3i/ATLAS object coming? Disclosure?

Why is 3i/ATLAS such a big deal? Is it a UFO?

3i/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar object, perhaps just a comet [16][17], discovered by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) station. It follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun [5][c]. It will come as close as 1.8 AU (astronomical units, nearly twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth.

China just issued a warning about 3i/ATLAS — and NASA is silent!

(Newsmax) NASA is silent on 3i ATLAS' abnormal behavior: Dr. Avi Loeb

Therefore, it poses no threat [18] to Earth unless it is a UFO mothership, vimana, or extraterrestrial technology such as a probe intentionally sent to monitor this sector and region of space. It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov [19], hence the prefix "3i." It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible using binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on Oct. 21, 2025 [f], it could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite [20]. More

Could it be a vimana (aerial vehicle) like the one found in Afghan cave?

  (Vaimanika Shastra Shakuna)

  Vimānas are flying palaces or chariots described in Hindu texts and Sanskrit epics, which are disdainfully labelled "mythological." The Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana (who took it from Kubera, whereafter Rama returned it) is the most quoted example of a vimana. Vimanas are also mentioned in Jain texts, and Buddhist text contain a whole section on vimanas, talking about the karma that led beings to be reborn in or in possession of a vimana (space platform).
• ETYMOLOGY: The Sanskrit/Pali word vimāna (विमान) means "immeasurable" (WQ). Monier Monier-Williams defines vimāna as "a chariot of the gods [the devas], any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high," and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana of Ravana as an example. It may denote any vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories [1]. Nowadays, vimāna, vimān, and bimān all mean "aircraft" in Indian languages. More

Some germs eat plastic: new microbe

Can the Elementals help clean up?

Will microbes and mushrooms save the planet, clean the world, and make human and animal life sustainable like they have for millions of years even after we pump petroleum from the ground and make plastic out of it? Paul Stamets (fungi.com) knows that various species of fungi can remediate the soil by sequestering and cleaning up even atomic waste from Fukushima, to say nothing of oil spills and other corporate human waste products.

National Arbor Day (April 25, 2025)

The future Buddha, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, was born with the help of a sal tree in a garden.

.

Why the world needs millions more trees

Broadleaf. Evergreen. Conifer. How well do we really know our trees? Now we have a goal for National Arbor Day. Visit the arboretum.org in Los Angeles (by boat, not plane, like Greta Thunberg).

America’s first Arbor Day took place toward the start of the 1870s — right around the time the U.S. Congress established Yellowstone National Park with its Old Faithful Geyser.

Celebrate nothing less than humanity’s endearment toward nature on April 25th, just after Earth Day.

• Why the world needs millions of trees — and how to plant them right | Arbor Day Foundation
• NOTE: National Arbor Day always falls on the last Friday in April, but many states observe Arbor Day on different dates throughout the year based on their best tree planting times, which varies widely. For example:
• Alaska — Third Monday in May
• Florida — Third Friday in January
• Hawaii — First Friday in November
• Find every state’s date HERE.

What to do? National Arbor Day Activities

What one madman did in LA, we can all undo by getting out and helping nature (arborday.org).

.

Plant a tree, preferably one native and appropriate to the region.

• May we suggest using an acorn to produce an oak? And avoid watering its stem, but rather water around it to encourage it to grow strong roots far and wide.

What better way to celebrate Arbor Day than to plant our very own tree? It's an incredible experience watching a tree grow over the years.

Why did the Buddha love trees so much?

• One mark of goodness (Buddhist skillfulness, wholesomeness, unselfishness, selflessness, nongreed, letting go, generosity, loving-kindness, giving, dana, compassion, thoughtfulness) is "planting trees the shade of which we will never sit under" because they take so long to grow. Why should we be unselfish? One good reason might be to look around and realize that we have shade because of the kindness of others (Native Americans, land caretakers, and bhumma-devas or woodland fairies and angelic light beings) who came before us. That should be reason enough. But this reflection may also help: Just as we cannot harm others without simultaneously harming others, we cannot help others without simultaneously helping ourselves. It may not be obvious, but that's just the way it is by a natural regularity we can call karma, the law of receiving back in kind what we put out into the world, not only immediately but also after a long time.

It's an unbelievable feeling knowing that we made it happen. Don't print this article! Deforestation is a huge problem with many implications, and reducing our paper usage is the most immediate way to make a difference.

We can go a step further by seeking out brands with sustainable business practices (not just greenwashing by corporations and the PR firms they hire to sell sell sell), and by adopting strong composting and recycling habits.

  Siddhartha awakened with the help of this Bo tree

  EDITOR'S NOTE: Let's not just recycle the way they do in Hollywood. Let's precycle the way they have been doing in Berkeley for decades. What's that? It's considering where something is coming from, what waste it is producing by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Pre-cycling is thinking ahead of time, maybe even thinking out for seven generations like the Indigenous peoples of America, the Native American tribes, and the Buddha spoke of doing. The Buddha said that? When asked about benefiting the deceased by the "transfer of merit," the Buddha explained that we have relatives. And if we do something for one who is not in a place able to receive it, it will still benefit our other relations out for seven generations. It's an odd coincidence to mention seven if the two are not related, so either they both knew something or the Buddha's teaching reached the Americas just like American historians like Edward P. Vining (An Inglorious Columbus) and Rick Fields (How the Swans Came to the Lake) have documented happened centuries ago. How can we "transfer" good karma because isn't "karma" one's own doing? Yes, it is, but it can be transferred in this way, according to the Buddha. There are worlds one may be reborn into that provide little to no opportunity for doing good. If one has a deed done on his or her behalf AND one appreciates, approves, applauds, and rejoices on account of that, then that one so doing is producing lots of skillful (good, meritorious) mental karma. And that will be of benefit there in that place. Only some places allow for this transfer to take place, but the Buddha said that our "relatives" extend out for seven generations, and with so many beings involved, it is impossible that we would be without being in just such a place to receive our transferred karma. So it will not go to waste, and who knows? It may be that we find ourselves reborn in such a destination needing help and overflowing with gratitude (like the "grateful dead") when a relative does something good on our behalf.

Take a hike -- the good kind! Hiking is a great escape from the doldrums of everyday life, and it's an activity that's great for people across a wide age range.

• Where better to do it than out in nature? "Forest bathing" is a practice of doing it in the buff or at least scantily clad to absorb the dappled sunshine and negative ions as the trees and green environment exhales after breathing in what we exhale. It's an opportune time to be mindful rather than worried all full of discursive thoughts. 

Why We Love National Arbor Day

The Buddha, ready to pass away into final nirvana and make an end of all rebirth, walked faraway until he came to twin sal trees, reclined between them, and bid the simulation farewell.

.

Natural beauty is one reason. With so much of our population living in big cities, it's easy to lose sight of nature's greatness and splendor. Sniff a frangipani. Inhale the sappy ooze of a pine. Behold a cherry blossom.

Our planet needs love. Despite some disagreement about whether or not global warming is real and the fault of irresponsible corporations and thoughtless consumerism, there's no debating that keeping our planet healthy helps to keep us healthy. We avoid polluting, so let's avoid over-consuming.

There's a lot to love about a holiday that helps make our planet a better place. There's a global movement with over 40 nations having their own version of Arbor Day. Therefore, it's safe to say that this holiday is worldwide.

We've got a lot to be thankful for when it comes to trees, so it's only natural that so many cultures have their own day to celebrate. Source: National Arbor Day

"I am exposing the whole d*mn thing!" (MIND BLOWING!) | Randall Carlson

(Clarity Channel) Sept. 1, 2024: Randall Carlson: "I'm the biggest skeptic around, and what I saw can't happen. What I saw is impossible, but I saw it." I’m talking about technology that sounds like it's straight out of a Nikola Tesla fever dream. Yet, it's happening right now, and you won't believe it until you hear it all. This isn’t just another fringe idea. — This is the real deal, something that could fundamentally change how we think about energy, the environment, and maybe even our place in the universe!

"Planet of the Humans" (free film)

Producer Michael Moore (YouTube); Crystal Q., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Planet of the Humans is an American environmental documentary film written, directed, and produced by Jeff Gibbs.

It is backed and promoted by Michael Moore, who is also the executive producer. Moore released it on YouTube for free viewing on April 21, 2020, the eve of the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day.

A conclusion of the film is that green energy cannot solve the problem of society's expanding resource depletion without less consumption, which is by definition unsustainable given that the Earth is finite.

I stand by freedom of speech and our facts.

The film argues that renewable energy sources, including biomass energy, wind power, and solar energy, are not as renewable as their are portrayed to be.

The film has generated controversy and been criticized as partially outdated and misleading. More

Directed by Jeff Gibbs. Produced by Michael Moore, Jeff Gibbs, Ozzie Zehner. Starring Jeff Gibbs, Nina Jablonski, Ozzie Zehner, Richard Heinberg. Distributed by Rumble Media and YouTube. Release date July 31, 2019 (at the Traverse City Film Festival). Running time 100 minutes.

Activists at COP23 decry corporations

Reporting from COP 23 in Bonn, Germany, Democracy Now! ventures to the nearby blockade of the toxic Hambach Mine, the largest open-pit coal mine in Europe. Environmental activists say the mine extracts an extremely dirty form of coal called lignite, "brown coal." It causes the highest CO2 emissions of any kind of coal if burned. For more than five years, these beautiful climate protectors have been fighting to shut down the mine. They want to save the remaining German forest from being cut down to make way for the expanding the toxic capitalist project. Only 10 percent of the ancient forest remains at this time. On Sunday [Nov. 12], Democracy Now! drove down a dirt road, got caught in the mud, had to push, and bumped into an activist from the nearby city of Cologne, Germany, at the entrance to the remaining forest.

Ordinary alcohol works like gas (petrol)

Wisdom Quarterly; David Blume (alcoholcanbeagas.org)

Running cars on alcohol is better than hydrogen or non-solar electricity (ACBAG)

 

Anyone can become energy independent with alcohol fuel. Reverse global warming. Survive the end of Peak Oil. Alcohol fuel is "liquid sunshine" not controlled by trans-national corporations.
 
Anyone can produce alcohol for less than $1.00 (1 USD) a gallon using a variety of plants and waste products from algae to stale donuts. It is a much better and cleaner fuel than gasoline.

Motors were invented before gasoline (petrol) was, originally using alcohol. That is what car engines were invented to use. It can go into cars right now! No adjustments or modifications are needed. But Big Oil has scare tactics and powerful lobbyists.

Alcohol can also generate electricity. Alcohol burns so cleanly that, by law, gasoline must be added before using it in cars. It must be denatured so that people will not drink it. Brazil already uses it widely in as high as a 90% mixture. Ethanol would be added in the US, but the petrochemical industry worries about how that would affect its bottom line.

Alcohol fuel production is ecologically sustainable, revitalizes farms and communities, and creates huge new opportunities for small-scale businesses. Its byproducts are clean and valuable. Alcohol has a proud history and a vital future.  Learn more with the 5-minute video "Alcohol Fuel Overview," or view the Two-Minute Summary, and see the Alcohol Can Be a Gas! book and DVD.

Alcohol can be a GAS (car fuel)

Ethanol (robbybarbaro.org)

What was the real reason for the temperance movement's prohibition of all alcohol in the USA? It was an oil kingpin's funding in 1915 of women to oppose drinking. They were given four million dollars, which was used to pay off Congressmen who amended the constitution. This went on for years while gasoline, a waste product of the petroleum industry, became the dominant fuel. This happened in spite of the fact that the internal combustion engine was invented before gasoline was. Alcohol was the original fuel. Vegetable oil was the original diesel (biodiesel). Polluting petroleum made money for the oil business, which synthetically replaced whale oil and lard for heating. Brazil did not go into massive debt like other Latin American countries because they avoided borrowing money to purchase oil. Instead, they began using alcohol as fuel in mixtures between 25-90% alcohol to 75-10% gasoline with NO modification to vehicles. Modern cars have computers that automatically adjust to flex fuel mixtures. Cars could run on 100% gas but would need more air than they get on settings expecting gasoline. Emissions are drastically reduced by doing so. And since alcohol can be "grown" on the farm (by fermenting carbohydrates), their economy has prospered.

"GasHole" - the real history of oil (video)

Directors Scott Roberts and Jeremy Wagener; Wisdom Quarterly

a documentary film about the history of oil prices and the future of alternative fuel

The film "Gas Hole" is a wide and detailed examination of US dependence on foreign supplies of oil. What led America to go from a leading exporter of oil to the world's largest importer? What are the forces that contribute to that change and prevent its solution? 

The film examines many potential solutions to oil dependence. Starting with technology that dramatically improves gas mileage, to navigating bureaucratic roadblocks, to evaluating alternative fuels available now, to questioning consumer reluctance to embrace available alternatives.

"When We Grow...[Weed]" (film)

WhenWeGrow; Pat Macpherson and Wisdom Quarterly urban shamans/organic gardeners

(Finegold2) A film by Seth Finegold presented by Luke Bailey

Hemp is a miracle. Marijuana is a drug. Unfortunately, people think they are the same thing. Cannabis is a plant, a medicine, but propaganda makes us fear it. This is by deception and design not by nature. Ignorance is easy to cure with information. But fear lingers. And the laws instituted to protect oil and criminalize/demonize hemp are not nullified by having our eyes opened.

• WARNING: Consuming cannabis or encouraging others to consume it with the intention of getting high or, even without that intention, if it leads to heedlessness/carelessness, is breaking the fifth precept. The virtue manifested as the basic Five Precepts is essential to realizing enlightenment. Recreational drugs and alcohol are the way to delusion and self-deception.
  

Why did they -- those hired by the powers that be who grow obscenely rich at the expense of the planet and its populations -- prompt our destructive trade in petrochemicals like pharmaceuticals and plastics and environmentally degrading "fossil" fuels like oil and coal?

THC is an exaggerated, bred in, addictive, and largely destructive drug. But cannabis and hemp have much more important components than THC. There are cannabinoids, such as those Harborside Health Center makes sure are present at levels as high or higher than THC because they are what makes this plant-medicine spiritual. Few speak of them.

Harborside Health Center featured in a CNN segment with Dan
Simon on Measure F, a special cannabis tax in Oakland, California.

"When We Grow...This Is What We Can Do" is an educational documentary concerning the facts about cannabis. This feature-length documentary explores everything from industrial hemp to medicinal cannabis, from the origins of "marijuana" prohibition to the legality of weed growing equipment.

• The film features interviews with: Prof. David Nutt (Head of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs), Peter Reynolds (Head of CLEAR UK, formerly the Legalize Cannabis Alliance), and Sarah Martin (medicinal cannabis patient).
