The story of the tomb of St. Francis, hidden for centuries beneath the main altar, lends an almost mystical undertone to this new era. After his death in 1226, the body was carefully hidden to avoid theft or desecration. It was only discovered in 1818, after a long search, and since then, several verifications have been carried out — most recently in 2015 –, which confirmed the authenticity and good state of preservation of the relics. Those bones, marked by the suffering and wounds of the Crucified One, are the physical echo of a life spent for love. The Basilica of St. Francis will become, during that month, the spiritual heart of the world. A massive influx of pilgrims from all Continents is expected. To guarantee a serene and prayerful experience, a free and mandatory reservation system has been established through the website http://www.sanfrancescovive.org, which is available in several languages.
The point is that even if the brutal capitalists take everything away from the workers (even their clothes) and lock each individual in a cell – this is the ideal conditions for in-depth meditation practice. Nothing can stop a Buddhist so committed – and it is time that the Communist Parties of the world acknowledge the importance of the Buddhist Revolutionary Method! Finally, when studying “Philosophy of Mind” I was introduced to the Western idea that the “mind” does “not exist”. Due to thousands of years of theistic theology – the West was deluded into thinking that the mind equals the disembodied spirit – and that both were “separate” from the body.
In the heart scan study, researchers found that the AI model wasn’t actually focusing on the heart itself, where there were few visible differences linked to racial categories. Instead, it drew information from areas outside the heart, such as subcutaneous fat as well as image artefacts – unwanted distortions like motion blur, noise, or compression that can degrade image quality. These artefacts often come from the scanner and can influence how the AI interprets the scan.
“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.
While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.
In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.
“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.
Patients’ hopes lifted
The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.
Aliens and gods dissolve back into the shadows from whence they came. All the uncaring and abusive medicalised experiences on the UFOs just turn out to be the ruthless agency of private health and its lack of care for those who pay for its services – possibly on an aeroplane. Reading the thoughts of others turns out to be merely mistaking one’s own thought patterns as belonging to someone else. Universal love – experienced only inside the individual – is a narcissistic reaction to the mindless brutality and indifference projected by all others living in a predatory capitalist society. This is how a worker suffers from being abducted by a sense of alienation. Why – what did you think I meant?
