Rufus O. See Dr. Rufus O. Jimerson’s “Vortex to the Stars, Time, Space, the Matrix, and Other Worlds and Beings� available on July 4th at Amazon.com and Kindle.com for smartphone, i-phone, laptop, and other digital tablet readers. See the attached book cover and image video. The purpose of this book is to examine the observations, biblical scriptures, research, and interpretations of the vortices that are present among us on this planet and within our own aura. These vortices are gateways to the cosmos, time (past and future), many worlds and dimensions, and to advanced extraterrestrial life. The latter is allegedly watching us, intervening and directing us to the fulfillment of our spiritual karma or purpose. In this context, reality is an advanced simulation referred to as a matrix. As in the Greek mythologies, the Gods and Goddesses of Mount Olympus have human favorites and adversaries working “for� and “against� their interest. The root of their mythologies is allegedly among the early Egyptians who learned these stories from the African Dogon tribe. The tribe derived these stories from the Nommo overlords and their spawn, the Anunnaki, dating back hundred-of- thousands of years before the Christian era.
The Sirus Overloards, the Nommos, and their Anunnaki spawn where mining gold and uranium ore, among other precious metals in Africa that was prior to the Last Ice Age and Global Flood unified with Europe, Asia, and Americas as one continent. The natural resources were allegedly used to fuel the Nommos space vehicles being used to search for a planet comparable to their dying home planet in Sirus star system. Earth’s atmosphere proved to be too toxic for a sustained visit or stay as a colony. To extract the needed resources to find that home planet elsewhere they used biogenic-engineering to spawn a hominid with their DNA in what is considered the “Garden of Eden� by early biblical scholars. The first advanced species was called the Anunnaki whose longevity extended for many millenniums. They eventually rebelled against their overlords and where purged into extinction. Biblical scholars would call this insurgency the “Tower of Babel.� The Nommos then biogenically-engineered a lesser form of the Anunnaki, Homo-Sapiens, to follow their instruction precisely, operate advanced machines to extract resources from the mines. These more subservient Anunnaki laborers, modern humankind, were composed of 5 percent of the DNA of the aliens into 95 percent of the hominids genes. Today, microbiology has identified those extraterrestrial genes in all humans. Exo-scientists believed that those alien genes contain our “intellectual design� and memory of our extraterrestrial origin. The Homo-Sapiens with limited lifespans and inundated with reptilian genes form the hominids that retard their quest to infringe on the supreme overlord’s comic domain for millenniums to come. This book looks at empirical research that provides context to what was believed to be merely tales or folk lore shared by all early human cultures but is verifiable today.

message 232: by Michelle (new)

Michelle I'm enjoying Head On. I like that it's a good blend of action and murder-mystery.
I also have Spinning Silver on stand-by. It's a little slow for me to get into.

Saif I'm starting on The last star by Rick Yancey


message 234: by Francisco (new)

Francisco I am rereading the The Fellowship of the Ring. I have read it many times, of course, but I haven't done so in more than 15 years.

No movie, song or book has delighted me more than this book. I still remember the excitement I felt the first time I met Frodo and the wonders of Middle-Earth.

I am enjoying this read so much!

Tony About to start "I Only Killed Him Once" by Adam Christopher. It's hardboiled robot noir where Sci-Fi meets Detective Fiction. I'm sorry this is the last book in the trilogy.

Elon I just finished Within the Sanctuary of Wings by Marie Brennan, the fifth and final part of "The memoirs of Lady Trent" series, and it was amazing. It is now one of my favorite fantasy series and I cannot recomend it enough!
