Book summary >>>
Ulysses arrived on Planet Earth with an invisible space ship after light years of travel. He came from Planet
Progress. It was only during the last two generations that the people of Planet Progress actually secured the survival
of the human species on their planet. They came very close to self-extinction......
For over a century Planet Earth has been under observation by the scientists of Planet Progress. These
scientists were amazed to discover the great similarities between the two planets. They also understood the criticality
of the next two centuries for the survival of the human species on planet earth....
They chose Ulysses to carry out this rescue mission, for many reasons... But perhaps the most convincing
reason was his unique ability to "see" into the subconscious of other people and, without speaking, directly
communicate with their minds... And so the Story begins .
It is about the Eternal Human saga….
Why are we here? Who are we? Should we question our values? What is our place in the universe?

WHY?
It is estimated that a newborn baby has a memory capacity thousands of
times greater than that of the largest computer on earth to-date. By the
age of three, the baby's intelligence, and his ability to learn and to
associate, far surpasses the ability of all the computers combined. Yet on
his twenty-first birthday, this grown baby is very likely to be profoundly
and permanently confused. Furthermore, his chances of ever regaining
intellectual coherency are slim. To appreciate the powerful forces that
manage to generate such disarray in the "human computer", it is worth
shedding some light on its capacity versus the electronic computer. At this
moment hundreds of scientists are devoting their best talents in attempts
to teach the electronic computer the simple skill of recognizing an image.
That skill is well known to a year old infant.
Meanwhile, hundreds of other dedicated scientists have been spending
the last several years attempting to teach the computer to interpret the
sounds of the human spoken language. That skill is well accomplished by a
two years old child.
Yet the same "highly unintelligent electronic machines" are smart
enough to control and coordinate our vehicles, stores, banks and industry.
They are even involved in our media, entertainment, education, and health
care. This little brain behind the screen has the ultimate say in the
design of most transportation vehicles, fighting machines, civil
construction, and even today's fashion and music.
This idea raises a question: How can such a "meager minded" machine
with an intelligence in some cases, of less than a little baby exercise so
much control over our world, yet we, who are equipped with an even more
sophisticated computer, barely control our own lives?
5
In fact, our super computer often turns against us and spins our mind
into an endless circle of confusion. It is the type of confusion that leads
many youngsters to drinking, drug abuse, and suicide. It is also the power
that throws many helpless souls into the pits of fanatic religion and
elusive spiritualism. It is the type of confusion that makes people the
enemies of themselves and turns friends into foes. It rules our working
environment and overwhelms our political system. Stumbling through these
clouds of confusion, many adults concluded that there really is no sense in
this world and, if sense does exist, it must be beyond comprehension. So,
in despair, they embark on a futile and life long journey of self- deceit.
Layer after layer of misconception and false notion are loaded into their
data- base. In turn, the corrupted data- base further pushes the human
super-computer into the endless spiral of more confusion. And then, to
insure no possible recovery, a huge warning label is set on the spiraling
state of confusion; it reads “Don't Touch. This computer suffers from the
incurable virus known as stupidity.”
So here are the key questions: How can such a potent computer be
transformed from an asset into a liability? What are those enormous
programming powers that cripple the human computer? Who is perpetuating the
spiral of confusion and where will it end?

ULYSSES_FROM_PLANET_PROGRESS
Ulysses arrived on Planet Earth with an invisible space ship after
light years of travel. He came from Planet Progress. It was only during the
last two generations that the people of Planet Progress actually secured
the survival of the human species on their planet. They came very close to
self-extinction due to a chain of events that seemed beyond their control.
The current scientific belief is that the close call of self-destruction
was prevented by the planet's global regulatory system. Ulysses himself
served as the chairman of the Planet Regulatory Board for five years before
his journey to planet Earth.
For over a century Planet Earth has been under observation by the
scientists of Planet Progress. These scientists were amazed to discover the
great similarities between the two planets. They also understood the
criticality of the next two centuries for the survival of the human species
on planet earth.
Due to the amazing similarities between Planet Progress and planet earth,
the scientists believe that humans on planet earth are now in a great
danger. In fact, according to their predictions,, in absence of
constructive intervention, the extinction of the human race on earth is
certain. The scientists had already established that out of billions of
dead planets, there are only a handful of human-inhabited planets.
Presently, earth is one of the inhabited planets that can be physically
reached by their spaceships. And so, in the name of the "human spirit",
they decided to launch an intergalactic rescue mission. They chose Ulysses
to carry out this rescue mission, for many reasons. But perhaps the most
convincing reason was his unique ability to "see" into the subconscious of
other people and, without speaking, directly communicate with their minds.
And so, after light years of travel, Ulysses found himself in the middle of
an empty field on the continent of North America. His stealthy spaceship’s
landing spot was carefully selected by the exploratory team that had landed
on earth several years before. They concluded that North America was the
perfect landing place for an alien to be most likely accepted. The
exploratory team experienced great difficulties in understanding the
natives' cultural habits. Therefore, the first task of Ulysses' mission was
to decipher the driving forces behind the natives' weird behavior patterns.
In order to accomplish this task, the complete historical data- base of
Planet Progress was loaded into his spaceship’s computer. Since the great
resemblance between the two planets might result in historical
similarities, Planet Progress' data- base would assist Ulysses in his first
task. He was told that the first step he had to take for his successful
social acceptance was to acquire a nice vehicle. His spaceship landed
within walking distance of a used car lot; therefore, shortly after
landing, Ulysses owned his first transportation vehicle on Earth.
As he started his great mission, Ulysses looked up to the sky and said
his prayer:
"Please give me the wisdom to find my way in this eternal confusion
and give me the intelligence to enlighten the less fortunate. And, if I do
succeed in my struggle, please give me the strength to remain humble so I
may maintain my wisdom."

THE_ENCOUNTER_WITH_THE_INVINCIBLE_MR_MOLDEDBRAIN
It was late afternoon when Ulysses headed toward Illusion, known
singles bar. He was told that the natives used to drink away their
mysterious frustrations and carry on meaningless conversations there. As he
entered Illusions, his eyes spotted a well-dressed man with a tailored suit
and a smooth "aerodynamic" haircut; however, the man's eyes indicated utter
mental disarray. Ulysses could not resist. He sat down quietly beside the
man and started interrogating the man's subconscious mind…
“ My name is Molded-brain,” replied the suffering soul. " I am a top
manager in a corporation called Go-For-it. I an very powerful and I can
fire and hire by the stroke of a pen, yet I am miserable and unhappy. I
have been working the last twenty years day and night just like a slave.
Even though I've had great accomplishments I am going nowhere. I have no
future and will never fulfill my dreams.”
Ulysses had to interrupt the overflow of grief. He thought for a
moment that the poor man was suffering from a terrible terminal disease.
"This dream of yours must be really something,” commented Ulysses.
“ I have lost all hope; I will never be a millionaire I dream of and I
will end up just an ordinary nobody,“ replied the suffering man.
"A millionaire, huh," wondered Ulysses. “ What is this about being a
millionaire? “
“You name it, “answered the man in agony. ”I can buy a mansion, I can own a
Rolls Royce and a private jet, and I can actually eat a pound of lobster
every evening…‘
“ And what will you do with all these wonderful possessions? ”Inquired
Ulysses.
“You don't understand," said the man impatiently “I could have all
those pretty girls and actually make love to all of them any time my heart
desired. All my neighbors would adore me and I would be the symbol of
success. Instead, I am nobody, my net worth is only a quarter of a million,
and I own only a Mazda."
It was then that Ulysses recalled from his briefing, prior to his
departure from planet- progress, that many natives had this great identity
confusion that lead them to believe that they were what they owned. He
noted to himself that this self- inflicted misconception required a
9
thorough analysis and he was determined to have a long conversation with
SmartAce, as soon as he got back to his spaceship.
Turning his head, Ulysses suddenly noticed a pretty-looking woman
staring at him with passionate eyes. It must be spring, he concluded, since
the little lady seemed to be just ripe and he was definitely ready for a
bite. Although it was not easy to ignore her well-curved body, it was her
state of mind that captured his attention. He walked over to her and
introduced himself.
"My name is Ulysses and I am from Planet Progress; nice to meet you,"
said Ulysses.
"Gee whiz," she immediately replied, "I never heard that line before.
My name is Scatterbrain; at least that's what my ex-husband called me.
Unfortunately, he disappeared six months ago.“
Ulysses spotted at once this contradiction between the woman’s high
intellectual potential and her great mental emptiness. She talked and
talked, but never said anything meaningful. She was greatly concerned about
the firmness of her body, and about the sharpness of her dress, her
hairstyle, her car, her bills, and her pet. She really tried to impress him
and she definitely wanted to go to bed with him.
It was then that Ulysses recalled another part of his briefing at
planet progress about the natives' obsession with their looks and almost
total disregard for their intellect. He knew that powerful forces were
required to create such a distortion in the human mind. As Ulysses debated
between graceful escape from the woman or the surrender to his desires, he
had already visualized the next morning after taste and the inevitable
intellectual hangover. Something told him that this woman could lead him to
a breakthrough in understanding those obscure brain damaging forces that
act on the natives. He took her phone number, promised to call her back,
and then rushed back to his spaceship.
It was raining outside. While waiting for the rain to subside, he sat
down and sketched his impression of the encounter with the invincible Mr.
Molded-brain. He drew him grasping his endless new possessions and gorging
on countless lobsters. He sketched up top, Mr. Molded-brain's wet dream of
lined-up girls waiting to fulfill their ultimate dream; down below he added
the wave of standing ovations from his neighbors.
On Planet Progress they taught every one the art of communication by
sketches. A good sketch was a very effective method to convey complex and
abstract thoughts. In fact, a sketch initiated the best conversations he
ever had with SmartAce. He was wondering what kind of story this new sketch
might bring up from the depth of SmartAce’s memory.

THE_GREAT_CONSUMPTION_AGE
Ulysses entered his space ship and pressed the attention key of
SmartAce.
"Hi SmartAce, “ he said, "I am back and have drawn a sketch; Can you
please provide me your interpretation."
SmartAce was the nickname of the spaceship's almighty computer.
SmartAce scanned the sketch for two seconds and a heavy smoke cloud emerged
from behind the console.
"Stop this nonsense, will you!" said Ulysses.
The smoke cloud was usually a teasing sign and it meant that a long story
was on the way. The title read:
‘The Great Consumption Age ‘
By Professor Plavious, Chief of the Historical Data Base of Planet Progress
And so the story goes:
“The Great Consumption Age, or GCA, began two centuries ago and lead
directly to the Great Disaster Era. It happened just when it seemed as if
the human masses finally had the ability to control their own destiny.
However, instead, they were turned into zombies and were left in the land
of self- deception.
The ruling lords argued that the way to the well being of their little
fellow men were beyond the masses comprehension. And they had a good reason
for this belief. Indeed, for generation after generation, whenever the
masses took over, a state of national chaos soon followed. By the turn of
the GCA a new form of government was evolving; it was called by some the
‘Government of the People’ and by others ‘Democracy’. This newly evolving
form of government imposed a great danger on the ruling lords. The ruling
lords always fought among themselves in an attempt to monopolize the
planet's human resources. For thousands of years they ruthlessly subjugated
the masses. The masses were turned into ‘tiny blood cells’ suited to serve
the rulers' empires. Non-cooperative ‘blood cells’ were purged. Free-
thinking ‘blood cells’ were annihilated. The ‘blood cells’ had to be
brainless.
And then, something terrible happened. A virus started to emerge and
it penetrated the ‘blood cells’. The virus was called ‘knowledge’. Like
cancer, it spread through entire empires, terrifying the ruling lords. At
the turn of the GCA masses of infected ‘blood cells’ turned against entire
empires and wiped out the ruling lords. New savage empires were formed and
instead of ruling lords, gangs of infected ‘blood cells’ were attempting to
collectively control empires. The gangs had no class, no culture, no
tradition and questionable values. They became a great danger to the
remaining ruling lords. It was then that the ruling lords decided to take
action. Secret meetings were held by thier agents. The newly coined slogan
aimed to spearhead the war against the carcinogenic virus of knowledge was
‘Give Them A New Drug’.
Unfortunately, the ‘old social drug’ was loosing its potency. For
several hundred years now, the masses were mentally crippled and
intellectually sedated by self-imposed fear. The human’s ancient fear of
the unknown future was brilliantly manipulated by agents of the ruling
lords, who were known by the name of clergy. The masses were led to believe
that an eternal reward was waiting for them if they followed the rituals
12
prescribed by the clergy. These rituals, often referred to as religion,
drugged the masses, for centuries. The drugged masses became a tasty prey
for the ruling lords.
Populations of entire continents were thoroughly digested while being
drugged. However, the dangerously spreading virus of knowledge started to
neutralize the old drug. The old drug was becoming obsolete. A new drug was
urgently needed. This new drug had to faithfully serve the aspirations of
the power hungry ruling lords for another millennium, but had to be much
more sophisticated than the old one. It also aimed for total control of the
masses. Engineered to stimulate rather than suppress primitive human
desires, above all, it was designed to forever uproot the plaguing virus of
knowledge. In short, the new drug had to launch the masses into a restless
and mindless productive orbit, while guaranteeing the power monopoly of the
ruling lords.
The development of the new drug was not easy. Several decades were
required to fine-tune it. It was all- together a new drug, administered in
radically new methods and developed with entirely new tools. This new drug
had many shapes and forms and it was delivered (primarily by the TV)
directly into the masses brain. It had a tremendous effect not only on the
masses, but also on the entire planet. Many individual human beings were
sent into a state of constant frustration compounded with feelings of
depravation. It also triggered in them an addiction to external
stimulation, to counteract the drug-induced emptiness. These individuals
were called Zombie Consumers. The new drug induced in them an insatiable
appetite to consume every conceivable commodity. It included all shapes and
forms of material goods, a variety of chemical substances, and all kinds of
sexual and gastronomical objects. For them, consumption became the essence
of life. They were literally consumed by the need to consume. Their motto
was: ‘We are what we consume’. And that was just the beginning. Their new
desire caused a great economical fire on the planet that lasted more than
200 years. It was this enormous fire that brought the human species to the
brink of extinction”.
All of a sudden, great darkness fell on the spaceship control room
and SmartAce's screen started to flicker with a continually expanding
image. It started as a little spot in the screen's center, and constantly
grew until Ulysses could finally recognize the image. The title said: ‘A
Zombie Consumer - product of the Great Consumption Age’. Loud sounding
trumpet music introduced the image, and, finally, SmartAce’s voice came
alive as he cheerfully said "Voila. "

SEX_BY_THE_SOAP
Ulysses parked his car near the ocean’s front. It was still early
morning and he was watching the beautiful sunrise through the large rock
formation on the shore.
He was experiencing a great sensation. It was something he could never
experience in his lifetime on planet progress. The red and beautiful
silhouette of the sun in front, the sea lions on the rocks bathing in the
morning sun, and the cheerful sound of the morning birds from the green
trees all around. He could have never physically witnessed it back home.
The only way some one could even come close to such a sensation on planet
progress was by watching a very old movie picture. Such beautiful scenes
were kept alive on planet progress only by the video- tapes. The scenes of
free birds were long gone and most of the oceanic mammals died from
chemical pollution and excessive fishing. Watching the sun freely was
completely forbidden even during sunset due to the severe atmospheric
erosion. The color of the trees on planet progress was mostly yellow and a
person was not allowed to stay in the outside atmosphere without the
breathing mask.
Ulysses quickly figured out that if everything will progress on his
planet according to the environmental rescue plans, it would take roughly
900 years before such a science may be even thinkable back home.
Well, he thought, I bet these natives have no real appreciation for
such beauty and chances are they have no idea how easily they can lose it
all.
He could smell the clean and fresh breath of the ocean and felt almost
high breathing the clean and abundant oxygen. I wish my friends could be
here for just a few moments. There is no way I can ever try to explain to
them such a sensation. It will be like using empty words to explain a great
act of love.
Thinking of love, he said to himself, how about making a phone call to
little Scatterbrain. If I have to make a guess she is still alone in bed
and probably would not mind sharing her breakfast with me.
He drove slowly away from the morning scene searching for a nearby
phone.
She picked up the phone almost instantly and in her half sleepy voice
she sounded as if she just woke up from a sweet dream. "Hi there," she
said, "I can't believe it but I was just dreaming about US."
"Well lady, how about sharing your breakfast with me?" asked Ulysses.
"I wouldn't mind a fresh cup of coffee with a good looking woman."
"Sounds wonderful, “ she said, "I will be ready for you in fifteen
minutes, let me give you directions.”...........

Ulysses selected from his computerized data- base four remarkable

changed the course of the scientific history on planet progress. He mailed
them to the chairman of the international EIII organization, asking for an
interview. The Engineering Institute of Imaginary Intelligence (EIII) was
regarded as the ultimate scientific and engineering authority on earth......

It was this climate, fostered by the new drug, which entirely weakened
and discredited the scientific community during the GCA. Scientists, like

The marvel, however, was not the machines but rather the
standardization of human knowledge and the introduction of self- learning
computers that were fed by truth seeking enlightened scientists.
The global brain was perhaps the most sophisticated creation of the
human race ever. It harmonized all the intellectual powers of the human
race since beginning of time, in order to achieve a single- minded purpose.
The purpose was not a quest for power nor for glory nor for wealth nor for
beauty and nor for any other human weaknesses. The purpose was simply to
seek a respectful survival of humankind throughout the next millennium.
So…'to be or not to be'…was the ancient question that the global brain
had to resolve. Except it was not the individuals survival dilemma, but
rather the question of the human race extinction, as you can see in my

“'Our mission will be completed and we will be heading home as soon as
we secure the global network of the scientific enlightened institutes. The
network will cover most of the nations and all the scientists will have
international allegiance. It is time to discuss the great- war ahead”,
…announced SmartAce… and this time even his computerized voice sounded
somewhat sad.

Eternity
To>>Table_of_content_N_0
Ulysses was 80 years old now .He returned to planet Progress after his
successful rescue mission on planet Earth. His Granddaughter was sitting
next to him .She looked into his eyes very innocently and asked:” Grandpa
why are we here? Grandpa you are one of the most respected citizen on
planet Progress. I wish you could tell me a story that can answer my
question. I know that your stories are long winded but I am relaxed now and
have all the time in the world “
“My dear child “ said Ulysses “great people before me already
attempted to answer your question, there many hypothetical answers none is
proven so far. I developed my interpretation .You will be the judge. But I
have to worn you, my interpretation of our universe has much more questions
than answers .so here is my story”:
“Is it possible that a part in us is eternal. If there is such a part,

it is certainly not our body. Let assume for a moment that we indeed
comprise of an eternal entity, call it our soul. Can we possibly find at
least one ‘scientific’ explanation for the existence of a part, in us, that
is eternal? I am a scientist and I was searching all my life for a
plausible ‘scientific’ explanation to the possibility of spiritual
eternity. A simple explanation will say, yes, our soul is projected into
our work, our creation, our children and they carry it on to eternity. But
maybe there is more to it. Searching for our eternity I had a strong urge
to find out at least one possible link between science soul and eternity.
The connection I found inspired me and gave me a strong sense of purpose....
