Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Jejak Langkah

"Bangsa-bangsa di Hindia tidak pernah tidak korup. Mereka korup sudah sejak dunia pikirannya, dari dukun sampai pedagangnya, dari petani sampai rajanya. Mereka tidak mengerti nilai uang. Mereka hanya tahu nilai hawa nafsunya sendiri."

Walter Russell: The Visionary Behind Light and Consciousness

Gambar
In May 1921, American polymath Walter Russell entered a 39-day coma-like state, during which he claimed to have accessed “the source of all knowledge.” Upon awakening, he frantically wrote down what he had seen—pages filled with philosophical, scientific, and spiritual revelations that would later form the foundation of his manuscript The Universal One. Though he sent his findings to 500 leading minds of the time, nearly all dismissed him as mad—except one. Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was so struck by Russell’s insights that he urged him to seal the work away for a thousand years, insisting that humanity was not yet ready for its truths. Walter Russell’s revelations reimagined the very structure of reality. He argued that matter was not solid but crystallized light slowed by thought—that everything around us, from rocks to human bodies, was composed of light patterns, shaped by consciousness. He believed the universe was fundamentally mental, not material, and tha...

Suargaloka, Narakaloka DAN Mokshaloka

Tubuh yang menjadi sumber nafsu dan penderitaan tidak ada di sorga. Neraka digambarkan dengan cara yang sangat menahan diri.

The Mystery of the Horsemen Statues in Gool, Ramban: An Ancient Enigma Unsolved

Hidden in the remote and rugged landscapes of the Pir Panjal range, within the Jammu Division of Jammu and Kashmir, India, lies a fascinating mystery—the Mysterious Horsemen. These enigmatic stone figures, scattered across at least three secluded locations, have puzzled historians and archaeologists alike.   One of the most striking sites is in Gool, located in the Ramban District, where over a hundred of these majestic horsemen stand tall. Some of these statues tower over 8 feet, crafted in lifelike proportions, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The sheer number and grandeur of these figures at this single site alone are enough to spark curiosity and wonder.   The origins of these horsemen remain shrouded in mystery. Some theories suggest they were the work of the White Huns, also known as the Svet Hunas or Hephthalites—a Central Asian tribe that ruled this region between the 5th and 7th centuries. Mihirkula, one of their most notorious rulers, is oft...
