The THANATON III

Comments:
The painting depicts an extraterrestrial's exhortation to me, explaining how to:
1) Link life to death in a continuous experience.
2) Utilize the resulting thanatonic energy to travel faster than the speed of light,
turn matter into consciousness and back again, alter evolution at will and exist simultaneously at every moment of time.
3) Move the entire universe into the fifth dimensional realm, and say when in history it is possible for this to happen.

I have also received other information I cannot understand.
Since this information was given to me directly but not for me per se,
it must be communicated to others, many of whom are better prepared than I to receive it.

Accordingly I was also shown how to make the painting into psychotronic, or mind-matter interactive device which is
activated by approaching the painting, stretching out your arms, touching the upright hands and staring into the eye.
By doing this, new information will come to you through the active use of the divine proportion, which is the
proportion of life connecting to death.
