It is a bit frightening for a second or two. This is essentially your spirit leaving your body.

The sensation of 'floating out'  of yourself is like when you dive into a swimming pool and just let yourself rise up to the surface, a sensation of ascending is roughly the same feeling. It feels good.

When I was about 12, I was at a swimming pool and had the use of diving boards and the sensation I got from ascending from each dive was really good and I must have spent half an hour repeatedly diving and ascending as the feeling was so amazing. It was like leaving myself behind.

Your 'spirit' helps drive your brain, the brain is essentially a 'wet ware' computer responding to chemical changes and electrical impulses. The spirit is the driver of that, I think that is where the consciousness is.

I mean the body can function in a state of 'limbo' when the person is in a coma. In most situations, the basic 'operating system' of the body functions, but I think that the spirit is an ethereal nerve centre that decides when it stops or goes. Otherwise, why is the body capable of functioning with a basic 'OS' when the person is non-reactive? If you keep the body supplied with fluids and energy sources it can last for years apparently in a so-called vegetative state.

So what do I see on the 'other side?' I think there are three outcomes of leaving the body, the first is near death or at death where the spirit is transitioning to the next stage.

The second is for those people who have a near death experience and see themselves from outside of the body and return to it when they are 'saved' in their Earth body. i.e. the Doctor has been successful in keeping them alive.

The third is spiritual tourism. There are those of us that can project our spirit out of the Earth body and into another dimension. This is my sort of experience.

Spiritualists and Mediums can also enter an awareness arena where they can contact people. Now there are fakers out there, but I have had one spiritualist who told me about someone who was coming through to me and who was telling the truth. There were physical factors this person had which she could not have known about yet she was able to relate these to me and there was no question she was telling the truth.

In fact, the person she was describing, I was the last person on this planet he talked to. I had a feeling that this person was not well, so I asked him and he said he was fine. I just had a feeling that something was wrong. Half an hour later he died of a massive stroke. Now that is spooky.

More so when the spiritualist who I had not told about this person identified him to me by physical description. He was missing the tip of his right thumb and index finger from an industrial accident. I can assure you that there was no way she could have known this. 

In the future we may exist only as ethereal beings. This is all ghosts are, they are energy just as our spirit is and why they can be picked up on electrical measuring devices.

The Anunnaki are beings that can also exist in human form as well as ethereal form. They can actually choose what form they want to exist in.

Always on our minds - Elvis Presley, 40 years on

Elvis remembered - on the road to Aberystwyth, Wales -

Elvis still rocks, on a rock

This year will mark the 40th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, perhaps the most famous popular music star of all time.

At the end, but still popular despite his demise

I was only young when Elvis died, I had only seen him and his music through odd glimpses of his films that were put on television during the school holidays. This was the post 'Sun' Elvis, but even so, when his death was announced on the television news, it did have meaning to me, even at that age. I was yet to discover the 'Sun' records era and when I did, this was a game changer.

Elvis in 1954 at the Sun Studios

The real Elvis to most people isn't the singer of saccharine material that was foisted on him in the course of the films he made or the latter Vegas years, no the real deal to most was the material recorded at the Sun Studios with Scotty Moore, Bill Black and DJ Fontana.

The Elvis that was Hound dog, That's all right, My Baby left me and Mystery train, to name but a few of his landmark early records.

The raw energy of this music was so different from anything else at the time and everything changed overnight. It eclipsed Bill Haley, one of the founding fathers of Rock and Roll. Although I am a great fan of Bill, Elvis and his group were raw firepower.

Bill Haley was an important artist and catalyst, he came along at the time through Western Swing and from a jazz background and was part of the evolvement of music that came to be Rock and Roll. Rock around the Clock was catchy and it was musical 'Pop Art.'

Roy Lichtenstein's 'Pop Art' was simple, impact heavy and immediate -

Just like 'Hound Dog,' if it had been done on paper

The music fulfilled the 'Pop Art' ethos that would come along with Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol around the same era. It had dynamic, but simple impact.

Tracks like Hound Dog with the explosive drum phrasing and the Scotty Moore sharp and echo laden guitar sound even today sound fresh, over 60 years later. 

Elvis - the 68 comeback

It was like he never went away

The syrupy early 60's allowed Elvis to star in the films and produce more middle of the road appealing material which kept him popular, but to many, Elvis was that stripped down hard edge of roots music from 1954.

Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones often references the sound of Scotty Moore in his musical education, but also the 'stripped down' nature of the Sun Studio set up.

Often all the Sun studio performers were in one studio with the inevitable overspill of sound into other performer's own microphones, helping to create that unique sound.

These players were all mixed onto a one track recording in the main, although Sam Phillips of Sun was a technical innovator in those early days of 'modern' music recording.

Keith Richards still performing and enjoying it

Keith Richards said in an interview how these days the Rolling Stones had the luxury of a studio with the capacity of almost infinite amount of tracks for each song. He lamented that in the Sun days how they achieved so much with so few tracks and that helped with the immediacy of the music.

No years in the studio making an album, likely it would be concluded in a day or two, with little if any possibility for adding on to existing tracks. It was then a case of play, record, press out the record for sale.

Scotty Moore with Elvis, on stage in the Sun days

Even on some of those early records that made the record shops, they are often not the 'best cut,' but Sam Phillips instinctively knew that some takes, mistakes included were superior to others. But it was just 'that sound' that Sam Phillips got.

The sum of the parts, unrelated as they were just came together. Elvis, the band, the acoustics of the room. Today we are spoilt with modern technology to play and record music with.

Back in the day, many musicians often used what was available -

Not everyone could afford top of the line Gretsch, Gibson or Fender guitars

A whole industry caters for 'vintage' equipment but is that actually the way to find that sound? Cheque book musicianship is not the way to get a good sound, you need the ability and talent in the first place.

The other factors required are talent and the artist's individuality. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and hundreds of others did it their way. And that was what made them unique. 

Elvis in the Vegas years - some wrote him off as a rhinestone parody

He however produced some landmark records in this era

The 68 'Comeback Special' that Elvis appeared in, was a situation that showed that Elvis was still lean and could do the music. This led onto the Vegas circuit, Elvis managed to get material like 'Suspicious minds' and make it his own during this era.

The important thing was he was still performing, even if others from the 50's were largely now no longer performing or even alive.

Vegas topped off a wealth of music, Vegas also proved that Elvis was not stuck in a time warp, reissuing old hits, no, he was carving a new path and the Vegas type material also showed his breadth of talent, tackling material and arrangements that showed how good he was as a performer. 

However you remember Elvis, he was good.

Spirits in the Ethereal world - Beyond Cybersex - human robot sex is about to be usurped!

Cybersex between Humans and Humanoid robots may be the next big thing -

But wait for the big bang - when we humans become ethereal!

We have heard and read countless pronouncements of how humans and robots are fast becoming sex partners and in greater numbers.

The 'cyber sex' industry is fast becoming a growth industry, not only for Western customers, but increasingly for the Chinese market. Companies like 'True Companion' are one of the companies making realistic partners, far removed from the days of dear old Linda, below.... 

Analogue, inflatable and boasting a 'realistic vagina, anus and mouth'-

a Linda Lovelips inflatable sex doll from the 1970's - apparently...

We have moved on from the old days of the inflatable sex partner to a realm where animatronic sex partners are an established industry.

Real Humans - production line human clones of the future

that you can design to suit your own specification

The invention of 'Cyberskin' has made for more realistic, human-like 'creations', some are moulded from real humans to get that correct anatomical look and authenticity, apparently.

These look a lot closer to humans than their predecessors

Although the basic modern robosex dolls look more realistic, there is something that doesn't quite gell with many of them. Its just something that makes them look artificial.

That could be the fact that they have not yet achieved singularity - the parity with humans, the Turing test, which is an unfortunate irony as Alan Turing was not heterosexual, yet this is how we are judging 'realism' here, in a roundabout way.

Perhaps close enough for some?

Will help solve the problem of lack of sex partners for Chinese men.

Singularity is currently the stumbling block for the aspiring robosexuals amongst society. Once you mirror human behaviour and idiosyncracies to the 'Turing level,' and you can't see the join, then you will be approaching true singularity, but where next?

Transhumanism - the meld of human and robot

Is that the next stage for us? Human 3.0?

We may become more than just partners for cyberskin replicants, it is possible that we will migrate to an ethereal type of situation. Here we may become almost virtual beings.

Our friends electric -

We may become Ethereal beings without the need for a human body 

So what would a virtual world be like? It could be amazing. It could solve all our problems and allow us to exist in a utopia. Why not?

Why not exist in a world where we can redesign ourselves to appear as we want or to design our partners to be what we want if we can create ethereal clone partners from basic wireframe technologies that 3D drawing uses?

Existing in a realistic looking holographic world where we can choose not only where we live but in what era would be incredible. And not just for sex, we could choose to inhabit any era past or design our own futures.

If you think virtual reality is done, it isn't yet.

What's the frequency Michio? - Alien life may exist as an ethereal form, could this also explain ghosts?

Humans are evolving -

the question is how far will we go or can we go in our present form?

Dr Michio Kaku was recently talking about how things exist and his conversation was thought provoking and I immediately thought about ghosts and psychic phenomena, in conjunction with his thoughts on extra terrestrial entities.

Our usual view of ghosts - transparent and ethereal,

yet this is probably reality

We are moving as humans towards Human 2.0, that is our biological development is advancing and it is believed that our genetic coding is being 'super joined' that is the genetic material we carry as 'junk' as scientists state, is not junk, but merely sleeping material, awaiting connection and activation and this is the material ripe for connection and enhancement.

By 2045 we may be able to exist as ethereal energy -

or part human, part machine

So, Michio Kaku could be right, that extra terrestrial races may exist in ethereal forms, our human spirit exists in an ethereal form, as you might know if you have ever left your body and seen your spirit migrate out of it.

Leaving your body is an amazing experience -

if frightening at first

Many people have seen themselves outside of their own body. Your awareness you have now reading this is from your spirit, not your brain, because outside of your body you are still as aware.

As Michio said, it is all about the frequency. We can be in a room surrounded by different radio and television channels, Wi-Fi etc, yet only if your device is tuned to a specific frequency can that be detected and used. Everything else is irrelevant to you, because you can't receive it. 

This may also be true with ethereal beings, perhaps if we share some very distant origins with them and they were once in our humanoid form, they may have had a spirit frequency similar to ours. Perhaps they have advanced to be able to activate and migrate.

Having researched the Anunnaki, they are able to live a number of lives but can apparently choose to live in an Ethereal form if they choose to.

So, looking at ghosts. This could be the thing, they are in an Ethereal form, like our own spirits, they are unattached and have not moved over to another dimension. Which begs the question of spirit DNA.

Human genetic material has been externally modified -

we are an intervention species

Can we remember things from past lives? People who have been regressed can and they can also recount information that they otherwise have no knowledge of?

Humanoid robots - when singularity is achieved

we might yet migrate into these machine beings

Existing as ethereal only beings is one answer to the problem of human overpopulation, it also helps us to wean off consumerism, with an integration into a virtual world we could do anything and have almost anything.

Why the British Police service needs reform

 

Things have moved on since then -

Or have they?

The 1926 General Strike saw an important agreement made afterwards, that the Police service would not strike.

For that agreement, to continue to serve, keeping of the peace and prevention of the disturbance without recourse to withdrawal of labour, has ensured that the service has perhaps not been subject to the level of restriction against things like labour conditions and performance agreements that may have been foisted onto other organisations.

But has that meant that reform of the service by past governments has been limited and changes to the service, perhaps not as far reaching or definitive as hoped, have been in the past watered down to appease the non-striking body?

Whilst representation of the staff members of the Police Federation is something that should be preserved, the federation does wield power. And in the past has managed to strongly argue for what it will or will not accept.

The Police Community Support Officers-

A wasted opportunity for greater efficiency?

One of the recent innovations to policing, the introduction by David Blunkett of the Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) was worthwhile, but the concept was watered down perhaps.

This could have been an opportunity for two tier policing, allowing a front line operational deployment of federated staff, but backed up with a wider tranche of PCSO staff with a limited remit but with power of arrest.

In essence, the PCSO would do a lot of the ordinary work such as patrolling, statement taking and the like, which would free up the other officers for targeting of criminals and preventative crime work.

The PCSO's would have provided vital boots on the ground as an integrated part of visible policing. The fact they are not equipped to operate in a more fulfilled role in my view has been a mistake. It also means that their role is less fulfilling and perhaps job satisfaction would be greater with more scope for a more comprehensive nature of their remit.

Some officers see the Special Constable as little more than being 'hobby police.' Although this is not the case with all. The Special Constable is a volunteer and largely only available because they give their spare time.

With policing cuts, the Specials have been in demand more. Often being used to try and fill the gaps in operational policing, particularly on night shifts.

The nature of crime is changing -

technology allows foreign criminals to operate in the UK, remotely from abroad

Crime is now no longer what happens on our streets. Cyber crime, whether by computer fraud, hacking or email scams is big business, often by foreign criminals and terrorists is a reality that affects UK citizens.

The police service has to change and evolve to meet the demands of maintaining law and order in this new age.

So, there has to be a new way forward, where the government of the day protects the livelihood of the police officer but at the same time, is on a more 'working' basis, not a confrontational one, without the General Strike carrot and stick fall back position?

We frequently get the 'there is no money' and 'budgetary restraints' arguments when politicians orate. This is no excuse anymore, not when we waste billions in 'foreign aid' payments. It is time to start reinvesting in the UK infrastructure and that includes the Police, Fire, Ambulance and Military services.

Basic income Guarantee would help provide volunteers to help the police service

With automation taking many jobs, Mark Carney the Bank of England Chief has recently predicted half of the 31 million UK work force will lose their jobs permanently to automation. This means the government must introduce a basic income payment.

Basic income would also allow others to volunteer and this would help efficiency in law and order provision. It would allow more Special Constables, whilst this influx might not sit well with some regular officers, what other answer is there except major investment by the government, rather than cuts to police numbers?

I served in the police service for seven and a half years and saw changes and cuts in my time. 'Lean' management practices have cut too far and there is nothing left to cut. If the UK has no money, politicians should ask why and then do something about it. Britain first, has to be the way forward if we want this country to be great again. 

We must not sacrifice the sanctity of law and order on the altar of bean counting, we need to take our country back, Brexit has started that ball rolling. We must now grasp this opportunity to reboot Britain, law and order and homeland security must be in that mix. 

ISIS Calling - Beware of phone scams!

Who is actually calling you? -

Terrorists are using telesales to steal your money!

Many of us have caller ID on our phones these days, but is that as safe as it could be?

Sadly, not.

I've helped a number of people in the past who could have fallen prey to scammers, but thankfully I have been able to investigate on their behalf and save them from becoming victims.

Email is another way of scamming -

as is the 'your computer has a virus' scam

The nature of scam contact has grown, from the old style 'you have won the lottery' crap letter received in the post, onwards.

With many legitimate email addresses stolen by disgruntled employees and sold on, or hacked from sites by criminals, there is often little that can be done except to consign these spam emails to your spam folder and hope that the senders are well and truly identified by your email provider.

No, but you can stop them! 

Going back to the phone angle, some callers are now using 'VOIP hacking' to make what are on the face of it legitimate UK number calls.

This was the preserve of companies farting above their own arses, the fur coat no knicker brigade, who in the past bought 'exclusive' area code phone numbers, often for Mayfair, London addresses, with which to impress if you started snooping on them. The reality is that these people are far from what they make out to be.

Often these sorts of people, were based in less salubrious areas of the UK, in actual fact.

The recent 'your computer' is affected scam calls are the latest way to infiltrate your computer and cause you problems. The MO is that someone calls you and tells you that your computer has been infected with a virus.

Usually, this is from someone with a foreign accented voice, often making out they are from British Telecom. They are not and BT does not make these types of calls.

Plus, the caller ID doesn't show. ISIS are now using this model to call people in the UK in an attempt to extract money for their cause, so be warned.

Report suspicious activities to the Action Fraud hot-line

Let the Police do some 'cold calling' n the UK scammers for you

Many of us no doubt still receive emails from our 'new best friend in Burkino Faso' promising untold wealth if you pay an administration fee and give them your bank details to do so, if you do that they can then empty your bank account for you.

Be vigilant. There are shysters and scammers out there. Don't be their next victim!

'Work until you are 70' - Shows just how much Government is out of touch!

Work until you are 70 -

There won't be the jobs out there!

A few years ago the UK Government trumpeted a frankly ill-thought out  notion that we would all have to work until 70 years of age.

That fatuous statement showed how out of the touch they were.

They had clearly failed to understand what many forward thinkers have been predicting for many years, that automation would take over many of the current jobs done by humans.

Look at many employers websites and their 'meet the team' page, usually a gathering of nauseating images of people trying to look happy. What you may observe is that most of the staff are under 40. 

Outsourcing work abroad means we no longer have much manufacturing at home

And this is the problem for older workers, employers seek to employ experienced workers who they can employ at lower wage levels who have less experience. They often think this is as saving, but it is a false economy.

There are many older workers 45 plus, who find that their skills may not be relevant in the workplace of today. Lean business practices mean that there is no slack in business these days, no extra capacity.

So the chance to learn in a job or with an employer is a thing of the past, unless they employ you to specifically do so.

Humans need not apply

The problem is that automation has been silently taking human jobs for many years, it is only now that the effects are really being felt.

The reason is that some of the jobs have just suddenly disappeared and there is nothing to take their place.

We will have to be paid when the robots take our jobs -

Basic Income Guarantee is the answer

So this work until 70 crap? Of course the Government wants you to work on and pay in to the system, but that ain't gonna happen no more. Basic Income Guarantee is the way forward.

Paid at a fair rate, it will mean that we will not have to worry about money, because it will provide a financial safety net.

Is it affordable? Yes. It will self-generate money, if you give people money, they usually spend it. 

This feed back into the economy and if people have free time they are likely to go out and spend money. This means that the Retail sector in which 15 High Street retail shops close A DAY may be helped by people out there spending money. 

The model the Government is working to is out of date and irrelevant, yet it seems to be blindly walking onwards towards an obsolescence of ideas scenario.

Basic Income is the answer and the government must look at bringing this in soon. Bank of England Chief Mark Carney sees the rise of the robots will take 15 million UK jobs, even those thought previously to be 'safe,' such as accounting.

If this business professional is aware of this coming situation, then why is the government so seemingly unprepared? Because government is made up largely of amateurs who lack the necessary acumen to see the future.

It is time for government to become more professional. They need to look at the future, because if they act Canute like, the tidal sweep of automation will sweep in and make them look very silly.
