Should Be Doing Math

Instead I'm sitting here thinking about how slippery memory is.

( When I Was 5 )

Something Stupid...

In 1898, a book called 'Futility' was written by Morgan Robertson. It was the tale of a 45,000-ton, 800-foot British ocean liner called 'Titan' (the book was edited in 1912 to make it 70,000 tons). Titan had two masts and three propellers, could hold 3000 people (but at the time of its sinking, only had about 2000 people aboard), didn't have enough life boats (24 boats for 3000 people)... and struck an ice 'beach' on its starboard side (possibly the result of a large chunk of glacier sloughing into the ocean, or an iceberg flipping over) in April of its third voyage.

This book was written 14 years before the Titanic sunk. Now, the Titanic, much like the Titan, was a 60,000-ton, 880-foot long British ocean liner, with two masts & three propellers, passenger capacity of 3000, too few life boats (20 for 3000 passengers)... and had 2200 people aboard when it struck an iceberg on its starboard side & sank - in April.

I got these little factoids from Alberto Villoldo, PhD.'s 'Mending the Past & Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval'. Now, this book talks about how time doesn't go in a straight line - the past informing and shaping the future in a continuous one-way flow, but that time is fluid - the future can influence the past, what we do now influences the past and future, etc. Basic stuff, really. So when talking about 'Futility, the author proposed that the author foresaw the Titanic disaster. (I was thinking maybe in some way, the author caused the disaster). I also looked up information on his other book, 'Beyond the Spectrum', written in 1914. It described a war between the U.S. & Japan... in which Japan launched sneak attacks against the U.S. in the Philippines & Hawaii. It involved a weapon that produced intense heat and light causing facial burns and blindness.

Weird stuff out there in the world.
