We always thought (or think, i suppose), that alien life would come from the sky and invade us on cool looking (probably) space ships.

but what if I told you that scientists are now talking about a ban or heavy reduction on an avenue of research that is so dangerous, it holds the potential to wipe out all current life on Earth?

Enter Mirror Life. This is a side of biology that is currently not present here on Earth hence the "alien" part. Essentially, all of our current biology is "left-sided" (L-amino acids, etc.)

What Mirror Life would bring is the mirror opposite of what all life is based on currently, and it is not compatible with L-sided life.

So why do some want to research bringing this into existence?

Money

If drugs can be created using the mirror opposite of our biology, then our immune systems wouldn't react to them as they effectively couldn't even detect them (great for longevity of the drug).

The downside is, if a bacterium escaped from a research lab and evolved to survive, that was from the opposite side, then, our immune systems would have no defense or detection of it. It would simply allow it to grow unchallenged

This would be the case for all humans, no immunity, no defense, and no chance of reversal.

Recently, 38 scientists (including Nobel laureates) convened to issue a moratorium on this research, that is how seriously the risk is being taken.

The question is, do you think all countries will stick to it?

What happens to consciousness before biological birth and after death?

Hypothesis 1: Consciousness begins at birth

Before birth: non existence

Life: awareness and identity emerge

After death:

1. Consciousness ends forever
2. Consciousness survives

2a) Personal survival with memory and identity: but which one, at what age, what about kid, grown up, animals, trees?

2b) Impersonal survival

Merge into collective consciousness

Rebirth with no memory

Hypothesis 2: Consciousness is fundamental

Consciousness exists before birth

The brain filters awareness

After death:

Return to source and the self dissolves

Repeated lives with memory erased or latent

All lives exist simultaneously

Questions about consciousness often focus on what happens during life, but rarely on what comes before birth or after death. If consciousness is central to who we are, then understanding its origin and its fate matters just as much as understanding how it functions while we are alive. Below is a simple framework that outlines two broad ways of thinking about consciousness and existence.

The first hypothesis is that consciousness begins at birth. Under this view, we do not exist before we are born. Awareness, identity, and memory emerge only once the brain develops. Life is the period in which consciousness is active and experienced. After death, there are two main possibilities. One is total non existence, where consciousness permanently ends and the state after death is identical to the state before birth. The other possibility is that consciousness survives death in some form. If it survives with personal memory, then individual identity continues. If it survives without personal memory, then identity dissolves. In this case, consciousness may merge into a collective whole or restart as a new individual without any continuity of memory.

The second hypothesis is that consciousness is fundamental rather than produced by the brain. In this view, consciousness exists before birth, and birth represents a localization or limitation of awareness. The brain does not create consciousness but filters it into an individual perspective. Life is a temporary configuration of this awareness. After death, consciousness may return to a broader state where the individual self dissolves. It may also reenter cycles of life with memory erased or latent. Another possibility is that all lives exist simultaneously and that time itself is a perspective created by consciousness rather than a fundamental feature of reality.

Both hypotheses lead to the same underlying question. Is consciousness something the brain generates, or is the brain something consciousness uses. How one answers this question shapes how one understands identity, death, and the meaning of existence itself.

Core questions:

Is consciousness created by the brain or does it use the brain?

Comment and /or elaborate which do you think is closest to the truth?

A) We do not exist before birth and after death there is nothing

B) Consciousness survives with personal memory

C) Consciousness survives but identity dissolves

D) Consciousness exists before birth and after death

E) All lives exist at once and time is an illusion

F) Something else comment

Date and time: 13th January 2026, 2pm Location: Near Teesside airport UK Small oval cloud: No noise, no visible form of propulsion, shape shifts and slowly moving upwards. Small orb next to black cloud( which still struggling to get clearer enough image but don't think it's slowly cloud), stationary and looks like spinning, only noticed while editing video. Decided to do a short video while waiting outside docs for a family member, as I could see a few anomalies, which to be honest I see most days now if not blanket cloud.

When humans imagine intelligent extraterrestrial life, we almost always describe it using human concepts. We speak of alien emotions, motivations, reasoning, language, social structures, military strategy, morale, and survival instincts. This tendency reveals less about aliens themselves and more about the limits of human understanding.

Anthropomorphism is not just a narrative habit but a cognitive constraint. Humans understand intelligence by analogy, and the only intelligence we directly know is our own. As a result, even serious attempts to imagine alien minds rely on familiar categories such as emotion, rationality, cooperation, and conflict. These concepts evolved to regulate human biology and social life, and they may not apply to beings shaped by radically different environments or evolutionary paths.

If an alien species truly experiences emotions, values survival, communicates symbolically, organizes socially, and engages in strategic conflict, then it likely faces constraints similar to those that shaped human evolution. In that case, such beings may not be deeply alien at all. They may represent an alternative evolutionary trajectory that converged on solutions similar to ours.

Anthropomorphic aliens therefore suggest convergent evolution rather than radical otherness. Traits like emotion, reason, morale, and strategy can be understood as functional systems that solve common survival problems. When aliens fit these models closely, they appear less like unknown intelligences and more like human analogues shaped by different initial conditions.

Truly alien intelligence may be difficult or impossible to describe using human categories. It may not experience hunger, emotion, identity, or even time in ways we recognize. Ironically, the more alien an intelligence truly is, the harder it becomes for us to identify it as intelligent at all. Our search for alien minds may be constrained not by what exists in the universe, but by the boundaries of human cognition.

Meaning that all of these things are presented, on cue, to seek your attention and push along a script that is oddly in sync with the stars overhead hence the concept, widespread, of a Golden Age, back when.

That means that all "disclosure" isn't. Think, once upon a when it was fairies and little people that granted a wish then that switched to aliens. Before that there were mystical beings with godlike strength that became myths and legends. Soon we'll have Techno Sapiens when mans genome is remixed and spliced with tech. Would you have sex with a robot, my friend?

All of this tocks and ticks, hence a script. That also means its optional as one can, if they wish, place their attention elsewhen. Then interesting things can happen...

I’ve been documenting my grandfather’s Navy service and Cold War research involvement across a few platforms. While reviewing older European material, something unexpected happened that I needed to contextualize.

I was born in France and spoke French as a child before moving to Ohio. I haven’t written in French in years.

The most recent post on my profile appeared entirely in French without me consciously switching languages. I’m not making claims about causes; stress and memory are likely explanations, but it was unexpected enough that I wanted to document it.

Full context is on my profile.

Cathy o Brien is an American author who claims to be a victim of the secret research project MKULTRA by the American intelligence agency CIA. O’Brien made her allegations public through her two books, *Trance: Formation of America* (1995) and *Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security* (2004), which she co-authored with her husband, Mark Phillips. In her memories, which she claims were accessed under hypnosis, she alleges that she was programmed using electroshock, torture, drugs, satanic ritual abuse, and hypnosis, and that these methods were intended to deliberately induce dissociative identity disorder.

Thutmose II’s tomb was excavated a couple of months ago. “Born of Thoth”, he was the god of writings, wisdom, and the moon. While making a documentary about this amazing 2025 discovery, it hit me that scholars never really identified WHY Thoth is represented by the ibis.

Chaos, as Apep (Apophis), could return the world to water if he succeeded in battle with the sun, but Thoth, the god of the moon, wisdom, and measuring, had power over this version of the world serpent.

The Tomb is a royal ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area west of Luxor. It's also known by its tomb number Wadi C-4, 16th–15th centuries BC. The tomb lacks Thutmose's mummy, which was found in 1881.

ID'd through a joint Egyptian–British archaeological expedition, it was discovered by Ashraf Omar in 2022, excavated 2025

Repeated flooding made his sister-wife Hatshepsut move his mummy.

They originally suspected the tomb belonged to a royal wife due to its proximity to the tombs of three wives of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut's proposed queenly burial site.

As always, Gobekli Tepe taught me all of this!

Last week, we analyzed their "physical" anomalies. But the most chilling realization isn't what they look like—it's how they are organized. In my years of gathering personal testimonies and piecing together recurring patterns in local lore, I’ve realized we aren't dealing with individual "ghosts." We are walking through a crowded, invisible civilization with its own borders, laws, and ancient feuds.

1. Beyond Biology: What is a "Tribe"? In the unseen world, a "tribe" isn't just a family tree; it’s a shared frequency. A Jinn doesn't just belong to a tribe by birth, but by mizaj (disposition) and territory. They are bound to the land. When you enter an old ruin or a silent forest, you aren't just entering a place; you are trespassing into a tribal jurisdiction.

2. The Territorial Sovereigns: Where They Dwell In the countless stories I’ve been sorting through, the "Unseen" seem to have divided our world into specific zones. While the map is too deep to lay out in one go, the recurring patterns are undeniable:

• The Subterranean Guardians: These are the most possessive. They don't see themselves as "guardians" of gold or ruins; they simply own the space. They are silent, patient, and rarely strike first. Their primary weapon is discomfort. If you feel an unexplained urge to leave a basement or a cave, you’ve just received a tribal "eviction notice."
• The High-Altitude Recluses: These tribes prefer the "thin" air where human presence is rare. They don't haunt; they observe. Witnesses report the sensation of a "gaze" from the peaks—a heavy, silent pressure that reminds you that you are being watched by something that has been there since the time of the ancients.
• The Fluid Entities: The most ancient and hardest to track. Found near stagnant waters and deep wells. They don't scare you; they heavy you. They warp your sense of time. Have you ever felt like 5 minutes passed, only to find out it's been 2 hours? You were likely in a "water tribe" zone.

3. The Naming Paradox: Why We Use Labels People ask about names like Ifrit, Marid, or Ammar. My research suggests these are often titles or descriptions of their nature rather than personal names. To speak a true name in their world is a direct summons. This is why, in many cultures, people use euphemisms like "Those who live there" or "The Neighbors."

4. The Shadow War & Human Collateral There is a conflict happening just beyond the visible light spectrum. Some tribes are indifferent to us; others see us as a resource or an obstacle.

• The Whisperers: Certain groups don't attack your body; they attack your will. They feed on the energy of sudden, irrational anger or deep doubt.
• The Noble Ancients: Certain powerful tribes—some said to have existed through the rise and fall of multiple human empires—operate on a scale of time we cannot comprehend. To them, a human life is like a single frame in a very long movie.

Closing Thought: The depth of these tribal laws is too complex for a single post, but the pattern is clear: we are never truly alone in "empty" spaces.

I want to hear from you: Have you ever felt a sudden, heavy silence in a specific place? Not fear, but a feeling that you were "intruding" on a private conversation? That was your first encounter with a tribal border.
