Okay, I was listening to a little coast to coast radio last night on the drive home from work (Yes, when you're done yucking it up, you may continue reading...)

They were talking about these sort of glasses that some guy invented and they have a type of shutter where things that are not visible to the human eye can be seen.  Now, this is nothing new really, since we've had microscopes and nightvision stuff... seeing things that we humans cannot usually see.  Or seeing things that humans of just a generation or two ago would not dream of seeing...

But this particular thing was linked with observing "ghost" type things.  They were seeing "misty images" at about 100.11hertz in these caves somewhere in the Appalachians, I think. 

Anyway, wouldn't it be a great thing if we could get "glasses" to wear and plug into our laptops, plug in your shutter speed and "see" all kinds of stuff... stuff that happened there but that is not presently happening?  

It made me think of all the advancements taking place that are making us less and less astonished by things we considered "miraculous" or "from God" not long ago. 

Pretty soon, "dead people" or popping into a closed room suddenly, or using glasses to see things we can't normally see... it may just be the "norm."

It already exists...it's called PCP.

The movie was entitled "They Live" not "PCP".  It brought into our lexicon the most famous of lines to use right before your gonna kick some butt!

Eventually we will all have a little white stone. To us it will be a Urim & Thummin. We'll be able to view it all.

Reminds me of the TV series "Sliders" and traveling to parallel earths. Been watching it on Netflix instant watch.

Saw one episode the other night where they went to an earth where all the men, but a few, had been killed by a virus. The still living men were called patriots and their sole purpose was to rebuild the human population. Pretty funny episode. John Rhys-Davies (Gimli from LOTR) called it paradise found.

Good show, pretty interest takes on history and social workings and how one thing could change the direction life goes, worth watching.

Sliders was good for the first season, and then started getting kind of weird as they started trying to be the catalyst for social change everywhere.

God is multi-dimensional. nod.gif

I liked the BYU Studies article a while back called Some Thoughts on Higher-dimensional Realms.

Did you see the Sliders episode where Coco is a dour, humorless person who just finished serving a term for horse killing? Probably not, because they wouldn't make an episode with such an unlikely situation. That's also part of the reason why I don't believe in alternate realities.

No one said anything about alternative realities. teehee...

Actually, just the past/present/future thing along with the time/space thing and the more-than-three-dimensions thing... thumbsup.gif

Coco kill a horse? Would never happen. Aren't most made for T.V. B-rate disaster movies usually about events that are unlikely to happen? They usually have some stupid ones on the sci-fi channel that Cat and I like to make fun of.
