Kid builds Directed Energy Weapon 'death ray'

Make this kid a US citizen, hire him, and send
him to space to work for our new Space Force

The young scientist’s twist on a legendary ancient weapon might just re-write history. Ancient Greece mathematician Archimedes believed a "death ray" was plausible, so a middle school student from Canada put the concept to the test.

Brenden Sener of Ontario won multiple medals for his miniature version of the Archimedes Death Ray, crafted with light and mirrors.

No archaeological evidence [shown to us] proves the death ray was ever [built and] employed, but Sener believes it very well could have been.

It might be surprising to learn that then-12-year-old Brenden Sener of London, Ontario, Canada, was enthralled by Ancient Greek concepts posited by mathematician Archimedes.

But it probably makes more sense when we find out what exactly those concepts were. Archimedes wrote about harnessing the Sun’s energy to create a death ray. And Sener wanted in. More:

CIA: Adam and Eve, end of the world

CIA's classified book about pole shift, mass extinctions, the true Adam & Eve story

(The Why Files) Jan. 12, 2023: In 1966 a well-known engineer released a book with information that could impact everyone on earth. But before anyone could read it, it was classified by the CIA. We only learned of its existence a few years ago because of a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request. The CIA only released 57 pages of the original 284-page manuscript. And those pages have been, in the CIA's own words, "sanitized" (redacted). Why does the CIA think this book is so dangerous that it has been hiding it from the public for 60 years? Most of it is still hidden. It's because the man who wrote it describes the end of the world. #CIA #Conspiracy #EndOfTheWorld

In search of the mythical kingdom

Bon is a dangerous black magic tradition.

In Tibetan Buddhist and Vedic Hindu traditions, Shambhala (shambala, Sanskrit शम्भल, Tibetan བདེ་འབྱུང,  Chinese 香巴拉) is a mythical kingdom.

Similarly, Mexican/Aztec Aztlan (Atlantis) is beneath the sea and land; it is a glorious underworld cavern system -- in Agartha (the real "Middle Earth"). But the term can be applied to any "shangri-la."

Aztlan (caves) of Agartha/Atlantis

It is mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Kala-chakra Tantra (The Tantra, Victor M. Fic, Abhinav Publications, 2003, p.49) and the ancient Zhangzhung texts of Western Tibet.

The Bon (pre-Buddhist black magic/shaman) scriptures speak of a closely related land called Tagzig Olmo Lung Ring (The Bon Religion of Tibet, Per Kavǣrne, 1996).

Leaving Atlantis or Aztlan for Mesoamerica

Vedic/Hindu texts such as the Vishnu Purana (4.24) mention the village Shambhala as the birthplace of Kalki, the nemesis of the demon Kali and the final incarnation of Vishnu.

Vishnu (who is said to have incarnated as Krishna, the Buddha, and Christ avatars) will usher in a new Golden Age or Satya Yuga (Shambhala: The Fascinating Truth Behind the Myth of Shangri-La, Victoria LePage, Quest Books, 1996, pp.125-126).

We're going to find the entrance and then get to Shambala (Roerich/helenastales).

.

Tibetologist Nicholas Roerich

The legends, teachings, and healing practices associated with Shambhala are older than any of these organized religions.

Shambhala may very well have been an indigenous belief system, an Alti-Himalayan shamanic tradition, absorbed into these other religions.

This pre-existing belief system, also called Mleccha (from Vedic Sanskrit म्लेच्छ, meaning "non-Vedic"), and the amazing abilities, wisdom, and long life of these "sun worshipers" who "consume" amrita (solar essence) produced under the tongue (the Siddhi from the Vedic Sanskrit सिद्धि of the ancient Surya Samadhi समाधि) is documented in both Buddhist and Hindu texts.

 

Whatever its historical basis, Shambhala (spelling derived from Buddhist transliterations) gradually came to be seen as a Buddhist pure land (an idea corrupted or derived from the Buddha's concept of the Pure Abodes), a fabulous kingdom whose reality is visionary or spiritual as much as physical and geographic.

It was in this form that the Shambhala myth reached the Americas and Western Europe, where it influenced Buddhist and non-Buddhist spiritual seekers -- and, to some extent, popular culture in general. More

Bigfoot hunters in rugged W.Va. wilderness

Bigfoot hunters turn to rugged W.Va. wilderness

(AP) ELKINS, West Virginia — A team of Bigfoot enthusiasts is hoping to find the legendary creature in the bogs and barrens of a West Virginia wilderness area. Members of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia went camping in the rugged Allegheny Mountain highlands of the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area with GPS navigators, cameras, voice recorders and plaster of Paris to make casts of huge footprints.

Lloyd Pye on Hominoids (Buddhist yakkhas or rakshasas) and proof of alien intervention, 2005

Billy Willard, founder of the group, says they're looking in places where people have reported sightings. He says he has never seen Bigfoot himself. Bruce Harrington, the group's self-described skeptical member, says he has yet to see convincing proof that the creature exists. The group took plaster casts of suspicious prints but didn't spot the creature during the expedition last weekend.

China's "Shangri-La" is a real dream

A street in China's officially recognized Shangri-La (Chicago Tribune/Ashley Colby).

SHANGRI-LA, China -- If you've ever dreamed of finding Shangri-La -- that mythical mountain paradise made famous in James Hilton's novel The Lost Horizon -- it's time to wake up. These days, the elusive Shangri-La isn't that hard to find. It's in China's Yunnan province.

• Buddhism (Chicago Tribune)

It might not be exactly what you had in mind, however. When I arrived in Shangri-La, it was cold and raining, and there was a cow eyeing me as it lapped up water from a bucket in the Old Town, a patchwork of wooden houses on narrow streets. Not exactly the shining pathways and endless enlightenment I imagined, but I had just gotten there.

Shangri-La, with a population of more than 100,000, is nestled in a valley near the edge of the Tibetan Plateau in far south-central China, about 1,000 miles northwest of Hong Kong. In the far distance are glimpses of Himalayan snow-capped peaks hiding behind much lower mountains that hug the city.

In the late 1990s, with the expanding Chinese middle class thirsty to spend tourist yuan, several Chinese provinces started claiming they were the true Shangri-La. The government saw an opportunity and proposed that each place prove through empirical research that its physical characteristics match those in the novel. Several years later, Zhongdian County in Yunnan province was granted the title.

People come to get a glimpse of Tibetan Buddhist culture. Getting into Tibet can be difficult for tourists. Shangri-La, however, lies just outside the formal Tibet Autonomous Region but well within the plateau where Tibetans reside. More>>

Shangri-La Found by Mountaineer

Secrets of Shangri-La lectures (Benaroya Hall, Seattle)

(Seattle Times) Did Shangri-La — the mythical, Himalayan city first mentioned by a 5th century Chinese poet as a utopia for Buddhists — actually exist? Peter Athans, a much-respected, Bainbridge Island-based moun-taineer who has reached the summit of Mt. Everest seven times, may know the answer. In 2007, Athans explored the hidden, ancient kingdom of Mustang, in Nepal. His "National Geographic Live!" presentation, "Secrets of Shangri-La," takes place at Benaroya Hall [on April 13-14, 2009]. Q&A and more>>

"I'll be speaking about three expeditions I led over the last two years into Nepal's remote and exotic Kingdom of Mustang. Mustang was for many years closed to foreigners, earning it the moniker 'the highest and most forbidden kingdom in the world.' The current monarch is the 25th in a lineage that has existed for more than 600 years. It is one of the remaining few Himalayan Buddhist kingdoms."
