Every Man and Woman is a Star

Is this the shifting point?  Is this the point where the organization can no longer hold itself together? And will it matter? Will anyone be awoken in time for it to matter at all? The human race is a race in denial. We watch a massive hurricane, empowered by accelerated global warming, decimate a city, and really an entire area of a country. And the government just sorta casually drops the ball on the issue. And will this be a lesson to anyone? Nothing will be improved because the official stance of the current administration is that global warming doesn't exist, and thus, this storm was just a fluke and nothing to worry about. Keep a weary eye on the weather, it is changing faster and faster and becoming more extreme, and no longer can anyone count on The Powers that Be to help, because they are more lost than anyone. Can anyone watch the president and not see the strings? He has no awareness of what is going on. And that is a symptom of the whole. I think it is not so much neglect as ignorance.

Our science has become our religion. Dogmatic and unbending, and the arguments that arise are wrong on their most simple basis. We have a theory of evolution with so many holes that's it's almost transparent, and the only other side of the argument seems to be Creationism, which has now been disguised as scientific by calling it Intelligent Design. Quite rightly, though, it holds about as much water as evolution. When evolution is taught, it's taught as a fact. I have seen morons argue about how it is a fact, yet there is almost no standing proof for it anywhere. So why is a continually unproven theory accepted and pushed so hard that most people don't doubt it? A point to ponder I guess...  Human nature perhaps? Fear, that all we know may not be right. If that which we form our scientific foundations on proves to be weak and unstable, what holds up the rest of it. What will the professors who teach such material do, if all they learned thus far fall apart? It's not a conscious thing. It's ingrained. But we tend to look at reality the wrong way around. Cold, hard, science says that matter comes first, from nothing, then consciousness evolved to where we are today. All by chance. Reality however, works the other way around. Consciousness exists, and it has created this world to explore and create. Consciousness creates matter. There are even some brave scientists who are acquiescing to this idea. They are seeing that this is where things are pointing and where the most elusive answers lie. We knew this long ago in our history, of a time now forgotten...

And that time, it also does not exist according to the Church of Science. I used to study anything science related I could find. I used to live on Long Island, and was utterly fascinated by the ice age and how it created said Island. Where I am now, in the fingers lakes, those two were carved out by the ice age. There is only one problem. Facts falter proving that there ever was an ice age. The facts point to a shift of the pole. At one point, the pole was in the Hudson Bay, just north of here. Oddly enough, this was the so-called ice age. Now, if you look at a map of the world during the last ice age, you may notice something odd. First of all, Siberia, which is cold now, was not then. The facts are, that during the last ice age, Siberia was warm, and Europe and North America were covered by ice. Now take a globe and tilt it, and you will see why that is. Also, you may note, that you often see in science animations of the ice age and such, the ice crawling down across the globe. It never comes up from the South Pole, cause ice doesn't come up, right? Ice slides down. Glaciers do not climb, they slide down. It looks logical, but it's nonsense. But since North is up it makes it seem like it should work. So why this complex theory, which constantly needs reworking to keep it valid? Well, because back in the 1800's scientists were finding evidence of massive flooding. Flooding on such a scale that it validated the story in the old testament. Well, science being somewhat a new religion at the time, could not say that the flood happened, because if they did, this would result in the bible thumpers of the day claiming that the bible was now scientifically proven. So, they needed something else. The Ice Age theory worked nicely. And it is so engrained now, that no one doubts it, or examines the evidence for other explanations. Today, plenty of stuff in the old testament is found to have historical basis. The flood 'myth' is found in something like 250 cultures around the world. But the dogma is set.

And then you take a step further down into the ruins of what we think we know, and we see everywhere evidence of a civilization that existed before the time of the flood. Before 10,000 years ago. Fairly recently, a standard, by the book, geologist found some old artifacts down in Mexico. She had them dated using four different methods. She was hoping that it would make her career, and suspected that they would be the oldest yet found in the 'new world' by accepted archeology, suspecting that they could be as old as 20,000 years old. The problem that arose though, is that all 4 accepted dating methods showed the artifacts to be more like a quarter of a million years old. According to science, man didn't even exist yet. Yet their own methods, by someone loyal to their church, came up with, yet another, huge anomaly. An inconvenient fact. So, what could they do? They blackballed their fellow scientist, ridiculed and vilified her, and destroyed her career. This is not the first, nor the last time. It was heresy, however unintentional. There are mines in the Great Lakes that date back FAR into antiquity. Mines in Africa that are just as old, if not older. You won't read about them in any textbook, because they don't fit into accepted fact. Their existence is damned. Charles Fort had that term right when he collected books worth of such cases, and this was back in the early 1900's. Far larger books of the damned could be written now. We have not really advanced, we just have nicer toys.

So when does it all fall? We are a race with amnesia, to quote Graham Hancock. We don't remember what happened last time, when all was almost wiped out. They tried to pass down the information through the survivors, but it has been distorted or destroyed along the way to us. We are capable of so much. Yet I look around, and instead of shining the stars we are, we are burdened with a grogginess, drugged by fear, withdrawn into selfishness, and bound by shallow materialism. We have created this world as a whole, to be something more than we can be alone. And I mean we as in all forms of consciousness. Most of which we lay unawares. I want to believe that we can wake up as a whole and see what is really there. But day by day, I feel that hope drain from me. It is not as hard as it seems. But no one seems to care, so difficulty is not the issue. Humans are so caught up in feeding their egos, fitting in, and greedily collecting everything they can. Why? Is it a symptom of our disconnection from our higher selves, from the universe? Yes, it is. Humans as a whole are frightened children, taught that the material is all that matters, even by many religions. We are taught to ignore the part of us that is connected. The views of the world are more right than the views or knowledge of the individual. Or so we are taught to understand. But now, slowly, the views of the world are crumbling. And what happens to it's followers? Despair. Intellect is not praised, it is frowned upon. Creativity does not get you anywhere, conformity does. Even in music. You want to be BIG, you conform to the latest sound and jump through the right hoops. Sad.

So here we are, muddled in stagnation. Closed to each other and to the multiverse of experience around us. Our flames dwindling. 10,000 years back, we were left a warning. Something is coming, but we are too dumb, and blind, to see. Is all hope lost?

I'm not sure it matters anymore.
