ET contacts, mates w/Indigenous tribe


The space alien who lived among humans in the Amazon jungle: Bep Karoroti

I didn't have sex with that woman
(THE AMAZING) AMAZON RIVER BASIN, Brazil - Dec. 5, 2024: Now and then online media report captivating stories about extraterrestrial beings (such as Venusian ET Valiant Thor). Assuming the truth behind the existence of such beings, one has to wonder, Where are they now?

Let's look into an account that has become a local legend concerning the Native American Kayapo people (Kaiapo, Caiapo) who live in the jungles of Brazil in South America.
Likeness of Bep Karoroti in armored spacesuit
Imagine a group of Indigenous people who live a serene life until suddenly, one night, a ghostly sound comes from the misty, snowclad Suruka Toti Mountains. It must have been scary, right? Little did they know that the serenity of their lives was about to be shattered by a space (or time) traveler not of this Earth. What the Kayapo encountered would forever blur the line between legend and reality, leaving questions that still haunt the tribe to this day.

(Musa Yalchin | Medium) This legend is often cited by ancient astronaut theorists who seek traces of modern technology in ancient times. Bep Kororoti’s attire, resembling a [metallic] space suit, and his advanced tools [including a devastating light weapon rod they called a "cob"] are considered intriguing evidence by these theorists.

However, scientists [desperate to preserve the Western narrative of separation, isolation, and uniqueness of humans who have no peers in all the universe, and certainly none who interact with us] generally approach such claims with [armchair] skepticism, suggesting these stories might be symbolic narratives. More

What about the Walking Trees? (video)

The biggest tree on Earth is bigger than imagined
(The Premier Discovery) Oct. 30, 2024: Top 20 Biggest Trees in the World. Trees have long stood as silent witnesses to the passage of time, some for thousands of years, growing to sizes that seem impossible. How big can a tree get? From trees so big they can’t be cut down to behemoths that survive fires because of how thick they are. The scale of some trees defies imagination. Here are trees from around the world that are bigger than our imagination can hold.

Hideous Hurricane Hilary hits California

No one seems to remember the monstrous Hillary (Nat'l Enquirer cover)

I'm not crazy and evil! Well, not crazy anyway!
(FOX/KHOU 11) Aug. 18, 2023, tropical update: Tropical cyclone (Hurricane Hilary 2023) is a Category 4 storm, being tracked. Emily is coming. There are waves on the Atlantic. Hilary is coming up from Lower California, Mexico, and is about to engulf Southern California. Meteorologist Tim Pandajis is keeping an eye on developments.

COMMENTS
@pepsiholic4084(WQ) I somehow feel that witch is involved, lesbian witch and star of her own show, warlord, warmonger, failed presidential candidate, killer secretary of state, and all around liar. She has her own little-known TV show to keep her quiet. Chelsea was on it recently. She's still a monster. She tweets out then blocks replies. Is she conjuring storms with witchcraft with her Hollywood pack? Wouldn't doubt it.

@davidlarson2534(@davidlarson2534) In the summer of 1978 there was a hurricane that moved north up the Gulf of California. I almost took my usual path of I-8 from San Diego to Phoenix but went to I-10 at Banning, CA, to catch some friends. Had I gone via I-8, I would have been part of the catastrophic destruction of that freeway on the eastern slope of the mountains. I traveled over the Colorado River near Blythe, CA. I was the last car to cross before they closed the freeway bridge because of potential destruction from the tropical storm.

(@catherinewilliams9680) Let's hope there are enough reservoirs in the path of this tropical storm to be able to hold some of this rain.

@catherinewilliams9680(@pepsiholic4084) Praying for you guys from Daytona Beach, Florida. Know exactly what you are going thru. Went thru 2 of them last year. Murdered our beach.

Hurricane Kay brings rain, flooding to SoCal

The Weather Channel; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly
At a Glance Hurricane Kay will weaken as it tracks away from Baja California into the weekend. Its moisture will wring out heavy rain that could cause flooding in Southern California. Kay will also bring strong wind gusts, especially to mountainous areas. Kay's moisture will fuel soaking rain in Southern California that could trigger flooding as strong winds also howl through parts of the region. K​ay made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane Thursday afternoon in Mexico's Baja California Peninsula southeast of Punta Eugenia. The storm is now weakening rapidly as its low-pressure center begins to curl westward well to the south of Southern California. VIDEOS: Kay bringing heavy rain, strong winds to Southern California (The Weather Channel)

Planting trees to reverse climate change (PBS)

Maiya May, PBS Terra, Oct. 18, 2021; Crystal Quintero, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The Surprising Truth Behind Planting Trees and Climate Change
(PBS Terra) Check out Out of Our Elements: For decades we’ve been planting trees in hopes of reducing natural carbon as if it were "pollution." But when it comes to carbon sequestration, which makes the world greener, have we actually been getting it all backward?


During the UN Climate Conference (COP26), the topic of carbon capture and storage was hotly debated. In this episode, PBS Terra travels to the Pacific Northwest forests of Oregon to see what we can learn about forest carbon sinks from Prof. Beverly Law and her groundbreaking research with Oregon State University’s Department of Forestry.

What about planting trees and forest carbon storage? Let's see in the comments. It's good and necessary but takes ten to 20 years before the ground started sequestering carbon. Until then the barren ground is putting out carbon from plant decay in the ground, which would happen even if new trees wewre not coming. So we must preserve old growth forests.

#OldGrowthForests #CCS #CarbonCapture

Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.

North Sentinel Island: Uncontacted (video)

GeoBrother on North Sentinel Island; Seth Auberon, Crystal Q. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


Sentinelese: World's Most Isolated Tribe
The "Sentinelese" are the world's most isolated tribe. They are uncontacted humans living on North Sentinel Island, India, one of the Andaman islands in the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean.

Get out: American missionary killed by tribe
They vigorously reject all contact with outsiders. The Indian government altogether abandoned their plans to establish contact with the Sentinelese. Many believe that it is vital to respect their wish to remain uncontacted. Contact with them would endanger them because they have no immunity to common diseases. It is vital to leave them be. If not, the entire tribe might be wiped out. Contact imposed on other tribes on the Andaman islands has had a devastating impact.

Spring Equinox: Happy First Day of the Year!

Happy "New Year"! (In Buddhist Asia, as in most of the ancient world, spring marked the New Year not an arbitrary Gregorian designation ruining a calendar once in perfect sync with Luna/Chandra our Moon, who gives us our seasons, and Sol/Surya our Sun, who floods us in cosmic rays). 

Happy Nowuz from Tehrangeles and Feliz Primavera from Olvera St., formerly Mexico (both well rooted in bustling Los Angeles)!

A new beginning
Meditating on a mandarava flower
With the renewal of Gaia/Bhūmi our Earth we, too, can make a renewed resolve to meditate or at least to be more "mindful" and present as our day unfolds. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, the adage goes, and whether we've heard it before or find it new and insightful, isn't it? If today is, can't we choose to do things differently from now on right at this moment? When else are we EVER able to choose, or do, or accrue karma/merit other than right NOW? So some say, "Now is all there is." Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Ram Dass, the Beatles in India, even the Panchen Lama and his elder would agree. We hear as savakas. We see it. We live it.

Meditation
Reclining meditation (pinterest)
Here is a fascinating meditation to breakthrough to serenity, insight, and self-knowledge. O, what I wouldn't give to be calm! (It helps to begin with a blessing to pre-direct the mind/heart, honoring the Three Jewels of the Enlightened One, the Enlightened Teaching, and the Enlightened listeners/practitioners. This will help if fear arises that one will be unprotected, "open" and susceptible to inimical-influences like spirits, as so many fundamental Christians, Catholics, and Muslims warn).

INSTRUCTIONS: Sit comfortably. Breathe deeply. Let go. Let go of thinking, breathing, sitting, doing, and let it happen. Let what happen? Serenity will happen. Accept the suffering and let it pass right through without holding on. (Resisting is a form of holding on).

When there is serenity, it becomes possible to gain absorption and develop successful insight (east coast) for liberation.
