Erotic Christianity

October 9, 2015

A very long time ago, Christian leaders decided two things: 1, that sexuality was an unwanted necessary evil; and 2, that women were by their very natures an occasion of sin. These two ideas have affected the religion ever since. And yet, hidden in its past is a very different vision of the human experience, one in which sexuality was celebrated as sacred and women were looked upon like men, as holy beings. This week on Dreamland, we explore early Christian sexuality and morals.

UFOs “Roamed at Will” on the Night of the Supermoon

Last week’s astronomical event known as the “blood moon” created a sensation on social media, with thousands of related photos and messages. It is a relatively frequent phenomenon, occurring every 15, 16, 17 or 18 years. The last supermoon occurred on the 27th of September of 2015, making it 14% larger than it is usually seen, and also coinciding with a full lunar eclipse. The next event will occur in the year 2028 or 2029. However, there was a strange link between the event and the manifestation of unidentified flying objects. Fortunately , it was possible to secure some visual evidence.

A sequence of photographs taken in Brasilia (Brazil) shows an unidentified flying object near the supermoon on Sunday evening (the 27th). The photos were taken from Engenho das Lajes, Federal District, as from 18:00 hours.



According to civil engineer Viviane Taham, the object was shiny and moved in different directions. “It appeared to the left, elevated itself in a diagonal direction, then descended diagonally, and finally returned as if headed toward the moon before finally disappearing.”

A total of 21 photographs were taken casually by the her daughter, who wanted to capture the full eclipse of the moon on her cellphone. The young woman was inside the vehicle with her father and two other people. Everyone was impressed by what they were seeing.

“My daughter phoned me at the time and said: “I saw a UFO!” and I told her no, that she had seen a light and we didn’t know what it was. “Its movement was odd,” Viviane added.

“I don’t know whether I believe in aliens or not. I had never considered such a possibility. I never saw anything like it,” said the engineer.The Brazilian Air Force was consulted to see whether any official records on the event could be found, but no official reply has been received up to now.

In Campo Grande (Brazil), George Tamaras obtained one of the more impressive pieces of evidence. His video displays the transit of a UFO during the supermoon.It was a ball of white light and it glowed intensely. The likelihood of the object having been an airplane was removed by the UFO’s lack of a definite position.

A witness in Buenos Aires (Argentina) also managed to record the astonishing astronomical event, being able to capture the exact moment at which several unidentified objects appeared on the scene.

“Last night, some objects were seen crossing [the moon] during the eclipse, and many people following the event on the TV claimed seeing a shooting star. It is clear that this was not a meteorite or anything similar. Rather, these were elongated bolides, like cigar-shaped UFOS. At least that’s what my recording shows,” said the witness.

Legendary Tomb of Nefertiti May Have Been Found

Queen Nefertiti: wife to the pharaoh Akhenaten, co-founder of a revolution in Ancient Egypt's religion, suspected stepmother to Tutankhamun, and also had possibly reigned as the pharaohness Neferneferuaten herself. Despite being such an influential and well-documented figure in ancient Egypt, the nature of the death of Queen Nefertiti, and the location of her tomb, has remained a mystery.

However, that mystery may soon be solved, if the suspicions of Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves prove to be correct. Recently, utilizing high-resolution 3D scans made by Madrid-based conservation group Factum Arte, Reeves discovered inconsistencies in the walls of Tutankhamun's tomb that suggested that there may be hidden passages beyond the famous king's mausoleum.

Las ranas resuelven problemas de computación

Cuando los machos de las ranas arborícolas japonesas cantan a la vez, las hembras no pueden distinguirlos para elegir al mejor, así que los pretendientes se ponen de acuerdo para entonar de uno en uno. Esta desincronización natural de los cantos ha inspirado el desarrollo de algoritmos computacionales, que se pueden aplicar al diseño de sistemas inalámbricos y al análisis de redes sociales, como Facebook o Twitter.

Spain: Military Aviator Recalls UFO Sighting Over Menorca

Rubén P. Atienza | MENORCA

A military flier says he pursued the object involved in the Manises Incident right to the island. The retired air force officer described in detail his pursuit of unidentified objects while aboard a Mirage fighter - a chase that led him to Menorca.

The unknown object incident that occurred on 11 November 1979 and popularly known as the Manises Incident is probably Spain's most famous UFO case. The mystery even reached the halls of congress, where deputy Enrique Múgica requested an explanation of what had taken place. There have been ample discussions about the incident, particularly following the declassification of the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force) files in 1994. But two decades later, the story is once again in the news, and in this case, with a connection that involves Menorca.

All of this arose from an interview on Radio Valencia (Cadena SER) of one of the main witnesses, retired Air Force Captain Fernando Cámara. The military man complied with the order to takeoff from the Los Llanos Air Force Base in Albacete in a Mirage fighter with the goal of intercepting some red lights that were stalking a commercial flight of the now-defunct TAE airline, which had just taken off from Mallorca on its way to Tenerife, and was forced to make an emergency landing in Valencia with 109 passengers aboard.



"I saw the light, although my radar didn't pick up anything. I was flying some 1000 kilometers an hour, and when I caught up to it, the light went from being static to flying in front of me at the same speed. I was aware that the object had detected me, because my fighter's alarm systems were triggered. But I was only able to see it with my own eyes," said Cámara on the radio broadcast.



The military jet requested permission to go supersonic, but when the pilot managed to approach the object, it matched his speed. He decided to pursue it to Zaragoza, but he decided to break off pursuit. Returning to Valencia, he was asked to fly over the vicinity of Sagunto, where strange lights had also been seen. "When I got there, I found myself facing a white disk. It was very different from the other light, but the interference it caused on my plane was the same. I chased it to the Menorca area, but faced with the impossibility of reaching it, and given the lack of fuel, I decided to turn back," he said.

Mystery Howls Prompt Bigfoot Investigation

The residents of a community on the north end of Vancouver Island in Canada are being haunted by mysterious howls coming from the woods, of which are also accompanied by sightings of the elusive creature known as Sasquatch, or Bigfoot.

At night, the residents of the community of Alert Bay, on Cormorant Island, British Columbia, have heard strange, non-human howling noises, despite the lack of wildlife on the small island. Some have suggested that what they're hearing is the howling of a dog, but witness Art Dick dismisses that theory: "With that volume, absolutely not. No dog can make that kind of a noise, with that volume."

Mexico: Video of UFOs Over Morelia, Michoacán

Our friend and colleague Arq. Claudio Mora of Mexico's La Esfera Azul is sharing two recordings of unidentified flying objects (UFOS) with eyewitness accounts. These sightings took place between the months of July and August 2015 over Morelia, the capital city of the Mexican state of Michoacán. Footage of the red UFO - the first one in the video clip - is from August 2015, recorded by Manuel Rivera Oviedo. The second UFO was recorded "moments after the recordings followed by the eyewitness accounts" in the direction of the Morelos Stadium. The original video is credited to Geovana Estrella Núnez, with post-production by Arq. Mora himself.

Joaquin Could Become a Superstorm

Hurricane Joaquin's rapid increase in intensity overnight, from a category 1 hurricane to a category 3 suggests that its cloud tops are driving into much colder air at the extreme edge of the stratosphere. The fact that this is happening even though the storm has a land mass under it means that it could continue to increase in intensity. However, this will not be certain for another 24 hours. If it either stays over the Bahamas and continues to increase in intensity while stationary, or increases when it moves over open water, it has the potential to become an extremely dangerous storm. There is no known way to predict whether or not this will happen, but like Katrina and Sandy, if it does happen, the change will unfold over a period of six to ten hours.

Secrets of Mediumship

September 30, 2015

Mediums can be fakes, and skillful fakes, and in our modern world, we dismiss them all. We do this under the assumption that there is no soul and therefore no afterlife. But is that a true assumption? Maxine Meilleur would say it's false, and in this wide-ranging interview with Whitley Strieber, she relates some profoundly convincing stories of mediumship that all add up to the same thing: the modern world is making a fundamental mistake. Just as science is gaining the capacity to understand why there might be such a thing as conscious energy, the general media, intellectuals and many scientists are retreating into rigid denial.
