Welcome to the 'Culmination' of What I Compulsively Ruminate Upon! This Blog is a great pleasure for me to explore my many varied interests. I aslo can you use the "Source of my Intellectual self" and write in competition with myself to always set myself to the highest standards for my favorite interests which revolve around many varied topics but the most prevalent Ancient mythology, philosophy, Ancient classical wars with the rise and fall of all the major cultures of the ancient world from Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, then of course the Roman empire that was infiltrated with this 'new age' religion that I'm sure most in power felt was a fad some 2000 years ago! The Religion that would run an empire of its own through that very city......Rome....HIDDEN IN THE VATICAN. I know I am an inveterate bookworm with an impossible love of Ancient History as it pertains to culture.

This star of lunches worldwide, this delicious fare is the work of John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich, England. Montagu was apparently an avid gambler, and his favorite meal while at the card table was cold meat between two pieces of bread. This allowed him to play as long as he liked without having to leave for a full meal, and the bread prevented him from getting grease on the cards. Rumor has it that the other card players saw this and said, “I’ll have the same as Sandwich!”

Physicists Find Evidence That The Universe Is A ‘Giant Brain’

The idea of the universe as a 'giant brain’ has been proposed by scientists - and science fiction writers - for decades.

But now physicists say there may be some evidence that it’s actually true. In a sense.

According to a study published in Nature’s Scientific Reports, the universe may be growing in the same way as a giant brain - with the electrical firing between brain cells 'mirrored’ by the shape of expanding galaxies.

The results of a computer simulation suggest that “natural growth dynamics” - the way that systems evolve - are the same for different kinds of networks - whether its the internet, the human brain or the universe as a whole.

A co-author of the study, Dmitri Krioukov from the University of California San Diego, said that while such systems appear very different, they have evolved in very similar ways.

The result, they argue, is that the universe really does grow like a brain.

The study raises profound questions about how the universe works, Krioukov said.

“For a physicist it’s an immediate signal that there is some missing understanding of how nature works,” he told Space.com.

The team’s simulation modelled the very early life of the universe, shortly after the big bang, by looking at how quantum units of space-time smaller than subatomic particles 'networked’ with each other as the universe grew.

They found that the simulation mirrored that of other networks. Some links between similar nodes resulted in limited growth, while others acted as junctions for many different connections.

For instance, some connections are limited and similar - like a person who likes sports visiting many other sports websites - and some are major and connect to many other parts of the network, like Google and Yahoo.

No, it doesn’t quite mean that the universe is 'thinking’ - but as has been previously pointed out online, it might just mean there’s more similarity between the very small and the very large than first appearances suggest.

(THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHAT I BELIEVE SPIRITUALLY HAS EVER COME TO BEING WRITTEN OUT…..IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE TO NOT SOUND MAYBE INCOHERENT TO OTHERS…..I ALWAYS END UP JUMPING FROM TOPIC TO TOPIC INSTEAD OF STAYING FOCUSED ON THE MAIN POINT….._

This as close my ACTUAL, LITERAL SPIRITUAL VIEWS on life, death, transmigration of souls  and the inner connectedness of everything from the farthest star to my absolute feeling that all animals and plants have souls of some kind even if their sentience (or consciousness if you will) isn’t as ‘sophisticated’ (and I use that word lightly and not without a strong sense of IRONY since we’re inherently destructive by nature by not evolving our consciousness out of a childish state, though I don’t believe we do this to ourselves on purpose.  We’re a young race in my opinion, even spiritually. BY RACE, I MEAN THE ONLY RACE THAT COUNTS, THE HUMAN RACE).  Unlike many who share my beliefs, (though NOT all!) I’ll admit that I’m a profound work in progress that dislikes that pettiness inside her with a passion. I admire certain aspects of all the organized religions when I read about that to gain more spiritual insight because I’m a seeker really when all is said and done.  And not being able to access my full potential in a big area like spirituality bugs me.  It’s a myth that we supposed only use '10 PERCENT OF OUR BRAINS’ but I’m looking deeper.  I want to be a GOOD, EMPATHETIC, COMPASSIONATE, HUMAN SOUL who can leave this world a better person than when she entered it. -Kalliope Kleio Mousai

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” -Albert Einstein

justin bieber spitting on fans and then laughing about it

THAT is Justin Bieber.

What the fuck h-actually, I don’t care.

When Roger Waters started spitting at his fans, he took a step back, realized he’d come to view the worst of his and Pink Floyd’s fanbase as inhuman, went introspective for a bit, and wrote “The Wall,“ one of the most influential and famous rock albums of all time. He also stopped feeling as disconnected with his fanbase (at least in the same way).

When Justin Bieber does it, he laughs about it, and will likely never learn any lesson.

But you need to respect him because he is a person. His fanbase says so.

when he becomes just another has been I’ll remember this picture.  Karma is a bitch.  He looks a teenager with too much money and his parents never taught him anything about respect for the gifts that have been given to him. And honey, none of us have do what any "FAN BASE” says. I for one THINK FOR MYSELF.
