  A Journey in Other Worlds: A Romance of the Future - Chapter VIII
The orbits of some are circular, and of others elliptical, as those of comets, and some revolve about each other, or, as we have seen, about a common point while they perform their celestial journey.
Others can give their enemies or their prey an electric shock, sending a bolt through the heart, or can paralyze the mind physically by an effort of their wills, causing the brain to decompose while the victim is still alive.

Venus's axis is inclined to the plane of her orbit seventy-five degrees, so that the arctic circle comes within fifteen degrees of the equator, and the tropics also extend to latitude seventy-five degrees, or within fifteen degrees of the poles, producing great extremes of heat and cold.
Straightening the axis is simple enough, for we have the attraction of the sun with which to work, and we have but to increase it at one end while decreasing it at the other, and change this as the poles change their inclination towards the sun, to bring it about.

There's MTV nostalgia, pure and simple--"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," with its mimed quayside performance and strutting high-heeled model, is perhaps the quintessential "What were they thinking?" video.
Could've used some other songs and/or videos I particularly enjoyed, such as 'Chain Reaction' and 'Lovin' You Is Easy'; however, it's got a good mix of music videos and live shows.
Other than that - song choice is phenomenal, you really get to feel how Journey's sound and vibe, courtesy of its change in vocalist, keyboardist, and drummer, has shaped and re-shaped itself over the many years.

 Dreams - Soul's Journey Into Other Worlds...
I personally feel we have choice, but that dreams like any other tool - and yes, I feel they are a tool which can be learned to help problem solve in the waking world.
I would propose that each dreamer has his/her own dream worlds and can explore, create and travel through their dream worlds learning more about themselves, their past, present and future, if they are open to it.
It would seem there is a connection to focusing the heart and mind to our inner worlds before drifting into them, where dreams then seem to be less disjointed and contain more portent type information that becomes helpful to the dreamer.

 EONS AND WORLDS
This work was done at a time when the exercise of genuine scholarship was difficult, if not impossible, and thus their theological bias impelled the translators to incorporate into their version words which have no warrant in the Greek, hence no counterpart in the thought and truth of the Original.
The English Revisers were under a similar handicap and, as has been said by others, the true translation is not to be found in the text but in the margin.
Thus the reader sees these controversial and much-disputed words as nearly as possible as they are in the Original, hence he has the same facilities as the scholar of Greek for understanding the exact meaning of these terms.

 War of the Worlds (2005) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
And nothing could be more evil than the creatures represented in this film: alien life forms who have plotted the annihilation of the human race for centuries, even going so far as to bury their machines of extermination deep under the earth long before humans ever arrived on the scene.
Although Spielberg’s War of the Worlds won’t create outbreaks of hysteria as Orson Welles’ famous 1938 radio dramatization, one of the film’s strengths is the way it portrays the pandemonium of a military invasion by an alien force.
Again on the verge of another World War on Halloween night, October 30, 1938, CBS radio broadcasted Orson Wells’ dramatization of War of the Worlds and the reaction was incredible.

The “consensus reality” of the masses and their governments can then loom like a kind of enervating perceptual tyranny imposed upon the individual: many sixties seekers wound up dead or in prison because they were unable to wisely integrate this sudden alteration of their understanding.
in these states shamans experience themselves leaving their bodies and journeying to other realms in a manner analogous to contemporary reports of some out-of-body experiences.
In other words, as explained above, the after-death state is very much like a dream state, and its dreams are the children of the mentality of the dreamer.
