If This Is True, The World's About to Get Infinitely Better

avatar
(Edited)

Imagine someone told you that we have the technology and means to solve the entire world’s energy needs. Now imagine this technology is extremely clean and infinite in abundance and has existed for close to one hundred years but has been allegedly suppressed by extremely powerful corporations who are raking in trillions of dollars by maintaining the status quo of the world’s energy grid and methods by which we move (transportation).

Supposedly, several independent inventors in the past century (like Nikola Tesla) have stumbled upon these technologies and have built perfectly functioning models. But, time and time again their inventions have been suppressed by various nefarious methods and means. As the story goes, corporations have played on individual's greed and their various patents have been purchased then, “black shelved” by those same corporations, families have been threatened, and according to the stories even wet work has occurred. If you're unfamiliar with the term, wet work...it ain't good.

Sounds like some nightmarish dystopian science fiction, right?

Well, this is exactly what is being proposed in the documentary, The Lost Century: And How to Reclaim It. Although these concepts probably seems far-fetched to a lot of people, I’ve followed Dr. Steven Greer’s career for years now and do believe he’s the real deal. Hive is one of the only platforms that I feel comfortable sharing this information on, just because of the general open-mindedness of most of the community here.


"Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine." ~Nikola Tesla


Dr. Greer is actively seeking independent inventors to sell him their patent(s) for these zero point energy devices and he plans on open sourcing the blueprints and plans for these devices for free on the internet for anyone to replicate. So, time will indeed tell. If this is all true we’re going to see the beginnings of an unprecedented transformation in the coming years.

I urge you to watch this before it’s taken down from YouTube. It’s certainly given me a little more hope than I had before. Even if you're skeptical this is worth a watch. As Tesla said, let the future tell the truth.

All for now. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Thank you for reading!

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.

Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.

Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.

These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.

I think similar. Before the energy sources in the world have been exploited, they won't let Tesla-like people come up with free energy inventions. Well, if only we have a habitable earth after all.

Very interesting indeed. Kind of reminds me of the movie Chain Reaction. The energy companies will go to many lengths to maintain their power.

I haven't seen Chain Reaction but it sounds very similar. The thing about a lot of these zero point energy inventions is the inventors claim they're just mimicking and adapting processes that occur already in nature. If it's true these corporations have been holding the planet and all its inhabitants hostage for a century, all in the name of the almighty dollar.

It was a good movie with Keanau Reeves. The Saint with Val Kilmer had some similar themes too. I've been following small modular nuclear reactors for a while, but this would be even next level beyond that!

It's fascinating to think about. There are plenty of eye witnesses that claim Tesla had a modified car that ran on nothing but a small box of electronics. But it's difficult to discern truth from reality even in today's events. When you add a century to the equation things get even more murky. It's so much fun to think about the possibilities of this though. They mentioned that in the future all appliances and devices will have small, self contained zero point energy generators inside of them that will power them indefinitely.

I usually don't let that kind of thing bother me. It really helps me to consider the lens that some people see the world through. I think healthy debates can be good for all parties sometimes. All I'm saying is it's good to consider possibilities because this stuff is showing up in too many independent places, and has for decade upon decade, for their not to be some kernel of truth (maybe more than a kernel). Yes, under the current system engineered/planned obsolescence would have to continue to get people to keep buying and the revenue flowing. It might get to the point where we only buy the "plans" to a appliance and that appliance is printed/assembled on sight. As tech evolves I see it leaning more in this direction. I think every household will have a 3D printer.

I wouldn't sell anything to Dr. Greer. A central point, is a central point of failure.

Is that Joe Biden in those speeches to America? Many say it is not.

Is that Dr. Greer you are sending your patents to?
TPTshouldn'tB are not above offing him and replacing him with someone who will memory hole these patents.

And anyone who knew anything about patents would NEVER, EVER, EVER suggest someone patent a tesla device.

There are two problems, that are killer:
Everything you learned in science class is wrong.
Tesla's inventions are really, really simple. Anyone with eyes can see how they work. It is only a matter of time till more people open their eyes.

I will write a blog on this, again, and publish it today.

I see your point but how are these devices meant to be spread across the world and put into the hands of mainstream society? It seems like open sourcing the plans would make sense. They seem like fairly simple, solid state devices that magnify Earth's natural energy. I'm looking forward to reading your post!

Reach is hard. Especially for the type that thinks of building things.

But, you can publish your plans here on HIVE. And it is hard to remove.
But it is doable.

Create a burner account on X, and then post it, then get others to retweet it.
Publish everything about how to build the thing.

Think about it like you won't be alive tomorrow.

Free-energy has to be free. If you try to hold back, so you can make bank, it will fail.

There are "safer" ways to share this then. I sometimes feel that our negative emotions/attributes like fear and greed are our greatest barriers to getting to the next level(s) of our evolution. It will take a whole lot of courage for inventors to release something like this but I imagine when it happens the process will work something like how Satashi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin white paper. This actually makes me appreciate cryptocurrency even more. Once the barriers are hurdled and an idea is out into the world it takes on a life of its own.

Indeed.

Inventors have to walk a thin line between not telling anyone (which ends in the idea dying with them) or telling everyone (which means it is no longer their idea).

And the meta right now is think of an invention and get rich.
Although this has rarely happened, it is the narrative in movies.

You see, for most ideas, say for a toy.
You have to make the plans
get the molds made, send them to China
pay to have a million parts made
go around to all the store's buyers, and they hate talking to little people with only one product.
Get the buyers to buy your toys.
Get them into the stores before Christmas.
Become an instant, over night success.

This process costs more than a house, and usually takes more than 3 years.
And, at any point along there, someone can have an identical item made in China, and with their better connections, have them in stores before you. In fact, it is typical Chinese, to make extra, in your mold, and sell them locally.

We need money to live, and that vision of getting that money is a strong pull.
But, Satoshi was correct. In order for it to succeed, the inventor has to almost disappear.

Bitcoin truly is the rough blueprint necessary to bust through most of the corporate governmental/corruption in our world. In that aspect it’s infinitely more valuable than most people realize. It just needs to be applied to other industries and segments of our economy.

Watched a dozen minutes of this video and there have been too many LIES already to consume my time going through it, just to comment.

All the "science" they spout is wrong. And thus, if you try to use that as a starting point, you fail.

Greer… i would not trust Greer with anything. Especially my life. Someone who lies that much, even if he means well, or if, and especially if he is ignorant and naive, is not to be trusted with your life.

I guess time will tell if this project of Dr. Greer's to harvest a zero point energy device and open source it becomes a reality or not. I can't speak to wether or not the science the documentary presents is correct or not. Half a century on Earth has taught me that, most times the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. I believe climate change is both a natural cycle and that natural cycle is being accelerated by human intervention. I suppose this is a good example of the age we live in, there's so much contradictory information out there it's very difficult to tell the truth from the lies. At the same time I think we have to be very mindful not to get to the point where we don't trust anything. That old Russian proverb --- "Trust, but verify" seems to be tailor made for our time. I can understand what you say about being hesitant to speak up if I was an inventor. It hasn't worked out so well for people who've done this in the past.

It is so sad that corporate conspiracy has stopped the development and implementation of clean energy solutions all over the world. And I am very shocked to learn that people like Nikola Tesla faced suppression when they tried to go against the tides. I will watch the documentary and get a better grasp of what Dr. Greer is trying to do. But my question is, will he win this war? Won't he be eliminated like we see in movies?

I admit I'm a skeptic on almost all conspiracy theories. They usually appeal to plausibility and to our anger at some group (usually the upper class) but fall apart when we start to examine the actual facts of the matter. That said, I am open to anything, so I'll give it a watch.

Regardless of anything else, I think things are compounding in such a way that no one will be able to prevent free or cheap energy in the near future. Well, unless they blow us all up. The great reset, I think that particular conspiracy theory is called. Giving all this technology away for free on the internet is one of these things no one will be able to prevent. I was reading the other day that a new generation of 3d printers is being developed that uses a liquid metal instead of plastic in a way that it is both safe (somehow) and works as well as the current ones. Wow. If that story is even a little true, think of what a revolution that will cause?

Anyway, I'll go watch now.

I was much more of a skeptic until these past few years. I've watched many things I thought were conspiracy theories turn out to have some validity. I'm still super cautious about what I choose to believe but have to admit I like these exotic tech theories, they're a guilty pleasure...maybe because I like writing science fiction.

I'm of the same opinion about how, if this is all true, there will be no keeping it from the public. I envision wave after wave of "Satashi Nakamoto" like characters who divulge any and all secrets that are being hoarded. Bitcoin provides the blueprint. Evolution is a natural process, the universe wants to live and to evolve, and there is no way to pause this process forever.

That was a joke hinting at the idea of an amateur trying to build plans they found on the internet that could power the entire world without wires. Flips the switch and accidentally overloads the power grid causing worldwide blackouts, or causes a disturbance similar to a geomagnetic storm. Both have the potential to damage electronics and this outcome can already be observed in nature. Could it happen? Yeah. Will it happen? Probably not.

Hello, @ericvancewalton

The greed of a small group inhibits the success of altruistic souls to share knowledge capable of doing good for the majority without exploiting them in the process.

I hope that soon, there will be an elevation of consciousness and the ability to override those black souls who are bent on preventing, with their selfishness, progress, and benefit for all mankind.

Happy weekend to you too.

I have not yet seen the documentary you suggest, but what you say is quite significant. Some governments are not interested in getting out of the current energy patterns, especially because we are talking about a lot of money and power at stake. In Venezuela, for example, it is known that the Russian and Chinese governments are shamelessly exploiting, with the consent of the government, the mineral deposits in the country, without caring about the destruction of the fauna of the area, the flora and the diseases they are producing. The indigenous people themselves have come out to protest and the government has no ears for their claims. They talk about gold, diamonds and Coltan. They are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs in a ruthless way and only for greed. Hugs, my friend

I watched the full documentary. I recall seeing snippets of this previously. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen some articles/videos/news about low input, high output energy devices previously, and as quick as it comes, it disappears again.

I can believe how some nefarious forces would want to burry some gold so they can hold onto their diamonds.

Greed, money and power, the latter becoming the main driving force, is truly a force that is destroying humanity, and the beautiful planet.

Thanks for the share

Thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, you hear nothing about exotic tech in the MSM anymore, it's been effectively discounted as "impossible" or "a conspiracy theory". The truth is the average person probably couldn't care less about this kind of thing, they're just busy trying to survive and living their lives. It hasn't always been this way. I remember seeing a local news story in the 1980's in Columbus, Ohio about the man who created the car that ran on water. They actually showed him driving the car on the news. This is the man they're talking about in the documentary above. He was allegedly poisoned in a Cracker Barrel restaurant shortly after the news story aired and later died.

I'm glad you posted the documentary giving your readers the opportunity to either open their mind to new possibilities or reject the whole thing. "Free" energy is a huge issue for those who love the current system and are monetizing left, right and center. Raising awareness for this topic is essential though. And as you pointed out by using Tesla's words - the future will tell us the truth.

Thanks, Kris. Quite a bit of the framework of our current society will need to be dismantled before something like zero point energy will be possible.

I do believe a lot of tech has been repressed. Why I think this is technological evolution doesn't stop, slow down or even grow slowly, it speeds up exponentially over time. One of the only fields I can see any kind of true exponential growth in our modern world is computing. Main frames with very little compute power used to take up entire floors of buildings, now we have more computing power in our phones than these humungous mainframes from the 60's/70's had. This is the kind of leaps we should have been seeing across the board, especially with the help of modern supercomputers.

If you look at space travel, energy, and transportation, significant development has grown at a snail's pace (at best) since the 1960's. Just small, incremental improvements in all those years. I think this is the biggest red flag of them all.

I think this podcast explains a snippet of what is happening. The entire 3+hr podcast is very thought-provoking (JRE Ep #1945)

Independent media is forcing some cracks in the facade but we still have a long way to go.

Oh yes Eric! I'm so with you on all of the above. And the video is absolutely on point. Purging the physics community (among other communities); looking beyond the "space-time concept" and the speed of light being the end of all + questioning the framework of singularity opens up some really deep conversations. I mean look the at Nobel prize winners who're still heavily Newtonian physics indoctrinated; that says it all.

Obviously this type of knowledge about energy has been repressed. We're talking power, control and money here. Look at petrol, it controls all major industries including food and pharmaceuticals. You wanna dismantle that? Indeed, if you look closely you see cracks in the facade. Btw, Billy Carson is doing quite a bit of research on the topic of zero point energy. He is known for his in-depth knowledge about ancient civilizations esp. Egypt and deep space / UFOs. A well rounded individual who manages to bring across highly sophisticated topics so that avg. Joe & Jill understand them. We need more of that as most don't understand the academic / physics lingo Joe Rogan's guests use.

It's definitely interesting and gets more so as the documentary progresses. I agree, everyone needs to mobilize and actively participate, especially in government. Society, in general, has been distracted for way too long and this has allowed corruption to take root at a global level and grow to the point it's at today.

We're finally warming up, unseasonably so! We've been 15-20 degrees above average for the past week or so and there's no end to it. Just a few more degrees and it'll be time to get the bikes out. I hope you're enjoying your weekend too! Yours is just about over.

This is why it's better to just dump the stuff on the internet without trying to make a direct profit from it (at least at the start). The moment you try to monitize it, they destroy your reputation, or "off" you.

I remember reading about PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), and how it was considered munitions back in the 90s if exported as software.

The inventor Phil Zimmerman, found a novel way to export PGP in the form of a book, which was protected from censorship. Or the way Satoshi (whoever "he" or "they" were)released Bitcoin, and then vanished into the ether.

I'm glad to see such thinking continue.

For me, it's not a question of "if this is true!?!"
My question is, how to remove (for good) from the current system, situation, and equation those greedy, human, and world-killing ones in charge and power that were suppressing and hiding all of it for decades, mercilessly as if their descendants wouldn't have to live in such destroyed and poisoned world. But, apparently, they don't care! Even "better," those FEW (or WEF /read the letters in the order you wish/ and the company) are planning how to rob and demoralize us even more and, if possible, even completely numb us for their plans of global enslavement.

People are slowly waking up, but in my opinion, it is still too slow.
Unfortunately, despite the Internet and the information available all around the globe, the vast majority are still uneducated or at least uneducated enough. The worst part is that even those holding any type of diploma are actually quite ignorant, simply because they have been taught to follow the rules and obey (or there would be high penalty consequences).
In other words, critical thinking, and not to mention thinking out of the box, was suppressed and sometimes even punished (as many examples in the documentary), or in "best" case scenarios, channelized and guided for the wrong purposes at the end.

In short, we are unfortunately living in a world run, ruled, shaped, and guided by FEAR! (No matter how they would name, rename, shape, and reshape the threat that is causing that fear, smaller or bigger.)
By nature, people are paralyzed by fear.
The fun fact is that the most repeated phrase in the Bible (that occurs more often than even God's or Jesus's name) is, "Don't be afraid!"

However, in such a frightened state (fear for life, existence, ... - wars, extremists /no matter if they are political, religious, or drug "cartels"/, migration crisis, losing position, job, house, family, putting food on the table tomorrow, etc.), with information on disposal but at the same time oversaturated with it to the extent that people can't clearly see and distinguish (from that huge informational noise) what's right and what's wrong, or what's true and what's deception. And even when they do, many would still do nothing, again being blocked by some fear.

Despite all the above, I'm still optimistic, as I believe that there is enough good in each and all of us to overcome all of that! But first, we would need to get rid of fear (to disarm the enemy), then we would need to stop comparing and competing among ourselves and instead learn to be, preach, and teach (our children) how to support and help grow one another to achieve unity for a common goal of a whole better world.

I agree, there is an awakening. So many people "feel" the truth even if they don't know the intricate details of what is going on. I think that general "feeling" instead of direct knowledge causes people to move a little more slowly than they otherwise would. It's easier to explain that feeling away but we shouldn't. Intuition should always be followed or at least listened to.

I believe we still have a small window of time to turn things around. CBDCs, if implemented, will make things infinitely more difficult.

I agree with you regarding "general feeling" instead of direct knowledge that slows us down.

When it comes to CBDC's possible implementation, from my point of view, if it happened, it would be the beginning of total disaster. I'm just not sure that people are aware of it. They are packing the whole story in such shiny, colorful, and attractive packages (and they are going to pack it even better), counting on people's commotion, laziness, superficiality, and ignorance that an average Joe would think he would actually gain something with it. The day when this average Joe would wake up finally, realizing he is actually living in some sort of China's social credit system (or whatever they call it), entirely controlled (with or without the money that even has an expiration date) might be too late.

We have a funny expression here (that would probably lose much of its true meaning in translation) that goes, "It has never been that it wasn't somehow, so it would never be that it wouldn't be somehow." 😀 - Meaning, even in the hardest and most odd and awkward times and situations, people found the way (or were forced to find it).

In that sense, and after the fear, the other thing that is not working in our favor now is a lazy and commotional overall mentality.

  • Many people don't know how to do things with their bare hands, even if it's something easiest and simplest. They are forced to hire someone.
  • We are present on all sorts of social media (all over), but we don't know who our next-door neighbors are. We never properly talk to them, even less drink a coffee together, even if that neighbor is the most sincere and friendly one.
  • Many young people today (quite spoiled in all sorts of ways) basically expect something for nothing. With a mobile phone in their hands (through online social activity, because of a couple of "successful influencers," gaming, or whatever similar else) they plan and expect to make (an easy) living.
  • etc.

I have relatives (three families in separate apartments in a bigger house) living together in a semi-mutual household. They have quite a big yard with an orchard around the house where mostly different old sorts of apple trees are planted, a couple of plum and pear trees, and a rear high-quality cherry tree with large fruits. All they have to do is pick the fruit when it is ripe. But they never do that. They go and buy it on the market. - Insane! - And the "best part" is that one of the men in the house is a professional gardener.
That's how we are living today. That's one of the types of lazy and commotional overall mentality I was talking about.

I think they will try their best to implement CBDCs and, unfortunately, probably will eventually get their way. I think BTC and ETH will be allowed to remain legal but they will frown upon self-custody, Defi, and most alts will be banned from developed countries. Their biggest fear is a massive transfer of wealth to another "class" of individuals who think differently than the establishment.

You are so right about everything you're saying. Tough times build strong men/women. Self-resilience is mostly forced on society's through difficult times/struggles. In most parts of the developed world a majority of people haven't needed to possess this kind of self-resilience for decades. My Dad grew up shortly after the Depression and his family was really poor. He did EVERYTHING himself -- home remodeling, working on his car, woodworking. Oftentimes he would just figure it out as he went. My brother and I absorbed some of this. I think it's important not to fear jumping in and learning something new, breaking down that mental barrier. Most people would be amazed at what they're capable of if they try.

Can't agree more with you! 😀

I especially like these two...
