    Crop Circles Theme - Marcus Viana

    I am fascinated with the "Crop Circles" and its mysterious code to be deciphered by us. The Sacred Geometry present in every artistic and scientific achievement of Humanity is there, drawn from the heights by "somebody" using some kind of laser that does not incinerate, only carves in the fields of mature cereals, ready for the harvest ... It´s pure music! they appear from the night to the day attracting crowds of scholars who try to decipher the riddle of their symbols ... I used here virtual synthesizers and electric violins in the creation of this theme with a technologic air, to accompany these images harvested all over the world.





    Amazing crop circles footage (Mysterious)

    The future of humanity - McKenna, Abraham, Sheldrake
    (1:39:57 hrs.)

    "Predicting the future is seldom a sure thing but that didn''t stop Rupert, Ralph and Terence in this trialogue at Esalen back in '92. Many of the issues they discuss remain unresolved today, long past the turn of the millennium and 2012.

    What is the nature of the political and social world that we should construct for ourselves and for our children? The problem of future-phobia within our society. How can society be reconstructed and improved? The crisis in values in our society. The incompatibility of capitalism and democracy. The need for intervention. Rethinking the notion of freedom. Could the idea of the eschaton be working against change? The need for leadership with positive guiding visions. Where will the new positive vision come from? What could trigger the next major shift? The return to local communities. A native peoples' intervention. The danger of pretending that catastrophe is not probable. What kind of miracle could help avert catastrophe? The need for mathematical models to aid environmental and economic interventions.

    Electronic feudalism. Terence's view on and the fractionalisation and feudalisation of the world. The dangers of materialism. The need for the empowerment of women worldwide. The resurgence of shamanic practice. The need for social transformation and a vision on the mythological level. A way to achieve zero population growth. The psychedelic revival in England. The need for a collective vision quest. Entheogens and religion. The post-catastrophic world society. Crisis will force change. What is the true mission of humanity? Questions and answers: The eschaton as eraser of boundaries. 2012."

    Consider the following, ‘creative prose’, from an ordinary visionary sharing a vision:

    We came here (this reality, now) to take (a) part.

    Looking in, everything seemed so irresistible, no strings attached. The catch, it seems, is one in which the strings go unseen until its much too late. Some strings are more obvious than others. Even those yet seen, they all have their draw.

    The strings have been (here) in what seems like forever. It is damn near impossible to image without them. Where do the strings begin and where do they end? (or so we thought)

    Well, but then again, that is a string-a-long as well.

    Aye.

    Here is a time related idea I never considered before…. Say the knowledge/ ability exists to travel back and forth through a/ the time continuum but that a loss of a good size of memory including the jump itself occurs.

    It seems the ‘jumper’ would experience the present just like anyone else does (ie the common perception of time that surrounding people report experiencing).

    In short, theoretically you or I could be an amnesiac time traveler. Not much use in the present tense unless those memories return with clarity.

    I am reminded of the quote: “Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
    ― Werner Heisenber

    I imagine that all sounds like science fiction (with emphasis 'fiction') to many, and I get that, but consider our modern world to those in the not so distant past as they would find many of our current devices as something straight out of science fiction. I can just see a person from the future describing something and the thoughts and words go something along the lines of…”Impossible!

    Soooo…what IS “science fiction” really?

    Love these words from Clare Dubois, founder of the charity TreeSisters. Thought I would share them. Lifted from this video : https://www.facebook.com/treesisters...4140922114646/

    “It's part of who I am to ensure that this world is woven back together by the roots of the trees. By my love, and our love, entwined with the roots of the trees.” […] “How can it be normal to take and abuse and consume and dominate, and not care? How can that be normal? How can that be an expression of our hearts? It's not. That's not who we are. It's not us in our beauty, it's not us in our magnificence, it's not us in our generosity. It's not us in our care. It's not even us in our common sense. That's a brainwashed disconnected state that is the lowest form of what it means to be human. We are not selfish. Not deep down. We are so loving. We're so craving of intimacy and belonging, and that intimacy and belonging is our birthright as part of this world that we are made of. We're made of this world. She's miraculous. She's astonishing. She's exquisite. And she's perfectly formed. Perfectly formed to create life.”




    love and gratitude

    == Post Update ==

    P.S. I followed the link in EFO's reply (below) to this post.

    The link was all that was posted (other than quoting my post), and it was a picture with text that read :

    “GREENWASHING :
    Spending more time and money claiming to be “green” through advertising and marketing rather than actually implementing business practices that minimize environmental impact.”

    It's a shame if that's all anyone gets from the quote I typed up, or the video. If anyone knows something about TreeSisters' practices as a charity that they'd like to share, it would be useful to prove it in detail (that would be informative) rather than make a vague smear. Or if they think it's me that's virtue signalling perhaps they could state that instead. There's always a risk when you share loving words that people will think you, or the person you're quoting, are inadequate. But if we hide our true feelings, for fear someone may deem them disingenuous, then we only become victims of another's fear.

    Personally, I found those words from Clare to be heartfelt and genuine. And I was only trying to share some goodness.

    Much love to all
