TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

    Sorry, I initially missed the point of this post altogether... never saw "Wings of Desire", but it sounds interesting!

    There's a blog post on the full speech here

    It's a memorable scene, about how we can reach between here and the 'there' that is beyond us. Also, it shows how humanity can be better than angelic and divine perfection.

    Here's a clip from the film with Falk, which showed how Berlin was the perfect no man's land between east and west in 1987 for these questions:

    Wonderful scene! I loved the backdrop of Berlin... which has always fascinated me since the 70's and I started listening to electronic music, a lot of which originated there.

    Thanks!
