Forest God
This project about how we all have our own meaning into what is real to the forest. But what we don't know is that the forest is like a god of all-natural. Forest has some kind of way of showing us what is the true meaning to be part of the natural. The natural had some or a chance to let us as the people to experience and explorer what is beyond the beauty of the forest. There are so many pieces that lead us to explore the forest feeling. For example, when the moment we walk or take that step into the forest we can feel, smell, and touch. But all of sudden our mind starts to tumble through all the mixed feelings that lead to us seeing how amazing the natural. With that amazing feeling climb to our mindset, it will allow us to open our eyes to see the greenery, brownest, and much more of the forest energy vide.

Doctor Who: Is The Doctor Inside a Parallel World - Theories & Evidence
Whilst Doctor Who has never been shy of controversy and ever-expanding plots which baffle even the most loyal of viewers, a lot of fans have been taking to the internet recently to express one core theory they feel explains what has been a rather ambitious couple of series. With Jodie Whitakers first full-length episode debuting in 2018, fans were quite excited to see the actress bring the character into a new age, but things for the Doctor were a little bit different. Hurtling to Earth at an unfathomable speed as she watches the TARDIS burn up above her, the Doctor's crash-landing into the train below left many fans immediately gripped, and in some ways, immediately sidetracked from the core question: Why did the TARDIS crash and burn?

Field Repairs
‘How’s it going down there?’ Sarah gave a distracted grunt, but otherwise ignored the question that came from her comm unit, focusing instead on the mess of circuitry and pipes in front of her. There was definitely some rewiring that needed to be done, but the positioning of the circuit board would make it awkward. This was because if an antimatter processing unit of this size broke down, you were supposed to replace it entirely. You certainly weren’t supposed to attempt field repairs with any part of the ship still powered up. The stickers on the unit didn’t warn you about voiding your warranty; they had a to-scale illustration detailing just how large an explosion you could cause.

A.Y.E's Universal Alliance Program
Our Current Situation We’re just about two months into our discovery of the worldwide Coronavirus Outbreak. As a united planet we have taken this surprise blow rather well maintaining peace in most areas and collectively coming together to support one another in this unusual time of change. Considering what we’ve been through I’m sure we will come out of this as a global community a trillion times stronger and more capable. This Virus got me to thinking about the Babylonian epic of Atrahasis and the great flood, which played quite a big role in influencing me to write the screenplay and story for the Under-Water City, the second addition to the Universal Alliance Trilogy (The first installment being Outer-Space). This brought on the thought, “Would this virus be able to spread like this underwater? Could a disease like this infect fish in the ocean like it’s affecting humans on Earth right now?” My immediate answer was, of course not. Still there is the question. “How can we support human life underwater?” Well, we can start with developing a more advanced air filtering masks to protect us from the spread of COVID-19. You see, every great era has its natural happening that causes a great reset, restoration or awakening that will churn the cosmos in its endless process of expansion. Every year countries around the world have these rinsing periods of change that are handled in infinite different ways. The two most common reactions from the public are one; panic and the spread of fear, anxiety, judgement and hate or two; the spread of peace, love and hope while creating munificent solutions that will benefit all life and help unite us to grow stronger as a global family. Normally its quite a balanced amount of both hopefully with the ladder tipping the scale to its side ever so slightly. An event that happened rather recently and caused one of these great restorations is Hurricane Harvey. A devastating natural disaster that tried to bring Houstonians to our knees but instead we came together to face it and created stronger bonds than ever before to rebuild our city. I remember working at Top Golf at the time, we filled up trucks with food and other things that we gave away to feed and support people that had lost a lot during the storm (sometimes even including the loss of their homes) to do our part to tip the scale in favor of the ladder. Then of course we can look to Hurricane Katrina where New Orleans was faced with another extreme natural disaster causing them to unite with each other to survive even going as far as transforming the Super dome (which is normally used for sporting events) into their temporary safe haven lifting many people out of despair. There are endless examples of these naturally occurring warnings from mother nature that work to signify that change is needed in our species to continue living a blissful life on this planet like; the extreme hastening of climate change, loss of biodiversity major sandstorms, droughts in Africa, tsunamis in Asia, blizzards in regions like Antarctica and Alaska or even avalanches and volcanic eruptions in certain mountainous regions these are all signs of this. We’ve received warnings like this from Mother Earth going back in time further than the era of Astrahasis and they've been occurring even before the extinction of Dinosaurs and will continue far after we have dealt with Covid-19. However, there is a significant similarity between these occurrences that if we understand can and will help us take care of Covid-19 more effectively while also propelling us to build a better future for ourselves on all fronts that will leave us better prepared for whatever the world decides to throw our way next to ensure our eternal advancement. I will first explain the connection of these occurrences, then go on to branching them together with the notion that now is the time to accept that further oceanic/astronomic research and studies are paramount in the advancement of all life in the universe. I’ll even explain how these new discoveries are not only required for our survival as a species but also desired by the masses by spotlighting certain trends that have been consistently favored in our entertainment and art industry. Finally, I’ll explain how these masks that will prevent this disease from continuing its rapid spread can be the force that tips the scale yet again in favor of faith, love and creation.

Dreamstate
I opened my eyes slowly. The harsh sunlight surrounded me, and I squinted through the unkind light. I groaned and rolled on to my side, relishing the warm, fuzzy blankets wrapped around me. I knew that the light from my window wouldn’t permit me to sleep any longer, so I sat up begrudgingly. My head throbbed. It felt as if a 500 pound weight had been placed on my head. Everything hurt almost as if I had been thrashed around in a tank full of water for hours on end. Ignoring the pain, I swung my legs over the side of the bed. I felt around for my slippers on the floor, but I couldn’t find them.

Every Star Wars Movie And Series Coming To The Galaxy Far, Far Away
It's a wide ol' cosmos out there and Disney's ever-growing Star Wars franchise has proved there's plenty more to explore. From the heady days of George Lucas' original trilogy to his maligned prequels, the concluding trilogy of Skywalker Saga movies to the mixed-bag of Solo: A Star Wars Story, that galaxy far, far away is more popular than ever.

So Goes the End of Everything
Earth is succumbing to famine due to blight and drought resulting from climate change, the depletion of resources, and overpopulation. A global pandemic is wiping out less-developed nations. In the United States, the vulnerable poor, working poor, and lower middle class, especially the elderly, are dying from a lack of access to affordable, quality healthcare. Amidst all of this, political conservatives, convinced they are living in the end-times, are stunned when members of a cult that worships the late author, Kurt Vonnegut, vanish without a trace.

Weekly Horoscopes (April 23 to 30th)
Since we are in Taurus Season, it will be my honor to start off with the Earth Warriors (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and what’s to come for you the rest of this week/month. A lot of you will start to feel this pull to just stop obsessing over career and how other people feel about you and just start doing you more unapologetically. Realizing that you are not the center of the galaxy and that the world doesn’t revolve around you will surprisingly lead to a huge load being lifted off your shoulders and it is in that energy space where you will create and do wonderful things, simply because you want to make yourself happy, and not just others!

Review of 'Star Trek: Discovery 2'
I endeavored in my reviews of Star Trek: Picard and the first season of Discovery to keep them free of specific spoilers. But it is not possible to review the tour de force that is the second season of Discovery without them, so expect plenty of spoilers in what follows.

What happened to Rose?
My little sister, Rose, is not what one would normally expect from a younger sibling. Younger siblings are people you love unconditionally, but are still super annoying. Anyone who has siblings will be able to attest to the weirdness that is the sibling dynamic. Rose is not like that at all. It was like she exited the womb as an angel. She hardly ever cried as a baby, she slept through the night, and immediately fell in love with every person she met. My parents and I were terrified what the terrible twos would bring, as I had been a bit of a hellion when I was younger. However, she remained sweet and loving. When she turned 7 years old, she seemed even more unnaturally adorable than before. She has long, wavy, copper colored hair that many women would die for. Her eyes are the sharpest green I have ever seen. She wouldn't have hurt a fly if her life depended on it.

Review of 'Star Trek: Discovery 1'
One of my favorite lines in any movie or television show is Jake Houseman (played by the inimitable Jerry Orbach) lamely apologizing to Johnny in Dirty Dancing -- "when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong". That's what I have to say about not watching Star Trek: Discovery until the past few days. I wasn't in the mood for another Star Trek series, I didn't like paying for or even just watching yet another streaming service. But I was wrong.
