  1. Yes but the question is , What is it.
  2. You can only see the world through your own mind. And that experience can not be known by anyone else. How come there is no plane wreckage from 9/11. Pentagon or the towers
  3. Gregory Chaitin is a mathematician and he says the base level of reality may not be particles but information. DNA is information encoded chemically. While based on my experiences with Astrology and time. I also feel the base level is information. I have found that time both Astrological and clock time has information that I can access. It is an interesting hypothesis that we may be in a simulation. It is one of the most interesting questions in philosophy. Unfortunately it may impossible or nearly so to find and answer. I think it's more plausible that our perceptions colour our reality. But also that our thoughts create our reality. Which may imply that everyone is right in their beliefs. However this is only true on a subjective level. Which is the level most people experience the world
  4. @Troy no I didn't know about Jasper. I heard Farrakhan speaking Boston and met Minister Don Muhammad.
  5. For the past 40 years I have been living in both the "real world" and the magical one. I may be at the crossroads of existing more in one rather than the other. I let you know if anything notable happens in July and October.
  6. I would say a civilisation is defined by language and culture. While an employee is defined by geography. Here's the Merriam Webster definition of civilization : the beliefs, customs, arts, etc. characteristic of a particular time or place : Empire major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority especially : one having an emperor as chief of state (2) : the territory of such a political unit
  7. I wasn't familiar with Baldwin's writing at the time. However there are artist that I thought it was important to see. He was one of them. @Troy I remember running into you and Jasper at the Nina Hendrix concert I Brooklyn. And a play that your friend was an actor. IT to Bookseller plus you have a wide range.
  8. I did a delineation using names for the candidates, you said Trump was Lilly. So I didn't say it directly but you pointed out that the pseudonym I used was Trump
  9. I write this you responded as follows
  10. @ProfD out of the countries listed Great Britain is the only one that still has influence. China is slightly different since most of their conquering of land was internal. Although I don't feel they will be a superpower the way Rome, Great Britain and the US used to be. They lack the one thing those countries shared immigration. Immigrants bring a flavour and difference that changes the country.
  11. There are some similarities James Baldwin was involved in the non violent arm of the Civil Rights Movement. Yet he felt the Black Panthers was also important. Was vocal about even though as a homosexual, the Panthers, would have rejected him. His emotions did colour his thinking even though he was quite emotional. He was also a disorganised. Audrey Lorde was initially married to a white man and I believe she has a daughter. Then she became a lesbian. So she's an outsider among outsiders. I feel this informs her ideas. Samuel Delaney is in the top two of my favourite writers. He was a professor and the University of Massachusetts. He picked up a homeless book seeler from Hell's Kitchen. As a lover wrote about it and they become live in lovers. Definitely lived on his own terms Shameless name drop section. I heard.James Baldwin speak at my university. Went to a book signing by Samuel Delaney. I went to Audrey Lorde's funeral. Ironically I went to her funeral before I had read any of her works. Yes her book Women Race and Class is a book I have recommended to others. I am not familiar with Ta-Nehisi Coates. Other than he wrote for the Black Panther comic book and he moved to France
  12. For me it's James Baldwin, Audrey Lorde and Samuel Delaney. Interestingly all are homosexuals and have been in interracial relationships.
  13. I am I. Facebook is only for a few minutes. Sometimes I post to my Astrology group. That's very little response or interaction. That's about 800 members. I may get a few comments and 20 likes. I still check in to AALBC. However I don't post that much. Although I may attempt to explain my Time Markers system again. Or I may ask for volunteers to test Astrological Techniques.
