I didn't realise that this had to be a purely scientific future. I won't say anymore. Still, I think its highly a relevant possible future, just from a spiritual angle that's all.Quote:

Okay matey, apologies. However, the future of the human race is now intimately tied (in a race against time) to the rapid spiritual development of humanity. Without a real and extreme shift in the way we do things, we are heading for an Extinction Event within a couple of generations.Quote:

idk about most of you, but this sounds too good to be true. Of course I would love to see lunar field trips and manned missions to the gas giants which wont come until after Im long gone otherwise...but Im pretty sure I better not hold my breath that Im in the generation who can finally not die of aging.
Come on, can you seriously ask that? Xei wants to discuss a likely future, not a ridiculously improbable one.Quote:

The BBC has made several programmes about Maitreya but the powers that be pulled the plug on them so it is being taken seriously.
This is kinda true, and I also am not getting my hopes up. Obviously the predictions from the 1900s for today were ridiculous, and many of these most likely are too. But, at the very least we have actual scientists examining the cells and dna themselves for answers now, which is more than we can say about many past predictions.Quote:
