Meditation is timeless observing.
Controlling is quite the opposite of it.
Getting out of being controlled (by thoughts, for example) - as well as of controlling (trying to control)- is a side effect of observing.

If you need many words to describe something simple, you probably didn't get it...

Here, we start from here. Why do you feel like 'control' is a bad word? Or a bad practice?

Feeling in control is confidence. Confidence is not letting anything interfere with u'r vibration. Basically you meditate to hold a certain vibration. We do not judge or lay a sentence if a vibration is good or bad. You are just in control of a certain vibration. If u want to control fear or courage and always be in a state of fear or courage. You can do that trough meditation. Because meditation is a tool that you can incorporate within you and adapt it with your surroundings. Control is not bad, it's just a state of meditation.

Strangely enough, about a week before the Thai navy came after us a friend of mine told me that he has had friends killed who were trying to create technology to go into space.

Mainstreaming space will definitely open a can of worms and rock a few boats.

One eye opening thing I was told is...whoever controls Earth's orbit, controls access to space for all humans. And eventually the whole world.

This is a good point. Never thought about that.

I question this whole idea.. sounds like more pie in the sky man trying to suggest that he can control nature without screwing it up.. how the fuck are you going to change the Earth's orbit without engaging in major screw ups?  Fantasy landia in science and military matters might even be worse than the fantasies in the etherhead space... or life extension bullshit suggesting that peeps can live until 500 or some other nonsense like that.. . when you would be lucky to get to 100 and still have anything close to quality of life.. a rare beast who makes it to 100 and still has some semblance of quality of life.. indeed.

 

I'm not talking about changing the orbit. It's about having control of the space in Earth's orbit. Mainly...if anything flies from Earth to space, they will need approval of whomever has all of their technology up there. Once someone is in a position to shoot down anything coming into space, they have full control over all future access to space. They also likely have the ability to destroy things on Earth from space such that they can now dictate what is done on Earth.

Akin to people living on an island and a single company now owns all of the boats right off of the island. Anyone new creating a boat and putting it in the water will have it sunk immediately. These boats may also have artillery to shell the land. Whomever owns all of those boats now controls the island and any considerations of expanding off of the island.

We think a lot about those black lines, forgetting that it’s all still in our hands.

This is so only from the conventional point of view.
This is the alternative:

https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/a-controversial-theory-claims-present-past-and-future-exist-at-the-same-time

To sketch it roughly, it proposes that:

The block universe theory says that our universe may be looked at as a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime, containing all the things that ever happen

Personally, I do sometimes experience a sense of Déjà vu or the acute sense that it is wrong to do certain action (I feel it almost like a physical force).
It does not happen often, but every time it results in profound changes in the life trajectory.
Perhaps, this is the block time universe giving me a 'signal' so I don't deviate from what "suppose" to happen?
It is weird, but I got used to it and don't "fight".

Venezuela's central bank hyperinflation now preparing to print the 1 million bolivar note 
https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/venezuela-to-introduce-1-million-bolivar-bill-as-inflation-persists

Wheelbarrow manufacturers in Caracas jumping from tall buildings today...

The new largest bill of 1 million bolivar is equivalent of USD $0.55 , not sure how much things cost but I might still see a future for the wheelbarrow guys

I have no idea if it is or not but it's been too long since we had some Ron Paul.

It’s been happening all year so far.

‘The Happening/Fappening’ will be later this year though.

That may be so, but you have to ask where do they refuel and provision the boats?

If they have to bring their boats back to land for food and fuel, those boats are vulnerable. And if the dictator that controls the boats lives on the land, then he is vulnerable too.  

So long as whoever controls Earth orbit lives on earth, they can be dealt with.  It’s only when they live off earth (Mars?) that it becomes a real problem.

Yes, most people instead of  looking at the future in the way depicted on the image you share they see themselves trapped in a single path without any possibility to get out of it and for the most part I think this is because of the sunk cost fallacy.

They think that since they have invested so much time and money on their current path even if they do not like it they still need to keep going on that direction and that is not true, this fallacy is very common when it comes to relationships and money, and what better example of this than what we see in bitcoin.

At least in my social circle they are finally admitting they made a mistake by not invest in bitcoin when it was cheaper, however instead of correcting such mistake by investing in bitcoin now they are giving excuses like “It’s too late” or “It’s too expensive” and other similar excuses, basically they are using their previous mistake to justify and make yet another mistake which does not make any sense at all, it is true the value of bitcoin is considerable but the question should be will the value of bitcoin be even higher during the next decades? And the answer is an obvious yes so it should be an easy buy and yet they do not do it, they are afraid of getting out of the current path in which they are and they limit their options in a nonsensical way.

“It’s police departments, hospitals, tons of city and state governments and credit unions,” said one source who’s working closely with federal officials on the matter. “Just about everyone who’s running self-hosted Outlook Web Access and wasn’t patched as of a few days ago got hit with a zero-day attack.”

And on tomorrow's agenda, forcing backdoors in encryption, because America's shameful infrastructure is plainly not vulnerable enough already and needs downgrading to remove any vestiges of security left.

I feel like a jerk to say that, but those who trust their email to an Outlook server almost deserve it. When will they learn?

Personal dilemma because I'm afraid of heights but I can stand new bitcoin ATHs.
Will I be able to get onboard the elevator?
That is the problem.
Or maybe I should avoid too much coffee in the morning.
 

Fuck the space elevator..

sure let them research into it, build it, imagine great things about it and even go in little space elevator "trips" including going to places where no man has gone before or whatever..

I will be perfectly contentening here on earth in my waning days banging hookers, lambo donuting and snorting blow.

I might feel a bit bullish. But still skeptical.

Companies are having a hard time getting away from Microsoft. There are open source solutions for all Microsoft products, but employees often don't want to adapt. It's also a legal and insurance issue for some companies that require regular audits because Microsoft products have a better reputation than solutions from lesser known open source vendors.

Let me rephrase the picture...

Black hole:
"A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it.
The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole."

Bitcoin:
"A Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency of the world where gravity is so strong that nothing—paper money or even governments such as Central Banks—can escape from it.
The theory of cryptocurrency predicts that a sufficiently compact mass (21million coins) can decentralize governments to form a new world."
