Poetic Earthlings

A Television set gives Delion glimpses into the future, will he use this knowledge to feed his gambling addiction or to save the world? Season 5, Episode 3 This story takes place in the 1930's when Televisions were a hot commodity. Owning a television was a symbol of wealth and status. Every family craved for a picture box even though the screen was small and the images were in black and white. There were only a couple of channels and the content was subpar but it was the latest and greatest technological achievement. Remember when Apple launched the IPhone in 2007. We marveled at its touch screen display and smooth edges. It could make calls, play music and even surf the web. However there was no Gmail, Facebook and other third party apps, you couldn't even cut and paste. This did not stop the average consumer from going ape crazy for the new device. A television was like an iPhone but on steroids. In this story Delion was trying to compete with his neighbor by buying a picture box and not just any old picture box but one that displays a window into the future.

A new law grants children the right to divorce their parents, but is the government going too far? Season 5, Episode 2 Our top news story this hour is the controversial Child Liberation From Parents Act that just passed in the house of commons. This law grants children full autonomy over every aspect of their lives. For example Children can divorce their parents and choose more suitable caregivers. Opponents to this law are outraged stating this is the demise of the traditional family. On the other side of the debate proponents said this was long overdue to grant equity to all Canadians.In a world where everyone is crying out for justice and equality is it possible to take things too far?

The Enforcer is wanted by the State as he travels through the Wasteland with a screaming, dirty and hungry Suzy by his side. Season 5, Episode 1 Written by: Samaritan Dark  Twitter @Samaritandark  We return to the post apocalyptic world where humanity's fate relies in the hands of a rogue Enforcer.  Even though the Enforcer is mechanical and his mind is a system of AI components he understands that humans are sacred.  He travels with Suzy through the Wasteland doing his best to protect her. By doing this he's defying his basic programming and the authority of the State.  We could all learn from the Enforcer, some government rules are immoral and go against the human soul.  Too often we're programmed and refuse to think for ourselves, whatever our leaders dictate we fall in line like trained seals.  As fellow citizens of Earth we need to speak clearly, boldly and passionately before all of our freedoms are stripped away.  Earthling Studio.

I became obsessed with this podcast so my wife wrote me her final letter. Micro Episode If we are not careful we can neglect the people we love the most. I was so focused on writing season 5 that I lost touch with my wife. I'm sharing this letter as warning, please don't be like me.

Some professional podcasters told me this is a good idea to attract more listeners but while I was recording I transported to 1985.

As you know I enjoy alien invasions, high speed car chases, and post apocalyptic worlds. Romance was never my thing until now. You may accuse me of having a typical male brain, whatever that means. But I'm not one dimensional, I do like the softer things in life such as puppies and rainbows.  However romance novels were never my thing. I always thought of them as too sappy, too mushy, but when I read Elevated Inferno by Carlotta Ardell it changed my mind.  For one it's not mushy and two it's not sappy. It's probably because the author is a Robotics Engineer so she doesn't get lost in emotional dribble. Yeah that's right my special guest designs robots. How cool is that? Why would a Doctor in Robotics write a romance novel? Podcast Editing Services Have you thought of creating your own podcast but can't be bothered with all the technical stuff. If you want to record and have someone else worry about the compression, the leveling, the sound clips and music then I'm your guy.

Many stories are distorted or forgotten by the machinery of time, on this bonus episode Author Brent Stark speaks of the unbelievable story of a tribe you may never have heard of. Off Season Episode is written by Brent Stark including the below synopsis Some people claim the site that sits at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains is so beautiful and serene that it reaches up and touches the face of God. It's a place covered with lush, green forests where crystal blue streams rush down the majestic hillsides, refreshing the land's inhabitants. But, on the other hand, some call it the saddest location in Ohio. Why? What happened here so long ago? Why haven't many heard about this tragic location? Make sure you tune in to learn about the bravery and faith displayed by those in the Houses of Grace.

The so-called "lived experience" what does it mean and why should we care. Off Season Episode There's always a new catch phrase hot off the assembly line that people use and abuse without measure. Case in point, "lived experience. "On this behind the scenes episode we'll see if this is a blessing or curse for writers.  Contact me on Twitter @poeticearthling and subscribe and follow the show at Poeticearthlings.com or Welcometoearthstories.com.

How one billionaire sparked mass hysteria and what this means for writers. You may have heard rumors of the sky falling and humanity torpedoing to its demise. Not from a rogue nation stockpiling weapons of mass destruction or from a solar flare threatening to reduce us to the stone age, but from one eccentric billionaire Elon Musk. In the children's story, Chicken Little, mass hysteria was at its peak. Little was convinced of the immediate apocalypse so he made it his mission to scream it from the rooftops. Mass hysteria is a virus, it spreads its pestilence through social media and turns us into ravenous wolves.  What is the "unforgivable sin" of Elon Musk?  Free speech. He wants everyone to share their views without the threat of being cancelled. He feels a thriving democracy is an exchange of ideas. For writers this should be good news. It's vital to listen and read opposing views, this is how we grow and become better earthlings.  Remember to follow and subscribe to the show on PoeticEarthlings.com and reach out to me on Twitter @poeticearthling To support the show please buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/poeticearthlings

There's some creators who make it a habit to alienate half of their audience, what are they thinking? Off Season Isn't strange when your favorite writer, celeb or podcaster goes out of their way to attack half of their potential audience. In today's world everything is political down to a comedy sketch to your favorite ice-cream. If you're not all the way left or right of the political spectrum there are pundits forcing you to pick a side, and not just joining the club but going to war against the other camp. Even on Twitter bios the line is clear, you're either with me or against me. Like sheep, many of us believe the mass media, stick to our own kind and cast an evil eye on outsiders. We as earthlings need to rise above the pigeonhole and stop alienating each other. I'm currently writing Season 5, please continue to spread the word about Poetic Earthlings.

I was nominated for the best black Canadian sci-fi original anthology series podcast, however my moment in the sun was overcast by the slap heard around the world.  As I continue to write season 5 please enjoy this bonus episode about the Academy awards and baby Yoda. Below is a list of six life lessons from Yoda. Also, please tell a friend or a complete stranger about the show but don't be pushy, you don't want a blackeye. (Off Season) 1. Impossible to see the future 2. Size Does Not  Matter 3. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose 4. Fear leads to anger 5. You must unlearn what you have learned 6. There is no try Follow me on Twitter @Poeticearthling To support the show please buy me a coffee

The mission was simple, follow the list and take out the targets. He obeyed orders without hesitation until he met The Suzy. Season 4 Finale, Episode 14 A stable government Is the antidote for chaos. Human rights violation and tyranny is the result of unethical leadership. Poverty stricken nations are not due to a lack of food or resources it stems from the elite. They devise schemes to stay in power and maximize their wealth at the expense of the citizens. Human life is reduced to numbers on a spreadsheet or objects on a board they could move around. In this story earthlings survived a nuclear war. Governments have fallen but a new one has risen to maintain peace. Their idea of peace is to force people to comply with their rules. A stable government must have a healthy democracy where the citizens can speak their minds. We should be able to hold our leaders accountable and to make sure they're living up to their promises. In this story the ruling class is shielded from accountability and scrutiny. If one dares to challenge the authority their name will appear on the kill list. Bullies need to be put in their place or they'll continue stealing our lunch money or stuffing us in the lockers. An unethical government is worse than a highschool bully for they could control every facet of our lives.

My wife continues the story of how I died and how I came to life. I'm still trying to adjust to this body, while she's trying to overcome her guilt. Season 4, Episode 13 The best way to cope with your  inevitable demise is not to hide from it. Earthlings occupy their mind by binging on Netflix, working extra hours, taking endless selfies or getting lost in pop culture. We love distractions.  Hollywood feeds us with endless possibilities and like the hungry hungry  Hippo we  guzzle it down. In our mind there's no room for the thought of death, there's more sexy things to think about. Our brain is a glorious mansion of many rooms. If we're bored in one we can turn the key and enter another. Death is the room located somewhere in the basement with cobwebs over the locks and chains. We seldom visit it and do our best not to think of it.  To have a rich, meaningful and spiritual life we need to acknowledge death. What helps me is prayer, reading scriptures and writing stories. What helps you? This episode was narrated by Tiffany C Lewis, she's an author and business owner of Rebel Lit. Special thanks to Alex from Time For Your Hobby Podcast who played the scientist.

I am Atom, the building block of the universe. I have been spliced and placed into a warhead. You can't stop me, you can't ignore me. This is my story before the world burns. Season 4, Episode 12 They said World War 1 was supposed to be the war to end all wars. After 40 million people died in over 30 nations between 1914 and 1918 you would think earthlings learned their lesson.Unfortunately one global war wasn't enough to satisfy man's hunger.So they polished their tanks and planes, counted their missiles and tried again in 1939.  About twice as many died in the sequel, credit goes to advanced tanks, submarines, Jet fighters and of course the nuclear bomb. I'm not a pacifist if thugs were trying to break into my home to hurt my family you bet I will fight. But I would not go out of my way to burn down their relatives' homes.  In 1945 the first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Japan. Thousands of ordinary citizens didn't see it coming. A second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. They said if it wasn't for the bombs the war would stretch on, they even said the bombs saved lives. It's hard for me to believe that, but you may have a different opinion. If you find this episode worthy to share please do so on Twitter and tag @poeticearthling.

What if I told you that the biggest news events are never told, that the government is keeping you fat, amused  and entertained. What your about to hear is what the government doesn't want you to hear. Are you ready to hear the truth?  Season 4, episode 11 Despite the title of this episode I don't believe in most conspiracy theories.These theories rely on pattern recognition and coincidences. You can move letters backwards, replace some with greek letters and spell the mark of the beast. You can analyze a politician's hand gestures and conclude he's a white supremacist. Our minds instinctually look for patterns that's how we make sense of the world but our innate pattern recognition could result in false conclusions. Recently I was listening to a Twitter Space all about conspiracies. It was ridiculous and fascinating. The one thing I believe is that the government is trying to distract us. Some say the boy band craze a few years ago was a calculated attempt to  divert our attention elsewhere. These groups were cleverly stitched together and made to appeal to a wide  demographic. This is just a theory, I'm not telling you to believe it. What I do believe is that entertainment could be a distraction. How many cat videos can we watch, how much Hollywood gossip can we consume before we throw up? Perhaps the government wants to keep us fat and happy so they can get away with murder.

You try to move but you can't feel your arms and legs. You try to scream but they can't hear you. And then you hear a voice, is it an angel or your tortured conscience?  Season 4, Episode 10 Everyday that you live your building a legacy, every moral decision will live on and affect the ones you love even the ones you don't. They may not make a statue out of you  or name a school after you but you will leave a legacy. My wife said something profound the other day, "one of these children that I'm working with may grow up to be a serial killer." Not the most pleasant thought but She's a childcare worker she sees their strengths and weaknesses. She's been in the field for over 20 years. Hopefully She's wrong however these children will turn into adults and leave a stain or a blessing on humanity.  The person in this story had it all: he was living the dream, with a fancy position, adorable son and a trophy wife. Outwardly he was a success. Most of us get caught up on the exterior, we look at someone's accomplishments and check all the boxes. We make little statues of them in our hearts.  The interior is often neglected, seldom do we ponder on their contentment. We assume that accomplishments equals contentment while these little gods may be drowning in sorrow.

How can a spider change your life? Season 4, Episode 9 (micro episode) Also, some professional podcasters listened to my show and gave me some advice. They said I need to introduce myself and give you the listener a snippet of my credentials in order to prove my authority in the field. It would be arrogant of me to go against the Jedi Council so here goes something. I'm York Campbell, an author and writer of over 400 stories.I'm also a former British Intelligence officer. I Climbed mount Everest three times and won the spelling Bee competition at the tender age of seven.I have sleep Apnea, eat gluten-free foods and was a backup dancer for Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation Tour. I wrote rap songs in the 80's 90s, shipwrecked off the coast of Maui, and earned brownie points for helping old ladies cross the street. I'm fluent in over 5 languages but due to a mental relapse I could only speak one. I'm originally from Jamaica, moved to Canada, abducted by aliens and sent back to Canada to record true stories of extraterrestrial life. Hopefully that helped.

One lottery ticket, one man's quest for power. Click play to listen before the world burns. Season 4, Episode 8 Everyone has the potential to turn into a monster, everyone including you. Some people may clutch their pearls and declare, "I'll never cross that line" but given the right circumstances you may tip your toe over the line. It's sheer arrogance to think your above certain acts of evil, that somehow you're immune to savagery. If we don't guard our hearts we can all go astray. Steve was given money, power and attention. He could have used these three things to make a better world. We may not be as rich or powerful as Steve but we are given certain traits and privileges. Too often we use them to further our agenda. What would happen if we all use these traits to help our fellow earthlings? This may be a pipe dream since we're living in the "me" generation. Advertising agencies and modern day  psychological theories focus on the self. We are called to care for the self and maintain a good self image. Whenever I flip through Twitter or Instagram that's all I see. Don't believe me. Take a look at all the selfies. We're obsessed with ourselves. We buy filtering apps to smoothen our skin and wait impatiently for the likes to climb. Self has become an all knowing, all seeing, all powerful God. We should  criticize and judge people like Steve, but we should also look into the mirror.  If you find this episode worthy to share please do so on Twitter and tag @poeticearthling  Credits are read by Shawntay from CTAmarketing.biz  Poetic Earthlings Studio is open to edit and produce your podcast, DM @Poeticearthlings on Twitter or visit Poeticearthlings.com While you're there you can sign up for the Earthlings Report, this is our free newsletter to help writers overcome imposter syndrome and writer's block.

My beloved Government finally responded to my Life Application, is  this the end of your favorite podcaster? (Bonus Show)  Season 4, Episode 7, micro episode Dear Mr Campbell we reviewed your application to remain a sentient human. We review many life applications so our channel was backlogged. Thank you for your patience. I see you filled out the 30 point questionnaire along with the 5000 word essay double spaced with your address in the top left. You even took the time to answer the bonus questions and elaborated on your privilege to live. How commendable. I'm glad you said it's a privilege and not a right the state should keep you alive. Most applicants complicate the matter by demanding we do them a favour. These are the narcissist, the arrogant, the mouth breathers of the planet. The government's responsibility is to safeguards the longevity of its citizens. We live in the age of rations, of measurements and efficiencies. Allowing every earthling to consume valuable resources will be detrimental to the planet that's why we fashioned the Life Application. Our records reveal you watch 5 hours of Netflix, 3 hours of stupid cat videos, and 7 hours of perpetual garbage. You possess mediocre social skills with zero return on your investment since you invested small change on relationships. You had time to change and develop a spiritual consciousness rather than feeding on the nonsense of the underdeveloped and spending your days subservient to the hand of chaos. I guess we all make our choices. I see on your application you posted your degrees as if education equals being a good human. Applicants often brag about their credentials and all of their stock investments. Your ability to generate money and live comfortably is not what we're looking for. You're mistaking us for your previous government whose only concern was to turn a profit. For the aforementioned reasons we have to terminate your life application. Please don't take it personal. Mr Campbell, do you notice the red dot on your chest, yes that red dot on your chest. We're going to pull the trigger now, best regards: the Canadian government.

Something went terribly wrong in this interview. I thought about scrapping it because it's just too weird, even my guest was ticked off and stormed out. However, there's a lesson in the cobwebs. Season 4, Episode 6 These days almost everything is controversial from your favorite ice-cream brand to a Disney cartoon. One word taken the wrong way could seal your fate.  No wonder people hold their opinions to themselves, because the mob is crazy they'll come after you with torches and pitchforks to drive you out of the village. In my days we had thicker skin. We could tolerate or even engage opposing views. No one wanted your head on a stick. Earthlings have become a little more sophisticated. We built tiny social bubbles with strict talking points and secret access codes. To maintain your group membership you have to render your opinions to the collective. Failure to comply will resort to  ostracization. This story is about a mythical creature that lands in the middle of downtown. What started off as magical and almost spiritual turned into something divisive and ugly. How could this be? Stranger things have happened. One petty incident could convert into an international scandal. Unfortunately this fictional tale is not far from the truth.

This episode may be fake. Every news segment and tweet is probably the same The person in this story created his fantasy, or so it seems. Season 4, episode 5 The line between fact and fantasy is becoming more opaque. Facts are seen as oppressive and hateful. For example, the words "pregnant women" are falling out of fashion and replaced by "pregnant people." Pregnant women are an undeniable biological fact. My wife was pregnant and my mom was pregnant with me. Only women can bear children, this should be a noncontroversial fact. It wasn't too long ago when this statement was without question.  In recent times the science of female biology has been discarded to make room for people's feelings. Science is under attack while certain pundits warn us to "trust the science". They even want us to trust "credible news sources." Those sources paint a tailor made reality with the goal of adopting their worldview. Because of earthlings natural acceptance of authority figures such as the major news networks and social media, the spell is difficult to break. What makes it more difficult is the rise of deep fake videos, images and voices. You can't trust what your little eyes see. Technology is almost at the point that it's nearly impossible to  distinguish the real from the fake. It's vital to question the dominant opinion, it's different than some jerk who questions everything just to be a contrarian. You should question out of sincerity and not grandstanding. Asking meaningful questions will further your knowledge and help everyone to think more effectively.  If you find this episode worthy to share please do so on Twitter and tag @poeticearthling.

What if your dreams became a trilogy? Season 4, Episode 3 (Earthling Spotlight Interview) Aliya survived a horrific car crash. She was rescued and remade by an alien race, given supernatural abilities and recruited into the Protective Forces to fight against a threat to the galaxy. This plot sounds like the next Marvel movie and I'm sure if Marvel buys the rights they would make a killing. My guest for the Earthling Spotlight is Danielle Novotny and the above synopsis is from her book Remade. Danielle is one of my favorite authors and it was an honour to have her on my show.

I hit rock bottom, life was slapping me in the face. I called 1800 life coach and that's when things turned around, but maybe not for the better. You decide. Season 4, Episode 2 This story was inspired by my years spent in an unusual church. From the outside it looked like any other  Protestant evangelistic church.  We sang worship songs, had Bible study groups and Christmas presentations. It was everything you think a typical church should be. Bonus points: it was also multicultural. But beyond the warm smiles and ethnic meals there was a controlling element.You were forbidden to date or marry outside of the group and your "personal time" was scrutinized. Each member was assigned a personal "coach" to guide them spiritually. It wasn't just a good idea to listen to your coach, you had to listen to your coach. Accountability is good It keeps earthlings in line so we don't do stupid things. This church took accountability to an unhealthy level. If you have similar experiences I would like to hear from you. For me I'm still in recovery even though I left this group a few years ago. Special thanks to Emily Inkpen who played the Life Coach executive, please follow the links and check out her books and audio presentations. Thanks again Emily.

The host of this podcast died in the Season 3 finale, his wife reflects on his history and the desperate attempt to bring him back to life.  Season 4, Episode 1 People throughout the centuries have tried to find the fountain of youth, the secret to longevity and the answer to immortality.  Longevity can be attained by avoiding certain foods, Illegal drugs, and risky  professions such as Nascar racing. You can live in an iron bubble without stepping outside. But who wants to do that? However, Immortality is impossible. We as earthlings have tried and failed miserably. But now there is hope. Thanks to Google, Amazon, Jericho Labs and other high tech cloud services your  consciousness could live on forever. Sounds cool? Some people are horrified with the possibility that their mind could be uploaded into a computer or Life Replica. They feel the dead should rest in peace and not linger on a digital cloud. Probably they're right. You've heard the term, "gone too soon." Wouldn't it be incredible to preserve the  consciousness of leading thinkers. Say for instance if Einstein,  Beethoven, MLK, Apostle Paul lived on. We can continue to learn from these great earthlings as their theories, music, science and social causes develop.  Not convinced? I'm not trying to  persuade you. This is merely a thought experiment.  This episode was narrated by Tiffany C Lewis, she's an author and business owner of Rebel Lit.

What happens when a man dressed in black  interrupts my family dinner and destroys the season finale. Season 3, Episode 12 Yes My fellow earthlings this is the season 3 finale. Little bit of a spoiler, it didn't go as planned. I wanted to leave you with something thoughtful, inspiring and even spiritual. I owe it to you since you've been listening since day 1.  However, as they always say, plan for the unexpected. Unfortunately I didn't do that. In my defence I was struggling with how to conclude this season. Everything I wrote was crap. I started one story just to run into plot holes and roadblocks. Also my dear sweet family was coming over from Jamaica. Great!  Not because I don't love my family but this gives me even less time to work on a finale. That wasn't the worst part. A man dressed in black sat nearby, no one invited him and no one could see him but me. The rest of the story you have to listen to and draw your own conclusions.

Jeff's lifeless body is wheeled back and forth from the office.The first potential head transplant makes the news. Perhaps my colleague could leave his wheelchair behind but is this just a distraction? Season 3, Episode 11 Most of us are distracted with the nonessentials. We worry ourselves to death about trivial things. We live in a world of distractions and as technology increases by the millisecond are attention divides. Youtube and Twitter are the template of attention deficit. These short messages and videos are easily consumed in a couple of minutes. Shorter videos and tweets generate more likes and reshares. Longer messages are ignored.  If you want to go viral it has to be short. Back in my days and I'm not that old, people's attention span was wider. We could read an in depth article without getting distracted by stupid cat videos. But we crave distractions because it keeps us from asking profound questions, such as the meaning and purpose of life and what happens after we die.  These are uncomfortable questions, we'll rather talk about the latest Marvel movie or political scandals, but these are the most important questions. When we investigate and answer these questions life itself will be more rewarding and beautiful.   Poetic Earthlings Studio If you're thinking about starting a podcast but dread the idea of editing and sound design then I could help you.

Urban legend speaks of a man dressed in a black pinstripe suit, gold pocket watch and a fedora. He appears when you least expect him, and he collects what you desperately try to keep. Season 3, Episode 10  The Collector goes by different names depending on your culture. I have investigated him for the past couple of years and collected, excuse the pun, many stories from around the world. Some claim he's a negative spirit sent from the Underworld, others claim he's an agent of the Divine Order. I have mentioned him in an earlier episode and you will hear from him again in the season finale. The Collector is not a hero or a villain he's just like us at the same time he's way different than us. I know that sounds confusing but hang in there. If you're still confused after this episode you can DM me on Twitter @poeticearthling also if you have more theories about this supernatural being I will like to hear from you.

Some events in our lives seem random like unconnected dots, when we look closer we see the threads. Season 3 Episode 8 If there's no purpose in life than the pursuit of one's pleasure then the human experience will have no meaning. True meaninglessness is to inhabit a universe without strings. To exist as a singular organism detached and independent. Some may call this liberation to live without attachments, to answer to no one, to be your own god. Detachment and radical independence creates loneliness. "Man is not made to be alone." Like it or not are actions creates a ripple effect, and other people's actions impacts us.We are influenced for good or bad. There is also Cosmic Domino Effect where one action creates a chain reaction. Cosmic Domino Effects are difficult to escape, but not all of them end poorly.

The Hollywood Superstar or the Chosen One, who will you choose. S3 Episode 7 Jesus has been misunderstood, misscategorized and maligned.He's the most famous man to ever walk the Earth. His teachings and way of life is both magnetizing and polarizing. He was born a rebel, lived as a revolutionist and died as a martyr.His followers called him the Lamb of God, the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Chosen One. Times have changed and has given birth to Hollywood and Social Media. Historical figures with rough edges and uncomfortable features are chiseled, repackaged and relabled. To appeal to a broader demographic Jesus had to change. His radical ideas and unbending dogma needed to give way to progressive enlightenment.Sin, damnation and the cross needed to be replaced. With slow strategic and precise measures a new Jesus emerged from the factory. This version is passive, tame and a bit of a hippie with long blonde hair and creamy blue eyes. By toning down his message and converting him into a self help guru he appeals to the everyday Walmart Shopper. Not wanting to feel left out many churches ditched the biblical Jesus for version 2.0. Such a gamble paid off as Mega Churches blossomed across America. The historical/biblical Jesus is still out there in the desert telling mankind to repent. It's harder to find him with Netflix, YouTube and thousands of distractions. If you search for the real Jesus you may not like him. He's not going to tickle your ear and call you his special snowflake.He's not going to overlook your sins and give you a pat on the back. Too bad.So be careful what you search for.

Dr Needlemeyer, the once respected astrophysicist, claims he's receiving messages two years into the future about a coming apocalypse. Is he a liar, a lunatic or is he telling the truth? Season 3, EP 1 Some scientist are convinced its theoretically possible to time travel. The notion that time traveling is restricted to hollywood movies and syfy novels is losing its grip. In recent years scientist are able to move a single particle from one fixed point in time to another, of course this is on a micro level. To truly bend time or go back to the future we need something more powerful than a DeLorean. Maybe a black hole or something equivalent could bend spacetime and transport our mortal coil into the future. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, we lack the technology to transform this idea into reality. Maybe we will get there. But what about receiving messages from the future?This is a form of time travelling on a smaller scale. A black hole or the power of a star is not required, all we need is a quantum computer.

Life has a way of throwing you upside down. There's demands, deadlines and expectations. This episode will ease your stress so you can avoid mental burnouts. Mothership Episode: 4 The aim of technology is to create  sophisticated systems to alleviate our everyday toil. Objectively speaking it seems to work, with microwave ovens, robot vacuum cleaners and same day express delivery. Amazon recently launched drone delivery where your package will descend from the clouds and land at your doorstep. Convenience and comfort is a click away as companies cater to our every wish. No need to kill and eat our food when we could swipe the screen and order buckets of chicken. Earth and all of its goodies in one or two taps. With all of these first world advantages we remain stressed out. The pressure to keep up with our neighbors and hustle for 'the good life' has left us spiritually and emotionally deficient in this George Jetson world. Many of us lack balance and chase after things to quench our immediate needs. We seek comfort from the bosoms of social media with their  'likes' and retweets. No wonder this generation is besset with social anxieties and mental fatigue. However, there is a spiritual facet to our nature that stands in contrast to our animal instincts.  The Spirit given by the  Architect of the universe can keep us in balance, can keep us whole so our minds will not stray.  Support Please continue to spread the word about the show.

Off season, episode 2 If you have been writing stories for a good length of time you'll attract haters and lovers.Hopefully more lovers than hatters. There is a third category, objective critic. This person will dissect your story, study all the nuts and bolts and see if your story holds together. We need the objective critic, not the cheerleader. The objective critic sharpens our skills, the cheerleader strokes our ego. To be honest I would rather be sourounded by beautiful cheerleaders telling me how awesome I am, but in my innermost soul I need the objective critic. In today's parlance 'criticism' is viewed as a negative word so we desperately try to avoid it. The very thing that could improve our writing we run away from.How strange.
