Moon excluded - it is now considered a territory of a certain country on the Earth. However, no one has officially acquired any other planet.

My views on Mars are the following:

• it is a planet very similar to Earth, yet much less rich in resources than our planet

• it has been made in such an almost-to-use-but-not-enough state deliberately

By whom?

By the same designers who created the Earth and the rest of the solar system. Yes, I don't know what you think, however there are really many evidences which imply that our solar system is designed - i.e. a product of an intelligence, not just blind physics laws.

Was anyone interested in the origin of all life on Earth, in particular the homo sapiens specie? The evolution theory (i.e. that material life is a mechanism which has built-in functions to change or mutate, no matter what the ultimate reason is) is very new, it has been officially accepted by the educational organizations about just 2 centuries ago. Before this of course people for centuries thought that, using today's terms, life has the extra-terrestial origin and is not, by any means, limited to the planet Earth.

I realized how important any answers to this single question are. Having even multiple, not just one, "hypothesis" might give a groundbreaking suggestions to better understand reincarnation, life after death, and obviously OBE experiences.

When a topic is vast - and the esoteric research actually touches every side of life, although typically in an indirect, metaphysical way - it is difficult to have a common basis. This is something that many people interested in this field encounter. There are certain assumptions, personal criteria, preferences, weighs that we apply e.g. to certain experiences (to some - higher, to some - lower, often without a clear reason), and experiences that people had building the personal, subjective view and thus approach to treating the mysterious things which lurk often far beyond the scientists' ability to conduct a valuable research. A physician, for instance, feels comfortable when they have a very limited environment and is able to measure every single detail they already know about. This is an old, ancient in fact, problem which I'd sum up with this: how to research the unknown.

You cannot do this…

I just wanted to make this post after learning of his passing. Frank made a amazing post on his life and work:

RIP Robert, the world has lost a great teacher, and an amazing human being.

I first heard about Robert’s work almost 20 years ago in 2005. In my early teens I started experiencing various lucid dreams and 1111 synchronicities as many others have. This led to a life time of fascination with astral projection and spirituality. Robert’s work was always there to help guide me and give me insight. This was during the height of the internet spiritual forum period. Where forus/BB boards were a major source of knowledge for individuals instead of Reddit and Facebook/discord. I would listen to his podcasts on various sites, the coast to coast shows, and interviews.

It was in early 2020 that I had the opportunity to speak with him on…
