[quote:Anonymous Coward 6853315:MV84NzI1OTBfMzc3NzcyNDBfM0FCNTczMEY=] In all fairness, I do, on occasion, buy ebooks from independent authors, in order to both support them and to acquire books that mainstream publishers won't touch. I bought "Dead Men's Secrets" directly from the author, Jonathan Gray, around 2003. This is a terrific book written by an archeologist who asks really good questions about ancient knowledge, such as why a five-thousand year old culture would have measurements in the micrometers, and to such an exact accuracy. It is only in the past year or two that I saw this book finally popping up on various forums. It took nearly ten years for that .pdf to start circulating the Internet with any degree of popularity. One of the best places for acquiring hard copy books might be paperbackswap.com. All you pay for is the postage to mail a book to someone. I have replaced entire bookcases a couple times over using this service. [/quote]

Hello!
I have been living in this world for some time now.
I came from a place also named Earth, much like this planet. There are a number of differences between my home and yours.
I thought it would be interesting to share a few things with you that are relatively common knowledge where I am from. My reasons for doing so will probably be more apparent in the future.
* Consciousness does not exist (but relationships do)
* Matter is gravity that has been structured
* We are not human (we are perspectives)
* When the totality of something cannot be grasped, it appears infinite.
* Space is not physical
* There is no "now" or "here", but relationships.
We use a kind of language like you use numbers here. Numbers, representations of abstract concepts, were 'invented' to work more easily with the world around us. Our language is no different.
If it were invented today it would probably be thought of as existing in parallel with science. A new kind of science.
This language also enables the shifting of perspective like a kind of mental technology. Some of you may find it quite interesting.
If anyone is interested in learning more please let me know.
Thanks.
