WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Around 45K-50K years ago, anatomically-modern humans had their Great Leap Forward. Maybe it had something to do with ingesting some Neanderthal DNA. If that was the case, that was the only part of the Neanderthals that survived. Neanderthals became extinct about 20K years after the Great Leap Forward began. The appearance of modern humans did only not mean the end of most of the world’s megafauna; there were also several human species alive when the Great Leap Forward happened, and they all went extinct as modern humans filled all niches. There were even some homo erecti around:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...C000_years_old

The Great Leap Forward had many aspects. Tools and weapons became far more sophisticated. Fancy grave goods became common. Long-distance trade developed. Art developed.

Cave paintings go back about 40K years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupestrian_art#Age

and porn quickly appeared.

http://artmarketmonitor.com/2012/05/...rn-discovered/

http://articles.timesofindia.indiati...ngs-oldest-art

And recently, it is thought that a lot of that kind of art was drawn by the equivalent of horny teenage boys:

http://www.livescience.com/7028-anci...-graffiti.html

Our high culture has deep roots.

The earliest known ceramics are nearly 30K years old:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery#History

and art of the female body predominates:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurines

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravettian

While there has never been a truly matriarchal society that anthropologists can find, it is thought that those ancient Venus statuettes were religious artifacts, not pornographic. Women were seen as the source of life.

The hunter-gatherer societies of culturally modern humans eventually spread to all continents except Antarctica, and few islands were spared the human presence. The African and Asian megafauna did not all survive, either:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...frica_and_Asia

The fiercest debate on the megafaunal extinctions is regarding what happened near the ice sheets of the Northern Hemisphere:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...rthern_Eurasia

It is true that Earth’s vegetation patterns changed dramatically during the last 2.5 million years, as the ice sheets advanced and retreated, but similar to how gorillas abandoned the land south of the Congo River, making way for bonobos to evolve:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...bos#post537104

all that megafauna that quickly went extinct when those super-predator humans arrived had survived literally dozens of glacial intervals, to all suddenly go extinct just when the irresistible predator arrived. I don’t buy the “the vegetation changed” theorizing and scientific papers that I see out there, or bolide impact theorizing, and so on. Humans are megafauna, and it takes a lot to feed them. The greatest windfall energy resource as those humans invaded the planet would have been those large animals. As humans invaded ecosystems that had not ever seen humanoids, not much of the plant life would have been edible, nor would those invading humans have immediately known what was edible. But all the large animals were. I see hints of the human ego, defending our rapacious ancestors, whenever I see scientists try to explain the megafaunal extinctions as some sort of environmental effect, no matter how scholarly and rigorous the efforts may seem. Human are super-killers, and have been that way since the beginning. That period when humans spread across the planet I call the Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer. Virgin fields beckoned, and our ancestors raped and plundered their way across the planet. How could it have been any other way? Leaving our ecological niche and invading other ecosystems necessarily meant that the other species that we either found edible or competed with us was going to be preyed upon. Nothing on Earth could withstand the onslaught, and nothing did. The elephants of the Western Hemisphere all went extinct, even in South America, where there were never any continental ice sheets:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...#South_America

Mammoths survived for several thousand years on islands that those early humans did not invade:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangel...auna_and_flora

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Pau...atural_history

long after their continental brethren went extinct, at least until humans arrived, and then they quickly went extinct. Some ground sloths similarly survived the holocaust on the mainland, to only go extinct when humans arrived on the Caribbean islands:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalocnus

Like it or not, this is our heritage. Not only were humans slaughtering anything that moved, but they slaughtered each other. Many of the recent finds in bogs and melting glaciers, of uncannily preserved humans, find that the people died violently:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%c3%96t...Cause_of_death

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1776654.html

The most proportionally-violent era in human history is its hunter-gatherer phase. Anthropologists can only find rare exceptions where pre-agricultural peoples did not regularly kill each other, especially as territories and the food supply shrank as humans multiplied and killed off all the easy meat. In fact, scientists today figure that those hunter-gatherer populations were kept in check by violence, not by disease or starvation. The only apocalyptic horseman back then was warfare. After studying modern-day hunter-gatherers, scientists have determined that about a third of all hunter-gatherer males die violently. The sophisticated tools, weapons, and group tactics that allowed humans to become Earth’s first super-predator that could conquer every ecological niche were turned on each other as the energy ran out from their too-successful energy-extraction efforts.

As the easy meat all died out, the more familiar hunter-gatherer culture developed. The bonobos are the only great ape culture where the females overcame the male penchant for violence. If humans are going to make it, women need to step up, and the freedom of industrialization is what is giving them the opportunity. That window of opportunity is also beginning to close, as we can see with the rapidly-disappearing American middle class, as energy-consumption per capita peaked forty years ago, and Peak Oil is becoming a reality. As Bucky Fuller said, it is a race between education and catastrophe.

The circus over Assange (who foolishly could not keep it in his pants – typical…):

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1788508.html

http://news.yahoo.com/assange-faces-...141256215.html

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-...anana-republic

is just one more sign of the times, and the West’s steep slide into barbarism that is becoming more evident every day.

Somewhere along the line, humans attained what we call sentience. At what stage did it happen? Did it really happen? The mystical stuff will say that we became ensouled. Ensouled or sentient, whatever term you prefer, humans became something different. Yes, sex and violence dominated, but there were other attributes. Emotions are also far from the sole province of humans. Many animals have easily-discerned emotional states. The leading theory on emotions is that they are states of feeling, not thinking, and all animals with emotions (which could well be all living things) seek positive emotional states (feel good), and they will do what they can to achieve them. It has been determined that many animals will find substances that make them high,

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_887849.html

http://www.cracked.com/article_17032...han-we-do.html

Animals will use their intelligence to achieve positive emotional states, and humans are no different, although the way that the Eastern masters do it is healthier, it seems.

My mystical material says that all emotions are aspects of love, and that humans are learning to attain that state, learning to become creators, as love is the power behind creation. Love and FE are joined at the hip in more than one way:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest

Just as there are no hungry philosophers, attaining the love state is not easy when people are on the brink of survival. The negative feedbacks of poverty and seeking temporary escape through drugs and other means, that spiral down into violence and other negative states, is obvious in the USA. Godzilla knows this well, which is a key reason why FE is kept under wraps the way that it is. Godzilla keeps FE under wraps for reasons of power, not economics. But economics is how he exerts control, by keeping the great herd on the edge of survival. In that nightmare world that Roads visited:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roadsblade

the Godzilla game was being played at the highest levels, keeping an entire planet immersed in misery. Of course, I am shooting for a different outcome:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1

and love and sentience are joined at the hip, and FE is how that world can manifest. When people say that we can have Heaven on Earth without tapping FE, it seems that they never ran the numbers. Low energy societies are never free, because energy is freedom:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#_edn5

And my upcoming posts are intended to begin to make that clear. The energy issue underlies everything else, and it has always been that way, clear back to when life first made its appearance on this planet, and even before that:

Hi ,

Wade, Your 'madness' is much appreciated and it probably has a method which is partly visible and understood and the rest will be revealed as time goes by.


About apes and humans:

Around ten years ago, I had some spare time while looking for a job and had the great fortune to volunteer and do some work at the nearest Safari Park. much to my delight I was accepted to work with the monkeys and apes as their caregiver, it was five months I will not easily forget.

I love animals. I find it easy to connect with them and I treat them pretty much as equals but not as identical. I was surprised how much similarity was between the behaviour of apes, especially the Gorilla's and the chimpanzees, to that of humans. The first few days were like arriving into a new class, I had to prove myself to them. their inteligence was overwhelming, and they (the chimpanzees) were throwing me some tests over and over again, not to mention that they were actually throwing everything that their hands could grasp (you don't want to know...) they waited to see my reaction. I could not help and laughed heartily, but I explained to them what I am ready and what I am not ready to accept. The chimpanzees showed some manipulative behavior and pretenses worthy of a child of six years old. during feeding time, where I could not yet tell who was who, it happened that I was giving an extra sandwich to one of them just because he was hiding his already recieved sandwich in his hand behind his back and demanded more with the other hand while he made some hungry facial expressions, pointed to his belly and asking " give it to me, give it to me". However, compared to the Gorilla's and Urang utangs they lacked sophistication, it is enough to look at the other nobel giants Straight in the eyes, to see that 'there is someone at home'. the male rullers were impressive looking and one can not feel but respect when connecting with them.

After months of volunteering I felt a deep emotional connection with them, they are operating in a collective behaviour as well as having individual characteristics. There was no need to convince me back then that the origin of man derives from apes. I remember classes of pupils from religious schools where the teacher explains that man is superior to the monkey and there is no genetic link between the two. I struggled to keep silence when observing the human need to separate itself from nature and the sense of superiority that accompanied it. There is one area in which the apes seem to be more developed than us and that is their strength as a tribe. each of them has a clear status and a role they need to play, if they are attacked from the outside they act together. unfortunetly, in a very similiar manner to us (or rather us similiar to them) they operate in a hierarchical structure that includes wars, boycotts and coup attempts against the male ruler, sometimes by one of his offspring who wish to succeed him. Thereforel, from all this, it is very easy to conclude that human beings (all the different types of Homos) are direct descendants from the apes, adding to that the almost complete genetical identity. However, personally, after I got to know a different reality than I thought our world consists of, I do not believe the Darvinian theory is the real story. keeping an open mind that our heritage might be something totally different alltogether is a key... genetic manipulations are performed by humans as we speak, where does it come from?

Originally posted by Wade Frazier: " If people want to invoke ET influence here, either genetically or culturally, they can, but White Scientists don’t go there, understandably, and their theories may be the right ones, and outside intervention may not need to be invoked to explain those epochal events in the human journey. The interventionist theories have little or no support for them, but are on the order of myths and legends."

I wouldn't like to invoke ET influence, for a couple of reasons, first, like Wade said, there is no substantiated evidence to suce claims, other then reliance on indirect material, mostly channeled, and sometimes in accordance with people's testimonies including some senior officials, also from clues drawn from the bible and other old writings. second, I understand the need to stick as closely as possible to the accepted scientific mindset on this thread, so, I am not here to vouch for any of the theories (as if I can.. ) my inner compass is telling me otherwise then those white science conclusions. Have we ever climbed down from the trees to the ground and did our brains developed into other uses? the later is possibly right. but who knows..


This is an interesting thread to follow. On the one hand there is the readiness to consider some 'esoteric' approaches, for example, the existance of Atlantis (no proof), past lives, expansion of consciousness, Micheal's material, Seth, guidance etc. on the other hand, there is an adherence to scientific speculation in presenting the human beings history. God forbid, I do not criticise, just making an observation. we are one leg here and one leg there... maybe it is a 'live demo' of another chapter in the chain of development of the human race. quite fascinating really!

Limor, that was such a beautiful post, thank you so much for sharing your story! It was such a pleasure to read. What an amazing experience to have had. Its interesting how you felt the chimps lacked sophistication compared to the Orangutan. Orangutan are such beautiful creatures.

This is Aman. He looks like a very special person.


Given the ample cheek flanges, it may be fair to assume he's the boss in his particular locale. But sometimes I like to think, given its resemblance to a satellite dish, that it enhances the reception of cosmic information (which is probably why I'm not a scientist.) Aman is apparently the first Orangutan to undergo a cataract operation. After the operation he reportedly moved around quite slowly, whilst getting used to his new eyesight, with his eyes focused on the rainforest around his enclosure. But sadly he is considered too big and too powerful to be released back into the wild. His name means "Peace." Last I read, he was living in the Matang Wildlife Centre in Borneo.

'Orangutan' is derived from words meaning 'person of the forest,' or 'forest person.' According to Wikipedia's info... 'the first attestation of the word to name the Asian ape is in Jacobus Bontius' 1631 " Historiae naturalis et medicae Indiae orientalis" - he described that Malaysians had informed him that the ape was able to talk, but preferred not to "lest he be compelled to labour." ' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orangutan#Etymology

According to a Natural World documentary, "For centuries the people of Borneo lived in awe of the red ape, of how it moved unseen through the forest, appearing at will. They believed Orangutans were beings of the spirit world..." ( 3mins54: http://youtu.be/DnGiz8Ns0-8 )

It would be nice to think that a power of invisibility was the reason we've recorded a dwindling in numbers. But it's no excuse for what we allow to happen to them. Hopefully a world of energy abundance would mean an end to the destruction of their habitat, and their personal oppression. A better world in which they choose our company, rather than so forcibly the other way around. The pet trade being hurtful like the hunting trade.

I feel strongly compelled when I see pictures of Orangutan, as if I really am looking at my long-lost family. But I'm not sure if I could organise a reunion.

They really are amazing people.

Earlier today I was listening to this lecture given by the now departed Douglas Adams (author.) He was talking about a variety of animals and how their behaviour can teach us about our own nature, survival and the influence of our environment. In the quote below he speaks about the concept of worrying, and the Kakapo bird...

"My favourite of all the animals we went to see was an animal called the Kakapo. The Kakapo is a kind of parrot. It's a flightless parrot. It's forgotten how to fly. Sadly it has also forgotten that it's forgotten how to fly. So a seriously worried Kakapo has been known to run up a tree and jump out of it. Opinion divides as to what next happens. Some people say it has developed a kind of rudimentary parachuting ability. Other people say it flies a bit like a brick. The thing is, when I talk about a seriously worried Kakapo, the fact is you're not likely to find a seriously worried Kakapo because kakapos have not learned to worry. Now, it seems an extraordinary thing to say because worrying is something we're all so terribly good at, and which comes so absolutely naturally to us, we think it must be as natural as breathing. But it turns out that worrying is simply an acquired habit like anything else. It's something you're genetically disposed to do, or not to do. And the thing is that the Kakapo grew up in New Zealand, which was, until man arrived, a country which had no predators. And it's predators that, over a series of generations, will teach you to worry. And if you don't have predators then the need to worry will never occur to you.... Now it's very very peculiar for us to try and understand this because we have never ever encountered an environment with no predators in it. Why not? Because we are predators and because, therefore, if we are in that environment it is a predator environment."

He goes on, in characteristically humourous fashion, to mention the underlying importance of energy to birds' evolution, the pitfalls of unsuccessful survival strategies, and how, when there's no predatory threat in an environment an animal can be less inclined to overpopulate. It reminded me of the topics that have been covered on this thread. Obviously, as humans, even if we are not worried about another species trying to devour us, there is the threat of shortages that preys on our existence, and makes us prey on each other. What Adams said seems to support the conclusion that if we could indeed share a universal experience of abundance, we would be less likely to overpopulate the planet, and less inclined to worry. An extraordinary new era of human experience. And a most welcome one.

Much later he goes on to talk about how in many ways technology has helped enhance our understanding of the world around us, but says sincerely: "There is a kind of terrible irony that at the point that we are best able to understand and appreciate and value the richness of life around us, we are destroying it at a higher rate than its ever been destroyed before... just because we’re burning the stuff down for firewood."

When an audience member asks him if we can help the situation by setting a higher price for gasoline to reflect the cost of its impact on the environment, he scratches his head and points out: "You look back over the history of what we in the conservation movement have said in the last 10 years and the previous 10 years... most of what we've said we have to do about it, or the ways we've gone about it, have actually turned out to be wrong."

Indeed. Time for a new idea.

Hey,

From my notes on evolution.....

The current earliest fossil evidence for anatomically modern ‘Homo sapiens’ is dated at around 200,000 years ago from fossils found in Ethiopia known as ‘the Omo remains’. In a 2005 article on the Omo remains, Nature magazine said that because of the fossils' age, Ethiopia is the current choice for the "cradle of Homo sapiens". The term ‘anatomically modern humans’ refers to early individuals of Homo sapiens with an appearance consistent with the range of phenotypes observed in modern humans. A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, behavior, and products of behavior. Phenotypes result from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and the interactions between the two. The emergence of anatomically modern humans marks the dawn of the subspecies ‘Homo sapiens sapiens’ - the subspecies of Homo sapiens that includes all modern humans.

Mitochondrial Eve is the woman from whom all living humans today descend. All mitochondrial DNA is generally passed from mother to offspring unaltered, so, all mitochondrial DNA in every living person is directly descended from hers by definition. The date when Mitochondrial Eve lived was estimated by determining the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of a sample of mtDNA lineages from women with diverse ethnicities all around the planet. Scientists current consensus estimate is that she lived around 200,000 years ago, most likely in East Africa. An exodus from Africa over the Arabian Peninsula around 60,000 years ago brought modern humans to Eurasia. By 20,000 years ago, modern humans had reached the Western margin of the continent. The mainstream view, known as the recent African origin model, holds that all or nearly all modern human genetic diversity around the world can be traced back to the first anatomically modern humans to leave Africa.

Humans and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) share over 99% of their DNA and lived alongside each other for tens of thousands of years. The nature of their co-existence and the extinction of Neanderthals has been debated. Suggestions include peaceful co-existence, competition, interbreeding, assimilation and genocide. The Qafzeh humans, seem to have co-existed with Neanderthals for up to 60,000 years in the Levant (the area encompassed by modern day Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Israel). There is also a theory that Neanderthals didn’t go extinct. They simply went where human weren’t and is where they currently reside. (Would you blame them?)

Early Neanderthals lived in the Last Glacial age for a span of about 100,000 years. Because of the damaging effects the glacial period had on the Neanderthal sites, not much is known about the early species. They disappear from the fossil record completely at around 25-30,000 years ago. The most recent supposed common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals dating from around 600,000 years ago is thought to be Homo Heidelbergensis. Neanderthals probably diverged from H. heidelbergensis around 300,000 years ago in Europe. The story for humans isn’t apparently so clear.

Neanderthals retained most of the features of H. heidelbergensis after its divergent evolution. Though shorter, Neanderthals were more robust, had large brow-ridges, a slightly protruding face and lack of prominent chin. With the possible exception of Cro-Magnon man, they also had a larger brain than all other hominids. Homo sapiens on the other hand have the smallest brows of any known hominid, are tall and lanky, and have a flat face with a protruding chin. H. sapiens have a larger brain than H. heidelbergensis, and a smaller brain than H. neanderthalensis, on average. There are large pelvic and torso discrepancies between Neanderthals and H. sapiens. To date, H. sapiens is the only known hominid with a high forehead, flat face, and thin, flat brows.

The Cro-Magnon were the first early modern humans (early Homo sapiens sapiens) of the European Upper Paleolithic. The terms "Late Stone Age" and "Upper Paleolithic" refer to the same periods. The earliest known remains of Cro-Magnon-like humans are radiocarbon dated to 43,000 years before present (It can be argued that Cro-Magnon existed much earlier because of the scant fossil record, perhaps as early as 200,000 BC or more). Large males may have stood as tall as 195 cm (6' 5") and taller. They also differ from modern day humans in having a more robust powerful physique and a slightly larger cranial capacity. The body was generally heavy and solid with a strong musculature. The forehead was straight, with slight brow-ridges and a tall forehead. Cro-Magnons were the first humans to have a prominent chin. The brain capacity was larger than the average for modern humans. They were like us but not us. Anthropologists think that the final transition from Cro-Magnons into modern humans occurred around 12,000 years ago. How this dramatic transition occurred has sparked plenty of speculation as has the sudden appearance of the first farmers.

By 10,000 BC the 'bottle gourd' plant, used as a container before the advent of ceramic technology, appears to have been domesticated. Cereal crops were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region. It was not until after 9500 BC that the eight so-called founder crops of agriculture appear: first emmer and einkorn wheat, then hulled barley, peas, lentils, bitter vetch, chick peas and flax. These eight crops occur more or less simultaneously on Pre-Pottery Neolithic B sites in the Levant, although the consensus is that wheat was the first to be grown and harvested on a significant scale. The first animals appear to have been domesticated around 9000 BC. Where did this sudden burst of knowledge come from? Knowing how to go about domesticating wild grasses, grains and cereals is no mean feat.

It has been theorized by some that all pre-human fossils dated before around 200,000 years ago, belong to the hominid fossil record – not ours. The prior 4 million or so years only contain fossils belonging to hominids very different to the first Homo Sapiens - too different to be considered part of our human ancestry. We are left with an apparently implausibly brief time for us to have evolved our much slighter frames and level of ‘intelligence’. This has led to speculation that we were actually created using a combination of genetic engineering and cross breeding with hominids (Neanderthals most likely) as a slave race to mine gold. Our creators, the Annunaki from planet Nibiru, genetically manipulated Neanderthals into Cro-Magnon, who then mated with the Annunaki to produce demi-gods, who over time mated with the ‘wild’ Cro-Magnons to become humanity as we know it. The Annunaki came from their planet Nibiru around 430,000 years ago.

The biblical great flood (dated at around 11,000 BC and rejected by orthodox science) at the end of the last Ice Age wiped out the ancient civilizations that had been established over millennia. Dramatic climate changes led to the melting of gigantic icebergs which could have crashed into the sea causing huge tidal waves that swept the globe leading to a considerable rise in sea levels. During the depths of the last ice age 18,000 years ago when hundreds of thousands of cubic miles of ice were stacked up on the continents as glaciers, the sea level was 120 meters (390 ft) lower than it is today. The destroyed civilizations were then gradually built up again over the next few thousand years. Around 2000 BC, a great power struggle between elite members of our creator being families broke out. This resulted in destruction once again following a series of nuclear exchanges. Shortly after this, the Annunaki decided that they had had their fill of fun on this planet, packed their bags, and went back to Nibiru around 200 BC.

I haven’t had time to do much other than simply familiarize myself with the alternative theories and bow to Wade’s judgment that very little of the evidence he encountered held up under scrutiny. Much of the ancient civilizations and creation theories are rooted in the work of Zecharia Sitchin and his translation and interpretation of ancient texts and ancient ‘myths’ and astronomical and scientific observations. The theories presented intrigue me but i’ve only just began to skim their surface and skimming the surface doesn’t cut it.

Some shallow digging based on Sitchen’s work and ancient civilizations recently took me to the mathematical calculations performed on the pyramids and structures on ancient sites around the world from people like Carl Munck. The numbers i’ve seen are mind bogglingly precise with astronomical considerations even factored in. That can’t be explained away easily, especially not when you consider that something as spectacular as the Great Pyramid was supposedly built using hemp rope and copper chisels by a bunch of dudes just out of the Stone Age who had yet to invent the wheel.

Here are some of the major feats of engineering undertaken to build the Great Pyramid (Cheop’s Pyramid):

1.130 granite blocks were transported from Aswan over 500 miles away. Each block weighed between 25 to 80 tons. The blocks were hauled up 210 feet to construct the King’s Chamber.
2. There are 3 chambers inside the pyramid. With extreme precision a passage was cut through the rock 345.2 feet long, 3.4 feet wide and 3.1 feet high, to reach the lowest chamber. Keeping the passageway at the correct angle of 26° 31'23" would require special precision tools..
3. Around 2.3 million stones of different shapes and sizes were used. This makes accurate building much harder. In spite of this, the Upper Chamber is perfectly horizontal and vertical. The builders got it right to with a 50th of an inch.
4. The structure has stayed in place through many earthquakes which flattened many surrounding structures.
5. The position of the pyramid is absolutely precise. It points north to within five hundredths of a degree.
6. The Great Pyramid actually has 8 sides, not 4. Building an eight sided pyramids is even more complicated than building a 4 sided one.
7. Egyptologists think the pyramid only took 20 years to build. There are over 2 million stone blocks in the pyramid. If they worked 12 hour shifts, 365 days a year, they’d have to quarry, carve, lift and fit one block every 2 and a half minutes.

Again, since the ancient Egyptians didn’t have wheels, iron, or steel, all this was achieved with simple copper chisels, hemp rope and stone mallets. It just doesn’t add up for me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheop%27s_pyramid

I keep looking then at pictures of the massive stones at Baalbek shaking my head. Three 800 ton stones cut, transported and maneuvered into place so perfectly it’s almost impossible to insert a needle between them and a further two stones are estimated at being 1000 and 1200 tons respectively. No archaeologist is explaining them stones away easily to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baalbek
http://www.eridu.co.uk/Author/Myster.../baalbek6.html

The precise manner in which megalithic stones are fit together is seen all across the globe. I’ve visited many of the sites, Tikal and Machu Picchu being the most impressive that i’ve seen so far. I’m going to check out some of the ancient sites built around Indochina over the next few months and then the Pyramids in Egypt. I’m very interested to see what it feels like in the King’s chamber.

I came across this place recently too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe
Primitive hunter gatherers with simple flint tools erected that place? I wonder.
The oldest known sphinx was found near Gobekli Tepe at another site, Nevali Çori, or possibly 120 miles to the east at Kortik Tepe, Turkey, and was dated to 9,500 BC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx#..._of_the_Sphinx

It’s very difficult to validate a lot of the fringe claims in these areas with plenty of conjecture and leaps of faith going on. Based on the available evidence I’ve seen so far from both the fringe and mainstream, neither camp has conclusively proved anything. At present it’s little more than a distraction from the biggest issue, Free Energy. Ancient History and human origins are interesting side shows but won’t get us any closer to heaven on Earth the way FE technology can. The holy grail remains FE.

AWP, my cheeks spread sideways while reading your post (though, not quite to the size of a satellite dish), and I love that you call the Urangutans -'people'. However, they asked me to tell you not to call them like that anymore.

Thank you for the Douglas Adams lecture, I find the combination of scientific facts and humor good for learning, and I will try to watch it later today.

There are clear similiarities between apes and humans, is that why we find them so Endearing? is it because we see ourselves in them? Is that why chickens do not receive such a loving treatment from us?


Hi David,

Interesting post. There are so many rationalizing done by science today that it is not actually possible to know whether the assumptions are correct or not. for example, the claims as if all people on earth are descendants of the 'mitochondrial Eve woman' is a guess , there could have been for example a multiple women, or a diiferent move altogether.

I am glad you brought up some alternative theories along the more mainstream views, and personally I resonate with your final conclusion that either theories are not backed up enough, even though mainstream science, in comparison, seems to be more established.

There is no doubt that science still needs to uncover a lot, and when it does, some things will make a lot more common sense. One of the problematics is that we, humans, tend to think in a linear way. we think up - down, we think yesterday - tomorrow, This might be why we don't get it. The thing with Avalon members is that we are looking to know more what's out there and we are fed up with what we've been told because it is no longer fits the world as we see it, However, I can see the need to package everything in a way that can be accepted and understood by us, and that is still the 3D way.

Wade's aim in this thread it to redirect our flow of consciousness accompanied by a deep understanding towards what you named as the " The holy grail - FE", I somehow feel that in order to understand the synthesis of what is going on in this planet, we can not allow ourself to rule anything out that might have a grain of truth in it. how it can be done is a totally different story, and I doubt if anyone has a figurative answers at this point

Hi:

Thanks for the posts, everybody. Nice to hear your story, Limor. I have a close relative who is a famous primatologist, who stayed at my house just last week. The story that I have heard her tell about great ape intelligence goes like this. If a tool is left by a workman in a cage and a gorilla finds it, when he realizes that he can’t eat it, he throws it aside. A chimpanzee will return the tool only when he gets food in exchange. When an orang finds the tool, the first thing that he does is surreptitiously look to see if anybody misses it.

Yes, I try to follow White Science as much as I can, especially where I feel that their story is the right one, or when the Fringe Science tale is wanting. Most so-called Fringe Science is not really valid. It is often called a pseudoscience, but I dislike the word, as I have seen it abused a lot by people such as Carl Sagan:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan

I understand the sentiment of calling something a pseudoscience, but I have also seen that lead to scientism, which avers that White Science has all the answers or all the tools to find out. Black Scientists laugh at those White Science assertions, and accomplished mystics know that there is a lot more to the world than White Science thinks, and Black Science is not so blinkered, although it is often used in the pursuit of evil. But as David says, the Big One, the one that really matters, is free energy. I know it all too well, I am sorry to say. Of all the Fringe Science issues, FE is the one that Godzilla watches the closest, and the rest of this series of posts should make it clear why energy is the linchpin that it is.

Hi David:

Nice evolutionary summation. I don’t consider myself a Sitchin scholar, but I am somewhat familiar with his work. It is similar in Velikovsky’s, in ways. There are no doubt many mysteries of early humans, but I really have not seen anything that held up, as far as invoking some extraordinary interventions, often ET in nature, to explain those events in our not-too-distant past. We know that evolutionary change can happen very quickly, especially when encouraged by selective breeding. Humans are experts at that selective breeding. Russian scientists domesticated the fox in only forty years, or about 35 generations (with pronounced effects seen in ten):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

It is now thought that many domesticated plants and animals were domesticated in only a relative few generations. Wheat may have been domesticated in as little as twenty years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolith...tion_of_plants

All over the world, amazing works in stone exist.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonemasonry

Most of them were made before metals were smelted. The precision of the Incan walls in elite venues is indeed impressive, but the stonework did not appear in a vacuum, but is similar to less sophisticated stonework all over the area:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_architecture

The best stuff was found in imperial sites such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu, but was only the best stuff, similar to how the most impressive architecture in the USA is found in either the imperial capital of Washington D.C. or in capitalistic headquarters such as New York City. Because the USA was founded as a secular state (the assertions of the Tea Party and other right wingers aside), the religious facilities in the USA have nowhere near the architectural grandeur that religious facilities in the Old World do.

Not only are the most impressive examples of Incan architecture in elite facilities, White Scientists have determined that the Incas were inspired by an older culture’s architectural feats:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiahuanaco

But because none of them had writing, today’s anthropologists are left scratching their heads at what it all meant. What White Scientists are finding out is that the New World civilizations were like Old World civilizations. People are people, everywhere.

In my lifetime, there were all sorts of mystical assertions that the Mayans and Anasazi “ascended,” as an explanation for why their civilizations disappeared. White Scientists have been putting the pieces of the puzzle together for many years, and the picture that has emerged is that both civilizations were doomed by droughts that lasted for generations about a thousand years ago. The Mayans had “water mountains” as large reservoirs to capture the water, because in the Yucatan the limestone ground allows water to go right through it. The Mayan civilization was built on water conservation, but they were not able to withstand fifty-year droughts. An agricultural surplus allows humans to have people freed from food procurement duties and the time to develop new skills. The Mayans developed advanced astronomical knowledge, and the alignment of their monumental architecture once puzzled anthropologists, but are now known to be aligned with sophisticated astronomical knowledge. Like in many other places, the Mayan monumental architecture could be mind-bogglingly impressive:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_the_Magician

But, it likely always primarily served the political goals of the elites:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_architecture

It is only in my lifetime that the Mayan writings have been deciphered, and they still can only decipher about 70% of it. Until then, the people of the Yucatan had many myths and legends around the vanished Mayan civilizations, and even White Science thought that the Mayans seemed to have been peaceful astronomers, and those New Agey ideas of ascension were dominant in their circles. As White Scientists eventually deciphered the Mayan writings, they told a familiar story of elites battling for dominance, who got the tribute, and so on. They were like people everywhere.

All early writings so far deciphered have been centered around the machinations of the elites and who got the tribute. The earliest writings were accounting for the tribute for the elite. They may never decipher the Incan quipu, but today it is acknowledged that Incan accountants invented them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quipu#Tawantinsuyu

So, if they ever figure them out, it is likely to be primarily accounting of elite tribute, as usual.

When I have looked into the mysteries of all the ancient stonework, some things they all have in common. The first is that only sedentary populations built them. The second is that there is plenty of stonework in those ancient civilizations, but the best was always for elite monuments, which usually was an act of elite self-aggrandizement. That dynamic is as old as history. The stones of the great pyramids in Egypt were not all laid out with breathtaking precision. The casing stones and the stones forming the inner chambers were indeed made with great precision, but that is where the best stonemasons did their work:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_P...Giza#Materials

Think of it like a wedding cake, with most of it made of flour and other ingredients, made in bulk and laid together without any artistry. The delicate artistry is used for the façade and the scene gracing the cake’s top. This is a standard scenario in architecture. The foundation needs to be made as close to perfect as possible, because it all sits atop it, the intermediate parts do not need to be super precise, but the parts built for show, or those needing precise craftsmanship, had the experts doing it. Today, the pyramids in Egypt are thought to have been built by professionals, not slaves, and the highest class of professional did the hard stuff like the casing and chambers.

There is still plenty of controversy over how they were built, but no White Scientist has had to invoke some kind of advanced-and-lost technology to explain their construction. The story the world over seems to be that the elites of all early civilizations had the need to create self-aggrandizing monuments, in order to justify their position at the top of the steeply hierarchical system (always rooted in energy scarcity ), and the leading edge of the day’s technology was used for those monuments. There is also evidence of engineering errors in the monuments, even the Great Pyramid, which were corrected, and the monuments were often reworked by subsequent elites, as we see in Mayan monuments:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_ar...ilding_process

The people who built all of those stone monuments had pretty much the same biological brains that we have. The more I look into the mysteries of those ancient stone monuments, the less mysterious they seem, as far as having to invoke advanced-and-lost technology. These were almost all made by Stone Age peoples who had not yet learned to smelt metal. Even the peoples who had metals at their disposal still made stone architecture, such as the Romans. Stone lasts, while metal does not, especially back then. They had not yet developed stainless steel.

Hi AWP:

Yes, one of the primary points in my narrative is that when White Scientists study ecosystems, evolution, and animal behavior, the energy issue is paramount. It is the framework that they all work within. The energy issue forms the foundation of all ecosystems. It also forms the foundation of all economic systems, and will do so while we still need to eat. We so-called modern humans lose sight of that all the time, and it is one of the primary reasons why I am doing what I am. I rarely find anybody who has much of an understanding of the energy issue, especially among non-scientists. People flip a switch and the light comes on, or they put their foot on the gas pedal and accelerate their automobiles, but they have almost no idea what made their little gestures so powerful. Scientists get it, because they have a need to understand why things work.

While White Scientists often have a good understanding of the nuts and bolts of how things work, they are almost incorrigibly naïve regarding how the world of people works, as Fuller observed:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive

which has partly to do with their indoctrination:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#nerd

I have been astounded by the naiveté of people like Carl Sagan. Brian O lost his naiveté the hard way:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack

as did I:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing

That just comes with the territory. In the FE milieu, naïveté can be fatal, which is why I always warn newbies who just want to rush out and make FE happen; they have literally no idea what they are getting into.

I have a busy day ahead of me. In the coming week, I plan to keep on with my little narrative. “Civilization” is coming soon.

Best,

Wade

hi Limor -- got knocked off the forum when i tried to reply this before

thank you for sharing your story & your insights, especially this one, from your post:

'I struggled to keep silence when observing the human need to separate itself from nature and the sense of superiority that accompanied it.'

i think this is the heart of the Human participation in the rape of planet Earth -- it seems that Humans are almost ashamed of being Earth mammals -- amazing animals, w/that erect spine, the chakras waiting to be activated & opened up to higher dimensions, & those great opposable thumbs, on this planet created to be a paradise, experienced thru the senses as well as the mind

i also see an agenda going on to continue this dislike of being a Human animal -- the massmedia [when i can't escape it] seems to be portraying very degrading images of Humans, & the 'Transhumanist' movement wants to turn us all into bio-robots -- on the newagey circuit, it is popular to say that 'all Humans are starseeds' -- agreed, but so is every flower, & every beetle

Hi ,

Wade, Your 'madness' is much appreciated and it probably has a method which is partly visible and understood and the rest will be revealed as time goes by.


About apes and humans:

Around ten years ago, I had some spare time while looking for a job and had the great fortune to volunteer and do some work at the nearest Safari Park. much to my delight I was accepted to work with the monkeys and apes as their caregiver, it was five months I will not easily forget.

I love animals. I find it easy to connect with them and I treat them pretty much as equals but not as identical. I was surprised how much similarity was between the behaviour of apes, especially the Gorilla's and the chimpanzees, to that of humans. The first few days were like arriving into a new class, I had to prove myself to them. their inteligence was overwhelming, and they (the chimpanzees) were throwing me some tests over and over again, not to mention that they were actually throwing everything that their hands could grasp (you don't want to know...) they waited to see my reaction. I could not help and laughed heartily, but I explained to them what I am ready and what I am not ready to accept. The chimpanzees showed some manipulative behavior and pretenses worthy of a child of six years old. during feeding time, where I could not yet tell who was who, it happened that I was giving an extra sandwich to one of them just because he was hiding his already recieved sandwich in his hand behind his back and demanded more with the other hand while he made some hungry facial expressions, pointed to his belly and asking " give it to me, give it to me". However, compared to the Gorilla's and Urang utangs they lacked sophistication, it is enough to look at the other nobel giants Straight in the eyes, to see that 'there is someone at home'. the male rullers were impressive looking and one can not feel but respect when connecting with them.

After months of volunteering I felt a deep emotional connection with them, they are operating in a collective behaviour as well as having individual characteristics. There was no need to convince me back then that the origin of man derives from apes. I remember classes of pupils from religious schools where the teacher explains that man is superior to the monkey and there is no genetic link between the two. I struggled to keep silence when observing the human need to separate itself from nature and the sense of superiority that accompanied it. There is one area in which the apes seem to be more developed than us and that is their strength as a tribe. each of them has a clear status and a role they need to play, if they are attacked from the outside they act together. unfortunetly, in a very similiar manner to us (or rather us similiar to them) they operate in a hierarchical structure that includes wars, boycotts and coup attempts against the male ruler, sometimes by one of his offspring who wish to succeed him. Thereforel, from all this, it is very easy to conclude that human beings (all the different types of Homos) are direct descendants from the apes, adding to that the almost complete genetical identity. However, personally, after I got to know a different reality than I thought our world consists of, I do not believe the Darvinian theory is the real story. keeping an open mind that our heritage might be something totally different alltogether is a key... genetic manipulations are performed by humans as we speak, where does it come from?

Originally posted by Wade Frazier: " If people want to invoke ET influence here, either genetically or culturally, they can, but White Scientists don’t go there, understandably, and their theories may be the right ones, and outside intervention may not need to be invoked to explain those epochal events in the human journey. The interventionist theories have little or no support for them, but are on the order of myths and legends."

I wouldn't like to invoke ET influence, for a couple of reasons, first, like Wade said, there is no substantiated evidence to suce claims, other then reliance on indirect material, mostly channeled, and sometimes in accordance with people's testimonies including some senior officials, also from clues drawn from the bible and other old writings. second, I understand the need to stick as closely as possible to the accepted scientific mindset on this thread, so, I am not here to vouch for any of the theories (as if I can.. ) my inner compass is telling me otherwise then those white science conclusions. Have we ever climbed down from the trees to the ground and did our brains developed into other uses? the later is possibly right. but who knows..


This is an interesting thread to follow. On the one hand there is the readiness to consider some 'esoteric' approaches, for example, the existance of Atlantis (no proof), past lives, expansion of consciousness, Micheal's material, Seth, guidance etc. on the other hand, there is an adherence to scientific speculation in presenting the human beings history. God forbid, I do not criticise, just making an observation. we are one leg here and one leg there... maybe it is a 'live demo' of another chapter in the chain of development of the human race. quite fascinating really!

Good story. Thanks Wade, it says it all, does'nt it? and your primatologist relative probably knows what she is talking about. Funny, after posting here today, I searched the net for any information about Mushon, the male leader (and celebrity) Urangutang which was under my care in the Safari and I found this small news item:

" Mushon, the Urangutang is known by the Safari staff as "Mushon refurbishment", due to his tendency to fix and repair things, which doesn't always make the employees very joyous: "He has good hands. Every time he broke the electrical current around the compound where he stays, so in the Safari this is the only region that is not electrically fenced"


By the way, I am having difficulties entering Wade's ' a healed planet' site. none of the above links are working, I am trying for the last hour and a half. I hope that its only my computure, but maybe someone else is willing to check this?

Hi Limor:

My host is having technical difficulties at the moment. They are rare and usually do not last long. We will see how long this one lasts. I actually had a similar problem accessing Avalon early this morning. The Internet is not without its glitches.

Sorry,

Wade

[Limor]

Animals can be nothing but themselvs, many humans can be inhumans (and do not always know themselvs). animals can not pretened ,humans do not know how not to pretend. most animals produce, human consume. It is already been said that man will find it very difficult to live up to animals standard.


-Thanks for the update, Wade. I will try again later.

Hi:

I only have a few minutes to make a post, and it will likely be a day until I can make another one.

It is today thought that humans did not make it to East Asia until about 70K years ago. It took another 20K years for humans to make it to Australia (they needed to be ocean-going by boat to get there). A huge volcanic eruption in Indonesia is thought to have wreaked havoc and altered evolutionary trends:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

An ice age was in full swing at the time. Migrating to places like the New World was unlikely. The evidence today is unequivocal that the American Indians migrated to the New World from East Asia, probably around 15K-20K years ago. There are many indicators, including biology, such as their teeth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxilla...isor#Variation

http://www.uic.edu/classes/osci/osci...Non-Metric.htm

Genetics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigen...ricas#Genetics

and other evidence. The orthodox theories today have the map of human migration out of Africa looking like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sp...mo_sapiens.svg

Just as the evidence is strong that humans caused the demise of the Australian megafauna, it is also very strong that humans did the same to the Americas when they migrated to it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...#North_America

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...#South_America

It is not arguable at all that humans did it when they migrated to uninhabited islands in the past few thousand years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatern...er_extinctions

That wave of extinctions followed wherever the humans appeared, as those animals provided the easy meat. It is likely that that “blitzkrieg” wiped out all of those animals before they learned to fear and avoid humans (and on islands, there was no place to run and hide). We can see that lack of fear today in the few places where animals never had humans around them, such the denizens of Galapagos Islands and the penguins of Antarctica. They are all incorrigibly naïve about humans. Even the recent methods used for studying the penguins appear to be killing them.

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/...s-researchers/

There are extinctions in recent history, such as how Europeans drove the Great Auk to extinction:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Auk

or the Passenger Pigeon:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Pigeon

which is a highly spectacular extinction. From flocks that turned day into night to extinction in little more than a century, in an industrializing USA; it is an awesome tally of destruction, even more impressive than the near-extinction of the American bison:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...-century_hunts

with its near-extinction used to help drive American Indians to extinction. When there were no almost no Indians or bison left, then “conservation” efforts began. I have a personal connection to the genocide of the American Indian:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas

But back to the Old World. Many Biblical events have been thought to be real, especially by Biblical literalists. The Jews were not the only people writing tales, and Egyptian, Sumerian and other writings exist, and they are primarily concerned with events that happened in the domestication phase of the human journey. The Old Testament was written from ancient oral histories, while the authorship of the New Testament is apocryphal.

Some of the most persistent accounts from the Old World mythology are tales of a flood, fires from the sky, and tales of Atlantis. In recent years, I have seen tales of a flood, sometimes combined with the sinking of Atlantis, in many places. One astronaut actually went looking for Noah’s Ark:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Irwin#Christianity

The creation of the Black Sea:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_theory

and the rising oceans of the Persian Gulf and Atlantic periphery:

http://www.livescience.com/10340-los...sian-gulf.html

are theorized to have deluged Atlantis, and there are literally dozens of theories on where Atlantis was and how it perished:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locatio...es_of_Atlantis

http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-theori...f-atlantis.php

Similarly, comets go back to the beginnings of history and before:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet#History_of_study

Many myths and legends likely have at least a grain of truth in them, but it is one of the most perilous areas of research, with many agendas impacting the situation. Velikovsky thought that the Bible was literally true, and even his followers saw a kind of fundamentalism in his perspective:

http://www.velikovsky.info/Fundament...damentalism.3F

I think that it is very difficult to look at ancient writings as literal truth. Myths and symbology abounded in all ancient civilizations, and taking them as being literally true is usually the path of folly, IMO. Genesis reads like a fairy tale, as do many Biblical tales. The Epic of Gilgamesh tells of fantastic travels beyond this plane:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh

which far predates the Bible. When modern NDE accounts confirm many old accounts of otherworldly experiences, I pay attention. What seems to be the case is that our immediate after-death environment is like the one we experienced while living, so the diversity in after-death accounts, as far as their specifics, have common themes that I consider to likely be true:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife

But none of it I consider a guide for action. At best, such tales are only useful if they help expand our sense of self, allow us to think more about being in touch with our hearts and intuition, and encourage us to pray/meditate more. That is the gold in that stuff, IMO, not trying to shoe horn George Bush the Second’s activities into some dire prophecy (although I understand the sentiment), or building a bunker because its 2012 (which is increasingly looking like merely being the year between 2011 and 2013, and all those who keep predicting mass ascensions and other events are being looked at more and more like Heaven’s Gate people:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%...eligious_group) )

All that prophecy stuff should be taken with a large grain of salt. What is important is what we do here and now, with what we have in front of us. FE and what can come with it is no myth to me. I know that it exists:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground

and I also know that very few people on Earth really do. Almost everybody who claims that they do, don’t. They are just trying to attract attention. Almost every week now, somebody claims to be some deeply-connected insider, with the usual claims of all the bad guys being arrested and the Space Brothers coming down to save us. Even if the thousandth time that we hear it, it is true, we should just ignore it and go about our business of making the world a better place. I will take the help, if it comes from the White Hats or the Space Brothers, but it is extreme foolishness to just sit around and wait for them to save us from ourselves. We need to do the work, and part of that is truly understanding how the world works, how energy has always powered life on Earth and all civilizations,

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#revolutions

and understanding effects that are far beyond what are obvious (such as how women’s status universally-increases in high-energy societies), and the obvious and subtle changes that are not only possible but highly feasible if FE makes it onto the public stage:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced

If the Space Brothers want to help, fine. If the White Hats want to help, fine. But I am not asking for their permission, and am doing what I can do, and looking for others who want to sing along.

Choir practice will be beginning before too long.

I hope to make some good posts this coming week, but it is going to be a busy one.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Sorry, but I am a little strapped for time right now. I have been getting in my fair share of hiking, however. Attached are a couple of pics from the past two weekends.

I am currently reading a rather breezy book on humanity taking conscious control of evolution, but it is by one of Brian O’s colleagues, so I am plowing through it. In those two future Earths that Roads visited:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads

they both genetically-engineered life forms, and I imagine that humans received some of that treatment even in the heavenly world. But intention is everything. Nobody should trust genetic engineering performed in profit-making enterprises. Capitalism is born of scarcity and its resultant greed. There are too many activities that are too delicate, perilous, and important to be enacted under the auspices of greed. Free energy and medicine are two more of them. Humanity is already learning those lessons the hard way, with people dying in unspeakable agony at the hands of Western “medicine” because they are profitable to keep alive so that the medical establishment can keep inflicting expensive medical procedures on them:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system

I consider the medical system to be like the legal system: if you get on their turf, they win, and winning does not have much to do with your health or justice, and you will sometimes see it openly admitted:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care

Off to work now.

Best,

Wade

[sandy]

Thanks for the pics Wade,

We do still have some Paradise/Heaven right here on Earth

P.S. Just saw in my forum travel a Breakthrough Energy Movement International Conference, Nov. 9,10,11 in the Netherlands and what thrilled me the most about this Conference is that it is dedicated to Dr. Brian O'Leary

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Sandy:

A white woman named it Paradise after seeing the meadows in bloom:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise,_Washington

The Indians called it “the land of peace.”

http://travelated.com/virinda-and-the-valley

John Muir said that it was the best he ever saw, and I won’t disagree.

Your mention of that conference dedicated to Brian’s memory was kind of timely. I have a few pals in the ranks of those speakers/advisors, but some were also people who Brian felt betrayed him or attacked him. I have been invited to be a part of stuff like that, but I need to do my own thing. I wish them the best, and all in all, a conference like that could be a good introduction to the issues, but none of the speakers that I know and know of have been through the FE meat grinder. That is where the learning curve steepens.

I was already planning to make a post today relating to a book that I just finished by another one of Brian’s former colleagues, from the New Age side of the house. What I have seen over and over is that scientifically illiterate people, even so-called visionaries, rarely have much understanding of the energy issue, and particularly the reality on the ground today. My upcoming essay will have diagrams in it, which I hope will help convey the reality. I was just looking at a chart by that visionary, and energy is not even a spoke on the wheel of the paradigm shift that author hopes to initiate, but some subset of science/technology, which is just another spoke on the wheel, where culture/media is a spoke and government/law is another spoke, as is “economy.” That betrays great ignorance of how the world works. All human efforts have always flowered from the economic reality, which has always been rooted in energy. The author mentioned energy a few times in passing, but not even a whiff of recognition that organized suppression, much less Godzilla, exists. Nobody is being offered a billion dollars to go away in New Age circles, or playing the money game, the “protest” game, or even the alternative medicine game. FE is the big one, and Godzilla knows it all too well. That very few others understand that issue is one of the greatest advantages that Godzilla has. When he sees “radicals” and “visionaries” who can’t bring themselves to even mention FE’s possibility and potential, much less the organized suppression, he may consider them his allies, and some may well be.

FE is the big one; everything else is a sideshow at best, and a rabbit hole to a dead end at worst.

I’ll be getting back to the human journey in the next posts.

Hi:

OK, back to the human journey. I want to back up a little bit and make something clearer than I might have made it before. Other than the chemosynthesis that powered the first ecosystems:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post519314

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post516792

and powers some marginal ecosystems today, such as those same vents and geysers, sunlight powers all ecosystems. When photon energy is captured by photosynthesis, it is like taking water and raising it to the top of a waterfall:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...all#post534214

In life forms, the water does not immediately fall to the bottom, but can be likened to dozens of smaller falls that eventually get the water to the bottom. With every small fall, energy is released and is no longer available to the life form. But every organism has structure, and that structure is made by welding together atoms with that captured energy. So, instead of using that energy to run a biological process, the energy is instead used to fuse atoms together to form a protein, a cell wall, an eyeball. Life invests its energy in building and maintaining its structure. When a forest is young, let’s say as it grows after a forest fire released all of its stored structural energy, most of the energy that is captured is used to build tree flesh, not to run biological reactions. As a forest matures, with the biggest trees dominating, most of the energy is used to run the biochemistry, not build tree flesh.

Capturing sunlight is called an endothermic reaction, as it absorbs energy. Burning wood is called an exothermic reaction, as it releases energy. Our warm-bloodedness is due to exothermic reactions that heat us up. As I stated before, how warm-bloodedness came to be is controversial:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post528765

but what warm-bloodedness allows us to do is have enzymes (those energy-boosting molecules)

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post521326

operate in their optimal temperature range. A warm-blooded animal is turbo-charged compared to a cold-blooded one, and it takes a great deal of energy to maintain a warm-blooded animal today – dozens of times what a cold-blooded animal needs. Because the world has been growing colder for 40 million years or so:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post532053

as carbon dioxide levels have been declining, warm-bloodedness is a great advantage. Reptiles did not have to be warm-blooded when Earth was warmer, so the warm-blooded animals of today are far more energy-taxing on the ecosystems than when animals were primarily cold-blooded. Scientists have begun to suspect that Earth’s biomass was far greater long ago, and biomass may have peaked about 500 million years ago (See Ward’s The Medea Hypothesis, p. 108).

After the greatest extinction event ever, one species took over the terrestrial ecosystems. It was the equivalent of a reptilian sheep:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lystrosaurus

When a species takes over or thrives after a catastrophe, it is called a “disaster species”:

http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/37/10/875.abstract

Humanity is the greatest disaster species of all time, and it created its own disasters, beginning with harnessing fire. Brush fires and forest fires are ecosystem catastrophes. While lightning has meant that fires have been a fact of life from the beginning of land-based ecosystems, humans were the first species to make and control fires. Ecosystems have adapted to the reign of humans, and some plants depend on fire, but when the human blitzkrieg hit Australia about 50K years ago:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...eds#post539260

all of the megafauna was quickly driven to extinction, and it is thought that human-created fires were the agency of that megafaunal catastrophe. The Australian aborigines were not the prolific hunters that eventually spread throughout Eurasia and then the Western Hemisphere. Because the Great Leap Forward happened during a glacial period, it is thought that humans could not migrate to the Western Hemisphere at that time. They only began migrating when the ice sheets receded enough to allow passage. There is little-to-no doubt that the New World’s natives came from East Asia.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...eth#post541370

They had the sophisticated toolkit of the late Paleolithic, with sewn clothes, sophisticated stone tools, and the social organization that made them the all-time super-predator on Earth. Nothing could withstand those clever apes. In only a few thousand years, all of the Western Hemisphere’s megafauna was rendered extinct. Virtually all of the largest animals that survived the arrival of humans in the New World migrated from Asia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wor...#North_America

with the curious exception of the bison. The hunter-gatherer lifestyle was greatly successful, too successful. By 10K years ago, the continental mass extinctions were complete. All the easy meat was gone, and humans became increasingly violent as territories shrank and the easy meat was gone.

For those who want to invoke an ET or inter-dimensional interventionist model, here is another logical place to make the case, because the domestication of plants and animals happened, independently, in numerous places on Earth: the Fertile Crescent, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Mesoamerica, South America, and Africa. There is evidence that it began in the Levant nearly 20K years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolith...ntine_Corridor

and the others did not happen all at the same time, but each happened after the easy meat ran out. Necessity was the mother of invention, and virtually all candidates for domestication were domesticated. About the same time that plants were domesticated, animals were, too. Similar to plants, only some animals made for good domestication candidates. They were nearly invariably social animals that lived in herds and packs, where humans took over the dominant social position. Because of the blitzkrieg that exterminated almost all large animals, the New World’s peoples did not have many candidates for domestication, which eventually had great consequences.

While the Domestication Revolution was an outcome of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle being too successful, it was not an easy transition by any means. The skeletons of early farmers were several inches shorter than the hunter-gatherers that preceded them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolith...#Social_change

People become short like that due to caloric restriction. They did not get enough energy to grow to their biological optimum. The Domestication Revolution is the result of humanity’s first global energy crisis. Many changes attended the Domestication Revolution, not all of them salutary. When a person’s possessions amounted to what he/she could carry, materialism was not feasible. Personal possessions were not all that important in those hunter-gatherer days. There were no social hierarchies, or the social hierarchy that existed was exceedingly simple and modest when compared to what followed it. When everybody was mobile, conflicts were settled by violence or fleeing. The hunter-gatherer could just move on to avoid conflict. When a farmer was anchored to his crop in the ground, there was no place to flee to. The “sitting duck” farmer became the foundation of civilization.

A stationary energy supply led to many social changes. One was that the most clever and violent began to exploit those sitting ducks, and elites were born. Elites served no necessary social function; they took over simply because they could. Humans have a herd-animal heritage, going back to monkeys, and the social organization of the great apes provides insight into our social past.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...lla#post537104

The early elites were all male, and the “big man” mode of elitism can still be seen in the islands off of Southeast Asia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_man_(anthropology)

Monkeys and apes groom each other:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_grooming

and primate grooming is seen as a social act, providing “social cohesion” in the society. Humans also groom each other, but it is thought today that the human equivalent of grooming in our primate cousins is gossip:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip#Evolutionary_View

It is a relatively new area of research, so we will see what findings come out over the years, but the argument that gossip allows for social cohesion in larger groups than grooming can afford is not easily dismissed.

Back in the 1990s, when I began the research that I did that became my site, I encountered a lot of radical feminist work, and it influenced me. A big goal of radical feminists was to find an era when women and men were equal. They kind of hung their hat on the social organization of the village, and I can see why. When Europeans began invading the New World, they mostly encountered the village form of social organization. It was only when they stumbled into the stratified civilizations of the Aztecs and Incas that the Spanish lust for gold and silver could be temporarily sated:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest

The Mississippian culture, that Europeans probably never saw intact:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippian_culture

probably because of climate change and overtaxed environments (and European disease and conquest wiped out the remnants), contained the only urban societies in North America. Most of what Europeans encountered were villagers who lived in agricultural communities, and women usually had high status in them, although anthropologists have never found a truly matriarchal society (except for bonobos ).

Over the years, as my anthropological studies deepened, I have come to realize that the idealization of village life is just that. It was a brief phase between the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and the urban one, and while women had relatively high status in village life, it was relative. Life was hard in villages, with the plantings and harvests being the center of existence, and one bad harvest wiped out a village. Villages existed because their political-economy was not subject to greater economic concentration by elites into urban empires. Wherever the opportunity presented itself, elites created mechanisms which gathered the agricultural surplus from the hinterland over wide areas, and civilization was born. It was pure economics, which relied in turn on the energy surplus provided by domesticating plants and animals.

Also, in every one of the early civilizations, the elite men got preferential breeding privileges, as the “royalty” all had harems. All early civilizations the world over had that in common. Also, early civilization was the beginning of organized religion, as the religions attributed divine status to the elites, to justify their position. Those exploited sedentary populations were then drafted into building monumental architecture that further aggrandized the elites. It happened independently wherever the economics was amenable to being exploited by the elites. As early anthropologists saw that the same dynamics developed independently in New World cultures as happened in Old World cultures, the case began to be made for human nature being responsible (see Wilson’s Consilience, pp. 163-164.). It is hazardous to attribute those developments to human “nature,” but human biology and the economic reality obviously was the lynchpin. In societies based on the labor of peasants and other non-elites, women became valuable commodities as they bred laborers. Consequently, the status of women universally declined with the advent of urban civilization. The agricultural surplus also freed people to develop new skills, and professions were born. Prostitution has been called the world’s oldest profession, but it only developed with the advent of civilization:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_prostitution

Women were not the only class that suffered with the advent of civilization, but slavery also appeared at the same time:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery

Professional soldiers, craftsmen, and priests also appeared. It was all built on the back of the peasants and slaves who produced the agricultural surplus, with the semi-captive women providing the laborers. Ideological indoctrination was definitely in full sway in those days, as the populace was conditioned to worship the elites and accept their lesser status, but only a standing military could enforce that social order. The greatest adversaries of the ruling classes have always been their subject populations. Megalomania knows no bounds, so the elites were always looking to expand their power, and in a world of scarcity, the society played along. If you wanted to eat, you played along. The Fertile Crescent has been the scene of rising and falling empires for several thousand years, as they battled each other for supremacy, and it was always an economic game at its root.

I have to run to work, but there are many dynamics to sketch with the advent of civilization. In Marxian terms, the mode of production and social organization changed radically with the advent of civilization. The environmental impacts were pronounced, as humans wrung ever more energy from the environment. Wiping out competing predators was part of it. Deforestation and desertification attended the advent of civilization, especially when humans learned to smelt metals. Chopping trees down is not easy with stone tools, and plowing the ground was virtually impossible without metal plows and draft animals to pull them. But in those early days of civilization, the energy surplus was tiny compared to what was coming:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart

Every early civilization lived and died on the harvests, and with the exploitation of agricultural labor forming the foundation of the societies, all human civilizations bred to the capacity of the energy systems, which Malthus eventually observed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_catastrophe

The collapse of civilizations is a constant over the human journey, as they ran out of energy:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#tainter

The basic dynamic was running out of food, whether it was due to climate change, natural or human-induced, desertification of the land due to deforestation and agricultural practices, or something else like a crop or domestic animal disease. In the end, there was not enough energy to sustain the civilization, and it collapsed.

Going to work now.

FE is the big one, and Godzilla knows it all too well. That very few others understand that issue is one of the greatest advantages that Godzilla has.

Wade

Well said - message received and completely understood. I had long felt FE to be the super disruptive big issue and your remarks are a resounding confirmation for me.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Ixopoborn:

Thanks for your understanding. That is one of the key parts of my message, which I learned at a great personal cost. I feel a great responsibility to get the message across to as many who can hear it, and you might be amazed at how few really can or are willing to try. Today I was flitting through various pieces of information, seeing what some people are up to. I read one of Heinberg’s latest musings:

http://richardheinberg.com/peak-denial

He is the quintessential Level 3:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3

Really good Level 3s will actually visit Level 5 for an instant, with a reaction that goes something like this:

“Free energy is impossible, and tales of its suppression comprise a wacky conspiracy theory, but if free energy was real, it would be the absolute worst thing for humanity, as we would quickly destroy the planet with it, so I am really happy that free energy is impossible and a crazy idea. Oh, and we have to get rid of six billion people in the near future because we are going to run out of energy. Any volunteers?”

And people like Heinberg have dominated the “progressives” on the energy issue for a decade, while Brian O was completely shut out. It is surreal.

Coming soon on my human journey story is where I step back for a minute and see if my narrative can square with the mystical stuff. I think that a lot of it can, and a lot of it seems diametrically opposed to it. It is not easy to look at our past dispassionately and have much confidence that we will turn the corner as a species, but maybe we will. I know this; we will not turn the corner by luck. There is a lot of work to do, but it is mostly work in our hearts and minds. Folding a mystical perspective into that stuff can be quite a chore, but I have found that it cannot really be much of a guide for action, other than remembering to act from the heart.

Just today, I was reading this:

http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed...shadow-markets

and it sure brought back the memories:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#darker

The scam in that book is almost exactly what we were approached with, including, I believe, that gold in the Philippines:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama****a's_gold

I have written plenty about 1986, when I met Dennis:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting

The year began with me feeling trapped in LA, rescuing a hooker,

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/sear...archid=5161050

and listening to that voice that led me to Dennis.

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2

The year ended with me living in Boston, and then my ride got really wild.

As I look back, 1996 might have been an even more preposterous year. It began with me reaching the end of my rope in my job:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#_edn1

just as Dennis began doing his barnstorming tours, and I was shocked at the size of his Columbus show.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post422926

I then flew to New Jersey one weekend to help design Dennis’s accounting system, as he was beginning to take off again. I never heard about the billion dollar offer that Dennis received:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer

until I heard him talking about it at his Cleveland show that summer. I would have been a beneficiary of that bribe, but I understand why Dennis did not share the information with me. We have never discussed it.

I did not agree to work for Dennis again until after the Philadelphia show. We took Yull to meet with Al Gore at the White House right after the show, and we heard that Clinton hated Dennis:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull

Soon after I came to his company, in December 1996 I read that letter from our phone company, where they contacted us after the two Justice Department gag orders expired, after they subpoenaed our phone records. It was around the same time that we were approached by that sovereign nation, which was complemented by those Christian radicals that hooked up with Dennis, who claimed to have the trillion dollar trust. I tried to verify some of the bizarre stuff around it, and I talked to several dealers and others and the trustee who said it was legit. Either there were more in on the sting operation than I thought, or a bunch of people were drinking the Kool-Aid of that scam. There is also a lot about that year that I cannot talk publicly about, but if you heard it all, it would be pretty unbelievable.

2006 was another significant year on the FE front, and it also marked the end of my midlife crisis:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#crisis

All I can say is that 2016 is coming soon, and I can hardly wait.

I really have to get more done at the office right now, so I will slow down a little on this human journey narrative.

Best,

Wade

[sandy]

Hi Wade,

2016 Retirement ? Free Energy Released ? Masses wake up due to economic collapse or geologic catastrophe ??? Maybe all three

[Limor]

The first two and a half should be fine, Sandy.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Well, Sandy and Limor, beats me what is ahead, but those 2.5 ones seem fine with me, if my retirement is not one of homelessness. If we don’t get FE, I need to work for at least another ten years, and I’ll be busy until my heart stops beating. Too much to do…

I don’t have the time this morning to do justice to the subject, but here is a brief snippet on key events in the development of Western civilization. The Fertile Crescent is considered the cradle of civilization. When the USA invaded Iraq, it purposely destroyed almost all of Iraq’s institutions, except for the oil ministry, which it zealously protected:

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/...172643895.html

Iraq has not suffered like this since the Mongol hordes. Sumer was in modern-day Iraq, and is where the earliest writings are found:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer#Language_and_writing

The earliest writings the world over were accounting, counting up elite tribute. Accounting is one of the world’s oldest professions, and unfortunately has plenty in common with that alleged oldest of professions.

Symbology is where reality is depicted by an artifice. Art is symbology, writing is, money is. Since the beginnings of symbology, people have tended to mistake the symbol for reality. Symbols are not reality; they only hint at it. Literalism is mistaking the symbol for reality. When most people think of economics, they only think of the symbol: money. Since the beginnings of ideological indoctrination, one of the most effective sleights of hand by elites is getting people to believe that the symbols are reality, and then they manipulate the symbols, and hence people’s minds. All of those scarcity-based dominant ideologies work that way:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant

Organized religion is one of the first instances of using symbology to manipulate people’s minds. As usual, all the manipulation had an economic goal, to amass and maintain power. Back when villages began to give way to states in the Fertile Crescent, the agricultural peoples in river valleys had feminine, Earth-based religions. On the margins of the river-valley civilizations, particularly in the steppe region, ungulates were domesticated, especially sheep, cattle, goats, and horses. They generally grazed on grass, where trees could not grow (water and elevation limit where trees can grow). Humans replaced the dominant animals in those herds and took control. Early animal husbandry was done for the meat, skin, and in the case of sheep, wool. The horse, however, became uniquely important, because humans could ride them. The cattle-herder on horseback is one of history’s stereotypical images. Cattle were domesticated more than ten thousand years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle#..._and_husbandry

but the horse not until much later, around six thousand years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse#Domestication

About eight thousand years ago, human evolution enabled some of those cattle herders to digest lactose past infancy. Those humans were the first animals on Earth that developed that ability, and it became a huge economic advantage. Those pastoralists that could digest the milk of their animals greatly increased their energy production. Raising cattle for milk generates five times the energy per acre as raising them for meat. And when the horse was domesticated, a new culture evolved, based on milk and the mobility of the horse.

Those pastoralists developed a culture around a male, sky-god religion, their horse-borne warriors, and the herders (cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep) who also raised crops like wheat. They became warrior societies that rustled each other’s herds for thousands of years, but then they began to invade the river valleys around 5-6K years ago, and spread from the Balkans to India. Those invaders brought their language and religion with them, overthrowing the feminine religious symbols with male ones, and their languages, the Indo-European languages, are spoken by about half of humanity today (I wrote about some of this long ago (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#masculine ), and the linking of milk-digestion and the advantages it conferred to the pastoralist warriors are in Cochran and Harpending’s The 10,000 Year Explosion).

Those herders with their milk-drinking ways invaded far and wide, and especially conquered Europe. In Northern Europe, the ability to digest milk reaches nearly 100% of the population. In East Asia, the New World and Australia, where they did not maintain herds, East Asians, American Indians, and Australian aborigines cannot digest lactose:

http://www.foodreactions.org/intoler...revalence.html

and those few who do likely have some “white” blood in them, as those European men conquered the world. The digestion of cattle milk also independently happened in Africa in the Upper Nile, and on the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs developed the ability to digest camel milk, which may have helped spread Islam.

As those Indo-Europeans invaded Europe, something else happened about six thousand years ago: the evolution of white skin. The white skin also went with light colored eyes and hair in Europe. It is thought to be related to the ability to synthesize vitamin D where there is less sunlight (another energy-related adaptation).

Those are big subjects that I just brought up, and are highly charged, as they touch on race, religion, and Europe’s conquest of the world. Scientists, however, are trying to engage these issues without all of that baggage and examine the energetic, genetic, aspects of it. The authors of The 10,000 Year Explosion finish their book by examining how Ashkenazi Jews (the ones that ended up in central Europe) became so smart. They have the highest IQs of any ethnic group, with a median of about 112. With the bell-shaped IQ distribution, it meant that there are ten times the geniuses in the Ashkenazi Jew population as in the “average” population. The theory is that they were restricted to the professions that they could be in, due to local discrimination, so they became bankers, accountants and business managers, which required complex, abstract thinking. Also, the Ashkenazi Jew culture discouraged intermarrying with the local population, so they kept their gene pool “pure.” The audacious recent theory is that about eight centuries of that genetic isolation and restriction of profession spurred an evolutionary change that made the Ashkenazi Jews the world’s smartest people, where they are highly over-represented in math and science, Nobel Prizes, etc., at about ten times the frequency of the general population.

The other Jewish diaspora populations did not get that intelligence boost.

Again, my experience is that true sentience begins in the heart, not the head, so all of that intelligence does not mean that those Ashkenazi Jews had some spiritual advantage. For every Albert Einstein was an Edward Teller. Those guys are not hanging out in the same part of the astral plane. Brian O and Carl Sagan also probably aren’t.

The above highly-charged subject matter has a lot of relevance to where I think we can go. We do have to get a lot smarter if we are going to turn the corner, but it begins in the heart. The average child in this reality:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1

probably has an IQ of over 200, on today’s scale, but love made it all possible, especially the love that manifested itself in the FE that powers their civilization.

Time to run off to work.

Best,

Wade
