Enter the exoplanet earthling. What’s out there, in the universe, is in here on Earth. The distances are Colosssus, but the physics is universal. Earth doesn’t stand alone.

And if God is the God of hosts, we owe it to Him to manage our affairs better and mature to adult in relations to our species, homo sapiens, the Earth’s ecology and exoplanets throughout the galaxy.

The hosts from other exoplanets give us moral support to mature from teen-agers to adults when it comes to not destroying this exoplanet, at least, with us on it.

Our existentiality matters for future, present, and past eternity.

They are constructive peer pressure.

The national identities of Russians and Ukranians do not seek anarchy, and look forward to possibilty of redemokratization after war, or before.

Consider:

The 6th Century historian Procopious describes the Constantinople of his day as a disorderly tyranny down not only by the fear of the ruthless emperor, but also by an ambience of street violence originally politically motivated by the blue and green factions now transformed into simple extortion [of both those of wealth and the poor.]

Title: Rise up, Rise down, the Seattle wave.

The ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that man feels called upon to realize are so unsuitable and unnatural to a purely earthly creature could only have arisen from faith in man’s divine parentage. Thus, both in deifying himself and serving more principles, man, while intellectually rejecting faith in God was in fact building his life heritage of that faith.

“Of the Two Natures in Man” by S. L Frank

This, according to man not depressed, isolated, lonely, dark and in despair.

A good sports participant and/or fan, man and woman, and child do not have to dress in gown and tux, eat remaining caviar and drink champagne and toast to the decision by him, and her to deliberately slam, smack into the iceberg to have freedom to choose his or her own fate.

But at the same time man and woman do not need to think themselves such “holy rollers” that they prescribe to ancient Greek fate and end all things in a tragic catastrophe. Incineration of ourselves with very, very dirty plutonium for some great or greatest ideal.

The Hebrew Bible has the Book of Numbers which lists generation-to-generation destiny of all mankind, humankind. And it is this Mesopotamian ideal of fecundity (even in the face of one-child families or no children families) that affords the chance to biologically evolve without the necessity of being superman other than the ubermensch of constructive endeavor already seen in moon, Mars and asteroid launches successfully engaged and achieved.

And Neitzsche spoke of a “higher plane” where we go after dying, that served as a thought exercise, of a place after death. Can also be place we go to while on this exoplanet while working and achieving constructively. But surely that can be seen by the faithful as Heaven, and the Higher Power as the Source of the capacity or ability to get constructive things done. An universe higher calling of sanity.

And eternal peace and love and happiness for our fateful personal, private deaths from personal, private lives in an effort enshrined by Providence as constructive and correct.

The Hegellian idea that we strive and achieve and adapt by correctness in a constructive mode. Thus, adapting and changing–as if God read our history, and learnt about Himself for the very first time.

Stodginess and stolidness leave little room for redemption. Rebirth of creativity and invention an incapacity. People have dropped out of life, for less.

Perhaps he or she needs to reckon with fate, and leave living life to those alive and happy for the challenge of success. Maybe he or she should be instrumental in affording opportunity for others, other than him- or her-self, whom seek success when opportunity is regained. To let go. To let go freely.

A turn-around capable of righting so many wrongs. An arrogance dissapating and a humility properly administered.

An ideal state, providing hope in this life, or the next. Having a tomorrow.

Something to say about prisons in America

The guards come from some dictator and brainwash or torture counterintuitively the prisoners to attack society when they get out rather than attempt reform in prison for the prisoner.

The one supervising the three is a guard or social worker under the same premise (brainwash the prisoners to attack society).

Something to say about “soma,” or opoids.

The Soma plant, or Moon-plant results in an exhilirating Nirvana in totalitarian state (in Brave New World). It is a chemical, an artificial “sweetner.” It is the mask of goodness and rightness (the “gladdening”) before a battle culminating in rules of engagement throughout that lead chaos-destruction, slaughter in war. It comes from the Rig Veda literature. Indra was one of the gods utilizing a substance like opium or Ephedra (exhilirating), Soma juice. In battle.

Many, prefer beer–that was first made in Egypt.

Meditation can be a settling of the mind if not a “high” in and of itself.
