3 basic ways out of this galaxy to potentially continue to survive, (as a species or whatever evolves from our species): 1. Long way: Outward through the galactic plane. 2. Medium way: Outward through the angled solar system's plane. 3. Short way: Outward, about 90 degrees from the galactic plane, as adjusted for the galactic magnetic lines of flux for a smoother ride. (Basically 'rise above' the collapsing spiral shaped galaxy). * And music, don't forget music. It's going to be a long trip.

LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS? * (Lowest Level): Just energy in a coherent format interacting with itself. * Some sort of feedback mechanism, but with no real consciousness, memories or thoughts. * Some sort of 'memory' established, but still no consciousness to consciously interact with that memory. Just basically like stored preprograms that get activated at certain times. * Low level unconscious activity occurs that can interact with those stored memories. * Higher level consciousness activity occurs, while still having unconscious activity, that interacts with those stored memories with 'thoughts'. (Where we are currently at).

Consider the following: a. Put a simple small magnet on a table. It of course would have it's associated magnetic field around it. b. Now bring a second magnet with it's associated magnetic field closer and closer to the first magnet on the table. c. The magnetic energy fields interact, even though the physical magnets don't physically touch. Depending upon the interaction, the second magnet could even get the first magnet to physically move, without actually physically touching the first magnet. d. Now consider that modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy. Quarks and electrons of course being considered charged particles, each having their associated magnetic fields with them. e. So, as far as how the brain actually works and to have memories and thoughts, don't forget the interacting magnetic fields associated with quarks and electrons, especially in a tightly spaced physical brain. (And then possibly any electromagnetic energy frequency interactions as well). Is even our 'consciousness' some sort of state of existence of an inherent magnetic energy field within our physical brain?

Question: Where do thoughts actually come from? For example: Modern science claims that we have billions of brain cells with trillions of brain cell connections. How exactly does the energy signal 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent thought? An analogy I utilize is to spread a brain out like a map. Brain cells are represented by towns and cities, brain cell interconnections are represented by roads and highways, and the energy signal is represented by a vehicle traveling between one or more towns and/or cities. A coherent thought is a coherent trip. How exactly does the vehicle 'know' where and when to start, what path to take, and where and when to stop to form a single coherent trip? A higher intelligence has to tell it those things. But, that is a coherent 'trip' (thought) in and of itself. So, how exactly does our brain think a thought before it consciously thinks that thought? And if thoughts can be thought without consciously thinking thoughts, then what do we need to consciously think thoughts for? Just to consciously think thoughts that are already thought? What then of 'freewill' if we don't even consciously think our own thoughts? And then to further that situation, modern science claims that many different energy signals are starting at various places in the brain, take various pathways, and stop at different places, just to form a single coherent thought. (With the analogy, many vehicles are starting at various places on the map, taking various routes, and stopping at various places, all together forming a single coherent 'trip'.) And somehow it's all coordinated and can happen very quickly and very often. So, where do thoughts actually come from? Who and/or what is thinking the thoughts before I consciously think those thoughts? Do "I" even have freewill to even think these thoughts "I" am thinking about thoughts and type these thoughts to you here on this internet? Modern science also claims we have at least 3 brains: The early or reptilian brain, the mid brain, and the later more developed brain. So, are early parts of the brain thinking thoughts before the later parts of the brain consciously think those thoughts? If reptiles can think thoughts, then couldn't the early part of our brain think thoughts, and somehow pass those thoughts on to later more developed parts of later brains? Is our 'inner self' really just our reptilian brain thinking the thoughts that we think we are thinking? Are we all just later more evolved reptiles? Who don't even consciously think our own thoughts? If not, then how exactly does the brain think thoughts? Where exactly do thoughts originally come from so our brain can consciously think those thoughts? So "I" am thinking about thoughts, if it is even "I" thinking the thoughts that "I" believe "I" am thinking about thoughts. Or so "I" currently think, here again, if it is even "I" doing the thinking. "My" thinking is imploding as "I" think about thoughts. But then again, is it even 'me' that is imploding? I will have to think about it some more. Poof, I'm gone. Is just energy interacting with itself the lowest form of sub-consciousness? Is it even consciousness itself?

Consider the following: Un-named concepts -> Given a name (could be a sound, symbol, etc) -> With an attached meaning -> And maybe even other meanings depending upon context -> And maybe even other names with the same meaning. (Basically a Dictionary and a Thesaurus for a language). We utilize language to think thoughts and for communication with others. But now: 1. How do we know for 100% certainty we have all the un-named concepts that could ever be named? 2. How do we know for 100% certainty that the meanings we give names are 100% correct? 'The Great Unknown', we truly do not know what we do not know. And we will probably never know everything that could ever be known, but even that we do not know for 100% certainty. One of the reasons out of many for getting out of bed, 'The Great Unknown'. Never stop learning.

Serious concern for 'Bob' (and others): Certain solar flares and CME's can negatively affect GPS. If 'Bob' can only navigate with GPS, and he is doing anything like driving, and GPS goes out, then what for 'Bob' and those around 'Bob'?

@FloridaMan7337 Tumors in the body and brain can occur without utilizing GPS navigation.

@mrliam303 What does that have to do with my original post?

With all due respects to your beliefs, consider this following copy and paste from my files: GOD DOES NOT ACTUALLY EXIST EXCEPT FOR AS A CONCEPT: For those who claim God actually exists (besides as a concept), consider the following: a. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness truly existing. b. An actual eternally existent absolute somethingness that has consciousness, memories and thoughts truly existing. People who claim God actually and eternally exists basically are claiming that 'b' above is correct but yet simultaneously seem to be saying that 'a' is impossible to occur. 'a' above can exist without 'b' existing but 'b' cannot exist unless 'a' exists. Even per the scientific principal of Occam's razor, 'a' is more probable of being really true rather than 'b'. I am one step away from proving God's existence, but am unable to find any actual evidence to do so. And nobody I've talked to seems to have any actual evidence of God's actual existence either. All humans appear to have are 'Theories of God'. Some humans appear to go their whole life basing their life upon their specific theory of God. They even at times kill other humans based upon their own theories. Many give their God human characteristics and cannot even prove the existence of their God much less the characteristics given to their God. Some have circumstantial arguments for a God's existence, but others have circumstantial arguments for no God existing. Not one has any actual factual evidence that their God actually factually even exists. Hence, at this time in the analysis, God does not actually exist except for as a concept created by humans for humans. Humans have personified Nature and called that personification "God". It appears many of them are delusional and are believing in fairy tales as if those fairy tales were really true. Instead of what is claimed "God creating man in God's image", it's more likely that "Man created God in Man's image". Further consider that if the emotional parts of the brain override the logic and reasoning parts of the brain, people can be made to believe basically anything at all as being really true. Plus modern science has already proven that humans can have visual and audio hallucinations that are very real to that individual. All the more reason for critical thinking being needed and to follow the facts wherever those facts might lead. In addition, while modern science does not know what consciousness actually is yet, memories and thoughts appear to require a physical correctly functioning brain to have those items occur. Where is God's brain? Where are God's memories stored at? How are God's memories stored and retrieved? How does God think even a single coherent thought? If inside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where? If outside of this space time dimension we appear are existing in, then where is the interface between that dimension and this dimension? No such interface has been discovered as of yet as far as I am currently aware of. * Note: Since this is a search for the real absolute truth concerning God, Intelligent Designer, Pre-existent Consciousness, etc, feel free to copy and paste this elsewhere to further the analysis and discussion. * For those who claim God actually exists besides just as a concept, please prove that 'b' above is really true and that 'a' is not really true.

a. Modern science claims energy cannot be created nor destroyed, hence energy is eternally existent. b. An absolute somethingness cannot come from an absolute nothingness, so an absolute somethingness always existed, most probably being energy itself. c. Universe ALWAYS existed in some form and NEVER had a beginning, No Creator Needed.

Current Analysis: Long Term: (Short Version): * Species stay on this Earth: They all eventually die and go extinct. * Species leave this Earth: They all eventually die and go extinct. (No exceptions at this time). 1. Everybody will die one day from something. 2. Everybody will forget everything they ever knew and experienced. 3. Everybody will be forgotten one day in future eternity as if they never ever existed at all in the first place. (OSICA) * Life itself only matters to life itself, only as long as life itself still exists. It's just that life itself is not always going to exist, at least not from this Earth. (Or so the current analysis would indicate).

@zeemazm 1. You can prove that 'b' above in the God analysis is really true and that 'a' is not really true? 2. How exactly do you know for 100% certainty that God is a male?

@zeemazm a. "God has no gender, not eat, not sleep and he is one." If God has no gender, then why do you call God 'he'? b. As far as the rest of your post, it sounds like you have been brainwashed well. Ask yourself, do you believe what you believe because it's really true, or do you believe what you believe because it's what you were taught to believe is really true? Maybe even punished if you questioned those beliefs. Force and fear are powerful motivators but it does not automatically mean that those who are forcing and generating fear in others are correct in absolute truth reality. They are only forcing their beliefs upon others. Don't you get it?

@zeemazm "because leader is always a male." ROFLMAO. Now I know you are either deluded, brainwashed, or misinformed. Many nations have female leaders. In fact also, once Biden steps down, (probably on or around mid-term), a female will become the first ever female United States President in charge of the world's largest military and having access to USA's nukes 24/7. Why cannot you and people who believe like you do deal with real reality?
