This blog was started in 2007 with a story written once a week for a year. It has expanded to included essays, and artwork, etc. I started writing and drawing with two hands around the year 2001 as a mental and brain development experiment on my own brain to restructure my brain's neurons, etc. again. Simply put, using two hands to write and draw forces both sides of the brain to connect together, to become a holistic, stronger, improved brain. I hope you enjoy my blog.

Essay 19. 2024.

Cavemen, The Human Species, and God, Spirit. And Nuclear Weapons.

And the Next Generation of a Futuristic Spiritual Human Species.

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe!

May 9, 2024.

Have you ever wondered to yourselves, in your teeny tiny brains and minds what the big picture is for life on planet Earth? For example, why were there simple cells that eventually turned into swimming and walking creatures with a brain that could think, feel very deep emotions, and more importantly ask questions about the cosmic universe, God, evil, and a whole bunch of other stuff?

There were the dinosaurs, then came the cavemen, and then the primitive human species, and now the current human species. What is next? You don’t really think that the current human species is the final state of affairs, do you? By looking at past events, states, and stages of biological and mental development, there has to be another step in the biological and mental realms of existence on planet Earth.

If you look at the development of intelligent life on planet Earth related from the cavemen up to the current human species and even into the future, it can be seen and understood that there are definitely different stages and states of biological, brain, and mental development.

It seems very obvious that there were cavemen before the current human species. But what may not seem so obvious is that there must be another state and stage after the current human species in the next step of biological, mental, and spiritual development.

The current human species seems to be really obsessed with external things but little regard for any metaphysical and true spiritual development. People look out with their human eyes thinking that everything they see is an absolute state of reality, but it isn’t an absolute state of reality, if you ever actually seriously thought about it.

The cavemen were here, and they were gone. The human species is here, and it will be gone one day too, in all likelihood. The human species might try to escape its own doom by traveling to outer space, but that is going to be a really tough nut to crack in the long term. I do not see it happening no matter what the dreamers are dreaming about.

The human species can’t even take care of planet Earth, so how is it going to take care of people living on Mars or even farther out in outer space. I saw a short video last night that stated that all of those recycled triangles on the bottom of plastics to be recycled are almost never recycled.

There are thousands of different types of plastics and most of them can’t be recycled even though they are labeled on the bottom of plastic containers with the recycle triangles. The liars simply can’t stop lying to the American people nor to all of the people all around the world.

When I was a young boy, I always wondered too myself what kind of life did those cavemen have since they did not possess any of the modern-day conveniences. They were probably very simple-minded creatures that walked with two feet trying their best to survive, hunting and eating food, trying to not be eaten by other creatures, surviving the earthly elements like the weather, and other dangers that they might encounter while walking on planet Earth.

Maybe they were walking to find the perfect weather or the perfect food. Maybe they were walking because they had nothing less to do until they learned to settle down and be farmers and work the land. It was a simple but hard life for everyone since they did not have the modern-day conveniences that current human beings enjoy.

When the cavemen and women were walking the Earth, it probably was not a fun time. They were naked until they learned to cover themselves up to keep warm. They had to hunt for food. They gave birth without a hospital or a doctor. They did not read books, nor did they write books. The cavemen were really worried about surviving or living as long as possible so for them to be thinking about is God, Spirit, was not in their minds at all I would assume to be true.

Just like in today’s world. How many people are so worried about surviving in the modern-day world that they too, have no time to think about what God, Spirit is as a state of consciousness? People have to worry about money more than they worry about what God, Spirit is because they can’t see God, Spirit with their own eyes.

God, Spirit can’t be seen with human eyes, so instead people like using their human eyes in their spare time to watch movies, sports, porn, and the news, while they forget the most important areas of life and living before, they die or leave planet Earth.

I find it amazing that people all around the globe will find time to watch movies, sports, porn, and the news, but they do not find the time to read the Bible or other spiritual books. Nor do they even think to themselves, “What is God?” Or “Is there a God?” Or “If there is a God, what is it?”

The cavemen did not use their human eyes to watch movies, sports, porn, or the news, nor did they use their minds to think about God is my guess. They were too busy walking around naked trying to find food and water and staying warm or cool depending on the weather. I bet those cavemen were really tough too. They probably had skin as thick and tough as leather.

But if the cavemen ever thought to themselves, ‘What kind of creatures will be after us simple-minded cavemen?’ If the cavemen were alive today, they too would be able to watch movies, sports, porn, the news, and other stuff. They might think to themselves, ‘Well, these human beings are not much different than us cavemen. They like to run around doing stuff with clothes on. They make babies that cost a lot of money. And they don’t think about God, Spirit.

The cavemen and the primitive modern-day human beings had an excuse for not mentally and consciously understanding God, Spirit, because their hardwired human brains and soft-wired cavemen minds and states of consciousness were not built for that type of mental activity.

It is really that simple in my own opinion, but probably in the minds of other thinkers as well. It is really amazing how all of the different species of brains see the world with their own specific eyes and brains.

Maybe that is the reason why most human beings don’t or can’t think about what God is, Spirit. Because it probably takes a different type of human brain and mind to think, to know, to understand what the spiritual realm of God, Spirit is within its own spiritual realm of existence.

Just in case you are wondering what that realm or state of existence is, I am going to write another mental exercise for you just so you can gather a mental vision of it.

Spirit is being its own infinite Mind, or infinite Intelligence. It is not stuck inside a human brain.

Spirit is being its own infinite Spirit, or infinite spiritual reality and substance. It is not matter.

Spirit is being its own infinite Soul, or unchangeable sinless identity. It is not a sexual identity.

Spirit is being its own infinite Principle, or universe. It is not a cosmic universe of galaxies.

Spirit is being its own infinite Life, or self-existence. It is not a realm of birth and death.

Spirit is being its own infinite Truth, or self-consciousness. It is not a human consciousness.

Spirit is being its own infinite Love, or self-perfection. It is not an imperfect form of hate and fear.

The above mental exercise based on a law in the book title, “The Four Levels of Spiritual Consciousness.” By Dr. Max Kappeler. You can learn more by buying the book.

Even though the cavemen had different sets of priorities compared to today’s people who also have to survive in a much different way. They might have wondered to themselves what was up there beyond the sun, the moon, and the stars. Maybe they too, wondered about the afterlife.

What I did not know when I was a young boy was that there were people who studied the cavemen and how they lived, but since I did not have any books to read about the cavemen and how they lived, I was left in the dark as to how they lived and what they thought about their lives, or if they believed in a God of some sort. How can anyone really know all of those answers?

The cavemen could have never known what was going to happen in the next step within the linkage between the cavemen and the next stage or step in biological, mental, and intellectual evolution and development of the two-legged creatures with a brain and a mind, who would also one day walk the Earth just like the cavemen. The very big difference being is that the new two-legged biological creatures would have a different brain and mind than the cavemen and cave women.

The truly sad thing is the current two legged human beings have no idea that there will be another step, stage, and state, for the futuristic and more advanced two legged creatures with a completely different hardwired brain and a more advance state of a soft-wired mind and consciousness than the current human species which in my opinion is more like the cavemen than they would like to believe from a higher level of intelligence and consciousness.

It seems that when they put their hands on mud or fire ash to leave behind their own simple palm and hand prints on cave walls so that future generations of two-legged creatures could look at those hand prints on those cave walls, they could say to themselves that wow, those cavemen actually tried to leave something good behind for the next generation of two-legged creatures to look at in their time. Or maybe they were simply trying to be artists, laughing at their handy work.

When the cavemen put their hand prints on those cave walls, maybe they were thinking to themselves that maybe one day long into the future, if they could think to themselves millions of years or more into the future, other creatures would see their hand prints on the cave walls and that new generation of human beings would look back in time and they would wonder to themselves about those cave people who put those hand prints on the cave walls, to look back in time millions of years into the past to wonder about their own destiny.

What is the current human species doing for its own future? Will the current generation of human beings ever look towards its future instead of simply looking in sky, or the cosmic universe. What is more important than looking up at the sky is looking forward in time to the future of the current human species here on planet Earth.

Does the current human species think about its future and the next generation of two-legged creatures who will look back at the current human species say, 50,000 or even 50,000 million years from now and wonder how the current human species lived and what it did to survive?

Do you even think to yourselves that if creatures from outer space or even creatures like angels were looking down at you right now, would they ask themselves, ‘Why do those human beings watch so many movies, sports, porn, news, etc., when they should think about other more important issues, the afterlife and God, Spirit?’ It is like planet Earth is one playground for many humans, until that they are alone, dying in a bed or hospital, wondering about death and afterlife.

Since I already know that there are other states and realms of existence, including an afterlife, I know that many of you would be completely ashamed if you were caught watching porn every day of your lives.

Like, how could you allow a constant stream of sexual garbage into your hardwired brains and soft-wired minds and consciousness, before you die when instead, you should at least be trying to understand all of the metaphysical and spiritual issues you can before you die a human death. Watching movies, sports, porn, the nightly news is easy. Understanding God, Spirit is not too easy, but let me tell you, it is worth the try.

The same should be asked about war. The primitive simple-minded leaders of the world who have nuclear bombs and weapons who are so simple minded and stupid to think that their decisions to go to war, any war, will not have unspeakable consequences not only on Earth, but also in other realms of existence. Seriously, there has to be a moment in the future when all world leaders stop trying to solve any of their mental issues by going to war. The people of Earth deserve better than being constantly killed, murdered, and slaughtered by human butchers.

I am going to throw the next metaphysical concept out there for the fun of it. What if there are other realms of existence located out there, away from this space and time cosmic universe with creatures of various types who could actually look down at planet Earth? Or more likely from the human mind’s perspective, if there were people in the afterlife looking down at the human species, especially all of those people who have died, been killed, and been murdered, etc. in all of the wars throughout human history? Would they be wondering when war ever going to stop?

When will the constant and steady stream of wars, of killings and murders of innocent and defenseless human beings ever going to stop? What would those other creatures in other realms of existence be thinking to themselves about the current human species, and especially of their leaders. You may be thinking to yourselves that that is a silly question, but don’t be too sure of yourselves with you limited brain and mind. There is more out there than you can see and know.

Do you think that if the cavemen were actually thinking about their future or for any kind of futuristic creatures with two legs, what would they have been hoping for 50,000 years into the future? Surely not an endless stream of war and bloodshed. Surely not for a new and improved modern day caveman that could build a nuclear bomb or weapon that could destroy all life from Earth with the push of a button or a turn of a key?

Surely the cavemen and the pre-primitive human species were never thinking about a complete self-annihilation in the future by a human species that was supposed to be better than them with bigger and more improved hard-wired brains and soft-wired minds.

The cavemen were not thinking that way because all they really wanted was an easier way of life which would arrive in the next generation of human beings who learned how to be farmers who could work that land for food, and who could raise livestock for food.

The cavemen were not thinking about creating, building, nor using a nuclear bomb for any reason whatsoever. So therefore, why do the current simple minded and evil human cavemen think that way?

It might be asked if the cavemen and cave women thought about God in anyway whatsoever, like how some people do now. For some reason, the current human species or part of it anyway likes to think that it knows something about God, which isn’t usually true for the most part. Honestly, most of the 7-8 billion people on planet know nothing about God, Spirit in anyway whatsoever.

The leaders of the globe are currently more interested in understanding and knowing more and more about nuclear weapons, bombs, and war than it does understanding something true about God, Spirit. That is not the way it should be at this moment in human history for the current and future survival of the human species. Understanding something about God, Spirit is better for the future of the human species than all of the nuclear weapons and bombs on Earth

When the cavemen were sitting around a campfire were they thinking and asking themselves while they looked up at the sun and the moon and the stars, ‘What is God?’ Probably the question never occurred to them, but just maybe it did occur to them. But because they were looking out from their very primitive caveman brain through their caveman eyes, they were probably never going to get an answer, just like many people do today. How many people today think like the cavemen when they think about God, Spirit? Most of them is my guess.

It is strange to me that in today’s modern-day world, some people are still walking on planet Earth just as simple-minded and stupid as the cavemen who walked on planet Earth millions of years ago. Of course, those modern-day cavemen are not completely stupid because they have to possess a certain degree of simple intelligence to take care of their daily lives.

But that does not mean that most of the current human species are thinking about anything spiritually important, although they can pretend that they do to themselves when they go to a church to pretend to give a penny’s worth of time to their fake worshiping. Isn’t God, Spirit worth more than a penny’s worth of your time if that will get you to a true spiritual consciousness called heaven?

The one thing that the cavemen did not have was nuclear bombs and the ability to self-destruct themselves in a matter of minutes. Many modern-day human beings possess a lot of modern-day conveniences, but their leaders also possess a lot of nuclear bombs which is not a good thing. It is very easy for the current human species to hide from the nuclear issues because it is very easy to watch movies, sports, porn, the nightly news, or just go to sleep.

How can it be that in a modern-day world with nuclear weapons and bombs, with human beings who are leaders of the world, possess even less intelligence for the current and future survival of the human species than the cavemen? I can’t imagine world leaders laughing to themselves in the mirror that they can destroy the whole human species in minutes with their nuclear bombs.

That implies that the cavemen possess a different brain and state of consciousness than modern-day human beings. Modern day human beings possess a different type of brain and state of mind and consciousness in many ways. But somehow, something went off the track inside the current human brains and minds to create, threaten, and possibly use nuclear bombs and weapons on each other. The present age generation of people are living in an insane world with insane world leaders. After millions and billions of years of brain and mental development, how can this condition exist at all?

One of those ways from a religious standpoint is that some modern-day human beings believe that there is a God somewhere up in the cosmic universe or they believe that a man who lived over 2000 years ago was God made in the image and likeness of Spirit, which is not a biological human being. Or they believe that he was actually God in the flesh. Is there religious insanity too? How many different states of insanity are there within the brains and minds of the human species?

If the cavemen and modern-day human beings think about the mental concept of God in the same way, would that be sort of crazy, primitive, stupid, and intelligently immature? It has been stated somewhere that Jesus was walking around awake, spiritually awake, while everyone else was dreaming when they walked. Is that the current state regarding religion and nuclear war too?

In a way, the cavemen were like today’s atheists who do not believe that there is not any type of God whatsoever. The difference is that the cavemen did not possess the modern day hardwired human brain, nor the soft-wired human mind and consciousness, so they probably did not possess the mental ability to think in abstract realms of mental existence and experience.

They possessed a different type of hardwired brain and soft-wired mind or consciousness, while today’s modern-day atheists do possess a modern day hardwired human brain, they do not possess the true ability to actually think about what God is or could be independent of the hardwired human brain and soft-wired human mind and consciousness.

The truth of the matter is that most people on the planet do not think about what God is in anyway whatsoever. Therefore, in a way, they are all atheists even if they state that they believe in a God. But what the heck does that mean? It does not mean anything because it has no meaning whatsoever. As a matter of fact, the word God really has no meaning to most people on planet Earth. It is an empty word.

Mary Baker Eddy defined God as Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.’ (Pg. 465. S&H.) Even those words have no meaning until you understand what they mean spiritually.

Of course, earlier in the history of the human species, human beings made up their own gods to worship, and later still, they made up a human man to be God in the flesh even though he never claimed to be God in the flesh. They continued to believe it because in a way, they were thinking exactly like the cavemen, that is with a limited human brain and mind. Back in those days, a lot of human beings called themselves a god. It was a common phrase back then. I would not want to be considered to be a god. No way. I do not want to worshiped either. It is not worth it.

It is truly amazing how many uneducated and even educated people think that they know all of the answers to life’s questions and problems when in fact, both the cavemen and the modern-day human species are missing many important points regarding God, Life, and life in general, even if they have lived a very good human life. How much ignorance is still located within the hardwired human brain and the soft-wired human mind and consciousness of educated people?

People get their degrees and their Ph.Ds. And they think they are smarter than everyone else. Maybe, when it applies to a very specific topic, like how ants live, but not when it is applied to the metaphysical and spiritual topics of God, evil, death, the afterlife, and even the future of the human species.

When I was a young boy, I wondered to myself if there was a God, it would have to be something completely different than what I saw with my human eyes, heard with my human ears, etc. I also wondered if I was the only person who thought that way or did every person thought that if there was a God it would have to be a human God.

Do most human beings still look out with their human eyes to find the God, Spirit when that is an impossible thing to do in the first place? The human eyes can’t even see the atomic quantum worlds of light waves and atoms, etc. How in the world is the human eyeball going to see God, Spirit?

“The world's first nuclear weapons explosion was on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico, when the United States tested its first nuclear bomb. Not three weeks later, the world changed. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It killed or wounded nearly 130,000 people.” (Taken off the web.)

It has not always been that way you know, the threat of nuclear self-destruction of the human species by the human species was never in the human mind as an objective. Not since the beginning of the nuclear arms race has there been a single point in human history when the human species has been at the threshold or the edge of being mentally crazy to be completely insane regarding the moment of global and international self-destruction and self-annihilation of the human species.

The question I have never seen asked by anyone is this. Has anyone ever asked themselves or other people how to stop a nuclear war? Has anyone ever asked themselves or other people, how to prevent a nuclear self-destruction and self-annihilation of the human species before it is too late? I have never seen it asked in any books, online news sites, or anywhere. Who and when is going to start asking that important question? Or are they too stupid and dumb to do it?

I truly think that there is only one answer which is this, which I have either implied or outright stated in other essays in the year 2024.

There has to be a complete change and transformation within the structure of the hardwired human brain and the soft-wired human mind to escape the caveman mentality. And ascend to higher states of spiritual consciousness and states of mental existence which is based on the ultimate spiritual reality of God being Spirit, not matter, and the laws of physics which started the whole nuclear mess in the first place.

The human species has been around a long time, living on planet Earth for much longer than that first nuclear bomb dropped on July 16, 1945. What about the cavemen and cavewomen? All of them all walking throughout the nation of Africa and walking and walking away from that and continent, and then walking through Asia, Antarctica, Australia, Europe, North America, South America.

It seems by all indications that the current human species knows very little if anything about God, Spirit, while it knows a lot about creating, building, and flying nuclear bombs and weapons through the sky from one place to another place.

Are there world leaders who are so stupid, ignorant, and pathetic regarding all life on planet Earth including the survival of the human species? Yes, there are world leaders who do not care if they destroy the whole human species! I only have one word for those types of world leaders. That one word is evil. World leaders who possess nuclear bombs and weapons and who are crazy enough to use them knowing that they could destroy all life on planet Earth. Praying to Jesus or God, Spirit is not going to help solve that deadly problem.

It would also seem very clear to me that all of these world leaders who do not care if they destroy the whole human species also do not care about anything about higher realms of existence or what God, Spirit is in its true spiritual natures.

If they did, they would rise up within their own individual human consciousness to higher realms of existence for a true appreciation of all life on planet Earth, including the human species.

There are simple minded human beings who consider themselves atheists because they are too lazy to think. But when it is applied to world leaders who are atheists because they think that they are gods, then there is an endless array of problems that arise from such mentalities.

That is really weird in many ways. The old-time religionists like the Jews and Christians knew little if anything about the modern-day physical sciences, yet they prayed to their limited god in the temple until the temple was destroyed. Before that temple was destroyed, religious leaders wrongly thought that their ‘god’ was located in a box in the temple. Nobody but one religious leader could look into the box once a year to see their ‘god.’ How stupid!

Those religionists did not know how to think just as modern-day religionists do not know how to think. Thinking, it seems is not part of any of the human religionists, nor of world leaders in general, even in America.

On the other hand, modern-day, simple-minded scientists love thinking about all sorts of stuff that the common human being never want to think about because thinking takes mental work. It might even be stated that thinking takes a certain kind of human brain and mind to do the work it does on a physical and material level of existence.

Thinking has nothing to do with watching movies, sports, porn, or the news which is really a form of brainwashing. Nobody can trust the news anymore if you have not figured that out already. It has been stated that with the new AI, the AI can make up its own news and you my dear readers would never know the difference between real and fake news. Talk about living in a very scary world.

The sad thing is that in today’s modern-day world, there are a lot of educated people who do not believe that there is a God of any sort, but especially the God termed Spirit. Can it be that even modern day educated people possess the same sort of hardwired human brain and soft-wired human consciousness that the cavemen possessed regarding thinking about God, Spirit, and obtaining a spiritual consciousness which is separated from a biological consciousness?

The people who are doing most of the thinking are the physical and materialistic scientists, which is good in many ways for the advancement of the human species, but it is also bad when people think that kind of thinking is the only way to think, like there are no other ways of thinking, especially about God, Spirit.

What would happen if more and more people or human beings started to think in metaphysical and spiritual ways instead of physical ways? What would happen to the collective human species if more and more people stopped watching the nightly news, movies, porn, and sports, and well, in short, turned away from their human eyes told them what was real, as in an ultimate state of reality and they started to understand God, Spirit as the ultimate state of spiritual reality?

Look, I get it. People are not going to spend all of their free time doing what I do. Even I enjoy watching movies, but not like in the old days. People need to have fun doing what they do, everyone needs playtime. Everyone needs a break from work and the seriousness of life and living. I get it. I really do. I like having fun, and even playing with death once in a while, which means doing humanly dangerous stuff, not actually playing with a loaded gun.

On the other hand, there are things I know that the rest of the human species does not know, nor could they know or even experienced while I have walked on this planet from the time I was a young kid. I write these essays so when I actually leave or even before I leave this Earth, the whole human species is going to wake up out of your mortal dream worlds before it is too late.

How to stop all war but especially a nuclear war from a purely metaphysically and spiritual level and realm of existence you may ask. Well, here is an idea. Instead of thinking of a one-dimensional biological state of existence the human species started to think in terms of a multi-dimensional state of existence regarding the next advanced spiritual consciousness for the current and future survival of the human species, and for the next generation of human beings.

I can’t stress these metaphysical and spiritual concepts enough. I really do know what I am writing about. You have no idea what it would mean to each individual human being and to the collective human species if every human being woke up out of their sleepy mental dream worlds as biological creatures and they started to see, know, understand, and demonstrate themselves as truly spiritual creatures even as they walked on planet Earth with seemingly biological human bodies. In reality, God, Spirit only ‘sees’ every individual human being as spiritual anyway.

I know that there is a pure realm of realm of spiritual existence and self-consciousness because I have experienced it, but the rest of you people have not experienced it is my best guess. But what would happen if every human being experienced a true spiritual realm of consciousness that is completely separated from the biological state of existence?

To put it another way. Let you assume that what I am writing is true and real even if you have never experienced it yourselves. Let us assume that there is a realm of God, Self-Consciousness that is pure Spirt, which there is by the way. What would happen if everyone understood it, saw it, became it, long before their human lives were over? It would not only change the whole world, but it would bring in the next step of human evolution and development and heaven on Earth. The next step, state, and stage of the next generation of human beings would happen.

God, Spirit, does not know you as a biological body with sexual organs, cancer, sickness, dying, and death. It can only know you as spiritual images within the divine Mind or infinite Intelligence. If every human being were conscious of their true spiritual self-hood, everything in the human realm of existence would change for the better. It could not be helped.

If anyone has not figured it out yet, the ultimate state of spiritual reality has nothing to do with watching the nightly news, sports, movies, porn, or even looking at the clear blue sky with the birds flying to and fro, back and forth. You can never see the ultimate state of spiritual reality with your human eyes and brain. Sorry, but that is the way it is!

If there is a realm of God, Spirit, which is completely separated from, but can also be connected to the human mind and consciousness, why is it that most modern-day human beings still think of God as the cavemen did, and the primitive human beings did, who probably never thought that there was a God anyway. The primitive cavemen, pre-modern-day human beings, and currently modern-day human beings really never think about, question, or take the time to delve into the mental realms that are needed to find anything about a non-material, spiritual God.

Is it because their hardwired human brains and soft-wired minds and states of consciousness were not even open to the possibility that there could be a God of any sort that is separate from the human biological body and brain, but somehow translates itself down to the materially physical level and even deeper to the human brain and mind?

Isn't it the same in today's modern-day world? Most modern-day people don't think that there is a God of any kind, just like the pre-modern-day human beings and the cavemen. Therefore, if it was not for the human mind understanding all of the laws of physics and the result of understanding those laws, the modern-day human species would not be any different than the people who lived before the beginning of the age of the physical sciences.

There are so many people who depend on believing in the biological body of Jesus for proof that there is a God, as in Spirit. That way of thinking is not only outdated, but really impracticable because in today’s modern-day world, everyone can read, listen to lectures, think for themselves, and they can little by little gain the knowledge that there could be and is a spiritual Principle that is God within its own realm of existence.

I have often wondered even as a young boy, if there is a God that is invisible to the human eyes, but which can be understood by the human brain and mind to a certain degree, would that not be like the invisible realms of music and mathematics that are also invisible to the human brain and mind but which the human brain and mind can be totally conscious of if an individual human brain and mind understood those abstract mental realms of existence.

Since the cavemen and the primitive human species did not possess the mental ability to understand abstract mental realms of existence, how in the world would they ever be able to understand an invisible abstract spiritual realm of existence termed God, Spirit?

It seems that would be unlikely and even impossible for certain states of brain and mind to understand an abstract realm or state of existence and consciousness called God, Spirit by those human states of brain and mind that cannot understand any abstract mental realm or state of existence whatsoever.

But that is not really true, is it? Well, it might be true to a certain degree because most people walk on planet Earth with a one-dimensional state of biological consciousness and those people who do possess a mentally abstract understanding of humanly abstract topics surely do not give a rat’s ass about the abstract mental realms of God, Spirit, or the spiritual consciousness of existence.

It could and should be asked that if there was a human male named Jesus who understood something like God is Spirit who stated that it must be worshiped in spirit and truth, then it would seem normal that not only Jesus, but everyone could understand that same God, Spirit within their own individual human brains and minds, which is what many spiritual thinkers were stating in the Bible and in other books, even those written by physicists, like the book titled, “God and the New Physics. By: Paul Davies.

Maybe it might be true that most people who ever have lived or will live will never understand God as the God, Spirit that Jesus spoke of in the Bible? And which the Bible speaks about from the first chapter to the last chapter. But I don't think that is true. Every human can understand the metaphysical and spiritual meanings of the Bible if they take the time to understand its symbolism.

Can there be different states of mind within the common modern-day era? Is there a difference between human beings who understand nothing humanly and spirituality? How about those people who understand only one abstract topic humanly but who also do not understand anything truly spiritually? Truth be told, not all individual human being’s states of mind and consciousness are the same.

There are different states of brain, mind, and consciousness throughout the whole human species.

Let us be real here. Some people only are interested in their cars or trucks for example, while other people are interested in astrophysics and the beginning of the Big Bang or quantum physics. Other people are only interested in watching sports or Netflix movies or porn movies. Some people love gaming. Etc.

But at the end of your human life, all of that stuff is completely meaningless, nor will it do you any good in the afterlife, nor will it help you find your true spiritual self-hood.

Other people are only interested in studying chemistry or cancer or whatever. My point is that if there is a completely separate realm or state of existence termed God, Spirt, how is anyone going to search for it, find it, use it, and become at one with it unless it is accomplished spiritually and not materially or physically?

In today’s modern-day world, the collective human brain, all 7-8 billion of them, are currently wired so that they too can begin to understand the mentally abstract realms of God, Spirit, and spiritual existence within their own individual brains and minds as crazy a thought that might be for most of the readers of this and other essays of mine.

That is simply true because the path has been in play for a very long time during the course of life for the cavemen, the primitive human beings before the modern-day age human beings or the era of intellectualism, and even the modern-day human beings.

What is the current human species going to leave behind being a simple-minded human caveman mentality for the next generation of two-legged spiritual creatures with a spiritual consciousness?

Essay 18 - 2024. Churches and Nuclear Bombs. Going to a Catholic Church During the Cold War. A Feel-Good Religion During the Cold War. By: Mr. George D. Patnoe. May 2, 2024.

Essay 18 - 2024. Churches and Nuclear Bombs.

Going to a Catholic Church During the Cold War.

A Feel-Good Religion During the Cold War.

By: Mr. George D. Patnoe.

May 2, 2024.

All over the globe, there are Catholic churches. It has been that way for a very long time.

“When did the Catholic Church actually start? Who founded Roman Catholicism? As a branch of Christianity, Roman Catholicism can be traced to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in Roman-occupied Jewish Palestine about 30 CE. According to Roman Catholic teaching, each of the sacraments was instituted by Christ himself.” (Taken off the web.)

Nuclear weapons have been around for some time too.

"The world's first nuclear weapons explosion on July 16, 1945, in New Mexico, when the United States tested its first nuclear bomb. Not three weeks later, the world changed. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It killed or wounded nearly 130,000 people.” (Taken off the web.)

Therefore, the Catholic Church and the nuclear bomb were around before I was born, and they will be there after I leave planet Earth. In the meantime, as anyone who has read my previous longer essays that can be found on my blog, I am still concerned about the self-destruction of the human species by the use of nuclear bombs, as are many other people in the various fields of human life.

Taking the long view of the cosmic universe and how life started on planet Earth, I have come to enjoy breathing oxygen. Therefore, I do not take breathing oxygen for granted, you know, instead of breathing radiation from a nuclear bomb. Life on planet Earth is very precious. It has been around for over 3.7 billion years.

"The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule that is produced by living things." (Taken off the web.)

I like drinking clean water. I enjoy watching a full moon go from one end of the sky to the other end of the sky when the weather is good enough. I love watching the birds fly in the sky which is something I normally cannot do unless I in an airplane or some other form of flying.

The one thing I do not enjoy doing is dealing is really stupid people. It seems that stupid people are all around us intellectuals, true intellectuals like me. Don’t get me wrong, I talk to people all of the time, even uneducated people of all sorts. I will talk to potheads about not smoking pot. I will talk to sexual perverts to explain to them that their lifestyle is absolutely disgusting.

I will give advice to the president of the United States or someone in politics whether he wants it or not. Religious people are not fun to talk to because they will not listen to something intelligent about the Bible for instance. It seems that potheads, sexual perverts of all kinds, and religious people are mentally stuck in the way they live and think. And so are some of the world leaders who have in their possession nuclear bombs. They are mentally stuck with the why and hows of being a world-class leader.

Therefore, there are those other sorts of people, the people who are both stupid, insane, and well just to top off the list, globally dangerous. Maybe you know what types of people I might be referring to; like the types of people who are so stupid and insane they border on the edge of pushing a button of for a nuclear explosion, just for the fun of it.

Why would they care if they push the buttons to set off nuclear weapons to destroy the entire living conditions on planet Earth? They have already killed and murdered countless of their own people, why not kill and murder other people who don't live in their country or nation. I have not given advice to any of those types of people, but if I could give them advice while drinking a cold beer or a glass of wine, I would tell them not to do it. To never push the button or turn the key to their nuclear weapons for any reason whatsoever. But like other stupid people, they will probably not listen to reason and common sense.

I wonder how many people in their hearts of hearts pray to God Almighty, while they are sitting in their own church, while they are praying to God for human stuff, while they are always forgetting to pray to God Almighty to never let a nuclear bomb be set off by the stupid, insane, and crazy leaders of the world.

They should be praying while sitting in church that a nuclear war never happens. To hope and pray that none of those really stupid, insane, and dangerous people never ever give the orders to have their nuclear weapons be launched in any direction on the planet.

Life on planet Earth is so precious that even thinking about using a nuclear bomb is stupid, insane, and crazy. Yet, that kind of thinking was happening during the Cold War just as it is happening today.

How many people who sit in their church pray for the big things in life on planet Earth, instead of for more money, a nicer car, better sex, better kids, having their favorite sports team win because they bet money on them, or they might even pray in church for who should be the next president of the United States of America, or for whoever president is up for election in their country.

I will state for the record that after I left the Catholic church every Sunday, I almost always felt good, felt better than before I entered the church. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed going to the church alone after hours just to sit on a wooden bench to think about stuff. I remember that I used to look around and up at the ceiling and I would think to myself, ‘Is God limited to this building? Isn’t God outside the church too?’ I would wait for an answer, but I think I already knew the answer.

If God has nothing to do with the life called nature in general, then it still might be a good idea to pray for that nature to not be destroyed by nuclear weapons. If God is a part of nature, then it would be even better that people pray that nuclear bombs never be dropped on all of the realms of nature on planet Earth. It probably would not do any good to pray for that because the really stupid, insane, and crazy world leaders do not care if there is a God or what it might think about humans destroying themselves with nuclear bombs.

When I was a young boy, I didn’t know that there were really stupid, insane, and dangerous people who had access to nuclear bombs. Otherwise, I would have been praying for them not to ever use a nuclear bomb for any reason whatsoever. Now that I am older and smarter, I realize that praying for a nuclear bomb to never be dropped on planet Earth is not going to work.

I liked sitting on the wooden bench in what is considered a house of God, even though I had this immature sense that something was wrong with the fact that I felt good after going to church on a Sunday morning in our boy suits. I know that some boys and teenagers never wear a suit ever, even after they get out of high school. There are boys and adults like that in the tiny, tiny, tiny town I currently live in now. I bet that the first time they saw me in a suit and tie, it was really weird for them.

I remember my dad getting everything ready the night before Sunday Catholic mass. Since he was a formal military guy, he was in the habit of having his army clothes as perfect as perfect can be without thinking about it. I assume his army suits were always in perfect condition to make everyone above him happy. Plus, who doesn’t like looking good in a suit, either a military suit or a civilian suit. I know that there are many men and boys who will never experience the satisfaction of wearing a good-looking suit, or even a tie. But I get it, they have no need to wear a suit at any time in their lives. That is ok by me. Who needs a suit when you are a fisherman?

On Saturday night, he would spend some time shining shoes and getting our boy suits ready for Sunday morning so there would be no time wasted while the coffee and breakfast were being prepared for hungry stomachs. I did not drink coffee when I was a boy, but I sure drink it now. I like drinking coffee. I often wonder how much work it takes from the moment the seed is in the ground until the coffee bean is ready to be put into the coffee maker.

So many steps. So much work. For the simple pleasure of drinking a fine cup of coffee. I did not think that way when I was a boy, but I am not a boy anymore. Come Sunday morning, the Sunday church clothes were ready to be put on our young boy bodies so everyone could wake up and take a quick shower, get into the station wagon, then drive to church.

It wasn’t a long drive. Oh no. Maybe ten minutes tops I am currently guessing. There was a white church with a big black cross on the building. It wasn’t a huge church, but it did the job that all churches are supposed to do for Catholics anyway. There were wooden benches, stained glass windows, a long table with a long white cloth on it. There were the candles and cups. Etc.

As we entered and left the station wagon on a warm Sunday morning, I always noticed that there were a lot of other people also dressed up and walking towards the Church, to sit down and wait for the priest to walk up to the table to begin his role at the church. He would start his religious song and dance routine. The priest would start repeating the same words he repeated the last week and for the last 10,000 weeks before any Sunday.

Honestly, it became really boring really fast. But that was ok with it. I liked having the time to think about what is happening around me. Plus, I needed time to think for myself in a church, which might be the best place to do personal thinking, or on top of a mountain somewhere. But climbing a mountain takes time and work. And you have to be in shape for it too, I will add.

I did not like or enjoy repeating he same words over and over again every Sunday, but I always felt better for at least few minutes if not up to an hour after mass. As a boy, I started to ask myself why I felt better after going to a church mass? What was it that made me feel better after I left the church at the end of the Catholic mass? I didn’t know. It had to be something special I thought to myself. Maybe something supernatural, or something invisible to the human eyes.

As I looked around at the other people, especially the grown-ups, I watched them repeat the same words that they had been repeating ever since I walked into the church. They sang the same exact songs over and over again too. They would sit down, and then they would stand up exactly like they were on a television show in front of a camera.

Nevertheless, I wondered if all of those people felt good repeating the same exact actions every week and if they felt better than before they walked into the church on a warm Sunday morning. In other words, did they feel good and better by simply being religious human biological robots? I did not feel like a religious robot even as a boy.

Why and What? Why and what was happening within my mind before I entered the church, during the mass, and then after I left the church? The church is, after all, just a building made from wood or stone and glass. It was nice inside with all of the religious items like statues, candle holders, candles, stained glass windows, Bibles, etc.

When I left the church, nothing outside had changed. The green grass was still green grass. The blue sky was still the blue sky. The station wagon was still the station wagon. The people all looked like the same people before they entered the church. Nothing in the outside world had changed either, or so it seemed to me as a boy who knew nothing about the world in America or anywhere else for the matter, that maybe something had changed within my brain, heart, and soul. Little did I know what an atomic or nuclear bomb was and that it could kill me and every living thing for miles.

Was the good feeling within my brain and mind? Was that a good feeling in my body? Did everyone feel good too? Why? Was it a supernatural experience from somewhere, from a God, from a supernatural creature, from a guy named Jesus? Was I walking around in an invisible bubble that was protecting me from the dangers and evils of the world? I knew that there were evil people, but I did not know how evil human beings can be towards each other, although I did learn that later.

I knew that I knew nothing about the external world, nor about America, nor the world. Of course, kids know nothing of the world, even if they are watching the news on television. How could kids know anything or everything about the world?

That means how could I have known that there was not only one church with a group of people feeling good about going to church but that there were and still are countless amounts of churches of different kinds throughout the whole world. Billions of people must feel good about going to a church of any kind, all over the globe, but does it do any good or protect anyone from a nuclear bomb? Now I know that going to church will not protect anyone from a nuclear bomb if it is heading towards you.

There was a point in my young life when going to church did not feel good anymore. I do not know when or why? All I know is that I got bored with the same Sunday church routine, so I stopped going to a church with the family although they seemed happy doing it, even to this day is my guess. Now, my house is more like a personal self-made church just for me.

I have more than a bunch of angel statues I have collected over the years and all of my walls have religious posters and artwork, along with other artwork that I have been collecting for almost fifty years. My house is a personal church and museum combined. When people walk into my house, they will never forget it. Hopefully, they will feel good and better within themselves just the way I used to feel good and better when I entered the Catholic church on the east coast.

Now, instead of an emotional sense of feeling good simply because I entered a church to continually repeat the same words and songs over and over again, and to leave the building called a church, I have something more important than simply a good feeling that seems like a supernatural feeling.

I have something called metaphysical spiritual understanding within my consciousness which is more than a humanly intellectual exercise or humanly mental mind tricks of mentally religious delusions about God, man, the universe, and of course, what is evil and how to deal with and handle the mental claims termed evil. It is a sad thing. People go to church, but they never learn how to handle the mental claims of evil, especially from other people. The evils that are located within the human mind is much worse than the make-believe devil and Satan.

It is sad to think that many Christians and even some non-Christians alike believe in an external evil out there somewhere that is lingering making people do humanly evil stuff. They use the terms devil and Satan and demons. The reality is that even if there was a devil and Satan and demons floating around the invisible world, the truth of the matter is that there is worse evil within the human mortal mind than in all of the mentally delusional fantasies people make up in their minds about a devil, Satan, and demons, or evil monsters.

There are very evil people in the world who would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons as if they were playing a video game when instead of spending their nation's money creating, building, and getting ready to use nuclear weapons, they could be spending all of that money on food, health care, roads, houses, etc. That is just plain stupid. The insane part is when they truly believe that they are doing more good than harm by owning nuclear weapons.

Yet, there are now currently more than enough modern-day nuclear weapons to really create a worldwide self-destructive force the likes of which has never been seen in any movie since movies started to be made and watched. So, there are more nuclear weapons with fewer and fewer people going to church who should be praying to God Almighty that those nuclear weapons should never be used on planet Earth.

There are still lots of people who take the time to spend a few moments or hours inside a church to pretend to pray and to worship Jesus all the while there are still nuclear bombs pointed at America from other nations around the globe. Jesus is not going to help people if the nuclear bombs ever start flying through the clear blue sky. So far, Jesus has not helped with all of the humanly created problems all around the globe, so therefore there must be something better than praying to a human being who lived over 2000 years ago even if he is still alive somehow.

It is weird. I think that most Christians are spending their Sunday morning or afternoon or even in their daily lives trying to make the human man Jesus happy instead of making God, Spirit, happy. I have to tell you, my dear readers, making a guy named Jesus who is long gone is not the same thing as making God, Spirit, ‘happy.’

Making God, Spirit, 'happy' means praying and worshiping spiritually instead of materially, and that means more than getting on your knees and singing songs as God, Spirit Almighty as if God, Spirit, cares if you get on your knees to sing songs to it. I am just saying. All of that outward form of worship is not the same thing as a true metaphysical and spiritual understanding of God, Spirit, and the spiritual consciousness which can be applied to the human condition.

Now that I am older, smarter, wiser, and much more educated, I now know that what is more important than becoming humanly, materially religiously emotional, and feeling good and happy is a true spiritual understanding of the realm of God, Spirit in its own realm of existence that does not create any type or form of human evil, sickness, death, nor war, like a nuclear war. If the human species destroys itself by nuclear weapons, no one can blame God, Spirit, for it.

As an example, and as a pure mental exercise taken from Max Kappeler's book, 'The Four Levels of Spiritual Consciousness.' I will explain what God, Spirit is within its own realm of existence or being.

Spirit is being its own infinite Mind or infinite Intelligence, which does not create an evil human mind.

Spirit is being its own infinite Spirit or infinite spiritual substance which not the nature of an evil materialistic human mind.

Spirit is being its own infinite Soul or unchangeable and sinless identity. Spirit does not create a perverted sexual human being who is obsessed with sexual organs.

Spirit is being its own infinite Principle or infinite spiritual universe. Spirt does is not matter per se.

Spirit is being its own infinite Life or self-existence. Spirit does not create the mortal concept of death.

Spirit is being its own infinite Truth or self-consciousness. Spirit does not create an evil human consciousness.

Spirit is being its own infinite Love or state of spiritual perfection. Spirit does not create hate and fear.


I have been watching a Netflix series titled, ‘Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War.’

Everyone should watch it as a reminder of what was in the past and to learn what could be in the future.

Personally, I was not alive during the first part of the series beginning in the 1950s. But I was alive in the late 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and onwards. When recall that young boy, I remember that young boy who felt good after he left the church on a nice sunny warm Sunday morning, it is that same boy who had to go to school on Monday to practice ducking under a small wooden school desk if an atomic or nuclear bomb dropped from the sky on our heads.

Of course, I never felt good ducking under a small wooden child’s desk because unlike feeling good in the church, ducking under a small wooden desk because nuclear bombs might be dropping from the clear blue sky to kill all of us kids and adults alike was not a feeling good at that moment. From a Sunday mass to a Monday ducking under a wooden child's desk in case of a nuclear war. Hum!

I remember being told to duck down under the very small child desk for practice runs just in case a nuclear bomb was dropped on the area. The desk was there to hopefully protect us from the falling roof which again seemed sort of stupid and insane to me at the time and it still seems that way now.

How many kids had to practice ducking under a desk on a Monday afternoon when only the Sunday before that Monday they were all happy to be in a church? What a dualist sense of reality for anyone to be living in either back then or now. As a child, it was a bit confusing. Was going to church going to help us survive a nuclear bomb?

How many adults spend their Sundays in all of the various churches in America and all around the globe while all of those nuclear weapons are still there? Oh no, much better and improved nuclear weapons are still there waiting to be launched by the push of a finger on a button or a turn of a key in a guarded lock. Do people get extra points in a heaven of some sort if they die in church instead of at home by a nuclear blast? I can only wonder. Maybe or maybe not. It probably does not make a difference to God, Spirit.

All I was thinking was that if a nuclear bomb was dropped anywhere next to the school I would be flattened like a pancake because the building's roof was surely going to drop down on the whole classroom and all of the classrooms in the building. The other thing I was thinking was that the atomic or nuclear bomb would evaporate our small child bodies into a complete state of nothingness so fast that we would not even know or feel a thing.

How is that for a feeling after a Sunday visit to the Catholic church to feel good about God and Jesus? That is a horrible and sucky feeling even now because not only do I remember it, but it actually could happen at any second if some really stupid and insane and dangerous person decides to do an insane and stupid thing to the human species with a nuclear bomb.

The other thing I was thinking about as a little boy during the Cold War was what good was it going to do for me if some really stupid and insane people used a nuclear bomb against us? What was going to church going to do for us after we were evaporated into thin air in less than a second? It would have happened so fast that no one would have known that it even had happened.

Sometimes, when we were in church the priest should have said something like, ‘Pray to our Lord our God and the Savior Jesus Christ to save us from the nuclear bombs.’ (Not really.) I would always think to myself, ‘Hum. I don’t think that Jesus Christ is going to save anyone from the nuclear bombs. I don’t think that God is going to save us from the nuclear bombs. I don’t think anyone, or anything is going to save the human species from the self-destruction by way of the nuclear bombs.’

But we went to church anyway. Then we went home and had a meal or a dinner. Some people watched the evening news. I would take a walk to the world of nature, far away from the people who watched the daily and nightly news, but more importantly to be far away from the news itself. I still feel that way even though I know and understand more about what is going on in the world better than most people is my guess. My dad was a news junkie, so I also developed the habit of watching the news, too much.

Sometimes when we were in school the teachers might have said something like, ‘Before you go to bed tonight, pray that the world would be safe from all war and the complete self-destruction of the human species from nuclear bombs. Pray to whatever god you like to help save us from being evaporated into a state of nothingness in less than a second. (Not really.) But can you imagine if she had said that to you?

Nevertheless, we went to school the next day anyway. There was never a take a day off from school so you could enjoy a day of freedom from not having to worry about being evaporated into a state of nothingness in less than a nanosecond while you were hiding underneath a wooden table. Human life continued to go on anyway. That is the way the current condition is now. Life goes on!

Personally, I thought that it was way too late to pray to either God or Jesus to save me and the human species from the nuclear bombs because the nuclear bombs were already built. Although they have not destroyed the whole human species yet, it is not too late for the survival of the human species.

It would have been better to pray to God and Jesus to never have had the nuclear bombs built in the first place. Human prayer seemed to do nothing to stop the crazy and insane world leaders from their nuclear bomb-threatening words and games with each other while the whole world watches them do it.

Shouldn’t evil world leaders be afraid of their own personal hell if they kill and murder millions or billions of innocent and defenseless human beings? That is probably a downside of world leaders not being Christians or in any way religious. They have no sense of morals, right and wrong, good and evil.

Honestly, I did not know a whole lot about all of the nuclear bomb stuff and the international political stuff that was happening like I do now. Of course, I am much older, smarter, and more educated than when I was a young boy, which is the natural course of events during a person’s short lifetime.

Sometimes when I look at the people around me, I wonder what they know and feel about nuclear bombs? What would they tell me if I asked them what they thought about nuclear bombs and the stupid, insane, and crazy people who would use them on us? They would respond, 'What is the point of thinking about it.'

I do not think that all of the prayers in the whole world, by all of the people in the whole world, are going to stop all of us from being wiped off the face of the globe by nuclear war bombs. The conclusion among many might be this fact. All of the good feelings by going to church are not going to help me or the human species survive a nuclear attack from anywhere in the world. Therefore, why in the world is anyone going to church anyway? Hum!

Was worshipping inside a church going to bring me closer to God or that Jesus guy who was made into that white, bronze, or gold statue? I had no idea even if I thought that being inside a church was a nice place to be, seemingly safe from a crazy world of crazy, dangerous, and criminal people, some of whom still lived on the street in the town where we lived. Have you noticed that some people actually walk on planet Earth just like they are zombies with their eyes open, yet they are mentally dead like zombies? I see these types of people all the time walking by my house.

I learned later in my life that my dad moved us out of our boyhood town and state just so my brother and I would not get killed by the criminal element in town. He probably moved us out of town to get a better job too, but my mother worked across the street from the middle school we attended, so she knew firsthand how dangerous it was for us boys.

I currently live in a very tiny town where the faggot high school boys think that they are badass, but they have no idea what badass is. They play other football teams that are half the size of the seniors, so when they win a football game 30-0, they feel good. I bet they don't think about going to a church and nuclear bombs and war. They live in their fantasy mental dream worlds. Most people do not think about church, God, Jesus, nuclear war, and bombs either. They have better things to do with their minds.

When I was in the eighth grade, I witnessed deadly gang fights where very dangerous and violent criminals were trying to kill each other by way of knives, baseball bats, chains, guns, you name it. When I was still a young boy, I realized very quickly that not everyone attended a church, nor thought about the Bible, God, and Jesus.

But they did end up either dead or in prison for the rest of their lives. I did not understand it. But I saw it. Stupid, insane, and violent school-age teenagers who are just like some of the world leaders of today, only the nuclear world leaders possess nuclear weapons. What a shame. What a shame.

So, when I was inside the church, as much as I thought there was something good about it, I felt a little bit safe from the dangers of the outside world, except for the daily news with the imagery of total destruction from atomic and nuclear bombs. The Netflix series shows how close the world was to a nuclear war in various ways.

You can guess that as a boy I had no idea what was happening in the church or in the world because not only was I really confused about the differences between the realm of the church and the realm of the world, but I also knew people still went to church knowing that at any moment a nuclear bomb could drop on us all. Even today, it is there in the back of the mind, isn't it?

Then after church, they all exited the church to drive home in their cars, trucks, and station wagons listening to their radios that were broadcasting how a bomb from Russia or Cuba could land on us at any minute. Today, there are bigger and better nuclear bombs, but nobody seems to give a rat's ass because everyone has learned to live with the fact that nuclear weapons are waiting to be used to kill every living creature on planet Earth.

Sometimes, when I was inside the church listening to people singing, or just watching the people listening to the priest repeat the same words over and over again, I would wonder if some of these people were going to church just to escape the news on the television and the radio. Were they there because they hoped that there was a god somewhere that would save them from the nuclear bomb and its radiation that would spread faster than a bullet throughout the land?

Why do people go to a church anyway? Is it to have fun singing like the Baptists? Is it to socialize with other people in Church? Is it to be politically, correct? Is it to teach their children about Jesus? Is it simply to feel-good, like a religious feel-good that just maybe in the ‘eyes’ of a god or God they might get some special treatment because they give 20 dollars to the church?

That is a funny topic actually, giving money to the church. I think that my parents gave more money to the church than they gave to us kids. I know that when I was a kid, I had to work to earn money, like mowing the grass on people’s lawns and delivering newspapers. I never gave any of my childhood money to the church for any reason. Good or bad, I kept my money to myself, unless my dad took some of my money out of my money bank. He once stated to me that he would pay me back, but I don’t think he ever did pay me back. So, I quit mowing lawns and delivering newspapers.

Anyway, all of those grown-ups going to church and knowing that at any minute a nuclear bomb could drop on their heads killing them in a nano-second was not a good thought or a feel-good feeling within the boy that I was way back then in my life. Now that I am getting older and life has passed me by, it would not matter much to me at this stage in my life. I would like to sip and drink a beer if I had the time to do it before my biological body was evaporated into something else besides skin, bones, blood, and brain.

I also wondered why people thought the way to know God Almighty was to go to church, like they were separated from church instead of being at one with God, Spirit. Wasn’t there a better way to become at one with God, Spirit, instead of going to a building, even if it was a religious building? I always thought that once the people left the church, they always forgot about God which kind of seemed to disrespect the God that was Spirit.

Then they were allowed to do whatever they pleased, like having perverted sex, drinking beer and wine, watching porn, being violent, abusing dogs and cats and other living creatures, and even killing other human beings, like they did in the mafia. Mafia guys going to church seem a bit weird to me. Still does. Even in the movies. Hitmen for the mob going to church. That is weird.

Some people find it easy to kill other human beings like the hitmen in the mafia and in war. It is easy for some people, just pull the gun’s trigger and a human body drops to the floor or dirt and you walk away. Afterward, go to a Catholic confession and ask for forgiveness so that it would be forgiven. Your sins would be forgiven for you, even murdering a defenseless and possibly innocent human being. Would a hitman return to church just to be forgiven of his sinful crime of murder? Give the church some money and lo and behold, he is forgiven even more than after the confessional.

How about dropping an atomic bomb or two on defenseless and innocent people in Japan or anywhere in the world. Drop an atomic bomb or nuclear bomb, go to a Catholic confession, and bang, you are forgiven of your sins. Of course, Japan started that war so in a way they asked for it, the atomic being dropped on them. They were warned but they did not care until it was too late. I think that it has been stated that there are no innocent people in a time of war or a world war. No guilt there for logical reasons it has been stated over and over again.

Did the Japanese people also go to their churches or religious temples and pray to their gods to help them win the war that their leaders started in the first place? Do all peoples of all nations go to their churches to pray that their country will win the wars that they are fighting for probably no good reason? When is the exact moment when going to a church, any church anywhere in the world becomes a feel-bad moment instead of a feel-good moment?

Do people anywhere in the world stop going to any church in the world because their minds and souls have become so corrupt with perverted sexual practices, with their minds and bodies drugged up with horrible self-killing drugs, with the greed for money so all people’s precious time and life is devoted to earning money without giving one thought about how to worship either inside or outside a church, or just because they have given up on any God in any way whatsoever?

Maybe people have given up on worshipping a spiritual God, Spirit, within their own hearts, minds, and souls because they are too busy with living in the material world; the world of news, movies, porn, sports of all kinds, images upon images on trillions of screens all over the world, as if any of those images have anything to do with spiritual reality. They don’t have anything to do with spiritual reality but don’t tell that to the people of the world because they think all of those images on the screens are reality.

What happens to the people of the world when they see and need to see more and more images of mental garbage to pollute their minds and souls? But still, we all know it, don’t we. We all know that there are currently even more powerful, more deadly, and even better killing machines than there were in the 1950s.

Yet, the churches stay the same and so don't the prayerful words. What needs to be done is to have a complete change and transformation within the deep structure of the human brain, mind, and consciousness to something more spiritual instead of a materialistic way of looking at the world and human life and existence.

Yet, people still go to church, the same church they went to when they were a child, a teenager, or a young adult to repeat the same exact religious words that they repeated when they were only a child or teenager. Easy-peasy to repeat the same words over and over again until the day you die. And when you die, the bombs of collective mass destruction will still be there too, even if you will not be around to see how good they killed a billion people or more in less than a nanosecond.

Is that what you want for your children and grandchildren while you sit on your butts praying with endless repetitive words and phrases like, ‘In the name of Jesus we are saved.’ Saved from what, a nuclear bomb?

Even Jesus will not save you from a nuclear bomb because your biological human body will turn into something worse than dust. They will turn into a state of nothingness faster than you can blink, unless your biological bodies turn into something completely different like a ghost or a spirit located in another realm of existence. I read somewhere that can actually happen when you die. Your present body just enters another realm of existence. I bet most older people would like to forget their bodies altogether.

What about your human soul and consciousness? Will your human soul and consciousness turn into nothingness too because you wasted your human lives on planet Earth by being completely possessed by having sex and your sexual organs, by making money, and watching your favorite football, baseball, basketball, etc. team? What about that nice looking car you love to be seen it while you wave at the gold digger ladies whose bodies have been worn out by their one-night stands?

There is nothing wrong with watching sports, do not get me wrong. Sports are good for any economy in America and around the globe. There is nothing wrong with driving a nice-looking car. There is nothing wrong with looking good. Heck, I love wearing nice-looking clothes, even though in the very tiny, tiny, tiny town I currently live in there are townies who look at a brand-new pair of shoes and they will point at them and whisper to themselves, ‘Who does he think he is?’

Anyway, I am currently reading several good books, one being ‘God and the New Physics.’ In the chapter titled, ‘Mind and soul.’ the author writes about how the human ‘soul’ has been mentally perceived throughout the ages. Although a very short historical view of it with only a few examples of how the soul might exist, even independent of the brain and body, Davies explains some ideas about the human soul.

He writes about, ‘a timeless soul that does not exist in the body or even in space and time.’ ‘What about soul after death, before birth.’ (Shorten and paraphrased.)

And he stated, ‘Jesus spoke of ‘life everlasting’, which carries connotations of the unending passage of time.”

He also states, ‘Could this be the ocean of the soul?’ relating to another realm separated from this cosmic universe where the soul (s), or human souls in this case might exist independent of this space and time universe and biological life on planet Earth.

You can gather from the above quotes that physicists don’t not only study matter and the laws of matter and the material realm, (physics) but as the title of the book implies, physicists also think about the realm of metaphysics and how it relates to the physical realms of existence.

They are thinking way above the emotional religionist who goes to church every Sunday to pretend to pray, sing songs, and kneel before a priest, and a Jesus statue on the wall. Isn’t it about time that the common people, the ordinary people also start to think for themselves because as my human mother used to tell me, ‘God gave you a brain for a reason. Use it.’

Do you think to yourselves those what-if questions of your life and in life in general? I have a book titled, ‘What If.” Like what if Jesus never existed? What if Hilter never lived? Stuff like that. What if there were no more nuclear weapons and bombs that are a threat to human life and all life on planet Earth?

Just to recall an event I had almost 50 years ago, I was coming down from an episode of semi-tripping on a common drug back then when I was young and stupid. It was cold outside. It was dark outside, I was alone outside at 3am in the morning, standing in the snow. I was dressed nice and warm but since my brain was feeling pretty good if you know what I mean, I probably would not have felt the cold anyway, or at least I was partly numb.

Anyway, I was standing out there in a field with no one around me, except any angels that have been watching over me since the day I was born into this world. I seem to have a lot of those around, especially lately.

It is a very good thing too since I am surrounded by a lot of uneducated and stupid people in the tiny, tiny, tiny town I currently live in. It is sad to think that uneducated and stupid people do not like educated and intelligent people. Modern-day young cops hate educated people I have learned, although I was told that truth a long time ago.

Anyway, I was standing there all alone looking up at the stars, and suddenly a question popped into my brain/mind. “What would you do if you saw a nuclear bomb flash before your very eyes?”

Hum! I wondered. What could I do if I saw a nuclear bomb flash before my very eyes?

It was a real question that had been in the back of my mind since that night. The answer and key to that question might be, ‘What are you going to do no matter how you die?’ And ‘Are you prepared for your human death? Or have you wasted all of your time on Earth being stupid in the eyes of God, Spirit?’

What should I do now, throughout my whole human life just in case a nuclear bomb did flash before my very eyes? I started to think about the future of myself and the human species in general.

I have spent my entire life searching, researching, finding, using, and being the truth, and the Truth called God, Spirit. I have survived death more times than I can count. Just ask one of my sisters who has been there a few times when a normal human being would have been dead on arrival.

That is DOA, folks. Therefore, I speak and write about these essays from a completely different standpoint than a normal writer who likes to live in fantasy land, which is not a bad thing unless you think your fantasy land is reality when it is not reality at all.

Honestly, I think that if I knew that a nuclear bomb was heading this way, I wouldn’t go to a church. I think I might want to be on top of a high mountain somewhere just so I can get to heaven first. Ha, ha!

When I was in college studying International Economics/Finance, I was also wondering how to develop a more powerful brain. So in 2001,I began a very specialized ambidextrous brain exercise program, for two hours per day,for many years. Those brain exercise began with me writing out words,mostly verbs, with both hands in different patterns.That developed into dual handed sentence writing to longer stories and dual handed drawing exercises.Details are for future books.I did these two hour brain workouts as a personal experiment to restructure my brain's neurons for the purpose of making my brain stronger for writing and language development; for logically creative storying writing.As far as I know, I am the only person in the course of history to have developed these ambidextrous hand/brain exercises.The purpose of these ambidextrous brain exercises is to strenghten both sides of the brain for language skills development, and to connect both sides of the brain together for language skills development. There is a very logical neurological reason for using two hands to write and draw as brain exercises. I also draw with both hands. 52 Stories is my testament!
