SOLVE COAGULA

And let me speak to the yet unknowing world, how these things came about. So shall you hear of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts - of accidental judgments, casual slaughters and of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause:

German pranksters epically troll multi-million dollar arms manufacturer by starting recall panic in the U.S.

They told gun vendors that Donald Trump made their country too dangerous a place to conduct business.

"When the allies came to Germany after the war, they taught us pacifism," they said. "We want to send this pacifism back to the United States as our way of saying thank you — because you need it."

 According to Hardin’s First Law of Human Ecology: “We can never do merely one thing.” In a material system, where the only predetermined certainty in life is death, the ramifications of any actions branch inevitably towards destruction.

Thereby an agent within the Cycle of Samsara inherently generates suffering as a byproduct of its existence - indeed life perpetuates death.

Yet consciousness does not seemingly necessitate death/suffering only the movement of matter/energy. Herein is the Bhodisattva Path - the search to mitigate suffering in existence leads towards the transcendence of death and discovery of immortality/moksha. Consciousness can exist in the material universe free of suffering

EXCERPTS: Relief Of Pain In Childbirth  (1954)

‘Requirements of an ideal analgesic and the use of nitrous oxide and trichlorethlene in childbirth. A pregnant woman is shown on a hospital bed and the voice-over sets the tone for this medical information film, explaining that there are four key factors in seeking analgesia in childbirth. The mother remains conscious and co-operative, there are good uterine contractions, the method is safe for mother and baby and respiration in the baby is not repressed. Reminding the viewer of the happy outcome of labour, the mother is shown with her new baby.’ (from www.archive.org)

Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth fifty-five years ago on February 20, 1962. With the world watching the historic and live-televised event, Glenn orbited the Earth three times in his space capsule, Friendship 7. Four hours and 55 minutes after ignition, John Glenn and Friendship 7 returned to Earth and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.

This film, titled “Friendship 7,” was produced by General Dynamics Corporation in 1962 for NASA detailing Glenn’s flight, including his pre-flight preparations and actual footage from within the capsule during the flight. It also includes scenes showing NASA tracking stations from around the world.
