In the future…

Relying on medicine alone can fall a bit short when it comes to caring for our health. Omitting the spiritual component of humanity’s ailments will become unacceptable as more people become aware that gaining spiritual understanding brings profound change into our lives. Combining spiritual understanding with physical treatment of a condition enables full, permanent healing. Just think of the tremendous financial burden that will be removed from our healthcare systems, and the untold pain, suffering and misery that will be prevented, when we resolve our troubling spiritual issues as they arise. We will be better citizens and better parents, and we will become free of the chronic diseases that sap our resources. Our children’s children’s children will thank us for our bravery.

A sensor will be developed that is capable of measuring the physical effects of our thoughts, attitudes and emotions on our bodies. This will inevitably lead to a deeper understanding that we are all, in fact, connected - not only with each other, but with Source. Each of us is woven into the fabric of the Universe via our silver thread (or data stream - as yet physically undetectable), which is connected to Source. This connection enables communication - two-way communication - that we can use to learn about ourselves and the human condition. We can use it to gain new information about the Universe and its various components and, most importantly, we can begin to see the true nature of the Universal Intelligence.
There is a lot of speculation about the next phase of humanity's development. This will be achieved not by human technological advancements but rather by Universal thought activating an as-yet-unknown segment of our physical DNA to effect the next step of our evolution. This will be in response to an outcry from humanity for assistance.
One day, historians will search the health records of long-dead famous (or infamous) people, looking for their illnesses and cause of death in order to understand how they came to be the person they were

Is there a way to understand what's going on in the world?
(Thanks to AN for this question)

Yes. While there is no easy explanation for what's happening in the world or for humanity and our current spiritual condition, practicing meditation as described in Section 3 and Section 4-1 of my website enables us to get to know ourselves, and to confront our true motivations as well as our flaws. Until we know ourselves, we cannot know others. Until we know others, we cannot understand what's going on in the world. In other words, to understand what's driving people to be so greedy, or mean, or dishonest, or hateful, or any other negative thought pattern, we have to first understand what motivates us personally.

If there were an easy way to do this, it would be plastered all over this website. Since there isn't though, this website shares the process for gaining spiritual enlightenment as taught to me by the universe. If you're interested in following such a path, I will be happy to work with you.

Mummification
There is a lot of speculation about the reasons for the ancient Egyptians' practice of mummifying their deceased. It was recently revealed to me that the process was invented by a certain priest named "Azarat", who lived approximately 12,500 years ago. He was closely associated with RaTa and Hermes.

RaTa had a keen interest in archaeology. Yes, archaeology was a field of study, even that long ago. RaTa was interested in preserving the DNA of those who would, one day, become the ancient ones. The very concept of this was fascinating to him. Yes, DNA was well understood by these highly spiritually attuned individuals. They had the spiritual wisdom and the technological tools with which to effectively, and humanely, manipulate the DNA of those with physical 'disadvantages' to ease their difficulties.

Azarat, on the other hand, had the highest respect for those who had completed a life cycle, and his aim was to honour their contributions to life, because it was "the right thing to do". It was also important to him that they would have a physical presence beyond their spirit having taken wing.

Mummification achieved both men's goals.

The first mummy was the daughter of RaTa and Isris, Iso. As of this writing, her mummy's location has not yet been discovered.
