Heaven
The year is 2020 and Heaven 2.0 is the new killer virtual reality app
While the singularity promises to radically change our earth beyond our current comprehension it is important to explore some of the esoteric possibilities associated with the combination of extreme "magic" i.e technology, and the global near pandemic millennialism. Religious or not we all have a collective anxiety over what the future has in store for us, and more importantly whether our current world affairs align with stories of ancient prophets. Although I agree that everything is open for debate based on perception, I simply wish to show you how New-age technology can fulfill literal translations of what is perceived as simply allegorical nonsense. We shall begin our exploration today with the following passage.
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."-Revelation 21
First I must explain, when I read the word "earth" in that line I am associating it with all that can be perceived, i.e the "earthly" realm of being. Thus the entire universe can be considered the "earthly" realm as this is the place the earth dwells, and heaven represents a place beyond this realm of perception (universe). It's important to establish two distinctly separate realities, as this can also be seen as a macrocosm of our more personal experiences with subjective and objective reality. We all have had to experience our subjective selves in contrast with our objective selves. As we grow up we quickly learn that people are way more than the appear to be, as inside each one of use lies a universe of concepts thoughts and experience. A universe that is on the verge of being hacked. If you are lost wondering what I mean, then take this into consideration.
Every day we are getting better at cyphering the process by which information enters our brains and how it is converted into the reality we perceive. This ability to alter our perception of the world will be a key foundation point for upcoming virtual reality technologies. The knowledge of learning the path data enters our inner world will be needed in order to replicate it, not that data going in, but rather how to send data in. Once we can send the visual cortex data from a synthetic eye then we can easily alter what that eye sees, and before you know it we wont even need the eye to send information to the mind's eye an illusionary image of reality. Yet all of this are still baby steps towards full brain manipulation.

What an awesome site - can't wait to read all the posts. Thanks for putting this up.
I'm really at my wits end today. This Joe Stack has really gotten to me. I can't believe the talking heads aren't ALL OVER this. Explains a lot.
Speaking of "talking heads" --here's a little mini concert for your listening pleasure this evening
Hey JC- Yeah, the world is upside down. Saw it coming a mile away, but now even the heads buried in the sand can't help but see it.
Joe Stack took off from the airport where I first soloed, and crashed into a building near where I once worked. Way too close to home for me, I'm weary from the weirdness. People are found weekly, floating in the river/lake that bisects Austin. That used to be very rare.
When The Talking Heads were on that tour, I sat on the roof of the artist co-op where I lived in S Austin, listening from across the river and up the hill from Fiesta Gardens to "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around..." ringing through the night air. It seem to echo from the very ether. They blew the doors off that whole part of town that night. Amazing, even from a distance.
