It was written in 1886 by Frederick S. Oliver
and published Posthumously by his mother in 1905.
This book was one of the most profound things I ever read at age 16 while I was attending the "I AM" School in Santa Fe, New Mexico in my senior year of high school in the 1965-1966 year. I was away from home which was Glendale in the Los Angeles Area and this book profoundly affected my life from then on.
However, it might help to be a Christian or Christian Mystic to fully appreciate it because remember the world was quite different then in Northern California near Mt. Shasta then in 1886. And this book reflects a lot on those times of Jules Verne etc. So, in some ways you are seeing the world through the prism of a completely different time than now.
By the way if you don't have money to buy the book Number (5) below from Great Britain appears to contain the whole book that you can read right here online.

A Dweller on Two Planets:Written in 1886
The Tipping Point:The Evolving Ebola Crisis
There is an article in the latest Time Magazine called "Missing in Action" which is why the World Health Organization failed to stop Ebola.
However, I think it wasn't just WHO I think it was the whole world failing to notice because of Putin, Ukraine, Crimea, Assad, ISIS etc. etc. etc. So, I don't think the whole blame can be put on WHO either. I think the whole world was distracted. Also, if you study the history of previous Ebola outbreaks they were quite small. This time it is possible someone or some government got involved and Genetically mutated the virus to kill thousands to millions which it might be on it's way to right now wherever it goes to that doesn't have a medical science infrastructure in place or doesn't have compulsory scientific education like in the U.S.
So, if it was Genetically engineered as a depopulation device by whoever, whatever WHO might have done wouldn't have worked anyway very likely. We likely would have the same outcome as now. Also, if it were genetically engineered by an individual, company or nation they likely engineered it to do what it is doing and eventually go airborne within a year or two.
However, I thought looking at the numbers progression might be useful to some or all of you so here is the numbers progression to now:
December 2013- 3 deaths and 4 cases
January 2014-10 deaths and 10 cases
February 2014-34 deaths and 39 cases
March 2014-82 deaths and 130 cases
April 2014-158 deaths and 238 cases
May 2014- 224 deaths and 420 cases
June 2014- 467 deaths and 759 cases
July 2014- 826 deaths and 1,440 cases
August 2014- 1818 deaths and 3417 cases
September 2014- 3400 deaths and 7492 cases
October 2014- 4922 deaths and 13,703 cases
Those of you who are mathematicians can do the geometric progression of this disease as it moves forward so if you take these numbers you can do the geometric progression. Whether it is mathematical or not you will get an idea of what might happen within 1 to 5 to 10 years if this progression isn't slowed down.
You basically have the first years progression of registered cases so far. However, many many more died than were registered here. These are the only ones they registered as cases and deaths.
These statistics are from the "Beyond the Stars" issue of Time magazine November 10th 2014.
If I take the July figures and compare them to the October 2014 figures there are approximately 10 times as many cases 4 months later. If this progression holds true every 4 months the number of cases will be 10 times what they were 4 months before. So, given this progression we should be expecting 130,000 cases 4 months from now in January 2015. However, technically this could be mitigated by medical teams and military medical teams being involved from around the world also.
If we take this to April with this same progression it would be 1,300,000 cases and in July 2015 it would be 13,000,000 cases. And by next October 2015 it would be 130,000,000 cases which is more than many countries on earth have as populations and more than the number of people that died in World War II.
Let me continue this progression so you fully see the problem here.
Next January 2016 if this progression holds we have now 1 billion 300 million cases. By the following April we have more cases than everyone presently alive on earth.
Of course that isn't going to happen. But, the 1,300,000,000 might actually happen by a year from January given present progressions of cases if enough isn't done by nations in the next 4 months to prevent it's spread.
And like AIDS we might not be able to stop it spreading. Or it could go airborne in which case almost everyone on earth eventually will be exposed to it sort of like the common cold or flu. In that case about 1/2 of everyone on earth could potentially get Ebola and reduce world populations by 1/3 to 1/2 from what they presently are.

Virgin Galactic spaceship crashes, killing 1 of the pilots: one lived
USA TODAY | - 3 minutes ago |
In
the second commercial space disaster this week, Virgin Galactic's
tourism rocketship exploded and crashed Friday after a malfunction
during a test flight over the Mojave Desert, killing one pilot and
seriously injuring the other.
Virgin Galactic spaceship explodes, killing 1 pilot
Michael Winter and Charisse Jones, USA TODAY
4:53 p.m. EDT October 31, 2014
A witness said the SpaceShipTwo blew up shortly after its engine fired when it was dropped from the WhiteKnight aircraft that carried it aloft, the Associated Press reported. Wreckage was scattered over a wide area near Cantil, in Kern County.
The pilot ejected and was taken to a hospital, but the co-pilot suffered fatal injuries, the Kern County Sheriff's Office reported. Their identities were not immediately released.
Virgin Galactic, owned by British billionaire Richard Branson, said the craft "suffered a serious anomaly resulting in the loss of the vehicle." The malfunction was not immediately identified.
The test flight was conducted by Scaled Composites, Virgin Galactic's partner. The weather was clear, and winds were light at time of the crash, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.
<!--iframe-->
Branson has been developing the suborbital SpaceShipTwo at Mojave Air and Space Port, northeast of Los Angeles.
He said on Twitter he was "flying to Mojave immediately to be with the team."
"Thoughts with all @virgingalactic & Scaled, thanks for all your messages of support," he tweeted.
He told USA TODAY in 2011 that he envisioned Virgin Galactic expanding from suborbital to orbital travel and even flights between continents that could be done in a fraction of the time they take by airplane.
Made of carbon composites, SpaceShipTwo was about twice a large as its prototype predecessor, SpaceShipOne. It was 60 feet long with a cabin diameter of 90 inches, about the size of a Falcon 900 executive jet without a floor. In addition to two pilots, it was designed to carry six passengers.
"The spaceship can be thought of as an air launched glider with a rocket motor and a couple of extra systems for spaceflight," the company says.
Virgin Galactic is owned by Branson's Virgin Group and Aabar Investments PJS of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Seats for future flights cost $250,000, prepaid.
SpaceShipTwo is one of several spacecraft owned by New York-based Virgin Galactic, a unit of privately held Virgin Group. The company also owns the mothership WhiteKnightTwo – which Branson christened Eve, after his mother – and LauncherOne, an orbital launch vehicle.
The loss of SpaceShipTwo comes on the heels of the explosion late Tuesday of an unmanned commercial resupply rocket seconds after liftoff at NASA's facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
70% of U.S. Citizens don't have passports: Ethnocentrism
People in Europe for example, likely would be horrified about this true statement about Americans. This is why Americans, Russians and Chinese people are usually the most ethnocentric in the world.
And it is this same ethnocentrism that gets millions of people killed around the world in World War II and likely in whatever this is going on in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Crimea, Lebanon, Libya and whatever mess happens next:
And it is this same ethnocentrism that gets millions of people killed around the world in World War II and likely in whatever this is going on in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Crimea, Lebanon, Libya and whatever mess happens next:
- Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one's own culture. Ethnocentric individuals judge other groups relative to their own ethnic group or culture, especially with concern for language, behavior, customs, and religion.

Origins of the concept and its study
William G. Sumner coined the term "ethnocentrism" upon observing the tendency for people to differentiate between the in-group and others. He defined it as "the technical name for the view of things in which one's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it."[4] He further characterized it as often leading to pride, vanity, beliefs of one's own group's superiority, and contempt of outsiders.[5] Robert K. Merton comments that Sumner's additional characterization robbed the concept of some analytical power because, Merton argues, centrality and superiority are often correlated, but need to be kept analytically distinct.[4]
Anthropologists such as Franz Boas and Bronislaw Malinowski argued that any human science had to transcend the ethnocentrism of the scientist. Both urged anthropologists to conduct ethnographic fieldwork in order to overcome their ethnocentrism. Boas developed the principle of cultural relativism and Malinowski developed the theory of functionalism as guides for producing non-ethnocentric studies of different cultures. Classic examples of anti-ethnocentric anthropology include Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), Malinowski's The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia (1929), and Ruth Benedict's Patterns of Culture (1934). (Mead and Benedict were two of Boas's students.)
Anthropology
People born into a particular culture that grow up absorbing the values and behaviors of the culture will develop a worldview that considers their culture to be the norm.[6] If people then experience other cultures that have different values and normal behaviors, they will find that the thought patterns appropriate to their birth culture and the meanings their birth culture attaches to behaviors are not appropriate for the new cultures. However, since people are accustomed to their birth culture, it can be difficult for them to see the behaviors of people from a different culture from the viewpoint of that culture rather than from their own.[7]
Examples of ethnocentrism include religiocentric constructs claiming a divine association like "divine nation", "One Nation under God", "God's Own Country", "God's Chosen People", and "God's Promised Land".[8]
In Precarious Life, Judith Butler discusses recognizing the Other in order to sustain the Self and the problems of not being able to identify the Other. Butler writes:
- [I]dentification always relies upon a difference that it seeks to overcome, and that its aim is accomplished only by reintroducing the difference it claims to have vanquished. The one with whom I identify is not me, and that "not being me" is the condition of the identification. Otherwise, as Jacqueline Rose reminds us, identification collapses into identity, which spells the death of identification itself.[9]
Biology and evolutionary theory
A 2011 paper in PNAS suggested that ethnocentrism may be mediated by the oxytocin hormone. It found that in randomized controlled trials "oxytocin creates intergroup bias because oxytocin motivates in-group favoritism and, to a lesser extent, out-group derogation".[10]
In The Selfish Gene, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins writes that "Blood-feuds and inter-clan warfare are easily interpretable in terms of Hamilton's genetic theory."[11] Simulation-based experiments in evolutionary game theory have attempted to provide an explanation for the selection of ethnocentric-strategy phenotypes.[12]

end quote from:Ethnocentrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And so, when any culture tries to view what is happening elsewhere through their values and mores, thousands to millions of people die because people have completely different values and mores around the world. And what is important to one culture is not important to another culture and millions often die when this happens when disagreements are that strong between diverse cultures like is happening right now between Putin and the Western World.
You might have thought I was going to say: "ISIS" but to be realistic Putin caused ISIS by keeping Assad in power. So, one can directly or indirectly attribute the existence of ISIS to Putin.
And Putin's philosophy as strange as this might sound greatly resembles the philosophy of a bigoted most conservative Republican from the South of the United States in the 1950s.
The only real difference would be that Russia is the place he is loyal to and would think nothing of killing every man, woman and child in the U.S. at this point with a nuke if he could to get his way.
But, that's the rub. He can't. If he did that it would literally be the end of Earth itself and everything on earth would die because of doomsday weapons.
Truth is Stranger than Fiction
I have noticed this about life here on earth. That all the time I have found "Truth is Stranger than Fiction"
Most people like to live in a safe little world with firm boundaries and well defined realities.
However, that isn't the way life is at all.
All the well defined fairy tales we are given through life of ultimate good and ultimate bad is mostly just horse shit.
Most of life is about just trying to survive all the really crazy shit you are going to experience in your life if you walk outside your door and leave wherever you grew up to visit other places and people.
For example, in the Midwest of the U.S. you often can find very white, very nice, and very completely ethnocentric people who don't have a clue about anything outside of where they were born.
This is also true of places like interior Russia, Interior China, etc.
So, in these types of places they just usually don't have a clue about anything outside of their little town or city. And they like it this way.
However, this kind of ethnocentrism is also what creates World Wars.
Because always Truth is way stranger than these people can even begin to deal with any any way, shape or form.
So, this creates world wars when people don't understand each other.
There is nothing inherently wrong with being happily ethnocentric.
Until about 100 million or more people die.
Which is about where we are going as a world right now.
