The Wonderful Blog Which You ve Never Seen

It has recently been announced that VCR’s are obsolete and several electrical chain stores have said that they will no longer stock them. This seemed to happen very suddenly, there is usually a build up to this sort of announcement and we are accustomed to things being gradually phased out. Not this time though, the news just burst upon us and people who have not yet become comfortable with DVD technology are in a panic.

It seemed to me that the VCR had not been around for very long. I could understand this sudden rush on the part of the stores to remove it from their shelves if it was a failed experiment but the VCR has been a monster success. I suppose this is just an example of how the rush towards obsolescence and replacement with new inventions has speeded up.

I don’t have a problem with using a DVD recorder and the discs certainly take up much less storage space than the big old video tapes. It just made me feel suddenly old. No, not quite that, more as if I should be feeling older than I do. Don’t get me wrong, I am not all that ancient (baby boomer if you would care to know), but I have a problem with getting old. The problem is that I never feel any older and the face I see in the mirror sometimes takes me by surprise because in my mind I am still about nineteen. My children are no doubt thankful that my youth remains in my head and is not reflected in my wardrobe or social habits.

When I was a child, the VCR was still waiting around for someone to come along and invent it. Suddenly, it has been invented, been scaled down to a quarter of its original size and is now well on the way to disappearing altogether. The meteoric career of the VCR started me thinking about how many other things which we take for granted did not exist or were too expensive to be owned by the average person when I was a child.

Other generations have experienced massive events and social change. Nothing I have lived through can compare to the two World Wars. There was the invention of the National Health Service, the discovery of penicillin, the industrial revolution, the first aircraft, nylon. If you want to go back further there was the invention of the wheel and discovering how to make fire but I feel as if my generation must have seen a larger number of changes (great and small) than any previous one.

So much has happened within my lifespan: scientific inventions, historical events and cultural changes. Some, like space travel and the internet, are momentous. Some, like motorways, are part blessing and part curse. Some, like the cell phone and everyone owning a fridge, we don’t even notice as being progress because nobody thinks about it. I doubt many people spend time reflecting upon the fact that, a few years ago, the cell phone was the size and weight of a house-brick and needed a long aerial.

The internet has made possible all the mad scientist dreams which inspired the writing of many shelves of fiction. We are now quite blas

One of the tasks of science (and scientists) is to show the true nature of things… Does eliminating Pluto as the ninth planet fall under this description? Is this what science should produce, that we have to rewrite millions of schoolbooks and to explain the children in the world the difference between a real planet and a fake one?

Scientific thought could influence our society a great deal. The impact of the scientific work of scientist does in fact constantly influence our thought and behavior. The discovery of the relative theory or the quantum theory was exported to other areas of society and imported in cultural behavior. But the question is whether this new discovery that Pluto is no longer to be accepted as a planet, will not influence us at all.

What it will bring about is the way that we think of scientist. Scientists are on average extremely competent in producing thoughts, ideas, concepts and theoretical dissertations. On average, their commercial talent is less developed. This is not a problem, because you cannot have it all. As long as there are people in between, the fruits of science will reach us anyway.

At the moment it looks more that the scientist are trying to sell their own ideas and that will go at cost of investigating more and new concepts. Or put the other way, because of a lack of new ideas or concepts, scientists are dedicating their time to convince us that we should rethink where we are.
This is not their job. When there is something interesting we will be informed about it, because of some virus (marketing) that escapes the scientific laboratories. If there is no real news, let us just continue to think that Pluto is a planet - even if we are wrong. It will hurt nobody.

The Pluto case shows indeed the truth nature (of scientists): They are only human.

Armageddon, is it upon us? Are we in the final seven years of our present day world?

From the very beginning of existences, scientists, and great thinkers of all times have been trying to figure out the evolution of our world. They believe and teach that a huge explosion erupted scattering particles that came together and formed the solar system and later put together the human race and all things surrounding our world. Yet today they fear that our world is at a point where extinction is possible, because of the way we have abused the resources of our planet.

Theologians believe God created the universe and earth. Using the Bible as the ultimate authority of how our world was formed and how human life came into being. They believe that according to the Word of God our world is coming to the end.

Today a new and different theory has come to the surface. The idea that our world was formed as a playing field. An elaborate Life Game where people’s sole purpose are to be put to the test. Tests that are meant to change them for the more perfect world to come.

Look at how our world has been formed and how people and our environment interact within every human being’s life. If we are in a Life Game then our world must be more than the physical and concrete of our present day lives.

To be in a Great Game of Life is to acknowledge that we are like puppets under the influence of a greater and higher intelligence. A Creator, who must influence our thinking and lead us down paths to reveal the greatest purpose behind the Game of Life, a divine plan for human evolution.

To play the Game of Life is to understand the unexplained happenings within the makeup of the human consciousness. One of these mysteries is revealed in the anomaly that as human beings we only use 10 percent of our brains.

Scientist have for years speculated that the remaining 90 percent of the brain must be some sort of storage ground. In the game of life it is speculated that this part of our brain is the very core where the battle between right and wrong is fought. A Spiritual existence that leads us to paths of learning.

While our world only needs 10 percent of our brains for us to live in the concrete, our Game of Life needs 90 percent in order for us to play our game to gain the maximum level of achievement.

In a game no one knows the outcome until it comes to the end. This is the very reason why we come to this world not knowing we are in a game. To know we are in a game is to win before we ever begin.

Not knowing we are in a game gradually takes us through life experiences revealing secrets little by little. That is the reason why we have the unexplained areas in our brain. This area is our spiritual existence that pushes us into each different experience we must go through in order to achieve the goals for our particular game.

When we suffer we are lead into different levels of understanding that reveals to us the difference between right and wrong. This game is so complex because it uses every fiber of our human makeup in order to help us to come to a truth.

A truth that reveals the evil ways of our present day world. A message that brings us through the tribulations of life and leads us to revelations.

The whole goal of our existences is to be changed into new people. A person full of compassion for our fellowman and who does not judge, because we have learned to endure the pain of unjust suffering. That is the purpose behind living in a corrupt and evil world.

To think of how our world game has been formed is to unlock the complexities of our existence. Remember to be part of a game we must be challenged. How better to do this than to have a world with people of multi-ethnic backgrounds and different lifestyles.

Our belief systems plus how our different governments work opposing each other reveal the difference that help us to come to the ultimate conclusions of who is wise and who is ignorant.

While one government promotes democracy another demands communism. While Christians believe in Jesus, Muslims believe in Ala and Hindus’ believe in Buddha. All of our different beliefs combined with our different lifestyles challenges us as we learn revelations while we proceed down the different paths of life.

It is a known fact that each person’s life is predisposed to a particular personality and to different levels of intelligence. In our Game of Life each person’s life has a destiny completely designed to navigate through this world on a certain path.

That is the reason why some people are doctors, while others are mechanics and barbers. Our world is carefully put together giving each person a direction in life they must accomplish in order to bring about a balance for the world’s game.

In order to play the game to the highest degree of achievement we must have a belief system. We must either believe in the world or we must believe in a Higher Being. This is why in order to win we must believe in God.

If we don’t believe in God then we are limited to this world’s way of handling life. When we place our faith in the unseen God then we expand our world and are open to the deeper complexities found through knowing the truth surrounding the spiritual dimension of our existence.

Today people are experiencing greater levels of testings with the inventions brought on by the communications industries. We see world events unfolding on our televisions. We hear about how our destructive use of our natural resources have influenced the earths atmosphere. We see the devastation brought on by hurricanes, floods and all forms of natural disasters.

Today even the motives of our world leaders are brought out for all people to see and understand. Nothing is hidden any longer all things about our weak human existence is being revealed because it is time to understand that our world game is about to end.

Now is the time for all people to see that they are not in this world to lead their lives for what the world has to offer. Our battle is one of learning, but just like a board game must end so the Game of Life must end. We are here for a greater purpose. A purpose that reaches beyond this world and into an eternal existence.

This eternal world is our reward for going through the trials of life and winning the greatest game of them all!

My name is Linda C. Dipman and I am the author of “The Game of Life It’s Almost Over”. My web page is www.outskirtspress.com/gameoflife. In my new book I prove through scripture and by using the example of my own life story that we are in a huge multifaceted game. With the knowledge I explain how the game is played and how to win. Twenty million people are depressed in our world today, many have lost hope not only in themselves, but in the American dream. Knowing we are in a game, helps people to step back from their lives and have hope that they have and purpose that goes beyond their present day pain. thegameoflife
