    true there maybe higher forces at play who want us to mine the minerals for their own needs and use us as a slave population.
    would the re-population of another planet not have the same goals at heart?
    a survival of the fittest and control over the rest?

    it is already speculation that mars has thousands of people who are in the work house!

    for who,s benefit would it be to find a habitual planet?

    for the good of humanity or a elite few?
    all good questions.
    now, what questions arise after seeing interstellar?

    here's a smart set of interviews with the cast, as well as insights into nolan's past films
    that paint a picture of a brilliant auteur. (something the big studios killed long ago.)

    it's a bit cheeky, but fun.

    right on, tonton.

    considering this is the grandest, biggest thinking, most epical sci-fi film of this century,
    it would seem to provide lots of discussion and fodder for conversation, especially here at TOT.

    leaving the theatre, I was shaken. (in a good way)

    spoiler: that first, punctuating organ cord, right from Also sprach Zarathustra, signals something special.

    well we went and watched the movie tonight.
    it was good to get out.
    i was worried my partner and daughter may not get it,but we all loved it.
    it does raise lots of questions and makes you ponder.but does not surprise me.
    as i have a feeling and have thought things in the past without the science behind it but more of a spiritual side of some of the themes in the movie.

    I was emotional torn up by a sci-fi film.
    what-a-concept.
    so rare.

    makes you wonder if Nolan has been given inside information to desensitize movie goers to other possibilities just as Spielberg did with close encounters.

    super duper spoiler alert, I tell ya.

    nolan really didn't get into the other worldly, 'them.'

    all the prodding and help came from 'us' -- our distant, way future us.
    as I recall, that's revealed in the crazy time loop tesseract scene, by TARS.
    (the 3 dimensional Coop is allowed to exist in the 5 dimensional time loop, by our distant 'us'.)

    they're help with the wormhole, the library ghostly clues, etc. were created to protect the timeline.
    if the earth died and we perished or if the mission did not succeed, our future selves would not exist.

    it was about 'us' meeting 'us'.

    and the real mind boggler is this film fleshes out the ending of stanley kubrick's, 2001: a space odyssey.
    at the end of that film, it reveals mankind's next step as a god-like, ethereal entity. all seeing and protective.
    interstellar, takes-off from there.

    a tip off to all of this in interstellar is when the crew gets close to the wormhole, to begin the 'trip' –
    a massive pipe organ cord signals this connection between the two films. (sounds like 2001's Thus Spoke Zarathustra)

    in many ways, interstellar extends that plot line and is an homage to kubrick's masterpiece as only nolan could pull off.
    I'm still thinking about it.
    mind boggling, indeed.

    would this not cause a paradox?
    by helping change the past how would it affect our future selves?
    if the past is changed and it has affected the future would our future selves need to get in touch?

    the The Akashic Records came strongly to mind.As did the singularity where there is no time and space and everything exists at once.
    where the theme was in lucy in one scene where she was able to access any point in time.

    in our 3d reality we use time as a measurement for our lifes and what we need(only humans).

    as for a paradox necessarily needing to occur, I'm no expert.

    it seems that the 5 dimensional time loop is fluid and can be influenced, but not sure.
    but big picture, if we never reached the 'other worlds,' there is no 'future us,' so an intervention was required, I think.

    as for your connection with the akashic records, I think you have something there.
    the tesseract scene seems to be described here:

    The Akashic Records or "The Book of Life" can be equated to the universe's super computer system.
    It is this system that acts as the central storehouse of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth.
    More than just a reservoir of events, the Akashic Records contain every deed, word, feeling, thought,
    and intent that has ever occurred at any time in the history of the world.

    "Upon time and space is written the thoughts, the deeds, the activities of an entity – as in relationships to its environs,
    its hereditary influence; as directed – or judgment drawn by or according to what the entity's ideal is.
    Hence, as it has been oft called, the record is God's book of remembrance; and each entity, each soul –
    as the activities of a single day of an entity in the material world –
    either makes same good or bad or indifferent, depending upon the entity's application
    of self towards that which is the ideal manner for the use of time, opportunity and the expression
    of that for which each soul enters a material manifestation.
    The interpretation then as drawn here is with the desire and hope that,
    in opening this for the entity, the experience may be one of helpfulness and hopefulness."
    Edgar Cayce


    as time goes, much like the meaning of '2001,'
    I bet we'll learn more about the underlying messages and theme of Interstellar.
    It's got legs.

    if our future selves can reach back and influence our now timeline for our own benefit.
    would we realize our timeline has been changed?
    could we even know?
    are there only certain people that can be reached and then thus changes the timeline of everyone?

    the loop seemed to exist,at what point would our future selves be happy not to contact the past self or is it always available?

    we here of people talking of the HS and connecting with it to help us in the here and now!
    people ask angels and such for guidance knowing that they know more than we do and give themselves away to the channeled information available.

    just as the rest of mankind where left to perish and dna where to seed new earths it did remind me of a adam and eve scenario also.
