BLU-RAY vs DVD What is Blu-ray™ ? Blu-ray™, also known as Blu-ray™ Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format.

The name is a combination of "Blue" (blue-violet laser) and "Ray" (optical ray).

Understanding the Unexplainable Understanding the Unexplainable To understand the unseen world you first need a clear comprehension of the individual make-up of a physical human being. We each arrive here with little to no memory of where we came from. Yet our imaginations give us clues at a very young age. Have you ever dreamed of flying? While in a dream did a place or someone seem familiar or real? These virtual experiences can be hard to shake.As humans we long to soar through the air, like the birds in the sky. There is a subconscious drive to feel fast-physical movement from a very young age. From wagons, amusement rides, bikes and onto fast cars, planes, skydiving and even climbing hills or mountains we long to feel the wind in our faces and not want our feet to touch the ground. Why?In physical form our spirits are confined with the mass of a body. Being in a life form has purpose and I believe we have chosen this journey. Yet, in our subconscious mind we miss the freedom of being limitless which the astral plane provides.An example of this was a scene from the movie Titanic. Picture when Rose, stands with Jack at the bow of the ship with her arms...more
