“Give up defining yourself to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people

It's going to be quite difficult for me to describe my personal experiences regarding the consciousness shift phenomenon. I will continue then by delving into the corpus of my research. Let me introduce you to Robert Lanza and his theory: Biocentrism

Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and a scientific director at Advanced Cell Technology Company. He is known for his extensive research on stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.

He then turned his attention to physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. It is from this metaphysical milieu that his controversial theory was created. Biocentrism implies that death simply does not exist. It is an illusion fabricated by the dogmatic pathways in our minds.

It exists because people identify themselves with their bodies and with their Ego. Now a brief interlude. What is our innermost essence? What is our life force? Is the idea of who we are a product of the mind, social conditioning, and the thoughts we have? Or are we spiritual

beings, both material and divine? In psychology and theories arising from the West, the ego plays a crucial role in the psyche( Greek, psukhē, which translates to breath, life, soul) It forms our self-concept and is an essential part of human cognitive function.

Our normal sense of the person as a lonely island of consciousness, is a dramatic illusion based on theological imagery.
Alan Watts
Once, Shakyamuni Buddha was asked to describe consciousness.
Consciousness is a kind of clear energy

that takes the reflection of all existent phenomena, even though it doesn’t have form or color itself. Ego-consciousness is consciousness but has to be eradicated. From the Buddhist point of view, the Ego is a negative aspect of consciousness that gradually has to be abandoned.

Pure consciousness continues to flow like crystalline water, from life to life. The Ego pollutes the water and could become the dam that keeps us from our journey and must be eradicated. It is the source of all conflit and confusion.

We have to choose the right time to transfer our consciousness; we’re not allowed to do it at the wrong time because that becomes suicide. Not to be confused with the theory of Quantum suicide. There are specific times and scientifically determined signals of impending death

that indicate when it’s appropriate to engage in po-wa; there are detailed explanations of the internal and external signs that arise to show that the end of a life may be near. You should know that within us resides the possibility to change this situation.

"Three hundred men, all of whom know one another, direct the economic destiny of Europe and choose their successors from among themselves."
Walter Rathenau 1909
Let me introduce the Olympians, also known as the Committee of 300.

The Black practitioners who have been ruling over humanity since the beginning of this current reality. They are the descendants of the Black aristocracy bloodlines of Venice, Genoa and Rome. Paramount amongst those Black lineages is the House of Guelph.

Most of humanity walk in great darkness, not caring or bothering to find out where their country is going firm in the belief that it will always be there for them.This is the way the largest population group has been conditioned to react by the occult liturgies of the Grey Temple

You see, the Olympians are hidden in plain sight. You have probably watched them being crowned, sworn in and elected. You probably voted for some of them. You might be following their social frolics online or marvelling at the latest crass demonstration of their riches. Maybe.

The 300 have been conducting their black rituals and social, political and financial machinations since the death of Queen Victoria of the House of Guelph.
What is now known about them is the result of the outstanding investigative research by John Coleman. He exposed them to the

"And into the Forest I go, to lose my Mind and find my Soul" J. Muir
When we approach the end of a Cycle the undercurrents of the secret realm of Mysteries and Enchantment begin to stir from their slumber, eager to flow once again. It is our longing

for that indefinite something more growing within us, urging us to shed the Grey taint of conformity. Suddenly, in a day like any other day, something changes within us. We no longer feel blinded in a shadow of mundane tasks, but instead we begin to question our surroundings,

the received truth and most importantly, our reality. "What is the point of it all?" that is the question. Our social interactions now feel like a fictional narrative, scripted, fake, unsatisfactory. Our minds begin craving a different outlook, a fresh start. A desire to know.

Our mind begin to change, our brain fires up new mysterious pathways and questions spring copiously searching for answers. But what happens when you start questioning your reality? You wake up from the induced dream state. The yokes of indoctrination start to loosen up. Breathe.

You have taken the first step on your path to spiritual awakening.
Awakening isn’t just a lifestyle switch, it’s a transmutation of the mental, emotional, spiritual and the physical body. These experiences inevitably start changing our life and the philosophy of existence itself.

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as a derivative of consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, suggests consciousness. Max Planck

There is an abundance of speculations and theories about the Mysteries that await beyond Death's ivory Gate. Science, after a long battle, is coming to terms with Spirituality.
In one of the previous threads, I wrote about Biocentrism and its advo, Dr Lanza. His theory has now

been validated by a recent scientific discovery. A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons.

The subject matter are the microtubules. Introducing Sir Roger Penrose, a well-known British physicist and expert in mathematics from Oxford, and Professor Stuart Hameroff from the University of Arizona. They have no doubts about the existence of an eternal soul.

They both believe that consciousness does not perish after death. According to them, the human brain is the perfect quantum computer, and the soul, or consciousness, is simply information stored at the quantum level. It can be transferred, following the death of the body;

X : Do you think cloud will decentralise?
Me : Already has - started with regions and AZs and is now rapidly expanding into outpost, greengrass, EKS anwhere.
X : No, I mean many providers.
Me : There are two forms of decentralisation - provision and control (i.e. authorities) ...

... what is happening is decentralisation of provision (i.e. cloud everywhere, at the edge) but under centralised authorities (Amazon, Alibaba, MSFT, Google etc).
X : What about decentralisation of control?
Me : Many companies working to a common standard ...

... that was the dream of OpenStack but they blew that on day one creating a collective prisoner dilemma. They are trying to recorrect this with K8s but the cloud has moved on, higher up the stack ...

... so, the idea of a marketplace of many different companies each having authority is ... wishful thinking by past vendors and clients they've hoodwinked. Maybe in 15-20 years we will get another go ... open source is a long game ...

... more likely is many points of provision i.e. companies offering EKS anywhere on a utility basis but under centralised authority e.g. AWS.

So, yes, the cloud is going to edge, has been for sometime but it'll be AWS / Alibaba / MSFT cloud that is everywhere.

@The_Rumpus is open for essay submissions until February 28, so here’s a #RumpusEssays thread in which our amazing editors share what they would like to see in submissions. Give them a follow and send your essay our way via @submittable

Features Editor @happiestwerther is “still (forever) in love with the researched essays that teach me something about a subject while I also learn about a narrator.” #RumpusEssays

Assistant Features Editor @sarahkasbeer would like to see “essays with unexpected engines / innovative structures / emotional and intellectual depth / good ole narrative tension.” #RumpusEssays

Features Editor @kaytaybayy: “I'd love to see essays that are imbued with kinetic energy. I don't care what they're about. Just sweep me into your experiences and thoughts. Compel me to shake my dust off.” #RumpusEssays

Asst Feat Ed @DJ_theoretical: "I’d love to read about that weird, niche topic you’re obsessed with. Your Pog collection, those ribbon candies that seemingly only grandmas buy, your new obscure hobby. Distract me from the horrible big picture with your hyperfixations."

There's a particular kind of romantic partnership, with a certain sort of person, that I've wanted since I became a self-aware, directed agent at around age 15.

Empirically, this kind of relationship has been hard to achieve. It hasn't worked out yet, at least.

And this sometimes leaves me wondering if my standards are unreasonable.

In years past that desire was often very alive.

These days, I'm rarely directly or viscerally in contact with it.

I sometimes contemplate aiming for some other kind of romantic and/or sexual relationship instead. In part because I might be more effective if I...I don't know, got laid more? But that's not really the thing. More like, if I had someone around whom I could regularly relax.

But mostly, I don't pursue those alternative relationship-setups out of a sense of something like loyalty to myself + a vague sense of wrongness and/or sadness about it. It often feels like giving up or giving in.

[I might elaborate on the wrongness sometime.]

Environmental impact of carrier bags

• In this life cycle assessment of supermarket carrier bags we can conclude that the environmental impact of all types of carrier bag is dominated by resource use and production stages. It is because there is so much energy that is needed in the production stage.

Transport, secondary packaging, and end-of-life management generally have a minimal influence on their performance.

Whatever kind of bag is actually utilized, the essential towards decreasing the effects are actually towards recycle it as often times as feasible as well as where recycle for buying isn't practicable

The recycling of traditional HDPE as well as various other light-weight provider bags for buying as well as/or even as bin-liners is actually critical towards their ecological efficiency as well as recycle as container linings create higher advantages compared to reusing bags.
