(HISTORY) April 14, 2024: #TheUnXplained Is there proof that the devil (the Adversary, the Opponent, the Satan) is actually real, at least to some extent? Buddhism has Mara, who is a charming and scary Lucifer/Cupid figure. See more in this compilation from The UnXplained.

Lebanon angers the giant war-hungry US/Israel
Sir Keir Starmer has told British nationals in Lebanon to "leave now" [because Israel is about to re-invade and occupy its sovereign Christian neighbor] as conflict [terrorism] between Israel [against the political party] Hezbollah continues to escalate [or be escalated by the CIA, Pentagon, Mossad, and weapons manufacturers].
Speaking to the BBC, the prime minister said: “Leave now. It’s very important. The situation is escalating. We need the situation to de-escalate, but I say to British nationals, ‘Don’t wait; leave now.’”

“We are ramping up the contingency plans for an evacuation as you would expect, but my message is, ‘Don’t wait for that.’”
“There are commercial flights still coming out. It is important to leave and to leave now.”
Britain is moving 700 troops to Cyprus to be ready for an emergency evacuation of UK citizens of Lebanon as Israel’s military pounds the region. Thousands of civilians have been fleeing southern Lebanon as Beirut is flattened by Israeli strikes, leaving cars and roads covered by the rubble debris of exploded buildings and hundreds killed and 1,000 wounded.
An estimated 10,000 British nationals are reported to be in the country. They have been urged to leave, though with airlines not running to the Middle Eastern nation, their options are few and far between.
The Royal Air Force has planes and transport helicopters on standby to provide support. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has told Britons not to "rely" on the department for emergency escape routes, though the department alongside Border Force is supporting military teams.
Defence Secretary John Healey announced the move to dispatch more troops to Cyprus, about 160 miles away over the Mediterranean Sea, at a meeting of the government’s emergency response cell, Cobra, yesterday.

(HistoryUnexplained Studio) May 19, 2023: What is the oldest video on YouTube? The first movie ever made was in 1888. But the first video ever recorded in history was the Roundhay Garden scene. What makes it the oldest video ever?
The movie industry has seen top movies like James Cameron’s Avatar and Marvel’s Avengers make billions of dollars at the box office. It has been estimated that there are approximately 500,000 movies (or narrative fiction, feature-length, theatrical-cinema films) in existence at present.
The video hosting website YouTube has over 800 million videos on its platform. These videos would take up to 9.36 billion minutes or 17,810 years to view.
Movies, and video clips in general, make up a huge part of our lives, but how did it start? This video about videos takes a look at some of the oldest videos ever recorded and glances at the lives of people who lived more than 100 years ago.

A winter storm will likely affect parts of the East with snow, rain, and wind this weekend.
The snowfall forecast for this system is still uncertain, especially for areas near the I-95 corridor.
The storm's future track, intensity, and how much cold air will be available are three of the uncertainties.
This is nothing compared to North Asia
A winter storm will likely produce snow, rain, and wind on the East Coast this weekend, but uncertainty remains at this early stage given questions about the storm's track, intensity, and how much cold air will be available near the coast.
Here is where the storm is now and where it is headed the next few days: The disturbance that will help spur the storm's development in the East will track from the Southwest toward the Central Plains into Friday.
Below is a look at the latest radar, showing where this system is producing rain and snow in the West right now.
Snowfall totals will generally be light to moderate from the southern Rockies into parts of Kansas and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. More
Alan Watts via Healthy Minds, March 4, '21; Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
What are the hidden assumptions behind our language and figuring, reading and 'rithmetic? The false dichotomy of mind and matter, brain and body, leads us to mistakes in our paradigm, our philosophical view of life and its meaning.
Alan Watts: Language and its Limits
(Healthy Minds) "The Limits of Language" full lecture, Parts I and II, by Alan Watts, the renowned Western mystic and teacher of Eastern philosophy and esoterica.
I get In My Own Way along The Way or Tao
Watts has helped guide countless lives to peace and success. He's an inspirational, motivational speaker, delivering ancient Buddhist and other Eastern wisdom and esoteric knowledge in ways understandable to our Western assumptions, questioning them and turning them around.
How can we turn around and see our own head that's thinking about seeing? See? It runs away. We never get at it. We can hardly bite our own teeth or touch the tip of this finger with the tip of this finger. This is the principle.
The Indian founder of Hinduism, Shankara, explained this beautifully in his commentary on the Kena Upanishad, where he says, “That which is the knower – the ground of all knowledge – is never itself an object of knowledge, just as fire does not burn itself.”

Collins Key, TEDx Santa Barbara, 12/18/17; Crystal Q., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Hoo-hoo, Collins, magic is Key! Dont'cha know it's all about misdirection and perception?
The surprising secret that solves your problems quickly | Collins Key | TEDxSantaBarbara
Hi, I'm Collins. I have the Key!
(TEDx Talks) The answer to EVERY problem is hiding in plain sight. This is an education and entertainment focused TEDx Talk by Collins Key.
He gained national notoriety for becoming the first magician to become a finalist on America’s Got Talent and is currently one the world’s biggest family and kid friendly comedy YouTube influencers with over 8 million subscribers.
He uploads viral videos and teaches his millions of fans how to make fun comedy and humor DIY food experiments/technology life hacks.
In this engaging performance Collins Key breaks down learning the surprising secret that solves our problems quickly by using the art form of magic. He explains that the answer to every problem is hiding in plain sight: It's a matter of perception, that is, of avoiding misperception.
The only question left to learn in this TED talk is, Do you see it?
ABOUT: Collins Key, with 6.5M+subscribers, is one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube, having gone from 1M to 6M subscribers in less than a year. His unique blend of viral trends and family-friendly content makes his channel unlike any other with over 100M views in the last 30 days.
At the age of 17, he was the first magician to be voted into the finals in eight seasons of America’s Got Talent.
On the show, he completely changed the perception people had of magic with his innovative style and mind-blowing performances. Soon after, he embarked on a 30-city tour opening for Demi Lovato in front of 12,000 to 15,000 screaming fans a night, something a magician had never done before.
His record-breaking and award-winning scripted series with AT&T, The Disappearing Girl, showcased his brilliant innovation and a new way to partner with brands. And recently Collins and his brother have been featured on the newly perverse Disney Channel.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
This compilation takes a look at 100 unsolved mysteries that cannot be explained. It appears that the more we uncover, the less we know about the nature of our world. It seems like more and more mysterious events surface from all over the world that are more than just impossible to explain. They completely defy what we know to be possible within the realms of physics and science.
Santāpa:oppression by burning
The senses are the source of so much suffering by means of the defilements, which they awaken in the hearts of people.
These defilements are like great fires that are continually re-fueled and burn without dying down from the beginningless past to the endless future in the round of birth and death or samsara.
These great fires are three in number, the fires of:
greed
aversion
delusion.
And when they are re-fueled through the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and/or mind, they ensure that one’s future in samsāra will be long and miserable.
It is right-view knowledge that gives one an understanding of the immense sea of suffering born of attachment to sense pleasures -- whether one is reborn in the sense sphere, the fine-material sphere, or the formless sphere.
2. Right view of the causal arising of suffering
In the round of birth and death, the continued wandering on (samsara), so long as there is attachment to the senses as “mine” or “myself,” so long continues oppressiveness and suffering. So it is craving, desire, and greed connected with the senses that is the true immediate cause for the arising of suffering.
It is right-view knowledge that gives one understanding of the causal arising of suffering by way of craving.
3. Right view of the cessation of suffering
In whatever life the craving and greed connected with the senses finally cease, the suffering and oppression finally cease as well. The senses do not arise again after the death of the person who has extinguished craving.
It is right-view knowledge that gives one understanding of the cessation of craving.
4. Right view of the path leading to the cessation of suffering
When, as a result of practicing Dharma in general and developing the mind in meditation in particular, the true nature of the senses is seen and understood, craving connected with them ceases [of its own accord] in this very life. It does not arise again, so sense oppression likewise does not arise.
It is right-view knowledge that gives one understanding of the true path leading to the cessation of craving. Among all the parts of the Noble Eightfold Path, this right view of the Four Noble Truths is most essential.
This concludes the brief exposition of right view of the Four Truths.
II. Right Thought
This is explained under three headings:
Thoughts of renunciation (i.e., generosity).
Thoughts of non-harming (i.e., loving kindness).
Thoughts of non-violence (i.e., compassion).... More
"Cryptid" cat sightings are a worldwide phenomena. For decades, there have been accounts of large black cats roaming the countryside of Great Britain. As well, recent mutilations of horses and livestock in Australia have prompted fear that undocumented large cats also dwell on the continent.
Over the past few years, there has been an increased number of large cat sightings recorded throughout the United States, especially in the mountainous regions. Most descriptions have been similar to those of cougars or panther-like creatures, large muscular felines with long tails. Though, many of the reports proved to be that of a large feral cat or an oversized pet. More>>
