It is definitely worth reading this story to its end!

I related this to a missing 'Twilight Zone' episode, that awakened my creative juices.

The payoff will not come for those who quit half of the way through!

Great Balls of Fire as Jerry Lewis would say...Wheeeee that was a long read and I wasn't tired until I finished it and got the ending, which all of you other guys must see...

Now, mind you, you must read the entire article for this all to make complete sense, or somewhat complete sense.

Sir Robert...whereever did you locate this one???

They truly need to make a movie out of this or have they???

No cheaters out there, if you do go directly to the end of this story, you will miss a truly interesting article, but, please do be forwarned, make sure you have some time and get a cup of coffee, or a cold drink, cause you will be fasinated by the entire article.

Thanks for this one...was going to read your newest article and take my resuce dog out for a quick walk before it got to 6:20...almost 6:40a.m. and Jessie has been waiting patiently by the door for her walk for over 45 min!!!

Don't know how you found this one, gotta print this one out!!!

This has to be made into a movie, short film etc.

I agree with you Marilyn completely, in triple spades!!!

Perhaps by sending this across the Internet right now, it will spark someone's imagination to make that movie --- and soon!

But for those of you today who 'cheat the read', and hurry to the end impatiently, you would be the ones that miss the big payoff!!!

Truth exactly Robert, You have to pay for all your deads, before you can move on.


Now here is the truth on another more important subject, that not only will save your lives, but will heal, and repower, every bit of land on the planet.

RE-PLANT THE HEMP PLANT, This was put there by the God,s.
They put it in the ground for a good reason.
This is the food for you to eat.when all else fails, It should be stored in oil For the time is runing out.
It will grow too crops a year, it will clean up the ground.
You can cloth yorselves with it.
It heals the body.
It is food for the Animale.
Paper to write on.
Textils.
Plastices.
Rope.
Sailcloth.
A happy thing to eat and smoke gives so much enjoyment.
All the lies that have been told about this plant have got to stop and stop right now. This comes from the highest with hope that you will all wake up. Blessings to you all Janet.

All power is in Sunlight.
All healing is in Sunlight.
All will grow with Sunlight.
Nothing will exist without the Sunlight.
Take away the Sunlight there is no Life.
It is within the man, that all the spirit, body that lives that comes from the heavens above, that works and thinks trys to remember, what it has to do,to do this one has to meditate, to do this you should Gaze at the Sunlight f if there is none becouse of Cloud cover.
Drink the Sunlight, That is squeesed out of the Hemp seeds, and made into an Oil.
For to drink just one little capfull of this Oi, contains so many seeds, that it would be impossible, for you to eat so much.
In the Hemp seed is pure power from the Sunlight, and handed down to you from the Father this is one of the most powerfull plants for storing up This Sunlight for all your power of movement.
This power is also contained in the Water, that is flowing, this should gathered from the streams that flow.
and is bubbling up from the waters below that have been filterd down through the Rock's.
Drink from the Wells,

All the Air that you take into your bodie's, contains, all smells from the Earth, that are released.
The flowers ,the Herbs, Even the Bad smells are realy good for you, that come from the ground, When you burn of a little smoke.
This smoke, should rise from the burning of of the crops of the fields, the Smoke, so very important for the Calming of the mind of the Human, for when he smells this smoke he will smell all the Herbs that is in the ground, when and at the end of his day when he needs rest, he can contenplate on his dayly work and can think the next task and this herb will give him his calm in a little pipe made out of the fiest wood, with whichever Herb he likes the Smell of.
Every single thing has been created and placed here will give you help,
when the needs are for calm know and remember that you are not doing this alone for I am with you always in Spirit be in Happynes, Joy, and contentment.
Thank you Father, for my life.
May blessings be on you all, and may you reach out of the Fog and reach into the light my Angel.
Love Janet.
I must add, All you need to eat or Drink is this plant that the Gods gave you.
It is pure Sunlight stored in the SEEDS.
THESE SEEDS MUST BE GATHERED IN FROM THE FRUITS THAT YOU EAT AND STORED FOR THE WINTER MOUNTH,
ALL THE STONES, FROM THE Apricots, Peaches,
ALL NUTS FROM THE TREES, THE ALMOND's.
THE POWER THAT THESE NUTS CONTAIN, IS SO POWERFULL, THat fIVE OF THESE Apricot nuts WILL KEEP YOU ALL ALIVE,
All the Stones must be stored in truth just like the squirrel does.
God bless you all with wisdom. Janet.
For and on behalfe of the Father. Amen Janet.

The lingering and very much haunting question remaining in our minds, and in the mind of Harley Haworth at the end of the story is ----

Was Harley Haworth really revived to life in the future as we are led to believe, or perhaps he had actually died and was never recovered, but was truly being delivered into an alternate state of reality --- where the Grim Reaper was in fact conducting Haworth into the real eternal Hell (symbolized as the prison colony on Mars), that was to be suffered by this condemned soul throughout all of eternity!!! (???)

--- Or is this just an ironic paradox of justice across the vast expanse of Time, and Haworth was indeed receiving his just deserves in the extended 'real' world???

I believe that Dr. Robert C.W. Ettinger, the father of modern cryonics purposefully intended to leave this interpretation to the eye of the beholder, as a true genius would absolutely impart to an unsuspecting audience!
