Hi:
As usual, I have been working far too hard lately. This kid is getting worn out. Yesterday, I had a nice, long talk with Mr. Professor’s widow. His involvement in my adventures wrecked and shortened his life:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
and he went to his grave happy that he could help. I find myself thinking a lot of Brian O these days, and how his life was another sacrifice to the cause, his life shortened by running afoul of the evil-minded people who run things:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
He died happy. I think of Dennis’s journey, which I still find hard to believe at times, and I was there for the darkest chapters of it. The blood of the saints soaks the soil of this milieu. As I think what I have been through and what I am trying to do, the gravity of it impresses itself on me sometimes, as I grow old. This is what I spent my life on. It was certainly no path to anything resembling worldly success, but it has been a path that I somehow survived. As I can see the end of my life on Earth coming before too many more years pass, the price of my path sometimes makes me think.
Are we really worth it, as a species? Should I take up drinking again and just try to eke out my last days, hoping that I meet my maker before it really hits the fan on this planet? There are days when I wonder. But the questions don’t last long. I know that I poured my life into doing this, while the masses are completely oblivious, praying for their lottery numbers to come up while they punch the clock. I will soon be taking the last break of my career, to spend most of it shining up my calling card, the card that might just cost me my life. Sometimes I wonder about my sanity, doing this. All the millions that I passed up, all the life’s experiences that my peers take for granted that I will never know, such as having a family. That voice in my head has a lot to answer for. But, if I had it to do over, would I do it again? I think so. But would I recommend that path to anybody else? No way, not unless people want to throw their lives away on what can sure seem like lost causes.
There are only so many years in a lifetime, and only so many hours in a day, and I have spent my most productive ones on this gig. Some days, as I survey the carnage of those who have trod the path and what it has cost me and those around me, it can be very sobering. But the biggest event in human history is not going to be easy to accomplish. The hero’s route to FE does not appear to be a viable path. Can the singer’s route make a dent? As I think about that question, it seems a little crazy that I have essentially devoted the last 25 years of my life to finding out. I doubt that I have it in me to stop now. As with Mr. Professor, as with Brian, and as I am sure will be the case with Dennis, I will be doing something in this realm until I take my final breath. It is just what I do, but today is one of those days when I sit back and really wonder what the heck I think I am doing. The feeling will likely pass by the morning, as I get into high gear once again, make more big posts here, keep my nose buried in tomes, and so on. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi Wade,
You sound very tired my brother and rightfully so. Burning the candle at both ends is something you do well but it does shorten your wick :-) Please take care to nurture your own heart often as we both know that there is not a big line up of others to do that for us even if they recognize we need support. So many are running on empty and don't even know it and IMO that is why they have nothing to give. It is not only oil, etc that has peaked, but I think that all energy has peaked on this planet in all ways.
Tax season is here and I'm sure your employer will be expecting greater output than your 110% energy expenditure already thus slow down is my caution. We are not going anywhere or at least I'm not and can wait while you also nurture and rekindle your life energy and spirit first and foremost.
Thank you for your honesty and for venting your exasperation with the way reality is and for trusting us to know that you need to do this as much as anyone here and maybe even more.
P.S. I love being 65 and being out of the work force................65 is only a number and I may look it but I sure don't feel it but then I have been accused of being immature at times :) Growing older without the worry of work and all the social structures has created the best years of my life and I predict your senior years will be the same~~~
Truly take care of yourself, get more sleep as it is the best healer of all that ails a person and it is true when they say there is nothing better than a good nights sleep. May angels sleep on your pillows tonight>>>Blessings and Love

Hi:
Ah, I knew you would try to cheer me up, Sandy, my darling. Oh, I am definitely worn out, hence my upcoming sabbatical. I am not a tax accountant, but it is still the busiest time of the year, with the 10-K, proxy, and the rest of that corporate fun.
But that was more of a, “What am I doing?“ post, which drove home some more while talking with Mr. Professor’s widow. I asked for family news, and she did not want to tell me, warning me that it was not good, as her family still suffers from my days with Dennis. Vengeance still seems to be taken on her family for Mr. Professor’s standing up to the gangsters. If it is not active vengeance, it is the lingering effects of them, all these years later. People still live in fear in Ventura. My days with Dennis comprise the gift that keeps on giving. I still have people around me who think of Ventura in terms of home, and like moths to the candle, they keep going back, running into authorities and raining grief into my life. I tell them to not admit that they know me. They tell me how “bitching” Ventura is, and my reply is, “If you stay out of jail, I suppose so.”
I clearly recall thinking in the fall of 1987 what the air strike on us might look like. I actually cautioned people that I hired that we might not be in business in six months. We outlasted that estimate by maybe a month or two. :)
What I did not know was that I would still be feeling the reverberations 25 years later, that I would still see people living in fear, and still suffering. That was the surprise. The attacks on friends and family have been extremely painful, but what was more dismaying were the attacks coming from my friends and family, attacks that happened as late as last year. You could not have convinced me of that thirty years ago.
I still hear from people, with some regularity, who want to “do something” about this FE stuff, and my best advice is, “Don’t involve your family, friends, and co-workers in it.” The world will only wake up to FE and abundance when it can be demonstrated to them. Otherwise, they will remain fast asleep. Can I find enough needles? Will I get taken out before I can find out? By those around me, while Godzilla does not even need to lift a claw, once again? We will see.
Just this morning, I was once again reading about our imperial adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan:
http://news.yahoo.com/decade-most-critical-u-led-110806443.html
http://www.langerresearch.com/uploads/1147a6IraqandAfghanistan.pdf
The very way that the questions are framed emphasizes our imperial egocentrism, but I suppose is expected, given that it came from the mainstream media. What I found surreal was them putting up numbers that suggested that the people of Iraq were rather narrowly against the invasion, with only a little over half not cheering the invasion. Mind-boggling. The Iraqi people are not that stupid. Only the stupidest Iraqis think that helping Iraq was the motivation behind our invasion:
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/060817/17iraq.htm
and they all had to have come from the oppressed minorities like the Kurds, but that had to be the Kurds with zero sense of history. We have sold them out a few times before:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kurds
and will do so again, when they stop becoming useful. My coming posts are intended to deal with Europe’s conquest of the world and the colonial era. That era is far from over. I wonder if when the British invaded alongside the Americans, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, whether they held up banners that said, “We’re baaaack!” :) Those poor people in that part of the world have been imperial punching bags for a long time, and when oil became so central to the industrialized world, their fate was sealed, it seems.
Time for a little shut-eye.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I only have a little time this morning. Lately, I have been reading about colonialism and capitalism, from an economist’s perspective. As I will make clear in my upcoming essay, I see three levels of economics. One is concerned with money and who gets it. That is called the financial economy, and it is only accounting and not real. But when the masses think of economics, that is what they almost always think of. Money, taxes, banking, Wall Street, etc., is all about the financial economy. It is not only not real, no real solutions will come from there. It is almost all about the exchange aspect of economics, and no answers will come from that level, not in a world of scarcity. The financial economy is what I call the egocentric level, where everybody is trying to get theirs. Capitalists tend to think at this level of the game.
I have written plenty on this thread of that brand of economics, and how little respect scientists have for professional economists, especially those who boil everything down to money. At best, that exercise is full of simplifying assumptions that disconnect the subsequent analyses from reality, and I have written about it plenty already:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=514540&highlight=economists#post514540
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=494211&viewfull=1#post494211
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=643684&viewfull=1#post643684
The next level is the real economy. It is about real measures of human economic activity and welfare, such as bushels of grain, barrels of oil, life expectancy, people per household, time and amount of transport, cars produced, and so on. It is involved with real world measures, and real-world economists realize that money is a very imperfect measure of economic activity, and most real-world economic analyses does not deal much with the financial economy. I call it the anthropocentric economy, as it is solely concerned with human welfare. Communists tended to think at this level of the game, but they have focused almost entirely on social organization, when that is also not where the real action is. The real action is energy – where it comes from, how we get it, what we use it for. Social organization is usually a mere byproduct.
The next level, and the level that I am going to try to get my readers thinking in terms of, looks at the entire planet and accounts for the wellbeing of all life, not just human life. It does not just measure how many tons of ore were mined or how many barrels of oil were burned, but what the impact of that was on both humanity and the species that we share the planet with. Species abuse and extinctions come into those economic equations, as does human abuse and extinctions, which even the communists tended to ignore in their ideological approach. Scientists tend to think at this level, although because we all need to eat, they too can have their awareness trapped by the prevailing political-economic paradigm. The Soviet Union spawned many Marxist scientists, to dubious effect. The West has capitalist scientists, to often evil effect, such as how fluoride became “medicine,”
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#compulsory
how the AMA promoted cigarettes:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes
and the many rackets that we have in “medicine” today:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons
What all of those efforts have in common is that they are mounted under the rubric of scarcity, and it becomes a kind of zero-sum-game, where abuse is justified as being necessary to reach a goal, like that famous quote from Robespierre, where you have to break eggs to make an omelette, which was repeated with gusto by Darwin, Lenin, Stalin, Condoleezza Rice, and others over the years. It is a quote that the egg-breakers make. :)
I have been reading Paul Bairoch’s work lately:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bairoch
and while he was always careful to state the limits of his economic analyses, I think that they were too limited. For instance, he makes the case that colonialism and the Industrial Revolution was not a causal connection, and that the West did not really industrialize on the back of the Third World, but that its exploitation only came much later. One part of his analysis I agree with, in that the awesome sufferings endured by the world under Europe’s boot did not immediately result in huge amounts of goods making their way to Europe, but he was almost completely silent on the primary upshot of the colonial era: stealing three continents from the inhabitants, as they were removed by genocidal activities. The Western Hemisphere was the richest material “find” in world history. Without an entire hemisphere (including Australia) to steal and plunder, Europe’s economic experience would have been a very different one. The New World was a huge safety valve to get rid of Europe’s “surplus population,” and there is no telling what would have happened to Europe without it. That stolen land also led to history’s richest and most powerful nation.
The economic effects of those events were covered lightly, barely at all, by Bairoch, but I will cover them soon, in more depth than I have so far.
Time for work.

Wade

I'd like to think that Wade's Choir just got a boost. If part of the Choir's job is to sing that free energy exists everywhere (and not be tuned-out by skeptics), then it seems like very good news that the nano-brains at CERN have announced the "God Particle" because - critically for free energy advocates - the underlying message is that there is a pervasive, invisible energy field everywhere in the universe.
The past few days have seen an exciting announcement from the world of science. The existence of the God particle has been confirmed by the CERN particle physics laboratory in Switzerland.
The God particle, known in scientific circles as the Higgs boson, depends upon the existence of a “Higgs field.” The Higgs field permeates all of space and gives particles their property of mass. This resurrects the idea of the “aether” as a universal field.
The aether concept went out of fashion a century ago and sent physics into a cul-de-sac from which it can now escape. The recognition of the most fundamental field in the universe re-opens the doorway to the much-coveted idea of a Unified Field theory that will explain all fundamental forces.
The popular science press reports the discovery of the Higgs particle as one of the most important scientific advances of the past 100 years, proving that there is an invisible energy field that pervades the vacuum of the known universe and gives mass to the smallest building blocks of matter. Without this field, they deduce, there would be no planets, stars, or life as we know it.
In a previous article, I proposed that the all-pervasive aether or Higgs field be called the “God field.” Let’s face it, if a Nobel Prize in Physics recipient can call the Higgs boson the God Particle, then we can call the Higgs field the God Field! The important thing is that the aether, the fabric of space, is once again being recognized and this recognition will remove the blockage that was holding back our understanding of the laws of the universe...
by Owen K Waters(emphasis mine)
What say you, Wade? Is this not helpful to the choir: to be able to assert that free energy exists everywhere, and that with that question out of the way, it is time to "discover" how to extract that energy.

Hi Dennis, old buddy:
Einstein himself argued for the need for an ether, which was an upshot to his general theory of relativity:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=488963&viewfull=1#post488963
Yes, the Higgs Boson may well make the ether fashionable again:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=583020&highlight=higgs#post583020
There is plenty of theory out there on this subject. The main point that I make is that there is not really any such thing as empty space, and my readers really do not need to know much more than that. And whether we want to call the ZPF etherons (LaViolette), orgone (Reich), or any one of the thirty names that Jeane Manning has collected:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=636893&viewfull=1#post636893
I get wary of hanging my hat on any theory. Rife’s and Naessens’s scopes defy orthodox optical theory, and Brown’s Gas’s transmutational properties defy conventional physics. I know that a great deal of energy technology has been buried, and plenty was FE. All the theory in the world pales beside what my friend was shown:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
or watching Sparky Sweet’s device in action:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet
There will be some scientific stuff related to energy in the choir’s hymnal, but it is too easy to get sucked down the theoretical rabbit holes that big-talking theorists can dig. Most of it is invalid. If orthodox theory begins to embrace the possibility of the ZPF, that is all well and good, but is a tiny little baby step in the right direction. As long as White Science operates under the umbrella of “national security” and capitalist imperatives, it is not going anywhere, not on the FE front.
Going to bed now.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I have written, the ocean-going sailing ship was the greatest energy technology of all time, to that time, when Europe learned to sail the high seas, where a ship under sail could generate several hundred horsepower:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=591797&highlight=horsepower#post591797
Portugal was the first out of the gate, and slaves, gold, and spices were their predilections. Also, coming from a land where total war was the game, they easily conquered the peoples they found. At Goa, the Portuguese invaders slaughtered several thousand defenders of the city:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Goa#Portuguese_conquest_and_colonisation
and quickly set themselves up to control the spice trade:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#spice
The Spanish were next. Wrong-way Columbus was trying to find a different route to the spice trade and stumbled into the New World:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#azores
Magellan continued Spanish attempts to wrest the spice route from Portugal:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#_edn14
but the Portuguese spice concessions were left alone, even after Spain annexed Portugal:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#annex
The Reformation sparked numerous wars in Europe, with Catholic warring against Protestant, culminating in the Thirty Years’ War:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#thirty
which was Europe’s bloodiest to that time. And science and technology was on the rise and, as usual, advances were put to military use. The nation with the best navy was going to win. The mast was the prime mover for a sailing ship, and tall, straight trees were coveted, and Britain’s Atlantic invasions were partly to secure wood for its fleets. When the English invaded Ireland, it quickly deforested Ireland to build its fleets. The invasion of New England was partly motivated to seize mast wood, which eventually contributed to the American Revolution:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=602338&highlight=masts#post602338
As Fuller noted, technological advances were first used on ships, when having superior navies was important:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#ships
Huge scientific projects were undertaken, such as creating a way to measure longitude:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude#History
So, science, technology, warfare, and colonial exploitation were interacting dynamics that marked the rise of Europe, and nobody on Earth could resist the juggernaut. But it would be a mistake to think that Europeans were really all that smart, either. For hundreds of years, they ignored the numerous times that the peoples they were conquering cured their sailors of scurvy:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#scurvy
which led to the deaths of about a million sailors. Spain and Portugal had the imperial stage to themselves for a century, and the Spanish were primarily responsible for history’s greatest demographic catastrophe: the depopulation of a hemisphere:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide
and in the USA, we celebrate the man who initiated the carnage:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#why
After 1600, the Dutch, English, and French joined the fray, with the Spanish and Portuguese quickly becoming imperial has-beens, mere shadows of their former imperial glory. First and foremost, it was superiority of violence that led the Europeans to prevail. Not only did they have the energy technology to move their violent men around the world, bent on plunder, but they all had militant ideologies, and racism began its steep ascent, to further reinforce their murderous activities.
Tropical diseases killed off the white people, so wherever the climate was suitable, the Europeans invaded and stayed, becoming “settlers,” such as North America, non-tropical South America, Australia, South Africa, and elsewhere. The last two significant places on Earth not dominated by Europe were China and Japan, and they stayed free by knowing how the empire game was played and did not allow Europeans into their lands. They eventually succumbed to the West, too, it taking two nuclear bombs to bring Japan to heel:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping
But I get ahead of myself a little. What really led to European ascendance was its ability to wrest more energy from the world. The toolset of the Europeans allowed them to quickly deforest North America’s Eastern Woodlands and put it to the plow, and they exterminated everything in their way, including Indians, bison, and the passenger pigeon:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#pigeon
At least until the soils were gone, European technology could wrest vastly more energy from the environment than the gentle ways of the Indians, supporting far higher populations. The so-called American Dream was based on genocide and plunder. The Great Plains have lost about half of their topsoil to American plow agriculture, in less than two centuries. A couple of years ago, I again visited my family’s homestead in southwestern Kansas:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas
and agriculture is dying there, as they have drained the Ogallala Aquifer dry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogallala_Aquifer#Change_in_groundwater_storage
It is a gentle preview for what may be just around the corner, with our unsustainable practices.
Time for work.

Hi:
As the tenth anniversary of our invasion of Iraq has arrived, various retrospectives have been published around the Internet. I saw this “radical” one yesterday:
http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-03-19/10-year-iraq-war-anniversary-what-weve-learned-past-decade
Even in the “radical” accounts, the death toll of the Iraqi people is not even mentioned:
https://sites.google.com/site/iraqiholocaustiraqigenocide/polya-gideon
and if the Iraqi dead are even mentioned, the propaganda press says stuff like maybe as many as 100K Iraqis were killed:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/10-years-iraq-invasion/story?id=18759281
I wish they would not mention the numbers at all, if they are going to make obscene “estimates” like that. But even in the critical accounts, 100K seems to be the magic number that is now going down as the official estimate:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-a-clarke/iraq-war-anniversary_b_2904285.html
The Iraq War Logs are not going to be anything close to comprehensive:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_death_toll
The Lancet and ORB surveys were the only statistically valid ones, and have been predictably attacked in public, while privately, the Lancet survey was called “close to best practice” by a British expert when it came out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_surveys_of_Iraq_War_casualties#Official_reactions
What is it about Americans, where even the “radicals” cannot bring themselves to mention the awesome death toll that we inflicted on a nation that never did us any harm? Hitler had more excuse for invading Poland than we did for invading Iraq.
In Iraq, they “celebrated” the anniversary yesterday with a bunch of car bombings:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/19/us-iraq-violence-idUSBRE92I04Q20130319
Iraq won’t recover in a hundred years from what we did to them. Iraq once had the best medical system and the best educational system among the Arab nations, and it was the most secular Arab nation. It will probably never gain those distinctions again.
In 1911, the British navy changed from coal to oil:
http://www.epmag.com/archives/digitalOilField/5911.htm
and the fate of the Middle East was sealed. That is almost all that anybody really needs to know about all the strife in the Middle East for the past century. For somebody who has been writing about Iraq since 1991:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jesus
I am just about out of words. What we did will eventually take its place next to Hitler’s and Stalin’s crimes, but what we have done to Iraq and Afghanistan is just more of the same in our imperial trajectory:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1
Our imperial death toll since World War II is reaching 20 million people, and the suffering of countless millions, even billions. That is just what empires do. Everybody now admits that Karl Rove made that boast that we are an empire:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community
It was nice to see somebody admit it in our halls of power. Of course, people like Rove will never swing from a Nuremburg noose alongside his buddy George W., because winners never have to submit to war crimes trials. Only losers do.
I have a little time this morning, to get back to the rise of Europe. To get a little Marx-ish, those imperial rivals in Western Europe all had slightly different ways that they approached their imperial projects, but the basics were still the same: make ships that could sail the oceans, arm them to the teeth, kick indigenous butt, and then exploit the hell out of them. Technologies and techniques were invented by this imperial player and that, to soon be emulated by its rivals, as they all vied for supremacy. There were feedbacks amongst them, but it was all based on their ability to wrench energy from the land, use the wind power and low friction of the oceans, and inflict violence in a truly irresistible way on natives who had never seen such a thing. Cannons, steel swords and armor, horses, man-eating dogs, and the ships that transported them (along with the diseases that the filthy Europeans carried), and the genocidal attitudes that came with them, overwhelmed the New World’s natives.
The Europeans were all looking for easy economic kills, and the Spanish epitomized the attitude with their lust for gold:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest
When the English joined the fray, gold was also their initial obsession, and stealing Spain’s plunder is what made Francis Drake a “sir.”
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
In the end, gold rushes are simply counterfeiting operations, stealing from one’s neighbor, and a mere generation after the loot from the conquered peoples in the New World began to pour in, the Spanish crown had the first of several bankruptcies that charted its decline as an imperial aspirant:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#bankrupt
When the awesome suffering of the natives is taken into account, the century of Spanish plunder of the New World is a leading candidate for history’s most evil enterprise. When the Portuguese invaded the Amazon, they hoped for gold-plated civilizations to plunder like the Spanish found, but soon had to content themselves with sugar plantations, which quickly exterminated the natives, just like the Spanish did in the Caribbean, and Brazil and the Caribbean were soon repopulated by captured Africans to work those sugar plantations, and the world’s most dramatic slave era was off and running:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sugar
In the first century of plunder and genocide of the New World’s natives, the primary “benefits” to Europe were two addictive substances, tobacco and sugar, and worthless metals in the form of gold and silver. None of it had any intrinsic value to Europe, and an entire hemisphere was depopulated to get it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#wealth
When the English, French, and Dutch got into the game, the northern lands they encountered had no easily-plundered gold or could support sugar plantations, so they went after the first “product” from the New World that brought any economic benefit to Europe at all: fur. The fur trade had already exterminated the fur-bearing animals of Eurasia, and it would quickly drive all of North America’s fur-bearing animals to the brink of extinction:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#fur
Even though fur had an economic value because of its heat-conserving properties (the energy game once again), the quick extinction of the beaver in the Eastern Woodlands was largely done for fashion, as beaver-skin hats became quite the rage in Europe, at least while the beavers lasted. That was only a preview of what would happen to the passenger pigeon and bison, not to mention the Indians themselves.
So, the early days of the European imperial experience was an economic catastrophe, and few monarchs could understand how stupid it all was, from an economic perspective, which is always what it is all about, in the end. Or the economic “benefit” was like a sugar high, literally, not in the least bit sustainable. The English and Dutch, however, were already on the ascent to industrialization, which I will cover soon. The English were behind the Dutch on the industrialization curve, but their close relationship would see the English copy much about the Dutch experience, and by 1700, the English had overtaken the Dutch. The 1700s were marked by an imperial horserace between Britain and France, as they laid claim to as much of the world as they could, with the French being the losers, having to content themselves with lesser “finds” such as Southeast Asia and the less lucrative parts of Oceania. The British got Australia, New Zealand, and the choicest tropical islands, while the French got the scraps.
The British, however, being an island nation, were socially backward compared to the more cosmopolitan French and Dutch, and it showed in their attitudes toward the American Indian, which was the most openly exterminatory of the imperial rivals:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#exterminate2
Perceptive Spanish, beginning with Columbus, lamented the vast genocide of the natives, as they did all the work. The extermination of their slave base is what put the damper on Spain’s imperial ambitions in the New World.
After the vast genocide of the 1500s, the native population in the New World bottomed about at around 5-25% of its pre-invasion population before 1650, and then began a slow recovery. The Western Hemisphere to this day is quite under-populated compared to Eurasia, and that reflects the genocide of the 1500s. With a widowed hemisphere, then came the “settlers” from Europe, which was really the big economic boost that Europe gained from its imperial adventures. The New World is history’s most lucrative “find,” and history’s richest and most powerful nation was built on that “virgin” land. The ideology of wide open spaces begging to be “settled” came from that era, and that ideology is still with us today:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#carl
Spain’s stupidity aside, an economic practice and ideology took root in those early imperial days, known today as mercantilism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism
The basics of mercantilism were to violently conquer the foreign peoples and establish political control, and then direct the economy. Mercantilism was really a large slavery operation. The conquered lands were de-industrialized and then provided a service function to the European economies, providing cheap labor and raw materials. In return, Europe would ship products formerly made by the natives, wiping out their industries, and bleeding the subject nations dry by controlling the terms of exchange. Capitalism was a direct descendant of mercantilism, easily seen in the writings of the classical political economists. What is called global capitalism today is a direct descendant of those imperial mercantilist days. Of course, in business school, the stark realities of mercantilism and the subsequent capitalism were not taught to me in business school:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#colonialism
as I was regaled with Adam Smith’s tale of the pin factory:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=623703&viewfull=1#post623703
and how evil the Soviet Union’s economic system was. The origins of capitalism have been given plenty of ink over the centuries, with Marx frankly remarking on the bloody, coercive origins that the classical economists passed over in silence, and I will cover some of it in coming posts.
What I will make clear, however, is that to separate capitalist development from mercantilist development, and to remove it from the general ascent of Europe, as it learned to sail the seas and conquer the world, is the kind of hair-splitting that too many scholars engage in, to dubious effect. It was all an energy game, and each important innovation of those times was about gaining and using more energy. In that regard, practice was far ahead of theory. Coal was used in England after the trees were gone, and inventing a way to bake the impurities from coal so that it could be burned like wood for smelting, to be used for the iron production that Britain industrialized with, with Watt’s steam engine being the seminal event:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#industrial
were the events that made the Industrial Revolution possible. The science to fit a theoretical framework around those early industrial breakthroughs did not come for nearly a hundred years later. That is partly why I cautioned recently about getting too enamored with our theories:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=650705&viewfull=1#post650705
The big breakthroughs, and many are suppressed and sit in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard today, are where practice was far ahead of theory (at least orthodox theory :) ). Einstein’s special theory of relativity came a generation after the experimental evidence was in hand:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment
that supported it.
Time for work.

Hi:
In 2002, when I finished my site, I boiled down the rise of humans into three factors:
1. Energy
2. Our hands
3. Our brains
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#rise
That may seem too obvious to some, but any explanations that stray from those dynamics can get tangled in their underwear. A couple of years ago, I succinctly stated what drove the epochal stages of the human journey:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#succinct
In all of the study that I have been doing over the past several years, I have seen nothing to change it. It not only explains where we have been, but also hints at where we can go. It always has been, and always will be, The Energy Game. Everything else is a sideshow.
After I finished my site, I discovered Bucky Fuller’s work. He not only articulated many things that I was groping to say, but he said them in ways that helped crystallize my thinking, in a paradigmatic way. One of his more valuable insights was that political systems competition was no help at all in resolving our central problems:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics
What capitalism, communism, socialism, and all other political-economic ideologies have in common is scarcity, and they are all concerned with who gets the benefit of the scarce resources. All dominant ideologies, not just the political-economic ones, are predicated on scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
and abundance makes them all obsolete.
But those scarcity-based ideologies were all predicated on what we call civilization. Civilization formed as a result of agriculture:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=649001&viewfull=1#post649001
and agriculture developed due to population pressures. Humans drove all the easy meat to extinction as they spread across the planet:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5
and domesticating plants and animals was a direct response to food scarcity. Early agriculture was not a boon to human health, however, and humans shrank in stature where agriculture was developed. But the land could support more people, so population densities could increase, as more energy could be wrenched from the land. A Japanese rice farmer can get 10,000 times more energy from a patch of land as a Cro-Magnon hunter-gatherer could:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=591237&highlight=japanese#post591237
Wherever agriculture appeared, cities were not far behind. Cities had many benefits to humans. The development of professions was dependent on cities, and the close human interaction of urban environments allowed for relatively quick communication of ideas, information, social contact (we are social animals, descended from monkeys), and cities facilitated the spread of inventions. Urban amenities that were not possible in rural environments appeared. Elites appeared, as parasites on the body politic, and dominated the resultant economic/political/social hierarchies. The greatest adversaries of the ruling classes are those they rule. When elites battle, they battle atop the substrate of the system that creates exploitable masses. The early potentates were all men, reflecting the male superiority of inflicting violence (which also made them the preferred hunters), and they all either invented or corrupted the day’s ideologies into making them the representatives of divinity on Earth, and they all had harems, palaces, and other monumental architecture devoted to them. That dynamic is with us to the present day, in one form or another. Elite luxury goods formed the basis of early trade networks, as they reinforced elite status. There has been an auspicious change to that in the Industrial Era, particularly lately, where people like me can stand in line with the world’s richest man:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates
and nobody notices him. I was just trading email yesterday with a former CEO of mine, with a personal worth in excess of $100 million, and he used the same bathroom as I did, prepared his meals in the same lunch room, and he knew my name before I knew who he was. The high technology revolution, at least on the USA’s West coast, has been egalitarian in ways that have not existed before, and it points to ways of being that have not yet been seen on this planet.
Inventions such as writing could not have happened in rural environments, and the first writings the world over were accounting for the elite haul. In coming posts, I am going to explore the city and how the rise of Europe, with its resultant Industrial Revolution, changed cities in many ways. Cities are primarily energy concentration devices, and FE and the attendant technologies, both those in public use today and kept under wraps by Godzilla, makes most of the reasons to have cities disappear. In fact, there becomes no compelling reason to have cities, and the idea of elites also disappears (which is why they so avidly suppress FE – their very existence depends on suppressing it). And if we still have some cities, they will be radically different than what we see today. They will not dominate the local vicinity, conquer nature, and the like. FE and attendant technologies, such as antigravity, along with advanced materials and communication technologies, make human “civilization” independent of needing an agricultural hinterland to exploit (and the rural peoples), independent of where the “resources” are, because with abundant, clean energy, all resources become abundant and wherever you want them.
But I need to trace the development of the rise of Europe and how industrial civilization developed, so that what is possible with FE becomes more obvious. That is really about the entire point of my work. FE will create a break from the past that will be far more dramatic than what the Industrial Revolution did, and the most important aspect of it will be the end of scarcity. We have never seen that before:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
but what I consider the best thread on the Internet explores what becomes obsolete with the advent of abundance:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy
and the more people who can focus their attention on that, in a productive way, the choir will be on its way to forming. An abundance choir has never been heard on Earth before, and if it gets going, the harmonic effects may well catalyze the situation that can overcome both humanity’s inertia and hyper-elite suppression of FE and attendant technologies, and a mind-boggling epoch of the human journey can be directly ahead. Or, we may continue to fail the test of our sentience that our current predicament as a species presents us today, and we will fall all the way down the hill to self-extinction, while taking most complex life with us. As Bucky said, we are facing Utopia or Oblivion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
I know which one I choose, and am trying to find others to help me manifest it.
Time for work.

Hi:
Attached is a pic from my backyard this morning. Those in the Great White North won’t be impressed, but after a mild winter without even a hint of snow at home, I woke up this morning to that. Spring is sort of here. :)
Cities originally formed in warm climates (it is also thought that they did not form in the human’s ancestral home, the tropical rain forests, because life was too easy there, with fruit available). It was an energy dynamic, as technologies had to improve, in numerous ways, to make cities in colder climates feasible. Until horse-drawn heavy plows were invented and other agricultural advances, the kind of farming that could support the cities of northern Europe was not much in evidence. The great era of city-building in Northern Europe, from 1000 to 1300, was marked by a doubling of agricultural output and a 50% increase in productivity. The spread of windmills and watermills during the same era:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=607647&viewfull=1#post607647
was a huge energy boost for Western Europe, and it really could be seen as the beginning of industrialization, harnessing non-animal energy for the first time on Earth of any consequence. Also, at the beginning of the Medieval Warm Period, Europe’s forests had recovered from Rome’s rapacity, and the Medieval Warm Period was an orgy of deforestation. The boost of environmental energy from the climate of Medieval Warm Period, combined with improvements in agriculture (some them came back with returning Crusaders),combined with all the new land brought under the plow, and the energy from the wood that was “liberated” to get at that “virgin” soil, combined with the introduction of the Greek teachings that led to humanism and science making its rise:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646102&highlight=humanism#post646102
and Europe was ascending, long before Columbus stumbled into the New World. Then the Medieval Warm Period was over, and in 1315, the party began to end with a huge famine, followed soon by wars and the plague:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=595655&viewfull=1#post595655
Europe became a hell on Earth then, but it still kept its cities largely intact, with the influx of the surplus population from the countryside. But the peasant’s life got a little better in that with the population decline, wages went up, reflecting labor’s scarcity. The rise of cities meant the waning of feudalism:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism
Island nations such as Britain and Japan became socially backward compared to their continental brethren, and that can be seen today in the reverence for anachronistic royalty in those two nations, which no other industrialized nation has. The British Isles actively eradicated not only its forest, but all competing animals. Bears were the first to go, going extinct a little after 900 AD, with the wolf last sighted in England in 1486, last one sighted in Wales in 1576, and the last one sighted in Scotland in 1743. In the 1500s and 1600s, England waged a war on all animals that might compete for food:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#auk
That exterminatory attitude would soon be focused on the American Indian:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
At the same time that all competing animals were being exterminated, the peasants were being kicked off the land with the Enclosure Laws:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=622798&highlight=enclosure#post622798
The Game Laws forbade them to hunt their food:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=623427&viewfull=1#post623427
and those laws ended up creating the workforce for the first factories in England. The Industrial Revolution was initially a rural phenomenon, as the energy source was the mills that had to be on rivers and streams in the countryside. In fact, the cities of the time were never the leaders in industrialization, as they were not built for it and did not have the available energy. The industrial cities of Britain were new or small cities or former villages, which grew from the mills, such as Manchester:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester#Early_history
Birmingham:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham#Pre-history_and_medieval
Belfast:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast#Growth
Places such as Cromford sprouted up around a mill that was established there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromford
The great city of London had almost nothing to do with early industrialization. This was not so unusual. The proto-industries that served Rome were in the hinterland, where access to wood, the primary industrial energy supply of the day, was available:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=562534&viewfull=1#post562534
Coal was not a significant industrial energy source until two things happened: the impurities could be baked out of it so that it could be used for smelting, and the first practical heat engine was developed for drawing water out of coal mines:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646102&viewfull=1#post646102
Then the Industrial Revolution began to gather steam, pun intended. Capitalism is about the social organization to exploit workers in favor of the masters in a different way, by making people cogs in machines. Those early mills and factories were hellish places, and inspired the writings of Charles Dickens, who was forced to work in a factory as a boy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens#Early_years
Those horrific working conditions also inspired Karl Marx’s work.
While industrialization began in the countryside, it did not stay there, and there was an interplay of city and countryside that was mutually stimulating, which is something that also goes back to the dawn of civilization. Cities could become parasitic, like Rome did, or they could interact with the countryside, where inventions from the cities made their way to the countryside. But the Industrial Revolution was not directly fostered by any of Europe’s big cities, but it began in the hinterland. That initially rural character would define Britain’s great offspring, the USA. I have to go to work, but there is a lot to write about those dynamics, and it will take some time.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I was driven out of bed to write this, and then I hope I can let Iraq go for a little while, now that we have “celebrated” the tenth anniversary of our invasion. The invasion itself was perhaps the most emotionally agonizing period of my life, and that is saying something. My media education began as the drums were beating for the first Gulf War, back in 1990, and the New York Times was fabricating “translations” of Arabic script:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot
Saddam Hussein was on the CIA’s payroll in the 1950s, and we put him up in Cairo when he failed to assassinate Iraq’s prime minister and had a price on his head:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2849.htm
When our man came to power and invaded Iran, getting vengeance on them by proxy for daring to overthrow the dictator that we installed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran
Saddam became the USA’s good buddy. The West, particularly the USA, helped arm Hussein’s military, especially with what he needed to make chemical and biological weapons:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#chemicals
When he began using them against Iran, the USA sent Rummy to meet with Hussein on a “goodwill” mission:
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/
During the entire war with Iran, which killed about a million people, we were solidly in Hussein’s camp. Of course, we were arming Iran, too, as the Iran-Contra Scandal made clear:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Contra_Affair
and the CIA was backhauling cocaine into the USA, in its noble Central American work:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#drugs
But when that was reported in the USA, the reporter had his career destroyed and life wrecked:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb#Dark_Alliance
I am far from convinced that he committed suicide, but even if he did, he is a casualty of our evil system.
Later, perceptive Iranians and Iraqis said that the USA was arming both sides so that they could destroy each other, and the Iranians and Iraqis stupidly complied.
After the war was over in 1988, about the same time that the American-sponsored butchery was coming to an end in Central America:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#central
Hussein was still our man in the Middle East. In early 1990, a junket from the Senate toured Iraq, with quite a bit of fanfare. During the junket, Hussein made an offer to help lead an effort to rid the Middle East of non-conventional weapons:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sunny
It was tied to Israel’s nuclear arsenal, which the USA has always illegally turned a blind eye to, so we told Saddam that he was on his own for his disarmament project. A few months later, as Hussein was about to invade Kuwait, partly because not only were they no help against Iran, but they had been sneakily drilling into Iraq’s oil fields, Hussein summoned the U.S. ambassador and frankly told her that he was planning to invade Kuwait, and the ambassador gave him the infamous “green light” to invade:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#glaspie
When he proved to be a man of his word, then he became Public Enemy Number One in the USA. The ensuing Gulf War was not a war in any meaningful sense. In the words of U.S. soldiers, it was a “turkey shoot,” where more than a hundred thousand Iraqi soldiers were killed, most while not even in combat situations, while a few dozen American soldiers died (those who were not killed by their buddies in “friendly fire”). American pundits were calling for dropping nuclear weapons on Iraq:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#thomas
But that was only the beginning of the USA’s genocide against the Iraqi people. An American study showed that by the summer of 1991, more than 40,000 Iraqi children had already died by the intentional targeting of Iraq’s infrastructure by the USA in its “war”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#continuing
and the holocaust was just beginning. By 1996, an estimated half million children had died, and when asked about it, the USA’s Secretary of State justified it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#albright
It is well-known and not even really disputed that the USA intentionally targeted Iraq’s water supply:
http://www.progressive.org/mag/nagy0901.html
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kuwait
and then denied Iraq the chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat its water. That is biological warfare, plain and simple. That, along with the starvation that we imposed on Iraq, is why all those children died, and the Iraqi people would not have believed it, but the 1990s were going to be looked back at as the “good old days” before long. The carnage was just beginning.
Several years after George the First lost to Clinton, a bunch of right wingers floated a document that was an announcement of Empire, and it in particular called for an overthrow of Hussein, largely because he had “weapons of mass destruction (WMD)”:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century#Calls_for_regime_change_in_Iraq_during_Clinton_years
Rumsfeld was actually a signatory to that manifesto, for hypocrisy that goes off the scale. One joke in left circles in those days was that we could prove that he had WMD because we kept the receipts of what we sold him. The fact was that by the time of the PNAC manifesto, Iraq was the most disarmed nation on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ritter
It came out in the wake of our invasion that Hussein got rid of all of his WMD after the first Gulf War, and the USA knew it:
http://www.david-morrison.org.uk/iraq/simpson-wmd.htm
When the drumbeat began for an invasion over WMD, it was all based on lies:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/15/defector-admits-wmd-lies-iraq-war
This was all going far beyond what Goebbels could have dreamed of.
By the time the USA invaded Iraq in 2003, using a raft of lies as its rationale:
http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/IraqOnRecord.html
the death toll in Iraq, from just the USA’s actions since 1991, was between one and two million people, with the high end of the range more likely. Since the invasion, the excess death toll has been about another two million people, with about half by violence:
https://sites.google.com/site/iraqiholocaustiraqigenocide/polya-gideon
The death toll in Afghanistan is similar:
https://sites.google.com/site/afghanholocaustafghangenocide/polya-gideon-afghan-holocaust-afghan-genocide
As with Hussein, Osama bin Laden was our creation. He was the figurehead that we used to mount the biggest CIA operation in history, as we armed the “rebels” in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#osama
In the aftermath of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, with the nation destroyed, and the Taliban in power because we essentially put them there, Zbigniew Brzezinski bragged about actually inciting the Soviet Union to invade Afghanistan back when he was Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy advisor, as one of his “global chessboard” maneuvers:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski
http://dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/publications_afghanistan
http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a122679invasion
The Big Zbig was Obama’s foreign policy advisor when he first ran for president, and is now in the pantheon of American statesmen, an august personage in his golden years.
George W’s terms were both widely acknowledged to be the result of stolen elections:
http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0120-04.htm
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/07/23/billpress.column/index.html
http://www.michaelparenti.org/stolenelections.html
http://www.art-science.com/Bush/b3.html )
When Bush campaigned in 2000, he literally flew to campaign stops on Enron’s plane, and here is where I am seeing evidence of Internet scrubbing. I have seen at least one picture of Bush coming off of an Enron plane, waving to the crowd, with the Enron logo proudly behind him on the plane’s fuselage. All such pictures have disappeared from the Internet, as have almost all pictures of Bush and his number one financial contributor, “Kenny Boy” Lay. In the interest of preserving some of that class act, I am putting some pics of good ol’ George on this post.
That one of Bush holding the turkey is one of many phony photo ops that were staged. That “turkey” was not even real. His “Mission Accomplished” photo op was like Hitler’s Nuremberg rallies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Mission_Accomplished_Speech
so won’t disappear down the Memory Hole any time soon, and Bush’s photo ops with New Orleans will go down like Nero fiddling while Rome burned:
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/bush_orleans_photos.html
But Bush was playing guitar instead:
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=George_W._Bush:_Hurricane_Katrina:_Public_Relations
http://www.bongonews.com/layout1.php?event=2403
http://www.texaskaos.net/showDiary.do?diaryId=351
There are too many stories about Bush riding the Enron plane for that fact to “disappear,” Stalin-style, fortunately:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/11/60minutes/main679706.shtml
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Bush_administration_and_the_Enron_connection
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121269&page=1
although the subsequent “amnesia” by the media was quite Stalinist:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/ken-lay-on-trial-why-are-_b_19873.html?
In early 2001, there was series of meetings between Cheney and pals such as Enron, and the minutes of those meetings will likely be secret for a long time, if they are ever declassified, but legal action got some materials from the meeting coughed up, and the most telling materials were maps of Iraq’s oil fields:
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Cheney_Energy_Task_Force

http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/8-secrets-of-cheneys-energy-task-force-come-to-light/
But Enron, Bush, and folks like the Taliban go way back:

http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1207-08.htm
Even people in my office doubt that “Kenny Boy” is dead, but got some plastic surgery and is living well in some tropical location:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Lay#Conspiracy_theories_about_death
Nothing in that realm would surprise me. But, I think as I am making clear, whether it is “right” or “left,” the USA’s evil activities in that part of the world continue unabated. Whether Caligula or Claudius was emperor, it was still an empire, and Bush was our Caligula. He is likely a psychopath:

Hi:
I have a lot to do today, so will likely not get a post done on the rise of Europe. This will be kind of an old hat post, but less than an hour ago, I was in a store where a free energy meeting was coincidentally being held. I have been invited to speak there and locally, but I have no interest in it. Recently, I have been hit from several directions by people trying to enlist my assistance, or who want to cheer me on, but none of them understand what I am trying to do. It is a real test of my patience.
I am not planning to:
1. Write a book, and then go on the speaking circuit;
2. Form a “movement,” play the “grass roots” game - a la Occupy, non-profit foundations, etc. - man booths at New Age expos, recruit the flock at supermarkets, and so on;
3. Encourage FE tinkerers to go make FE prototypes in their garages;
4. Mount an effort to research, build, and market FE devices;
5. Educate the masses in FE physics, or make a list of the numerous FE martyrs;
6. Approach governmental, corporate, religious, environmental and other NGO institutions for help;
7. Reach out to friends, family, and professional colleagues to help educate them;
8. Get on TV or the major media to tell my story, or write a screenplay for Hollywood.
I have experience in or near all of those activities, and they are all dead-ends, at least as far as FE is concerned. I am trying to do something different, so radically different that almost nobody can even comprehend it, as I am constantly approached on all the approaches above, always by people who really do not have any experience the field, as they try to pour the new wine into old skins. Almost invariably, the efforts that I have been seeing reek of naïveté and a lack of discernment and clear thinking, and those are deadly shortcomings in this field.
What I am trying to do is:
A. Help people understand the role of energy in the journey of life on Earth, including the human journey, in both obvious and subtle ways;
B. Help people develop a comprehensive perspective, which will necessarily be somewhat scientific, but it is going to incorporate economics, politics, spirituality, history, and other disciplines, and the perspective that I hope to help people achieve will see the driving force of our energy practices behind all of them, and how dependent they all are on the energy issue;
C. From that comprehensive perspective, then they will understand the epochal changes that FE will bring to all of them; they will make all dominant ideologies obsolete (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant ), for starters;
D. It will be understood that fear and scarcity are related as are love and abundance (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming ), which is rooted in the energy issue in very real ways, ways that elude almost everybody who encounters these issues (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest );
E. Mount a high-level conversation, Internet-based, that I hope several thousand people on Earth can be a part of, and it will inspire ten times that number, and then the real-world problems of making FE happen would be easily overcome.
While that may seem simple, even easy, it is anything but. People have to relinquish their scarcity-based ideologies in order to glimpse abundance, and in virtually every instance where somebody fails to understand what I am trying to do, it is because they can’t let go of their cherished beliefs. Those ideologies somehow feed and comfort them. The proportion of people who are even willing to do what it will take to achieve the heart-centered sentience that I think is needed is far less than 1% of the general population. After many years in this field, I came to accept those numbers, and I am using this new technology, the Internet, to expand my reach across the planet, so I can reach those needles in haystacks. Almost every FE newbie wants to go solve the problem on their lunch-hour, proselytize with their new gospel under their arm, etc. That is not in alignment with what I am trying to do. The masses are worse than worthless at this time, for an effort like this. It is just what it is. Can a child comprehend romantic love? Can a five-year-old understand what it takes to earn a living? These are the problems that come with the FE effort. People will begin to wake up to FE and abundance when it can be demonstrated to them:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli
A hazard of attaining those understandings is becoming disgusted with our species, and I have seen more than one activist succumb to it, but those who overcame it did it with love:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust
It is just one of the many hazards that come with this journey. Enough said for now.
One final thought before it is off to chores is that it is easy to get lost in the games that academics play. For instance, when people think of the energy industry, they usually think of fossil fuels, nuclear power, and the “sustainable” alternatives. The food industry is the energy industry. About 80% of what is called nutrition consists of caloric energy. Housing and clothing are energy industries. Their primary reason for existence is to shelter the human body from energy loss to the environment, either from heat loss, predation, or by preserving energy sources such as food, and whether it is fiber for clothing, or wood, glass, and steel for buildings, energy made them all possible, which was almost always captured sunlight. The transportation industry is all about energy and always has been, whether it was riding a horse, sailing a ship, making a road, driving a car, or going to the moon. Economists tend to parse human productive activities into those categories, and many others, and homogenize it all with money, and produce analyses that are completely divorced from reality. A comprehensive perspective will understand the role of energy, in both the obvious and subtle ways:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=648832&viewfull=1#post648832
and it will also glimpse the potential of abundant, clean, essentially “free” energy. Nothing remotely close to it has ever been experienced on this planet before, and that is a show that I would like to see. :)
Time for chores.

Wade,
I do not pretend to be humming along with the nascent choir, but I have had a breakthrough in understanding the reality that the (mundane) human journey is a story of energy acquisition and utilization and of the subsequent 'gaming' of the scarcity meme for control and profit.
Just wanted you to know that is IS seeping in through the cracks. :~) Repetition, especially with rephrasing, is working.
"The food industry is the energy industry. About 80% of what is called nutrition consists of caloric energy. Housing and clothing are energy industries.

Hi:
Dennis, bro, thanks for that. The energy issue works at the molecular level, the cellular level, the organism level, the ecosystem level and even larger (called panarchy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panarchy#Systems_theory), and for the human animal, it also works at the societal level, and that includes our technologies and how we extract energy from the environment (especially biologically-stored energy, including fossil fuels).
After humans wiped out the densest energy stores available to them, megafauna (and they could only exploit that energy source when they improved their toolset and social organization so they could invade ecosystems across the planet), they then began to domesticate plants and animals, and that is when humans also became domesticated.
In evolutionary theory, it is surmised that just like humans bred out the “wildness” in our domestic plants and animals, they also bred those “wild” traits out of humanity. That is a huge subject. Professions, slaves, and elites are the primary new “kinds” of people that arose with civilization, and the people behind keeping the lid on FE and other “disruptive” technologies are the professional descendants of those earliest elites. While there are plenty of tales on how far back and how unbroken that lineage may be, and whether it involves ET blood lines, I am more of the “structuralist” persuasion on that score. Today’s hyper-elites, AKA Godzilla, are merely taking advantage of the opportunities that the human herd is providing to them, and we readily oblige them. On several levels, the energy scarcity game is the big one, and everything else is the small stuff. Overcoming hundreds of thousands of years of scarcity-based conditioning will not be easy, and that, as I see it, is the big hurdle. When I say that it is baked deep, I mean it. :) That is why this will not be an easy task, not by any means.
Thanks for keeping your brain to this grindstone. You are one of my test cases for this stuff. I think that what I am going to be doing will be conceptually challenging, but not so much that people have to be geniuses to understand. You have the emotional part down, my friend, which is the most important part (as I keep saying, it all begins in the heart). The conceptual part also will be highly challenging for people, and not just because most will sense, on a primordial level, that all of their scarcity-based oxen will be gored, but there will be “cognitive” challenges to having the paradigm shift from scarcity to abundance. Other than me and a few others out there, nobody on Earth is making the case for practical abundance, which will necessarily be based on energy abundance. It is not easy to wrap one’s head around what has essentially never been seen on Earth before. I am still wrapping my head around it, and I have been doing it for a long time. :)
Time for more chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Ok, back to Europe. Again, before England industrialized, it was just one of the imperial wannabees, and the 1600s were spent vying with the Dutch for dominance, although much of England’s rise could be traced to innovations that it took from the Dutch, and they both learned lessons from the Portuguese and Spanish maritime efforts, and they did not learn their tricks from whole cloth, either, borrowing plenty from Islamic cultures. None of the advances happened in isolation, although Spain had the New World largely to itself for a century, and when England industrialized, it developed a 50-80 year lead over the second place nations, which were initially Belgium, France, and Switzerland. The Game Laws that kicked the peasants off the land also appeared on Continental Europe. This is an area where I think the structuralist perspective can be used with profit. Kicking the peasants off the land was inspired by greedy landowners who wanted to grow crops for market, as urbanization grew. Urbanization and markets were conjoined, because cities could not grow their food. When slaves were used, it was easier to just take the agricultural surplus and ship it to the city. Rome largely worked that way in its empire days. But an industrialized workforce could not have appeared unless agriculture could provide the surplus that could support people who were not engaged in farming. And some numbers will help make this clear.
The carrying capacity of Earth is less than ten million people using the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. When agriculture began, it took more work for less calories to feed a person, which is partly why today’s anthropologists think that agriculture was a response to population pressures. Hunter-gatherers would not have chosen agriculture unless it was forced on them. For instance, the natives of the West coast of North America were familiar with agriculture, as it was engaged in only a few hundred miles inland, in today’s Arizona, and the great agricultural civilization of Mesoamerica was not so far away. By the time of Christopher Columbus, maize farming was engaged in from Chile to New England. It diffused to everywhere that the natives needed it to, but the Pacific Northwest culture got half of its calories from salmon:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#northwest
The natives of California, below the Salmon Belt, had a diverse food supply that consisted of acorns, fish, and other hunted and gathered foods. They were doing fine, and had no need of agriculture. The natives where I grew up, long ago exterminated, by the Spanish, and then the whites:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra
had one of the few truly peaceful cultures on Earth, but it was a response to population pressures. They had hunger and war, but developed a society that overcame it. The Chumash at European contact did not have slaves or warriors, and they had a network of cooperation and economic interdependence that seems to have been rather unique (See Fagan’s Before California for more), particularly for a hunter-gatherer society.
But when the first cities appeared, only a few percent of the population, for the combined city and its hinterland, could be freed from producing food. Sumeria had a hinterland with about twenty times the population of the cities. With more than 90% of the population engaged in food production and distribution (and material for clothing), there was not much opportunity to learn the skills that attended the development of civilization. Until very recently on the historical scale, the life of a peasant was one of toil, illiteracy, simple pleasures, and a short life.
1245 in England was the height of the “good times” of the Medieval Warm Period, and in Winchester, in southern England:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester
the average farmworker lived to be 24 years old, and that was for the few that survived childhood. The skeletal deformities of both farmers and fisher-folk of the era are mute testament to their nasty, brutish, and short lives, which only got worse when the Medieval Warm Period ended and the Little Ice Age began.
Also, wheat was a far inferior crop when compared to rice, maize, and potatoes. The potato was several times more productive than wheat, and the Irish soon came to almost entirely subsist on it, which caused a population explosion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#explosion
and the potato blight that devastated Ireland led to a great deal of immigration to the USA.
In the quest of profits, the English landowners pursued increased agricultural productivity and efficiency, and by 1700, had probably reached its peak “efficiency,” on the eve of industrialization. Until 1700s England, no people had ever attained the level of agricultural productivity and efficiency that allowed more than 30% of the workforce to be liberated from agricultural duties. But by 1800, 60% of the workforce no longer worked in agriculture. That is one of the primary upshots of the Industrial Revolution.
In 1825, England produced as much iron as the rest of the world combined. By 1806, 97% of England’s iron production was powered by coal. A worker in an English cotton mill in 1825 could produce 200-300 times as much as a worker in a traditional setting. Canals and railroads were going up at a breakneck pace. In 1840, England had only 22% of its workforce in agriculture, which was a proportion that the USA would not attain until 1930. The population of England and Wales went from 6 million in 1740 to 15.7 million in 1840. The world had never seen anything like it before.
The Industrial Revolution was an energy revolution above all else, and coal did not immediately take the day. Wind power for ships, and water power for mills, stayed competitive with coal well into the 1800s.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=576615&highlight=competitive#post576615
I will get to the USA soon and don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but in 1840, there were 60,000 water-powered establishments in the USA, and less than 1,200 steam engine-powered establishments.
Time for work.

Hi:
Not much time this morning, but the industrialization of England obviously had many downsides, and in ways where I am somewhat sympathetic to Level 5s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
Although freeing people from agricultural duties meant an increase in real wealth, it was a mixed bag for everyone involved, except for the capital class. While the caste system in England became less pronounced with industrialization:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_structure_of_Britain#Informal_classifications_and_stereotypes
Britain still has its royalty, the Queen still makes knights and dames, with the USA having a more secular version, with the president handing out medals and awards. The treatment of British children became worse in ways with industrialization, with them being forced into the factories:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labour#Industrial_Revolution
The USA emulated those practices, well into the 20th century. But industrialization also hastened the end of chattel slavery. Women also began to be liberated in the industrialized world, but it was a long struggle and continues. What industrialization most helped Britain at, however, was conquering the world. It is no accident that the first nation to industrialize had the world’s first global empire, and that its offspring, then rival, then master, has been the world’s imperial kingpin since World War II. I have seen scholars (exclusively white men, of course :) ) defend British and American hegemony as the most benevolent empires in history. That is like saying that a father does not beat his children as much as he once used to. Don’t ask those suffering under our boot how benevolent our rule is. In some ways, nothing has changed, where energy is the game, and the empire takes it where it finds it. The earliest cities battled over wood and access to the forests that they raped to get their energy-produced materials:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554340&viewfull=1#post554340
Rome waged genocidal wars to control the Mediterranean, and then turned the entire Mediterranean periphery into an energy supply for Rome, as the grain and wood barges disappeared into Rome’s maw:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=562534&highlight=baths#post562534
Overland in Europe, it was conquest and raping the forests to fuel the glass, iron, and other proto-industrial efforts.
Britain was able to plunder its coal fields internally for centuries, but liquids are highly superior fuels, especially for powering mobile technology such as ships and cars, and when the British Navy adopted oil as its preferred fuel:
http://www.epmag.com/archives/digitalOilField/5911.htm
just as the USA was having a binge on cars:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford#Model_T
the fate of the Middle East was sealed. The USA’s recent genocidal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, with Britain carrying our bags for us, are all about the fuel for our industrialized economies. No other justification survives even minimal scrutiny, and even Americans are not stupid enough to really believe that we are there to “liberate” them, fight “terror” and the like, but those make nice cover stories, the kinds of cover stories that have been concocted by every empire for all time. Astute American observers have been dissecting our imperial lies for a long time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#twain
but the imperial class keeps churning out the lies, and they become just plausible enough so that everybody does not fall over laughing when they hear them:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/
It is all about the plunder and always has been. So it is, in a world of scarcity.
And while we slaughter millions to steal their resources and subjugate the survivors so that they can form a pool of cheap labor, Godzilla looks on and laughs. Make no mistake, Godzilla is not very concerned with those imperial games, as he rides at a higher level. As long as we slaughter and exploit each other, or obsess about conspiratorial goings on, Godzilla has the game well in hand, because when we play those games, we act like victims, and victims are easy to control. If enough of us began thinking and acting like creators, it would be game over for Godzilla, and he knows it.
I want to finish with a rather bizarre series of events that happened in the past few hours. I don’t remember my dreams very often, but when I do, they are often doozies. Last night, I dreamed that I was kind of led into an underground facility by some black ops guys, who kind of befriended me, but there was also a good cop/bad cop thing happening. One guy was challenging me, calling me full of it, while the other one was nodding in recognition. They sat me down, in an underground base setting, and I was not sure what the agenda was. Just then, some woman walked up behind me, and was about to inject me with a kind of injection gun. I turned around and avoided her gun, and asked what the heck was happening, and she said that they just needed to ask me some questions, and the good cop guy tried to assure me that it was OK. At that moment, I was happy as hell that I purposely did not know where my friend got his little underground show:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
At that moment, the dream drove me out of my sleep, and I did not go back to sleep. I have never had a dream like that before, not even remotely. As I woke up and read my email, I got a couple of emails from a source that everybody at Avalon knows well, and it was about underground bases, exotic technology, and the like. I never received anything like that before from that source, so that is my Twilight Zone moment of the day. :)
Time for work.

"It will be understood that fear and scarcity are related as are love and abundance".
Say's it all really. thank you Wade, Love and light to you.
Wade Frazier
27th March 2013, 14:09
Hi:
Thanks Sheme. I am glad that you understand, but sometimes I think that I am too close to it all, where things that are obvious to me are invisible to others. That is one of the hazards of what I am doing. I have seen people analyze that statement and misunderstand abundance, love, fear, and scarcity. I saw somebody recently try to make the case that fear is a mental state, not an emotional one. I saw somebody make the case that the windfall fruit pile that Jane Goodall used to bait chimpanzees, so that she could study them, was abundance. When I would see those kinds of reactions, I think that I was seeing an addiction to scarcity, which is rooted in fear. Were they even trying to understand? As I say, it all starts in the heart, and I am truly looking for needles in haystacks.
I have an early morning meeting, so this will be short, but one thing that I wanted to make clear is that the path to industrialization that humanity has taken so far is the path that it took. It is not the path that it needed to take. It does not necessarily reflect human nature, and even if it did, humans have the ability to rise above their natures and change them. We are the “intelligent,” social animal that can manipulate its environment, and that has created different ways of being. While studying how it is, how it was, and speculating on how it can be, it can be easy to think that how it is is how it is supposed to be, and the past we took to get here was the only path, which can mean that the future is also set, so let’s all go back to watching TV. :) That is fatalistic, and denies our agency and free will, and I doubt it is accurate.
To get historical, an ideal of a historian is to keep a sense of historical contingency, which means to avoid being Whiggish:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#whig
and seeing the human journey as an unending story of progress, similar to how American high school and even college history texts are an unending tale of glory:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms
Events did not have to turn out how they did. We are left with what happened, not how it had to happen. To call warfare human nature is selling us short. That is like saying that rape is human nature, or slavery, or murder. And even if it was, do we want to do something about it? People have tried to call homosexuality unnatural for a long time, but the discovery of homosexuality in nature – and a lot of it – wrecked that argument.
In science, the study of the galaxy, this planet, and the journey of life on Earth shows how many dynamics have interacted, and how much of the story on this planet is certainly not the one that had to happen, but it was the one that did. As Einstein said, the best scientists lived in a sort of awe about it all, and knew that there was a lot more than met the eye:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein
To get mystical, Seth talked about probable and parallel realities, where our decisions each day opened the door to new realities. All of my study of what is and what has been has been partly to understand how things work, but it is what we do today that determines our tomorrow. But until we have a better understanding of how things have worked and how they do today, it is easy to get sucked into all manner of unproductive activities, get sucked down the rabbit holes of theories and ideologies that do not really mean much, even if they are valid.
My goal from all of this is concerted positive action, but until enough of us can learn to row, and row in the same direction, we are not going anywhere, or not anywhere fun.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

There is something that struck a cord within me.
I have been following and reading your posts, ever since you came to Avalon.
Have been listening to you since the Camelot days, with your interview with Brian O' as an associate.
My issue with you is, if I don't put my face and name on my Avator. Then i am not serious about the whole game! My name is Roy Creech and I live in Georgetown, Kentucky. Where do you live?
Maybe you would be suprised of all the people, you would like to get in your choir.

Hi Ol’ Roy:
I am easily found, and Godzilla has had me under surveillance, probably continually, since 1988. I have written plenty on why the choir I have in mind will not be comprised of anonymous members:

and I am not going to keep repeating myself on that score. Being in the choir is not going to be like joining an Old Boys’ club, or some wonderful spotlight to bask in. It is going to be hard, thankless work. I am giving up about $200K of income to write my upcoming hymnal, and that just goes on top of the many millions that I passed up on my journey. The “remuneration” for being in the choir will be a bit less onerous, but it will be a lot of hard work for no worldly gain, but it just might help Heaven on Earth manifest.
For any choir, there are tryouts. Imagine me going to the local choir (Seattle has a bunch of them), and announce that I am going to join. What do you think they might say first? “Tryouts are next week.” I have yet to see you sing, Ol’ Roy, especially not the songs I will be looking for. That post that you just made is anything but singing. The people who I will be recruiting/inviting will already be singing, on the Internet and elsewhere. You or anybody else is welcome to form a choir of the anonymous:

but that is not in my plan. I will require at least that much courage. When I hear people giving their reasons for why they need to be anonymous, I always hear in the background, usually unspoken, “I am afraid to! I cannot afford to!” That is OK, but that is not who I am looking for, not for the choir. It is going to be a choir of love, not fear. It is my hope that the choir will reach ten times their number, and people can be one of those, but they will also be the people doing something, and that is where the rubber hits the road. If people want to hide behind their anonymity in the choir, there is no way that they will muster the courage to actually do something, although the people who sing can only sing, and that is fine by me. I am looking for singers, not soldiers. What Sandy and Ilie posted today over here is what I have in mind:

Hi Dennis:
I am not telling the half of it, I am afraid. In my personal life, I get about zero support for what I am doing. Even people whose lives I subsidize are rarely helpful, but have agendas that are usually at cross-purposes with what I am doing. I have had to send friends and family on their way when they actually began to attack me, and all of them lived off of my largesse, too. My case may seem to be extreme, but everybody that I know who has walked a path like mine reports similar, heartbreaking experiences.
The people really trying to do good in the world not only have to face society’s enforcers, and the higher the level that you play the game, the bigger the enforcers, but they usually have the deepest daggers plunged in their backs by their families, “friends,” colleagues, and so-called “allies.” Of all the bitter truths encountered on a journey like mine, that might be the most bitter.
Whistleblowers report the same thing:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#whistleblower1
The problem is that we are an egocentric species that rarely sees beyond our immediate self-interest. When people have an egocentric awareness, they can’t see the bigger picture and are not even interested in it. It is all about gratifying their egos, those frightened little entities. And people like that are not only easily manipulated by the social managers, but people operating at a higher level of awareness (call it soul-centric, if you will), are not only incomprehensible to the egocentric thinkers, but if they are close to the egocentric (as in family, friend, co-worker), they become seen as a great threat, somebody who rocks the boat.
In a world of scarcity, people learn their tricks to survive, and that is what life is all about, to them. They comprise nearly the entirety of humanity at this time. That is just where we are as a species, as we rush toward the abyss. If life was not all about carving out niches in scarcity-based economies, and people experienced true abundance, might their souls come out more? I think so, but that might be my folly, and what I am trying will simply not work, and there is nothing to do but wait for Jeb or George P. Bush to become the next president or two. As Roads’s mentor said, most people are just happy as clams with this life:

In the next life, I will incarnate in that heavenly world, if I even come back at all, while 99.9% of the rest come back, if there is a world to come back to, where George Bush the Eighth comes up with a draconian plan to relocate all the people being displaced by our rising oceans, leading another genocidal invasion of a people who have something we want (Canada will be easy to invade and conquer, as we steal all that land that will become arable with global warming, and while the true motivation will be transparently easy to see by anybody over age 3, most Americans will act like they can’t see it http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/ , as they will believe anything that keeps their bellies full and gas in the tank).

That all just comes with this territory, I am sorry to say.

Hi:
Back to the rise of Europe. To go back to my post on England’s population explosion during the early days of the Industrial Revolution:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653078&viewfull=1#post653078
How could a few million people conquer most of a world of nearly a billion?
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/timeline.htm#industrial
Similar questions have been asked about the Conquistadors, and how a few hundred men could conquer empires of millions, first the Aztecs:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec
and then the Incas:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#inca
Superiority in energy-leveraged violence is the answer. It was also rarely the case that they invaded people living in peace and plenty, but people doing what people do, exploiting each other, living on the ragged edge of scarcity. But Europe brought devastation to those they encountered, wherever they encountered them. There were only a few groups not immediately devastated. One was those who sold themselves to the invaders as useful, such as the Tlaxcalans:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#tlaxcala
the Westos:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#charleston
the Mohegans:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#thanksgiving
and others, at least while they had their utility. The Tlaxcalans can claim that life was good after they sold themselves to the Spanish, but that is very relative. The place is an economic disaster today, compared to the West.
One common dynamic was for the natives to invite Europeans into their quarrels with their neighbors, usually using the Europeans’ superior weaponry and tactics to subdue their neighbors. Those often enough turned into genocides, and it could rebound onto the initial belligerent, such as the Huron experience:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#champlain
When New Zealand’s Maoris got ahold of European weapons, it was not long before they invaded, slaughtered, and enslaved the people of the Chatham Islands:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_Islands#The_M.C4.81ori_conquest_and_genocide
Not long after being “discovered” by the British, the Hawaiians' inter-islands’ quarrels became an outright imperial conquest by Kamehameha, using European weapons and tactics, resulting in a huge battle on Oahu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamehameha_I#The_Conquest_of_Hawai.CA.BBi_Island
A century later, Hawaii lost its independence to the new burgeoning empire on the scene, the USA:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hawaii
Other survivors were cultures who knew the game and kept Europeans out for as long as they could, such as the Chinese and Japanese. On the periphery were some natives in the waste lands who harried the invaders and “settlers” for centuries, such as the Apaches and Mapuche ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapuche#War_of_Arauco ), and some others at the margins, where it was not worth it for the invaders to mount an effort to just wipe the slate clean. And there is an exception or two where the rulers were able to dance well enough with the competing European interests to at least have a semblance of independence, such as Thailand, but again, that is very relative.
Usually what happened was that the Europeans invaded and conquered, and where they wanted the land, they just wiped out and/or displaced the natives and took the land (North America, South Africa, Rhodesia, southern South America, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and so on), and where there was a large sedentary population that did not immediately die from introduced diseases and slavery, the Europeans set themselves up as the ruling class, milking the civilization. India is a prime example of that dynamic.
When railroads were invented, which were not possible without coal to smelt the iron and run the trains, the pattern in Europe, the USA, and other white nations was that the imperial capitals were hubs of the railroads, with the railroads all leading to the metropolises, bringing them what they needed to thrive (food, coal, etc.). In the imperial hinterland that was being milked for food and raw materials, the railroads ran from the mines and plantations to ports, to be shipped to the white nations, with India and Africa being two primary examples. There was a conceit among the Europeans, begun by the English, that spoke of the imperial “deal” as being all about “free trade.” That is a big subject that I will cover soon, but it was anything but free, and was intended to exploit the “traded” to Europe’s benefit. It was just another variation on the imperial formula, which arose with industrialization.
The last peoples to fall to Europe were the closest, the Islamic culture centered in the Ottoman Empire:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ottoman
Which was not carved up en masse until World War I, when all of that oil became coveted by the Europeans. And a century later, they never really left for long, led today by that imperial newcomer, the USA, which does not like to call itself an empire, except in frank moments here and there:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651262&viewfull=1#post651262
And as Ilie noted, how I can stay positive about our future is no easy task:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy&p=654142&viewfull=1#post654142
and some days are better than others, but what all of the above has in common is economic scarcity, with people readily sacrificing others in their quest for economic “advancement” and security. On the positive side, early industrialization is when, for the first time, economics was not seen in strictly zero-sum-game terms. It was realized that plundering one’s neighbor was not strictly necessary for economic advancement, at least if a society could obtain and exploit the energy of fossil fuels. I will be exploring that one soon, but for now, it is time for work.

Hi:
When Europe began sailing the high seas and conquering the world, it set many dynamics in motion. Some are called positive feedbacks, in scientific parlance, and others are called negative feedbacks. Positive and negative feedbacks mean if a response to a stimulus ends up making more stimulus, or dampens it.
The Medieval Warm Period was one of the initial stimuli for the rise of Europe, as Europe enjoyed more solar energy, which meant that it could wrench more energy from the environment, as more land could be farmed. The concomitant spread of watermills and the horse collar were energy innovations that allowed for the rise in Europe’s population and standard of living during the Medieval Warm Period.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=607647&highlight=medieval#post607647
Europe’s forests had largely recovered from Rome’s rapacity, to only be deforested again during the Medieval Warm Period. The introduction of the Classic Greek writings via the seizure of Islamic libraries led to humanism and the rise of science:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=607647&highlight=medieval#post607647
The Fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453 led to more Greek scholarship making it into Europe. The development of ships that could sail the oceans was the technical feat of its age, with a sailing ship generating several hundred horsepower, which was the greatest energy technology in history to that time. Those interacting dynamics led to the rise of Europe, and then Europe set about plundering the planet. It was not just Earth’s peoples that were plundered, but the densest energy “resource” of the oceans, whales, were driven to the brink of extinction:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling
Fishing boats plied the North Atlantic, reaching the fishing grounds off of North America perhaps before Columbus’s fateful journey of 1492:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Banks_of_Newfoundland#History
Competition amongst the imperial rivals led to advances in social organization and technology, allowing for greater imperial prowess. The English and the Dutch formed the first forerunners of modern corporations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company
Science began its rise at the same time, although it was a fitful process and it arguably went astray in ways from the beginning:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=603420&highlight=vesalius#post603420
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=595255&viewfull=1#post595255
Those were all interacting dynamics, but they all road atop the ability to wrest more energy from the environment. That energy boost allowed for more activities to be engaged in that were not only previously unfeasible, many were simply unimaginable. Sailing around the world was unimaginable a hundred years before Magellan’s crew did it:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621451&highlight=magellan#post621451
The Copernican Revolution was Kuhn’s primary example of a paradigm shift:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions#The_Copernican_Revolution
The competition between England and its rivals, and the rise of people such as Newton, were “positive feedbacks” that further encouraged England’s rise. Newton was an alchemist, and his mercury experiments may have made him crazy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Later_life_of_Isaac_Newton#1693
but playing with chemicals and metallurgy led to the use of coal to smelt iron:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Darby_I
while at the same time, the world’s first practical steam engine was invented:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcomen_steam_engine
which led to the steam engine that powered the Industrial Revolution:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt_steam_engine
and machines were developed that reduced the need for human labor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton-spinning_machinery
Those all had interacting effects that led to the rise of England above its rivals. England tapped the energy of coal out of necessity, as its forests were gone and it had coal available.
Coal was being burned on the British Isles as long as five thousand years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#Early_uses_as_fuel
The Chinese used coal to smelt copper three thousand years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#Early_uses_as_fuel
and they baked out the impurities nearly two thousand years ago, to make coke:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel)#China
The Classic Greeks used coal for metal smelting, and the Romans were mining British coal nearly two thousand years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_coal_mining#Early_history
So, coal and coke were not exactly new to human civilization. The English began to make coke in the 1500s:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel)#England
But it was not until Darby that the great union of coke and iron was created, and the primary materials of the Industrial Revolution were put into play. The Industrial Revolution was a revolution in those three factors of humanity’s rise:
1. Energy
2. Manipulative ability (our hands)
3. Intelligence (our brains)
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651623&viewfull=1#post651623
The machines of the Industrial Revolution not only freed human hands from drudgery, but they can do things that hands and muscles never could. A slave-born palinquin never hit 60 miles per hour or went to the moon. The reproduction of intelligence is behind the high tech revolution, and it is in its infancy. Without tapping ever-greater levels of energy, the Industrial and High Tech revolutions could not have happened. But for people who think about these issues, one incongruity stands out, even if they never even heard of people like Tesla, Moray, O’Leary, or me, and it goes like this:
“We can put men on the moon, engineer down to the atomic level in making computers, and yet we still burn fossil fuels to get our energy. What is wrong with that picture?”
The energy industry has been in a state of arrested development for more than a century (and nuclear power is a very mixed bag http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3 ), and is because the hyper-elites have kept it that way. The structuralists and other Level 3s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3
dismiss it all as a “conspiracy theory” as their minds are trapped by their ideological assumptions. I am here as living evidence that it is no theory.
On the geological time scale, the Industrial Revolution is like a spring bloom of algae, living off of a brief nutrient injection, reproducing until it is all gone, and then dying off:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=539260&highlight=bloom#post539260
The Peak Oilers see humanity as just one more algal bloom, to die off soon as we run out of our primary nutrient, fossil fuel energy. It is hard to argue against their perspective, at least from the White Science angle. The entire journey of life on Earth, and the human journey, has been one of developing ways to extract more energy from the environment:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#revolutions
and as we reach the bottom of the fossil fuel well, beginning with oil and gas (frakking, mining the Canadian Tar Sands, deep ocean drilling, and the like, is rightly seen as sucking at the dregs, not to mention that they are all environmental catastrophes in the making), the end is in sight for industrial civilization, maybe even complex life, as we fight over the remnants.
A pal recently made me aware of this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Energy-Technologies-Antigravity-Sustainability/dp/1594773807
and it looked like Brian O may have written something new that I was not aware of, so I obtained it. The book was written by my pals and fellow travelers such as Jeane Manning, Steven Greer, and Tom Valone, but my main reason for buying it was seeing what Brian wrote. Alas, it was only a transcript of his last talk:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#oleary
so there was nothing new there for me. What I found interesting, however, was Greer saying that Peak Oil was going to get us before environmental catastrophe would, as the world’s nations fight over the last barrels of oil in something out of Mad Max. The timelines of the decline off of the Peak Oil plateau and the effects of 1000 PPM carbon dioxide on the atmosphere:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=553228&viewfull=1#post553228

where if one does not do us in, another will, or they will conflate into hellish scenarios that would dwarf any nightmare that we can imagine. These are very real possibilities, and as humanity blithely sails along, oblivious, the fright of any scientist with a clue is understandable. But while they are trapped by their own ideological assumptions, they are no help in righting the ship.
I think that I have adequately covered the development of the dynamics that led to British imperial ascendancy in 1700s, to kind of have the field nearly to itself by 1800. I have long written about the genocidal effects and the environmental impacts of the early days of Europe’s conquest. The Spanish desertified parts of today’s Mexico within a hundred years of conquest, as the British also quickly did to parts of Australia:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#_edn83
The English deforested the Eastern Woodlands with as much sentience as a plague of beavers, in what was history’s most spectacular deforestation. The environmental impacts were noted by some observers of the day, but the juggernaut began rolling, which led to the man writing these words. In future posts, while I will not ignore the impact of European imperialism on the world, I will be focusing more on the rise of the USA, and not just the genocide and dispossession of the Indians, the decimation of the passenger pigeon and the bison, but the economic development of the USA. I will also focus on the economic effects of European imperialism on the world, combined with its industrialization. It set in motion dynamics that plague us to this day. The global population explosion is a direct result of the impact of Europe on the world, and here is where I will address the fears of people about FE, those Level 5s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
who can only see the potential downside of FE, without ever acknowledging its upside. That is all coming, and I expect that it is going to take me all of a busy April to cover that territory. It is increasingly looking like I am going to finish that narrative that I begin in July by the end of April:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=516792&viewfull=1#post516792
and it will form the outline of my upcoming essay, that I will finish by the end of the year, and then we will just have to see about that choir. :)
Hi Ol’ Roy. Yes indeed, those who just listen to the choir and do the work to understand the song, and even hum a few bars in the shower, will be doing important work. The choir will be doing the heavy lifting, believe it or not, but those who just listen to the song will also be doing important work. If the choir can lift somebody like Dennis and carry him along, without him needing to play Atlas anymore, that will all be gravy.

Rampant deforestation is something that has weighed heavily on me more and more as of late. My experiences in doing Taoist Neikung next to trees has lead me to believe many are sentient, and have higher wisdom. They don't have "linear" thoughts like we do, but the assumption that intellectual linear thinking is a sign of high sentience is one of humanities many errors. It's quite saddening, many of the products we use trees for could be supplied by hemp.

It is clear that we are presently at a tipping point. And our "way of life" is evidently unsustainable. Tensions inevitable.
From : http://ec.europa.eu/research/social-sciences/pdf/the-world-in-2025-report_en.pdf
"According to the UN, between now and 2025, the world population will increase by 20 % to reach 8 billion inhabitants (6.5 today). 97 % of this growth will occur in the developing countries (Asia, Africa).
In 2025, 61 % of the world population will be in Asia. The population of India will approach the population of China (which will have started to decrease). With a high fertility rate, South Asia will experience a high population growth while this growth will be moderate in South-East Asia and low in East Asia. (...)
Before 2025 China could become the second world economic power and India the sixth economic power of the world ahead of Italy and behind France. In 2030 the “global middle class” (with an income between 4 000 and 17 000 dollars a year) could account for 1 billion people, of which 90 % will be living in developing countries. (...)
According to the International Energy Agency in 2025 the world energy demand will have increased by 50 % in relation to 2005 and will reach 15 billion tons oil equivalent. Oil production will have started to stagnate (peak), coal is expected to become the first energy source between now and 2050. But in 2025 oil will still largely be in the lead.
In the trend scenario of the International Energy Agency, it is envisaged that from now to 2030 coal consumption, in particular for power stations in China and India, will increase by more than 50 %. In this trend scenario the share of carbon-based energy should remain very largely dominant in 2030: Fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas) account for 80 % of the world’s primary energy mix while nuclear (fission) and renewables (hydro, wind, solar, etc.) account for 10 % each.
In the hypothesis of an accelerated scarcity of oil and gas, with much higher prices, there will be an increased use of other energy sources which present risks or have little interest in combating climate change: oil shales, liquefied coal, first-generation bio-fuels, firewood resulting from deforestation... The security of energy supply will increasingly be called into question in Europe. The EU will be more dependent on external sources than in 2005 (if policy does not change). In 2030, the Union will import almost 70 % of its energy needs."

Hi:
I am hosting a big Easter bash for my family, so I am going to be a house and yard slave for the next few days, so will be pretty quiet here. But briefly, Enishi, I know people who talk to trees and plants, and in that future Earth that Roads visited, the trees talked back:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
and they were nicer than the ones that Dorothy met in Oz. :) Seth said that the consciousness of a tree focuses on the spot where the tree will be about fifty years before it is “born,” and for about fifty years after it dies.
Again, with FE and just White Science materials technology, never mind Godzilla’s Golden Hoard, there is no reason to ever chop down another tree, but there is also no need to grow hemp, cotton, bamboo, etc., either. No plants need to be sacrificed in the service of our lifestyles, except what we eat, and since fruit is our ideal food, and fruit is a symbiosis of plant and animal, eating will not even harm much plant life. Long story, but I will go there in detail one day. In that world that Roads visited, their relationship with nature is something that is hard to even register on our awareness. What I would give to visit that world for a day. I will reproduce the full text of Roads’s visit one day soon.
The 3-D printing revolution that we see happening today is a baby step toward the replicators that we see on Star Trek. I am sure that Godzilla has something on the replicator-scale, but how far along it may be, I do not know. I doubt that they can “print” life, but they may “print” stuff that comes close. That is speculation on my part, but in light of what I know, harming any complex life to use in our lifestyles will one day be seen as one more primitive practice that we outgrew, if we can turn the corner, and that segues to Cara’s post.
Peak Oil (production of “conventional” oil) may have been reached back in 2005-2006, and we are already on the plateau that won’t last much longer. So, Mad Max may be closer than any of us want to admit. At the rate we are going, 1,000 PPM carbon dioxide might come in a century, or it could take longer (many variables at play, which we don’t understand well, such as, “Can the oceans keep absorbing carbon dioxide like they do?”). With FE, we could bring it back to 270 PPM pretty quickly. But we are already seeing “storms of the century” happening every few years. Most Westerners have no idea how vulnerable our food supply is to even modest climate change. It is one of several areas where we have our toes over the edge of the abyss. With FE, all of those trends can be reversed almost overnight. That is the upside. And the downside is easily seen as completely insane with even a little sentience, and when abundance beckons, maybe people will keep chasing after the abyss, but are we really that stupid and suicidal? I am betting that we aren’t, and when being sentient means something, people might decide to live in that state, instead of the brain-numbed state that so many seek today. Thinking clearly can be one heck of a lot of fun.
Time for yard chores, on this nice day, about the first of the year here.

In radical moments during WWII, some mothers had to strangle their own infant children when their cries risked the life and Continuity of others , mother earth and mother sun may have the need to do the same if earth infants will not grow soon. sentinence is a missing component and the unbelievable needs to happen in order to cause accelerated growth of the children.
“It would be almost unbelievable, if history did not record the tragic fact that men have gone to war and cut each other's throats because they could not agree as to what was to become of them after their throats were cut”
~ Walter Parker Stacy
This may pretty much reflect the situation. I am aware to the infinite and abundant power of FE, and that every citizen has the right for it , I dream about it. But I am not yet sure, that we as collective are now deserve it at this time and stage. this is not an easy thought, and it probably reflects my current mood, you Wade Frazier, are a much better person than I am. I am still undecided

Exactly!!! Boy I wish everybody would wake up with this question in mind!!
I have friend passionate about cars. She knows every model and can talk hours on end, if you give the chance. And we have a joke between us.
She comes to me and says: "Did you see this new model of XYZ? It has sensors, it can park by itself, has a super smart computer" and she goes on and on and on, trying to peak my interest, knowing I am a nerd, so I'd would like a car that has a computer in it!!!
Once she is done I simply ask: "Does it still burn fossil fuel?!"... She replies: "Well, yeah...." and I say: "Then is a very, very old model and I could not care less about it!" And then she kinda gets it, the irony of having such advanced stuff as "accessories" on a high class car, but then having it run on the same stupid old engine that only got shinier or eats up more fuel. That's all we can do in the last 100+ years? Just look at computers in the last 2 years!

Hi:
I was a productive house and yard slave yesterday, so I have a little time to post.
Hi Limor:
Let me take your heart into my arms. With your family history and present life, I can sympathize with your struggle, although I know that I can never really know it. I can only imagine it, and poorly at that. I know the struggle so well, when we can glimpse what is possible and compare it with what we see in the world around us. It is not easy to keep our eyes lifted to the possible, especially when it does not seem possible. The crazy-making part is to know that FE and those other transformative technologies already exist, and it can be really crazy-making to see all of the effective apologists and enablers for Godzilla, arguing that humanity does not deserve abundance, cannot handle it, etc.
I have watched the miracles that come with love, and even I have had my deep struggles, even when I was an instrument of “God’s will,” or whatever that voice in my head was. I am riding the ragged edge myself, staggering home from 15-hour days at the office. I am getting too old for this. :)
As I have written plenty, maybe the mass of humanity is not ready for love and abundance, but the vast majority of humanity is here to play kill or be killed, and who am I to ruin their game?

It may indeed be that way, and if it is, then maybe my efforts can be seen as a recruiting mission for people who want to incarnate into this world before long:

But not so long ago, slavery was seen as “human nature,” and women were supposed to all be barefoot and pregnant, and history is full of people who carved out their niches of hell and defended them to the death. In my personal and public life, from almost all directions, people either try to discourage my efforts, attack them, undermine them, dismiss them, distort them, purposely misunderstand them, etc., and their reactions are all variations of “Why rock the boat?” Every person who ever made this world a better place, leave aside the epochal nature of FE, so epochal that almost nobody today can even imagine it (I was just writing on that subject this morning http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy&p=655337&viewfull=1#post655337), has had that lack of support, those around them thinking they are crazy, etc. It just comes with the territory, and it gets magnified by orders of magnitude when the game is FE and abundance.
Your heart has taken you closer to a world based on abundance than you might think, and it is not easy to have a heart like that in this world. On that subject, I can speak with more authority than almost any other. You are in good company, young lady.
Hang in there!
Love,
Wade
P.S. As Father Guido Sarducci once said, Easter was his favorite holiday, because anybody can be born. :)
Hi Ilie:
Hey! We have fuel injection now! Such high tech marvels cars are today! :) Google is close to perfecting the car that can drive itself, but their “visionary” work falls way, way short of FE, as can be easily seen. It is that way with almost every “visionary” and “futurist” that I have ever encountered. Truly glimpse FE and its potential, and everything else becomes small ball.
Time for chores.

...I am aware to the infinite and abundant power of FE, and that every citizen has the right for it , I dream about it. But I am not yet sure, that we as collective are now deserve it at this time and stage. this is not an easy thought, and it probably reflects my current mood...
...I am still undecided
Luckiely, there are some better days when I actually believe the unbelievable is about to happen...
I think we all feel this way sometimes Limor. That said, I’ve lost count of the number of times your posts have inspired me - filled with deep concern for others, sensitivity and kindness, as they so often are. We’re all sifting through the many layers of illusion this world has thrown at us, and the fierce wounds that accompany it can be debilitating.
But when I lose heart over this issue, I think to myself... it’s not who we are being now that inspires me to believe in this, but who we are really, underneath, and what we could become given the chance. I don’t think anyone taking part in this discussion on this thread is doing it because they’re convinced it’s safe and wise to put a free-energy device in everyone’s hand tomorrow. At least I know that’s not what Wade is advocating. But if those of us who can see the light of potential in humanity can keep creating the alternative vision, the true potential that this world and its distorted cultures have encouraged us to forget, we can open the door to more people to see another ‘reality’ worth believing in and pursuing. As I’ve said, you are one of the people who helps me see that it’s a conversation worth having. The fact that you admit your fear is a testament to how much you care about doing what’s right.
Humanity is capable of much more than what is reflected by cultures that have us pinned against a wall, distracted and preoccupied with our own survival. Everyone has good days and bad days. But the good days, and the visions that flow from them, are the gems worth holding onto. They are the truth that deserves to be nourished and nurtured, the way this world so often forgets to do. They are who we really are and the glimpse of what we can become.
Much strength to you where you are.
===== P o s t U p d a t e =====
To clarify, when I wrote of creating an alternative vision, I meant an alternative to the fear or ignorance of free energy, an alternative to the survivalist culture we have now. I did not mean an alternative to (1) Wade’s (and our) vision of abundance, or (2) the belief in the need for patience and responsibility in the FE realm. Having read through this thread I'm truly grateful for the way it advocates patience, the importance of visualising a better world, and truly doing the work to understand what that shift requires.
I think Ilie got it but I just wanted to be sure.
My thanks to you again Wade for all your great work.
My good wishes to all

Hi:
I can take a small break between chores.
Hi Melinda:
The issue of timing can be important, and nobody in these realms fails to feel the pressure of time. I think it may have been Bucky who first said that the race is between education and catastrophe. I am sympathetic to people who want to do something now, but this is not the place for it. They need to go see Dennis, Greer, and a few others, if they want to go do something now on the FE front.
One of Dennis’s favorite sayings in business is: “There are the quick and the dead.” I have had enough leaping, then looking, in my life. I did not see where it really got us anywhere, other than becoming Godzilla’s lunchtime diversion.
If we are going to turn the corner as a species, and the Ascended Masters or ETs do not intervene, there is no way that the world is going to become all enlightened before FE comes out. The best that we can hope for, and it informs my efforts, is for enough people to raise their awareness high enough, in a comprehensive way. That has not happened yet, not even close, but somebody has to start something along those lines, and I did not see anybody else trying, so here I am.
I have made my position on this question clear:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#question
and others have different answers, and everybody is entitled to their opinion, even if it is wrong. :)

Hi:
I keep writing about how fracking, mining the tar sands, and the like is sucking at the dregs. Here is another dregs-sucking scheme:
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/03/30/we-have-the-worlds-largest-oil-resourceand-we-may.aspx?source=isesitlnk0000001&mrr=1.00
Here is only some of what is wrong with stuff like that:
1. Even if it is extractable, the EROI will be miserable, which means that increasing amounts of energy and effort will be used to extract and refine it. In practical terms, that means stuff like the energy used to power homes, business, and cities will instead be diverted to the infrastructure devoted to mining and refining those marginal sources of energy. Kerogen is the stuff that can turn into oil under the right geological conditions, but mining it is essentially not waiting for the geological processes to “refine” it, but to “go upstream” in the process. That means that great amounts of energy are needed to turn that kerogen into oil, which reduces the EROI. The EROI for oil a hundred years ago was over a hundred, now it is going below 5 for marginal stuff like the tar sands, and that kerogen will be lower than that. The diversion of energy resources to mine and refine it is far from an academic exercise. Already, for the tar sands, all of Canada’s natural gas production will need to be diverted to the tar sands operations, as well a great deal of the nation’s electricity. Stuff like “Tar Sands Blackouts” can happen, or homes cannot heat with natural gas, because it was diverted to the tar sands operation.
2. The pollution will be awesome. All the land where the tar sands are being mined will become a toxic wasteland. Mining the kerogen will be an even bigger catastrophe. The problems of fracking are like a Sunday picnic compared to what mining the kerogen will present.
3. It will continue to vent carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, in fact in even greater amounts, as more carbon dioxide pollution will be created for each unit of useable energy extracted.
4. That site with the article is a capitalist site, and that stuff like the capitalism-on-steroids that Godzilla represents is way more than their ideological horizon can handle. Going after the kerogen, under capitalist organization, is more of the same that has us gotten us into this mess. It is like a drunk drinking himself sober.
I could go on for days about the insanity of it, but that is a start.
Best,
Wade

This is somewhat like the difference between getting the oil out of a bucket of pure oil versus a bucket full of sand and some oil mixed with the sand. But this comparison does not do justice to the potential environmental impact.
Here is quote from the article:
The possibility that oil will reach such high prices would prove to be extremely prohibitive to economic growth. So hopefully we'll be able to diversify energy sources enough to mitigate the impact between now and 2035. It may be best to think of the Green River Formation as an "in case of emergency, break glass" resource: While we can hope we'll never need it, it's good to know it's there.
Free Energy does not enter these people's minds at all :)

Hi ~ I do appologise for my downer post from yesterday. My sincere thanks to you Wade and to you Melinda for your great understanding, you both are such a good examples of how it looks like when one's heart is in the lead, I often get this example also from Ilie and Sandy and with most everyone else that take the time to post here. I agree that each of us probably struggle with this issue when constantly putting our hearts and minds to it, it is after all the grandest issue in our life- Energy. the difference between what is real and what is ideal is pretty large when observing the scenes going on around us, and some personal challenges probably increase this feeling.

Is this really what it is, Wade..? I bet that those who want to incarnate into this Road's world are those that know and most likely already lived in such a world before, so this will be a little bit like "preaching to the converted". Your mission is, obviously, directed to the whole planet, or perheps towards a large part of it, who will be requested to make the jump. You are most certainly here to help them. They however at this time need to be carried like a sack of potetoes, energetically speaking, but it is likely that things may lighten up and only the future will tell what will happen.
Originally posted by Wade Frazier: " In my personal and public life, from almost all directions, people either try to discourage my efforts, attack them, undermine them, dismiss them, distort them, purposely misunderstand them, etc., and their reactions are all variations of “Why rock the boat?”
It is an honorable mission the one that you chose now. The greater the size of the task the greater resistance it will meet, so it is my turn (I may have no authority, but simply the need to say it) to tell you to hang in there, please, Wade. you took a lot upon yourself this time around, and you will be blessed with your efforts.
Energy, is not only about fossil fules, food, coal, land or any one of those resources that make the world act like crazy, it is also about this subtle thing which touches physics and can be a transformable force from one moment to another, it is also the best building material in the world if we only know how to use it.
------------------------------------------
Tar sands - what a bleak picture, quite unresanoble from every angle and this is the ongoing reality of this planet. Money makes the world go round, and not even life itself (or the quality of it) seems to be in any contest to this strong drug of the masses with it's many false illusions.
Knowing that there is an alternative to these distruction and slavement apparatuses that serves no one (well, apparently a few) is exhilarating. What do those who work in the industry and closely watch the increasing damage and how the 'benefits' are detriorating think to themselvs.. (I see that Ilie commented about it as well), surely there are some who can observe what is going on, and yet, as if under a hypnotic state, they can not overcome this obsessive search for more and more different types of fossil fules to ignite the world. It is slightly a more understandable situation with the general public that does not ask too many questions (me included, up till I learned about free energy) and put their trust on others to provide for them no matter what the cost is, how come they don't put their attention to seeking a way out, and even when they are presented with it (Dennis and Wade trying to arose the attention of environmental organisations, Brian O'leary updating some officials in Washington etc.) they feel pretty much ok to turn their backs and not pursue the free energy option, inquiring if maybe there's something to it. This is more about the individuals who are working for these industries, not the coroperations which are a rotten apple from long ago and nothing and no one will change them.
An awarness is needed, a different type of understanding and a real desire and then the change will come. Not much time left for small strides, only for the big steps.
I believe we are really on a verge of something.. I am sorry, Melinda, I really understand the importance of patience while going through this shift, you are absolutely right, but the birth pangs are already here.. can you not feel it ?
Originally posted by Melinda: "we can open the door to more people to see another ‘reality’ worth believing in and pursuing"
I completely agree and the timing for that is basically now, to be quite frank, I don't think there is a lot more time left

Hi Limor:
Another one of your provocative posts, I see. :)
Big subjects. On a better world, such as what Roads visited, I don’t remember living there. :) I obviously would like to see us moving toward that world, or one like it, in this lifetime.
One of the common themes, particularly in the mystical/channeled writings, is that people usually need to stare death in the face before they begin to wake up to their self-destructive practices. Unfortunately, I have seen far too often that that does not even work most of the time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings
But the idea that a person needs to hit bottom before they begin to wake up is common in various areas, such as drug addiction. The first and most important step toward recovery is admitting that there is a problem, but the ego is very resistant to that, because it has to admit that it is the problem.
That article on mining kerogen is an example of the junkie looking for that final high. What we are seeing, with fracking, mining the tar sands, deep-ocean drilling, and putting kerogen on the map for future plundering, has been predicted by the Peak Oil crowd for a long time, as all the good stuff (plentiful, high EROI energy sources) gets used up and, as Ilie illustrates, we are reduced to picking out pieces of oil from between grains of sand. And, as Ilie points, out, FE is totally off of their radar. If there is anything universal in circles like that, it is that total denial of FE.
In the last years of his life, Brian O was looking for an assistant to help him crunch the numbers on traditional alternative energy; direct solar and wind, mainly, as those are the two that are most commonly promoted in alternative energy circles:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#udall
and they just don’t cut it. The most mind-boggling part of my journey was not the voice in my head:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3
or the “divine intervention”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it
or knowing what is under wraps:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but the entrenched denial that I encountered, from all directions. I believe that it is a close cousin to the personal integrity issue:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity, and people won’t really discover it, not to where it becomes undeniable, until they begin playing the FE game and similar ones at a high level. When the Peak Oilers try to tell everybody that we are running out of energy, and pronto, and then feign interest in FE just long enough to dismiss it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation
or the environmentalists, with their message of doom, almost exclusively due to our energy practices, treat FE like the enemy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646730&highlight=calvinist#post646730
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
that was the most astounding part of my journey. It initially blows every FE activist away as they encounter that entrenched denial, where people choose the certainty of hell over the promise of heaven. It took me a long time to finally realize that I was seeing a generalized addiction to scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
Until the end of his life, Brian kept trying to find a chink in the armor (Dennis is still at it), whether it was presidential candidates, environmentalists, “progressives” such as Richard Branson, and so on. The door was slammed in his face every time. That is the problem, not Godzilla’s antics. He rarely needs to lift a claw, as we do almost all of his work for him. On that score, it is like that hellish world that Roads visited, where the grey beings pulling the strings:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#losers
were simply parasites, taking advantage of a situation that humanity had already created for itself. I have had to accept the idea that Godzilla and the enslaved masses are playing a game, a darkly symbiotic one. And that is where I realized that maybe they don’t want me interfering with their game, even if it entirely wipes out the planet. But I live here, too, so maybe the plan is not to sail off the edge of the cliff, oblivious, but to wake up somewhere along the way. Will it be a moment before impact? Will it be somewhere before we become airborne?
I think that I have made clear what a catastrophe humanity has been to Earth’s creatures, from the megafauna extinctions:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=539852&viewfull=1#post539852
to the indigenous peoples when Europe learned to sail the oceans, and what the USA is doing today to people with something that we want, energy in particular:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651262&viewfull=1#post651262
So if we die off by our own stupid, addicted hand, there is a certain symmetry to that, where we finally reap what we have sown and continue to sow, right up to the point when it all collapses into a hellish exit for our species. There is no guarantee that it won’t happen. There are no guarantees in physical reality, and Michael stated that species like us wipe ourselves out a third of the time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3
and maybe I just need to accept that humanity is hell-bent on going over the cliff, but in denial the entire way, until the final thought of alarm dawns as the ground comes up very fast. I have had to accept that that may indeed be the case, and that is what the souls that I share the planet with need to go through before they wake up. It will be too late for our species, but as the souls that incarnate here choose the life form that they finish up their incarnation cycles with, the memory of the catastrophe that was humanity will lead them to incarnate into sentient trees or cuttlefish, and they will finish up their soul cycle in a life form that can’t do it again. Although, if I helped plan this planet like I have been told:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=535283&highlight=gardener#post535283
then this “obsession” for this lifetime makes a lot of sense, especially if I helped melt down Atlantis, as I have also been told (by the same “archangel” that told me that I helped plan Earth school, the same one that said that I had a contract for a once-in-a-lifetime experience that unexpectedly happened later the same day).
My wife is calling to her party slave, so it is time to sign off for now. :)

Hi:
I have only a minute between party chores, but the denial of FE, and the simultaneous advocacy of austerity and depopulating the planet as some sort of “solution”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
is kind of like Robert Frost's poem “Fire and Ice”:
http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173527
where we either do not have enough energy, or too much of it. Both poles miss the mark, and both are based on fear. I actually wrote an analysis of that poem in my freshman English lit class, which the professor actually read to the class. Little did I know that nearly forty years later, I would still be referring to that poem. :)
With love, energy becomes abundant, and like Goldilocks and the porridge, the energy level is just right. :)
That is my literary and fairy tale post for the day.
Happy Easter,

This coming week it will be back to Europe’s conquest of the world and industrialization. They comprise the most momentous series of events in human history so far. It led to the greatest genocides, the greatest wars, and the greatest increase in standard of living and life expectancy, by far, that humanity has yet experienced. Richard Heinberg said that the energy of fossil fuels liberated in the Industrial Revolution is the greatest blessing and curse that humanity has known. I am sympathetic to that perspective, believe it or not, but I also know that there is another way this can all go, a way that seems to frighten people like Heinberg, who is a prototypical Level 3:

Hi:
I am finishing my second book of Paul Bairoch’s, and will be starting my third soon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bairoch
who has been remembered in posterity:
http://www.unige.ch/ses/ihise/home.html
as one of the great recent economists who devoted enormous effort toward the development of the so-called Third World and its development problems. His Cities and Economic Development goes clear back to the beginnings of civilization, and is a classic. His Economics and World History takes on many myths regarding the development of the West and the Third World.
One primary area of his investigation was the dual nature of Europe’s conquest and subjugation of the world, and the subsequent rise of industrialization. Bairoch was far from an uncaring scholar, reducing the human journey to tons of ore and food, and he tried to be careful about pointing out the limits to his economic analyses, but IMO, there were vast economic dynamics that were totally overlooked by his analyses, which points out the limits of the analyses of economists, even the best of them.
The most fundamental economic event always has been, and always will be, eating (or maybe breathing and drinking, but those have been subject to less attention; so far, people can still breathe for free). The human stomach is the bedrock economic reality. When that is not taken care of, the rest does not matter. Bairoch’s work is far more analytical than theoretical, as he amassed data from around the world and throughout history. One of the so-called myths that Bairoch set out to debunk was the idea that the West industrialized on the backs of the colonized peoples, but it was almost exclusively based on the level of goods and resources that flowed to Europe from its colonial domains. I am sure that Bairoch did not intend for it to happen that way, but his analyses missed the biggest economic event in the rise of Europe – the theft of three continents from its inhabitants. Without that theft, the European experience would have been very different, and it might not have risen at all. It was not only a unprecedented boon for the Europeans, but even more fatal for his analysis, it was far more than an “economic” disaster for the conquered and enslaved indigenous peoples: they lost their very lives, which is even more fundamental than eating, although they are joined at the hip; if you are not alive, you can’t eat, and if you can’t eat, you won’t live long, except if you are a level 19 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level19 ).
The “virgin” continents of the Western Hemisphere comprised history’s greatest material prize, bar none. Contemporary scholars have called Middle East oil history’s greatest material prize, but the land and resources of the Western Hemisphere was greater, by far, especially if we throw in Australia and New Zealand, which while technically not part of the Western Hemisphere, they suffered the same dynamics as North and South America did, with the inhabitants wiped out while the Europeans stole their land and lives, erecting European-style civilizations on them. Without that land to expand onto and exploit, the European experience would have been starkly different in many ways. Another huge economic impact that eluded Bairoch’s analysis was the impact of growing New World crops in the Old World. While Bairoch emphasized the population explosion that accompanied industrialization as the British Isles industrialized, there was no mention of the role that the potato played in that explosion. The potato was several times more productive and energy efficient than the Old World crops grown in Ireland, and the Irish quickly came to subsist almost entirely on the potato, which is primarily why its population exploded in the hundred years before the potato blight:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#explosion
Not only did the potato become a huge subsistence crop in the Old World, and still is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato#Role_in_world_food_supply
but maize is Earth’s heartiest seed crop, and is still the most common crop in the USA.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/28/corn-farmers-large-crop/2028857/
Corn and potatoes have two and three times the caloric yield that wheat does:
http://www.waldeneffect.org/blog/Calories_per_acre_for_various_foods/
and another root crop from the New World, called manioc or cassava, provides even more calories than corn and potatoes do, is a tropical staple:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/505423-the-food-value-of-tapioca/
and the sweet potato became a major subsistence crop in northern China and elsewhere:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato#Asia
Those crops of New World origin played a huge role in the rise in population and standard of living in the Old World, but it entirely escaped Bairoch’s economic analysis.
So, the biggest economic costs and benefits of Europe’s conquest of the world are passed over in silence, as Bairoch made the case that the West’s industrialization had little to do with the colonized peoples. Although Jack Weatherford was accused of plagiarism by Ward Churchill, and for cause, I think:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=622076&highlight=weatherford#post622076
his books Indian Givers and Indian Roots are good introductions to the contributions that the peoples of the Western Hemisphere made to the rest of the world, particularly the rise of Europe.
On the other side of the equation – what Europe contributed to the peoples of the New World – they brought over their technologies and domesticated crops and animals, and the natives made use of them, for a time, before the Europeans wiped them out, such as the adoption of the horse. The Plains Indians in particular saw the benefit immediately, and quickly adopted the horse. But the benefits were not long-lasting for the Indians, not when they lost their lives to the invaders. The extermination of the bison herds was a form of biological warfare against the Indians, to wipe out their food supply:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#bison
In Latin America, once the huge, sedentary populations of Mesoamerica and the Andes had been conquered, they were enslaved and virtually the entire population of conquered Latin America was put to work for the Europeans in the mines and on the plantations, which also had a genocidal effect, in numerous ways. The life expectancies on the plantations and in the mines of those early days of subjugation were measured in months. They were all death factories for the natives. Even in Mesoamerica, where the natives were treated better than they were in South America, when a new gold mine opened, the vultures literally began to circle. In today’s Columbia, the natives were driven to the mines, and the bones of the natives lined the paths to the mines so clearly that a person could not lose their way, the bones acting as trail markers.
Tens of millions of native lives were not lived, and if we carry the effect to the centuries of colonialism, hundreds of millions of lives were not lived in Latin America due to the Spanish and Portuguese invasions, which also escaped Bairoch’s economic analysis, some perhaps legitimately, but in other ways it reflects the blinkered perspective of economists, that gloss over and even ignore the roots of economics, such as being alive. Maybe that is because it is assumed or hard to quantify, but it is the bedrock that economics rides on, the ultimate economic reality.
And to the survivors of the European invasion and conquest, there was no freedom to see how the Western Hemisphere’s development might have compared to Europe’s, as Latin America was turned into a big plantation and mine for European benefit. In 1700, only three cities in Latin America had a population greater than 50,000 people: Mexico City with 100K, Potosi with 95K, and Oruro with 70K:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oruro,_Bolivia
Oruro and Potosi were mining towns, while Mexico City was the center of Spanish imperial efforts in the New World, with all the good land in Spanish hands:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec1
and all the natives, except for those who sold themselves to the Spanish and helped conquer their neighbors, such as the Tlaxcalans, were enslaved to the Spaniards, and the Spanish practices quickly began turning the region into a desert:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#environment
The distortive effects of the surviving natives being reduced to a service role to European avarice is with Latin America to this day. And after Latin America won its independence from Europe in the revolutions of the early 1800s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#bolivar
the USA then began to oppress them, beginning with stealing half of Mexico, starting with Texas:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#texas
and continuing with the huge land grabs that brought California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, etc., into the fold:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mexican_Cession_in_Mexican_View.PNG
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#mexican
In the late 1900s, the USA stole the last Spanish colonies in the fabricated Spanish-American war:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hearst
including the Philippines, which was an openly imperial undertaking:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#philippines
so much so that Britain’s imperial bard, Rudyard Kipling, welcomed the USA to the imperial smorgasbord with his poem, “The White Man’s Burden”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kipling
Kipling did not begin to wake up until his son died in World War I.
The USA continued its great task of conquest and genocide that characterized its theft of North America. Many genocidists of the Philippines:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#justify
were graduates of the Indian eradication programs, and eagerly found fertile new fields to practice their craft. The water torture that the USA is using today in its “war on terror” had roots in what the Americans did to the Filipino people.
By the early twentieth century, the USA stole the Panama Canal Zone:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#panama
to use as an imperial transportation lane, and by the early decades of the twentieth century, it invaded Latin America at will:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#butler
as it rose to true imperial status, taking its place at the table, even keeping the Chinese in line during the Boxer “Rebellion.”
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#neocolonialism
Terms like “rebellion” are Orwellisms before there was Orwell. Repelling invaders and conquerors is somehow a “rebellion” in the lexicon of the imperialist. Like the Nazis did with occupied Poland, the USA called the Iraqi resistance “terrorism” and “insurgency.” The American propaganda system had the gall to decry “foreign fighters” in Iraq, which, as Uncle Noam said, only makes sense if we assume that the USA owns the world:
http://chomsky.info/articles/20080101.htm
being that the most deadly and numerous foreign fighters in Iraq were the Americans.
In the early 1900s, the USA invented a tactic that is today called neocolonialism, whereby the subject nations get to fly their own flags, providing the illusion of independence to the gullible (mainly the American people), but I doubt that the subject peoples are very fooled.
What the USA has been doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, with little buddy Britain carrying our bags, is classic neocolonialism. It is all about the plunder, as usual. The Spanish sovereigns were warned by court scholars that just importing mountains of gold and silver from the conquered lands was not going to solve any of Spain’s problems, but they were not listened to, and not only did the Spanish crown begin going bankrupt, repeatedly, within a generation of the plunder operation really getting going:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#bankrupt
and by 1600, Spain was worse off than it had been in 1500:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#decline
scholars have openly called the Spanish experience in the New World an exercise in stupidity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#carl
and it is hard to argue against it. The big benefit was to the Europeans who got to have a depopulated hemisphere largely to themselves, as long as they took care of the pesky natives. The Western Hemisphere, including Australia and New Zealand, is highly under-populated compared to Eurasia’s periphery.
Time for work.

Thank you for this grand post, Wade. It is a very Instructional and explanatory reading which links and weaves the strands connecting all the actions done by man, mostly white man against indigenous fellow humans. No wonder that Sauer named it - the 'Human stupidity'. It is one hand destroying and one hand building. One person uses another person as an object, (some) human life apparently have no value when the pursuit of resources is concerned. Herds of Bisons and dancing indians were easy targets in some strategical agenda to conquer indian land and all those deeds were probably done under the illusion of some national justification, very much the same as other cases described by you so many times, for example Colombus, Junipero Serra and co. This is also the case in our modern days - same thing, to override and to conquer - the same habit, different faces. Nowdays they are called Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians. A little more developed agenda's, though.
Competition for resources seem to lead us down the lowest level of behaviour almost from the dawn of history, It will be such a welcome change to see the human spirit find it's peace when scarcity will be no more.. Hopefully right around the corner.
Cheers,
Limor

Hey,
A lot of the following echo’s what Wade has been saying about sentience on this thread, and here:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm
I’ve been on the road for the past seven months and will spend the next five months in India where cutlery, soap and toilet paper are still luxury items. I’m currently in the small remote town where Sai Baba was born.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya_Sai_Baba
Ox drawn carts are still seen trundling down the streets, and as CdnSirian said over on Ilie’s thread, locals still fight over cow pie. That's the realty of life in a country that contains the largest concentration of people living below the World Bank's international poverty line of US$1.25 per day.
Every country has its draw cards and India being the ‘Holy Land’ (home to Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism) attracts its fair share of Westerners on a spiritual quest. I’ve been in India a month now and have met plenty of them.
‘We can’t change the world but we can change ourselves’ is a statement I hear over and over again from the spiritual crowd, and I have a hard time with it because I know it’s only a half truth. They are quick to kindly inform me that the Earth, the Universe, and all of creation are perfect, supposed to be this way, so, there is no point in trying to change anyone or anything. I'm told to just let everything be, and to journey inwards. Stop focusing externally and focus within. I’m told that nothing is permanent and even if we were to change the world, what would be the point? A few billion years down the line and the planet will cease to exist anyway. The advice i'm given is to just focus on the space between two thoughts and simple ‘be’.
Occupying that ‘thought free’ mind space is all well and good but isn’t much use when it comes to healing planets. Meditating and clearing one’s mind of clutter and social programming is obviously important, particularly to those living in Western society, but for me it isn’t the sole purpose of our Earthly existence. You can’t reach your creator potential if all you are interested in doing with your life is being. I’m not so sure humanity is at the stage in its evolution where the small percentage of those who are spiritually awake and aware can shut themselves off from the rest of the world and just ‘be’ in some sheltered environment. The world is the way it is because we have collectively created it into being as a result of every one of our thoughts, words, and actions. We are all responsible for this reality which simply reflects humanities current level of sentience.
This co-created Earthly reality is just one of an infinite number of possible realities and is the way it is because of the collective level of human sentience. ‘God’ wasn’t having a bad day at the office, humanity are the ones that have been and continue to have a bad day. Passing the buck and laying the blame on the creator is a bit ridiculous when you understand that you are the creator. We are the ones with the free will. We created the injustice, exploitation, poverty, crime, wars etc. We allowed it all to manifest. There are no victims here. Any future hellish realities will be our own making, just as any future heavenly realities will be. Acknowledge the potential for future catastrophes by all means but don’t focus on them. Focus your imagination on the potential for abundance and heaven on Earth instead.
You are the creator in the game of free-will, where love and virtue are the energies of creation, and fear, hate and vice are the energies of destruction.
Or,
We are the co-creators in the game of free-will, where love and virtue are the energies of creation, and fear, hate and vice are the energies of destruction.
The vast majority of people on this planet are sound asleep. Most are voluntarily so although they are not helped by the fact that the game is so heavily rigged. Creators dominated by fear and living in scarcity can do little more than go with the flow. There is safety in numbers. Of the few creators that are awake on the planet, very few of them have their focus on free energy. Even in the ‘alternative community’, in places like this forum, precious few have grasped the full potential of free energy.
With the sentient use of FE technology, a more heaven on Earth type reality becomes not only possible, but probable, and not just some pie in the sky fantasy of a few deluded dreamers. If abundance and heaven on Earth are the common goals, the only practical way we get there is with FE and the requisite collective level of sentience. So, why not raise the bar a bit and in addition to changing ourselves and creating our own reality, why not help to co-create the reality of a healed planet using FE? Wouldn’t you rather live on a planet where abundance was the norm rather than scarcity, and not just living in abundance as part of an elite enclave? We are in a Universe, bathing in unlimited energy, and here we are on Earth playing an energy scarcity game?
What better way for the U.S. empire to pay off a chunk of its huge karmic debt than to develop FE technology for the masses and to oversee its implementation in the world’s poorest nations and on a global scale? Imagine the U.S military in Iraq and Afghanistan helping the locals to attain abundance with FE technology rather than slaughtering them for their energy resources. Why even bother trying to change a planet that won’t be around in the future? Why do anything? To experience joy. Collectively.
Where to begin? With oneself. You are the creator. Be the change you want to see in the world. The word love is a verb, you do it. Practice loving not only yourself but everyone and all of creation. Live in virtue rather than vice. Trade in the ego, judgment, bitterness, cynicism, fear, anger, hate, pessimism, greed, apathy etc for wonder, optimism, kindness, compassion, empathy, selflessness ect. We can gain a comprehensive perspective on how the world works by educating ourselves, by understanding how energy currently runs the show, and then we can begin to imagine the enormous positive potential of free energy technology if it's used sentiently.
Humanity has the very real potential of utilizing an unlimited energy source divine in nature, but first, enough of us need to wake up, realize our creator potential and understand what is at stake. We can take responsibility for the mess we have created on the planet and use our sentience to clean it up rather than continuing on with the ego games rooted in scarcity. This is humanities sentience test. We 'wake-up' and can use FE technology to heal the planet and create an abundant and heavenly reality for all. We do that and then there will be plenty of time to sit around and just ‘be’. For those who get bored with just ‘being’ here on Earth, they can go and explore the galaxy in their FE powered craft. Alternatively, we can continue on down our current path and completely miss the boat. We will destroy ourselves and in all probability the whole biosphere too. And for what? The gratification of our ego’s? Materialism? Humanity will never get to explore the galaxy using FE powered technology or even the outer reaches of our solar system unless true sentience is demonstrated on this planet first.
Here’s a couple of quotes from Sai Baba who like Jesus, Krishna and Buddha seemed to have the whole love thing down.
"As science develops and technology advances, humility and Love should also develop to the same extent."
“There is only one Caste, The Caste of Humanity.
There is only one Religion, Religion of Love.
There is only one Language, Language of the Heart.
There is only one God, He is Omnipresent.”

Hi David:
Beautiful words from India. When I see a post like that, I think that if Godzilla takes me out, it won’t matter, as I have planted enough seeds that some are sprouting. And if that becomes the case that enough sprout, Godzilla won’t see the point of taking me out. You are helping to protect me! :)
I have seen enough sources call Sai Baba a manifestation of the Transcendental Soul:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#transcendental
that I’ll buy that. I saw all manner of reaction to him for more than thirty years, from cultish devotion, to former cultists attacking him, to debunkers plying their craft, and so on. That whole ashram thing, with people fighting for a chance to be acknowledged or touched by him, was scarcity in action. Brian O went there several times:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#pics
but before one of the last times, Sai Baba’s bodyguards killed an assailant, and I think that Sai Baba was surrounded by bodyguards for all public appearances ever since. What a mess. When the Infinite Spirit comes, it won’t look anything like The Sai Baba Circus.
Yes, I have seen many “mystical” Westerners advocate just sitting around and meditating. One of the most perceptive responses to that statement I saw many years ago, when a man said something like:
“We Westerners have messed up the planet by our actions, and we are not all going to become a bunch of meditators and float off. We are going to clean up our mess by the same way that we made it: with technology, with our actions.”
I have gotten the same kinds of responses from mystical types, where it is all about meditating, which is just another variation of, “Don’t rock the boat!” I have stated that one of the many traps is to become so heavenly bound that one is no Earthly good. People can become meditation junkies. I have read where Jesus spent about five minutes a day in “prayer,” and that seems about right to me. As I wind down from my 12-14 hour days in a month, meditating will be part of my regimen to get that essay done, so it has its benefits, but it is not the be all, end all. If it was, India would be one hell of a place to live, instead of a hellish place to live.
Have fun on your journey,
Wade

Hi,
I got a bit triggered reading the slight criticism of meditation and "being".
I am pretty sure I use those words rather differently, because they don't mean the things David or Wade allude to.
To me, dancing out of passion is meditation. Designing technology because you love it (and not for the money or at gun point) is meditation. Deeply appreciating the smell of a flower is meditation. In other words, the meaning I have for meditation is not something static. It's not someone sitting on their butt with a blank expression on their face (although it includes that as well).
Frankly, to me it looks like the Western mind just took the most "obvious" and easy to do "aspect of meditation" and called it "meditation!". You just sit around and do nothing and so you are spiritual. That's a huge over simplification and missed the point of what meditation is.
Also, meditation, in its various forms, I see it as a tool. And so, it's never a goal in itself. I don't meditate so that I have more time to meditate. I meditate so that I become aware of my programming. So that I can then deprogram myself. And finally, I hear is possible to use meditation to understand you have nothing to fear. Each clearing process give you more freedom of choice to act from the heart (and not out of fear, or from a smart but deeply conditioned intellect). So meditation, in the sense I am describing here, is a wonderful, dynamic and trans-formative tool. The posts above describe the "quick version", the "condensed poorly understood version" of what I think meditation is. In fact, many people are deeply meditating and have no idea they are doing it.
Same goes for simply "be". When I look around, I totally understand why some "masters" insist on simply "being". That's because we... "are not". We, are suppressed. Our thoughts are not our own, our desires are manufactured, our minds are shaped into a specific form to fit a specific mold. Simply "be"ing is just another tool to become more aware, and in my opinion is never a waste of time. Be yourself, but as an infinite creator not as this poor little consumer! What a difference... Know yourself. Again a cliche, that for me gets more and more depth as I study myself. We have no idea what and who we are.
And as a final point: a bunch of people meditating (even in the simple sense of sitting on their butts), are a bunch of people not killing other people...
OK, I got this off my chest :)
Wade Frazier
2nd April 2013, 16:31
Hey Ilie:
Glad you got it off of your chest. :)
My most fulfilling “meditation” is hiking in nature (with my wife, ideally) and deep study. I have written it plenty, that working 12-14 hour days is unhealthy, but it is where I find myself. My fasting and other activities are largely field dressing after triage, so that I can get up the next day and do it again. That is very unhealthy, and it reflects the USA’s declining standard of living, which has been declining ever since energy-per-capita consumption peaked in 1973. They are directly related, although almost no American is aware of it.
When we can break the cycle of scarcity and addiction (a brief relief from fear and scarcity), people will have time to “meditate” however works best for them. And until then, we all have the challenge of carving out “sentience time” from the grim lives of scarcity that we lead on planet Earth. Even the world’s richest man is constantly looking over his shoulder.
Yes, Westerners don’t really understand, such as all of those “just meditate,” “you can only change your perspective” people that David has been encountering. I have been encountering them since 1974:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva
so, I am sorry if I seem to lose patience with those newbie perspectives that use “meditation” as a way to “manifest” a parking space, build New Age harems and the like:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#mystical
It is a cousin to those early-stage FE perspectives that I write about so often. Meditation has its place, in the many ways that people can meditate (go within), and you are oh so right that it can be a very active behavior, not just sitting. I recall Elisabeth Kübler-Ross saying that the standard way of meditating did not work for her, and her meditation was being with people who were dying.
These are big subjects, obviously, and deserve to be discussed further.
Best,
Wade
P.S. One of my favorite sayings on this subject is this one:

Ilie, brilliant
yes I was getting worried as I thought I was the only one who did not meditate, I could not even cross my legs in a seated position since Titanium knees do not bend, I do like having a long walk in the Scottish countries side, no matter the weather, that is we're I do my best thinking, I am a lucky man love and friendship seems to come easy to me, when the family is all together we often end up in tears as we have laughed so much its just great and when the kids leave with their partners I reflect on the energy we have together its amazing. I don't worry about anything now, what will be will be.
I really enjoy your post Ilie your a pretty deep and insightful person and you raise a lot of great points, I thank you again for this, I have not meditated since I did martial arts many years ago but I have used the breathing and the state of mind to get me to sleep for the last 30 years, no matter what, I put me head on the pillow, and away I go , this drive the wife mad by the way.
I thank you again kindest regards

Hi:
It is time again to express the intention behind what I am doing and plan to do. It is very specific. It is specific not because I am dogmatic, but because I have seen what might work and what definitely does not. I will be aiming away from the rabbit holes that I see so many fringe enthusiasts disappear down. Most fringe stuff is a distraction and waste of time, and that includes fringe science, conspiracism, a lot of so-called mysticism, alternative economics, politics, insider “revelations” and the like. It can become a waste of time when it is enacted under the tent pole of scarcity, and the people in the field use it to get fed. It is a corollary to the idea of personal integrity being the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
Most mainstream dogma is bogus, but that does not make the fringe stuff valid:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm
The fringes are a minefield that can suck in the unwary, the naïve, the non-discerning, and those who don’t see the big picture and are not trying to. I see my work compared to all manner of fringe theorist and activist, but the resemblance is usually superficial at most. What I am attempting has not been done before, and is a horse of a different color.
In my narrative of the human journey and the rise of Europe, you don’t see any discussion of money, other than the stupid European obsession with gold and silver in its mercantile phase. Money is only accounting, and is not real. When most people think of economics, they think of money, but the financial economy is not real. Also, you don’t find me invoking much in the way of fringe science in the narrative begun last July:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=516792&viewfull=1#post516792
because not much of it is relevant to understanding the evolution of life on Earth and the rise of humans. You don’t need fringe science to understand the role of energy in our world, going all the way back to the beginning. Fringe science can come in handy for discovering that there are effective, cheap, and harmless alternatives to the cut-poison-burn methods of today’s cancer racket:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket
or realizing that the so-called energy crises coming soon are entirely manufactured events, as FE technology has been around for the better part of a century. But straight old orthodox science does just fine for understanding the energy practices of early civilization, and understanding that they not only were not sustainable:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554340&highlight=eridu#post554340 )
but the energy surplus that they extracted from the environment was tiny compared to the industrialized world:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
and that made them all vulnerable to the vagaries of the weather, and all civilizations before the industrialized era were subject to periodic famine, due to energy scarcity.
Understanding the perils of our current energy practices does not need a fringe science background. The USA’s repeated invasions of Hydrocarbon Country in the last generation have everything to do with energy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
and only those in intentional ignorance can deny it, but that kind of denial is a specialty among imperial peoples, and I see it every day in my great nation, as it still dominates the world.
Even on FE, I do not approach it so much as a fringe theorist, but as an energy activist who found out the hard way how the world really works. Some like me have been to see the wizard:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
and I have known and known of numerous fellow travelers, and our stories are heartbreakingly similar:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky
Godzilla is real, as is his Golden Hoard, but we are not going to get any while we are fast asleep as a species. While the ET issue is very real, its primary relevance to today’s world and why it is covered up as ruthlessly as it is:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
is because it is joined at the hip with FE and antigravity, not because TPTB are concerned about the public having a War of the Worlds reaction to the idea that we are not alone in the universe. They only fear losing their power. With FE, nobody will be subject to scarcity and economic hierarchies again, and then it will be game over for Earth’s ruling classes, only a tiny fraction of which play at Godzilla’s level. The rest are the retail elites that have been with us since the dawn of civilization, playing their egocentric games. All elites, not just Godzilla, want the game to continue, and so far, the masses have played right along, rarely missing a step in that grim tango. I am trying to end it, but what I am doing is radically different than what I see out there in the world and on the Internet. This is not the conspiracist flavor of the day, the New Age flavor of the day, the latest fringe science “theory,” or “revelations” from alleged insiders.
As I keep saying, Ilie is the gold standard of what I am looking for. Not only is his heart in the right place, he is highly intelligent, with a flexible and discerning mind, he does his homework, and he knows how to sing. Ilie is still young, but we all start out young. :) I point him out not to stroke his ego, but to show people what I am looking for. If I only found a thousand like Ilie, we would be well on our way to making a dent, and if I found several thousand even remotely close to Ilie, making FE happen would be easy.
I see too many Young Warrior approaches in this realm, and that approach is worse than worthless, and is one of the many ways that people exposed to this stuff miss the mark:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors
There are a thousand weak links for every strong one, and I am looking for lambs, not lions. I have seen many “tough guys” come and go. They usually crumble in seconds on the high road. The lambs, however, have persevered.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

There's meditation, and then there's meditation. It can be a simple stilling of thoughts that assists with relaxation and clarity, or it can also entail allowing one's awareness (not the same thing as mental focus) to return to the creative matrix itself, bringing "Light" (Free Energy if you will) back to one's physical space, a process that can have a magnetic affect on others nearby, speeding up their own awakening.

I'm trying to make this point more often now with others I know who are "relatively" awake. Even if flaws can be observed in the mainstream paradigms, it's all too easy for those who are drawn to the alternative to then become attached to the views espoused by Alex Jones or various libertarian outlets like Lewrockwell or the Mises Institute.

Hi Enishi:
Yes, there are different levels of the meditation/prayer game. Even Level 19 is attainable (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level19 ).
On the alternative rabbit holes, I have been down plenty of them over the years. Some I took seriously for a while, others I studied so I could understand where they were coming from. In virtually all alternatives, there is a mountain of chaff for every kernel of wheat. There are several reasons for this, and I write about some of them:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#alternatives
Orthodoxy at least has the virtue of being the tried and true. On the scientific end of things, reproducible experiments and peer review can help keep out invalid stuff. But we all know how that can become corrupt, dogmatized, and can send the entire herd stampeding over the cliff:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#conflict
Basically, in order to successfully navigate the alternatives takes a great deal of time, effort, intelligence, discernment, persistence, worldliness, and the willingness to go chasing after the truth, wherever it is, and realize that nobody has a monopoly on it. The right-wing libertarians and the Austrian School are not totally wrong, nor are far-left Marxist types. They all see parts of the whole and the downsides of orthodoxy. Even Alex Jones is not all wet, but it helps to know his ideological commitments. What keeps people stuck in their particular layer of the FE Onion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart
is their ideological commitment, whether it is capitalism, nationalism, organized religion, scientism, and so on. Almost nobody is willing to give up their ideological teddy bears in a pursuit of the truth, and for those that do, they rarely stray far before they find a new teddy bear and their quest ends, and the margins are filled with vendors of new teddy bears and magic answers. Pretty much without exception, it is a scarcity-based teddy bear, designed to comfort the seeker, and that ends their seeking, as they have a new teddy bear to cling to. The conspiracist teddy bear can be seductive, as is the libertarian teddy bear, as is a great deal of “fringe” science. As I keep stating, developing a comprehensive perspective is not easy, and there will rarely be any support coming from those around you. People in the herd do not like to see people straying from it. It makes them nervous, as fear is what keeps them in the herd.
I just finished studying a whole bunch of global economics, and is it ever the scarcity game, the scarcity game. The more I study global history and the human journey, the more this succinct statement envelops all of it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#succinct
It has always been an energy game, first and foremost, but it is easy to get lost in the weeds, particularly for the scientifically illiterate. As Western Europe engaged in record-breaking deforestation during the Medieval Warming Period, it learned the great energy boost that watermills provided, and they learned how to use the greatest organic engine of all time, the horse, to wrench more energy out of the land with heavy plow agriculture.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=607647&highlight=collar#post607647
When Europeans gained the technical ability to ride the winds and currents of the oceans, they quickly conquered the world using the greatest energy technology yet developed:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=596748&viewfull=1#post596748
and along with enslaving humanity, they quickly drove the densest energy resource of the oceans, whales, to the brink of extinction:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling
Tapping the power of coal, when the trees ran out, was the primary reason for England’s rise to global dominance, but it was just a quantum leap on an energy curve that it was already on. Science and technology rose along with it, but it was always energy that ran the show and was the primary predilection of the Europeans, although it all happened before the science of energy began to develop well into the 1800s. The science of energy really did not come into its own until that last half of the 1800s, and the Brits who did a lot of the early work have all manner of energy phenomena named after them, which is a scientist’s route to immortality.
The temperature scales are named after northern Europeans: Rankine, Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit, with the relative scales coming in the early 1700s, and the absolute scales coming in the mid-1800s. Terms such as watt, coulomb, faraday, newton, maxwell, and so on, are named after the early empiricists and scientists, and they are all energy-related terms. People such as Einstein and Lawrence had elements named after them, and even America has an element named after it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americium
Since the very term America comes from an Italian mapmaker:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_vespucci
the white man’s ego is written large across the physical world. Where I live, some Indian names survive, but more are named after white “explorers,” such as Cortes Island:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortes_Island
the Straight of Juan de Fuca:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Juan_de_Fuca
Vancouver Island:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Island
Mount Rainier:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier
and, of course, the biggest and best are named after our “fathers,” with my home state named Washington:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint
and the biggest river on the West Coast named after good ol’ Chris C.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_River
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#why
Naming the natural world after themselves has been a white man’s fetish for quite some time. That megalomania was also evident in how Europe put every conquered people under the yoke, and where they did not just exterminate the inhabitants and take the land, the surviving peoples were enslaved to a euro-centric system of exploitation, and those dynamics have directly led to the mess that we have today, especially in the colonial world, and I will get to that soon, but now it is off to work.

The point I was making regarding the awake and aware, and meditation, was that the planet might be better served if they spent more time understanding how energy runs the show, and the potential that FE has to help us manifest a more heavenly reality into being, rather than spending hours on end themselves simply ‘being’. I've nothing against those who want to just 'be', but before too long there may not be a planet left to just ‘be’ on.
Like Ilie, I have a few different interpretations of what meditation means. Focusing my consciousness on the space between two thoughts is one of them. Another is to imagine or clearly visualize future static or moving images in my mind’s eye, and to focus my awareness and consciousness on them as clearly as I can. I used the meditation and simply ‘being’ example above because it’s the one I have experience of hearing spiritual folk talk about most frequently. The main point I was making, which Wade picked up on, is that I don’t buy for a second the belief/notion that ‘We can’t change the world’. An individual meditating on a healed planet is important but won’t cut it on it’s own. It will take many thousands of people to also clearly imagine that kind of reality, alongside harmonic words and actions before it can manifest into focus. In many ways, our current reality along with our semi sentience is really a reflection of the limits of our collective imaginations due to a basic lack of collective knowledge and understanding. Scarcity is all that the majority can currently imagine on this planet, so that’s what we get. The crowning glory of the Global Elite's is that they have succeeded in making abundance unimaginable to the masses.
On Sai Baba and his ashram....
I read about him first on Wade’s website, and about a month ago I met a guy that hung out with him privately by "chance" on two separate occasions. I was amused by what he had to say about the experiences and having never been to an ashram before I decided that i'd go and check it out.
I stayed one night in a dormitory and was blown away by how many guys there were that had shrines devoted to Sai Baba at the end of their bunk-beds, with multiple framed pictures and statuettes of the man. All around the ashram there are huge blown up framed photos of him including one in the canteen with flashing neon lights around it, and a stream of people bowing and praying to the pictures. I experienced precious little evidence that anyone was interested in Sai Baba’s messages of universal oneness and what have you, but plenty of evidence that the show was was all about worshiping the man himself.

David! A post like you just made is the point of my work. It is certainly not being disruptive. There is a big difference between being disruptive and bringing your awareness to the table and adding your two bits. Heck, you went to India, partly to check something out. That is anything but sitting in your easy chair, waiting for something to happen. If a tiny fraction of humanity had that kind of gumption, we would already be over the hump.
When you have a moment, reflect on those posts that you made. Could you have made them three years ago? When I see posts like yours, I get “mission accomplished” feelings. When people like you and Ilie make your posts and mix it up with me, that is good stuff. You guys are getting it. The “nice” thing about life on Earth is that the learning never ends. I had mentors and outgrew them, and one day, you and Ilie will sing better than I will ever be able to. The more that I can help along the learning curve that you and Ilie are on, the better chance we have of turning the corner.
Again, singing is not the only thing that is going to make FE happen, but it will help, and an abundance chorus, one that comes from the comprehensive, practical side of the house, has never been heard before. And yes, Godzilla is listening, and we will see how he responds, and whether he does. When he stepped on me, he had trouble wiping me off of the bottom of his foot, and I am still kind of stuck there. He might see this as a threat, and I have been giving pointers on this thread on how his emissaries ply their trade:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=637108&viewfull=1#post637108
and how even people in the FE field do Godzilla’s work for him:

This is dangerous territory, even when it seems like harmless posting on the Internet. I plan to take advantage of the Internet in a way that nobody has done before, and I am doing what I can so that it can have an impact, but can also present the minimum risk to the participants. You see all manner of posts here that are not in alignment with what I am trying, but your posts are anything but that.
OK, a little on Europe. Economics is the study of humanity’s material wellbeing. It is not the be-all, end-all, but in a world of scarcity, economics is of primary importance, because when people are mired in scarcity, they can’t raise their eyes from the muck, as they battle for survival. And as I have written plenty and David just did, making a world of abundance unimaginable is Godzilla’s greatest triumph, and today’s economists all sing Godzilla’s tune, to one degree or another.
Humanity’s material wellbeing is based on three things, as I wrote recently:
1. Energy
2. Manipulative ability (our hands)
3. Intelligence (our brains)
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post651623
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=655010&viewfull=1#post655010
and the human journey has always been based on how we got our energy and how much we got:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#succinct
Up until the rise of Europe, nearly all of the energy used by humanity was seized from life forms. As Europe began to harness wind and water power at levels never before seen, it initiated its rise, and when England began to exploit the energy of coal, the Industrial Revolution was off and running. It had a 50-80 year head start on its rivals, and they all used their energy practices to conquer the world. However, for all of the great evil that Europe inflicted on the world, including offspring such as the USA, several salutary trends also began with the rise of industrialization:
1. Women began to be liberated;
2. Slavery no longer made economic sense;
3. The peasant’s road to wealth – large families – stopped making sense, and family sizes gradually declined in what is today called the demographic transition ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic-economic_paradox )
There were obviously many downsides to industrialization, and I have mentioned many of them, and may provide a list of them one day, but if you study the downsides, they were all distortions based on scarcity, energy scarcity in particular. For all the great evil that the USA has inflicted on the world, and anybody reading my work knows that I am anything but an apologist for the USA, the USA’s high standard of living, totally reliant on our level of energy use, has been a goal of most of the world’s people, and it is easy to see why. We live in relative abundance, and many of the social changes that have come with it have been salutary. I can stand in line behind the world’s richest man, and nobody even recognizes him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates
Google’s founders wear jeans and T-shirts, and Steve Jobs was a jeans guy, and I don’t know if Zuckerberg has been “typecast” like Alan Hale was (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Hale,_Jr ), wearing his skipper hat and shirt to his grave, but it will be interesting to see when/if he gives up his hoodie. This is radically different than any previous manifestation of great wealth, and it has to do with the post-war prosperity that the USA had. I was raised in that era, and I understand why Gates, Jobs, etc., did not feel the need to show off their wealth and “importance.” Are any of them big-time visionaries? No, but the mega-rich businessmen never have been, nor have figureheads like U.S. presidents. They are too committed to their “jobs,” and Godzilla makes sure that none of them get to peek behind the wizard’s curtain, and probably few of them even suspect that there is a man behind that curtain.
But in a world of scarcity, what Europe did when it conquered the world was deindustrialize those it conquered. It did it so that it could turn the conquered peoples into a source of cheap labor that could produce gold, silver, sugar, and other luxury commodities that could be shipped to Europe. When Europe began to sail the high seas, their standard of living was not markedly different than anyplace else on Earth, and when they begin to invade North America, for instance, many invaders preferred the native lifestyle over the European one and “went native:”
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jamestown
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#morton
But once they conquered the unsuspecting natives, the Europeans then set themselves up as overlords, and the descent into slavery, in one way or another, began, and stayed that way until the Europeans finally left, which did not happen for a place like India until after World War II:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal
where the per-capita income of an Indian stayed the same during the entire two centuries of British rule. The disaster that India is today, which David is getting a snootful of as I write this, is a direct result of British rule. And the Europeans never quite left, either. India has been denied the oil resources of the nearby Middle East, for instance, to industrialize. In classic neo-colonial fashion, the USA has effectively deindustrialized Iraq, in genocidal fashion, as we steal their oil:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
in what will one day rank with Hitler’s crimes.
In Marxian parlance, when people use energy, along with manipulative ability and social organization to build lasting buildings, urban and national infrastructure, and the equipment to make, maintain, and use them, that is called “capital.” It is not the “capital” of capitalists, as capitalist capital is the ownership of “natural” capital. Capital is what raises a people’s standard of living, and it all depends on energy. It can be argued that the deindustrialization of the world (for instance, India was ahead of Britain in ways for making steel, before the English conquered them) was an unintended byproduct of colonialism, but that is kind of hair-splitting. The conquered peoples were enslaved to serve Europe, and nobody could think that slavery was going to help them, although imperial apologists like Kipling could delude themselves that that was so:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kipling
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=656277&viewfull=1#post656277
but the royal, imperial, and capitalist class has always had people eager to sell their souls to get a little of the gravy, the equivalent of Court historians ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_court ). So it is, in a world of scarcity.
When the biggest cities in Latin America were mining towns:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=656277&viewfull=1#post656277
that reflected the incredible distortion on the native economies. The few survivors of the European conquest and “settlement” were reduced to slavery, although by mincing words, it gets called something other than slavery, but those people were certainly not free to pursue their lives. I am sometimes brought to tears when I think about what was lost in Europe’s conquest of the world, especially the nearly complete depopulation of the Western Hemisphere. When the marauding Spanish mercenaries finally saw the lakes in the Valley of Mexico and a shimmering city sitting in the middle of it, they thought that they were dreaming, and Tenochtitlan was more spectacular than any city that any European ever saw. Within a couple of years, the city was completely destroyed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#aztec
The mercenaries were similarly impressed with Cuzco, the Incan capital city, and they wasted no time in sacking it, and enslaving every able body into mining and plantation operations:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#inca
Everywhere that the Europeans arrived, it was the same pattern of conquest and enslavement, and if the Europeans merely wanted the land, then it was extermination (while raping the women along the way was always a good way to spend time). Economically, it was always a catastrophe for the natives, as they lost control of their destiny. The karma of Europe and its offspring like the USA is dark and heavy, but if we can make FE happen, we can go a long way toward healing that damage. To me, that will be one of the primary upshots of FE, if we can make it. When I see Ilie and David (and the other regular contributors to these “Wade” threads) singing, I think we might have a chance to make my crazy choir idea a reality, and then we will see where it goes.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have sketched Portugal’s violent establishment of its spice route. It took more than fifty years for Portugal to get past the end of Africa:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#portugal
and when it did, it soon conquered Goa and Malacca:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621451&highlight=portugal#post621451
and they slaughtered the Muslims and Arabs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_of_Malacca_(1511)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Goa#Portuguese_conquest_and_colonisation
who were their chief competitors in the spice trade. Portugal also “discovered” and “settled” islands in the East Atlantic:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#azores
and began turning them into deserts.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#desertify
In a prelude of what would happen to the natives of the Caribbean, the Spanish “discovered” the Canary Islands, and conquered the inhabitants and committed the first genocide of the era of European “discovery,” which was the first of many:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#guanches
Portugal began the African slave trade at the same time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#spice
and a three-continent catastrophe was soon underway. The trans-Atlantic slave trade consumed perhaps twenty million lives:
http://necrometrics.com/pre1700b.htm#African
and the lucky survivors lived short lives of slavery. The sugar plantations were 24/7 operations, and the term “seven-year slave” came from that era, as that was about how long a human would last under those conditions. The tobacco operations of North America were more seasonal and not 24/7 while in operation, and the American south was the only place where slaves lived long enough to be bred, which is primarily why the USA eventually joined the ban in trading slaves, because they could breed their own slaves.
After slavery was finally abolished, Europe inflicted an even greater genocide on Africa during its rubber boom at the beginning of the twentieth century, in one of history’s most neglected genocides:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#congo
led by Belgium, as it took a place at the imperial table.
But I get ahead of myself. After the Portuguese established their “trade” route, Spain tried to take it away. Columbus was just the first of several who tried to find a “back door” to the spice trade, and after Magellan’s voyage was “successful,” several more Spanish voyages were launched, but all were miserable failures:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#_edn14
This was all happening as Spain was going bankrupt:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#bankrupt
and wars began raging in Europe, which were generally a battle of power between the Catholic Church and the Northern European polities. The Dutch battled the Spanish overlords for generations, and their conflict became part of Europe’s bloodiest era to that time, culminating in the Thirty Years’ War:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#thirty
and Europe further refined the idea of total war. In the waning years of the Thirty Years’ War, the English began their own series of civil wars:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War
which was really only the last of its civil wars, with the previous centuries seeing a civil war that lasted thirty years:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses
which came after a hundred years of warfare with France:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years%27_War
If you count them up, England/Britain participated in nearly sixty wars between 1500 and 1800:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_1500%E2%80%931799
Again, that “practice” that Europeans got in fighting each other, and the refinement of battle technologies and tactics, made them an irresistible force as they began to sail the high seas.
The Puritan Revolution ultimately failed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War#Episcopacy_during_the_English_Civil_War
and there have been scholarly battles for centuries on what it all meant:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War#Historiography_and_explanations_of_the_English_Civil_War
although the religious fanatics of England found fertile ground to “settle” in the New World, and they wasted no time in slaughtering and dispossessing the natives, and the real Thanksgiving celebrations of early colonial America were the celebrations when the natives were slaughtered:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#underhill
While the symbol of the man who most appreciated the native way of life in New England was the maypole:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#morton
the symbol of the Puritan invaders was the whipping post. That Puritanical heritage can be seen in the USA today. As I wrote recently, the modern environmental movement has its roots in Calvinist Christianity:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646730&highlight=calvinist#post646730
and I saw faux environmentalism in Boston:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#coalition
as we began our free energy adventures.
Before England industrialized, it first used up all the wood that was available, and its invasions of Ireland were primarily about seizing Ireland’s remaining forests to build its fleets, as England, Scotland and Wales had been deforested by then, particularly of the tall trees needed to make masts, which was the prime mover in history’s greatest energy technology to that time:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=650866&viewfull=1#post650866
and the invasion of New England was partly to seize mast wood, which played a significant part in the American Revolution:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_White_Pine#Masts
I have written before about my heritage, and the Scots-Irish part of it. The Scots along Hadrian’s Wall became known as Borderer Scots, and their lands were continually the site of battles as the English conquered Scotland. They became the cannon fodder in conquering Ireland, with the beachhead established at the Ulster Plantation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantation_of_Ulster
The same class of people became the cannon fodder for the invasion of North America, brought in as buffer peoples by the English. The English got all the fertile valley land, and the Scots-Irish got the crappy hilly land, and that is where hillbillies came from, and my ancestors. That hillbilly stock is still the USA’s preferred cannon fodder in its imperial wars. I nearly went to the Air Force academy, largely due to those redneck notions:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business
That hillbilly, redneck heritage can still be seen in my family, and I was raised part redneck myself, but after I left home, I put it behind me pretty quickly. I have a close relative who is mentally disabled, and he kind of hero-worshipped hillbillies, even affecting their speech patterns, and moved near Appalachia and married into a hillbilly family. After a few years of that experience, the bloom came off the rose for him, and he later lamented that they lived like “animals.”
Joe Bageant wrote very capably about the hillbilly, redneck culture of the USA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bageant
and how its roots go back to those borderer Scots. My family name is Scottish with a French spelling (that is a long story of how the Reformation made for a lot of migration, if you worshipped with the "wrong" brand of Christianity):
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#_edn145
but my paternal grandmother’s side is where the hillbilly heritage comes from, as well as where most of my American Indian blood comes from, which my grandparents would not admit, as the Indians were subhumans, after all, in the culture they were raised in. I actually have enough native blood that I could have qualified for federal aid, but the last thing that my grandparents would admit to was Indian blood in the family. I consider myself white, with some Indian genes thrown in.
While the Portuguese and Spanish led the pack with their pursuit of slaves, gold, and spices, the English and Dutch were not far behind, and by the early 1600s had supplanted their rivals. During the 1600s, the spice route was the site of continual battles among the imperial aspirants, with France also joining the game, although France was always kind of an underachiever, never reaching the top spot that the others reached, at one time or another. The east coast of the Western hemisphere became a battleground between the imperial rivals, and it can really make a reader dizzy to study all the machinations, wars, alliances, and the like:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jockeying
What was universally true was that the big losers were the rest of Earth’s peoples, as the imperial rivals battled for dominance. By the 1700s, the wars began to take on a truly multi-continental flavor, and George Washington actually ignited what could be called the first World War, with his attempted land grab in the Ohio River Valley:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#pontiac
The French were on the losing end of that first World War:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#seven
and the American Revolution was supported by France not because they were great believers in freedom, but it was great vengeance to wreak on Britain, losing its most successful colonies right at the height of its imperial glory. The American Revolution would likely not have succeeded without French help. Helping along the American Revolution had unintended consequences, as usual, in that it helped inspire the French Revolution a few years later. That also inspired the only successful slave rebellion in history, the Haitian Revolution:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#haiti
which scared the hell out of the USA’s Founding Fathers, about half of whom were slave owners, especially all of those slave-owning presidents, from Washington and Jefferson onward. In that hallowed document, the Declaration of Independence, its first draft decried the evils of Britain’s slave trade, but as about half of the signers of that document were slave owners, that section was removed, but what all the Founding Fathers were united on was the “merciless Indian Savages” that they were exterminating:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#declaration
By the early 1800s, Europe had largely abolished slavery, and the USA became increasingly seen as anachronistic and barbaric, with a string of slave-owning presidents parading through the White House, clear up until 1860:
http://home.nas.com/lopresti/ps.htm
and even the presidents after Lincoln were former slave owners. The USA did not recognize Haitian independence until 1862, for obvious reasons. But the situation of an industrialized North and a slave-owning South is perhaps the best example that I know of for how industrialization meant the end of slavery. Slavery did not make economic sense in the industrialized world, and slavery was an economic institution above all else:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery#Economics
The skillsets required in an industrialized economy could not be taught to slaves, because with higher skillsets came literacy and the yearning for freedom. When literacy was finally taught to American slaves, it was confined to the Bible, which approved of slavery, and that uniquely black Christianity in the USA has its roots in that aspect of the slavery era.
But what I think is very interesting is how the North and South developed their economies, and how it led to the crisis of empire that resulted in the USA’s Civil War, which was not about freeing the slaves, contrary to popular myth. It was about keeping the nascent empire held together. They wanted to avoid the fate of Britain, with its empire getting fragmented by revolting elites. The South was forcibly brought back into the fold in what is still the USA’s most devastating war, at least to itself, with scars that are still evident 150 years later. I will get to the development of the USA’s economy soon, but I will not totally neglect Europe, either, particularly Britain, which led the world in industrialization and imperial prowess until the late 1800s, when the USA began to overtake it during its Gilded Age.
I will cover those days in a fair amount of detail, but for now it is chore time.

Hi Wade,
Just a thought. What would happen if the Gonzilla of the world, decided to use new technogy, ie. free energy, instead of fossil fuels, hydroelectric power plants, nuclear plants, wind mills, and solar cells?
Compromise, where they could still meter us, yet go from $200 a month down to $50.
I pretty much know what you are going to say. Gonzilla is still going to charge us maybe $185 a month and keep the rest of the profit for themselves.
Just a thought. At least you have me thinking!
Best regards!

Hi Wade,
I hear you. In the US we are all part of a melting pot. You know our ancestory is quite similar. I am Scott, Irish, English, French, German, and yes a little bit of Native American.
And yes I am a hillbilly, even though I prefer mountaineer, as I was raised on the side of a mountain. lol!
I was fortunate to grow up in a small coal mining community, similar to Mayberry, N.C.
US Steel (yes Andrew Carnegie) owned the coal mines.
But they built the best schools, hospitals, store, and hotel in the state. We had a country club!
I know this an exception to the rule. I left when I was 20 after 2 years at the community college to go to the University, and never looked back!
But my 4 brothers and one sister and all their chidren and mine are not included among the rednecks. Education is the key! We are all very separated now, geographically
, but very close ie. phone, email, etc.

Hi Ol’ Roy:
The game that Godzilla is playing is one of power, not profits. Wealth is only a means to power, and Godzilla maintains his power by making sure that everybody plays The Scarcity Game. As long as people are pitted against each other, scrapping for their slice of the pie, Godzilla has the game well in hand. Nothing is more dangerous to Godzilla’s position than FE or, as you describe it, abundant energy that is not quite free. From Godzilla’s perspective, FE is truly playing with dynamite, because if FE got loose, there is no way that Godzilla will be able to keep it a monopoly for long. As far as high-tech operations go, FE is not technically that difficult. If you can make an Intel chip, you can probably make a viable FE device if you have the instructions on how to make one. There is no technical effort on Earth of that sophistication that Godzilla could not shut down very easily. It requires too much sophisticated equipment and highly-technically personnel, which is anything but cheap, for any effort like that to run under the radar. Godzilla can also apparently tell when anybody on Earth taps the ZPF anyway, so there is no way to sneak past him, although plenty of FE newbies think that they can, in their naïveté.
Once the FE genie gets out of the bottle, there is no way to put it back in, so Godzilla makes sure that the lid is on tightly. There have been enough “close calls” that Godzilla has adopted the policy of zero-tolerance, and his bag of tricks for keeping the genie in the bottle is impressive indeed. Tinkering inventors and scientists do not have a prayer.
Godzilla knows full well that to let loose that technology, even under some kind of capitalist scenario that he can monopolize, is the beginning of the end of his reign on Earth. Of course, he is also playing chicken with Earth, threatening to wipe out not only humanity, but taking Earth’s ecosystems with us. That is why Godzilla has a truly insane contingency plan to terraform Mars if it all goes south here. Not everybody in Godzilla’s ranks is so insane, and sanity may prevail, but I call the so-called White Hats “so-called” because I am far from convinced that they are a bunch of good guys, but they are just sane and see the insanity of Godzilla’s power trip for what it is. The so-called White Hats gave my friend a peek at what is in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
and it was because they saw my friend as a contender for being the figurehead that they can bring FE out under, if the time was right. That show was given many years ago, and I do not know the state of the “battle” today, although Greer has said that it is a 70/30 split in favor of FE coming out, the last I heard:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal
But they all know full well that anything like bringing it out in “controlled” fashion will not last long, and it would not be long before it was democratized. One of the things that I am doing is helping make FE and what can come with it imaginable. I definitely have a head start on most of humanity, but it would not take long seeing FE devices in action for people to begin to think along these lines:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
and the scarcity game will come to an end, even if we have to pay something to the utility. I really don’t see it going that way, because it is trying to fit the new wine into old skins, and anybody who has been familiar with the FE situation and its potential for long knows that its appearance will dwarf everything else in human history. It is that epochal and more so, and Godzilla knows it well. Antigravity will come right behind FE, too. So-called electrogravity needs a lot of energy to run it, and FE and antigravity are joined at the hip in more than one way.
Time for more chores.

Hi Wade and All...been busy here in Peru but got a chance to pull a chair up...wonderful sharing of your hard work, Wade, Thank You again )
With the surnames of Biron and Pelletier and Coogan and McCarthy I'm right in the middle of the mix of your current posts, haha.
And you know a bit of my Native American 'connections' that have had a major influence on my journey ever so strongly, re-initiated in 2007 on that Nipmuc Hill in MA.
We shall overcome...there are enough Good Earnest Souls taking 'selfless action' now, I am meeting more of them every new day on my travels : )

Look at all of these globetrotters checking in! :)
Yes, Ol’ Roy, you escaped, as did millions of people during the postwar boom, which was the biggest economic bubble of all time. Energy towns like what you grew up in helped, if you weren’t one of the poor bastards that had his life shortened by the mine work.
Dennis escaped:

My father’s family escaped:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas
and I know many former hillbillies/rednecks who were able to get educated and escape, even if they still have an accent. :) Joe Bageant was another:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bageant
The biggest economic bubble of all time provided the opportunity, and it was all energy-driven. Education alone would not have done it. My father knew scientists from Korea from long ago, but who got their education in the USA, and when they went back home they fed the chickens like everybody else (it was before Korea industrialized). Education without a way to use it is one of the “imbalances” of the current era, where if somebody gets educated they have to leave home, and for the poor nations, that means leaving their mother country. My neighborhood is full of Microsofties, and few are Americans, but come from the world’s poor nations such as India, China, etc.
Safe travels, eaglespirit. Going to The Ranch this summer might have been on my agenda, but it looks like it won’t be, but we will see.
Back to chores,

Hi:
I want to point out some dynamics in this narrative that may not be obvious to some, and it has to do with those energy feedback effects that I have mentioned. An energy feedback effect grew our brains:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=534910&viewfull=1#post534910
but the one that led to Old World civilizations was the burning of wood to smelt metal, which in turn made metal axes to fell trees easier, which exposed the soils so that sunlight did not feed trees, but crops, which led to making plows from metal, which led to attaching animals to plows:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=543474&highlight=feedback#post543474
That cycle of positive feedbacks led to the appearance of the civilization in the Fertile Crescent that eventually spread to the entire world, often violently.
The rise of England was a combination of harnessing water and wind power, along with getting more work out of horses with the horse collar:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=collar#post624099
and when the trees were used up, even the trees of its neighbors, England learned to use coal to run engines that removed the water from its coal mines, allowing more coal to be mined, while at the same time baking the impurities out of coal, to use it in smelting, which allowed for more metal to be smelt, which led to making iron-intensive railroads, which allowed freight to be moved overland with less energy being expended, which led to cities not needing to be established on waterways, which Watt’s steam engine further reinforced, and those dynamics allowed for the English to rapidly dispossess the natives of North America and erect an English-style industrial civilization on the graves of the dispossessed. Those were all positive feedback energy events that rolled onward to create the juggernaut known today as the USA, as it does its best to subjugate the entire planet, and woe be to any nation of non-white people who are sitting on our oil.
Here is some more on the Western energy follies, which are increasingly in the news.

Hi:
At this stage of the narrative of the rise of Europe, I probably should just refer to my essays, as I have already covered that territory pretty thoroughly, but I will make some references and discuss controversies in this area that I have been following for a long time.
Columbus stumbled into the New World in 1492. He was more of a medieval Crusader than a Renaissance man. His log, where he tells the Spanish sovereigns that he hopes to find enough gold to finance another Crusade into the Holy Lands:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#crusade
his notion that gold was literally the ticket to heaven:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#ticket
his Biblical and apocalyptic Book of Prophecies and his unfounded reporting of Cyclops and man-eating people:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#cannibal
put to rest the hagiography that have him being some kind of man of science, including setting out to prove that the world was round:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#irving
He was a great dead reckoning sailor, but not so great of a mariner:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#mariner
In the final analysis, he was only the first representative of his culture, and as his successors so aptly demonstrated, the invading Spaniards were basically a bunch of mass-murdering thieves, almost wholly without any virtue whatsoever. The Spaniards get the “honor” of being responsible for history’s greatest demographic catastrophe, but that was just because they were the first on the scene. Their successors, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the English, and the French were also mass-murdering thieves, but they did not have the opportunities of conquering and enslaving huge sedentary populations like the Spaniards did. The civilizations of Mesoamerica and the Andes were completely destroyed by the Spanish, and the survivors were virtually all enslaved into mining and plantation operations. Hernando de Soto had the dubious distinction of being at the vanguard of raping Central America, South America, and North America:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=582331&viewfull=1#post582331
As a butcher and destroyer, he is in rarified company with the likes of Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Roman emperors, and American presidents. The arrival of the Spanish was universally disastrous for the natives, even the “winners” such as the Tlaxcalans. Smallpox devastated the natives of Mesoamerica, and helped out the Aztec conquest:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#question
Any thorough perusal of the first century of the Western Hemisphere’s invasion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first
leaves the reader with a sense of horror, not glory, but we still celebrate Columbus Day in the USA:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#why
I have people in my life who beat their chests about the glory of Spain in that first century of “discovery,” and how they got a jump on the English in the imperial sweepstakes. The innumerable atrocities committed by the Spanish invaders were eventually reported back to the Spanish Crown, and one book in particular became the basis for the “Black Legend” that Spain’s rivals used against it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#indies
which was published sixty years into the invasion and genocide. The Vatican’s response (at the same time that it was publishing is infamous Index (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#index) was to bury subsequent works in its archives, and Las Casas’s history of the Caribbean and Pedro de Cieza de León’s history of the Incas:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cieza
were not published for three hundred years.
Over the years, I have heard that my work was unnecessarily negative and bitter. From what I have seen, such critics have completely missed the point of my work, and I have to suspect that it is an intentional misunderstanding. My point is not that the Spaniards were a bunch of mass murdering thieves, but that we celebrate their feats. Columbus, Washington, Serra, Soto, Cortes, and the rest of that rogues’ gallery have cities, nations, rivers, states, and so on named in their honor. Columbus was once up for sainthood, and Serra still is:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint
It would be as if Europe was dotted with Hitlervilles and ubiquitous statues of Der Fuhrer if the Nazis were successful, with Auschwitz being some kind of museum to Hitler’s greatness. That is my point.
Even Mother Teresa was arguably a mass-murdering thief:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=645385&highlight=teresa#post645385
taking in hundreds of millions of dollars under unaccountable and likely false pretenses, while her real mission was literally sending her charges to heaven ASAP, not healing them. George Bush is a mass-murdering thief, too (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292), but emperors never have to face justice in our world. Only the losers do.
But there are legitimate controversies about those early days of conquest, such as what the state of civilization was in the Western Hemisphere in 1492, how many lived there, if there was pre-Columbian cultural contact with other peoples, and so on. One big one that I even became embroiled in was if the inhabitants of Española, where the Spanish first “colonized,” were completely exterminated, or if some survived, and if some did, what proportion of the original population survived. I have posted a brief note about the issue:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#note
and hope to one day dive a little more deeply on it. At this time, it is well-established that the population decline on Española was virtually total, if not total. The pre-Columbian population on Española is a chief area of debate on the 1492 population of the Western Hemisphere. I have seen estimates for the 1492 population of Española as low as 60K and as high as eight million. It is the infamous battle between the “low counters” and the “high counters,” and the Españolan population debate is part of the Western Hemisphere debate that puts the 1492 population between eight million and over a hundred million.
The most recently study that I am aware of is Massimo Livi Bacci’s, as documented in his Conquest, which estimates the Españolan population at about 250K, and the Western Hemisphere at 30-40 million. Livi Bacci is a demographer and careful scholar, and does anything but justify what the Spaniards did, but his will be far from the last word on the subject, if there ever will be. For instance, the Spaniards became deathly ill when they arrived, and Oviedo, who was anything but an ally of the natives, repeated the assertion of his mortal enemy, Las Casas, that the epidemic that accompanied Columbus’s men as soon as they stepped off of their ships in 1493 left the natives dead in great, stinking piles, although Livi Bacci dismisses the notion. Today, it is thought that some variety of influenza was the culprit, and the natives had no defense to the disease. The issue is still subjected to scientific investigation:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16762260
Nobody wants to admit to being the source of syphilis, and European nations have been accusing each other of “inventing” and spreading it for several centuries, and the Taino have been accused of it, but it may well have been something initiated by the Spanish rapists and subsequently “invented” in Europe:
http://www.uctp.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=76
Even though I stated that I should just refer to my essays, I just spent the morning reading up on the subject, once again, and I’ll give some idea of how great the controversy is. Dominica is in the Lesser Antilles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominica#History
and because of the fierce resistance of the natives (today called Caribs) and there was no gold to be had, the Spanish initially left it alone, but as with the entire periphery of the Caribbean, they raided it for slaves to work the mines and plantations of Española and Puerto Rico, as the native populations swiftly collapsed under the Spanish lash. The Lesser Antilles were sparsely populated, compared to Espanola, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. In a relatively recent study of the population of Dominica in 1492, the authors noted a complete dearth of pre-contact population studies for the Lesser Antilles, and they arrived at a 1492 population of around 15K.
http://sites.maxwell.syr.edu/clag/yearbook2000/burkelovell.htm
Española is a hundred times larger than Dominica, and so would have had a population of around 1.5 million in 1492, extrapolating from the Dominica estimate, and the islands are topologically and climactically similar. That is far less than eight million, but far higher than 250K.
Similarly, the minimalists have rejected the idea that the Mesoamerican smallpox epidemic of 1520, which began on Espanola in 1518, wiping out most of the rest of the natives (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#fate), was really very damaging to the Mesoamericans, and papers like this one take the minimalists to task:
http://www.hist.umn.edu/~rmccaa/noncuant/democat0.htm
and this morning I was reading my copy of Peter Martyr’s De orbo novo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Martyr_d%27Anghiera
in response to reading the “pyrrhic victory” statement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno#Population_decline
which I have seen for years at Wikipedia. I have half a mind to challenge/change it, as it makes the Taino famine into some sort of miscalculation on their part in a “battle.” They were trying to avoid extermination. But that kind of bias is endemic at Wikipedia:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/wikimass.htm
I am going to have to do battle with Wikipedia’s “editors” on Brian O’s bio this year:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O%27Leary
and I am not looking forward to the experience, but somebody needs to try to manage his legacy there.
In that wonderful talk given by David Stannard that I recently heard:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=643684&highlight=stannard#post643684
he ended it beautifully, saying that the reason for studying genocides is to learn to not commit them anymore. Obviously, the USA has not learned the lesson at all, and is the world’s leading genocidist nation today, with what we recently did to Iraq and what we are still doing to Afghanistan.
Yesterday, I was reading my recent issue of Z Magazine, and read the most recent article on Libya and Africa by this guy:
http://www.zcommunications.org/natos-war-on-libya-is-a-war-on-african-development-by-dan-glazebrook
http://www.zcommunications.org/libya-africa-and-africom-an-ongoing-disaster-by-dan-glazebrook
Virtually no American knows it, but Gaddafi was the leading figure in trying to unite Africa against neo-imperialism by Europe and the USA. The USA tried to kill Gaddafi in the 1980s, based on our usual lies:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#libya1
but this latest “Arab Spring” overthrow and murder of Gaddafi was all about wiping out an obstacle to our imperial plans, as are Syria and Iran today, etc. It may take a while, but we usually kill our targets, even if they were our assets, such as Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. The hypocrisy is surreal. Uncle Ed wrote a book titled Beyond Hypocrisy, as the USA’s actions have gone so far past hypocrisy that new term had to be used, and he selected chutzpah, and he calls the USA Uncle Chutzpah in his writings. And he has even recently stated that the USA has gone beyond chutzpah in its admonishments of with Syria:
http://www.zcommunications.org/beyond-chutzpah-by-edward-s-herman
so some new term will have to be selected.
I really don’t have the time or emotional reserves to cover chapter and verse of the invasion, conquest, genocide, and “settling” of the New World by the Europeans. These essays cover the territory fairly well:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm
and if I can find the time this year, I plan to revisit them and do a little editing/rewriting, but they hold up pretty well to my eye, all these years later.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
It won’t be easy for me, but I want to leave aside, to some degree, the awesome crimes that Europe committed when it learned to sail the world. As I wrote earlier, stealing three continents from their inhabitants was history’s greatest economic event. Even in college, I heard economists say how little the “Third World” meant to the West, but that is either disingenuous or blind or both, without their land to steal, the European experience would have been a very different one, and it is legitimate to wonder if the Industrial Revolution would have happened at all. Europe also already had a great debt to Islam for reintroducing the Greek writings that the Catholic Church eradicated as “pagan,” which led to humanism and the rise of science:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#toledo
The horse collar came from China, which allowed horses to pull plows, which was a huge economic boost to Europe:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=collar#post624099
Those pagan Greeks also invented the watermill:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermill#Classical_antiquity
The caravel is what the Portuguese used to begin to sail the high seas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravel#History
It turns out that the legendary Henry the Navigator may not have had a “school” where the skills of “discovery” were learned:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Henry_the_Navigator#Vila_do_Infante_and_Portuguese_exploration
but what was learned borrowed from Islam, although Europeans get credit, and where the most credit is due is for their predilection for violence. The incessant wars of Europe enhanced the tools of violence and the skills to use them. Once Europe developed the technical prowess to take advantage of ocean current and winds, it then became an irresistible force that few people on Earth could withstand. The Japanese and Chinese kept out the Portuguese interlopers, which bought them centuries of freedom from European conquest. But for the rest of the world’s peoples, conquest came, some quickly, and for others more slowly, but it eventually came for everybody.
In the Western Hemisphere, the invasion by Europe led to what is today called the Columbian Exchange:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exchange
Most importantly, the Columbian Exchange brought the Western Hemisphere’s foods to the rest of the world, which is what began the global population boom, as they were far more productive crops than what much of the Old World had to offer. Potatoes, manioc, sweet potatoes, and maize were highly superior crops that many Old World peoples soon came to subsist on, from the potato in Ireland and Russia to the sweet potato in northern china, to manioc in tropical Africa and Asia and maize in Africa. And it was not just “luck” that “gave” the Indians such productive crops (this fact also militates against the “sparsely populated Western Hemisphere” meme of the conquering White Man). For many years, scientists have tried to figure out how maize was invented by the Indians.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize#Origin
and however the Indians did it, it may be the greatest feat in the history of agriculture. Maize is so dependent on humans that if there were no humans, there would be no maize. It has to be plucked off the cob and buried in order to grow. In 1492, the natives of the Western Hemisphere had developed three thousand varieties each of potatoes and maize, and maize was grown from Chile to New England. Corn and potatoes are my personal staples, along with fruit. The Columbian Exchange went both ways:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exchange#Examples
The Columbian Exchange was the greatest exchange of flora and fauna since the joining of North and South America three million years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Interchange
and another thing that white people have tended to minimize is the Indian contribution to democratic forms of government. The USA’s Constitution partly has the Iroquois to thank:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#iroquois
and the European encounters with the Indians of North America may have well been influential on the Enlightenment of the 18th century:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#voltaire
which is credited in large measure with the form of government that the USA adopted, but not too many white people seem to be interested in finding out. :)
All that the Spanish wanted from the New World experience was gold and silver, and they killed off their labor supply, so within a century, Spain and its imperial domains slipped into a depopulated backwater.
The English originally sought gold, too, but when they came up empty:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
it became a very short-lived fur trade, and then tobacco in the southern lands of Virginia. The English also wasted no time getting involved in the slave trade, and Charleston became a slave center, for enslaving the Indians and shipping them off to short lives on Caribbean sugar plantations:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#charleston
From an economic perspective it was all a disaster, as tobacco and sugar were recreational drugs, and silver and gold were worthless metals – their only value was in their scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#smith
The fur was the only item with an intrinsic value, as it conserved energy, but a great deal of it was for fashion, as beaver-skin hats became quite the rage, in a Europe where wearing fur was once reserved for royalty, as Europe had long ago decimated its fur-bearing animals, and the effort would soon circle the entire globe, meeting from East and West in the west coast of North America (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#fur ), similar to how whaling became a globe-circling enterprise, as all the whales were decimated:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling
The only “worthwhile” economic effect for England was the introduction of Indian foods and a “virgin” continent to plunder. The forests and soils of the Eastern Woodlands were intact, which was a huge boon to the invaders, with their toolset that could wrench the energy from the land like the Indians either could not or would not. History’s most spectacular deforestation was soon underway, and not only did the Indians of the woodlands become extinct, but so did the woodlands bison and the passenger pigeon, which flew in what were likely the greatest flocks in Earth’s history. It took less than three hundred years for the invaders to completely level the Eastern Woodlands, and here is where the discussion will become more “economic,” as the Eastern Woodlands were a great place to reproduce the English political-economy. It was far richer than the deforested and eroded British Isles, and it did not take the Europeans long to figure it out, and human history’s greatest migration was soon underway.
Again, it is hard to quantify and even qualify what the opening of an entire hemisphere to European exploitation did for Europe. The New World became a huge safety valve for Europe’s huddled masses, and if the state of Europe before 1492 is any indication, its fortunes increased dramatically with the rape and plunder of North America. The Spanish “wasted” their opportunity in their stupidity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#carl
but the English, Dutch, and French began to take advantage early on, but the North American experience was always primarily an English experience. The Dutch and French really did not commit many of their people to the migration experience. On the eve of the American Revolution, nearly a million of England’s “surplus population” lived in North America, while the French had only about 50K.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#french
So the European experience in North America was dominated by England’s political-economic dynamics. Being an island nation, England was socially isolated and backward, compared to the more cosmopolitan Dutch and French, and that heritage is with the USA today. The English were the most openly exterminatory toward the Indians of the European invaders, and they were the most xenophobic. I doubt that it is a coincidence that the Industrial Revolution began in England at the same time that it was flooding its surplus population into the New World, and not all of it was voluntary. I wrote earlier about the Enclosure and Game laws that kicked the peasants off the land, which created the workforce for the Industrial Revolution:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=623427&highlight=enclosure#post623427
Those peasants who were not cooperative with the program were forcibly removed from English society, and in the early days of industrialization, “criminals” were shipped off to Georgia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Georgia_(U.S._state)#British_colony
After the American Revolution, that avenue for dumping the restless herd members was shut off, and the English began dumping them onto Australia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Australia#Convicts_and_colonial_society
It had the effect of culling the herd in England, conditioning them for life in the mills and factories. Again, quantifying the effect is probably impossible, but it had to have had a great impact on the Industrial Revolution. The Inquisition did not have to burn that many people at the stake, but a few flaming examples were sufficient to terrify the herd.
It is time for work, but what is coming is the rise of industrialization and how it worked both in Europe and the USA.

Wade

=== Post deleted == sorry
== Re copied my post ==
Hi Wade, you go deep in your human history narratives. while reading your last posts, I couldn't help but thinking that there might be some kind of a 'karmatic justice' in here (God forbid). It used to be the white man towering over other races and enslaving them, now the power that be don't care whether we are black or white, they just want to create human slaves on this planet, regardless of religion, race, gender or class. One can cynically suggest a poetic justice - we all taste the dishes prepered by our own hands. Or maybe this may sound too harsh?
Slavery seemed to always be present on this planet, It looks as if it used to be a recognised institution since the days of Sumer as well as Egypt. When in 1779 Fredrich Blumenbach created the notion of race, he basically rooted the racial distinctions as we know it today and helped to steadily increase the separation between people even more, although one may argue that this is only a scientific distinction:
Blumenbach divided the human species in 1779 into five races, later founded on crania research (description of human skulls), and called them (1793/1795):
the Caucasian race or white race
the Mongolian or yellow race
the Malayan or brown race
the Ethiopian, or black race
the American or red race.
http://www.biologie-seite.de/bioWiki_120/images/thumb/3/39/Blumenbach's_five_races.JPG/270px-Blumenbach's_five_races.JPG
He was a European. I read that the word 'slave' comes from 'slav', which refers to the european group of people. from the historical explanation on the meaning of the word 'slave' -
" The derivation of the word slave encapsulates a bit of European history and explains why the two words slaves and Slavs are so similar; they are, in fact, historically identical. Slavs became slaves around the beginning of the ninth century when the Holy Roman Empire tried to stabilize a German-Slav frontier..."
Another one who was not shaming the European tradition was the English born Cecil Rhods, the founder of the southern African territory Rhodesia. From Wikipedia:
" Rhodes used his wealth and that of his business partner Alfred Beit and other investors to pursue his dream of creating a British Empire in new territories to the north by obtaining mineral concessions from the most powerful indigenous chiefs.."
We now need to reinvent ourself from the beginning. revealing free energy to the world is the ONLY thing that can free us from our own slavery self, from this on-going wheel, from other's agenda's. In relations to energy the word free has a double meaning, but it is basically the same. You always say, Wade, that it is going to change us in ways that we can not even imagine. yes, it will bring abundance to an almost dying world, but it will also dismantle our states of minds, our ways of thinking, our behaviours to a point that we might not recognise ourselves. It would be a developmental progression like we never knew. It is absolutely something to look forward to!

Hi Limor:
You are like Ilie, David, and CdnSirian in that you either do not think highly of your observations or are concerned about interrupting the cadence of my posts, and you are among the best contributors. My experience has been that the most thoughtful and considerate people think that way, and you need not be so hard on yourself. There was a lot of profound beauty in your post. I saw your post before you deleted it, and below was partly the beginning of my response to it, but now that your post is gone, I will add some context so that my response is understood.
You mentioned that FE is likely the only way out of our mess. My reply is…
I am actually sympathetic to the small-ball “solutions” put forth by scarcity-addicted people such as Heinberg:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
but it would take vastly more enlightenment to voluntarily reduce Earth’s population to less than a billion than it does to reach the level of enlightenment where we can handle abundance. That is where their “solutions” are not practical in the slightest, and their dismissal or semi-ridicule of FE, even treating it like the enemy, has been so mind-boggling to those in the FE field. It took me many years to realize that I was seeing an addiction to scarcity.
I am not sure that FE is the only way out, but it is by far the easiest, and the only one with the potential to be truly abundant and environmentally harmless. But as I can attest, there is nothing easy about it, but trying to convince humanity that it needs to self-exterminate itself is sure not a job that I would want. My task may be thankless, but Heinberg has really taken on a hard task.
Yes, the magnitude of what FE means is truly overwhelming, and that is part of what scares everybody. As I have found out however, it is not really the fear that we will blow the planet up, but that we all lose our niches in our scarcity-based world.
Yes, the transformations of FE will be many, such as environmentally and economically, but biggest ones for people will be socially and spiritually, and the shift from a paradigm of scarcity to abundance will be the single biggest transition in the human journey.
To people such as Brian O, me, and the few others like us, it began to become apparent that we were not really up against Godzilla, although having him chew on you is never fun, but we were up against the scarcity-based paradigm that rules people’s hearts and minds. Making FE happen is not really about technology, but about love and sentience. People who can make the paradigm shift from scarcity to abundance, without having it first delivered to their door, almost do not exist on the planet, and that is partly why I say that I am looking for needles in haystacks.
I did not think about the racism part of your post much before your post was deleted, but racism really began its ascent with Europe’s conquest of the world, and getting on a ship surrounded with people of one skin color (white, usually), and getting off of it some months later to be surrounded by people of markedly different skin, hair, and eye color was something new. In the 1700s, racism began having a scientific basis, and it began to become more pronounced in the next century with Darwin’s theory of evolution and the resulting social Darwinism that began to appear. By World War II, American scientists actually said with straight faces that the Japanese had brains well behind American development, in evolutionary terms. Of course, Hitler’s regime took it to new levels, but it only stood on the shoulders of a pretty deeply ingrained racism that the USA the champion of. In terms of scale, intensity, and duration, the USA is history’s most racist nation, and it is not all in the past here, either. If the people of Iraq and Afghanistan had white skin, we would not have murdered millions of them in the name of hydrocarbons.
I was raised racist, as were all of my friends, to one degree or another. It would be nice for racism to go away completely in my lifetime, and great strides have been taken in many areas, but we have a long way to go. Scarcity-based ideologies are baked deeply in all areas, but I would like to think that the really crude ones, such as sexism, racism, sexual orientation-ism, ethnic discrimination, and the like will go away before the broader ones do:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
Until we have economic abundance, all ideologies that seek the raise one group above another, ultimately economically, are going to be difficult to overcome. If you study New World slavery, it did not become very racist until captured Africans were brought over, and then the economics and racism of American slavery become mutually reinforcing, and it is still with us, as blacks are very disenfranchised, but their treatment is tame compared to American Indians, where reservation Indians have some of the lowest life expectancies on Earth, about thirty years less than the adjoining white population. The numbers are incredible. But yes, Godzilla is not so particular, race-wise, as the entire human family is the herd he is milking. Godzilla is not all white men.

Hi Wade, Thank you, I deleted the post because I did not like the tone in which I wrote, the words and the way to convey them don't come easy to me (much like the lyrics of the song : ) and it does not reflect me or the way I speak in real life.. since you related to it I will re-post it (I have a saved draft in my email when I first wrote it)
Waw, Heinberg's self made eugenics suggestion to the near future, requires a great deal of understanding, awarness and respect for the planet from society in order to cooperate with this plan, the absurd is that if these would have exist in the first place then the earth would have looked like heaven by now, but not really, because those understandings are also based on limitation. I can more and more understand what you mean by relating to our 'scarcity mind'. There seem to be many honest people and researchers who are seeing the problem, looking for solutions and a way out but when the mind thinks with the same state that created the problem (as your uncle Albert implied) it's simply going in circles and creating more of the same.
In defense of those who refuse to believe in FE I think that we can all attest that it is highly difficult to shed the software that we have been programmed with all our lives, not to mention all of society's life, not to mention all of human history life as we know it. when we are told that something does not exist or impossible to be, we tend to believe it. I remember the first few conscious happenings in my life in 2006 which deviated towards the paranormal, the first feeling I had was being 'offended' that no one has prepered me for such a thing, neither my teachers, the school, my parents, the media and newspapers or any other adult in my life, yet I knew that what I am going through is very real. part of accepting new things especially when it comes to new physics is the need to deprogram, the same thing we are required to do with our systematic scarcity state of mind. It is one of the most important things you gave your attention to, Wade. But by god it's hard. it is a life time project, and it first, I believe, needs to be done on an individual basis, Will we be able to learn it fast enough?
You yourself say that people who can make the shift (in mind) almost do not exist on the planet, what does that make of you, Wade? a believer in the unbelieveable, a visionary? : ) you are very well may be a creator, as you've been told once or twice by mystics. But there is also enough evidence around when someone chose to remove the blinding from their eyes.
On racism: Israel is a minature example of the US, there are jews from all the various nationalities that one may imagine, Russians and Ethiopians and Europeans and Africans, Japanese, Iraqis, Yemenites, blacks, white, brown, yellow and it is as much a racist country with a lot of division to sectors and community separatism as much as in the US, without any attempt to disguise it. There is no education or sufficient governmental program designed to bridge the gaps, on the contrary, as is known, people in small groups are always easier to operate.
Racism may go away when something else will come that will make us people unite with one another, then a new racism will be created against off worlders. it is all about fear from the unknown and is also about not knowing who we are and the environment that we live in. the world apparently is not (yet) our oyster :)

Hi Limor:
Big subjects you bring up. Yes, shedding the scarcity mindset is the hard part, and each person needs to do the work. My narrative on energy and the human journey is largely intended to show how energy scarcity has shaped our past, but also how relative energy abundance has led to the world today, but that it is also only relative, and we still fight over energy, much like hunter-gatherers once did and in every stage of civilization. We just do it on a global scale today.
My “experiment” here is if I can get enough people to understand the role that energy plays in our lives, and how many of our activities are energy-related – obtaining, preserving, and consuming it – and how energy scarcity defines our existences, even in history’s most energy-abundant nation. If I can accomplish that, then more people will focus on what is important, and what the potential of FE is. Again, Godzilla’s greatest triumph is making FE and abundance unimaginable.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm
On the human aspect, in this world that Roads visited:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roadsblade
those grey humanoids that were orchestrating the misery in that civilization were only parasites, taking advantage of a situation that humans had already created for themselves in their greed and indifference. As I wrote, those dynamics are happening on Earth, today. Roads did not cover it in his vignette, but those people agitating for an ascent from that hell that humans had created for themselves were not all about: “Let’s go get the grey beings!” They saw that humans were responsible for that hellish world, and even if they became aware of those grey beings, the only productive response would have been to stop being such easy meat for them. The situation on Earth today is likely very similar. Today, we are heading toward that world more than we are the heavenly one:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
When everybody lives in scarcity and fear, then parasites like Godzilla take advantage of the opportunity. Conspiracists often make the case that Godzilla is only current “management” of the human herd, and off-worlders have been involved from the beginning. It could well be, but the only solution is to stop being such easy meat. I don’t know if what that “archangel” told me was true, but it made sense. Whether I helped design the planet or not, I can see what FE and abundance can mean to not only human journey, but the species we share the planet with, and our dear old Mother Earth.
I have to go to work soon, but to briefly get back to the rise of Europe and the USA, the English and American experiences were very different. The English had a pronounced caste system, and even slaves in Scotland. The conquered Irish became very much second-class citizens, and conquering them was a warm-up for the invasion of North America, and similar tactics were used, including bringing in the conquered peoples as colonist cannon fodder. The Indians began fighting back as they were exterminated:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
but they never really had a prayer. The energy methods from the Old World provided for a higher carrying capacity, which meant that more people could be supported on a given amount of land, at least until the land was wrecked. In biological studies and species competition, the species with the highest carrying capacity (the ability to wrench energy from the environment) always wins.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=546922&highlight=capacity#post546922
So it was when the Europeans encountered the natives of the Western Hemisphere. And once the pesky Indians were exterminated and the remnants removed, there was an intact temperate forest, the largest intact one on Earth, that the English and their descendants mercilessly plundered for three centuries, until it was all gone. There is virtually no virgin forest east of the Mississippi, and the “wilderness” area east of the Mississippi amounts to maybe a square mile or two. There are many thousands of square miles of wilderness in my home state, lucky man that I am. Hiking in it has helped keep me sane on my journey.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=609407&viewfull=1#post609407
As I recently wrote, in a meeting of English and American diplomats soon after the American Revolution somebody noted the biggest difference between England and the USA: the Americans were all about a foot taller than the English:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=632391&highlight=diplomats#post632391
That was all about energy. The rich soils of the intact Eastern Woodlands were far more productive than the depleted soils of England. Today, the world’s poor nations ingest only about two-thirds the daily calories in their food as Westerners do. If you go to Southeast Asia, for instance, everybody is small, compared to Americans. That is all about calories. Japanese women were all dainty, not so long ago, but as they have been getting Western levels of calories, Japanese women are now as big as American women, if not so fat.
But early on in the American experience, they began to use coal as the woodlands were leveled, and they actually used English coal in the early days, as it was cheaper to transport English coal across the Atlantic than it was to move coal twenty miles over the American roads of the day. That goes back to the fact that water-borne transportation is about a hundred times as energy efficient as overland, although rails and paved roads have made land travel more energy efficient. But even today, moving goods around the world by the oceans is by far the most energy efficient means.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

Loving ever minute of this day and thread :-)
Hi Everyone,
IMHO it is all about power and control.................what is power=energy and having all the energy=control and when the masses, individually begin to accept that they give their energy away to the myriad of divisive ism's we will come together as a species in the future.
In the meantime FE is the fulcrum to tip the scales for humankind to be free and safe enough to begin a revolution of self actualization of energy's true existence and who really has always had the power. Mother Earth is a wonderful loving and living example of creating non-stop beauty while suffering abuse unabated. One day with the aide of FE we will integrate and become one, if not in this lifetime, then maybe the next and if not in this Universe then maybe the next...........................
IMHO evolution is a process and thank you for doing all you can to move the process forward. Even though it is a dance, with one step forward and two steps back I recognize we are dancing like never before. :) Some days I'm just peacefully waltzing along, or energized by the jitter bug, others I'm doing the hectic and dramatic tango, etc, etc. The beautiful awareness is that I know I'm dancing and conscious as to which dance I'm participating in and if I'm not loving it and or the dance partner I may be swaying with then I can readily change the music, dance alone or create a whole new dance and or partner, because I hear the music............... Stay tuned everyone because that is were the real power and FE lies and together we may just LOVE this world into a path of eventual "Heaven on Earth".
HUGS all Around!!

Hi Y'all;
I would like to acknowledge that I've been considerably quiet on this thread. I'm having trouble finding my voice and I'm starting to understand why, there's various reasons. I'll admit to the fear factor. I'm working on it, as I type this.
The thing is for some strange reason the material in Wade's essays is not all that unfamiliar to me. I've read a number of essays from Wade's website including some of the long extensive ones. And although I learn lots of new info that I didn't know, the underlying themes I've more or less understood for awhile. I'm an introverted observer who's been looking at the world around me, scratching my head and wondering 'we've got to be able to do better than this' since an early age. Seriously, ten minutes with me in person and anyone would realize; I'm not your average american. Granted I have enjoyed all of the same benefits that Wade has; male, white, educated american.
I used to get into huge arguments with my parents back in my teens around these issues of capitalism, imperialism, nationalism etc.. I didn't have the skills, experience or knowledge base to effectively argue my case. And they basically ran linguistic circles around me, often avoiding my main points. It created a huge rift in our relationship. Like a lot of teens I was an arrogant little punk which didn't help.
Fortunately we've managed to heal some major wounds and our relationship is the best it's been in years, probably since I first learned to speak,:). But I've learned where it's safe to go and where it's not, where I can have a subtle influence and where there's no chance in hell. I also try to find common ground, which is very difficult because we have so little in common. But, God bless 'em, I love 'em and I'm damn glad we've healed so much, it hasn't been easy.
And just to add some context; when I quit my engineering job and moved to an intentional community my Mom threatened to call the FBI. She was so freaked out, thinking I was joining some crazy cult. So I got a small taste of what it's like to be betrayed by your own family when you choose to follow your convictions that Wade so often writes about. I could easily imagine my parents believing a media hatchet job on their own son.
So, despite my lack of posts on this thread, I do think about this stuff ALL the time. I also talk about it amongst my friends, albeit cautiously and strategically, without attachment and from the heart. I know what Wade's talking about and I can now pinpoint people's responses to the levels numerated in his "Layers of the Free Energy Onion" chart. It is truly amazing, especially so since I live among a very progressive, intelligent, openminded group of people who genuinely care about what's going on in the world and are actively trying to do something about it. But yes, that scarcity program is deeply embedded.
My community is based on permaculture and I've been practicing it (sort of, trying) for about 17 years. Lately, I've been watching a semesters worth of permaculture lectures from NCState taught by Will Hooker (whom I've met and hung out with) with an eye towards the Energy aspect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture
http://courses.ncsu.edu/hs432/common/podcasts/
I've been thinking a lot about how permaculture may or may not be applicable in a world based on abundant energy. Also, can we use some of the ideas from permaculture to help create the fertile soil that will allow the free energy seed to germinate?
So the following is a list of some positive and negative aspects of permaculture in relation to free energy as I see it.
POSITIVES:
PC (permaculture) is founded on a set of ethics. "Take care of the earth, take care of the people, share the surplus".
PC is an interdisciplinary approach to system design based on observing and modeling of natural systems.
PC does account for energy (in a major way) in all of it's systems designs.
By utilizing, capturing and directing energy flows through a system, PC does have a lot of potential for creating abundance. PC gardens can be incredibly abundant, beautiful, vibrant and harmonious.
NEGATIVES:
PC does not acknowledge that free energy technology exists. Nor does it see FE as part of the solution….. yet!
Therefore, even though PC aspires to create abundance and in many ways it does, it's still somewhat mired in scarcity, which is evident in many of the solutions it promotes.
I'm sure if I sit here long enough I could think of more positives & negatives, which I will, but that's all for now. Except to say that one of the things I love about PC is that it fosters a deeper connection with nature, which I believe is extremely important. On the other hand, the complete lack of free energy in permaculture is a pretty huge negative.
So I've been struggling to reconcile these differences in my own life. I've based 17 years of my life on a philosophy that is somewhat rooted in fear and scarcity but on the other hand does offer some really sound ideas on how to create abundance. And if you've ever walked through a real permaculture garden you'll see that's it has enormous potential for abundance, especially when the energy issue is taken out of the equation. Permaculture has already been extremely beneficial in creating abundance in my own life, I could list numerous examples.
Love Y'all;
Darren

Hi:
From the earliest writings known, the devastation of the temperate forests has been a theme:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554340&highlight=gilgamesh#post554340
The civilizations of the Fertile Crescent, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Crete, Cyprus, etc., etc. all razed their forests, and it was noticed by observers of the day. In the early days of the razing, it was not necessarily seen as a bad thing, but it was also noticeable. It was usually only after the forest was destroyed that attitudes changed and their loss was lamented, and writers pined for the good old days when the forest still existed. Then, a conservation ethic could take root, although it rarely made much impact, not when there was “progress” to be made.
After the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and began to bring in their crops, animals, and attitudes, they began to turn the region into a desert:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#_edn83
as they had already done to Spain. Forests were more than a source of wood for fuel and structure, and fertile, sun-exposed soil after the trees were removed; they also absorbed water like a sponge, and slowly released it. Before the forests were removed, the water that was absorbed was slowly released as it percolated through the ecosystem, and the streams ran year-round. The streams also did not swell so much when it rained, as the forests moderated the watershed, preventing floods and droughts.
All of those medieval European tales from the forests, with dangers in its darkness (Hansel and Gretel, to name one example of many - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel#History_and_analysis ), were not so new.
“Dangerous” forests that disappeared under the axe happened with Rome:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=562534&highlight=avernian#post562534
and many other cultures.
In the early days of the English invasion of New England, and as the invaders began to deforest the land with fervor, the impact on the environment was noted. Where only one flood was noted between 1635 and 1720, between 1720 and 1800, six floods were noted (See Cronon’s Changes in the Land, p. 124). Visiting Europeans, who came from deforested lands, were shocked at the rapacity of the New Englanders. In 1749, Peter Kalm wrote,
“We can hardly be more hostile toward our woods in Sweden and Finland…than they are here: their eyes are fixed upon present gain, and they are blind to the future.”
As the streams dried up and the land became desiccated, in 1860s, the Vermont naturalist George Perkins Marsh wrote,
“In many parts of these States which have been cleared above a generation or two, the hill pastures now suffer severely from drought, and in dry seasons no longer afford either water or herbiage for cattle.”
The drying up of New England’s streams and ponds were noted by many observers of the day, but that did nothing to stop the juggernaut that began to race across the continent.
It was not until the “frontier” was about gone that a conservation ethic began, and in 1872, the first national park was established at Yellowstone:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park
Again, I am fortunate to live in Washington, which is the last place in the continental USA to begin to feel the axe, and some forests in the mountains were saved before they could be razed. John Adams, whose family lands were on Morton’s Merry Mount
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#adams1
once “boasted” that his family had probably razed more trees than any other family in America. In the first 200 years of the European invasion of North America, North America lost more woodlands than Europe lost in a thousand.
So, on one hand, the English “settlers” of the Eastern Woodlands were able to plunder forests that those back home could only dream of, and the “frontier” character of American culture was established early, and in the Western USA, that mentality is still alive and well, though anachronistic and quaint, pining for a time that is long gone. But the early days of the English invasion coincided with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, and English technology began to come over early on, even though England outlawed cutting-edge technology leaving its lands. The world’s first integrated cotton mill was established in Massachusetts in 1814:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Moody_(inventor)#Waltham
and all the rivers and streams of the Eastern Woodlands had watermills erected on them in short order. Coal began to be mined by the 1790s in Pennsylvania, where anthracite coal could be mined, which is the best coal to burn:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite#History_of_mining_and_use
But coal was always only resorted to when the wood was gone. Coal soot was nasty stuff, and everybody preferred wood for fuel instead of coal, but deforestation was always the friend of coal.
In those early days of industrialization, electricity had yet to be harnessed, so the only way to transfer the energy captured at the waterwheel or steam engine was by straps, pulleys, and gears, so the mechanical energy had to be used where it was generated, usually in the same building where the power was harnessed. So, the streams and rivers of the Eastern Woodlands, especially the hilliest parts, where the power from the gravity-drop was the greatest, were the sites of mill towns, where the workers all lived a short walk to work, with their dwellings virtually carved into the steep hillsides. As the steam engine began to overtake the watermill in the late-1800s:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653078&viewfull=1#post653078
those mill towns were abandoned. In the early 1800s in Providence, Rhode Island, for instance, there were no textile mills, but there were more than 120 in the surrounding hills.
Although the Indians always came out on the short side of any war, their resistance to extermination and removal, along with Machiavellian “assistance” by the French in particular, was an obstacle to rapid American expansion over the Appalachians. The land between the Appalachians and Mississippi was set aside for Indians by the Proclamation of 1763, when the British won the Seven Years’ War:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Proclamation_of_1763
but was totally ignored by the “settlers,” with Daniel Boone illegally penetrating into Kentucky by 1769:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#boone
By 1840, all the land set aside for the Indians, from the Appalachians to the Mississippi River, was in the hands of Americans, and virtually all of the Indians exterminated or removed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#extinct1
Washington’s genocidal plan worked brilliantly:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint
European “settlers” began flooding into the USA to take that free land. The Irish had a population explosion with the introduction of the potato, but unlike the Indians who developed three thousand varieties of potatoes, the Europeans subsisted on only a few, with the Irish subsisting solely on one variety, and they became vulnerable to the Great Potato Blight that began in 1845:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
More than a million Irish died:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)#Death_toll
and the famine initiated another great wave of immigration to the USA:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#explosion
and the Indians were easily swept aside. About that time, an ideology grew, which is one of the oldest in civilization. The Israelites had their “Promised Land” tradition, which meant annihilating the inhabitants and taking their “promised” land, and the Old Testament is perhaps the most genocidal book in history:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#joshua
The English and Americans often lifted pages from the Old Testament to justify the slaughter and dispossession of the Indians, from the very beginning of their invasion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#underhill
even invoked by U.S. presidents:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jehovah
By the 1840s, after the Indians east of the Mississippi were eradicated, the American ideology became “let’s go for all of it,” and Manifest Destiny was born:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal2
Hitler later took inspiration from the American example with his Lebensraum ideology, and the Japanese also developed the same ideology toward China:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#lebensraum
Again, it is probably impossible to overstate the effect of being able to plunder an entire continent, on the rise of England and the USA. American industrialization lagged behind England’s, partly because their effort was divided between its nascent industries and dispossessing the Indians and “settling” their lands. As I wrote recently, America’s Civil War was certainly not about freeing the slaves:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=658651&viewfull=1#post658651
but it did highlight, probably better than any other event that I can think of, the contrast between industrial and pre-industrial economies. Slavery vanished as the North industrialized, while slavery was the heart of the Southern economy, as it was all about plantations, which had always been conducive to slavery, for the entirety of pre-industrial civilization. The North won the war because its industrial capacity could just grind down the South in a war of attrition. The USA eventually won against the Japanese in World War II the same way, and the Allies in general:

Hi Darren,
Love your post and information on Perma culture. I have been reading quite abit and watching video's as well and believe there is real merit in being connected to nature and natural systems that have sustained Mother Earths existence despite her inhabitants :)
Thank you for finding your voice, I have very much valued hearing you and enjoyed listening to your ideas regarding abundance, perma culture and FE.

Hi:
Darren, that will take me a little cyber-ink to respond to, but let me say that you are exactly the kind of “freak” that I am looking for. :)
On a more general note, I don’t think it is just me, but I seem to be hearing choral noises on this thread. Keep it up, is all I can say. :)
If I may be bold, let me guess on what you have been encountering. FE is way too threatening to tell your parents about. They would not only have a Level 1 response:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1
but it would likely be one of those torches-and-pitchforks Level 1 responses, where heretics who espouse crazy and dangerous stuff like FE are only good for burning at the stake (and the level 5s will be glad to help get the fire going).
Even in an intentional, progressive community like yours, on FE you are probably totally alone. You may have broached the subject to some. If they are scientifically illiterate, their response will likely be Level 2. But being that you have scientific credentials, they might kind of listen to you, but they may also think you lost your marbles, and will give you a wide berth in the future. The scientifically literate will give you a Level 3 response, and because you have a scientific background, they may even tell you that you lost your marbles, heretic that you are ("Don't you remember your physics classes?!"). The open-minded will usually come in at Level 4, where your community sure could use an FE device, so if you know how to get one, the community sure could use one. Even an open-minded scientist might say that if you can put a working FE device in his hand, he might believe that FE is possible.
The worldlier will realize that the mechanisms of capitalism probably won’t welcome something like FE, so they may think in Level 8 terms, that even if it was possible and even developed to some degree, that the boys at the top will make sure that nothing like it will ever come to market. Of those whose reactions went beyond Level 5, you can count them on one hand, and maybe even one finger, or even no fingers. :) If you have more than that, then you are truly blessed, and I would be interested in hearing your stats. I have seen and visited plenty of planned communities. Some were cults, and I was once driven from my home by a hippie cult that took over my neighborhood. I never saw one that seemed like a fertile field for FE, often because communities like that were into the shared austerity models that Bucky spoke about:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#austerity
Permaculture is definitely a step in the right direction, and FE would take it up an octave or four. This world has permaculture down to a true science:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
and far more. As I have written, one of the most fun things if FE made it past the inertia and suppression is getting in a room with a permaculturist, or engineer, or architect, and other hands-on professions like that, especially the most talented and creative in their field, and ask them what they could come up with if energy, gravity, materials, water, etc., were not constraints, and see where their imagination takes them. But it probably will only work when they know that FE and antigravity are real, otherwise it will seem silly and maybe even dangerous. With FE it then becomes a real exercise, not a crazy fantasy. Harnessing the imagination and experience of people like that to FE is where it can really get to be fun. I hope to live to see some of that happen. As Sandy said, if not in this universe, then in another. :)
Time for playing husband, and then bed.

Hi:
One last note on forests, which I have mentioned before:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=555848&highlight=transpiration#post555848
is that trees also circulate water through the soils via transpiration, and actually keep a negative pressure on the soil, sucking water into it. When trees are razed, that dynamic is killed, which also can kill the soils. There are many consequences of deforestation. I am not saying that every square inch of land needs to be covered in forest, and it never has been, but forest ecosystems are friendly to life in ways that no other land-based environment is. The “boundary layer” that the first plants created provided the foothold for animals to leave the oceans:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=561092&viewfull=1#post561092
Tree roots stabilized the soils and created the rivers we see today. Without trees, the rivers would all be braided, without any riverbanks:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=561092&viewfull=1#post561092
Deforestation wrecks ecosystems in many ways, and even destroys the basis for land-based life.
Back to Darren’s post. For those who get past Level 5 responses:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
then it can really become dangerous. The pitfalls are numerous:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls
and I have either fallen in some of them myself, seen others disappear into them, or I inspected the edge of the pit warily, heard screams coming from deep within the bowels of the pit or the caught a whiff of decay, and decided that I did not need to explore it any further.
Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 have swallowed up innumerable aspirants. Most did not get ten feet down the path before they disappeared into one of those pitfalls.
You really have to start thinking big, and by that, I mean you have to have a personal paradigm shift, to really even handle thinking about FE and what can come with it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
It is easy to become overwhelmed, dive into the first rabbit hole that comes along, etc. And none of those early-stage pitfalls have anything to do with Godzilla. You usually have to be well on your way to Oz before the flying monkeys come for you, and they are actually invisible monkeys for the most part, or they first appear to be butterflies, so people can go to sleep among the poppies, become paranoid, fight with each other, and defeat themselves before the monkeys even need to arrive. That is why I keep stressing that getting to FE and abundance is like walking the razor’s edge, and why all the good stuff sits in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard today.
I am not saying that the singers in the choir will never “do anything” in the FE field. What I am saying, however, is that almost nobody has ever proven themselves fit for the task of chasing after FE, and the only people who have a prayer would meet most of these qualifications:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
It is just what it is. With humanity and Earth in the balance, that level of commitment and virtue is needed to right the ship, for those few who will be on the leading edge, and I will ask that level of commitment of nobody, but even being in the choir will be hard, thankless work, on a worldly level, but the soul-fulfillment will be grand, and it just might make a dent when all is said and done.
I have seen a thousand pretenders for every contender, and I am not looking for heroes. It is possible that some heroes will come from the choir, but nobody who thinks they are a hero will really be one. The greatest heroes that I ever met became heroes just because they were trying to do the right and decent thing, not because they wanted to be immortalized in song and legend. People like Ralph:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon
Dennis:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice
and the few others like them had their moments of truth that nearly ended their lives. I would rather have been anywhere else on Earth than on that witness stand that day:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces
Being a hero is not like it is in cowboy movies.
There is nothing about solving the FE riddle that is easy, but if enough people do the work, we may be able to make some harmonic noise that shakes something loose, in a good way.
I have a little more time before work, so back to the rise of Europe and the USA. As I stated earlier, England was the first out of the gate on industrialization, and had the field to itself for the better part of a century, before other nations joined the fray:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653078&highlight=switzerland#post653078
and that big lead ended up making England the world’s leading imperial power. France helped carve away England’s most successful colonies in the American Revolution, and England’s offspring had surpassed it within a little more than a hundred years. In 1880, the USA’s per capita level of industrialization was in second place to Britain, but was less than half of it. By 1913, the USA passed up Britain in per capita level of industrialization (see Kennedy’s The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, p. 200), and by 1928 the USA’s per capita industrialization was 50% higher than Britain’s. And in absolute terms, it was far more dramatic. In 1928, the USA’s industrial capacity was four times Britain’s, and was about equal to the combined industrial capacity of Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Italy and Japan combined. Those were the primary belligerents in World War II, and the USA was as big as all of them put together. World War II saw the destruction of the industrial base of all of the USA’s rivals, and in 1945, the USA possessed fully half of the world’s measurable wealth. There has been nothing like that in history. I was born during the post-war boom in the USA, which is history’s biggest economic bubble, and it ended when energy-consumption per capita peaked in the USA in 1973-1974, with the first oil crisis. Peak Oil is now upon us, with fracking, mining the tar sands, deep-ocean drilling and the like being the dregs-sucking activity that accompanies every resource depletion event in history.
But I get ahead of myself a little. I want to go back to some of the details of the rise of England and the USA, with its rivals trying to play catch-up. Again, stealing a hemisphere was crucial to the rise of both England and the USA, and it was fitting that the biggest energy prize so far, oil, was first drilled in the USA, in 1859, just as the USA began its steep ascent of industrialization. The USA was the leading oil-producing nation for a long time. The USA still provided more than half of global production in 1950:
http://www.americanforeignrelations.com/O-W/Oil-Oil-and-world-power.html
Today, it is about ten percent:

Time for work.

I've stumbled today over this video, a testimony from "survivors of the Canadian Residential Schools"
kCkA8Op0-ek
These men are looking for someone to at least admit what was done to them, how their lands were stolen and their culture destroyed.
While listening to this interview I had sudden understanding of this quote that Wade refers to in his essays:
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it."
Most of the American population will never ever give a fair hearing to the "natives". To do so would mean that they would have to admit that they are currently living on stolen land, they would have to admit how horrendous it is to have other humans live in "reserves". They would have to seriously consider that the native may have more "rights" on this land than what was granted to them. They would have to talk to the native people as equals and deeply apologize for the genocide that took place so that they can have their comfortable lives...
The same is true for oil. How could they afford to even consider the Middle East their equals when their entire life style is dependent on the stolen oil? I am sorry to be picking on Americans in this post, but it looks like their high standard of life is at the expense of the rest of the planet :(. How could they ever admit to this? One way would be to help bring free energy to the world, to make it so that apologizing, acknowledging and healing past mistakes does not have to lead to more people suffering... until that happens there will only be denial, because the truth is incredibly hard to face. How would "Americans" feel if they would be forced to live on a reserve?

Hi Ilie,
What you say is very true! However if abundance for all was alive and well in this world it would not take long for people to apologize to one another for wrongs and harm done. At least from my experience in life I could not right the wrong I had done until I understood why I did what I did and that given another choice, chances are I would have acted different.
Being a Canadian and having worked with many First Nations peoples, bands and councils the devastation is pretty well complete as far as conditioning and total victimization. This has happened all over the world to all indigenous peoples however the reserves are visible in North America and invisible on many levels in other countries IMO.
I'm not sure that they will ever get their due coming from a victim stance but the one thing I do take heart in is the fact that they are coming together with support from other cultures and peoples on many levels, resulting in building cooperation versus division. First Nations now have to work toward stopping the lateral violence and prejudice they have with one another even within a Tribal Council that formulates a number of tribes. When I worked in the Yukon in Northern Canada and in the heart of the Province of Alberta as well, I worked for council's that oversaw 4-5 tribes and within that system they had a hierarchy just like white society with the most industrialized band looking down on those farther down the line. The scarcity paradigm is alive and well in all cultures and the indoctrination of the indigenous people validated warring as a way of means. Many indigenous were warring before Europeans came on the scene as the scarcity theme was already alive and well.
As the process of freeing civilization continues, the steps we all take makes a difference. When I say it does my heart good to see the indigenous people coming together around the world I mean it, as the strength they possess is something to behold and admire and to see them publicly come forth including the "Idle No More" movement here in Canada is admirable IMHO. In essence it may not work or be the answer to recognition of their sovereignty as a First Nations people or right the wrongs been and being done to them, but it is a step in self actualization and moving out of the state of victim hood............scarcity!! I just keep saying Way To Go!!! With an Irish heritage (Grandfather immigrated from Ireland or may have been running from the law :D) it never crosses my mind that the English and other oppressors should apologize to me for the attempts of genocide and generations of dysfunction my lineage has experienced. This is the world of Scarcity, so deep rooted as Wade's writings depict daily.
In a group setting one day there was a very heart rendering session on the abuse from residential schools that the individuals participating shared openly and their experiences where as horrendous as in the above video. Their trauma and pain was palatable. The shame and guilt I felt at the time was overwhelming. Being the only white person in the room and through heart felt tears I apologized for the insurmountable harm my prejudices and societies prejudice's and oppression has brought them from generation to generation. They as a group of fellow human beings rushed in to take care of me and to nurture me as we walked together to a place of mutual understanding and forgiveness. Our hearts met each other that day and there was no distinction of color, race, creed, etc. Our energies safely and freely intermingled!! That is just one experience that will be repeated over and over again with individuals and groups around the world with the advent and the implementation of Free Energy. I can feel the joy and connectedness already or maybe it is just re-living the memory of the above experience, but some how I don't think so as I sit here with a big grin on my face envisioning the abundance of Love.

I wrote almost all of the below before I saw Sandy’s masterful post. That just might be the post of the year here, so far. Keep singing, my dear.
Hi Ilie:
Pick away. :) Of course, those charges have more gravity when an American makes them, which is partly why I do it. Yes, the natives of Canada had a similar experience, if not so bloody and overt. Much of the American experience was comprised of outright extermination campaigns:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#goldrush
But Canada and the USA share that English heritage, which was not pretty:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
The Huron people lived in what became Canada:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#champlain
The Indian “schools” in Canada and the USA worked similarly (we did sterilizations, too http://muse.jhu.edu/login?type=summary&url=/journals/american_indian_quarterly/v024/24.3lawrence.html ). The rubric of “education”,” philanthropy,” great “humanitarian” works and the like make nice cover stories for theft and genocide.
The most forceful writer on the American version of those “schools” is Ward Churchill:
http://www.amazon.com/Kill-Indian-Save-Man-Residential/dp/0872864340/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365734649&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=kili+indian+save+man
and as I have written, the establishment terminated his career for writings like that:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=637484&viewfull=1#post637484
The Canadian genocidal activities did not get as much press as the American ones, but it was also evil business:
http://canadiangenocide.nativeweb.org/intro2.html
and the Canadians did it under the tent pole of education and the like.
Unlike the USA, the Canadian government at least made a show of an apology:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Indian_residential_school_system#Federal_government_apology
The USA never apologizes for anything:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#sorry
The USA has used all manner of subterfuge, with a veneer of “humanitarian” motives which never survive the slightest scrutiny:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#dawes
But the USA was far from alone:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#congo
Our humanitarian record is among the worst on Earth today, if not the worst on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record
I want to, however, draw the connection that may not be obvious to all, on this issue and how it related to the FE conundrum. Again, the primary lesson my journey was that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity, and that is the reason why we do not have FE today:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
Not Godzilla’s antics, not because there are technological issues, not because FE is “impossible,” and so on.
When I see all the denial by Americans that any more than a handful of Iraqis even died in Iraq due to our invasion, much less the fact that millions died:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
or that virtually nobody in the USA today (at least white people) wants to admit what instruments of genocide the reservations still are, it is all egocentric lack of integrity, plain and simple, and scarcity reinforces that egocentrism, as people just want to be on the “winning team” no matter what. Even if they rationalize the fate of the losers, they really know, deep down, that the differences are inconsequential. My status as a member of history’s most privileged demographic group is an accident of birth, but my “peers” – white, educated, American men – almost never want to admit it. We are all riding a bubble, a bubble that has been slowly deflating for forty years, and may pop soon, and globally, unless enough of us can wake up.
When economic scarcity becomes a thing of the past (only FE has a chance to make that happen), the games people play to “get theirs” while ignoring the suffering that they inflict on others in order to “get theirs” will be seen as something akin to slavery and other “primitive” behaviors, relegated to relics of our past, a past that we will all be happy that we overcame.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
One pal says, “Take the best, and leave the rest.” That has been my approach for a long time, too. The positive and negative developments can be seen in every stage of the human journey, and it depends on the perspective. Only so much sunlight hits Earth, and when humans ramped up their energy consumption, before industrialization, it almost always meant that energy was taken from another life form. The expansion of humans to all inhabitable continents ended up driving most of the world’s megafauna to extinction:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5
Domestication favored the “thriving” of animals that were domesticated, but their lives became something for humans to consume. Humans also became “domesticated” along with their animals, and the world became less wild, in a number of ways, when the Domestication Revolution happened. The human mind was also domesticated. Agriculture always led to cities, and cities always led to elites, who clambered to the top of the economic hierarchies. Because energy was scarce, even though more energy was being wrenched from the land, economic hierarchies developed. Those hierarchies have yet to go away, but they have become less pronounced in ways. Chattel slavery ended with industrialization, and women became far freer, which helped lead to what is called the demographic transition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition
The world’s richest man goes to the movies by himself and nobody notices him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates
which is a far cry from the entourages that have accompanied elites from the beginning. From the very beginnings, ideologies were concocted to justify the situation of scarcity and the elites receiving their disproportionate share. The elites were granted divine status in the day’s religions. They had monuments to themselves, harems, palaces, fancy clothing and the like. It was not only elite status that ideologists labored to justify, but the slaves at the bottom also had ideological arguments aimed at them, to justify their treatment. All civilizations had some kind of ranking, which could be an outright caste system, feudal lords with serfs, etc. Until industrialization, all civilizations were subject to famine, and the primary preoccupation of all peoples for all time until industrialization was getting enough food to eat, which is something that fat Westerners are not familiar with.
Although elites were always parasites on the body politic, serving little or no useful societal function, people came together in cities for the benefits that they provided. Cities are where the energy was concentrated. People could easily communicate and learn specialized skills that rural life could not make possible, and the hinterland was always subjugated to the benefit of the city. Many aspects of civilization, such as writing, could not have been developed and sustained in rural environments. The opportunity to become wealthy was primarily in cities, as the aspiring elites quickly discovered. All early writings were urban accounting, to tote up the elite haul:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=540992&viewfull=1#post540992
With changes in the economy came ideologists to justify it, usually so that they could find a place at the elite table, or at least eat their scraps. That dynamic is with us to the present day. What passes for economics today is obsessed with the exchange aspect of it, which is only meaningful in a world of scarcity. Because the focus is on exchange – who gets what – the focus is on exchange-related subjects such as money, banking, and taxes. All of that is really pretty meaningless and will not solve our problems in the slightest, mainly because it has nothing to do with the real economy.
When Europe began to rise and as England began to industrialize, levels of energy use previously unattainable were achieved, (wind in ocean-going sailing ships, whales, watermills, windmills, increased productivity with horse-drawn plows, etc.), and new ideologies took root. And like Court historians and elite accountants that tagged along and made the elite privileges seem as natural as the sunrise, ideologists began to erect the framework that justified the new economic regime, and capitalism was born, which succeeded mercantilism. As Michael Perelman made very clear in The Invention of Capitalism, capitalism was a highly coercive economic ideology, but the classical economists labored mightily and deceptively to make the new economic order seem another force of nature. In order to do that, they had to puff up the seemingly positive aspects of capitalism while actively covering up the highly negative and coercive aspects of it. When writing among themselves, the classical economists were frank about the nature of their enterprise, which was to put a happy face on a plunder system, and one of the chief mechanisms of coercion was the so-called free market. There has never been such a thing as a free market, but like nursery rhymes and bedtime tales, the early capitalists made the market an object of worship, and that religious conviction is with us today. People such as Ronald Reagan literally called the market “magical.”
The “market” is all about exchange, and the early classical economists knew that once the capitalists had seized the means of production, which was primarily fertile land in the early days of capitalism, then the “market” became a great coercive mechanism that could seemingly run on its own, and if it seemed like a pure mechanism, then making the case that it was some form of nature at work became easier. Also, the English were the first out of the gate with industrialization, and if they could establish their primacy with their weaponry and industrial capacity, then their ideology could become the new, dominant religion.
A fact of colonialism is that it made the colonized lands subject to the imperial headquarters, so the subjugated peoples had their economies redirected to serve the “crown.” This was universal for all peoples that the Europeans conquered, but England began its “free market” evangelizing as it got the upper hand, and what it did to India and China is the classic case. Bengal is the first place that Britain conquered in that region, it was probably the world’s richest region, and it was largely a textile center. The de-industrialization was severe in Bengal, with the British literally amputating the thumbs of Bengali weavers. Bengal quickly became the most starved and poorest part of the region, a status that continues to this day:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal
Then India’s textile industry moved to Britain, and the people of Bengal, and later India, were enslaved to produce plantation goods, such as tea, indigo, cotton, and the like, and the most notorious “product” was opium. The Chinese, like the Japanese, had successfully avoided European intrusion and conquest, but the British conquered the Chinese via “free trade” and it demanded the right to addict China to opium:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars
Once it broke through with its opium wars, and Indians were enslaved to grow opium, the subjugation of China began. Because Japan and China were able to resist the Europeans the longest, they have the largest economies of non-white people today. In Paul Bairoch’s Cities and Economic Development, he wrote of the British gunboat policing of China’s waterways, as keeping China conducive to “free trade.” He put “free trade” in quotes just like I did, meaning that there was nothing free about it. In the 1980s, the Reagan administration repeated the British strategy by forcing open several East Asian nations to American tobacco companies, again touting “free trade,” but only getting their “free trade” via open threats, if not the “free trade” invasion that the British inflicted on China:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#stat
On the USA’s West Coast I constantly encounter tobacco-addicted East Asian tourists, young ones who are casualties of Reagan’s “free trade” inflicting of a deadly addiction on women and children.
I discovered the hard way that there is nothing resembling a “free market” in the USA’s energy industry:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting
and I eventually discovered that it is a global phenomenon, and Godzilla is only capitalism taken to its logical extreme:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer
but the game, as always, is power, with economics merely a means to it. The reason why all the good stuff is kept under wraps:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to be responsible and keep powerful technologies out of the public’s "stupid" hands. Godzilla has many unwitting allies/dupes amongst the Level 5s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
but the only reason why Godzilla keeps the lid so tightly on the goodies, and FE technology is chief among them, is about maintaining his power, plain and simple. And so far, humanity is obliging him, and in the capitalist heartland, greed has literally been turned into a virtue:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed
So, the situation that we have today, where we have our toes over the brink of the abyss, is not like some new trend, but the logical conclusion of the trajectory that we have been on ever since our ancestors learned to control fire:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=538665&viewfull=1#post538665
As long as we get our energy by raping the environment and each other, our trajectory to self-extinction will continue. But if enough of us can muster some heart-centered sentience, we can help lead our benighted species from the edge of the abyss, and those who do the leading will be taking humanity toward this world:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
But if not enough of us can muster it, I don’t want to be here when it hits the wall. Whichever outcome is on its way, whether we hit the wall or get over the hump, will likely happen in my lifetime, at least for the trajectory to be set. It is quite a time to be alive. What will we do?
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

Hello to you Wade.
I was sitting here trying think of a meaningful welcome message to you but just wen't blank. So I shut my eye's to think harder and SIGH!
My mind just spread out and forward into a Deep Meditative Bliss for about an hour.
Thanks for that Wade it was unexpected.

Hi
This series of posts that I began in July will come to an end before long, perhaps this month. Then, it will be a several-month sabbatical from my day job. I will be getting a bunch of bucket list chores done, but writing that essay will be the big event. I will likely be fairly quiet while writing it, and will try for one post a week here while I am doing it. After I publish it, then we will see what is next.
This thread and the related ones comprised an experiment that I was not intending to perform before I got my essay written, but Bill made a troll-free forum, and it was close to what I was thinking of. What has taken place here have been baby steps toward what I intend to get going. It took time from my essay, but it was time well spent. Whether my strategy will work or not for what I have in mind, I will find out, but I am optimistic. Whether it fails or makes a dent, nothing like it has been attempted before, and I want to thank everybody who read and contributed to this and the related threads. 350K+ page views is a lot of reading. Also, “failure” in what I am doing should not mean wrecked and prematurely ended lives, but there will be hazards if what I intend begins to gather any steam. Angels fear to tread in this realm, and it is no place for gung-ho newbies. Dennis and I were two of the most gung-ho people in the field, and Dennis is still incredibly at it, playing Indiana Jones, while I am retired from playing spear carrier.
The members of the choir will have to go deep if this is going to work. Superficial, quick study will not get it done. People such as David have studied my work for years, and some of his stops on his globe-trotting had some of my work in mind, as he checked stuff out. Ilie has been doing his homework for the past two years, and he is singing. Sandy has been spending lifetimes learning to master her emotional energy. My work is new to them, but they brought plenty to the table. This subject matter is far more than any one person can digest in a lifetime, but the “collective intelligence” that Bucky wrote of is what the choir will be all about. My work should not be the last word, but more like the first.
More important than getting the choir going is doing my best to make sure that it does not go astray. I will try to shut down the choir before I let it become a vehicle for people to wreck their lives and the lives of others. I have lived through too much carnage already, and I don’t know that it ever did any good, other than to show me what definitely does not work in the FE milieu. I don’t need another disaster on my resume, and maybe some people need to be on the battlefield for a few minutes before they begin to sober up to the realities, but I am not trying to lure anybody onto that dying field. There are plenty of people trying out their FE strategies, and people need to go see them, if they just have to go “do something.” Godzilla’s agents will happily play Pied Piper for naïve newbies, sending them off into unproductive activities and dire fates. I have seen many at Avalon and elsewhere who are susceptible, and I feel a great deal of responsibility to help keep them out of trouble, and not get an effort going that will attract much trouble.
Even the people who did not understand what I am attempting, tried to disrupt it, kept hammering on the inventor of the hour, and so on, played their divine role, and I am always learning. I see where I need to raise my game, and I am getting even more particular on what I am planning to do.
Ilie was my first indicator that what I intended might have a chance, and people like Darren lurking, doing his homework, and trying to find his voice, is part of what I am looking for. I am going to use Darren as an example, if I may. He will likely not find anybody in his progressive community who is willing and able to reach Level 12, and Darren is not so sure that he himself is fit for the task. He has been cautious with his FE talk, and has seen how deeply-baked scarcity is, and about all that he has found has been an assortment of various flavors of denial, from the knee-jerk kind to the sophisticated denial that characterizes Level 3:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3
What all reactions below Level 12 have in common is that they are mired in scarcity. Some more obviously, some more subtly, but they all are. Moving from scarcity to abundance, even in one’s imagination, is something that almost nobody on Earth is willing or capable of doing today. They will only begin to understand abundance when it is shown to them, and the best way to show it is with FE. FE makes abundance possible. Nothing else comes close, and Godzilla understands this very well, hence the immense cover-ups of everything related to FE, including the ET presence.
How to demonstrate FE, however, is the hard part. Somebody like Darren, who may not have heard of FE before he encountered my work, or who first heard about it via the many other conspiratorial musings that dominate “alternative” forums, with most of it invalid, is still trying to get used to the idea of abundance. If he really begins to embrace the idea, one outcome is that in his daily life he will be utterly alone. Brian O said how lonely this journey is:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#lonely
and I know the feeling all too well. I am not trying to get something going where people tell their friends, family, and colleagues, the “good news” about FE. I can’t even do it in my life. If I can help the Darrens find their voice, help the Ilies on the path of their learning, help the Sandys think more scientifically and comprehensively, and so on, the choir will be on its way to forming. But my target audience is not the public via the mass media, via some “movement,” or by any one group existing today, as I have yet to see one with the right stuff. The target audience will be people from all walks of life who are interested in the truth, are interested in love, are interested in healing humanity and the planet. And it will be like finding needles in haystacks, but I believe that enough needles exist on the planet, and I am trying to take advantage of this new medium called the Internet to find them. There is no group on Earth today that is really all about love, abundance, and healing Earth and humanity. They are all trying to butter their bread somehow, in our world of scarcity. I am not looking for heroes, not ones that play at this level:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
or even a few below that. The talent and courage to sing the abundance song is all that I seek.
The choir may be able to help the heroes, and that could be seen as one of the choir’s goals, but I really hope that we don’t need heroes to save us from ourselves, partly because if we do, then we likely won’t get over the hump, or not the hump to abundance. It is time to claim our responsibility and sentience. If enough of us can learn the song and sing it, we may be able to make a dent, and even if we don’t, it beats watching TV. :)
I am trying to not just help FE move past humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression, but to initiate an awareness that can handle and maintain abundance. As I have stated, every child age six and older in this world:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
knows more about the human body and how to be healthy than anybody on the planet today. If they took our IQ tests, they would go off the scale. My comprehensive writings will be seen like cave drawings to their world, but will be seen as primitive perceptions and yearnings that eventually helped lead to the world that they live in. And maybe, just maybe, I will live there, too, in a future life.
Hi Sunny-side-up: I am not sure that I can take any credit for your experience, but I am glad you had it. :)

Hi:
By 1840, the American Indian was virtually extinct east of the Mississippi River. The passenger pigeon was also on its swift trajectory to extinction. The woodlands bison had been extinct for generations by that time, and the plains bison’s turn was coming. The USA soon stole Texas and most of what became the western USA from Mexico:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=656277&viewfull=1#post656277
I want to make clear that that was all primarily economic in nature, and also imperial. The USA had what is called a “territorial empire,” like the Mongol or Median empires:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire
The difference was that with the empires of the Old World, they generally did not exterminate the inhabitants, although the two greatest extermination campaigns of all time were performed by the Mongols and Hitler’s regime. Because the Mongols slaughtered about ten percent of the world’s population, people have made the case for all the benefits that the Mongol hordes produced, such as reforestation:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1350272/Genghis-Khan-killed-people-forests-grew-carbon-levels-dropped.html
The American experience was different in that they primarily wanted the land. The inhabitants did not have civilizations that could be enslaved and milked like a cow. The wealth was in “virgin” land that had not been deforested and put to the plow, and later, the coal, oil, and minerals that lied below it. So, when I hear stuff like the USA was “nation-building” or that it really did not get going with the imperial game until it conquered Hawaii:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hawaii
and stole the last imperial possessions of Spain:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hearst
that is not really an accurate reading of the events. The USA was engaging in a rather new form of imperialism, of annihilating the inhabitants and stealing their land, but it was still imperialistic. When the USA began conquering past the North American continent, then it was coming to the same table that Britain sat at, but it had been playing an imperial game for a long time before that.
Britain was also engaging in a new form of imperialism, a maritime empire that spanned the globe, which eventually boasted that the sun never set on it. As I have already discussed, industrialization allowed Britain to prevail over its rivals, and when the USA passed everybody up by a long way on the industrialization curve:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660425&viewfull=1#post660425
that led it to becoming the world’s leading imperial power by far. But as early American “nation-building” is never really discussed in terms like “empire-building,” today’s empire is similarly not called an empire, except in frank admissions once in a while:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651262&viewfull=1#post651262
Orwell’s lessons have been learned, and well. We don’t call ourselves an empire, but some kind of leader of freedom, with several hundred military bases scattered around the world, and we call it all “defense.” And whoever does not allow us to base our military there can be counted on to need a little “liberating” by our forces of light, with Yugoslavia:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#yugoslavian
Iraq:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
and Libya:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=659038&viewfull=1#post659038
receiving our loving bombs, and the “liberation” goes on, with Syria being a recent target:
http://www.zcommunications.org/beyond-chutzpah-by-edward-s-herman
as Iran has been, ever since they overthrew the dictator that we installed, and they have all of that oil that we covet:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran
Venezuela is never far from our attention, with their oil. Because Great Britain is the USA’s parent and the War of Independence was really not all that bloody, the imperial relations were always somewhat cordial, although the Brits burned Washington D.C. during the War of 1812, which the USA started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812
That war was little more than a sideshow for the Brits, who were busy fighting Napoleon’s France, but the ascent of American nationalism began after that war:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#patriot
to reach orgiastic dimensions by the end of that century:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag
While the USA was expanding, the European rivals were busy conquering the rest of the world. During the 1700s, it was mainly the Brits against the French, with the Brits getting India, Australia, and New Zealand, and taking most of France’s colonies from it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonial_empires#Colonial_conflict_with_Britain
The French got a second wind in the 1830s:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_colonial_empires#Second_French_colonial_empire_.281830-1960.29
and by the late 1850s it was conquering Southeast Asia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam#1887.E2.80.931940:_French_Vietnam
China was gang-raped by the imperial rivals, and the so-called Boxer Rebellion was novel in the multinational troops that went there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion#First_international_force
By the late 1800s, the only places of significance not conquered by the whites were Japan, Africa, and the Ottoman Empire. Japan was not finally conquered until the USA dropped atom bombs on them:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping
and the imperial rivals began fighting over the Ottoman lands with the Crimean War, where the first steamships and railroads were used in warfare:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=crimean#post624099
The Crimean War can be seen as the first industrialized war, with the USA not far behind in its Civil War. The “Eastern Question” over the Ottoman Empire’s fate dominated European “diplomacy” during the 19th century:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ottoman
and when it turned out that the Ottoman Empire was sitting on an ocean of oil, and the imperial powers were all adopting that highly superior fuel for transportation in particular:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653586&viewfull=1#post653586
the Ottoman Empire was quickly carved up by the imperial rivals after World War I, and they never really left, with the American/British invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan (and any other mercenary nations that want our scraps) just the latest energy wars inflicted on the region.
The late 1800s saw the imperial rivals carve up Africa, in an event now called the Scramble for Africa:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#scramble
Tiny Belgium even joined the game, launching a “humanitarian” genocide in the Congo, as the rubber boom took off with industrialization:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#congo
There was also a rubber boom in the Amazon which preceded the African boom, with the usual genocidal effects:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_boom#Effects_on_indigenous_population
Like India, Africa was soon laced with railroads, and like India and in stark contrast to Europe and the USA, the railroads were not centered around cities and between them, but were lines that led from the mines and plantations to ports, to be shipped to the imperial capitals. They were outright plunder routes. The rape of the Congo by Belgium began one of the first true humanitarian protests in the imperial heartland, as the nature of the “trade” between Belgium and the Congo became evident. All that Belgium “exported” to the Congo were men and weapons, and all that came back were blood-drenched “goods” for Europe, such as ivory and rubber. See King Leopold’s Ghost for more (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Leopold%27s_Ghost ). A European protest movement began in that era, centered in Britain, and the Brits kangarooed its leader into prison, etc., which is a familiar enough theme, but that the protests were centered in Britain had significance, I think. Some of the world’s richest people developed a conscience. Their protests were not exactly new on the imperial front, as Spanish priests protested the genocide in the Caribbean from its early days:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#montesinos
and there were even protests in colonial America toward the genocidal effects of Britain’s “trade” with India:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#tea
but the protest movement against Belgian imperialism in the Congo got the big names of literature involved, such as Mark Twain, Joseph Conrad, and Arthur Conan Doyle:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Reform_Association
It is argued that those protestors were usually protesting some other empire’s excesses, and there is merit to that argument, but it was not always the case. Twain was prominent in the American Anti-Imperialist League ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Anti-Imperialist_League), although his efforts are virtually unknown today:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#twain
The crimes of the industrial empires are long and sordid, but there was also significant resistance to the rape-and-plunder program, which was something new, and those early humanitarian impulses have matured into the protest movements that we see today, although they are largely impotent and victim-oriented, about how the imperial state is victimizing others. But I can write about my nation’s awesome crimes and nobody has come to cart me off to prison yet. But that is because almost nobody listens. Try to do some real economic activism, such as bring FE to market, and the response is a little different:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#raid
It is only activism that threatens to have a real economic impact that is taken out. Otherwise, the protestors are largely left alone, although journalists and peace activists in the USA have had a pretty rough ride in the USA since 9/11, as the imperial activities have gone into overdrive. The violent invasions and other activities of the USA since 9/11 are the sign of a declining empire, and the USA today is suffering from imperial overstretch, with its invasions of Hydrocarbon Country costing several trillion dollars:
http://www.ipsnews.net/2013/03/iraq-afghanistan-wars-will-cost-u-s-4-6-trillion-dollars-report/
as the USA’s standard of living continues to decline, which has taken a dramatic drop since the financial crisis of 2008. I read up on that disaster nearly every day. Millions of Americans have dropped out of the workforce:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/06/labor-force-participation-rate_n_3028135.html
More are getting free food than ever:
http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/04/pf/food_stamps_record_high/index.htm
as they live on the edge, and thousands of Americans literally live underground in scenes out of some nightmare:
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-tunnel-people-that-live-under-the-streets-of-america
But as Europe and the USA industrialized, it was noticed that the industrialization process was not entirely dependent on raping foreign peoples or even domestic ones. Economic advance was no longer the zero-sum-game that it used to be, at least as far as what people did to each other. The energy surplus provided by fossil fuels obviated the need to enslave entire nations, although it was still done for no other reason than the industrialized peoples could. The non-industrial peoples never had a chance.
In the 1800s, two newcomers came to the imperial table: Germany and Japan. They were late to the game, and did not have vast lands and peoples to plunder like the established powers did, and any analysis of what led to the World Wars that does not have that fact at its center is going to be deficient. The World Wars were wars of rights of plunder between the imperial powers, plain and simple. No other motivation withstands the slightest scrutiny, and the USA came out on top, with all of its rivals wrecked, due to the wars. Germany was literally carved into pieces by the victors, and Japan was rebuilt under the USA’s total control. In the controlled parts of Germany, the Soviets literally dismantled German factories and rebuilt them in the Soviet Union. Germany and Japan both starved in the war’s aftermath, with the victors executing their leaders after war crimes trials. Germany and Japan committed heinous atrocities, there is no doubt, but they were merely emulating their imperial “betters,” and the German attitude toward Eastern Europe, and Japan’s attitude toward China and the Pacific Asian rim, were simply retreads of America’s Manifest Destiny ideology:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660018&viewfull=1#post660018
Their crimes were doing it to their own races, when there were no distant races to inflict their imperial crimes on. The USA commits imperial crimes today that Hitler and Tojo could not dream of, sending military juggernauts to the far reaches of Earth, plundering foreign peoples at will, to steal what we want from them, killing millions on the process. We are trying to actively militarize space today:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#military
but the ETs are being disruptive, keeping us animals in our cage.
Germany's and Japan’s conquests were local in nature. The British and Americans attained truly global imperial status.
I have a busy day ahead of me, so we will see if I get another post done.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I am starting to get hit repeatedly, understandably, by people announcing Greer’s new movie:
http://www.sirius.neverendinglight.com/
as they ask me what I think. I would like to deal with it here, and direct my correspondents to this post. I have written about Greer’s odyssey more than once:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer
In the UFO community, Greer has been a lightning rod, both pro and con. His Congressional hearings in 1997 is the only one of its kind, and in my circles there is little doubt that the strange cancer cases that Greer, his assistant, and others in the Disclosure effort got right after the hearings and around them were no coincidence:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak
Playing the Washington D.C. game, where people are “merely” exposing corruption among the retail elites, is dangerous enough:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#casolaro
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wilcher
but when people go to Washington to try to blow the lid off of the biggest issues that humanity faces, then the big guns come out. That is partly why I turned down my invitation to the White House:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#crisis
I will likely never fully buy the “tenant” explanation for Mallove’s murder:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland
It spooked Brian O so much that he immediately moved to South America, where he spent the rest of his life. Brian’s life was shortened because of his “innocent” involvement in the UFO issue:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
Brian wrote the forward to Greer’s latest book:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#_edn24
and Greer gave blurbs to Brian’s books:
http://www.brianoleary.info/Synopsis.html
I consider Greer to be a casualty of the battle, in ways that may seem bizarre. By numerous accounts, Greer’s personality changed after his bout with cancer. He went from being relatively soft-spoken to going Über-warrior in his approach. I don’t know if that was because of using exotic technology on him, a strategic decision, his particular reaction to his meat-grinder experiences, or something else. I have seen people go through less than he did who were never the same, being crippled in mind and spirit. That Greer is still trying at all is amazing. But I have seen Greer have falling outs with former allies, and there is another “disclosure” effort happening, with Greer’s participation, although his bio is a little short :) :
http://www.citizenhearing.org/dr-steven-greer/
So he may not be as estranged from the UFO community as some think. I know three people who applied to be his personal assistant, and one did it for a short time, but Greer’s personality issues were generally too great for them to deal with. He and I have crossed paths many times, and I have heard all manner of scuttlebutt about him.
Using receipts from his movie to build an FE lab is one way to go about it, and his strategy and mine are not all that far apart, although he is really playing the Level 10 game (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level10), and I know that he has mixed feelings about it. His approach is very much like Dennis's.
He is not pursuing a phantom or promoting a myth. My friend got this show:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
well before the 1997 Disclosure hearings, and my friend does not even believe in UFOs. The FE and ET connection seems to be very real, and I have hopes for Greer’s efforts, although I am not going to be distracted from mine. If I get a choir going, it will create a safer environment for people like Greer, Brian, and Dennis to operate in. That is one of the goals that I have for the choir, but far from the only one.
I know that Greer has been trying to make this movie for about a decade, and this is his life’s work, and I can only respect it. Many in the FE and UFO fields do not like Greer, and in my brief encounter with him (he did not know who I was), he nearly barked orders at me within seconds.
I can only respect the journeys of people like Greer, Adam, Brian, and Dennis. If there were a hundred like them, we would already have FE, and defending Brian’s legacy, and probably Dennis’s before long, takes plenty of my “spare” time. When I see the pot shots come from the peanut gallery at Greer, I look to see what efforts in that field that those in the peanut gallery have made, and the answer is usually nothing at all. I have not seen anybody who has really played at the high, meat-grinder levels get on Greer’s case too much publicly, although I have heard plenty in private. Greer is human like all of us, and his suffering has been great at times, and it shows, as it does with all of us who survived the meat grinder. There were many years when I was not fit to engage the public, or even the quasi-public at Avalon.
I will stay tuned to how Greer’s efforts and those “disclosure” hearings go. They are likely the most important subjects on the planet today, and deserve widespread attention.
Best,
Wade

Hi Wade,
Thanks for writing your thoughts about "Sirius" and Dr. Greer. I am again surprised by by your balanced writing (although I should know better by this time :)).
As the date approaches I am getting more and more enthusiastic. I may set myself up for disappointment though. Most of the people I've told about this movie get stuck on the ET issue (dismissing it or being fascinated by it) totally missing Greer's note about "how did they get here?!" (tech wise).
Anyway, I am curios as to what impact will it have, now that Greer has Facebook and YouTube to spread his message, and how much will it be about energy and how much about the ETs.
Wade Frazier
15th April 2013, 15:00
Hi Ilie:
This entire milieu is filled with potential distractions, and if any of us got hung up on them, we would not have gotten anywhere. When I participated in the remote viewing experiences that initiated my mystical awakening:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown
the training had conditioning statements that those abilities were to only be used to assist humanity, but I later saw the man reading those statements abuse his abilities:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#silva
Early on, when you become exposed to the paranormal and other “weird stuff,” it can be seductive to get caught up in the spectacle, to try to use it for personal gain, and so on. There is no bigger issue on Earth than FE and the conjoined ET issue, and it can present immense challenges to our little egos. I wrestled with delusions of grandeur early in my FE days:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur
and I have seen others get swallowed up by them. Brian O admitted how his astronaut and politically-active days tended to inflate his ego:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#berth
I have seen Dennis and Greer both wrestle with the issue. Those are hazards of walking these paths, but a little meat-grinder action helps keep one humble. :) I have seen Greer keep trying to establish his credibility, when the seeker was past that. One reality of this milieu is that Dennis, Greer, Brian, Adam and others have been pilloried by the media, have constantly fielded pot shots from the peanut gallery, and have dealt with the derision of the masses, while Godzilla takes them very seriously, and has tried to take them all out at one time or another, usually repeatedly. The “battle” takes place with the masses entirely oblivious, as well as the “allies” of those FE heroes. That can lead to those moments of disgust with humanity that we have all had to deal with:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust
On this playing field, one of the bigger pitfalls is conspiracism. It can be a seductive yet toxic mindset that combines delusions of grandeur, paranoia, and titillation. Dennis is a conspiracist, for instance, but he has some reason for it, but conspiracism is a disease of the uninitiated and uneducated, IMO. If some ETs showed up at my house tomorrow, after a moment or two of surprise, I would probably ask them why they are at my home. Sitting and chatting with them would undoubtedly be interesting, but I would quickly want them to cut to the chase, and ask: “Are you here to help us turn the corner? We need help. If you aren’t here to help, I am not too interested in hanging out with you.”
What you are referring to, with people getting hung up on the ET angle, is a variation of people getting hung up in the early layers of the FE onion and never sniffing Level 12. Level 12 is about getting over the hump, not getting rich, becoming famous, and so on. Level 12 is about developing a mature, comprehensive perspective.
There are immense challenges with the path that Greer is taking. There are people in my circles that would have rather seen Dennis or Brian lead the effort instead of Greer, and I understand their sentiments, but this is about getting over the hump, and Greer has been trying. There is no monopoly on any of this. Anybody could have tried what Greer has been doing, or Dennis, or me. It is easy to sit in the peanut gallery and hurl opinions at them, but getting out of our easy chairs and doing something - that will always have my respect. Again, anybody interested in really doing something in the FE field has plenty of opportunities to do so, with Greer’s efforts being the latest on the scene, trying to scale the ramparts. Will he get the hot oil poured on him again? I don’t know, but I am standing way back. :)
It is very possible that somebody like Greer will get The Muppet Movie ending. He is on my short list of people that deserve it. But he is playing the Level 10 game, which is extremely perilous, and I know that his heart has not always been in it, and Dennis has had the same struggles. The masses will come for the spectacle, to take advantage, and so on. The bread-and-circuses mentality comes with Level 10, and I have strong doubts that it will work, but I am always ready to be pleasantly surprised. However, I will keep on with my Level 12 efforts, because if FE actually appears on the scene, the Level 12 mentality will be needed more than ever.
Dennis has played the game at a higher level than Greer has, or anybody else in the FE field, because he was putting disruptive energy technology on the market:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run
and that is when class really begins. The entire FE field suffers from arrested development, obsessing on the technology, with the scientists and tinkerers dominant. Greer understands a lot of that, but he is about to venture into new territory, and I wish him the best. His effort won’t be a Thrive, so there is reason for being optimistic, but the odds, as usual, are long.
Greer is hip enough and experienced enough to realize that the ET connection is part of the whole. To deny the ET connection, because the masses can’t get past that fact, would be playing the Level 10 game to a T, so Greer’s conjoining them is Level 12-ish, and is to be applauded. People who can’t handle the connection will “self-select” themselves out of the scene, and that is a good thing. Comprehensive perspectives are needed here, where the various facets are seen for what they are, and are all part of the whole. Getting hung up on any one aspect of it is a big reason why so many have failed.
Let’s say that Greer’s effort leads to Godzilla letting some of the goodies out of his Golden Hoard, and an FE device is on Oprah or Ellen next week. Most of the masses will be focused on stuff like:
1. The ET connection;
2. The “It defies the laws of physics!” connection;
3. The “Why has nobody done this before?” connection;
4. The “How can I get rich off of this?” connection;
5. The “This can blow the planet up!” connection;
6. The “We can beat the Chinese/Japanese/etc.!” connection;
7. The “Let’s string up whoever kept this suppressed!” connection;
and others that hail from those mentalities in the lower levels of the FE onion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1
While those circuses would go into high gear, what needs to happen, ASAP, would be for enough people to reach Level 12, where their primary concern is,” How we can put this to the highest and best use of humanity and Earth?” That would be something that a pre-existing Level 12 choir would be instrumental in initiating. :)
Whether it is Greer or another, whether FE happens this year or in a hundred, as humanity is at the brink of self-extinction, that Level 12 choir needs to exist, or something a lot like it, if we are going to turn the corner. I can see this discussion taking some time, and I don’t mind if those exchanges happen on this thread, but I am also trying to get to the end of the narrative that I began in July:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=518761&viewfull=1#post518761
which will be an outline of my upcoming essay.

Hi Wade,
Like Ilie, I read your thoughts about Greer and his tremendous efforts and found it balanced and unjudgmental. Why would anyone likes to judge him? some will say because he rubbed shoulders with government officials and as you mentioned on your essey on the FE activists, even higher than that. He is initiating his own profound projects as an individual with his name on it which are subject to scrutiny from some of the Alternative milieu and he claims that all Extraterrestrials have benevolent intentions towards earth (which is somewhat problematic ).
However, What Steven Greer has been going through is quite unbelievable for the fact that he still keeps on going, the fact that you have mentioned him, Brian's and Dennis'e name under the same breath, kinda makes one wonder what type of DNA those people have? :)
Their tireless pursuit for bringing the knowledge of FE out is more than admirable, it is in fact awe-inspiring, and your name can be added to the list of those tireless persuers that hold the vision of FE infront of their eyes at all time. Each and their own unique style.
Electromagnetic weapons can cause a noticable impact on people's behaviour when harassed with it. And it may cause a person to become more militant in their approach even if they are gentle at heart. Experiences of mind attacks, psychic attacks and other harassments of this type sometimes do not leave much choice and there comes the need to develop a thick skin and adopt some kind of a warrior approach.
Hi Ilie, the "Sirius" movie project is indeed very exciting, I guess the only thing left is to wait and see, and as you hinted it will be pretty interseting to find out how much attention was given to the ET'S and how much to the Free Energy part, although, they are both tide together by the hip as Wade always say. This (yet another) sreious attempt for disclosure from Greer can potentially bring very high waves, although, same thing was said on a couple of other disclosure attempts in the past (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jUU4Z8QdHI )
How high the waves will hit? who knows, but it is the only time I think that we are willing to pray for a tsunami

Sorry, didn't see Wade's post above before I pressed the send button, I assume Wade's response can also be suitable for my post.

Hi Limor:
I don’t know anybody in this field that thinks that the ETs are 100% benevolent. I doubt that Greer has said this, and I have watched him deny it when people said that he was making the case for 100% benevolent “space brothers.” What he has said is that if the ETs here had malevolent intention toward humanity, it would take them about five minutes to exterminate our species, and that our military’s attacks on them are the height of stupidity. What he and others I have interacted with have stated is that the baddies are not in charge of the operation, but they still can play their games. There are struggles that happen, and I even heard of the “goodies” taking out a “baddie” after he/she/it attacked somebody (and I talked with that “somebody”). Greer also has said that many seeming ET abductions are actually carried out by humans, and “false flag” operations have been planned. It does not take long in the milieu before you see quite a few different viewpoints on the situation, and I would be wary of “insiders” telling us what it is all about. There is lots of disinfo out there, too.
My understanding is that the ETs are of primarily benevolent or neutral intent, but we also need to learn to paddle our own canoes. The space brothers are not going to save us from ourselves, although there is at least a karmic connection and maybe even genetic, so they have reasons beyond mere curiosity for being here. Even terms like “ETs” are problematic, with “inter-dimensionals” probably also describing aspects of the situation. Creation is a big place, and all I know for sure is that our perspective here on Earth is pretty stunted. Whatever the “real” case is, following the Golden Rule and acting from the heart is always the best policy, IMO.
In very real ways, Godzilla and the masses are playing a game, and because I am here, I guess that I am playing too, in my own way. The masses have almost 100% abdicated responsibility for their existences, playing the victim game, and Godzilla lusts for power and gladly takes responsibility for our entire species. If we lay it down, he is more than happy to pick it up. And then Godzilla screws us over with our own power that we gave away as we played the victim game. And that might be the entire point of this dance – to learn to take back our responsibility. But I think that it can only be done with love, because that is how creators operate. Victims operate in fear. Again, if this was something that the Creator dreamed up one boring day in eternity, she and I will have to have a little talk. But if this is a way to regain my original state after some kind of “fall” (or leaving the Tao, etc.), then it makes sense, but I want my memories back! :)
And not just the memories of other lifetimes, but the memory of why I even decided to play this incarnation game. Many NDE experiencers say that those kinds of memories are available on the other side, but when they return to physical reality, they are not allowed to take that knowledge with them. It is for our own good, or so I hear.
On my role in the FE milieu, I am only a spear carrier who got tired of the blood and guts and saw the futility of it all, or, one could say, I saw the awesome cost of the approach and decided to pursue a different one. One thing is true of Greer, Dennis, Brian, Adam, and me: if you had told us what lied ahead of us as we began our journeys, we would not have believed you. And even if we had some faint idea of what was in store for us, the reality was something far beyond our imaginings. I never lusted for the battlefield, although I nearly had my rite of passage in the military myself:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business
but I can relate to how 18-year-old boys who pray to see “action” in the military get sobered up quickly by ten minutes on a hot battlefield, and then they want to go home ASAP, get the million-dollar wound, etc. We all got far more than we bargained for, in our FE journeys. Watching Dennis take off his prison garb and go right back at it harder than ever was awe-inspiring to witness, and more than a little mind-boggling.
I am trying to find out if we can get there without battles, heroes, villains, and the like. I am trying out the lamb’s route. That may be a recipe for lamb chops ( :) ), but I think that enough lambs can overcome Godzilla and the other predators, and they won’t have to die, either, but can become vegetarians.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
The economic/social/political changes in the various stages of the human political-economy are easy to spot. From social organization like chimpanzees (which is still with us), to the relatively egalitarian but very violent hunter-gatherer phase, to subsistence agriculture (where people had poorer diets, but the land could support more people), to the development of cities (where professions developed, elites and slaves appeared, and women’s status declined), the dynamics are obvious. At the very beginnings of the development of cities, city-states developed, and they usually competed with each other over readily-depleted resources.
In Sumer, it was wars over forests:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554340&viewfull=1#post554340
and territory, and controllable soils, water, and people were common themes in all early civilizations. The hunter-gatherer phase was proportionally more violent, but the population density that agriculture provided allowed for organized violence on scales not possible before, and the first known battles came from the first cities:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagash#Conflict_with_Umma
Ironically, history’s most recent wars, this time an invasion over the primary energy resource of our time, oil (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292 ), were perpetrated on the very same soil where the first battles were recorded. More than four thousand years later, the very same lands are slaked with blood as people fight over energy resources, with the stronger taking it from the weaker.
It is legitimate to wonder if we really have evolved much since our chimpanzee days:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=552272&viewfull=1#post552272
But as energy became more plentiful, or more accurately, as we were able to plunder more of it, civilizations changed dramatically, and civilization never changed more dramatically than in the past two centuries of industrialization. Slavery stopped making economic sense, breeding farm hands and pension plans stopped making economic sense, and slaves and women were liberated during the Industrial Revolution. It was always primarily about the energy surplus and always will be:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
More than a hundred years ago, as the USA completed its theft of temperate North America, it began to engage in a variation of imperialism now called neocolonialism:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#neocolonialism
where the subject peoples got to fly meaningless flags as the symbol of their “independence,” while the American overlords controlled the economy. That has been the American model ever since. After World War II, as the European powers lost their empires, the subject peoples generally had one goal: industrialize as fast as possible. The benefits of industrialization were obvious, and while the capitalist propaganda machine has always misrepresented the real threat that communism posed, the attraction of the Soviet system to the world’s “developing” nations was that the Soviet Union said that a nation could industrialize in a generation. Of course, the Soviet methods were brutal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1927%E2%80%931953)#Industrialization_in_practice
But their goal was to catch up to the West (like Japan’s goal in the late 1800s), and as the colonial world was “liberated” at the end of World War II, their goal was industrializing as fast as possible.
Court historian Arthur Schlesinger said it this way, about the “battles” between capitalism and communism in the mid-twentieth century:
“Meanwhile, the Soviet Union hovers in the wings, flourishing large development loans and presenting itself as the model for achieving modernization in a single generation."
http://www.chomsky.info/articles/199711--.htm
The problem, however, is energy. Industrialization is not possible without great amounts of energy, and fossil fuels have provided nearly all of it for the entire period of the Industrial Revolution. In 2008, hydrocarbon energy provided 81% of humanity’s measured energy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_resources_and_consumption#Primary_energy
In the USA, for instance, the number is 86% hydrocarbon energy, about 6% each for nuclear and hydroelectric energy, with alternative energy about 1%. The rest of the industrialized world is in a similar range. Oil will always be the most coveted hydrocarbon, being highly superior to coal and gas, and that explains everything that the West has been doing in the Middle East for the past hundred years. The USA came to oil imperialism a little late because it had such great oil deposits of its own, with it still producing more than half of the world’s oil in 1950:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660425&viewfull=1#post660425
But it became evident early on that the big prize was the Middle East, and the USA played the neocolonial game there soon after World War II when it overthrew the Iranian government on behalf of British Petroleum:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran
The British-American partnership in raping that part of the world for its oil has been a firm one ever since, with the Americans being the dominant partner early on, with the Brits today little more than toadies who carry our bags. Tony Blair’s antics on the eve of the invasion of Iraq comprise one of history’s more embarrassing imperial spectacles. What a puppet. That “summit” on the eve of Iraq’s invasion:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bush,_Barroso,_Blair,_Aznar_at_Azores.jpg
(http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20030314&slug=webiraqsummit14 ), in the only place in the world that would host it, will go down in history alongside the Third Reich’s conferences. From the Bush family’s open support of the Third Reich:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#bush1
to Aznar’s fascist credentials:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Aznar#Politician
it was quite a nauseating spectacle to see them hold a “summit” in the middle of the Atlantic before invading Iraq, when no place else on Earth would give them even a fig leaf of legitimacy. But as long as the cheap oil rolls in, Americans don’t mind. Yesterday’s bombing of the Boston Marathon:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Boston_Marathon_bombing
is just more noise of empire. Of course, if this is one more example of “asymmetrical” warfare by peoples who cannot withstand our imperial juggernaut, it will once again be labeled “terrorism.” Within an hour or so, there were reports of a “Saudi” being in custody:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57579736/authorities-question-saudi-national-in-boston-attack/
Saudis were blamed for 9/11, being the majority of the “hijackers,” although we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq over it. I seem to see a pattern here. :)
Heinberg has been calling this imperial era “Plan War,”
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#_edn7
as Peak Oil is reached and the world’s nations fight over the dwindling hydrocarbons. The EROI has fallen from over a hundred, when Americans were mining East Texas oil:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624651&highlight=eroi#post624651
to under twenty today, with ten coming with a few years, with stuff like mining Canada’s tar sands, fracking, etc., getting EROIs of less than five. So-called biofuels have always been an insane “solution,” with an EROI of about one, and even less than one in some measures. I probably need to spend some more posts on the simple mechanics of energy production, preservation, and consumption. The historical trends are obvious, but what is not so obvious to most is what it all rides on. The human journey has always ridden on its EROI and surplus. In agriculture, it is called productivity and yield, but the physical reality is the same: how much human effort goes into extracting how much energy from the environment. That is the story of the human journey. Everything else is a sideshow.
Time to run off to work.
Best,
Wade

If there's anything I've learned from living in a community it is that 'It takes many minds to come up with a good solution'.
Personally I think the main message of Wade's narrative is; Hey folks, Based on my knowledge and experience, this is the playing field as I see it. How can we all get up to speed, on the same page, get on board and open up this playing field? Who understands that we need to create the fertile ground that will allow free energy to take root, the heart, wisdom and integrity to be able to nourish those fragile seeds, the love and attention that's needed to see those seeds to fruition?
Personally I think Wade has already planted those seeds and I'm honored to be among one of those who is being attentive to it's needs, nurturing it slowly and lovingly, into the magnificence that it will surely become.
I just watched the documentary " Searching for Sugar Man", which I can't recommend enough. It was truely inspiring. There are heros among us, unsung and unnoticed. Watch it and you will see how it relates to this thread.

Hi Darren (AKA Kudzy):
I am putting that movie on my “to watch” list. Thanks.
Yes, you have the gist of it. The heavy lift is actually getting on the same page, and it needs to be a page that is each person’s page. When Dennis would be riding high for a few moments before he was swatted down, there was a seeming unity of purpose (making a business opportunity come to fruition), but it would get quickly torn apart as everybody tried to “get theirs,” even as Godzilla’s foot was grinding the operation into dust. There are so many ways to go astray on this issue, and I found that people flew off in all sorts of directions, none of them productive, for two primary reasons:
1. Their heart was not in the right place;
2. They did not see the big picture.
Our hearts are either in the right place or they aren't. We all grow and learn in our lifetimes, but our personalities are formed by age two or so, and we don’t come in as blank slates. If a person’s heart is not a loving one when he/she comes in or soon thereafter, he/she is not going to develop it all that much in a lifetime. The needles that I am looking for already have their hearts in the right place, and it is by far the most important criterion. Now, FE and abundance is a wild card that can change a lot of things, and drastically, and it will be easier for people to get in touch with their hearts in a world of abundance, but at this stage, the fearful masses are no help for what I am trying out.
The second one, I think, can be cured in a lifetime, but it takes hard work. As I have stated repeatedly, in order for people to really begin to understand my message, they usually have to have had some kind of radicalizing experience that broke them out of their societal conditioning, or at least made them question it. And that, believe it or not, is the most important aspect of being able to see the big picture: it means leaving aside the picture that the social managers have painted for us, as it is designed to control us.
That radicalized perspective can then get pointed at all areas of our indoctrination, and it took me many years to understand that what I was seeing, in all areas, was a paradigm of scarcity, and until people could leave that paradigm behind, they really could not glimpse abundance.
That big picture perspective is what I call comprehensive, and as I think I am making clear in my writings, it crosses many disciplinary boundaries. I know that it is not easy to really grasp that big picture, even for those willing and able. This is not easy stuff by any means.
Those are the basics as I see them, and as you point out, and I agree, that if enough people can get on that same page, then we can all bring our particular talents to the project. If I may wax Michael-ish, I am an Artisan soul:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading
which means that I am an idea guy. This work of mine is likely the result of many lifetimes on this journey, and I am finally getting to the point where I can do this kind of work. Because of overleaves and the like:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#overleaves
it is not always easy to divine somebody’s soul role, but I will hazard a guess and say that Sandy is a Server or Priestess. Brian O was probably a Sage. Dennis is probably a Warrior or King, as Greer probably also is. When everybody can bring their talents to the table, in full flower, then we will be getting somewhere. A bunch of Artisans, or a bunch of Warriors, or a bunch of Kings, cannot get this job done. It will take all of us to get over that hump.
I am tired from a long day at the office, so going to bed now.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I am going to cut to the chase a little here, and address an issue that so many are fearful of, which is how the world’s poor are going to react to FE. The Level 5s react to FE as if it would be the worst thing ever:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
Are they reacting to memories of Atlantis? Do they think that China would conquer the world with FE, do they fear the world’s poor nations invading the rich ones with FE, do they fear that FE will mean that everybody is going to strip-mine the planet so they can “get theirs,” do they fear that everybody will have an FE weapon on their hip and it will be one big shootout? Or, do they fear that they will lose their carefully carved niche in a world of scarcity? My experience has been that the last one is really what people have feared, the part where it is all about, “What’s in it for me?” And because I live in the West, it has always been relatively comfortable Westerners fearing that the world’s poor cannot handle abundance. IMO, that is elitist thinking of the worst kind, and has the charm of projecting scarcity onto a situation of abundance. That is partly why I do not take many Level 5 fears seriously, because they are trapped in scarcity. With FE, it would quickly become evident that the Level 5 fears really are knee-jerk reactions, not carefully thought out ones, and it is time to explore part of that territory.
For starters, how did the world’s poor become poor? It is tempting to say that they have always been poor, that all pre-industrial civilizations have been primarily poor, and so this is just more of the same, but that is not really accurate. Virtually none of the world’s poor lived in some sort of isolated vacuum where their poverty is entirely of their making. The case can be made for a few places, such as the New Guinea Highlands, but it is only a few places. Europe conquered the entire planet, and their reign has not been benevolent. Basically, every economy in the world was impacted by the rise of Europe. Where the indigenous peoples were living on temperate lands that the Europeans found attractive, they were slaughtered and/or dispossessed, and European-style civilizations were erected on their graves. North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are “settler” states, where the Europeans came and stayed, wiping out or pushing out the indigenous people. What we see happening in Israel today is a modern variation of that theme, with its “reservations” for the dispossessed Palestinians, while the invaders get all the good land and resources, etc. All settler states have their mythology that paints a picture of the “settlers” carving their nations out of some kind of unpeopled wilderness. It is a big bunch of conscience-soothing lies, and the cultural managers are only too happy to churn out the myths, and the invaders are only too happy to consume them. So, all settler states have the dispossessed eking out existences on the margins, if any are left at all. Places such as Tasmania were completely shorn of their indigenous populations, as the Bahamas also were, and many islands in the Caribbean were:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#note
In the Old World, the peoples there were not susceptible to the diseases that Europeans brought with them, and/or they had exploitable sedentary populations that could be enslaved, and so were brought to heel and enslaved, to one degree or another. India was the classic case. Spain would have done something similar to the natives of Mesoamerica and the Andes, but they killed them off due to overwork, disease, and starvation after they conquered them. And the few survivors were all enslaved into plantation and mining activities. The Portuguese did the same thing to the Amazonian natives, and after a couple of generations had killed off their slave supply, then boatloads of captured Africans came over to work the sugar plantations, so Europe could get their cheap highs. When the English began to invade North America, they began to dispossess the natives of New England, as they began to reproduce English-style colonies in the rich lands. In Virginia, once they exterminated the Indians, they brought in those captured Africans to grow another addictive substance, tobacco:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english
and the contrast between the land-grabbing New Englanders, reproducing the English political-economy, and the Virginians, becoming slave-owning plantation aristocrats, is what led to the Civil War two more than two centuries later.
In places such as India, it was de-industrialized to turn all the people into plantation slaves:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660765&viewfull=1#post660765
The point of the above is that the indigenous economies were all turned upside down by the Europeans, if the indigenous peoples even survived. The dynamics of that era are still very much with us, and are part and parcel of the problem with the world’s poor today. Their economic development was purposefully prevented by Europe, and with what we see in places such as Libya and Iraq today, it is still happening and worse:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=661499&viewfull=1#post661499
Libya and Iraq had the highest standard of living in their regions (built on oil exports) before the Westerners began to work their magic. Both nations are complete wrecks, with Libya going down the tubes amazingly quickly after NATO’s “liberation.” Iraq will not recover in a hundred years from what we have done to them, as we have turned the nation into a big oil pump, but if we can successfully prevent them from getting back on the industrialization curve, they will be in no position to begin to dictate terms in the extraction of all of their oil. As was the plan from the beginning, Iraq’s oil has been effectively privatized:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading
and the Iraqi people are not going to benefit much, although the Kurds may seem to be getting a “good deal” right now, but we have sold them out before, and won’t hesitate to do it again when they become expendable:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kurds
In short, no peoples on Earth have been free of the malign economic influence of Europe and its descendants. Even today, virtually all of the world’s poorest nations export food to the USA, and here is where understanding some of the political-economic dynamics will be helpful, and can help people see where the advent of FE does not have to be the fear-orgy that Level 5s engage in. The single greatest thing that the West can do for the world’s poor is to leave them alone, but our hooks are in deeply, as we milk the world’s nations to the benefit of the global capital class. The population explosion that we have seen in the so-called Third World had several interacting dynamics. One is the relationship between the cities and countryside. The hinterland has always been subjugated by the city, as the city is where the concentrated wealth and power was. Because of the conquest and subjugation by Europe, the rich overlords got all the best land and engaged in plantation work. The indigenous people were enslaved, to one degree or another, but even with the “freedom” of liberation, the plantation interests still had the good land, while the “freed” peasants had to try farming the hillsides. When nations such as Guatemala tried to nationalize the plantation lands of the big multinationals, we overthrew their governments and installed dictatorships:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#guatemala
All across the so-called Third World, elites, usually installed or supported due to their role in the European-dominated economies, or the descendants of the white invaders themselves, have all the good land, which is used for raising crops for export to the West. The peasants, like peasants everywhere, like big families, as it gives them ready-made ranch hands and pension plans, but the lands cannot support that situation, so the youth are driven/attracted to move to cities for a better life. Western medicine, primarily sanitation and antibiotics, along with a more consistent food supply (that is coming soon in this post) has drastically-reduced the infant mortality rate, and one of the reasons for large families was high infant mortality. So Western medicine and agriculture began the explosion:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition
and the West’s mechanized farming is actually feeding those Third World cities. About 60% of the Third World’s caloric intake is from grain. The world’s poor nations have all become dependent on grain from the West. In brief, the dynamic has been turning the subject nations into plantations to serve the West, and all the good land was put into production for export to the Western economies – cotton, tea, sugar, coffee, cocoa, bananas, etc., while the peasants worked the marginal land, and their offspring migrated to the cities, where they are being fed by grain imports from the “breadbasket” nations of the USA, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and Europe, at least while the fossil fuels, water, and soils last. In 1985, grain imports provided nearly half of the calories of the Third World’s urban population (see Bairoch’s Cities and Economic Development, p. 463), and the numbers have only gotten worse since then, with all of Asia quickly becoming dependent on grain imports:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#grain
It took about a century after death rates went down in the West, after improvements in food security and sanitation in the industrial era, for the birth rates to decline. The Third World is already having its demographic transition, with the global birth rate dropping by more than half in my lifetime:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_rate#Parameter_characteristics
The worst off is Africa, mainly because it has been suffering under slavery, conquest, genocide, and exploitation for about a thousand years, and it continues, with the overthrow of Gaddafi the latest attack by the West, to keep Africa in a state of slavery:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=659038&highlight=Gaddafi#post659038
The greatest first step toward helping the world’s poor is for the West to stop screwing them over at every opportunity. But that would only be step one. If enough of us can grow up and help make FE happen, the first thing we should do is begin to repair the damage of five hundred years of the white man’s evil reign. The biggest killers of children in the Third World are polluted air and water, and starvation. With FE, those all become the easiest problems to solve, but it would only be the beginning:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#short
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
and it is not about the West becoming the world’s hero, paternalistically dictating a new economy to humanity, but providing true assistance. Keeping FE from becoming weaponized would not be a big deal, technically. Again, weaponizing FE is not Godzilla’s fear, or strip-mining the planet, but humanity becoming truly free. One asteroid, easily mined with FE and antigravity and related technologies, and there will never be mining on Earth again, and even if there was, it could be done with about zero environmental impact with FE.
The Third World would have a steep learning curve, but that would be the fun part. Joe Average in the West will also have his life turned upside down, but in a good way. The people who only see another population explosion, or strip mining the planet, or a big FE war, are projecting the dynamics of scarcity onto a situation of abundance. I don’t know how to demonstrate how inaccurate such fears are, but let me try to think of an example…
OK, I’ll go back to my first interview with Scott.
http://www.spectrumradionetwork.com/Archive/wade-frazier-scaling-the-ramparts-of-the-free-energy-paradigm.html
Near the end of it, an Avalon member gave an example of being trapped in the assumptions of the world they lived in. A poll of New Yorkers at the turn of the twentieth century were asked what the big problems in New York would be in a hundred years, and the number one answer was what the mountains of horse manure would pose. That is a pretty good example of how people project the assumptions of their current world onto the future. The move from scarcity to abundance would dwarf those kinds of mis-projections into the future.
Could we blow up Earth with FE? Maybe if we are really stupider, collectively, than a band of chimpanzees, but we have had nuclear weapons for longer than I have been alive, and we are all still here. Most of the stupidity that I see in my fellow Americans is a learned and even desired stupidity, as they protect their niches of hell:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/
And most of that mindlessness would vanish when there was no more “need” for it.
I am not saying that there is no potential downside to FE, but the upside is Heaven on Earth. Isn’t it at least worth thinking about? The human journey is heading toward the brick wall at about Mach 1 right now, and the so-called environmentalists are calling for a level of sentience that is far beyond the one needed for a successful FE transition. Shared austerity will never work, as Bucky observed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#austerity
Who wants to sign up for Heinberg’s self-extermination program?
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
In light of FE technology, which Heinberg is well aware of but avoids like the plague, as the environmentalists do, what a diseased mindset they have, and totally unworkable. Again, that attitude seems to hail from the self-flagellating Calvinist mindset:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646730&highlight=calvinist#post646730
but it is just another variation of an addiction to scarcity, IMO:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation
As I have stated from the beginning, I am looking for those needles who can lay aside their scarcity-based conditioning long enough so that they can just imagine abundance. The more accomplished will learn to sing the song, too, and it will reach some other needles who have been yearning to hear that song for their entire lives.
Time for work.

Hi:
I’ll start with another note from the Empire. I saw this yesterday:
http://news.yahoo.com/ieds-come-home-boston-looked-veterans-135929898.html
On one hand, it was refreshing to see veterans getting angry at how the media circus cranks up for events such as the Boston Marathon bombing. It was also interesting to see their fear that if a foreign national did it, then the politicians would use it as an excuse to invade another nation. But the focus was imperial, in that it was almost all about American soldier casualties, not casualties of the people in the nations we invade on a whim. I guess the “good news” is that it looks like white guys did it, so we won’t be invading another nation over this. And how crazy does that sound? Invading a nation because somebody committed a crime? But so it is, in the Empire, where crimes by individuals, both real and imagined, become grounds for invasions and genocide. We have been doing it for a long time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#affront
Back to the industrialization curve. Although Britain had the 50-80 year lead over all other nations after it began to industrialize, when the USA won its independence, it began to catch up fast. Britain, like all imperial powers, forbade many industries in its colonies, to benefit the imperial heartland, and it was little different for its American colonies. In 1750, Britain was about 2.5 times more industrialized per capita than the American colonies, but it was about the same level as France. By 1800, Britain gained a big lead over France, which was stagnant, but the USA caught up to France by then. By 1830, the USA had passed up France, and only trailed Britain, at a little over half of Britain’s per capita industrialization. But Britain’s industrialization began to really gallop along in the mid-1800s, and by 1860, although the USA had a 50% increase in industrialization since 1830, Britain became three times as industrialized by then.
Then the USA had its first industrial war, its Civil War. Warfare has always been a great engine of innovation, and the Civil War saw the North grind down the South in a war of attrition, with its industrial capacity far greater than the South's. The Civil War was really little different than the American Revolution or other colonial revolts, where local elites rebelled, seeking to establish themselves as the new masters. Monarchical France and Britain were sympathetic to South, with its aristocratic leaders, although slavery by that time was very anachronistic. The North was the fast-rising industrial rival of the European powers, and those powers would have been happy to see the USA destroy itself. But the North prevailed. Russia supported the North, not at all out of idealistic motives. The imperial upstart Russians had recently concluded the Crimean War with France and Britain, as they fought over the declining Ottoman Empire, in the first industrialized war, with railroads, steamships, and the telegraph seeing their first use in warfare:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_war
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Taganrog#First_phase
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=crimean#post624099
as well as industrial military tactics such as trench warfare. Modern nursing also came from that war:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale
Soon after the Civil War was concluded, the French and Germans had a merry little war:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War
It became evident that warfare between industrialized nations increased the levels of carnage by orders of magnitude. The Russians and Germans were coming late to the imperial table, and conflicts with France and Britain were inevitable, as they already “owned” so much of the world. The USA really began its steep ascent of industrialization after the Civil War. Between 1877 and 1900 was the USA’s Gilded Age:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_age
and the industrial empires of the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Vanderbilts, Morgans, and other robber barons were built in those days. Europe had its own “golden age” known as the Belle Époque:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_%C3%89poque
which lasted from the Franco-Prussian War until World War I. In 1890, the last Indian resistance ended with the massacre at Wounded Knee:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wounded
and the American frontier was officially gone. Those days are the heady days of science, when scientists believed that they had it all figured out, or had all the tools to find out:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#heisenberg
Science became the new religion in the 1800s. Just this morning, I was reading Hawking once again campaigning against the idea of a Creator:
http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/04/18/Stephen-Hawking-Big-Bang-didnt-need-God/2081366294355/
For a man confined to a wheelchair for most of his life, I would have thought that he could have maybe even desired to have an out-of-body experience, and then his materialist conceits would be shaken to their foundation. But like his buddy Carl Sagan (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#skeptic ), it looks like he will embrace his religion to the end, while denying that it is a religion.
How can such “smart” people miss the boat so badly? At least Hawking realizes that humanity is quickly destroying its nest on Earth, but his “let's flee” “solution” hails right from Godzilla’s playbook. What diseased ways of thinking. Hawking holds atheistic court at Cal Tech, while Brian O was temporarily erased there:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#erased
I see those kinds of situations almost daily, and because I am so close to them, I sometimes have to work to stand back and appreciate the mind-boggling irony of them.
As the USA galloped along, putting down those rebel upstarts with extreme prejudice, building a railway all the way across the continent:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Transcontinental_Railroad
and stealing the Panama Canal Zone a generation later:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#panama
it began to look like a proper empire. During that proto-imperial heyday, with the rise of science and industry, along came Nikola Tesla, who is responsible for the electrification of the USA, although when he began to make FE noise, Morgan pulled the rug out from underneath him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#tesla
However, for all of the technology suppression by the robber barons, which became a science in the twentieth century, the introduction of electricity was the innovation that made it possible to decouple the place where energy was generated from where it was used. No longer did the mill need to be at the waterwheel, nor did the factory have to be connected to the steam engine, but power plants could be located in the hinterland, and it could “pipe” its power to the city and factory. This was a huge boon, and was highly instrumental in creating today’s industrial civilization.
But it was invented in the era of industrial capitalism, with its monopolies. Power had to be centralized, literally. Tesla’s idea of each person producing their own energy was the robber baron’s worst nightmare. Godzilla’s antics are only a maturation of those early robber baron activities, and, really, is only a successor to elite machinations that go back to the dawn of civilization.
American industrialization per capita more than tripled between 1860 and 1900, and the USA overtook Britain as the world’s industrial powerhouse by World War I. But the USA really had not fought its industrial rivals much, and its military was nothing compared to Europe's, which had been fighting each other for so long. Slaughtering Indians and stealing half of Mexico were not exactly great military feats. In 1900, Russia, France, Britain, and Germany had combined military personnel of three million men, while the USA had less than 100K (see Kennedy’s The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, p. 203). In 1914, the British Navy was three times the size of the USA’s. Britain’s imperial decline began with World War I (although its industrial output had been relatively stagnant for a generation), to lose its empire after World War II, as the USA took imperial center stage. The financial capital of the world became Wall Street. At the end of World War II, the USA’s industrial capacity was as much as the rest of the world put together. Humanity had never seen anything like it, and the post-war era was dominated by the USA, as it rode history’s biggest economic bubble, which led to my relatively idyllic childhood.
Time for work.

Wade

It's not only worth thinking about, it's worth deeply pondering about, visualizing about, creating the reality in thought form, ... and singing about.

p.s. You are one hell of a history professor, but then, how many history professors have integrity and speak truth?
Wade Frazier
19th April 2013, 05:07
Hi Dennis:
Professional history professors and I have had an interesting relationship over the years. My early writings were not so much a history lesson as a history anti-lesson. I gored plenty of establishment oxen, and I remember one history professor (American, naturally :) ) in particular really hating my work, calling it “propaganda.” My early historical writings were more about exposing what I was taught as history as a bunch of lies:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more
than it was a quest for a “real” history. One history professor said that if I had been a professionally-trained historian, I would have written like so many liberal historians, and my work would have lost what made it unique.
If not for my adventures:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm
I would not have questioned my indoctrination as I did. When the dust finally settled in Ventura, all I really knew was that whatever I was taught about how the world worked was likely false. My site as of 2002 was more of an exercise of, “This is how the world definitely does not work.” I was dismantling the myths of my indoctrination more than anything else. Around the same time that I published my war essay (I did almost all of the work on it in the summer of 1999):
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm
another amateur published a book very similar to my essay:
http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Private-Power-Hidden-History/dp/188712845X
and we both marveled over how similar our writings on that subject were. Dismantling the myths aside, I really wanted to know how things worked, and I suppose that that has been my quest for nearly my entire life. As I have studied the subjects that this thread has been covering since July, I came to appreciate the historian’s ideal, which is to retain a sense of contingency. Events did not have to turn out how they did, and what can we learn from the events of the past, to make the good parts of today’s world better and to heal the bad parts? Ideally, an understanding of how things worked will help us understand how they may have always worked, or the ways in which how they used to work differs from how they do today, or how they might tomorrow. In all likelihood, gravity works the same way today as it did a billion years ago, even though we were not there to experience it, and it will work the same way a billion years from now. Our relationship to gravity has changed, as has our understanding of it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but gravity itself has not. So, I have plenty of respect for the process of history and science as disciplines, but both have been captured by vested interests. This is a problem in all disciplines, particularly in a world of scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#conflict
I am not going to have much time in the morning for a post, but to continue this morning’s post a little, electricity allowed the separation of the source and use of energy in a way that was not previously possible. Trains also greatly expanded the hinterland that could feed urban areas. A big downside of that was people losing sight of how their world ran. With power plants sitting in the hinterland, people tended to lose sight of where their energy came from. It did not come from a switch in a wall. Similarly, city dwellers lost sight of where their food came from. It reached levels in my lifetime where American children literally thought that hamburgers grew in The Hamburger Patch:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonliebigstuff/3277733365/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburglar#Characters
This kind of separation between production and consumption is partly what allows Americans to be oblivious of the realities behind their oil and other cheap imports:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress
and in a world of scarcity, quite frankly, they don’t want to know. Blood-drenched goods traveling across the oceans to Europe began with Columbus, but back then the cargo was humans often enough. All of that gold and silver rolling into Spain in the 1500s was bought with the genocide of the natives:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest
and it even bankrupted Spain:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#bankrupt
and helped lead to its decline, so finding much benefit for anybody in the 1500s is not an easy task.
Time for bed.
Best,
Wade

"This kind of separation between production and consumption is partly what allows Americans to be oblivious of the realities behind their oil and other cheap imports"
I had a difficult time understanding this in the past.
I was raised in a rural area. I knew that electric power comes from the coal power plant, because my parents worked there, but everything else came from what you may call "the farm around the house", and it was very obvious to me the huge amount of energy we had to put in to it!
Later on, I moved to the "big city" to continue my education, and it always amazed me how fascinated "the city people" would be with my farming stories :). They were nothing short of "western movies" for them. "You touched a cow!? Whaa.. you're a brave one!". And in my mind I was like: "What?! What's so brave about touching a cow... they're the most gentle animals I know of..."
Event though this was happening, I did not understand why and to what extent? Until one day, I read a blog post from a "city man", criticizing the "butcher" story of killing the pig at Christmas time (Romanian custom), instead of going to the super market and buying the pork products that you would normally eat at that time. He called us (the rural folk) barbarians :becky: Only then it dawned on me how much disconnected "the city people" are from the real world! This is happening Romania, and we are not so "developed" as US is today, so I can only imagine the kind of world model the "city children" in US have

Hi Ilie:
Now that you have revealed a little more of your background, I can see more of where your keen perception comes from, although you likely think that most of it is just common sense. Being raised on a farm and moving to the city is a big help in thinking comprehensively. Dennis, Mr. Professor, and Mr. Mentor were all raised on farms, Dennis literally being a migrant farm worker, back when white people still did that in the USA:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis
You got to see the beginnings of the energy process that fed the cities, although it really began with the sun hundreds of millions of years ago, which was locked in that coal and eventually mined and released in the power plant. But on the farm, you knew that sunlight, water, minerals, and other nutrients were needed to make things grow, and it may have been obvious to you where all of that stuff came from and the energy it took to make it all available, but I have heard American farmers still be oblivious to the role that energy plays in the modern farm.
I read an American farmer once react to my work, where he did not understand abundance at all, and said that the only wealth he ever saw all came from the sweat of his brow. How blind. An American farmer is kind of like the prow of a ship, riding on a huge wave of energy-driven technology, but if the figurehead on the prow can only see what is directly ahead of her/him, it is easy to get the idea that you are the ship and it is all your doing. :) It would be like Neil Armstrong thinking that he made it to the moon all by himself. He realized that he was only the sharp end of the spear. He did not make the spear and he did not throw it, but he rode on the end of it.
An American farmer is riding on the backs of hundreds of energy slaves. And humans don’t do much of the work, but the crops do! :) Capturing sunlight and combining it with water and nutrients to make living flesh is the magic of a farm, not the man hoeing the field and harvesting the crop. And in the USA, as hard as a farmer may work, his energy expenditure is less than one percent of the energy being spent to till the soil, water the crops, harvest them, and take them to market.
In The Omnivore’s Dilemma,
http://www.amazon.com/The-Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History/dp/1594200823
Michael Pollan tried to take the journey from soil to dinner table for the American meal, and he also tried to make a meal from wild ingredients, even hunting and dressing his own pig. He covered most of the territory, but he was not allowed to watch the cow that he bought being slaughtered (and he certainly did not raise it), and the wet mill, where corn is turned into the many products that it is today, would also not let him see how it is done. So, when part of the process is secret, so secret that a best-selling author is not allowed to witness it, it sure makes it hard for “modern” people to see the big picture.
That level of idiocy, where people slaughtering their own meat are called barbarians, while the “civilized” people buy their meat shrink-wrapped, is part and parcel of the FE conundrum.
In this world:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
every child knows how the energy chain works, from sunlight to their stomachs, and they know where FE comes from and how it works. They can also see it all, from start to finish, and I am sure are taught it by age three. There are no mountains of food being shipped across the world to their dinner tables, but it is all grown locally, and in a world like that, climate and other limitations do not exist. With FE, it can be the same way on this planet, and very soon. Of course, in that world, with love reigning, animals are not killed by humans for food or any other reason. They would see eating animals as the height of barbarity, and it might even be incomprehensible in that world. Our carnivorous ways are directly related to our murderous ways:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#murderous
In fact, it may be impossible to become a true Level 12 and be a meat eater, but we will see. At some level, a meat eater condones killing, and it is not much of a leap to move into the coercive mindset that wants to “get” Godzilla and be subject to those other Young Warrior delusions:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors
On a “terrorist” note, I just saw this, within hours after one of those idiot kids got killed in a shootout:
http://news.yahoo.com/russias-caucasus-breeding-ground-terror-113721792.html
I would not think that we will invade a white nation in the “war on terror,” but we invaded Yugoslavia to “liberate” Kosovo:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#yugoslavian
so we will see what shakes out. Since it was a breakaway province, I could see the Russians and Americans having a joint “war on terror” there. Shudder…
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

20th April 2013, 14:33
Hey Wade,
Just to address your question to me a few posts back......
When you have a moment, reflect on those posts that you made. Could you have made them three years ago?
The answer to that is a resounding no. I joined this forum 2 years and 2 months ago and that was only after spending 8 months reading your website. 3 years ago was around the first time I had ever heard the words ‘free energy’ before. When I watched O’ Leary speaking about FE for the first time I knew it was a huge deal but remained skeptical about it all. If this stuff was real, then how come i’d never heard a mention of it before in the media or ever before just in passing? What about the "laws" of physics? Where were the working FE powered prototypes demonstrating the working technology? Two of the things that ran through my mind when hearing O’Leary speak and reading his book for the first time were that this guy is a either a deluded nut-job, or, he is simply way ahead in his understanding of the game. A deeper dig on the subject matters brought me to your website, and after reading that I concluded that you were either both a pair of deluded nut-jobs :) , or were both way ahead in your understanding of the game, in which case I had better start playing catch up.
Watching countless hours worth of interviews on the ‘Energy From the Vacuum’ series (http://energyfromthevacuum.com/DVDListforpurchase.htm) from the likes of Bearden, Johnson, Bedini etc, and seeing working proof of concept over-unity prototypes in action satisfied me that technology wasn’t the problem, and I’m sure that’s a point Greer plans on making very clear in his upcoming movie. Re-reading chunks of your website and following your links on this thread along with listening to interviews from O’ Leary, Trombly and yourself, helped me to better understand the conundrum and why the land lies the way it currently does. Having studied 4 years of Biology at university I already had a good grasp of how energy runs the show from a biological perspective, but I never deeply considered the role of energy in economic terms. Ilie’s thread and your energy narrative opened my mind to the full extent that energy rules our earthly lives and helped me to see the impact FE would have if it was allowed to surface into the public domain.
I then read other literature containing evidence supporting the limits of orthodox science that covered areas such as psychic phenomenon (remote viewing etc), quantum physics, alternative biology (experiments such as this one from Kervran - http://www.cheniere.org/books/aids/ch5.htm ), the placebo effect, psychology and the biology of belief, medical miracles, accounts of near death experiences, out of body experiences and lucid dreams (both of which I experience regularly), and any evidence I could find supporting consciousness existing beyond the physical body including those gained from my own personal experiences. I also did a deep dive on nutrition and alternative medical treatments and my findings supported the content of your 'Medical Racket' essay:
http://http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm
As a scientist you look at all the available evidence (or as much as possible; the more the merrier) before reaching the most probable conclusion, and if it means that you have to branch off into other disciplines such as economics, history, engineering or whatever to source further evidence then so be it. You can’t just use bias to cherry pick the stuff that best serves your interests/ego. Looking impartially at all the evidence that I have encountered, it’s impossible for me to conclude that all we are is a bunch of cells, amino acids, molecules, atoms etc, and that consciousness is merely an accidental byproduct of a bunch of atoms coming together randomly. The more I think about it the more i’m convinced that consciousness creates what we call ‘matter’.
In the pursuit of answers to the shortcomings of science you are eventually confronted with matters of a spiritual nature. I was fortunate enough to have a mystical awakening when I was 21 so it didn’t really take all that much to get me back on track. ‘The Nature of Personal Reality’ by Jane Roberts, ‘Bringers of the Dawn’ by Barbara Marciniak and a dozen plus readings of Wade’s ‘A Spiritual Perspective’ essay sufficed for me and helped me to tie the whole thing together in a way that has me back in a state of childlike wonder and awe.
I write the above to confirm from my experience what Wade has said previously about there being no shortcut when it comes to understanding the FE conundrum. It isn’t for quick study artists. You simply have to put the hours in and do your homework. I don’t have all the answers but having more information and a much better understanding of why this world is the way it is, has left me feeling a hell of a lot more at ease (sane? :) ) than I was 3 years ago.
The part I don’t get about Greer’s effort is the plan to build a FE lab part. Didn’t Adam Trombly have a multi million dollar lab set up a few years back which was effectively shut down by the powers that be? I imagine Greer is aware of this so what makes him think his planned FE lab will have anything other than a similar fate?
Travelling around India is no picnic knowing what can be with FE and seeing what is. I’m currently in the capital of Ghandi’s home state and it's one of the most polluted cities on the planet. The smog is ridiculous with there being an insane amount of vehicles running on diesel and kerosene and everywhere you look there is extreme poverty staring you in the face. It’s interesting to read what you write above about Level 12’s and meat eating. Any of the ‘sacred’ or ‘holy’ towns and cities i’ve visited in India have only vegetarian food on offer and I have often noticed that the western folk I meet who I would consider to be the most sentient are non-meat eaters. I was a big meat eater up until relatively recently when I started studying nutrition and got a better understanding of where my food was coming from, what I was sponsoring by eating it, and what it was exactly that I was putting in my body. When I really thought about it, I could no longer see the difference between eating beef, pork, chicken etc and the idea of consuming human flesh. Eating animals is ultimately just a cousin to cannibalism. Nowadays I’m having a hard enough time with my conscience eating plants. I can easily imagine living in a world where FE is considered sacred/divine and humanity no longer eats meat. I suspect way on down the line we will ultimately learn how to ween ourselves off all food like the select few humans who have gotten the hang of inedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia
Anyway, good luck with finishing that essay and enjoy your well deserved time of work Wade.

Hi:
Just last week, a few days before the Marathon bombing, a friend wrote this to me:
How can American citizens ever become peaceful in nature when their government is one of the most violent governments in all history?
When can American citizens ever become honest in their dealings with one another while their government continues to be one of the most dishonest and fraudulent in all history, especially in regards to counterfeiting its own currency?
When will American citizens ever be able to stop molesting and abusing their children when their government continues to molest and abuse vulnerable people all over the world for fraudulent reasons?
And the same question can be asked about 20 or 30 other areas of life that decay and destroy society, morals, ethics, civilization, health, the environment, etc.
When will American citizens ever be able to stop thinking and acting like criminals as long as their government is almost totally criminal?
It is government-centric, and the primary “quarterback” for our insanity is private interests, as Godzilla is a private entity, only using government for its ends when necessary. So on that score it does not aim high enough, but government is the face that Americans see, so I understand the sentiment.
Watching the Boston Marathon drama play out this week brought up many thoughts and emotions for me. I have several pals who have run in the Boston Marathon. Brian O did in his youth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O%27Leary#Personal
When I lived in Boston with Dennis:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing
it was only a few miles from where that second bomber was caught. In my new office, in about the nicest business district in the USA, where I can run into the world’s richest man:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates
co-workers near our reception area make half-jokes about their escape route if a gunman comes into our office (likely a former employee) with guns blazing. I actually have had to think about my escape route. Just in the past year, one cousin and one friend had to stay indoors because there was a gunman on the loose, one in Seattle:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Seattle_cafe_shooting_spree
and one in the mountains of California:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner
I have written where a close relative and I turned on the TV one night in the mid-1990s, to see a shooter in the middle of a spree, where my relative had to help console the co-workers of those killed in the spree the next morning:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=599559&highlight=postal#post599559
There was a recent murder in a nightclub that I walked by almost daily.

Less than a year ago, a “survivalist” killed his family and then killed himself in his bunker that he built on a mountain that I regularly hike at:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/survivalist-suspected-of-killing-wife-and-daughter-dies-in-mountain-hideout/story-e6frg6so-1226341829258
http://abcnews.go.com/US/peter-keller-police-find-body-bunker-believed-alleged/story?id=16233994#.UXKirGzn81w
I have written that when I worked in that medical lab, one of our employees was killed in a drive-by shooting one day:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406935&highlight=drive-by#post406935
and several years ago, one of my co-workers, whose office was literally next to mine, was shot one day as he rode his bike home from work. A car drove right up to him and some idiot gang-bangers shot him. It is uncommon enough here, at least so far, that his shooting made the news, and after a few days in the hospital, he rode his bike to work his first day back, as if his shooting was nothing.
My nation is batsh*t crazy, and all during the Marathon drama, the flags were being waved over and over (see this, for example http://news.yahoo.com/lightbox/suspects-identified-in-boston-bombing-slideshow/people-wave-u-flags-while-cheering-police-drive-photo-024444535.html). What the hell does that have to do with anything? Perhaps the most telling part of the entire ordeal was when the suspects were identified as ethnic Chechens (who actually never lived in Chechnya), the president of Chechnya immediately tried to deflect blame back onto the USA:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2311664/Chechen-President-blames-AMERICA-Boston-bomb-suspects-acts-evil-immoral-upbringing.html
probably to help prevent “war on terror” activities there, although the American media is already proclaiming Russia as the new terror central:

Orwell’s 1984 is more timely than ever:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell
But as I was saying regarding that recent elementary school shooting:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=599358&highlight=buried#post599358
it just gets quickly buried by the next shootings, and I have to admit, I readily lose track of them these days. Did that elementary school shooting happen this year or last year? I really have to think about it.
And within hours of the Marathon bombings, my email in-basket began to get filled up with conspiracist material. The conspiracist angle on this stuff is as sick as the rest of it. It is almost like there is a conspiracist template out there, where the latest shooting, bombing, what have you, gets quickly shoehorned into the “false flag” paradigm, and the “evidence” is twisted this way and that to conform to the agenda, and then it gets dispersed far and wide. You don’t need conspiracism to explain what we are seeing and, crazily, the first thing that the gun nuts do is buy more guns with each shooting and bombing. The USA has a “Wild West” fantasy that is deeply embedded, as epitomized by the Western movie. There is almost nothing about the cowboy movie view of the “Wild West” that is accurate. The so-called cowboy era only lasted for about twenty-five years in the 1800s, but the fantasies about it are alive and well today.
This insanity and childish fascination with weaponry is all part of the FE conundrum, and my nation is so far gone on the mental scale that I virtually never try to reach out to my fellow Americans on the FE issue, and as can be seen on this thread, few posters are Americans. I only hope that they don’t interfere with my efforts any more than they already have, and the biggest interferers have usually been friends and family.
Just before I posted this, I saw David’s latest response, so here goes…
David, you are one of the reasons why I have done my work over the past 25 years. When I can spur somebody like you out of your easy chair and go check things out, then it is mission accomplished for me. And when you and CdnSirian check in with tales of people fighting over cow pies in India, it adds to my store of knowledge. Fighting over cow pies is no surprise, knowing the energy situation there, but I did not know the extent of it. And yes, FE can make all of it go away, almost overnight. To deny FE because of fear of unpredictable outcomes is not thinking very far, but is projecting fears of scarcity onto a situation of abundance. Enough of us need to get over the hump on the mental/emotional scale so that we can help FE manifest in the public domain, and then the rest of humanity will begin to understand. They really are not reachable by anything less.
On Greer’s efforts, heck, I was standing there as they carted off our equipment:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#raid
so I am all-too-familiar with the hazards of making an FE lab. Trombly’s lab was actually built by his partner, the partner who began to attack Adam after Thrive came out:
http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/Correcting-the-Record-Adam-Trombly-Thrive-and-the-Homopolar-Generator_printer.shtml
which is an altercation that I have the connections to get to the bottom of, and I may one day. I have been invited to meet Trombly and Farnsworth, but I really don’t have anything to do with the FE field anymore, and don’t really want to. I am doing something different.
But regarding Greer’s attempt, as I have stated plenty of times on this thread, the only chance that the FE inventor route has is for the inventor with the goods giving it to a worthy group, and that group can try to develop it, but it is an industrial task, not one for garage tinkering. I have never seen the inventor with the goods willing to give it away, and I have never seen that worthy group. I’ll likely keep half an eye on Greer’s lab efforts, and I will say this: the only chance that a lab like that has is complete transparency. If it tries to operate in secret, tries to patent its goodies, tries to go the capitalist route, it does not stand a prayer. I think that Greer is hip enough to understand that, but we will see. I know many in the FE and related fields who doubt that Greer has the right stuff to lead an effort like that, and maybe they are right, but I don’t see many others even trying, so I’ll try to keep my observations to myself, even though the route that Greer seems to be trying is not exactly new. The crowd-funding aspect is in the right direction. Again, his combination of public education and going for a lab is definitely one of the paths with promise, but the problem, as usual, will be the public’s level of support and the threat that Greer’s allies will pose, not really what Godzilla and his lackeys in government do, although they are a danger, too. Because Greer has already been gnawed on by Godzilla and barely survived the experience, even if his personality seems to have changed after the attacks:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=661576&highlight=personality#post661576
I am interested to see how this latest effort pans out. Basically, I am going for the education route, first, and taking people deeply, before anything like an FE lab is made. I would need at least a thousand like Ilie and David before I even dreamed of trying that route. I have serious doubts that Greer’s effort has enough people in it with the right stuff, who have made the paradigm shift from scarcity to abundance in their hearts and minds, and can stand tall for what they are about to attempt. I saw how easily Level 10 efforts were to defeat, repeatedly, and while Greer’s efforts have the whiff of Level 12 to them at times, I also see plenty of Level 10-ness to them. So, while I wish Greer the best, I am taking a different approach, which we might call The Sentient Lamb Approach. :)

Hi:
I am between chores. Already, we are seeing attacks on Islamic people, as usual, and in an attempt to get ahead of the upcoming flipside of all of that flag waving, people are asking that we don’t go kill more Muslims because of this:
http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-04-19/ntrarian-view-taking-out-muslim-terroristsno-we-shouldnt-kill-everyone-partic
http://notesfromthetrailblog.com/?p=391
We already got stampeded into killing several million innocent people:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
but when the flags go up, the brain shuts down. We will see how it plays out.
On David’s comment on vegetarianism, it is part of the awakening curve. When people begin to awaken and become sensitive to others, renouncing violence is one of the early steps. Fast behind it is thinking about the ways that we are harming Earth’s denizens, and the question soon arises if we really need to kill animals to sustain ourselves. I know the answer is no, especially with all the goodies in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard.
Heck, both times when I became a vegetarian, it was not about lessening the suffering of my fellow creatures:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#reason
But in the aftermath of my first stint with Dennis, the ethical/spiritual reason trumped the health reasons, and I passed the point-of-no-return in the 1980s. My adult journey killed my racist and bigoted redneck upbringing, as well as my indoctrination that becoming a killer was part of growing up (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), and becoming a vegetarian was just part of the path.
When I became embroiled in the vegetarian controversy, what made me the angriest about the anti-vegetarian crusaders was them portraying all vegetarians as PETA fanatics:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#fanatic
The adolescent PETA attitude can be found in most “causes,” I am sorry to say. I guess that adolescents can be activists, too, but the adolescent attitude can do more harm than good.
You can see the gradual awakening of even somebody like Richard Bach in his books. In his pre-Seagull books, he was a happy flyboy for the USA’s military, waving his flag. In his later books, he admitted that his love of flying was used by the war machine. Bach also has the enlightened point of view that his youthful self was fine, living in its own integrity, and growing up was part of the process of living. In his later books, after he gave up his flag-saluting “patriotism,” he became a vegetarian.
Mohandas Gandhi said that “moral” vegetarianism was the only worthwhile version to practice:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#gandhi
and I’ll agree. Becoming a vegetarian is just a “hazard” of waking up. :)
Time for chores.

Hi:
In the wake of the biggest “terrorist” event in the USA since 9/11, this is probably a good time to explore the possibly violent aspect of FE. I am far too familiar with the dynamics that lead to the kinds of activities that we saw in the past week in the USA. I have mentioned plenty about that redneck aspect of my upbringing. Not only was I subject to redneck racism and bigotry while I was being raised, and it took a few years to put it behind me, but I was also close to that redneck side of my family while growing up.
Almost to a person, their lives were disasters, especially the men. Almost all of the redneck-relative men in my generation spent time in prison or should have. I remember being around some of them when they were less than ten years old, and wondering what kind of people they would grow up to be, and armed robbery and other crimes were in their futures. One close relative actually joined the Ku Klux Klan and a domestic “terrorist” organization, and while the FBI was looking for him, he came to stay with me. One close relative murdered his infant son, and will likely not live to see this side of the bars again. And I am just skimming the highlights of the lives of my redneck relatives. One was beaten to death over his drug-dealing. I could go on and on. I am actually at some risk of one of more of my homeless redneck relatives showing up at my home, wanting to be taken in. If I did, it would put my life’s work at risk. I don’t need weak links like that in my life, especially as I am about to take the stage with my effort. Even the relatives in my life are often loose cannons that cause me a plenty of grief.
And it is far from just me, with this kind of situation. Dennis was raised as a migrant farmworker, in the same redneck culture. Those Jeff Foxworthy clichés are unfortunately true:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Foxworthy
Dennis, Mr. Professor, and I are/were very high-functioning individuals in a sea of dysfunction. I have stated plenty that I work in hi-tech, and everybody I ever worked for became rich or was already. And when I heard some of their life’s stories, it was often similar, where they were the high-functioning exception in their families. Maybe they had a parent that encouraged it, but it usually did not “take” with their siblings, and they have all manner of would-be parasite relative who would like to get their hooks into them. And it is not just that the high-functioners are smarter than the others. Some of my F***-up relatives are nearly as smart, or even smarter, than I am. They just can’t get it together, usually because of their egocentric delusions. They are probably “younger” souls.
The lottery is a poor tax, and most American lottery winners piss it all away within a few years, not only to their parasite friends and relatives, but they live like nouveau riche for a few years until it is all gone. Basically, if people did not really earn it, they rarely can manage it. The epitome of this might be NBA players, black players from the projects more often than not, it seems, and most of them piss their money away very quickly, even going bankrupt before their careers are over.
But when you really look at all of their crazy reactions to money and other dysfunctional behavior, it is a reaction to poverty. It may seem strange to have that discussion in history’s richest and most powerful nation, but we have always had a pronounced class system, although it is never polite to admit it. During the post-war boom, many of those people escaped the hollers and ghettos, and I know many of them in my life. But for every one that escaped, more are mired in their socio-economic roots, unable to rise above their early conditioning.
So, it is easy to look at people today, and what those men/boys did in Boston (let’s assume for the moment that it was not a false-flag operation, although nothing would surprise me in this milieu), and think that with FE, it would quickly become one big shootout, or everybody would quickly strip mine the planet, to “get theirs.” Is humanity really that stupid, collectively? People like Heinberg think so, but then he turns around and asks that we reach levels of sentience that are far, far beyond the sentience needed to handle abundance:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
When Greer has made the case for FE technology and what it could do, one of the most common reactions is that we would quickly wipe ourselves out in some kind of global shootout. His reply is that the worst elements of humanity already possess FE technology:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#divine
so their fears seem to be overblown. But I advocate a global peacekeeping force staffed with women, preferably grandmothers, during the transition period:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=628165&viewfull=1#post628165
The bottom line is that geo-political boundaries are a manifestation of ape-territoriality, and have always been an energy-scarcity dynamic. Controlling lands and peoples is all about scarcity, and with economic abundance, it will quickly vanish. As I keep saying, many things that we assume about today’s world will vanish with FE and abundance. Cities will become obsolete. Geo-political boundaries will disappear. There will no longer be nations. They will no longer make sense, just like chattel slavery no longer makes sense. As I stated recently, even race will go away, and not just racism, but race itself:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy&p=656124&viewfull=1#post656124
That won’t happen in my lifetime, but it is an inevitable outcome of a humanity that is no longer constrained by energy scarcity, gravity, material limitations, and the like. The races are like varieties of dogs, roses, or other species. Domesticated varieties are due to conscious breeding by humans, while natural varieties and sub-species are due to geographic isolation. Geographic isolation for peoples will come to an end. And when people get fearful when pondering this, the question becomes why? When I see people explore it rationally, it always comes down to their adaptations to scarcity. They take pride in their ethnicity, race, or what have you, and that is always a reaction to scarcity, with them often being on the receiving end of discrimination (or they are the “winning” race or ethnic group), which is always economic at its root. If you ever think deeply about these issues, it becomes very clear how scarcity defines our existences, in both obvious and subtle ways.
When everybody lives in abundance, stuff like “terrorism” will simply make no sense, because nobody is oppressed. As I have stated repeatedly, the hitch that I have seen with FE in people’s minds is not so much the “laws of physics” objection, or the “we will strip mine the planet” or “we will have a big shoot out ” fears, but people not being sure where their place would be in a world of abundance. And that is fear talking. Again, those grandmothers will be in position to easily find and take away FE devices that have been weaponized, and if the boys just cannot play nice, then they will be sequestered from civilization, but it won’t be anything like prison, but a place of healing and education.
Try to imagine a “terrorist” in this world:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
I am not saying that there won’t be some transitional problems, but the human journey has been all about solving our problems, but up until now, they have all been pursued under an umbrella of energy scarcity, even in the good ol’ USA. Solving our problems when we have energy abundance will look like nothing that we have ever seen before, and it could be one heck of a lot of fun, and it would not take much experience with what comes with FE for everybody to wonder what there is to be afraid of.
But, again, the vast majority is mired in scarcity-based thinking, and they are not going to begin to wake up to the idea of abundance until they can see it in action. And for those who think that is unworkable, they are not familiar with history. People did not have to be trained to begin to understand what industrialization meant; it just happened. Until they had the experience of it, they could not imagine it, but once its reality came to pass, people adapted to it. My grandfather was raised in a sod hut, and before his career ended, his nation had landed men on the moon, and his son helped make it happen:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary
My grandfather did not pine for the good old days when he lived in a sod hut:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas
He was very happy that those days were in his rear-view mirror. The changes that would come with FE would dwarf that kind of change, but people will be able to handle it. I have that much “faith” in us. But the masses will not lead that change. A few heroes have tried:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
but there are not enough of them to overcome humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression. While the “choir” that I am trying to form may seem totally useless, when compared to warriors like Dennis and Greer, playing the Indiana Jones game, it is vitally needed and perhaps the biggest missing piece that I saw during my FE days.
I have been at this for nearly forty years, and doubt that I will ever be “done” in this lifetime, but I know how beneficial such a choir could be. But the hard work is learning the abundance song and learning to sing it in harmony. The hard work is now. Many can’t see that, but trust me on this. Once I get a nucleus built, the rest will come easier, but I am going to be very particular in these early days. It is about quality and hitting the notes, not about quantity.
Stay tuned.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
OK, a little on money and banking. As I wrote earlier, Athens had the first monetized economy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=581232&viewfull=1#post581232
Money is exalted today in “modern” circles as some great invention. Money is only accounting, and accounting goes back to the beginnings of civilization. Similar to how city people tend to lose track of where their food/energy/materials comes from, they tend to focus on money, thinking that that is where economic activity comes from. I see this all the time, where people think that the economy is money and Wall Street, when it is only accounting. Money is not real. In early civilizations, when money was food, such as ears of maize or cocoa beans in Mesoamerica, the money actually had some intrinsic value.
Money has not had any intrinsic value for a long time. When the Europeans and Americans were obsessed with gold and silver, there was no intrinsic value in those metals. Even today, only about 10% of gold is used in industry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Consumption
Silver’s industrial use is about 30%:
http://tradingstocks.me/industrial-uses-for-silver-in-new-products-up-18-percent/
But back before the industrial era, there were almost no practical uses for those metals, as they are too soft. And in an example of how advancing technology can change materials use, the advent of digital photography is making film photography disappear, which was a large use of silver in industry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver#Photography_and_electronics
Even Hollywood is moving away from film, with increasing digital recordings:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cinematography
Film will go the way of the dinosaur in my lifetime.
When money was based on gold and silver, it only led to gold and silver rushes, and genocidal ones:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest
Today, money is increasingly not even paper, but electronic impulses. There is a school of thought today that wants economies to go back to gold and silver standards, because then the currency is hard to manipulate. Today, we see money being printed with abandon by the industrial economies, with interest rates being held at zero. It is an accounting game, to favor one group over another, such as the banks over the depositors.
There is a huge amount of conspiratorial literature on the creation of the Federal Reserve and how the various interests - Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, etc. - got ahold of the world economy by controlling banking. I will not deny that there are shenanigans happening at those levels of the game, and banking is one of the global cartels that Rappoport cites:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#rappoport
but TPTB control the world by controlling the energy industry, far more than anything else. Money is far down the food chain. It is not even the tail on the dog, but the hair on the tail. The egocentric economy worships money. The real economy only sees money as an exchange mechanism, although Godzilla also uses it as a control mechanism, such as all of that quiet money:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff
a chunk of which would have been mine if Dennis and I were in it for the money:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer
The bottom line is that money is not real, and there is nothing about it that will solve our problems. In fact, the quickest way that people identify themselves as not having the right stuff to go after FE is when they start talking about how they are going to make money at it. In our so-called modern economies, virtually all economic exchange has money as part of it, but having money is no guarantee of anything in this field. Godzilla can make the money in your bank account disappear overnight if he needs to. Money gives people a false sense of security, and it is absolutely useless, as far as mounting an FE effort. Money only buys somebody’s effort, and if people need to be paid to be involved, they quickly go chasing after the highest bidder:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3
and Godzilla has the deepest pockets of all.
I have never asked for money for my work and never will, and my readers do not need to spend any money to obtain my work and study it. A huge advantage of the Internet is the low-cost way of distributing information, which I am taking full advantage of, and plan to use exclusively as I try out my choir idea. Nobody will have to pay to consume it.
In a world of abundance, money becomes meaningless:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek
and that is what the choir will be focusing on, not how to get its hands on a bunch of money. If the time comes to actually go build an FE device, the effort will be non-profit and completely transparent. No secret bank accounts, no secret labs, no anonymity, and so on (which is why I won’t be allowing anonymous members of the choir – the secrecy attitude is antithetical to making it happen). It will all happen in the light of day, but until the awareness is raised high enough, with enough attention by people with the right stuff who know what’s up, an effort like that does not stand a prayer. Godzilla hides in the shadows, such is how the dark side operates. A movement of the light will not operate that way.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

The real economy only sees money as an exchange mechanism
In my view, money, debt, energy and control are linked at their hips.
Individuals, companies and governments are persuaded to borrow money in order to live higher up on "energy life style" curve than their present income or savings support. They are selling their future cash flows, in essence. But Godzilla controls those cash flows. Once the debt is piled high enough, they curtail the lending, crashing the economy, leading to foreclosures, defaults and bankruptcies, which lead to Godzilla picking up control of the property, future productivity and first born of the debtor.
Real energy is physical and limited - if my car's gas tank is empty, it doesn't run, period. Money is virtual energy which Godzilla can easily create and destroy, without limit, in order to separate us from the fruits of our labor past (foreclosures and repossessions), present (taxes, rent and interest) and future (when you can't make your debt payments because Godzilla suffocated you income stream.)
Money, and the other side of the fulcrum, debt, are the lever used by Godzilla to gain control over the fruits of our labor, by using money and debt to control access to energy and what it can produce (especially food, water, and shelter for the laborers and refined metals for the gods.)
(But I kind of feel like I am trying to play a bag pipe at a piano concerto ... so I should probably shush ... sorry.)

Yes, if we easily obtained energy and what it produces, without playing Godzilla's various debt and money, war and taxes, regulation and control games, then Godzilla could "retire" though I doubt he'll do so gracefully. His games, which encompass so much of our conscious lives, would become noxious nonsense.

Hi Paul:
You bagpipe is welcome. I appreciate the consideration that you, Limor, and CdnSirian have been showing lately, by downplaying your posts as you make them or soon thereafter, but you are all making worthy posts, and it is always the most considerate who are reticent. I encourage perceptive posts, even when they seem to misalign with my themes, and really, I have yet to see many posts on my threads that are not topical. These are big subjects. When Ilie politely challenges me, it makes my day. :) I mean it, because it means that I need to go more in depth on a topic.
Your post points out part of the FE conundrum’s crux. In the current economy, energy is indeed finite and scarce, and Godzilla’s entire game of money, debt, taxes, war, and the like is entirely predicated on keeping energy finite and scarce. And yes, money becomes a proxy for that finite and scarce energy, and when everybody focuses on the money game – how much is mine, how much is yours, and who owes what to whom – then Godzilla has the game well in hand. FE is his worst nightmare, because then it would be game over, and he knows it. With FE and abundance, money, taxes, debt, and the like vanish, and so will the motivation behind war, which is where Godzilla really gets off. Godzilla is like the house in Vegas – he only wins when people play – and the house always wins. :)
The movie War Games had a punch line where the computer stated, “The only way to win a nuclear war is not to play.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames#Plot
When people focus on our problems as being primarily about debt, taxes, money, and the like, their minds and spirits are trapped by Godzilla’s artificially-enforced scarcity paradigm. As I have been stating for the past decade, Godzilla’s greatest triumph is making FE and what can come with it unimaginable:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#thinkable
and when it begins to become imaginable to some people, then Godzilla’s next line of defense is making sure that people try to make FE happen via avenues that he controls and that actually reinforce the scarcity paradigm, such as raising money, applying for patents, working in secret labs, and so on. The scarcity path to abundance does not seem to work, as its methods cut the legs out from under it. Because we all need to eat and there is only so much time in a day, overcoming the artificially-enforced scarcity paradigm is no easy trick, and only a relative handful of people today are fit for the task. That is not elitist – those are just the numbers, which took me many years to finally understand, and that was one of the loneliest feelings in the world.
Less than one person in a thousand in the general population will even dare to imagine abundance in a meaningful way. Let’s say that one in ten thousand is able and willing to. That means that there are nearly a million of them on the planet today. But many are children or do not have Internet access, although those who can imagine abundance may well hail more from the industrialized world, as they can see what relative abundance has done for their standard of living, so they already have a hint at what FE can mean. People fighting over cow pies may have a difficult time imagining abundance. Let’s winnow down the numbers to 250,000 who have Internet access and are able and willing to just imagine abundance and have at least Limor’s grasp of English (although I certainly favor this happening in all the languages that it can). I am looking to recruit less than ten thousand of them, or around one in thirty. That seems to give me pretty good odds. Nobody else on Earth is really trying what I am, with my background, so there will not be any “competition” for them. And if somebody else got an abundance choir going before I did, I would join it. When enough people can hit the notes, it will not matter much who leads the choir, and we can take turns. My goal is for those several thousand to reach a harmony that will be truly heard by perhaps ten times that many. It will be the song they never heard before, but have yearned for all of their lives. They won’t be the choir, but they will get active, and they will have the right stuff. With those numbers, the technical aspect of making FE happen would be child’s play.
Godzilla’s minions are watching my efforts, and I am sure have some plans to disrupt them if they ever begin to bear fruit (i.e., a chorus forms). If I was exposed to the general public like I was at ATS, the trolls would come running:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll
Mr. Skeptic did not need to crash ATS and attack me, as the trolls were doing just fine on their own, although they probably had him in reserve, just in case, but then ATS banned me instead of the trolls, which was educational.
The above was written before your second post, which is really an amen to what I wrote above. Yes, Godzilla does not want to give up the game that he has mastered, but there is dissension in the ranks, as the game is reaching planet-threatening levels, and most in Godzilla’s ranks favor FE coming out:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal
even though they know it will mean the end of the game, although I can even see them trying to preserve part of it. I am virtually certain that that disenchanted faction gave my friend that show long ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
I also have heard from reliable sources that one of Godzilla’s contingency plans is terraforming Mars if his game ends up wrecking this planet, and I imagine that when that plan was floated, the dissension in the ranks swelled. You really have to be insane to be willing to destroy your home planet as a side-effect of your power game, to then try to make another inhabitable so that the game can continue. But the dark path is really the craziest path of all, although dark pathers sure can seem “smart.” :) Max is one brilliant dude:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell
People like Max can only play their games in a world of scarcity. In a world of abundance, their games won’t work. Godzilla may not go quietly, but I have had enough surprises and divine intervention on my journey to know that Godzilla is not nearly as much in control as he would like to be. If he does not slink away or try to blend in, I favor building Godzilla his retirement home, where he can rest from his labors, maybe on a tropical island and maybe just down the street, but his days running the species are numbered, in one way or another.

P.S. I just read this:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/simi-singh-juneja/he-could-be-my-son_b_3128180.html
and the responses, and there is questioning happening about how young men can commit “terrorist” acts like they did.
The gist of the situation seems to be this:
A relatively normal, talented teenager came under the influence of a malign ideology, probably via his older relative, and then inflicted deadly violence on people that he did not even know, terrorizing an entire city. It may be that some kind of childish ideological conviction, combined with his youthful hormones and inexperience, turned him into a killer of innocent people.
I’ll be damned if that does not depict the average American soldier in Iraq. Or Vietnam, or Korea, or Panama, etc. A few years into our invasion of Iraq, a third of our soldiers admitted to killing a civilian. And those were not usually combat situations, but just the daily lives of the soldiers there, “lighting up” a street when necessary, opening up on cars at “checkpoints” when the driver looked suspicious, and so on. In the eyes of the invaders, all of the natives become “enemies.” I unfortunately have watched way too much gun camera footage from Iraq, with our boys taking out all manner of “belligerent,” and almost everything that I have seen was “illegally” leaked. God only knows what the archives would look like in their fullness. I have posted “trophy shots” that our boys and girls proudly made:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading
In Vietnam, our boys made up the “Mere Gook Rule” to laugh off their murders. They actually had murder quotas:
http://www.vice.com/read/vietnam-and-the-mere-gook-rule
The My Lai Massacre was just a day at the office, if one of the more “productive” ones. The things I have heard from my pals rank right up there with the worst atrocities that the Nazis committed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#interrogate
It seems that the best that can be said about our adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan is that they have not been quite as gratuitously murderous as Vietnam was, but that may still be open for debate. Horrific stories have been trickling out of Iraq, and maybe in forty years we will hear more about them.
I was indoctrinated to become one of those killers:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business
and I have to thank my mother for prevailing on my father to talk me out of it. When we live in a culture that glorifies violence, where the predominant ideologies make others “less” because they don’t belong to our “club” (take your pick: gender, race, class, ethnicity, nationality, religion, political-economic ideology, professional credential, species, body-fat percentage, sexual orientation, and so on), and anybody can easily acquire weaponry and other deadly materials, we have a prescription for the USA that we see today. All these young men killers that have been making headline after headline in the past few years are just would-be soldiers gone bad, attacking the “wrong” people.
Our system makes them into killers:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#coerce
Nineteen-year-old boys are the most vulnerable to their killer ape heritage, probably of any age, and our system exploits it instead of trying to protect those young men from it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#fussell2
When I hear amazement that somebody could do what those brothers did, I know that they are oblivious to the realities of our great nation.
Time for bed.

After watching Sirius I have to wonder do ETs have Free Energy? If they do, does that make them the good guys?
If I am given a ship, powered by a Free Energy device, and sent to another planet to cause trouble, what is to stop me from running away and use that Free Energy device to start a non-violent civilization?
Can there be controllers and controlled in a Free Energy society? Perhaps with strong mental conditioning? Could Free Energy be contained once it gets to be widely used?
I also look at channeled material, at people that claim are in contact with highly advanced ET intelligences, at people that claim have been on board of ET craft, at current gurus and spiritual masters and almost none of them ever mentions Free Energy. None of these so called teachings, that are supposed to help us become free, none are addressing the Energy issue in any meaningful way... So then I have to wonder? How enlightened and how helpful are those teachings? When do they stop being helpful and they become just another (very powerful) distraction? Another trap of victim-savior thinking? Almost all say stuff like "we are all Energy", "we are all Love", but those are just empty words if not followed through with practical application of Free Energy. I find this very very strange...
It could be that I simply did not read enough channeled material or I did not read enough contactee testimony, but so far Free Energy, the truly liberating, down to Earth, tech already invented, practical solution seems to escape even the brightest ET intelligence. When I hear alleged ETs advising to go for patents, raising money, share the small pie more evenly, I really have to wonder who's the poor man behind that "ET presence"?
I guess another argument could be made that usually the help is given to help individuals overcome their conditioning. That Free Energy talk is too advanced for most of the audience? But they could at least drop a line or two about it... Or are they trying to help up all become "ascended masters" and so Free Energy becomes a "side effect" of our being?
How come that such a central, all encompassing issue as Energy is missing from the "helpful teachings"?

One hour of no elctricity as part of 'Earth day' was celebrated yesterday in Israel, and only 4% of the citizens have turned off the lights in solidarity with our blue planet. It is true that there is no real benefit from giving up the use of electricity for this short amount of time of 60 minutes, there really can not be any real contemplation of life without this kind of energy which is so available to us, when an hour later we can casually pick up the electricity switch and forget about it all. Maybe it's just the fact that we dare to put our minds to it, that for a duration of an hour we are ready to think about the implications of living, using and abusing our planet home.
However, only 4% took the time to switch off...
-----------
I wanted to comment on something in regards to the terror attacks committed by young people which help to serve some hidden purpose for our administration. I have to admit I am as delicate as a sandpaper when it comes to this area of our lives, being influenced by it myself.
A comprehensive look is pretty difficult to achieve, even when searching and investigating our past and our present, we are sometimes ruquired to know the future, and how can that possibly be done? What expertise can allow us to know the unknown? Tapping into what is to come must be based on what was and what is. As early as the 1950's, the CIA was involved in experiments on mind control over citizens, nowdays governments and other agencies take part in what is known (and can easily be searched and verified) as unlawful interference in people's minds. futuristic? well, the future seems to be here.

We live in a global climate where it is difficult to guess how much of it has developed organically and how much was regulated and calculated in a purposeful way, but my own guess is that if ever we will find out, the later will be shockingly present. We are at the beggining of an era where the mind rules.
What Wade is aming to do and demonstartes, is rooted in the deep understanding that our minds (in combination with our hearts) have the greatest power to move mountains. For Godzila, it seems like old news, but it gives him a slight concern that the little infants may wake up from their nap and figure out that they can climb over the baby crib and go tour without the need for any adult supervision. like parents that want their baby to continue sleeping they preper well in advance dummy teats and pacifiers. It is true that the amount of brain washing that exists in the world and the methods of division are of great influence to those young man and to all of us when we lack awarness. Wade has been taught that a 'real' man is a one who joins the army and do what men are expected to do. I did my millitary service as a vegeterian rather non violent young woman out of confidence that this is what I need to do, and I was a pretty good and loyal solidier. We are all affected and impacted by our well orchastrated surrounding and a good amount of indoctrination passing from one generation to another, but, the growing number of accidental shooting and acts of terrorism done by young people today are in the majotiry of cases a directed mind control interference.
In order to make sure that we have the widest perspective that is so needed, a research on the behavioral engineering of humans via their minds is recommended. It is the era of the mind. What we do with it and how we develop this amazing tool in spite of the interfernces from outside is a key, with no less importance than FE is, I dare say ~
Blessing for a good day!

Hi Ilie:
I see that I can’t buy the Sirius DVD until June. I hope it has subtitles for this half-deaf man. :)
What you are seeing, where all the mystical stuff stresses only the mystical, even the ET-related, I think is part of the lopsidedness of the genre. It is not all like that, but a great deal is. That is another instance of the “we are so heavenly bound we are no earthly good” theme. It is a very common one, virtually a cliché in those circles. I think that it is partly because the “channel” is scientifically illiterate and does not know how our world works, so you get those totally impractical “channelings.”
The only thing that we take with us is our awareness, and so working on it is our most important job, but there is the issue of living in physical reality. If you think about it, all of those so-called channels don’t live here, so maybe it is easy for them to miss the boat, too. The better channeled stuff discusses that problem, where when we are here, we forget being there, and vice versa. An integrated perspective can also be the physical/non-physical divide, although we can’t remember the other side, and when on the other side, we tend to forget what it is like to have a body and the limitations of physical reality. To that, I am sympathetic to the idea out there that the entire physical reality and reincarnation game is a prison for our spirits that we have been lured into (or fell into). I don’t know if that is true, because my memories were taken away from me, but the answer, as usual is waking up and manifesting love. That is the only way out, no matter what game has been set up here.
The so-called New Age is notorious for that disconnectedness that you notice, but it is far worse than that, where when it comes to material wellbeing, it is a narcissistic and totally impractical “program” of just wishing our goodies into being, as if the universe just wants to give it to those that ask for it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage
I see that short-sighted “mysticism” all the time. Again, the best mystical stuff says that the highest expression of love on this plane is taking care of another’s physical needs. When you do that, the rest is small stuff. Look at the tales in the New Testament. All the pretty words were nice, but Jesus knew that nobody would listen unless their bellies were full, so he manifested the loaves and fishes. Healing the sick, causing the blind to see, even raising the dead - those were practical feats that he performed. His pretty words would not have meant much without his deeds. It is what we do in this world that really counts.
Make scarcity obsolete, and the changes will be mind-boggling. Again, if you want to see the best of our potential, and the practical side of it, I really don’t know of a better one than that little peek that Roads got:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
Again, they consciously chose love, and their material existence and relationship to nature and each other is something that almost nobody today can really wrap their minds around. As I have stated before, I encountered it after I went through the meat-grinder with Dennis, and my reaction was, “Ah, at least some people chose love and the light.” One day soon, I will put that entire account on the Future Earth thread, and I will also write of my imaginings of days in the lives of some of the people there. Again, when I encountered that account, it became a tip-of-the-iceberg experience for me, where I got a glimpse of it, and I began to think about the nuts-and-bolts of that civilization. They got it right. Their civilization was based on love, which also meant that they all had access to FE. Again, love and FE are joined at the hip in more than one way, in mystical and practical ways.
On the practicality part, Roads was a farmer, so his experiences were full of the horse sense of somebody who had to work in the real world of energy, not somebody whose understanding of the energy situation was limited to flipping a switch to power his home and writing a check for that energy. Bruce Moen was an engineer:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell
So, again, his work has a practicality to it that a lot of New Age stuff does not.
To your question if there can still be controllers in an FE-based society, the answer is likely yes, but truly free societies have FE. Scarcity is the lever of control that is used on the planet today (and has been for the entirety of civilization), and Godzilla and friends know that FE makes abundance feasible, and they will then lose their means of control. It is really about that simple. People are conditioned by scarcity from their cradles, and the vast majority cannot even imagine abundance, and until enough of us can, we won’t overcome the organized suppression and humanity’s inertia. Maybe the ETs will really help, and maybe they won’t. I think it is really up to us.
Hi Limor:
Nice photo. :)
That brainwashing begins in our cradles in the USA, and it is the song of scarcity that we hear 24/7. I know from bitter experience that the scarcity paradigm is artificially enforced. The question can become why. Is it to just protect their niche in a world of scarcity? What I have found is that Godzilla is the master of ceremonies, but virtually everybody tunes in for the show. Godzilla is just the master of a game that virtually everybody plays, at one level or another. I am here to suggest a different game, the game of abundance. And it is rooted in practicality, but it really begins in our hearts and minds. If there is any value to the mystical stuff, it is that what we hold in our hearts and minds will manifest in the world around us. I am from the practical side of the house, however. Cars, bikes, houses, and civilizations don’t manifest out of the thin air, but people build them, for reasons, and not so little boys can have bikes delivered to their homes because they imagined it.
Our entire physical reality is the manifestation of universal mind, and the mastery of this aspect of creation is our challenge, and it all begins in our hearts and between our ears. :)
Well, news is trickling in about the Boston Marathon bombers, and maybe we won’t use it as an excuse to invade another nation:
http://gma.yahoo.com/simple-boston-bomb-plot-hatched-without-foreign-help-082418368--abc-news-topstories.html
and here is the part that I hope makes Americans think a little:
“As to what drove Tamerlan to violence, his younger brother has apparently told investigators it was his hatred of America, and its policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, law enforcement sources said.”
It has never been the stupid-isms of George Bush, where they “hate our freedom.”

Hi:
The Marathon Bombing’s aftermath has been something to watch, from many angles. From the media calling Russia the new terror central, to the wacky conspiracist stuff, to the flag-waving of the masses, etc.
To make my position clear, my life’s work was wiped out by what can legitimately be called a global conspiracy:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make
and during that ordeal, one of the few people who helped me had inside information on JFK’s murder:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean
and after many years of study, his testimony holds up:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#assess
and I have been seeing his testimony cited in more JFK works over the years. With knowing that Oswald was not a lone nut, several other assassinations in the succeeding generation have the whiff of similar activities. The USA is often compared to Rome, and since six Caesars in a row were taken out by conspiracies, it is very legitimate to wonder how many of our assassinations and attempts were conspiratorial in nature, and if there is any benefit to the Marathon Bombings on that score, it is at least that the term “false flag” is entering the vocabulary.
But that does not lend legitimacy to every conspiratorial musing. I spent a long time looking into the moon landings, and they happened as advertised:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo
but the “we never landed on the moon” theories are still alive and well, as misinformation, disinformation, and the like is constantly recycled. I have been on the fringes of the conspiracist milieu periodically, and they can be very unbalanced:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11
My jury is still out on 9/11, and I have been seeing some of the same people get involved in JFK, the moon landings, 9/11, and now the Marathon Bombings, and I have to say that I have slowly lost respect for their work over the years, and in the wake of the Marathon Bombings, I have pretty much lost all respect for it.
Was the Marathon Bombing a false flag event, or was it even staged, with no real victims being injured and killed? Where those two boys/men patsies? The evidence is extremely thin on the “it was all staged” angle, and the evidence for the rest is highly equivocal at this stage, and I would say extremely unlikely. But there is a blizzard of “analysis” of photos and other evidence in circulation right now that really gives conspiracy researchers a bad name. It is a three-ring circus right now.
What is less equivocal is the media’s “analysis.” I have been treated to the usual imperial assumptions, and one gem was this article in the Christian Science Monitor:
http://news.yahoo.com/boston-bombings-beware-russia-us-cooperation-counter-terrorism-162859608--politics.html
I once subscribed to it, thinking that I was getting alternative media:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big
I had a lot to learn. The article had some real nuggets in it, such as:
“President Putin’s regime itself engages in state terrorism against unarmed civilians.”
Just like the USA does. But we call it “shock and awe” and other euphemisms.
Another neat passage was:
“Moscow is primarily responsible for fanning religious radicalism and violence through its brutal pacification programs in which entire villages have been targeted for repression and family members of suspected terrorists are kidnapped, tortured, and killed.”
The USA actually created the Jihad phenomenon with its efforts in Afghanistan. Before Ralph McGehee was silenced:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee
he wrote about our operation in Afghanistan, and making fundamentalist Jihadists was one of its primary goals, even printing up tens of thousands of copies of the Koran, to distribute to our dupes.
Another passage was:
“Russian counter-terrorism has created the very enemy that Moscow was supposedly seeking to eliminate.”
Just like the USA. There was zero “terrorism” in Iraq before we invaded them, to fight “terror.” We not only throw gasoline on the fire and call it firefighting, but we also start the fire.
I don’t expect the media to discuss the oil situation and Chechnya, but it exists:
http://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/International/Boston-Marathon-Attacks-Chechnya-and-Oil-the-Hidden-U.S.-Connection.html
Just like the media could never seem to find any connection between Iraq’s oil and our reasons for invading. The Stalinist press could not have done “better.”
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
The Marathon Bombings are the biggest “terror” event in the USA since 9/11, and people like me would rather not have a front-row seat to the next imperial adventure that that event may be used as an excuse for. As I wrote from the beginning, a Russian/American “anti-terror” alliance could become a horrifying thing to behold, and we will see how it plays out. This morning’s news is ominous on that front:
http://news.yahoo.com/putin-boston-bombing-shows-wests-mistake-101701441.html
Since the USA invented al-Qaida more than thirty years ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski
they have been used by the USA and its allies numerous times since then, such as with the Kosovo Liberation Army:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorist
the recent overthrow of Libya:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=659038&highlight=Gaddafi#post659038
and so on. They are called freedom fighters one day and terrorists the next, depending on their utility, and it is looking very much like the Marathon Bombings are at the very least another instance of blowback, if not an outright false flag operation. I am leaning toward blowback right now. The orgiastic flag wavers:
http://news.yahoo.com/photos/suspects-identified-in-boston-bombing-slideshow/people-wave-u-flags-while-cheering-police-drive-photo-024444535.html?format=embed
http://news.yahoo.com/photos/suspects-identified-in-boston-bombing-slideshow/people-wave-u-flags-while-cheering-police-drive-photo-024539055.html?format=embed
will refuse to own even the smallest share of responsibility for these events, framing the entire exercise in Bush-ian “good-versus-evil” cartoon rhetoric. And they comprise the vast majority of Americans, I am very sorry to say. We really are a nation of children.
OK, back to the world’s economic development. Europe’s rise in a world of scarcity meant the subjugation of the rest of the world. Again, economists have made the case that Europe did not really industrialize on the backs of the Third World, but that is misleading. Once Europe stole three continents, particularly North America, it was able to industrialize by plundering its own energy resources and people – sort of.
We will start with England, and the benefits that it received from the conquered lands, and how it assisted its industrialization.
1. As Carl Sauer noted, the ideology of wide-open spaces, begging to be peopled with “settlers,” came from those early days of European conquest: http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#carl2 , but such expansion was really a permanent impoverishment of the world, although the exploiters received short-term benefits that were not sustainable.
2. That ideology took root in England soon after the peasants had been kicked off the land, with Enclosure and Game laws http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651980&highlight=enclosure#post651980 , and the “surplus” population had someplace to go. Using the dispossessed peasants to invade other peoples happened in England before the conquest of North America’s east coast, with the Ulster Plantation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=658651&highlight=ulster#post658651).
3. Since England had already been deforested by its “progress,” Ireland’s forests came in handy for England to build its own version of history’s greatest energy-generation equipment until that time: the ocean-going sailing ship (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=596748&highlight=horsepower#post596748 ).
4. England had also benefitted from other energy technologies, such as the horse collar from China: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=655010&viewfull=1#post655010 and the watermill invented by the Greeks, which spread during the High Middle Ages: (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621451&highlight=watermills#post621451 )
5. The rise of science and reason had everything to do with the reintroduction of the Greek teachings to Europe when the Christian armies began to capture Islamic libraries (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#toledo )
6. Also, a new form of social organization that assisted the plunder effort was first used by England and the Netherlands: the corporation. Their English East India Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_East_India_Company#Founding ) was the first, with the Dutch right behind them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company#Formation_.281602.29 ) Europe’s conquest of the world led to the rise of the corporation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_corporations#Renaissance_and_mercantilism )
7. The introduction of New World foods also led to a population explosion, as New World crops were highly superior to Old World crops, energy-wise. Northern Europe added the potato to its menu, and places such as Ireland and Russia came to subsist almost entirely on the potato (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653078&highlight=potato#post653078 )
8. The blood of the Western Hemisphere’s natives also began the money revolution in Western Europe, where all of that gold and silver poured in (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest ), which assisted the “exchange” that made corporations and other greed-based institutions more feasible.
9. Without the energy of coal, however, the British Isles would have quickly become a denuded wasteland, just like all deforested lands eventually became over history. England was plundering further away for its wood, all the way to New England: (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=658651&highlight=mast#post658651 ), before it industrialized.
10. But once the energy of coal became exploited, it became the basis for England’s Industrial Revolution. Although they were not the first to do it, Brits learned to bake the impurities out of coal so that it could be used to smelt metal, iron most importantly (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=655010&highlight=coke#post655010 ), and the Industrial Revolution was off to the races.
11. At the same time that coal was used to smelt metal, that metal was used as a way to mine more coal, when the steam engine was invented (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=newcomen#post624099 ) to remove water from coal mines that had dug below the water table. A few generations later, Watt’s engine was a great improvement, which really signaled the Industrial Revolution’s beginning.
12. As I have stated, it was not an overnight event, and wind and water power actually stayed competitive with coal until well into the 1800s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624099&highlight=steamships#post624099 ), but by the last half of the 1900s, steam power was ascendant over wind for ships and water for mills, and railroads were crisscrossing the continents, for ease of transportation in the imperial lands, and for ease of exploitation in the colonial lands (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=661499&highlight=railroads#post661499 ). In 1859, the Americans drilled the first oil well, and within a few generations, the USA became the world’s leading industrial power by far (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660425&viewfull=1#post660425 ), and by far history’s richest and most powerful nation.
13. The fate of the Middle East was sealed when the greatest energy resource of all, oil, was discovered in their lands (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651262&highlight=sealed#post651262 ), and everything that happens there today, as far as what white people are doing there, is all about the oil, with everything else a sideshow.
14. Although once the colonial era largely ended with the “grand finale” (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#finale ) of World War II, preventing the Third World from industrializing has been a predilection of the West for a long time, as it became obvious that there was only so much hydrocarbon energy to go around. The obliteration of Iraq as a nation is part of that program. If the USA and friends can turn Iraq, Iran, and vicinity into a big oil pump, and we turn those peoples back into a bunch of impoverished camel jockeys, goatherds, and subsistence farmers, we will have our game well in hand. The intentional destruction of all of Iraq’s institutions, except for the oil ministry, laid that strategy out very plainly for anybody with eyes to see. The effort has largely been successful. Iraq went from having the highest standard of living among Arab nations, and its most secular, with no “terrorists” operating there, to one of the world’s most miserable nations, with its infrastructure in rubble, with daily bombings, and its oil has effectively been privatized and controlled by foreign interests (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading ), which was the plan all along. That Americans are unhappy with our Iraqi adventure, because the conquest was not as easy as advertised, really does not matter all that much to the people planning those operations. And Godzilla looks on and laughs. As long as everybody fights over the dwindling hydrocarbons, he has the big game well in hand, and so far, humanity has blindly obliged him.
15. With the rise of England over its rivals, due to its industrialization, ideological and social inventions were used to assist its dominance. One was culling the herd in the homeland. Anybody who resisted the program of dispossessing the peasants and turning them into factory workers was shipped off as “criminals,” first to Georgia, and after the American Revolution, to Australia (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=659261&highlight=australia#post659261), where they became involuntary “settlers.”
16. Another social project that justified the rising economic order was the great labors of the classical economists who put a happy face on it, with the invention of capitalism as an ideology, but it was not until Karl Marx that it was given that name. The classical economists used similar means as today’s media does, by their lies of omission (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big ), as they glossed over the brutal aspect of capitalism’s early days, as dispossessed peasants were forced into the factories after their means of subsistence was violently taken from them (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660765&highlight=perelman#post660765 ).
17. Ever since the English Civil Wars of the 1600s, the monarchy lost its ability to rule its subjects by brute force, and the science of manipulating the public’s mind began its ascent since then. The classical economists were modern-day Court historians, justifying the position of the elite, which became less about royalty and more about the capitalists. The English colonies of North America learned those lessons, and from the very beginning, controlling the press by private means became the modus operandi, such as when the only newspaper that reported on the illegal Constitutional Convention was bought out and silenced (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#herald ).
18. The art of manipulating the public’s mind became a science in the twentieth century, with the rise of the public relations industry (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#gatto ), flag-worship (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag ) and so on.
By World War I, which was really about rights of plunder for the Europeans, the English, French, and Americans had already gobbled up nearly the entire planet, and latecomers such as the Germans only wanted their fair share of the plunder. That conflict was not resolved until 1945, when Germany and Japan were put in their places, and then the USA spent the next several decades preventing the world’s peoples from truly becoming free of their white overlords. Anti-communist ideology became the new religion (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#commie ), and when the commie threat ended (it was always primarily an economic threat, where the world's peoples would no longer be enslaved by the West (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#intelligence ), then it became drug dealers for a time, although the CIA has long been among the world’s primary drug runners, to fund its evil deeds, so nobody needs to think that the “war on drugs” will end anytime soon, even with the decapitation frenzy in Mexico these days. Today, the preferred bogeyman is the “terrorist,” just as George Orwell predicted long ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell
and mindless flag-waving is an integral part of the program, also as Orwell predicted. We just have a new kind of fascism in the USA, with flags and bibles being the mode of conditioning, as people predicted long ago:
Sinclair Lewis was misattributed:
http://technoccult.net/archives/2010/03/03/who-really-said-when-fascism-comes-to-america-it-will-come-wrapped-in-the-flag-and-waving-a-cross/
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sinclair_Lewis#Misattributed
but it was the gist of his writings of the time:
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Sinclair_Lewis
as it was for others.
Fascism was quite the up-and-coming political-economic ideology in those days:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#brown
What we see today would have been no surprise to those “visionaries.” The USA and friends can probably buy many more years of the “war on terror” rubric, but when that begins to wear thin, then it will be the ET threat. TPTB have been doing their best to keep the ET situation under wraps, because they know it will mean the end of their reign, and not because the ETs will become the new overlords, but because they arrived here via technology that can end the era of scarcity on Earth, and if people were truly living in abundance, it would be game over for Godzilla, and he knows it. If the ETs are ever officially acknowledged, the ultimate false flag operation is planned, to stage an alien “invasion,” a la The War of the Worlds, so the world’s masses huddle under the “protection” of Godzilla and his lackeys. But Godzilla knows that that game will be incredibly difficult to pull off, partly because the ETs by and large do not have hostile intent, and if Godzilla even allows the ET presence to be officially acknowledged, then the ETs will have been freed to openly interact with humanity. Then it will become evident that they mean no harm, and their goodies like FE and antigravity (and most of “our” technology on that score came from reverse-engineering “captured” ET craft (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground )) will quickly be seen as having the potential to take humanity into a new era that leaves behind scarcity, environmental devastation, genocide, and the rest of the human circus as relics of history, and then a world like this:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
begins to come into view. And have no doubt about it; that is what Godzilla fears more than anything else, because he would no longer be in charge.
This narrative on energy and the human journey, in all of its many facets, began back in July:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=518761&viewfull=1#post518761
and I will be finishing it in the next week or so, and then it will be off to write that big essay, which will be a more concerted effort, distilling what my readers have been digesting since July. This thread since July has largely been an outline of my upcoming essay, so it has been good for me, too, to do this. It will make writing the essay an easier task, and you will see me summarize this thread since July on my site, in what will kind of be a formal outline of my upcoming essay. The meat is mostly all there, if the student is serious about developing a comprehensive perspective. It is not all armchair stuff by any means, and my recent interaction with Ilie and how growing up on a farm helped developed his growing comprehensive perspective:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=663503&viewfull=1#post663503
highlights one way that people can get their “boots on the ground” in developing their own comprehensive perspective. I give my prescriptions for it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing
but we all have to do the work. As I have stated many times, being in the choir will be hard work, and people such as Ilie, Darren, and others at Avalon have been doing their homework. That is all I can ask, and when I have seen them do that, it gave me feedback that my choir idea just might have a chance, but the hard work will be for aspiring choir members to digest the material that I have been putting on this thread since July and make it their song, not just parroting something that I put out there. Until it becomes the song of each of us (and we will each bring our particular flavor to it, which is a vital part to making this work), we will not be able to hit the notes in harmony. I spent a lifetime on my odyssey, to get where I am, and what I am trying to do is get people such as Ilie there a lot faster. It really is a race between education and catastrophe, as Bucky said:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
We will see how it goes.

Hi:
I used to read Jeff Rense’s site fairly regularly, especially in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Rense interviewed Dennis and Brian back then on his show. I am trying to remember why or how, but I was once in contact with a few of the regular writers on Rense’s site. But the Rense site could be a real circus, and any serious reader will quickly winnow out various authors and topics. There is an anti-Semitic bent to some work on Rense, and many of them go down the rabbit holes and live there forever after.
But when I want to read the latest on Fukushima, for instance, I go to Rense, but I don’t visit the site very often. But when events such as the Marathon Bombings happen, the latest alternative perspective can be found at Rense, usually from the conspiracist side of the house, but not always. I visited yesterday, and saw a review of Greer’s Sirius movie, but the headline was negative:
http://www.theufochronicles.com/2013/04/i-wasted-10-to-watch-greers-ufo.html
I figured it was some UFO enthusiast who did not like the movie. So I began reading, and was surprised at how unprofessional the reviewer was, with an “Excuse me while I barf” phrase near the beginning of the article. Then he linked to a Skeptical Inquirer article to debunk one of Greer’s more compelling UFO witnesses:
http://www.csicop.org/si/show/buzzing_bee_missile_mythology_flies_again/
Then I did a little surfing and found this by Robert Hastings, which takes on the debunkers of that witness:
http://www.ufohastings.com/articles/deep-denial-or-disinformation#note_17
Then I went back to that movie review and read the reviewer’s name, and kind of hit my forehead. Robert Sheaffer is one of the most rabid “skeptics” out there. I am really surprised to see Rense post something from a CSICOP stalwart. I’ll have to be far more careful than I already am in reading stuff like Rense’s site. But the reason I am making this post is that article that took on that debunkers of that UFO incident. While reading that article many memories came streaming back, few of them pleasant.
I began to study the “skeptics” more than twenty years ago, and they sure seemed narrow-minded. I also kept seeing instances of their alleged dishonesty, but it was not until I got slimed by one of their own that it really hit home who those people are:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends
and Mr. Skeptic is quite the media darling, and he just makes up new lies as his old ones are exposed.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=410817&viewfull=1#post410817
That he has not been drummed out of the “skeptical” societies says a lot about them.
But what drove me to write about that article were Hastings’s encounters with the UFO debunkers. I know the names, and here I will relate some anecdotes that I have not done publicly before.
You will see some of the same names in my UFO writings and that article:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big
and I encountered one of the biggest names in UFO debunkery myself while I was doing Brian’s biographical work. He actually helped me contact the astronaut corps to get Brian’s NASA bio published:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&viewfull=1#post267098
so he gets some points there, but after the bio was published, he enlisted a NASA historian to debunk Brian’s Martian credentials. Then I asked Brian for some ammo to defend ourselves with if they really went after Brian, and he gave me the anecdotes on Shepard and von Braun that made it into this section:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars
I was actually surprised at how unread the historian and debunker were. Brian published The Making of an Ex-Astronaut in 1970, which won awards, and those questions from his astronaut interview were in there. It is widely known that Brian was the only planetary scientist in the astronaut corps during the Apollo program:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#planetary
The ignorance of the debunker and the historian were a little shocking for me, being such NASA bulwarks that they were. The debunker also made some snide comments about Brian to me in our exchanges. I never shared them with Brian. I had already seen the slimy behavior of Mr. Skeptic and friends, but these were big name players, not some “amateur” like Mr. Skeptic, and I somehow expected better of them. But it was the same kind of behavior that Hastings noted in his article. I admit that Sheaffer’s shtick is further out there, at Mr. Skeptic’s level of professionalism, but I expected a little better from that NASA debunker. Brian died not long afterward, and that debunker actually had kind of a black eulogy for him.
As Brian’s books have made clear, he was not a good fit for NASA. Better candidates were passed over, but Brian was the Mars expert and von Braun had a chance to see his Martian dreams come true. But that has not justified the treatment that Brian received over the years.
When I had those exchanges with that famous astronaut, the astronaut corps itself was not aware that Brian did not have a bio at NASA. They treated me far better than I expected, and infinitely better than the debunkers have. And I have found that to be true in several areas. While the government and media have attacked Dennis endlessly over the years, with people like Mr. Skeptic sicced on him, with the public laughing and people like my mother making scrap books of the lying newspaper articles:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492
Godzilla has taken Dennis very seriously since the 1980s, and Dennis was one of the greatest threats to Godzilla’s game. While Brian was cast from the citadel, when he got involved in the UFO issue, the military tried to kill him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
while the “skeptics” scoff and pour forth their derision. I have seen the toll that such treatment has taken out of people like Dennis and Brian, and I can only imagine what Greer has had to put up with, murder attempts aside:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak
while the Sheaffers of the world purvey their snide attitude. Whether Sheaffer is on the payroll or not is kind of irrelevant, as I discovered during my days with Dennis. The free-lance a***oles act just like the professionals do. It is not easy to tell them apart, and I doubt that it is even very important to do so.
Time for work.
Best,
Wade

Hello Wade, I think it might not be fair of me to pull something out of the sea of your excellent information and to read you means to go through pretty much the unconventional angle of information which is a lot more straight and equitable than anything else we were ever told. But I feel the urge to comment :)
Originally posted by Wade Frazier:" But Godzilla knows that that game will be incredibly difficult to pull off, partly because the ETs by and large do not have hostile intent, and if Godzilla even allows the ET presence to be officially acknowledged, then the ETs will have been freed to openly interact with humanity. Then it will become evident that they mean no harm.."
In your wrting you seem to have developed somewhat of a netural approach towards Godzila's exitance, it's effort and it's overall nature. Your own preferences may be clear and you follow a rather opposite direction to it, but you do not chose to battle it or adopt the warrior's aproach, which is in fact the victim's approach. This kind of objectivity is well balanced and is not participating in the ordinary game of energies exchange of a strike and a reaction. When it comes to our brothers and neighbors out there, there seem to be a tendency more towards the Et's 'good will and intent towards us', which is not as objective and is less neutral.
The fact is that we simply do not know what is going on out there with the level of knowledge (or the lack of it..) we have today, we certainly may want to adopt a positive aproach towards all other life forms ourselves, but how can we assume that the same approach is adopted towards us with all other types of Et's? the presence of ET's in our world today indicates, at least partly, that it is not all about some friendly visitation and that is o.k, no opposite reaction is needed, there are many other various agenda's besides that of the earthly Godzila's, but only by becoming aware to the vast complexity of the ET issue, we can have the chance to team up with those that are led by the power of the heart and inteligence in the form of wisdom rather than cleverness. Nothing less than this will lead us to our new abundant planet where we can be expected to be totaly free of any kind of slavery even when FE will prevail. I don't mean playing a skeptic but simply to have another set of eyes in the back and an awarness to everything ranging from hostile intent to 'mean no harm'. This is just my observation which may sound 'out there' and irrelevant to this discussion, but it may, in potential, be a future hindrance to FE being implemented in a way that will not be directed under foreign parties and one which will serve the best of humanity :rolleyes:

27th April 2013, 14:37
Hi Limor:
You bring up a big subject. Knowing Brian O, attending dozens of channeling sessions, some private, hanging out with people such as James Gilliland:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm
interacting with many “contactees,” as well as a lot of study, including the Disclosure witness testimonies, having my own experiences with “contact” (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice ) and so on, has given me the perspective that I have today, a perspective that is continually evolving. These aspects of the ET situation are indisputable, IMO:
1. The biggest cover-up of all time is regarding the ET presence.
2. The people behind the covering up have zero benevolent intent toward humanity and the planet; they are the most power-hungry people on Earth, and are mostly dark pathers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving ).
3. Whoever the ETs are, whether they are from other star systems, other dimensions, some combination, or something else, they have advanced technology that can seem to be magic to us Earthlings. I believe that most of that “advanced” technology that my friend was shown (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground ) was in large measure developed by reverse-engineering “captured” ET craft, but that friend does not even believe in ETs.
4. The primary reason for the ET cover-up is to keep those advanced technologies out of the public’s hands, and that is not to protect humanity from itself, but to keep it enslaved to the global political-economic order, which is headed by an entity that I have called various names, such as Godzilla, the Global Controllers, the Big Boys, etc. (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc ).
As I stated recently, if some ETs showed up at my home, after a minute of surprise, I would ask them what their intention was. If it was not to help our species turn the corner, then I would not want to have much to do with them:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=661804&viewfull=1#post661804
Not all ETs are of benevolent intent, but probably most “negative” ET contacts on Earth are not ET contacts at all, but encounters with Godzilla’s minions who pretend that they are ETs. Godzilla wants more than anything else to control any ET-related information that comes out. If he can’t keep it quiet, then he will do his best to portray ETs as the ultimate “terrorists” and the greatest threat to humanity. According to von Braun, that plan has been in the works for generations, and we are already working through the terrestrial “terrorist” agenda that he spoke of long ago:
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/exopolitica/esp_exopolitics_ZCb.htm
and ETs are up soon as the ultimate bogeyman, and I’ll buy that.
I use the same standard on ET contact that I do for any other group. I have always, always, always primary focused on “us,” not “them,” and “them” includes Godzilla, ETs, and “enemies,” both earthly and otherwise. Once we focus on “them,” then we have given our power away and are playing the victim game. Every response to FE below Level 12 is playing the victim game, in one way or another:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1
Another indisputable aspect of the ET situation, IMO, is that the military response to the ET presence is completely insane, if protecting humanity was the goal. If any of the ET civilizations that are here had hostile intent toward humanity, one of their scout ships could defeat Earth’s combined military might in a few minutes.
I am all for an end to the secrecy, and then we can sort out who is who. The dark path avoids the light, and dark pathers are behind the ET cover-up more than any other group, although they have plenty of dupes amongst humanity, including a close relative of mine who nearly tried to recruit me into the family “business”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia
One of my qualifications is extensive experience in dealing with Godzilla’s minions and other criminals, and I can think of no better advice for dealing with them than what Seth and Jesus have given. Jesus said that by their fruits we will know them, and Seth said that the means become the ends.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist
I have almost never encountered anybody who could withstand the manipulations of Godzilla’s minions for very long, and that is because they all failed the integrity test, being easily defeated by Godzilla’s carrots and sticks:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why
Humanity’s collective lack of integrity is the primary reason why we are in the predicament that we are, and Godzilla, the ETs, and other “outside” forces are so inconsequential as to be meaningless. I only bring them up to acknowledge their existence. People who focus on them as being the source of our problems, or our saviors, are playing the victim game. It is time to play the creator game. :) If 0.0001% of us woke up, it would be game over for all of the dark designs for humanity and the planet, whether they are crafted by “merely” dark path humans or dark path entities that hail from other star systems or dimensions. My game is helping enough of us wake up so that we can understand what is important so we can keep our eye on the ball and not get wrapped up in the million distractions that come our way.
For instance, right now I am being bombarded with emails on the “false flag” aspect of the Marathon Bombings. The evidence for a false flag is equivocal at best, and already I am seeing disinformation being recycled by highly credulous “analysts.” It is all a distraction from what is important, but most on the “fringes” get sucked in effortlessly by the latest circus, whether Godzilla manipulated it into being or not.
I was working on a post on energy and industrial civilization, and I should be able to get it done this morning.
Best,
Wade

Wade, Many thanks! I understand your points and have full agreement with them almost one by one. I wonder, If you have been given the opportunity to (finally) get free energy technology instructed and guided by various groups of Alien race (Their representative showed up at your home: ) with all the implications that comes from it and after your life experiences that you've been through, your childhood dream to change the energy situation of the world and your embracing stance towards it, in exchange to other deal concerning our planet (for example taking minerals, assign some small alien colonies in Africa etc.) can you perheps imagine what would be your response?
This may be a very tough question and I am sorry to put you on this, It is not a right or wrong one, but this scenario is less imagined than what most of us can think and may have actually occured in 1954 between Eisenhower and the greys.
Military and government will no doubt use negative propoganda to try and save themselves, false flag etc. Like a tiger trapped in a corner and will do all they can to survive. Even Paul Hellier implied towards it in his Exopolitics speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcTXuz-7tDU).
Regarding hostile intent towards humanity -
"If any of the ET civilizations that are here had hostile intent toward humanity, one of their scout ships could defeat Earth’s combined military might in a few minutes."
Either that or the story may be something else than what we percieve it to be.
"and I can think of no better advice for dealing with them than what Seth and Jesus have given. Jesus said that by their fruits we will know them, and Seth said that the means become the ends."
Not arguing with Jesus or Seth, but a small upgrade to this may be - "By their energy signature we will know them" , fruits= deeds and that can be misleading sometimes, energy and vibration like finger print never lies.
There is nice spring outside :)

Hi Limor:
Well, you are doing your best to delay my next post! :) I am going to finish my next energy post before I will respond to your latest, but briefly, on my journey, two of my most important lessons were:
1. You do not know how you are going to react to a situation until you are in it, especially the far-larger-than-life experiences of my journey. I have seen lots of big talk on my journey, but almost nobody ever lived up to it. I will answer your query soon, but even people who have been through the meat grinder like me do not know how they will react if somebody delivered FE to their doors, although I have been tested plenty with similar events, so my imagined response is not all some boyish fantasy.
2. Mystical abilities in this field don’t count for much at all. I have seen some of the most mystically accomplished people on the planet be easily duped by Godzilla’s minions. Reading energy signatures won’t get you far in the FE field. The primary attribute needed to navigate the milieu is a pure heart. Everything else, including reading “energy signatures,” is a distant second place. Jesus’s advice is still the best I have seen. It really is pretty simple, and I would never advise somebody to solely rely on their “energy signature” abilities to assess somebody, but the mundane activities of just watching what they say and do. That is by far the best evidence of where their hearts are.
Back to writing.
Best,
Wade

Well, you are doing your best to delay my next post! :)
I can do "better", but I won't, hanging out around this club is more important to me :)
1. You do not know how you are going to react to a situation until you are in it
One hundred percent true.
Reading energy signatures won’t get you far in the FE field. The primary attribute needed to navigate the milieu is a pure heart
I understand what you say, Wade, although pure heart was present in the many who wanted to get on board the ship of 'Ashira, the president of the intergalactic council for a 10 day tour' (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?39800-100-people-invited-to-go-to-mothership-Steve-Beckow) (sigh). good intentions are priceless, but they better come with more tools. the ability to percieve someone else's energy signature may not be something to completely lean on when we are in 3D, but when this tool is developed, it is the closest thing to the truth. I hope we can settle on the combination of both. ~ Limor

Hello Limor,
I'll address your questions as well, delaying Wade's post event further :)
Pure heart is the place to start, but next to that you also need a clear head and some scientific training.
The issue with reading energy signatures is that, at this point in time, you can easily be tricked into a "misread". I suspect this is so, because every reading we do is not pure, but rather filtered and distorted by our various conditioning. At this time on the planet, event a "pure heart" is incredibly difficult to define... Some believe Maria Teresa had a pure heart, and that is very debatable, if you look at "her fruits". Plenty of Americans believe Obama has a pure hear and this energy signature is incredible!
Derren Brown, has a show where he converts a person with a scientific background, from a convinced atheist to having a "divine experience". That was very telling, how easily a well trained manipulator can "hack the human mind", once you know where the buttons are and what combinations to push... Was that experience real? was it divine? My jury is still out on that, but there is plenty of evidence where preachers and other speakers use the power of suggestion to elicit "good feeling" that in the right context may be thought of as "good energy signatures".
So if people today, are unable to follow sources, properly research a fact based on whatever observable data is available, how can you expect them to make a correct "energy read"?
Yes, the heart probably has a sort of "beacon", but that signal has to get trough a lot of "crap" until it gets to our conscious minds... and to ignore this strong filtering and distorting process is very dangerous, IMO.
For further reading about this, I strongly recommend William Sargant's book: "Battle for the Mind". He makes a very strong case that some of our "positive feelings and emotions" are almost "mechanistic" in nature and they can be trigger by someone who knows about this and has the right (mentalist) tools. His writing is a little biased towards US (and so against the communists), but other than that is pretty good! He clearly acknowledges at the start that he will not look as "consciousness" or the "divine spirit", but rather at the strong emotions that can be triggered in us, that are sometimes used to trick us into believed we had a "divide experience" of some kind. So while I believe that we humans have a "divine spark", to me it looks like it is very very deeply buried under a mountain of conditioning that may or many not serve you. Because of that, using the "scientific method" and trying to confirm your "energy read" by looking at the facts (their fruit) is a mandatory practice, in my opinion :).

Hi:
I have written on the energy-intensive process that bacteria and archaea have to engage in to make nitrogen biologically available:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=520372&viewfull=1#post520372
Scientists began to discover ways to artificially fix nitrogen from the atmosphere:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_fixation#Industrial_nitrogen_fixation
and that became the basis for twentieth-century industrial agriculture. I can’t think of an industrial process, from mechanized agriculture to factories to modern housing and transportation, which is not an energy hog. The availability of “cheap” energy, which means the human efforts required to get it, made all of those processes possible. Take away the vast amounts of cheap energy, and it all comes crashing down.
Today, I was reading this article on the collapse of civilizations.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-27/jeremy-grantham-fall-civilizations-and-our-last-best-hope
I was surprised how uninformed it was in places. The USA’s birth rate began declining around 1800, and by 1900 had fallen nearly in half:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition#United_States
not suddenly in 1960. There has been some variation among nations, but the general dynamic is that once infant mortality declined and machines could do the work of people, there was less “need” for slaves, farm hands, and women who spent their lives barefoot and pregnant, and the birth rate also dropped. Childbearing takes a lot out of a woman. Virtually no girl in the West today wants to have eight children when she grows up. I even saw that transition happen in my life. My first girlfriend was a catholic girl, one of seven children, and when we were together as teenagers, she wanted at least five children. Her mother died of abdominal cancer in her fifties when we were together. When she graduated from college, she not only wanted nothing to do with getting married and settling down, but she traveled the world and the last I heard, she still wanted to be a mother, but one child would be plenty. I can understand a woman having all of that procreative equipment and wanting to use it, but it is the rare educated white woman in the West who wants more than a child or two. A woman has vastly more opportunities to live her life than by being a baby machine, and I have seen that trend in my lifetime, although that trend began two hundred years ago, when industrialization began.
And, as usual, do you see even a hint of FE in that article? All so-called alternative energy talk in the West is dominated by people such as Amory Lovins:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
and Richard Heinberg:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#heinberg
At least Heinberg mentions FE, if only to then semi-ridicule it then dismiss it. That is the standard refrain that comes from “progressives” and radicals. They really are not radical. FE is radical, like nothing else could be. More people need to think beyond the box of scarcity, which is really my game.
Today did not go as I had hoped, and I can see the thread racing ahead of me. I am cutting this post short, but tomorrow I will address Limor’s and Ilie’s posts in the detail they deserve. I have been reading a lot of evolution lately, and so-called sentient humans are new phenomenon on the planet, a mere blink of the eye on the geological timescale. Whatever our huge forebrains make possible for us, and I’ll accept that it makes sentience possible, there is such a huge raft of dynamics that mitigates against it that one of my Wade-isms, “semi-sentient,” seems more accurate than I had once thought. It is not easy to become aware on this planet, at this time. It was probably never easy, but the stakes are getting extremely high, and a semi-sentient species that can manipulate its environment can easily take out itself and the ecosphere. I just finished watching Children of Men, for the first time since I saw it at the theater. Talk about a dystopian vision. My wife had not seen it before, and her remark was how the movie did seem all that fictional. I am doing what I can to steer us away from the future. :)
Going to bed now.
Best,
Wade

Limor, Love to You this morning!
...just a thought:
If indeed our higher family and friends are acknowledged by each of us with heartfelt connection, personally, and their direct help matters to us, personally...and if we act with loving intent to materialize this direct help, it will indeed materialize as more of us openly accept their help for the good of all. It is time to imagine them being right here right now right next to us helping us move this all forward...it may seem oversimplified, but I believe they need us to want their help and act upon the very real acceptance of having them right here by our sides.
In essence, we are them and they are us...but we have to open the door wide for this help to procure.
And it only takes enough of us doing this in unison, in the now, for it to be.
...and again, Thank You, Wade, for all you do!

...Some believe Maria Teresa had a pure heart, and that is very debatable, if you look at "her fruits"...
Ilie’s mention of Mother Teresa reminded me of what’s written about her work here : http://www.ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm
I’d quote extracts, but it’s really very short and worth reading in it’s entirety. Some of it is heart-breaking. But whenever the truth is brought to light it’s nourishing to the spirit; because it means we are better able to ask what the real solutions may be, and whether our charitable donations to, or affection for, the Teresas of the world is the good-hearted benevolence we hope it is, or just perpetuating an unnecessary cycle.
Reading that essay really focused my mind. Her name has become synonymous with selflessness for many, to the point that even if someone is not an admirer of every facet of Christianity as an industry / institution they can at least respect the ‘good-hearted works’ of someone like Mother Teresa. I read parts of that Racketeering for Fun and Profit essay to a good-hearted friend some time ago. She had long held an affection for Teresa's reported ‘good works,’ and she was genuinely shocked.
To choose prolonged suffering and death for someone when the technology exists to heal them, is a strange definition of good-hearted, selfless or divine.
We are subtly and overtly programmed with the idea that there is simply not enough to go around. Whilst it’s logical not to be wasteful, it seems illogical for a culture to invest billions working out how to prevent more people from living, and virtually nothing on how to bring an FE technology to the world that would massively reduce the demands our population makes on the earth.
There has recently been debate over a bill in Texas that would give physicians increased power to deny CPR to patients :
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/31/health/state-senate-bill-would-revise-end-of-life-procedure.html
High-profile cultural figures like Bill Gates talk openly about the need to address the population issue. Gates advocates vaccination programmes in Africa. I‘ve read people defend Gates' stance on vaccinations helping reduce the world’s population, as they link it to African women having fewer children as a result of believing their vaccinated children will live longer. But there is significant debate over the content and effects of the vaccines being delivered to Africa and elsewhere, and why they may be contributing to infertility. See this Natural News article here for examples:
http://www.naturalnews.com/026907_food_population_vaccination.html
Every time I come across these kinds of dilemmas relating to population and resources (whether it’s food, land or hospital beds) I think of FE. And it’s been said often enough here how increased quality of living can be linked to population levels stabilising. That’s before you even get to considering the long-term potential of FE which can enable us to mine asteroids for their resources (as O’Leary suggested) and build mother-ships to venture off-world in greater numbers.
Regarding the positive versus negative E.T. debate - I can understand some people’s wariness that allowing ETs to openly assist us with technology might mean we could owe them a debt on levels we have not foreseen. What would be - if any - the hidden price to pay? But with numerous independent earth-born inventors coming up with the seeds of working technology themselves, that’s the area of focus I find of most interest. The fact that it is happening may be what tells us we are, on some level, ready to explore that technology for our collective benefit. Utilising any FE technology we can invent undoubtedly goes hand in hand with exploring the stars (and their surrounding populations), and it will revolutionise our perspectives in countless ways. Personally, I’d like to see us clean up our planet and eliminate poverty first. Which is something new energy solutions can assist, with potentially extraordinary efficiency.
I apologise for preaching to the converted and possibly adding nothing new. (No need to respond Wade; unless you wish to correct something.) But sometimes I just feel compelled to join in.
I’d just like to quote a little extract from Ken Carey’s Return of the Bird Tribes, which I read last week. It’s beautifully written and an enjoyable read. Whether you take his channellings literally or simply as echoes of inner archetypes that assist in creating a soulful overview of our history, they make some pertinent and beautifully worded points. This was not my favourite passage, nor one that I consider to be the most poetic and uplifting, but it speaks to some of our hesitation about technological evolution in a way that makes an interesting case for remembering its benefits, even if ideally we would like to have evolved without doing any harm. Our regret over the ecological damage we’ve done with our technology may have deep-rooted effects on what fears we project onto FE. But FE, of course, with all its never-before-seen positive potential, could be the technological breakthrough that all previous stages were merely leading to. In that context, our industrial waste and its damage, though deeply regrettable, could be viewed as the steep learning curve before we discovered the technology to balance our external creativity with applying it responsibly.
“The domestication of animals and the growing of grains necessitated the development of values other than the values of the predatory hunt or annual raid on the neighbouring village. So to the warrior races, we taught certain arts. The civilisations we initiated in Japan, India, China and elsewhere provided us with educational contexts in which we could introduce values that warrior societies would never develop outside such contexts…”
“…Although it has wreaked havoc with earth ecologies, the Industrial Revolution has been both valuable and necessary. When humankind is healed and we are able to work freely through our species, there is no ecological damage that will not, even before a few centuries, be entirely undone. It is easier to flush toxins from the earth’s river valleys than to remove the toxic ideas that cause them from human minds. In the order of healing, it is human consciousness that must first change.”
(Pg 41-42, Return of the Bird Tribes by Ken Carey, Published by HarperOne)
I’m sorry to chime in with such a long post Wade, but this last line of Carey’s is also the main point I’ve taken from your writings about FE. (I’ll now promptly disappear again for a while and confine my ramblings to my sketchpad.)
In the order of healing, it is human consciousness that must first change.

Thanks above "delay Wade" posters - the rackets, the battle for our semi-sentient minds, who will get CPR and who won't, the kaleidoscope shifts, the particles don't change. (yet we can change...)
"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music." - The Merchant of Venice

Hi all:
I am not sure about the New Testament, but in The Aquarian Gospel, it mentioned more than once where people came to do Jesus harm (as they defended their political-economic ideologies against the affront of Jesus’s “miracles” and unvarnished truth), but Jesus could see into their hearts and so was able to escape them, at least once by simply disappearing. I hear stories, anyway, of Level 19-ish people who can read minds at will and sort out a person’s motivation. Some gurus of the East can apparently do that. But it seems to be a rare talent, and I certainly would not hang my hat on it. I also saw somebody call the Dalai Lama a dark pather because of her infallible energy-signature “detector.” When Dennis was in jail in Ventura:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail
about the only “legitimate” victim was a man who bought our materials, liked them, but when a relative saw a minute of Dennis on tape, he informed the man that Dennis was a crook, as the relative could spot them a mile away with his special powers. That man eventually allowed himself to be manipulated by Mr. Deputy and friends into being a witness for the prosecution. His experience on the witness stand made it clear who the evil-minded people were, and it was a life-changing event for him, and not in a good way, as he discovered that he was abetting evil. In my own journey, I was attacked by that former girlfriend:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&highlight=girlfriend#post578559
because she somehow just “knew” that I was a crook, and I am sure believes it to this day, even though she doubled her money back in a couple of months of attacking me. And I have seen highly-accomplished mystics get sucked right in by Godzilla’s minions, almost effortlessly, and I could not believe my eyes at first. Mystical talent alone does not mean much. It is like being an athlete, artist, or scientist. We all have our particular talents, and the question is what do we do with them, and when it comes time to maneuver in the fields that Godzilla considers his special province, we need all of our awareness, but what is most important is the simple stuff, the things that we were all taught by age five:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#forgetting
That mother ship thread, IMO, I just one of a million examples of gullible New Agers:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?39800-100-people-invited-to-go-to-mothership-Steve-Beckow
Like all of those who planned to get swept up in ascension last year, but are still here, quite unascended. New Agers rarely have much discernment, and I have found them to be like spiritual kindergarteners:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage
I have always said that it starts in the heart, but the head needs to be right behind it. As I have stated, that voice in my head gave me “ideas,” but I am the person who had to do the work, not that voice, and I am not happy with it these days and don’t want to hear from it again:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3
I have seen the same New Agers who tout The Secret also believe all the conspiracist musings and all the fringe stuff such as ET digs and other stuff that does not have a shred of credible evidence behind it.
To Ilie’s mentalist stuff, this goes back to my “semi-sentient” comment yesterday. Mentalists who can play their games and trick or “hack” people are like magicians who work in illusion. The important question is what they use it for. Do we serve others, or ourselves? That is always the most important question:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving
Becoming sentient is no easy trick, not in our world, not with all the ways that people try to use each other and prevent sentience so that people can be controlled and abused. Take the public relations industry and how it has made brainwashing into a science:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bernays
Bernays sold smoking to American women as some badge of freedom, and a few years later was flacking for fluoride, turning an industrial waste into “medicine”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#bernays
Goebbels used Bernays’s work in his campaigns against the Jews, which is ironic in that Bernays was Jewish. Bernays and those like him were very frank on the need to manipulate the public’s mind, because they did not know what was “good” for them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays#Propaganda
The “skeptics” would have us believe that all paranormal phenomena is mentalist stuff, New Ager gullibility, “magic,” a al Randi, and so forth. In this realm, I cannot overemphasize that people need to go get their own experience. Do a remote viewing:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown
and nobody will ever be able to take away your knowledge. As McLuhan showed in his work:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=640317&viewfull=1#post640317
the “skeptics” suffer from the same diseases of mind that they accuse others of, such as gullibility, disregarding or distorting the evidence, highly irrational “thinking,” and so on. To me, these are all just examples of my primary lesson, that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why
That really is the root problem. Everything else is in a distant second place. To eaglespirit’s post, if the ETs want to help, I am all for it. We need it. But the ones that I want to truly help will do it as equals, as eaglespirit stated. I am sympathetic to the ET predicament as I understand it. Help us get over the hump but to also not interfere, although they already have plenty of karmic entanglement with us, and are likely more than a little responsible for the off-world aspect of Godzilla.
To Melinda’s post, a study came out recently that essentially confirmed Hitchens’s charges against Teresa:
http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-02/uk/37389641_1_mother-teresa-vatican-study
I made the Teresa example to show how even the “saintly” operations could fare upon further inspection. The Peace Corps is another:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm#peace
The point of “lifting the hood” on those operations was to give a hint at what organizations officially solely devoted to self-service could be capable of, such as corporations. It led off my essays on the energy, medical, war, and other rackets:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#economic
To Melinda’s Carey post, I read virtually all of Carey’s work long ago, I heard him speak in the mid-1990s, and he comes across as the humble, engaging guy that one would expect, especially one from the Ozarks. I’ll say this about my approach: the conclusions that I came to about the FE conundrum probably had nothing to do with reading work like Carey’s, but was just a perspective that came from being in the trenches for years, and then trying to engage the public and trading notes with people such as Brian O, and seeing where the opportunities and obstacles seemed to be.
Later, when I see such passages from people like Carey that Melinda put up, it makes me wonder about how much our journey has been shepherded and “guided,” if that term can truly be used. And even if it has, I’ll agree that the problem is not about technology, but it is in the human heart and spirit and always has been. But we live in physical reality, and that interaction between spirit and matter is perhaps the key mystery of our existence.
As I stated, I have been reading plenty of evolution over the years, and when reading Darwin or Ward or Lane or Wilson or Knoll, the issue of consciousness is the slippery one. We recently had the continuing spectacle of Hawking stating that scientific theories have done away with the need to have a creator:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=663191&viewfull=1#post663191
And when I see materialistic atheists hold forth like that, it calls to my mind nothing more than blind men stumbling down a blind alley, thinking that they are on the yellow brick road to Oz. Personally, I believe that the consciousness/matter connection (and matter is just a special form of energy) is far too subtle for our instruments of today to detect, if they ever will be. As I stated before, the Silva class is a shadow of its former self, which is too bad. When José died, Silva splintered into various family members taking it this way and that, to its detriment, IMO. So it is, in a world of scarcity.
Obviously, I could write a lot more on those subjects and have, but I wanted to get to Limor’s intriguing question of how I would react if FE was delivered to my home, by an alien no less. :)
Well, maybe it is because I am a man, or maybe the Kool-Aid I grew up drinking, but I am all for openness, candor, and people being informed of what they are getting into before they do. Way too much of this world is involved in hoodwinking people into “deals” that they wished they never had agreed to, such as the cannon fodder that fights America’s imperial wars:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business
or a young, idealistic boy, backed into a corner by a voice in his head who told him to study business:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice
to again ask it for a way out, to then get launched on a life-wrecking adventure that he will spend the rest of his life recovering from:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2
I have doubts about the integrity behind that voice. I am not into “faith” or anybody making decisions for another, even if they are “hints” like I had. One of my favorite passages from Seth was him talking about the Jewish trip, where they were their god’s “chosen people” but then had to go through great suffering as part of the “deal.” Seth said that if a “god” approached him with a “deal” where he would be the chosen one, but would suffer greatly from his chosen-ness, that Seth would ask that “god” if he could not find somebody else who might worthier of such divine attention. :)
So, if ETs showed up at my house to do some deal, the first thing I would do is say that it is a deal that all of humanity should be aware of, before the decision is made. All the cards get put on the table for all to see. Anything less is dishonest, and I will not have anything to do with it. So if the aliens showed up at my house, thinking that I am going to secretly make some decision for humanity, I would tell them that they are talking to the wrong guy. :) That is vastly different than what I am doing with my choir idea.
If they can’t do it in the full light of day with full disclosure, then I don’t want to have anything to do with it. That is another reason why anonymous people will not be part of the choir: it is antithetical to my goals. People are free to go form their own choir of the anonymous, but it is not my trip.
But if I ever have anything to say about how to go about bringing FE to the world, and somebody showed up with a working FE device, it would all depend on the context. An FE device by itself would be meaningless. If somebody just deposited one on my porch, I would call Godzilla up and tell him to come pick it up and put it in his Golden Hoard, and that I had nothing to do with it. But if somebody came with the proper approach – in the light of day, no secrets, no manipulations, and enough people with the right stuff that Godzilla would leave us alone, then I would have some immediate suggestions.
One of the first things would be to ask them about their methods of detecting if FE was weaponized or abused, so that the grandmother peacekeepers could keep everybody playing nicely. For those who are not sure whom I am referring to, somebody like Sandy is whom I have in mind. She and her peers would be empowered to disable the toys of the boys who just can’t play nicely, and Sandy would do everything in her power to get them to play nicely, and her only intervention would be disabling their toys, and might include taking them away and even sequestering them in the place of healing, if they just could not play nicely. That would be the only “coercion” practiced on the Earth that I envision, during the transitional times.
I could write on this for hours, but I have to go to the office.
Best,
Wade

Hi Ilie,
Thank you for your reply on the subject of sensing someone else's energy signature, your thoughts on the subject (As well as Wade's comments in his last post) reminded me that this is not something that is obvious or well implemented, not in a place that recognise only five senses and only jokingly refers to the sixth. But this kind of communication exists, and as with everything else, we might want to acknowledge it first and then become personally familiar with it as a method of language. This is a most important tool and I feel it does not recieve the importance it deserves. If we need to sharpen our senses and excercise it the same way we excercise our thinking and our ability to analyze then so be it. It means that we want to use the part of the mind that percieves as equally as the one that uses logic.
Energy has many layers, it is not about good or bad per se, all spectrum of fragrances are there.
In your post you acknowledged that there are mentalists that can trick the mind and mentioned Whiliam Sargant's book, well, this may very well emphasize it. Our minds can be trigered in certain ways mainly because we can't percieve things the way they are, it may happen to us with ET's, with shills, with "skecptics", with government etc.
I am more and more convinced that this is one of the most important tools that we must develop (if we want to survive and be free), because the lack of this ability is used against us everyday, it should not be a substitute to rationally considering the facts and counting the figures but when those two things work together the rate of success is positively high. In better days, the government still was what it was, but things have looked kind of o.k to us on the surface, later, when we learned to deepen our look and use different set of glasses, what initially appeared as one thing ( based on our logical manner), was exposed as another.
The advancment of using all our senses can only help us in future quest to better our world and to better ourselves with the less possibility of being abused. It was the Greeks who said- "know thyself", It was Jesus who said- "heal yourself" and I am pretty darn sure that Seth have probably said something in that same spirit :)
Hi eaglespirit,
What I became to learn in my own jorney is that any positive help we recieve from our brothers and friends out there comes in the rather subtle way (but no less important) and certainly not where they directly meddling in our affairs, in this case it is a blessing indeed. Those who offer us the fish may require payment one day, those who instruct us on how to get the food ourselves, are familiar with our weakneses, with the fact that we are yet naive, but have no wish to use it against us. These are the ones that we may want to keep close, the others we can respect from a far.
Much love to you eagle ~

I feel the same, Melinda :) There is nothing wrong with getting a few good tips and advices whispered to our ears, It may very well be how we advance in the first place, Have we ever had an outside help during our human history? scientists wake up in the morning with new inventions and solutions in mind, science fiction writers bursting with idea's that come out of nowhere.. but the point is that as the toddlers that we are we need to learn to walk ourselves, with the help of no one, although some whistle of encouragment from the stand and a supporting hand incase of a fall can be really nice.
Hi Wade,
I read your response to my question with interest, and was not surprised, Thank you for putting your thoughts to it. The tendency to adress the common good of all before matrializing your own dream (which also concerns all..) is apparently what always leads you, you know that with this response you may have disqualified yourself from any position in politics : ) However, this may not be of any concern to you at this time, and there is always the option of Exopolitics tomorrow.
Originally posted by Wade Frazier: "But if somebody came with the proper approach – in the light of day, no secrets, no manipulations, and enough people with the right stuff that Godzilla would leave us alone, then I would have some immediate suggestions."
In regards to the previous topic, 'No secrets, no manipulations' can not be figured out by only logically analyzing someones intentions via their words, their deeds and with what they seem to present to us. Being in the presence of those who came from different atmoshperes, realms, echosystem can feel rather unlike what we percieve it to be when we safely sit in the comfort of our homes. In such a case, our state of minds are bound to change as well. The logic is being bend. However, our accute inner senses, if are in tune and developed, can reveal quite a lot and act as a good compass to how we may want to move forward.
Looks like there was an alien invasion into Wade's thread ; )
---------------------
Some feverish thoughts on Free Energy
There's a heat wave in Israel these days, a 36C (97F) which forces me to live in a more slow pace (then the already slow pace I live : ) . The accompanied drowsy thought pattern makes me reflect on how different living conditions and weather patterns greatly influence the way we conduct ourselves. The middle east is not a suitable place for anyone who prefers a more balanced/cold weather instead of having the 'privilege' to be roasted alive. There are seven or more months with not even one drop of rain, an unsolvable water crisis, intolerable humidity in certain places and some extreme dryness in others.
My ancestors came from Europe and genetically I feel I belong there. The last summer after I began reading this thread and when I entered 'Wade's world' I started reflecting more about how we utilize energy, then decided to avoid using the aircondition as much as I can. I managed to cut two thirds of my use and I intend to do so this year as well. There are some days in July and August which are almost unbearable to try and survive without aircondition, but my conscience is agonizing me whenever I ponder about the heavy exploitation of our surrounding,
The considerable amount of energy required to help me and others to cool ourselves (a necessity, belive me!) via the pressing of a button on the remote control (EROEI?) as well as the complete set of profits from corporation abuse are the reality consequence of this imperative need.
Thinking about it helps me to understand the urgent Necessity in energy which is not based on the utlization of resources and which exempts us from being held by privetly owned business coroporations where their 'vision' is to maximize their profits with no regards to the welfare of the planet on which we live on or to the occupants and inhabitants on that same place.
The solution of Free Energy is a dream come true in so many ways, but in these days of intense heat, where I sit and think about the implications of using my air condition and where my personal perspective is so narrowly focused on only one thing, I can recognize the tremendous potential of positive change that this kind of technology may bring to the world, to it's inhabitants, to nature, to my country, to my neighborhood and to my household (in this order of things). And I want it.

Hi:
This is my last week of work before my sabbatical. As I think is becoming clear, if it was not long ago, developing a comprehensive perspective means taking it all in. From science (including biology, physics, astronomy, thermodynamics, anthropology, geology, chemistry), to economics, to politics, to history, to spirituality, to ETs, to sociology, to media studies - they are all connected. While nobody can become an expert in all of them, to understand their rudiments well enough so that their relationships can be seen and sorted out is key to developing a comprehensive perspective. Also, what becomes evident is a ranking of the dynamics. From the beginnings of the universe to USA’s imperial wars and its latest “terror” incident, it is all riding on the energy situation.
I have stated before that our scientists really don’t know what light is, what gravity is, what magnetism is, or, really, what energy is. None of the fundamental components of the universe are really understood by science. Scientists can measure their effects (in terms of other effects), and develop theories on how they act and interact, but any scientist worth his or her salt admits that we really don’t know any of it is.
At its essence, energy seems to be motion. The definition of temperature is the motion of atoms:
http://www.temperatures.com/wit.html
and an atom is made of particles that are comprised of energy, which interact in ways that still baffle scientists, although they think they understand the rudiments. Except that in an atom operating at the lowest temperature imaginable (called absolute zero), the electron still orbits the nucleus at a sizable fraction of the speed of light. Pretty much all FE theory that I am aware of is about tapping the energy field that still exists at absolute zero, and one term is called the zero-point field (ZPF). White scientists even acknowledge the zero-point field’s existence, but state that there really is not anything there to farm. People such as Sparky Sweet knew better:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet
but when Sparky began mailing working prototypes of his FE device to the big energy institutions, Godzilla got active, and Sparky came to a lonely and grim end:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky
as have many FE inventors and theorists. The “lucky” ones took the money and wore golden handcuffs for the rest of their lives:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make
while the recalcitrant ones like Sparky received different treatment, but none have ever been allowed anywhere close to bringing their FE pigs to market. But there has been increasing dissension in Godzilla's ranks for generations now, and a “lucky” few have had some of Godzilla’s Golden Hoard demonstrated to their wondering eyes:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
Those demonstrators are likely members of Godzilla’s organization who are disenchanted with the program of power over humanity even if it means destroying Earth, and there is no doubt about it, humanity is destroying its nest, the only one for light years in every direction.
This destruction is not some new phenomenon, but humans have been destroying their home ever since they learned to control fire long ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#cooking
Humanity’s destruction of the planet has been about fire ever since. Controlling fire enabled humans to pre-digest their food, which likely led to our large brains, which allowed us to spread across the planet. The first thing that we did was use up our food supply, which was originally all of the large animals that roamed Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5
After our ancestors killed off all the easy meat, they then learned to domesticate plants, animals, and people. Everywhere that agriculture began, cities were not far behind, and social stratification began, with professions, elites, slaves, and the diminishment of the status of women, which was never all that high to begin with, just like it has always been with all of the great apes, except where the females took over, in our closest cousins:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#bonobo
and the killer ape mentality of males was tamed.
Humans did not invent the energy game, but it has been played since the very beginning of life on Earth. The greatest energy innovation was the first, when life created enzymes that made the chemical reactions necessary to fuel life millions of times faster:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=520372&viewfull=1#post520372
Without enzymes, there would likely not be life as we know it. But life itself kept “innovating,” although most White Scientists adhere to a theory that there was no conscious intent behind any of it, although the more enlightened ones leave the topic alone:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn2
realizing that their discipline is not equipped to answer that question, and the best of them realize that something a lot more than meets the eye or the instruments of White Science is happening:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical
The second greatest innovation of life was “learning” how to capture the sun’s energy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=519314&viewfull=1#post519314
Without capturing the energy of sunlight, life on Earth would have been a short-lived phenomenon, or would be confined to some subterranean microbes. But that light-capturing life kicked off a multi-billion-year cycle that continues, and life began to alter Earth’s surface in myriad ways. Perhaps most importantly, that light-capturing life learned how to split water, and Earth’s atmosphere was slowly filled with oxygen, which did a few things. One was that that increasing oxygen created the ozone layer, which absorbed ultraviolet light, which was so powerful that it literally ripped life apart. Another key aspect of the Great Oxygenation Event is that the atmospheric oxygen and ozone layer prevented its water from being lost to space like it was on Venus and Mars. Without water, there would definitely not be any life as we know it. Also, the oceans hydrated Earth’s crust, and the relatively heavy crustal rocks (basalts) were combined with the water of the oceans, and that light rock, known as granite today, floated on the heavier crustal rocks and forms the continents today. Without the oceans, there would likely not be land poking out above them. How is that for strange dependencies?
Oxygen is a highly reactive element, and was poisonous to the early life forms. The increasing atmospheric oxygen content provided by photosynthesis likely initiated Earth’s first and greatest extinction event, which was the death of all anaerobic life on Earth’s surface. But life learned to adapt, which was always life’s greatest virtue, and that adaptation is called evolution today. Some life forms evolved to take advantage of that oxygen, and a form of respiration was invented that generates nearly twenty times the energy that anaerobic processes do, and oxygenic respiration made complex life possible:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=520874&viewfull=1#post520874
That oxygenation of the atmosphere was related to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and as the carbon dioxide was removed by that light-capturing life, which is the key gas for keeping Earth’s atmosphere relatively warm, the first ice age began:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huronian
although a competing theory is that reduced carbon dioxide from volcanoes may have been responsible, but in either case, a reduction in carbon dioxide is thought to be primarily responsible.
That oxygenation event also changed the composition of the continents and ocean. One side-effect was the oxygenation of the ocean. Life, through either the oxygen in the oceans, or as a direct effect of certain types of photosynthesis, removed dissolved iron from the ocean:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banded_iron_formation#Relation_to_atmospheric_oxygenation
and those iron deposits are what humanity has been mining for the past few thousand years. Iron combined with oxygen is the easiest iron ore to refine, as life already did most of the work. The same goes for aluminum, in that aluminum combined with oxygen is the easiest (least amount of energy used) to refine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauxite
Once complex life adopted oxygenic respiration, it has been “all-in” ever since, and complex life without oxygenic respiration is likely not possible on this planet, because nothing generates more energy, which the many moving parts of complex life require. Crashing oxygen levels on Earth, related to Earth’s geophysical processes, have coincided with the mass extinction events of complex life, and a recent theory is that the complex life forms that best adapted to low oxygen levels are those that not only avoided the mass extinction events, but they also dominated the next phase of life on Earth:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=635702&viewfull=1#post635702
So, with the constantly moving continents, with oxygen crashes and ice ages, with progressive carbon dioxide starvation of the atmosphere, which has been declining virtually without interruption for the past 150 million years, with asteroid impacts and volcanic events, life has been thrown plenty of curves to adapt to, and the five previous mass extinction events of complex life:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event#Major_extinction_events
“weeded out” life that could not adapt. There is an ongoing mass extinction event that humans have been responsible for, beginning about 50,000 years ago in Australia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_megafauna
and continuing to the present day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_extinction_event
Today, one-quarter of Earth’s mammal species and one-eighth of all bird species face extinction in my lifetime:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=561572&highlight=eighth#post561572
Even going back for the 50,000 years when it really began in earnest, there has been no more abrupt extinction episode in Earth’s history, except for the asteroid impact which is the leading candidate for the extinction of the dinosaurs, with birds the only surviving member of those awesome life forms that have captured the imaginations of children for the past century.
As humans began to domesticate plants and animals, they rarely engaged in “sustainable” practices, with all civilizations having “Peak Wood,” “Peak Soil,” and “Peak Water” episodes that were succeeded by the demise of the civilizations, as their resource base diminished, either through the vagaries of climate, some brought on by the human practices themselves, or the forest and soils that supported the civilization were wrecked by human activities.
That destruction is starkly evident with the first cities in the Fertile Crescent, where seashore communities lie more than a hundred miles inland today, in deserts buried in silt, all caused by those “civilized” activities of humans:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554340&highlight=eridu#post554340
Another primary cradle of civilization, the Mediterranean region, has undergone many civilizations rising and falling, and deforestation and erosion accompanied all of them, with silt-buried cities all along periphery, from Greece, to Northern Africa to the Italian Peninsula:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=554265&highlight=olive#post554265
They all burned through the forests and soils of the region, collapsing when the exploitable energy ran out. Rome was the zenith of such practices, with its soldiers conquering lands and peoples and raping them to the benefit of Rome.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=556983&highlight=dixon#post556983
Rome was a huge parasite, with forests, food, slaves, and animals disappearing into its maw. Its plunder moved in concentric circles, first conquering the Italian Peninsula, then the neighboring islands, and then Greece, Spain, and Northern Africa, to dominate the entire Mediterranean basin. It began to plunder the forests northward, as the industries of the day had to keep moving as the forests were exhausted:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=568364&viewfull=1#post568364
They conquered and plundered all the way to England, the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, and hundreds of miles up the Nile. Elephants, hippopotami and other African megafauna became extinct in Northern Africa due to Rome’s rapacity. Lions once roamed Greece, until the Romans rendered them extinct:
http://www.platos-academy.com/archives/lions_in_ancient_greece.html
One way to describe humans has been to call them energy windfall opportunists, where they plunder one energy resource until it is gone, and then move on to the next one to plunder. It is hard to argue against that perspective. But the plundering was always short-lived, as civilizations continually collapsed as they ran out of energy.
After “Peak Megafauna” globally, and “Peak Wood,” “Peak Soils,” and “Peak Water” locally, humans learned to harness wind and water power, and that helped lead to the rise of Western Europe, and their harnessing of the winds and currents of the oceans, along with their highly militant technology and ideologies, allowed them to easily conquer the world. Then they had “Peak People” in the New World, before they were all used up in mining and plantation operations, abetted by the diseases that the filthy Europeans brought with them:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=656277&highlight=plantation#post656277
The expansion of Europe also led to a brief “Peak Fur” period:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#fur
until the fur-bearing animals were rendered extinct:
and there was a brief period of “Peak Whales”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling
until they were all brought to the brink of extinction. There were very brief “Peak Passenger Pigeon” and “Peak Bison” periods, before they were decimated:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=659261&highlight=passenger#post659261
As England began to join Europe’s imperial fray to conquer the world, they began to use coal for energy on their deforested island, and it led to the Industrial Revolution:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=653078&viewfull=1#post653078
There were many upshots of the Industrial Revolution. One was that humans became vastly more productive economically. The human standard of living grew by leaps and bounds, riding on the vast energy surplus provided by burning coal:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
In 1859, another fossil fuel began to be exploited, oil:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=660425&highlight=1859#post660425
and in the succeeding 150 years, about half of Earth’s oil deposits have been burned:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=573798&highlight=1859#post573798
and the next big resource depletion event is upon us, with “Peak Oil” rearing its head. When Athens and Rome burned through their forests and soils, they began to get economical, and the first homes with a solar-orientation are found in the waning days of those civilizations. All civilizations had their resource-depletion crises as they were on their way to collapse, and we are seeing the early stages today. The West has been meddling in the Middle East for the past century, and has a vast military presence there today, to seize and control the oil:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=651262&highlight=navy#post651262
and the latest version of Rome, the USA, has been leading the rape of the Middle East:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292

as the energy junkies look for their final fix. The perspective that humanity is nothing more than a huge energy sponge, using it all up until it and everything around them is destroyed, is hard to argue against, as is the idea that few humans are really sentient, plundering to the very end, playing their egocentric games while it all collapses.
There is a way out, however, to break these immensely destructive cycles, but it means becoming a truly sentient species. That is my game, and I have tried to scale the ramparts, to only get the hot oil poured on my head:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr
So, I am trying something different in my last years on Earth, which is the sentience route, and I look for people willing to wake up to sentience and abundance. So far, it has been a walk in the desert, with almost nobody on Earth really caring beyond the short horizon of their immediate economic gratification and survival, while the Titanic is blithely heading toward that iceberg. Will enough of us wake up in time? That is really the key question to the continued survival of human civilization, if not our species itself.
After this week, I will be getting fairly quiet at Avalon as I work on many bucket-list tasks, which primarily includes working on a comprehensive essay, which I have been outlining on this thread since July:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=518761&viewfull=1#post518761
The essay will be a much more honed effort, and will go into several areas that I have sketched on this thread in some depth, but the gist of it is to help people develop a comprehensive perspective, because once enough of us do, we will be in position to make a dent, and that dent will begin with a high-level conversation amongst the people who have done their homework and will be able to sing the abundance song, which is entirely dependent on energy abundance. If energy abundance does not happen first, the rest is simply not possible.
There will be various stages of the transition from scarcity to abundance:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance
and the ultimate outcome can look a lot like heaven on Earth:

Funny you should bring up the cow pie thing again....
I was travelling between two big cities today on a local bus and as we were passing through one of the small villages en route I saw a women selling cow pies by the side of the road. She had about 2 dozen of them. Making sure I wasn't seeing things, I turned to the local guy sitting beside me and asked him why that women was selling cow sh*t? "Fuel" he replied, seemingly confused as to why I had to ask.
I explained to him that in my country we mainly use oil, gas and coal for fuel, not cow sh*t. He told me India is a poor country and many people cannot afford the expensive fuel we use, which was why they use the cow pies. I asked him how much they cost and he said that it depended on the diameter but usually around 3 rupees/pie (about $0.05).
The locals apparently make them in the dry season so they have a store of them ready for when the monsoon season hits, when its too wet to dry the pies out. They are mainly used for cooking he told me, to heat the pan for making 'chapatis', one of their staple foods.
So there you have it straight from the horses mouth (or cow's arse :) )
I didn't mention anything about free energy to him :p

They have a team of scientists and engineers who choose a Free Energy device behind the bar. I see only way to bring out Free Energy technologies is to disclose everything and to create a framework anybody uses it as is. Open Source development model is ideal. They should find brilliant scientists and let them write documents that explain why some FE technologies are possible according to laws of physics.

Hi David:
When I recently told my wife about the cow-pie fights and how stacks of cow pies sat behind the restaurants for cooking fuel, she said that no wonder food poisoning and diseases are rampant there. I imagine that there are cow-pie-acquiring armed robberies in India, and just imagine, you industrialized peoples, about people fighting over who gets the sh*t. And when you put a price tag on it, it becomes people fighting over nickels lying in the street, and nickels made of sh*t. At least they are not fighting over human waste to burn. That would make the East Asian night soil practice seem positively floral.
When I hear comfortable Westerners say stuff such as, “Don’t do anything, just change your perspective!” or “Let’s all just meditate, and all will be well,” those are fat, comfy people saying that, and their real message is, “I got mine, screw them, and stop rocking the boat!” Whenever you really get down to it, they are arguing for scarcity, usually somebody else’s scarcity. I see it as just one more of the million flavors of lack of integrity, but dressed up in “mystical” clothes.
I have close relatives who lived in Africa in the 1970s, near Nairobi, which was the “nice” part of tropical Africa to live in forty years ago, and my relatives were burglarized, but the burglars were not interested in their Western gear, but the theft was of food, linens, and other necessities. The vast majority of comfy Westerners have literally no idea what the colonized peoples have endured and continue to endure under the imperial boot. I can hardly find a white person who even cares. If Hollywood ever makes a movie about people in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere, it is always in the context of the White Man’s world, usually with a White Man rescuing the natives. It is a variation of the cowboy movie theme, and speaks volumes about who we are in the West.
Hi Limor:
The issue of our personal needs and trying to make a dent in the energy paradigm can be confusing for people, and I have seen all sorts of responses as people try to find balance in this, but it is not always easy to achieve. If I were you, I would not try to intentionally suffer by having the air conditioning off, or using it only in an emergency. That you are simply lending your awareness to this issue is making a far larger dent in the situation than all of your suffering could do. In my life, I do what I reasonably can in my life, living in the West, living in a big city. I know that every gallon of gasoline that I put in my car has a little blood in it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#responsibility
I know that all of that great organic produce in my grocery store was primarily raised and picked by poor Mexicans, on land wrested from nature. I think about it every time I buy my food and put gas in my tank. I shop at a grocery store that will not carry products that use animal experiments in their production, and they at least try to fairly compensate the workers in their product chain, and I refuse to take any discounts at the cash register, which has given my grocery store thousands of extra dollars over the years. It is one of my tithes. But there is really no quality vegan footwear available in the USA, and PETA only sells clown shoes that announce to the world that the shoe is vegan (that adolescent attitude, once again), so my shoes have some leather in them, but I do my best to minimize any animal products in my life. But I have found that I need to choose my battles. I break down all of the family waste, to recycle as much as possible, but I know that it is all inconsequential beside helping make FE happen. I have always refused to work for “defense”-related industries, and I won’t work for land-raping companies, such as the timber or mining companies, of which there are plenty around where I live. I take the bus to work. People would probably consider me pretty green, but I don’t do anything that makes me unnecessarily suffer. A little consideration and awareness here and there can go a long way. But if I did all the things that an “enlightened” person would do, such as grow my own food, walk everywhere, and so on, I would not be living a life that makes my posts at Avalon and other FE-related work possible, and I know that everything else that I could ever do with my life pales beside even contributing 0.0001% of the effort needed to FE get past the public’s inertia and the organized suppression.
I don’t know if that helps.
Yes, the issue of having spiritual radar can be important. More than one mystical source says that developing it may be a key to turning the corner. Long story on my experiences with Godzilla’s minions and how they duped people. Let’s just say that they can be very good at what they do. If we go 4-D, it will be like living on the astral plane, where nobody can hide who they really are, which is why in 4-D, a planet is all of the light or darkness, unlike here in 3-D, because everybody knows who is who. Dark pathers cannot dupe people in 4-D, not like they can here.
Hi Hughe:
I have been writing about Thrive plenty on this thread:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621892&viewfull=1#post621892
The bottom line is that they don’t have the right stuff, not to try to play on Godzilla’s turf, which is their stated aim. Anybody who promotes lies about people, and then proudly defends their total disregard for the facts when called on it, will not last ten seconds on that field of play. My primary lesson, that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why
was not given as an indictment of humanity, but seeing how that lack of integrity doomed the aspirants. I have stated it plenty before; if somebody wants to play the FE game, and really play it, with an eye toward helping FE get across the finish line, they need the virtue of a saint, the vision of a prophet, the patience of a hunter, the courage of a warrior, and other qualities. Not because they are nice qualities to have, but because anything less is doomed to failure, and on that field of play, failure means a wrecked and possibly prematurely terminated life. I learned those lessons on the high road to FE. And almost no FE newbie ever understands, and few seem to want to, which is a big reason why I am not involved with any FE efforts these days. I have not seen many with the right stuff. For every contender, there are a thousand pretenders. Of the few that might have the right stuff, I have seen plenty of naïveté and inexperience. That is no crime. I started out naïve and inexperienced myself, but I can’t afford to watch others learn the same potentially fatal lessons, or especially go through those bloody trenches again with some newbies that need to learn the hard way, if they survive the experience. There are safer ways to begin to learn how the world really works. Once through the meat grinder was enough for me. :)
I have constantly stated that no FE effort with capitalist aspirations has a prayer, and going open source is definitely a step in the right direction, but it is just a step:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#develop
So, I’ll give a nod to such a strategy, but the Thrive people do not have either the discernment or integrity to get ten feet down the FE path before they become a snack for Godzilla or the lower-level predators. I have seen way too much blood already. When people like them sally forth, I really don’t want to watch.
On current events, I recently watched Oblivion:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)
and at least the theme of raping Earth for its energy gets some play in our culture, when we are talking about the big picture. That movie was an allegory of the English invasion of North America, but in real life, the natives lose. :(
Time to go play husband.

Sort of dovetailing (well, I'll force the segue) with the Thrive Movement and Foster Gamble is his attachment to the Libertarian rhetoric. Under the banner of "Liberty!" (which, of course, we all want) is hidden that exact same "I got mine, now you go get yours and I won't try to take it away from you." nonsense. It only can be stated by someone of means (even what we might call "lower middle class" is a person of means to 90% of the world) - no poor person could logically embrace a Libertarian outlook which is based on perhaps less piggy divisions of all the land and resources, but still based on divisions, based on ownership, based on scarcity. It is that insidious scarcity-embracing via personal abundance. Dragging Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi into the Thrive/Gamble flavor of kinder/gentler, vonMises-based capitalism and Liberty!-based meme using the "principle of non-violation" phrase to sweeten the allure is really bothersome to me.
It is as if a group of kids playing marbles agree not to steal each other's marbles, rather than throwing them all in a sack when done and distributing them at the next time they want to play marbles. That is the highest level of advancement they have achieved - and now they have grown into adulthood and still feel that is the greatest achievement. Its hierarchical, class-based, still well within the haves and have-nots realm... and they can't even see it. It is obvious that they have spent no time (or no productive time) envisioning abundance. They don't know that abundance liberates and makes "non-violation" moot for physical stuff. And, I believe it could be argued that the "rape culture" is born from the scarcity paradigm as well.
Oh I'm prattling on, but wanted to say a special thanks for elucidating your point that I quoted.

Well I just lost my long post, so the message is keep it short I think ?
Great bunch of posts with much diversity in topics which goes to prove we have a number of generalists in progress, teaching each other through question and answer......................love it, as it sure helps me to define and balance self more and more.
Just wanted to add that we do need balance in all things IMO and must not forget the self as we search for never ending knowledge about the mysteries of life and our experiences here as Human Beings....................the key word being, BEINGS. The awareness and knowledge of self in all our BEINGS, is key to heart intelligence and integration. Incorporation and cooperation within the sciences, mystical, intellectual and emotional maturation is a must in balancing our process of becoming generalists IMO.
I have been super busy and given many a challenge to working on this balance as of late. Hermit-ville has now become grand central station or should a say SERVICE station. Opening the self to family has brought a niece and 5 month old baby to town to live. She has exited an abusive relationship and is starting all over again with a new baby at the age of 42 and has burned so many bridges that her support network is non existent in her old world so I may be her last vestige of such. For the next 5 weeks I have 2 extra dogs (15 year old with cataracts, deaf and arthritis and a 8 year old in diapers due to bladder issues) while my sister travels to Ireland, Scotland and England. AND to top it all off, the damn has broken as far as spring weather and the basement is doing it's flooding thing but my sump pump broke Saturday so double the swabbing until the plumber could get here this afternoon!!
I just kept telling myself BALANCE and RESPONSIBILITY as I took this all on but didn't expect it all to arrive at the same time!!!! Spring was suppose to be almost over by the time the dogs got here and my niece was a total surprise announcement a few weeks ago and as the Universe would have it there was subsidized housing available in my town so here she is :)
So forget the Priestess stuff as it is very apparent I here to be of service :) and one day would love to be of service in the Granny Brigade of transition to Abundance for all!!

This is the reality of the world we live in and seeing stuff like that is one of the reasons I travel as much as I do to third world and developing nations. As a privileged Westerner, you get a very valuable alternative perspective on things. For many of the young Westerners i meet, India is their fist experience of the third world and its amusing to see them walking around with shell shocked expressions on their faces. Most dont last very long here because the truth is too much to bear.
The environment in these places is the perfect breeding ground for all manner of diseases. Hygiene is appalling. As I mentioned before, soap and toilet paper are luxury items here. With FE there will be a massive reduction in disease carrying species such as flies, mosquitos, rats and cockroaches that thrive in the conditions third world towns and cities provide them with.

Hi:
Great posts, people. To Dennis’s post, yes, there is a silver-spoon-ish naïveté to Foster’s work that does not work on several levels, and that lack of discernment (at best!) of publishing a lying attack on Dennis dooms his efforts (that kind of behavior is only symptomatic of deeper problems), if he really thinks that he can play on Godzilla’s turf. I see that all the time among Westerners.
One of the great failings of white, Western, do-gooders is that they want to dictate to the world’s poor how they should go about their business, treating them like children. “Save the rainforest!” say fat Americans, whose ancestors leveled the world’s greatest temperate forest in history’s most spectacular deforestation. The rainforest is being wrecked primarily because of the West’s demands and manipulations, which few Westerners can even fathom, nor do they want to, because they would then have to accept some responsibility for the rapacious system that gives them their comfy lives.
As I have mentioned, virtually none of my “peers” – white, educated American men – can read more than a few pages of my site without blowing a gasket. When one of my college professor buddies reads this section to his classes:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress
his students stagger out of class like they have been poleaxed.
That friggin’ voice in my head, telling me to go into business, and then I got out of school during the worst recession in forty years, and then was pretty much forced to live in an urban hell for years, was part of the “tough love” of whoever sent me here. My days in Skid Row, auditing sweat shops and factories that the INS could have raided with regularity and gotten quite a haul of illegals:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&highlight=mexican#post406928
was a real eye-opener for me, as I glimpsed the lives of the urban poor, and these were the poor who lived in the world’s richest nation. They were the “winners” from where they came from. No cow-pie factories in their lives. Being thrown into a situation where I rescued a hooker:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406934&viewfull=1#post406934
and other situations from those years were preparation for meeting Dennis, I now know. If not for those years in the trenches, I would not have been able to engage in the last twenty-five years of study in anything like the way that I did, and my days with Dennis would have been a very different experience, if they would have happened at all. I still get clueless people around me who think that all that I know comes from books. When I hear that, I sigh. Virtually nobody understands.
David’s Sh*t Factory pictures will become immortal now. :)
Sandy, my darling, it looks like your hermit days are over for now. It sounds like you enjoyed them while they lasted, and call me envious. :) During my days of being in meditation, spirituality, and channeling groups, I found that when somebody devoted themselves to the “spiritual” path, or a path of service, then all hell would break loose in their lives. Be careful what you wish for, is all I can say. :) But we are all where we need to be, or so the spooks tell me, and you have announced yourself as a beacon, if only in your heart. You put out a welcome mat, and here they come. :) You are doing the work, and good luck with your flooded home.
I will be winding down this narrative that I began in July, and I hope that the next several posts are focused in energy, economy, and environment. For the past several years, I have been reading a great deal of material on energy, economy, environment, and the human journey. There are many perceptive writers on the topic, but I have yet to really find one that was not wearing blinders of one type or another, except for maybe Bucky Fuller. I am currently reading some of Vaclav Smil’s work, and while it is multidisciplinary, it falls far short of a comprehensive perspective and kind of hails from the white-bread end of the political-economic spectrum. And, of course, Bill Gates endorses his work:
http://www.thegatesnotes.com/Topics/Energy/Important-Books-About-Energy-by-Vaclav-Smil
As with virtually all such academics, FE is not even on his list of possibilities. I have found that blindness to be far from limited to FE and its reality, but there is a general stunting of perspective that pervades their work, a kind of small-ball view that does not begin to see the big picture. They have not developed radical perspectives, which life at the university or in corporate America never really encourages.
Virtually all such historical surveys reach the present day with an “Oh, sh*t. How the heck will we find our way out of this mess?” Again, it is pretty easy to see how we are sailing off the cliff as a species. Any physical scientist with a clue can see it in what we are doing to the environment, and it is easy to see the race of catastrophes, where acidifying the oceans and raising them through carbon-dioxide-induced global warming, as well as wiping out the forests, the species, the soils, at a breakneck pace, as if humanity yearns for its self-destruction, can wreck the planet before we run out of hydrocarbon energy.
Any economist who deals in real-world measures, who refrains from boiling everything down into money so he can feed it into his computer models, can easily see the brick wall ahead. Strangely, somebody like Julian Simon understood part of the issue, which was that human ingenuity and initiative is our way out, but Simon worshipped the very system that prevented human ingenuity and initiative from being able to make a dent:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#julian
Godzilla’s mere existence blows the minds of somebody like Simon, so Godzilla’s very existence is dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” if it is acknowledged at all. Julian Simon hailed from Level 1 with his worship of capitalism:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1
A Smil, Heinberg, and the rest of the energy academics fall into the “laws of physics” camp, dismiss the organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory,” and are among the most entrenched Level 3s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3
Even a parent of the Open Source movement is a standard Level 3 guy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=623703&viewfull=1#post623703
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm
but he is in good company:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#circular
These are all examples of the deserts that people such as Brian and I trudged through for many years. After getting a permanent hairdo change from the wind of all the doors slamming in his face:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
Brian began to openly wonder if we are a sentient species:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience
A few years later, after digesting Bucky’s work:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
it hit me one day that we were seeing a generalized addiction to scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
and I eventually came to understand how deeply-baked the scarcity paradigm is, and how virtually everybody averted their eyes and refused to even glimpse abundance, or if they did (few are ever brave enough to), they immediately launched into it, trying to drag their scarcity-based baggage with them (Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11). We can’t get to abundance by dragging the baggage of scarcity with us. I learned that one over many years in this milieu, while in the trenches, or helping from the fringes, or watching from a distance.
Again, I don’t kid myself that people like Ilie are standing on every street corner. Virtually every last soul on Earth today grooves to the song of scarcity, and even a few notes of the abundance song scares them. But there will be some one-in-thousands, who have been yearning for that song their entire lives, and my goal is getting enough people like Ilie singing the notes, and then it will reach those other needles in haystacks, and like a magnet, enough will come together so that we are not taken out one at a time by our family, friends and colleagues, as they try to force us back into the herd. That is the biggest danger, not Godzilla. If enough can break free of the herd, Godzilla’s organized suppression will be easily overcome. As I continue to stress, the heavy lifting is now, to break free of the scarcity-based chains on our hearts and brains. If enough of us can do that, making FE and abundance a daily reality on this planet will be child’s play. Only when the masses can see it with their own eyes:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli
will they even begin to imagine it. That is just what it is, a lesson that it took me many years to learn. The primary way that my path will fail is if I just cannot find enough of those needles. What I have merely written on this thread since July is enough for somebody who wants to do the work. My upcoming essay is just intended to make the experience a little easier.
Time for work.

Hi:
Again, I am reading Smil’s work, but he comes across a little like Julian Simon:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm
at times. Here Smil is saying that Peak Oilers need to face reality:
http://www.american.com/archive/2013/february/memories-of-peak-oil
http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=22886
http://www.aei-ideas.org/2010/09/peak-oil-and-the-doomsday-myth/
He even calls them cultists, while he promotes abiotic oil theory in his books. Global production of conventional oil peaked in 2006. In a book I am reading of Smil’s from 2003, he scoffed that the peak of North Sea production would come when the Peak Oilers said, and he touted the year 2000’s record North Sea production, ending the sentence with an exclamation point (Energy at the Crossroads, p. 198). It turns out that what he touted was in fact the peak, with Norway peaking in 2000, and the UK in 1999:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicting_the_timing_of_peak_oil#Peak_oil_for_individual_nations
Production has plummeted since then, with North Sea production predicted to fall to about of a third of its 1999-2000 peak by 2020. The record-breaking production that Smil is so happy about is due to that dregs-sucking activity, such as mining the tar sands, going after shale oil, fracking and the like, with the EROI plummeting for all of that marginal “oil.” And all of the exclamation points in Smil’s writings have the air of a cheerleader. With high enough oil prices, plenty of interests are going after those dregs. This activity dovetails perfectly with Peak Oil theory, so I am not sure what the Peak Oilers got wrong. While Smil ranks on the Peak Oilers, he appeared to be strangely silent on the BP Gulf Spill.
He was smoking dope when he claimed that global warming stopped:
http://deepclimate.org/2009/10/19/vaclav-smil-no-global-warming-in-past-ten-year/
and his reading of the USA’s treatment of Iraq left a lot to be desired.
I am more than a little disappointed. When I got his books (they have been sitting in my library for several years, waiting to be read), I thought that he was more impartial. I have a number of energy and humanity books that were written by right-wingers, which may have a stray fact or two that I can use, but their deep bias makes their work highly suspect. Smil’s books are chocked full of facts, but now I am getting wary of them. He looks like another spin-meister. That said, I will use his work a little. Many of his stats are close enough for me to make my points.
Here is something that I saw today, which is a nugget from the past:

Hi:
Smil’s obvious biases aside, his books are filled with fun facts. In 2000, the world consumed 25 times the “energy industry” energy than it did in 1900. A Boeing 747 flying across the USA generates 45 times the energy that a transcontinental train did in 1900. Part of the story is increasing energy efficiency, with today’s industrial societies between two and three times as efficient as they were 100 years ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
That vast increase in energy use is what makes our modern world possible. Take the energy away, and it all comes crashing down. Smil tried to make the case that economy and energy and did not have a linear relationship, and tried to show how nations like Canada and the USA were relatively profligate in their energy use, while Japan was more efficient, but it was really on the level of quibbling.
I am going to produce some graphs from Smil’s Energy at the Crossroads to make my points, but a few concepts first. As I have stated, boiling everything down to money can make for highly misleading economic analyses, but GNP has some validity, and there is a measure called purchasing power parity (PPP) which attempts to remove the monetary bias toward the rich nations. The rich nations can rig the game (also called “setting the terms of exchange”), so an apple, for instance, may cost twice as much in relative monetary terms in a poor nation as a rich one, so PPP is an attempt to bake out that monetary bias. Energy intensity is a concept that measures how much energy is input to achieve a unit of GNP. In the images below, the one labeled “energy intensity and GNP” looks very similar to the one I created on my site more than a decade ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#economics
If you look at the USA and China, for instance, you see the energy intensity is almost identical for each of them, even though the average American is vastly wealthier than the average Chinese citizen. Smil’s graph did not have it, but mine produced Bangladesh, one of the world’s poorest and most miserable nations, which is a direct result of centuries of British exploitation:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal
The energy intensity of the USA and Bengal is almost identical. If you look at Smil’s graph, from the richest to poorest nations, the energy intensity is remarkably similar. The only exceptions of note on Smil’s graph are Russia and the Ukraine, which became economic disaster areas with the fall of the Soviet Empire. One of the more instructive graphs is the one that shows Japan’s GNP and its energy consumption since 1880, when Japan began to play catch-up with the West. Look at that correlation.
GNP can be downplayed, saying that the poor nations can be as happy and well off as rich ones, but infant mortality and human development measures are far less equivocal. The human development measure used in the graph below combines life expectancy, literacy, educational enrollment, and per-capita GNP. Look at those infant mortality and human development curves when compared to energy consumption. They are not straight lines, but well-defined curves with few outliers. The curves partly reflect a concept known as declining marginal utility, which means that the greatest “returns” on investment are with the earliest ones, and as more is invested, the relative returns are smaller. Joseph Tainter stated that declining marginal returns are what ultimately collapsed civilizations:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#tainter
as the return on energy investment in complexity declined. It is a sophisticated way of saying that the society ran out of energy. So, those curves largely reflect the notion that the marginal returns for the early investments are great, so infant mortality, for instance, improves dramatically with a minor investment of energy. And to step back from the graphs for a minute, what does that mean in real terms? What it means is that if a nation gets any energy at all, the first things it will do is improve food security and access to clean water (unless it is a U.S. client state, then the population is screwed while the USA and the local elites exploit them http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#central). Lack of those basics is what kills most infants in the poor nations. That is why you will see numbers like only $40 billion a year would end almost all infant mortality, and feed, clothe, shelter, and educate all the world's poor, and not because of vaccinations like Bill Gates touts, but because all of the world’s poor would have access to food and clean water, and clean air if they can get it. That is a tiny fraction of the USA’s military budget, and the USA is the stingiest industrialized nation on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#aid
And when you look at the human development and infant mortality charts, you see something curious, in that the world’s richest nation has invaded and occupies the world’s poorest, as my great nation kills off millions of people:
https://sites.google.com/site/afghanholocaustafghangenocide/polya-gideon-afghan-holocaust-afghan-genocide
only a generation after we used them as cannon fodder against the Soviet Union, as The Big Zbig bragged about:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski
What the hell is wrong with that picture? Looking at information like that is when I am truly ashamed to be an American, and wonder what the real difference is between the USA and Nazi Germany. Maybe that America’s Gestapo has not come for me yet?
That idea of declining return on investment also is reflected in the declining marginal efficiency in the “stages” of civilization:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
Take a look at the energy efficiency as the stages are traveled. At every stage, the marginal improvement in efficiency is smaller, to where the difference between the energy efficiency of advanced industrial civilization (post-war USA) and industrial-technological (today’s high-tech USA) is only 1% (35% versus 36%).
Again, to make it real, an Indian housewife, making her family’s breakfast over the burning cow pie, is not getting much energy efficiency by cooking the family meal over an open flame of burning sh*t, such as maybe a 5% efficiency. An American mother, making her child’s breakfast in a microwave, is getting perhaps 40% energy efficiency from the coal being burned to power the distant electric plant, if the plant is a new one. If the plant is an older one, she is maybe only getting 30%, but still six times as efficient as the cow-pie-burning Indian housewife.
I will probably spend some posts in the near future on translating that kind of graphic information to the real world and what it means. It is only then that it can become real to most people. Graphs and number crunching are only conceptual aids. Shut off the electricity to a home, or have a car with no gasoline in its tank, or a refrigerator with no food in it, and the total dependence on energy of us comfortable Westerners becomes starkly clear. Energy does virtually all the real work in the industrialized world. All that humans do is direct it, such as when a woman steps on the gas in her car, when she flips the light switch in her home, or when a poor Mexican harvests an apple from a tree so I can have relatively cheap food at my grocery store.
That airplane that generates 45 times the power of the train makes feats “normal” that were simply not possible not long ago. Five hundred years ago, nobody had ever circumnavigated Earth. Today, I can drive down to my local airport, with credit card in hand, and leave that airport less than a week later, after having circumnavigated Earth. And if I wanted to do it first class, I could have done it in pampered comfort. Some airlines are really going the elite route, where some planes don’t have seats, but suites, where people can lounge around, sleep on a bed, and so on. Of course, going to the moon is the most energy-intensive feat that a human ever performed.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo
And as that plane went an order of magnitude faster than that train, those moon-bound humans traveled at another order of magnitude (and about two, at times) faster than the plane. It is all about energy.
I like Earl Cook’s work better than Smil’s, and Cook’s quote on the role of energy is still about the best I have seen:
“The principle that labor, when applied to energy resources, can be returned many times in new forms is the basis and hope of modern society.”

Hi CD7:
Thanks for reading. I am looking for three kinds of needles.
1. Needles that will simply lend their awareness to the issue. They will read my threads and site, just think about the information, do their homework, and raise their awareness. I may never hear from those people, and that is OK. That work is still valuable. They also may interact with me anonymously at Avalon. It is not easy to even interact with my material and hold it in one’s head. Very few of my “peers” can.
2. Needles that will become part of the public conversation that I plan to mount after I publish my big essay. They will have a little more skin in the game. They will all use real names and faces, and they will form the “choir” that I have in mind. Already people like Ilie, Sandy, and others on my threads are hitting their particular notes, notes that I would like to hear in chorus one day soon, and I think it will help humanity turn the corner.
3. If that chorus gets going as I imagine that it can, it will attract the attention of a different kind of needle, the needle that will eventually get active and maybe make an FE quilt. :)
Right now, I am very happy with the Number 1 needles who just read and ponder. It really is important work, just thinking clearly and thinking toward abundance, particularly in comprehensive terms. Most who I am reaching will be Number 1 needles. Some have been in Number 2 Needle tryouts, although they likely did not think that they were. I will be reaching out to various singers to join that choir one day. As I have stated plenty, Ilie is the gold standard of what I have in mind.
I really will have my hands full for the rest of my life just getting that choir going and making sure that it stays on track. I need to raise my own game to do that, and I plan to. Members of the choir will be singers, not soldiers. Some may graduate from singing to soldiering, but I am certainly not going to ask anybody to do that. I barely survived the battlefield myself, and have no desire to get back on it. For those who want to go play soldier, the greatest FE warrior I ever met or heard of is still at it, but he is getting pretty old. If somebody plans to become an FE soldier, the tests that await will be like these:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
and I only know of one person who passed all of those particular tests. I am not looking for anybody like that, but if a dozen at that level joined forces, FE would be well on its way to becoming a daily reality for humanity, and none too soon. I have played spear carrier to the great, and I will likely always function in a support role, and the choir is really just a support function, but a support function that has never been seen before on this planet. I don’t know if my idea will work, but I am going to try. What exactly it might grow into, I am not sure, but we will see. Godzilla is watching, and I am being patient and cautious, not only for my sake, but for people such as Ilie and Sandy. I already have enough blood on my hands for this lifetime, and don’t want any more. I may still get into trouble, but I am going to try to avoid it.
Time for watching a little Star Trek with my wife. Somebody needs to do it.

Hi:
On this thread since July, I have given the basics of energy and its role in life on Earth and the human journey. The perspectives on that role that I have presented have been many, from Cook to Tainter to Homer-Dixon to Catton to Heinberg to Smil to O’Leary. When the issue is evolution, mass extinctions and the rise of humans, whether it is Lane or Ward or Wrangham or Wilson or Francis (Darwin’s work was done before the science of energy was developed, and early work like that, including Marx, was deficient due to that pre-scientific era), the story is always primarily about energy. How an organism gets it, how it preserves it, how it uses it – these are the central issues. Ever since life appeared, it has also been a story of life acquiring more energy, using it more efficiently, and finding new and better niches for living. Life has in turn shaped Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere, but life has also wiped itself out in mass extinctions. Ward’s Medea Hypothesis is not easily dismissed:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=569619&viewfull=1#post569619
The rise of humans took the game to new levels, where human manipulative ability (our hands) led to a new energy practice – the control of fire – which in turn led to our increasing brain size:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=561572&viewfull=1#post561572
and the human journey has been primarily one of using our intelligence and manipulative ability to wrest more energy from the environment. That journey has seen humans burn through one energy resource after another, from megafauna to forests to soils to fur-bearing animals to whales to passenger pigeons. People also have used each other up over the course of history, working them to death as slaves, or exterminating them to seize their energy resources, such as the dispossession of the American Indian and Australian Aborigine.
Humanity is currently burning through the most prodigious energy resource yet discovered – the coal, oil, and gas trapped in Earth’s crust, which is the detritus from eras of Earth’s ecosystems, from the first trees that laid down the coal beds:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=527620&viewfull=1#post527620
to the periodic laying down of carbon-rich sediments during anoxic ocean events that provided the basis for the oil deposits:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=553859&viewfull=1#post553859
There is little reasonable doubt that that is how the coal and oil deposits were laid down (natural gas is also a byproduct of those events), and there is also no reasonable doubt that the coal beds will never be laid down on Earth again, and when the oil and gas are gone, if we just wait around for another few hundred million years or so, more will form. We are also reaching “Peak Uranium,” so that even if we went the insane fission route to "solve" our energy problems, that era would be over in the next century or so, if we don’t wipe ourselves out first. The Fukushima event is just the latest fission catastrophe, and it won’t be the last, if we continue on this insane trajectory.
There is also no reasonable doubt that our orgy of burning up the hydrocarbons is having environmental effects, such as acidifying the oceans and warming the atmosphere by increasing its carbon dioxide content by about half during the industrial era. It is only a more dramatic effect of what humans have been doing to Earth’s atmosphere for the past several thousand years.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=550716&viewfull=1#post550716
In this continuing catastrophe of burning and destruction, the question reasonably arises if humans are really a sentient species, and if we are not just a more complex version of an algal bloom, using up the resources as fast as we possibly can, to then die off once the energy has all been burned through:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=539260&viewfull=1#post539260
Those arguments are not easily dismissed, not at all, but I am going to see if I can prove them wrong, or maybe a better way to say it is I am going to see if humanity can really become a sentient species. While we are trapped in our cycles of scarcity, seeing no further than our egocentric perspectives, we are on the sled ride to oblivion, and the ride is picking up speed.
From my own experiences in the trenches, and the experiences of my few fellow travelers, I came to understand that an energy supply that is about as unlimited as we can imagine was tapped long ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but the people in charge today, who are in charge precisely because humanity has not mustered sufficient integrity and sentience, has kept that energy source from public awareness and use. They do not do it out of some fear that humanity cannot handle the unprecedented freedom that would come with tapping that energy source, and they certainly don’t fear some kind of damage to the space-time continuum by tapping that energy source. Those people keep that energy source “undiscovered” because keeping energy seemingly scarce is how they control humanity, which they regard as a huge herd that they milk. The more power-addicted in that group plan to flee to Mars if Earth becomes uninhabitable, and those fears are not crazy. If humanity does not wake up and claim its collective sentience, and soon, it could well be game over for that upright ape that learned to control fire. Do we prove Godzilla right, in his disdain for our benighted species, or do we wake up? If enough of us do, something like heaven on Earth is not far off:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
If not, then Scotty can beam me up whenever he wants. :)
I will make a few more “modern era” posts to show what the tapping of fossil fuel energy has meant for modernity, and I will also show how close that era is to ending, as we are now in the early stages of a depletion crisis that is merely a replay of all previous depletion crises that humans have created as they burned through their energy resources. It is just being acted out on a scale that dwarfs all previous depletion crises.
Time for work.

Wade
Hi CD7:
Thanks for reading. I am looking for three kinds of needles.
1. Needles that will simply lend their awareness to the issue. They will read my threads and site, just think about the information, do their homework, and raise their awareness. I may never hear from those people, and that is OK. That work is still valuable. They also may interact with me anonymously at Avalon. It is not easy to even interact with my material and hold it in one’s head. Very few of my “peers” can.
2. Needles that will become part of the public conversation that I plan to mount after I publish my big essay. They will have a little more skin in the game. They will all use real names and faces, and they will form the “choir” that I have in mind. Already people like Ilie, Sandy, and others on my threads are hitting their particular notes, notes that I would like to hear in chorus one day soon, and I think it will help humanity turn the corner.
3. If that chorus gets going as I imagine that it can, it will attract the attention of a different kind of needle, the needle that will eventually get active and maybe make an FE quilt. :)
Right now, I am very happy with the Number 1 needles who just read and ponder. It really is important work, just thinking clearly and thinking toward abundance, particularly in comprehensive terms. Most who I am reaching will be Number 1 needles. Some have been in Number 2 Needle tryouts, although they likely did not think that they were. I will be reaching out to various singers to join that choir one day. As I have stated plenty, Ilie is the gold standard of what I have in mind.
I really will have my hands full for the rest of my life just getting that choir going and making sure that it stays on track. I need to raise my own game to do that, and I plan to. Members of the choir will be singers, not soldiers. Some may graduate from singing to soldiering, but I am certainly not going to ask anybody to do that. I barely survived the battlefield myself, and have no desire to get back on it. For those who want to go play soldier, the greatest FE warrior I ever met or heard of is still at it, but he is getting pretty old. If somebody plans to become an FE soldier, the tests that await will be like these:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
and I only know of one person who passed all of those particular tests. I am not looking for anybody like that, but if a dozen at that level joined forces, FE would be well on its way to becoming a daily reality for humanity, and none too soon. I have played spear carrier to the great, and I will likely always function in a support role, and the choir is really just a support function, but a support function that has never been seen before on this planet. I don’t know if my idea will work, but I am going to try. What exactly it might grow into, I am not sure, but we will see. Godzilla is watching, and I am being patient and cautious, not only for my sake, but for people such as Ilie and Sandy. I already have enough blood on my hands for this lifetime, and don’t want any more. I may still get into trouble, but I am going to try to avoid it.
Time for watching a little Star Trek with my wife. Somebody needs to do it.
Best,
Wade
Very encouraging plans...
Although I have not had the opportunity to read through most of this thread...I'm picking up snipets along the way. So before I go into too much discussion, I need to go through more of this thread. I will say, to b honest, I'm an artist tht operates more through the heart...love to create things and not so much into the written word in lengthy amounts. Lol..which makes it interesting at times when there are threads tht request study of an article or even video. I tend to b more spontaneous. --in any event many of us are operating from different areas in the brain But our hearts are in the same place. Pull all these different perspectives together to initiate positive impact on humanity..now were talking!
Looking forward to learning more about your intentions :-)

Hi CD7:
Artisans are important for my plan. I am an artisan soul, or so I am told:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading
But I am looking for people who can engage their left brain, too. From what I have seen, the people who have the best chance of understanding have their hearts in the right place above all else, and have both sides of their brain engaged. They have the creative spark and eye of the artist, but also the discriminating mental horsepower that goes with being a scientist. Otherwise, they have a difficult time distinguishing the forest from the trees and easily get lost. On the fringes are a million time-wasters, with stuff that does not amount to anything, but they develop huge followings of the undiscerning, gullible, inexperienced, and naïve. The New Age is full of hazards like that:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage
but there is also a great deal of invalid fringe “science,” vying for the public’s attention, sending them down the rabbit holes. There is also conspiracism and other tabloid titillations that distract people and waste time.
My work is somewhat close to Bucky Fuller’s, and helping my readers develop a comprehensive perspective is my goal:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing
Once readers can accomplish that, the energy situation will come front and center. But the so-called free energy field is in a state of arrested development, dominated by scientists and inventors, chasing money and trying to establish primacy for their invention or theory. It is in a state of arrested development for a few reasons, not the least of which is organized suppression:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make
but almost everybody who gets past the denial that free energy is even possible:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level0
gets spun up in thinking that the inventor’s path to free energy has promise, or the capitalist route, etc. The people running the show have made sure that all avenues like that are closed off, and they are perilous even if there was no organized suppression, but there is an endless stream of fools with inventor-it is, delusions of grandeur:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur
dreams of riches, and other defects which keep the field in the state that it is. At least fifty thousand have tried and failed. Getting to a productive understanding of the issues is like walking the razor’s edge, and I have almost never found anybody who could. Brian O’Leary held the perspective closest to mine in the free energy field:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm
but he also came from the academic side of the house, while I came from the real world end of it, going through the meat grinder, and like every other American free energy activist that I have encountered, Brian could never quite get the taste of the red-white-and-blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. Nationalism is one of the many scarcity-based ideologies that people have to shed in order to understand abundance:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
It is anything but an easy task, and I have almost never met or heard of anybody who was able to accomplish it, but I am looking for people who want to try, because on the other side of the hump, if we can make it over it, is something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
instead of the sled-ride to oblivion that humanity is on these days. The people running Earth today do not have a kind regard for humanity, but regard us as a herd to be milked, and slaughtered when our usefulness expires. Killing off the planet is one of very possible outcomes of the game being played, and humanity has effortlessly obliged the social managers. When the situation is taken in, the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species understandably arises:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience
I know that free energy, antigravity, and other world-changing technologies exist:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but we don’t get any while we are collectively asleep and our own worst enemies. I am taking a different approach to it, and we will see how it goes.

Hi:
I am officially on sabbatical. After ten years straight at my day job, it is time to take a break. If I am lucky, I will have the rest of the year off. I have a pretty long tally of bucket list chores to do. This will likely be the last break of my career. I will be making some posts over on the Future Earth thread, a summary of my energy-and-human journey posts on this thread since July will go on my site, as a prelude to the essay that I will be writing this year. Then we will see if I can leverage it into building a choir. As I think is evident for those who have been reading this thread since July, the subject matter covers a daunting range of topics, and that breadth is why it has taken me so long to get to the point where I felt that I could do a credible job of tackling the subject matter. I have been juggling my career, my marriage, my health, and, always, my time, for the past several years.
As you all know, the essay will be energy-centric, but will present a comprehensive view of the role of energy in the journey of life on Earth, including the trajectory of that seemingly sentient ape, humanity. It will be a more refined version of the topics that I have covered on this thread since July, but will go more deeply, and there will be new insights offered in it.
I will be making some more energy and the modern age posts in the next week or so, and then I will likely be going fairly quiet at Avalon while I write that essay and get the bucket list chores done. I may put pieces of the draft on this thread as I write it, but it is too early to tell. Essays like the one I will be writing go through plenty of revisions, backwards and forwards writing and editing, deep rumination, and so on. Bringing all the pieces together into a coherent, paradigmatic whole will likely be the greatest challenge. I also needed the peace of mind that this break will give me to hit the notes that I need to hit, if this is going to make a dent.
I feel plenty of motivation to get all of my agenda done during my break, but not having to punch the clock for the long hours will remove a great deal of the pressure. Already, I am getting people trying to grab my time, but this will need to be my time, to get a bunch of my life list activities finished, not somebody else’s.
Time to do chores and a little decompressing, including a little hiking.
Best,
Wade
Blessings to you and your family Wade. know Peace in this time.
Dear Wade,
A Great Big YEAH!!! Time for you, your bucket list and your passion. :cheer2: Behind you all the way and if there is anything I can do to be supportive in anyway please do not hestitate to call on me.
Summer is around the corner and a great time for hiking and bucket lists and the wonderful thing about taking care of you is the energy flows and the essay will too!! At least that is my opinion and I'm sticking too it :) Love to you and yours and much joy in this break away from the rat race my Dear, Dear Brother. :hug:

Hi Wade,
Funny, but I suspect that you will burn more calories on sabbatical than in your "day gig." Nor will stress disappear, because you are driven.
However, you will have control over when to take breaks ("mental pauses") and those breaks can (and I suspect will) be deeply refreshing, spiritually fulfilling, and will recharge your batteries even more than anyone - even you - might guess.
As you go through your levels of decompression (hey, we don't want a case of the "bends!"), I hope that you have cause and circumstance to laugh. Not just chuckle, but laugh so hard your knees buckle and your belly and face hurt, and tears run down your cheeks. Zen-catharsis-laughter. This happened to me after one of the most stressful periods of my life, and even the memory of it is exhilarating.
Meld with your wife - mind, body, and soul - and thank her again again from me, for being a rock when you need grounding, for being like Lao Tzu's supple branch when you need flexibility, and for unselfishly sharing you with all of us (humanity.)
Wish I was close enough to be able to effectively help you by taking some mundane task(s), and hope you won't hesitate to accept any help I can provide (like proofreading, for example.)
Sending love and energy to you. :~)

Hi all:
Thanks for all of the encouragement and kind words. I am getting a lot of “you won’t know what to do with yourself” comments, or “this decompression will take a while.” Actually, this won’t be hard. I have been in far worse shape before.
Right out of college, when the record-test-setting prodigy did not want to live in LA and instead tried to make it in Seattle, to only by thrown into the breach on day one, I had a headache every waking hour for my entire tenure at that company:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578139&viewfull=1#post578139
I did not know what it came from, but eventually realized that it was my first stress episode. Then I crawled back to LA, and even applied for food stamps before I landed the job:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=497877&viewfull=1#post497877
Then it was a descent into hell. The office environment was a shark tank, and I worked in Skid Row, and after adjusting to hell:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&highlight=burst#post406928
walking past a dead body did not even elicit comment:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=319133&highlight=loot#post319133
But that is when my drinking problems began, and I could not get a lungful of air for an entire year, and my doctor told me to quit my job or else face a health catastrophe, and I was only 27:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406934&viewfull=1#post406934
Not long after rescuing that hooker:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406934&highlight=hooker#post406934
I asked that voice for guidance, for the second and last time of my life:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2
to walk into Dennis’s company the next week. And then my adventures really began. Again, the account on my site leaves out plenty that would make it seem far more preposterous than it already appears, and getting Dennis’s books will fill in some of the gaps. When I met Dennis, he said that I was shaking. It was from excitement, but I was also fried from stress. My roommate, whom I moved in with a couple of weeks after Dennis hired me, later told me that I looked like I was forty years old when I met him, and I lost all of those extra years from my appearance over the next several months, and I looked normal again. As I have written, 1986 was the happiest year of my life, as I was pursuing my life’s work and hiking in the mountains every weekend, even though I starved that year.
Then I chased Dennis to Boston, became his partner within a couple of months of arriving, and that is when I really began to grow up:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing
Being attacked by friends, wondering if I was going to be murdered, getting evidence of Godzilla’s interest, working 70-hour weeks again, and our project not really taking off, took its toll, and my drinking problems returned, along with my stress problems. And then Dennis ended up moving the entire operation to Ventura, my hometown, which was the last place on Earth where I wanted to move, and I did not know why we moved there until reading it in Dennis’s book several years later. Then I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Three years later, I was radicalized with my life shattered. By the spring of 1988, I was in full stress-breakdown mode. People told me that I looked like a raccoon, the rings around my eyes were so dark.
I have no doubt that the same voice in my head was also the source of the “divine intervention” that happened when I sacrificed my life to give Dennis a sliver of a chance in the evil proceedings:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it
That voice piped up, unbidden, many years later, as I was literally burying Mr. Professor:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
whose life was ruined and shortened by his involvement in my adventures.
After five years of 60-hour weeks at my job in Ohio, as I put my wife through graduate school:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes
I reached the end of my rope again, and actually went on Prozac for a brief period (what a nightmare!), and then stepped down from my job, to only succumb to Dennis’s multi-year recruiting effort to get me back in the saddle with him, and I spent the winter of 1996-1997 in New Jersey, while my wife lived in the Bay Area, and I saw her once a month, with only our cats to keep me company. That entire winter was like a bad dream, even leaving aside that I was probably close to going to prison that time, as Godzilla took the game to a new level:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting
When Dennis let me move home that spring, it took me the rest of the year to really decompress. It was then that I decided that I could not afford another stress breakdown. But I am a “high achiever” and am in high-stress high tech, playing in the same puddles as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Apple, Amazon, etc. I am an old man in high tech, who will turn 55 soon, but even though I am feeling a bit worn out, this is nothing compared to the other times.
At the office on Friday, there was kind of a surprise party for me, and it was almost like the ending to It’s a Wonderful Life, and nearly brought me to tears. And almost none of them know about my “other” life, or what I really plan to do with my break. I doubt that any of them will read my upcoming essay, and would be blown away if they did. I am the first person in my company’s history to get this kind of break, and my CFO had to fight for me to get it.
But “decompressing” this time will be quite easy for me, as I am not very compressed to begin with, not compared to how I was in the past.
Going hiking with my wife now. Somebody has to do it. :)
Best,
Wade

Hi:
First, a little on the decompression. I have gone hiking twice in the past 24 hours, and plan to hike every day in the coming week, as the weather will be glorious, and glorious weather in May is one of the chief reasons why I live here. It can be stunning all the way through October here, and August is really Seattle’s showcase month, when everybody who visits here then wants to come live here. But we pay for all of that loveliness with several months of rain. I love the rain, too, so I am definitely in my element here, but spring is my favorite time of the year, and hiking season is really about following spring up the mountainsides. I have been seeing blossoms since February, and that will continue until autumn is over.
I have stated that my keen interest in nature was remarked on by my first grade teacher:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=495114&highlight=grade#post495114
so I came here wired that way, but that voice at age nineteen took me on a different path than a scientific career:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice
and it has been the past ten years that I really resumed my science studies in earnest, although I was expecting to do it after I retired, in a university setting. It really kind of snuck up on me, and was not really a conscious intention, but as I did it, I began to don my scientist’s lenses again. In the images below is one taken of the “brush” literally a couple hundred yards from the freeway, at the beginning of the trail that I hiked yesterday and this morning. I look at that lush brush with a sense of wonder that recalls my childhood fascination. In that image are horsetail, ferns, berry bushes, a cedar tree, and a deciduous tree. The horsetails are known as living fossils. They are the earliest “trees.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree#Evolutionary_history
and are living fossils today, with all of their close relatives extinct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsetail
The first “trees” were also ferns, and those ferns in that image have nearly as ancient a pedigree as those horsetails. The cedar trees are conifers, which are only a little younger than the ferns and horsetails:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifer#Evolution
The deciduous tree and the berry bushes are relative newcomers, as flowering plants really got going only about 130 million years ago:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_history_of_plants#Flowers
This morning’s catch included violets (yellow ones)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viola_biflora
http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/perennial/violet/
and trillium, which turn purple as they “ripen.” Walking through that lush leprechaun land with my wife is as good as my life gets.
While it is too late in this life to become a botanist, biologist, physicist, and so on, scientists think in matter-and-energy terms, and I have been honing that eye for quite a while. During my studies, I thought about why trees only grow so tall, and I figured that the ability to “pump” or “suck” water up that high would be the limiting variable, and recently, scientists have shown it to be the case, as they studied the treetops of the coastal redwoods of California:
http://www.sfgate.com/science/article/REDWOODS-How-tall-can-they-grow-2764144.php
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20631010
http://www.wonderquest.com/Redwood.htm
One thing that I will be trying to impart to my readers is to help get them thinking in matter-and-energy terms, and not just about natural ecosystems, but the unnatural ecosystems that people have created, beginning when they began to burn vegetation to flush out animals to kill and make the vegetation more suitable to human exploitation, and progressing through the domestication of plants and animals to the fossil-fuel-fired urban environments of today. It always has been primarily a matter-and-energy story, but humans, with their hands and brains, changed the game. In many ways, humans are no more “sentient” than horsetails, and in others, their potential sentience is what will allow us to turn the corner and not die off by our own hand.
A little more on that later, as I will soon be getting to the very nub of my argument; what the potential of FE is, and why humans can change the game on Earth in truly unprecedented ways. Instead of being just one more animal, scrapping for survival in a world of scarcity, we can become a truly sentient species that lives in abundance, and all of life on Earth will benefit, not just that upright ape. The increase in the standard of living that came with industrialization only hints of the potential of FE, and I will be exploring that soon, why we have a chance to turn the corner, and why we do not need to listen to the “human nature” refrain that come from many corners, as they justify genocide and a host of horrors, as being how humanity is “wired,” as if it was some immutable aspect of our beings. I disagree, and FE is the greatest window of opportunity that I know of to get us over the hump into becoming a truly sentient species.
But it is time for chores now. May is going to be a busy month, getting many chores done in preparation for my sabbatical activities (when I am not hiking, of course :) )

Wade

Hey Dennis:
Your concern is highly appreciated. I will definitely being doing some unwinding, and sitting around doing “nothing” is something I am good at, but it will definitely not be an idle sabbatical. I did my first interview more than ten years ago. It was not published, but the interviewer is coming to stay with me next weekend. He has traveled the world, seeking out visionaries and “new paradigm” people. I asked him what we all had in common, and he said high intelligence and high energy. I think that what was assumed was that we all had our hearts in the right place. I accept that I will never totally slow down in this lifetime, and I am OK with that. As long as I can pursue my life’s work (whether it is what I was sent here for or not, it became my life’s work, and that voice guiding me makes it likely that this is what I was sent here to do, no matter how much I felt like a mushroom at times), get out into nature with regularity, and not have to live under a bridge, call me happy.
Back to chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As I have written plenty, some scientific literacy is really needed in order to develop a comprehensive perspective. People don’t need degrees in physics, but they need to understand the basics of science. They don’t need degrees in math, but innumeracy can be a great hindrance. For instance, hydrogen power and biofuels have been touted in the media for many years now, and both are completely crazy “solutions” that depend on the public’s scientific illiteracy and innumeracy so that they don’t get laughed at.
As I have stated plenty, EROI is the key to measuring energy resource viability.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EROEI#Economic_influence_of_EROEI
Oil’s EROI in the USA has fallen from over a hundred during the glory days of East Texas oil to less than five today. Globally, oil’s EROI will sink to under ten in a decade. Biofuels have an EROI of about one, and even less than one in some measures. EROI is not standardized and has its limits, but it is the key measure of economic health. It also does not measure environmental impact, social costs, and the like, which makes nuclear energy an inane “solution,” and burning hydrocarbon fuels is warming Earth’s atmosphere and is acidifying the oceans, the USA has been committing genocide to secure Middle East oil, and we are far from done, but our rivals are not going to stand back forever while we steal all the oil, which could well lead to World War III and some kind of Mad Max future, among many other nightmare scenarios that are eminently possible. The EROI for hydrogen power is less than one. Hydrogen is only a way to store energy (Mills’s hydrino concept aside, with is only using hydrogen to tap the ZPF), and biofuels, particularly when using actual food such as corn, have the charm of taking food calories and putting them into a car’s gas tank, literally taking food out of mouths and putting them into engines. One tank of SUV biofuel can provide a year’s worth of calories for a person.
What EROI makes very clear is that all of the easy energy that powered the Industrial Revolution is gone, as humanity has burned through all of the easily-obtained hydrocarbons. As I have written previously, Brian O was looking for an assistant in his last years to crunch the numbers on alternative energy (wind and solar, primarily), to show how those solutions were too little, too late. The numbers are just not there. At best, they could make the West somewhat energy self-sufficient, quite a ways down the development curve, but the West is a tiny fraction of humanity. To get all of humanity to just American levels of energy use is far beyond the horizon of today’s alternatives, and none of that will be abundant, either. True energy abundance is probably up an order of magnitude or three above today’s American levels, and only FE can do that. And that would also be available for all peoples, not just those first out of the gate (Britain, the USA, and Western Europe) who intentionally held everybody else back.
As I wrote yesterday,
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=670677&viewfull=1#post670677
scientists think about nature in matter-and-energy terms, and their key insights rarely stray far from that framework. The energy situation is the basic one that all life has to deal with. If that is not taken care of, the rest does not matter. Humanity is in the same situation, apes that we are.
One hazard of the fringes, which my work and Avalon qualifies as, is that there is a mountain of chaff for every grain of wheat, and I have seen it lead so many people astray into the rabbit holes and dead ends. I certainly do not make the case that orthodoxy has all the answers:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy
but people at least need to understand the orthodox position so that they can evaluate alternatives. Far too often, the first encounter by fringe people with relativity or evolution is some fringe claimant who makes the case that Einstein or Darwin was wrong, but that lay reader does not even know how Einstein or Darwin was right. Carl Sagan was a dishonest hack when he played Grand Inquisitor of the scientific establishment:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan
but that did not make Velikovsky right. Velikovsky and Sitchin were into literal interpretations of ancient texts, when such a view is really strained and uncalled for. Both were in over their heads when trying to interpret Sumerian cuneiform tablets, and no professional astronomer takes Velikovsky’s planetary theories seriously. I don’t like using the terms pseudoscience and quack, but Velikovsky’s work was not valid, as far as I can tell. People such as Brian O never endorsed Velikovsky’s planetary billiards scenario, and neither did Einstein, although Velikovsky had his ear. The catastrophic interpretation of the extinction of the mammoth, for instance, has many flaws and I highly doubt that it has any validity. The buried mammoths that are regularly found in the permafrost were likely buried when glacial dams burst, which were truly catastrophic events, but relatively local in nature. The only variable that accounts for both the mammoth extinction and all other large animals is the arrival of humans:

Even after Velikovsky, there have been scientists who have made the case for catastrophic celestial events, and they may well have happened, but there is no way that they can account for the global extinction of megafauna soon after humans arrived, whether it was Australia 50K years ago, the Western Hemisphere less than 20K years ago, or New Zealand less than a thousand years ago. Sitchin’s inhabited planet that has a three-thousand year, highly-elliptical orbit, is way out there, literally. :) Similarly, when I have seen the Hancocks and other ancient history revisionists go up against the professionals, their theories don’t fare so well. I am well aware of how dishonest the debunkers can be, but if you interact with professionals who are specialists in the subject matter that those revisionists grind their axes on, the revisionist grasp of the material is weak, at best. Similarly, there is a cottage industry of alternative cosmology, where the theorists and their followers are not professionals in the field, and they have interpretations of solar phenomena, for instance, that are filled with gaffes and howlers that make it hard to take them seriously. I keep seeing neo-Velikovskian works get published with regularity, and the author is some humanities student or other non-scientific credential, and they rehash the same old stuff that was convincingly discredited long ago.
I see the same dynamic with all the “evidence” that we never landed on the moon recycled ad infinitum:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo
in a conspiracist fantasy that looks like it will never go away, like the flat earth “theories.”
For a very recent example of conspiracism at its worst, work your way through the “analysis” that began the day after the Boston Marathon bombings, with “false flag” immediately touted, when the suspects were not even identified, with the victims, in various stages of injury, including some deaths, were denigrated as actors in a false flag event, with highly equivocal image “analysis.” Again, I never wholly accept the official explanation for anything. I have no doubt that JFK was murdered in what was, at minimum, a backfired covert op:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean
but my jury is still out on 9/11:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11
for instance, and I have watched as much disinformation get created and spun around 9/11 as I have the moon landings. That shooting at that Connecticut grade school was similarly painted in “false flag” tones the next day by the conspiracists. There is an academic who shall go nameless right now, but as I was studying the JFK assassination long ago, he became a newcomer, and his work even back then was a bit suspect, and I have watched him jump aboard the 9/11 conspiracist bandwagon (I tried to warn him off of the Apollo hoax theories, and I think I may have dissuaded him on that subject) and other “false flag” events, and after the Marathon Bombings, I saw him immediately promote the most strained interpretation of events, such as the “actor” angle on all of those people killed and wounded. I have just about lost all respect for his work, and I am now wondering if his incessant conspiracism is not a “false flag” in itself, stirring up the conspiracist waters, getting them all hyperventilating, as they rush out and buy more guns.
Similarly, while I have seen UFOs with my own eyes, and I saw them put on a show when asked:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#call
my jury is still out on what they are and what their intentions are, although they are obviously not hostile, and being shot at by the military is the height of insanity. When Brian O got involved with UFOs, America’s military tried to kill him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
and I have little doubt that what my friend was shown:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
was at least partly developed by reverse-engineering captured ET craft, just as Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses have stated. It is a strange universe, and I have no doubt that plenty is being covered up, but most of what passes for evidence for Nibiru, ancient advanced civilizations, a hollow Earth and so on, is fantasy, a poor interpretation of the evidence, or outright disinformation.
Another cottage industry among the scientifically illiterate and ax-grinders is attacking evolution. But those who do the attacking are usually defending their Bible-based view of the world. No professional scientist denies the validity of evolution. But the best of them know that the story of evolution is one of history and process, not intent:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn2
There are plenty of materialist “skeptics” and other worshippers of science’s theories, with the recent spectacle of Hawking stating that the theories of physics do away with the need for a creator. Einstein and friends would not have agreed with the logic promoted by Sagan and Hawking:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical
In his The Origin of the Species, Darwin speculated that the latter part of the Mesozoic (which was called the “Secondary Period” back then) was perhaps older than 300 million years. That was more than a generation before radioactivity was even discovered, a century before plate tectonic theory was developed, and Darwin was not that far off. The late Mesozoic was more like 100 million years ago, not 300 million:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_period
but that was not bad at all, with what they had to work with back then. He was a lot closer than the six thousand years of the Book of Genesis. Back in the 1990s, when I had a public email address and took on all comers, I was regularly approached by people grinding their “Darwin was wrong” ax, which was really “The Bible is right” ax. It took some time for me to digest their arguments and evidence, and it was one of my early investigations of the fringes that showed me how gloriously wrong that stuff could be, and how impervious to the evidence such “theorists” could be.
But that in no way made the materialists right, and Einstein and friends were keenly aware of the limits of science. Again, do a remote viewing:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown
and the materialist conceits of establishment science collapse. Everybody whom I respect in the FE field had a mystical awakening, which was often responsible for their efforts in the first place. If Godzilla’s Golden Hoard was put on display, today’s physics texts would be good for little else than becoming doorstops. But that does not make the fringe theorists right. Again, there is a mountain of chaff for every kernel of wheat. The microscopes of Rife and Naessens are definitely wheat, and their scopes’ resolutions have been defying orthodox optical theory for nearly a century:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens
but their findings threaten one of the world’s greatest rackets, and they have been ignored by establishment science ever since Fishbein (a quack if there ever was one) and his cronies went after Rife:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fishbein
I have long stated that the battles between the Creationist and Materialists is a battle between the Baby Souls and the Young Souls:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age
and their perspectives are both lopsided. Again, I know that a great deal is being kept under wraps, officially in the name of “national security,” but in reality it is all about keeping Godzilla’s racket intact. It is hard to say what all is being kept hidden, although I know it is a great deal, and those who claim to know what it all is are probably spinning disinformation, either unwittingly or as part of their jobs. I know that many in the disinformation crowd are on the payroll, as Bill the BPA Hit Man certainly was:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm
As Mr. Skeptic probably is:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic
and how Mr. Texas likely was, at least while he was doing his dirty work:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=585787&highlight=hodgell#post585787
But to get orthodox for a moment, evolutionary theorists are confident that they will eventually be able to derive a convincing theory of how life first appeared, as the random activities of atoms, bound together as molecules, as the dynamics at the atomic and molecular level played out in the miraculous instance when somehow a self-sustaining reaction was created, and the reaction somehow was able to reproduce itself. Call me skeptical that they will ever derive a convincing theory. But even if they do, it will have nothing to say whatsoever about consciousness or any intent behind that “miracle.” There may well be goodies in the Golden Hoard that will provide evidence otherwise, but I think that the consciousness/matter connection is too subtle to be measured by today’s instruments, if it will ever be. I doubt that they will ever manufacture consciousness in a lab.
That does not mean that conscious and matter don’t interact. Indeed, matter and energy are likely manifestations of the creator’s consciousness. But increasing brain size, which goes back hundreds of millions of years, in the reptile line that became mammals, allowed for more “intelligent” animals, whatever that means. I have had some conscious interaction with plants, so I have a respect for them that a scientist might not. I do as little damage as I can to plants and animals when I hike, for instance.
But early on, life stole from life, through grazing and predation, and that is our heritage. I read Zoosh once say that life eating each other is not universal, so on some other planets, all life “rolls its own,” energy and nutrient-wise. Even if we dismiss that as mystical mumbo-jumbo, humans are a unique evolutionary creature. Our mastery of fire allowed our brains to grow in the most dramatic evolutionary trend in all of the history of life on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#cooking
and we humans have a unique ability to manipulate our environment, and form social networks that no other animals can aspire to, not even whales and dolphins, which are more on the band level of social organization, like hunter-gatherers. As the spiritual masters have demonstrated quite well, the human potential is most amazing in its ability to love. Love just might be the most mysterious force in the universe, and I think that it is the road to the creator:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest
and there are very practical and mystical reasons why free energy and love are joined at the hip, which is why fearful approaches to the free energy issue are doomed (Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11: http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6 ).
Even the hardest-core materialist has to admit that with free energy, exploiting the ecosystems for human benefit quickly becomes unnecessary. Warfare over scarce resources (the primary motivation behind all wars) would also become obsolete. And even so-called “human nature” – that heritage and baggage that we carry around with us – does not have to define our future and potential at all. With virtually unprecedented brains and the ability to manipulate our environment, who is to say what our potential is?
I know that the pieces exist, today, to make this reality not very far off at all:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
No scientist worth two-cents would stubbornly deny that such futures would beckon with a world based on FE and abundance, and any scientists that play the Level 3 game, calling FE impossible and against the laws of physics, are the same hacks that called heavier-than-air flight “impossible”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#wright
or who laughed the LAMCO founders out of engineering offices, because heat pump COPs of seven were “impossible”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seven
The danger is thinking that scientists and engineers are the bastion of rationality and clear thinking. I have found them to be among the most irrational and naïve groups that I have encountered:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive
when their oxen are getting gored, which is kind of bizarre. As the Brookings Institute informed NASA, the group that might be the most threatened by intelligent, extraterrestrial life would be scientists:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#brookings
As I have stated, getting to a productive understanding of these issues is like walking the razor’s edge, but it can be done, if people are willing to do the work, keep their eyes open and be willing to relinquish what they “know,” which is usually something they were “taught,” not something that they discovered through their own personal experience.
My busy day begins.

Boy, Wade, You ask people to walk on a tightrope, in high altitude with a rod in their hand and keep the balance. Such Individuals who are able to maintain equilibrium need an extraordinary talent to distinguish and be able to use a different part of the brain each time. It seems that the requirment is to use both sides, but not necessarily in an equal measure. One side examines the facts and uses logic (evidence) and the other one allows curiosity and hypotheses to take the reins and stay open to all possibilities.
Many people tend more towards one side over the other, therefore, the balance you require is a rare feature (On the one hand to rely on the tools of science to diagnose and to draw conclusions, on the other hand what we deal with - Free Energy, does not at all exist in terms of this same science), and this mix is a main ingredient in your winning reciepe :)
When you throw mysticism into this equation all the different variables change once again and more things need to be taken into account.
This comprehensive thinking you require, If I may be so bold to suggest, is quite a complex process which is not only satisfied with adopting a wider perspective but requires some kind of a special method or combination of removing the chaff from the wheat.
Until orthodox and unorthodox can combine themselvs and create a hybrid and materialists and theorists can do the same, until then, I will pray that enough of us will be able to see what you see and use a good amount of discernment but not so much as to limit ourselves from moving into the uncharted regions, becuase these are important as well.
I wish you an enjoyable both sides of the brain sabbatical :)

Hi CD7:
Artisans are important for my plan. I am an artisan soul, or so I am told:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading
But I am looking for people who can engage their left brain, too. From what I have seen, the people who have the best chance of understanding have their hearts in the right place above all else, and have both sides of their brain engaged. They have the creative spark and eye of the artist, but also the discriminating mental horsepower that goes with being a scientist. Otherwise, they have a difficult time distinguishing the forest from the trees and easily get lost. On the fringes are a million time-wasters, with stuff that does not amount to anything, but they develop huge followings of the undiscerning, gullible, inexperienced, and naïve. The New Age is full of hazards like that:
It seems people who are well balanced and use both sides are rare---but we are not conditioned for such feats--so no surprise there! lol I imagine tht a humans possibilites are ENDLESS when using ALL points available in the geometric biodome known as our "body" :) Nice to see your employing different perspectives
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage
but there is also a great deal of invalid fringe “science,” vying for the public’s attention, sending them down the rabbit holes. There is also conspiracism and other tabloid titillations that distract people and waste time.
My work is somewhat close to Bucky Fuller’s, and helping my readers develop a comprehensive perspective is my goal:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing
multidisciplinary is great--nothing like having a more eclectic experience in life and in education---gives a person a more mutidimensional view of themselves and the world around them...
Once readers can accomplish that, the energy situation will come front and center. But the so-called free energy field is in a state of arrested development, dominated by scientists and inventors, chasing money and trying to establish primacy for their invention or theory. It is in a state of arrested development for a few reasons, not the least of which is organized suppression:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make
Yes it would definitely seem tht if a person follows the system as it is now to initiate a FE avenue---it almost seems laughable ,as the word "free" would not have anything to do with it...
just putting my thoughts out there, but a REAL change..something monumental to initiate a new way of life for people all over the globe would seem to be built on a completely different infrastructure compared to wht is in place now---And by infrastructure, i mean the whole system--what the whole modern world is built on now.
but almost everybody who gets past the denial that free energy is even possible:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level0
I believe its possible, i believe having heaven/paradise on this globe is very possible. I believe it is possible for every human on the globe to have a free home--free food. I also feel tht it is much more simpler to accomplish such a task then people have been conditioned to see
gets spun up in thinking that the inventor’s path to free energy has promise, or the capitalist route, etc. The people running the show have made sure that all avenues like that are closed off, and they are perilous even if there was no organized suppression, but there is an endless stream of fools with inventor-it is, delusions of grandeur:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur
dreams of riches, and other defects which keep the field in the state that it is. At least fifty thousand have tried and failed. Getting to a productive understanding of the issues is like walking the razor’s edge, and I have almost never found anybody who could. Brian O’Leary held the perspective closest to mine in the free energy field:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm
I need to read more into Brian Oleary to get more of a perspective..
but he also came from the academic side of the house, while I came from the real world end of it, going through the meat grinder, and like every other American free energy activist that I have encountered, Brian could never quite get the taste of the red-white-and-blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. Nationalism is one of the many scarcity-based ideologies that people have to shed in order to understand abundance:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
It is anything but an easy task, and I have almost never met or heard of anybody who was able to accomplish it, but I am looking for people who want to try, because on the other side of the hump, if we can make it over it, is something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1
instead of the sled-ride to oblivion that humanity is on these days. The people running Earth today do not have a kind regard for humanity, but regard us as a herd to be milked, and slaughtered when our usefulness expires. Killing off the planet is one of very possible outcomes of the game being played, and humanity has effortlessly obliged the social managers. When the situation is taken in, the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species understandably arises:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience
I know that free energy, antigravity, and other world-changing technologies exist:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but we don’t get any while we are collectively asleep and our own worst enemies. I am taking a different approach to it, and we will see how it goes.
Best,
Wade

Hi Limor:
Yes, not many can do what I am suggesting, either not being willing to, or not having the ability, or a combination of both. That is why I keep saying that I am looking for needles in haystacks. :) It has to be the heart in charge above all, the inspiration of the right brain (mystical experiences can help develop it) in combination with discrimination of the left (scientific training can help develop it), and some kind of experience on the high road, or some kind of radicalizing experience that opens a person’s eyes beyond their scarcity-based conditioning, and this is guaranteed: if you were raised as a human on Earth anytime in the past two million years (unless you lived in some vanished Atlantean-style civilization, and even then I am not sure), you were subjected to scarcity-based conditioning. It was so pervasive that it was like the air you breathed and the water you drank, and the vast majority of humanity simply accepts those root assumptions as “normal,” and as I have kept stating, when those assumptions are “normal,” and abundance is unimaginable, Godzilla has us just where he wants us.
I have been accused of having an elite agenda, but that is a false perception, IMO. Anybody can meet those qualifications above. I admit that it won’t be easy for the people working in the cow-pie factories that David visited, but anybody who lives in the West has the opportunity to do what I am suggesting. Almost nobody possesses the willingness to do so, but that is largely because personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity. Again, for the people comprising the choir, it is not going to be some ride on the gravy train, but it will be hard, thankless work. But I am going about this in a way where it likely won’t be life-risking work. I have seen enough blood and guts in this lifetime, and I am not sure what the benefit was, other than to try to avoid any more of it. Anybody wanting to play Indiana Jones can go see Dennis. I admit that my ambitions are not so lofty, but that choir has never been seen on Earth before, and it seems worthwhile to see if it can be formed and see what it could do. It beats watching TV, and it could be instrumental in helping humanity turn the corner, and humanity needs all the help it can get.
Time for working in the yard.
Best,
Wade

Well, you invest a great amount of energy (of a certain type) in this effort, Wade, but when this attempt will catch like a wildfire and a proper song will be formed on the lips of many, that allow the awarness of Free Energy to chime in to society's mind, then your own EROEI measure will sky rocket to a never known magnitude which will cancel all need in any energy measures per capita. Abundance and free flowing energy need no measure. However, It sounds to me as if you may want to look for a highly educated mountain climber ibexes rather than lambs :rolleyes:
Originally posted by Wade Frazier: " As I have written plenty, some scientific literacy is really needed in order to develop a comprehensive perspective. People don’t need degrees in physics, but they need to understand the basics of science. They don’t need degrees in math, but innumeracy can be a great hindrance. For instance, hydrogen power and biofuels have been touted in the media for many years now, and both are completely crazy “solutions” that depend on the public’s scientific illiteracy and innumeracy so that they don’t get laughed at
Public illiteracy can be part of why hydrogen powers and biofules are so easily implemented and used, but how can one explain the scientists and economists approval of these? they are suppose to have a better understanding of the data..
And their inability to accept alternative energy options that may actually have a tremendous potential that leaves behind in the dust all other alternative sources such as hydro, sollar, wind etc. indicates that a little more is needed than just erudition, an open mind and a personal integrity are asset not to be taken lightly.
Wade Frazier
7th May 2013, 05:03
Hi Limor:
Ah, that would be a long discussion on why economists and scientists support “solutions” such as biofuels and hydrogen. That has partly to do with them selling their souls, just like all the “smart” people who state that the only viable treatments for cancer are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system
or that compulsory fluoridation is somehow smart “medicine”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm
or why my nation’s capital is named after two mass-murdering thieves:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint
or that I went to a grammar school named after a genocidist:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra
who is literally up for sainthood:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint
This is all related, and it always boils down to personal integrity being the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
and because people with integrity almost do not exist on our planet, I am trying to find some in a different way than Dennis tried, or Brian tried. Fifty heroes could do it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes
but there are not fifty to find. I am also not looking for people whose integrity is all that high. I am not asking anybody to play at Dennis’s level, but to just gather enough courage to simply imagine abundance, and maybe sing a little. :)
Time for bed.
Best,

Hi:
As an addendum to my posts yesterday, that comprehensive perspective is needed so that each member of the choir will be able to paddle his or her own canoe. Unless it becomes their song, this will not work. Sure, I will be the leader of the chorus for some time, and I am working on the hymnal, but relying on me or the “experts” can be hazardous. As you can see by the posts on this thread, even when people are not denying that FE is possible, the Level 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 kinds of attitudes are evident, and those approaches will pull the effort in unproductive and even suicidal directions. To successfully walk that razor’s edge will take hard work, discernment, and for those in the choir or aspiring to be, do not expect encouragement from anybody in your daily life. If there is, consider it a blessed bonus. Even in my own life, I get all manner of person trying to undermine me, even today, and I have had to remove them from my life when their attacks became active. Again, virtually nobody on the planet today understands, and I am looking for people who are willing to try, and they will be rare. But the upshot could be helping humanity turn the corner.
If this was easy, we would already have FE. The inertia of a scarcity-addicted humanity, with Godzilla and the lower-level predators playing dark shepherds, is an incredible dynamic to behold, and not in a good way, as we race toward the abyss. If Michael is to be believed, and I would not bet against him, we are exactly at the juncture where about a third of ensouled species that can manipulate their environments wipe themselves out:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3
and when they do, wiping out their environments as the agent of self-extinction is twice as common as wiping themselves out via warfare. We are in a race-of-the-catastrophes scenario, all based on our energy practices (the Gulf Spill, Fukushima, genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, accelerating mass extinctions, global warming, acidifying the oceans, deforestation, erosion, etc.). That FE can make it all go away overnight is mind-boggling in not only its potential:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
but also in how it is universally denied, down to the roots, with more than 99% of the people who even hear of FE falling into Levels 1, 2, 3, and 5:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1
while those who get past it nearly invariably fall into Levels 4 and 8, while those who want to “do something” fall into Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11, and maybe one in ten thousand is fit to become a Level 12. But those numbers, while they seem like they are impossible, as far as amassing a Level 12 choir, are actually pretty good:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=665156&viewfull=1#post665156
and using the Internet to find them is how I am going about it. I am using a new technology in a way that makes my idea at least worth trying. No banging on doors like Brian O did:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
No barnstorming with the circus like Dennis did, no Indiana Jones-ing, no beseeching governments, corporations, and NGOs, no tinkering inventors applying for patents and raising money, no trying to sneak up on Godzilla, and so on. Those have all been spectacular failures, and I am trying something different, and we will see how it goes.
If I even found one person at Avalon who was a Level 12 contender, I would have been satisfied, and I did better than that, so I call my presence here at Avalon a successful experiment. :)

Hi:
Just a quick note. I have begun making those posts that I have threatened to make:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115
There is much more to come. I want to briefly address an observation that I get all the time from newbies to this material. If people begin to grasp the magnitude of the picture that I am sketching with my work, and what the potential of FE can be, it is obviously one of the biggest stories of all time, if not the biggest. It is natural to think that those around you will want to hear all about it, but you would be wrong, I am sorry to say. As in that account by Roads, we live in a reality where the mass consensus rules, and it rules because people have chosen it, and consensus reality is a semi-sentient state, at least on this planet, today. That can change, but it needs to be chosen. Does that mean that FE and abundance will happen in an alternate reality and not here? If I really believed that, I would not have devoted my life to this path.
But if you are one of the needles that I seek, you are going to be a needle. Your friends, family, and associates are not going to support you in your choral efforts, much less studying the material that I am putting out there. It won’t be easy, but to the extent that I am able, I am trying to help people keep their sanity as they embark on the path, and, believe me, it is a sanity-threatening path, and can definitely be a life-risking one. I have seen many casualties, and have had to be patched up myself periodically.
But the last thing I see is the friends, family, and associates of anybody in the choir becoming a Level 12 themselves. It won’t happen, but only in the rarest of circumstances. You might live in an intentional community like Darren does, but as even he found out, nobody is really too interested, being mired in their favorite flavor of scarcity.
That does not mean that we can’t become a Level 16 civilization:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level16
It is just that the heavy lifting to get there won’t be done by the masses that are locked into their herd behaviors and “consensus” reality. But when FE is delivered to their homes, or they can travel only a little distance to see it in operation, then they will begin to wake up:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli
and probably not before then. It is also possible that I beamed down onto the wrong planet, and having FE dreams is some kind of torture that I deserve for prior misdeeds. I don’t think so, but nobody is letting me in on the joke of my being here, so the last thing that I am trying to do is force anything. Hence, my lamb’s path.
Time for chores.

Hi:
I am working hard on the chores, the kinds that do not get done unless they are performed on sabbaticals. :) A primary purpose of my upcoming essay is to help people develop a sense of perspective. It will necessarily be comprehensive, and the devil is always in the details, but I want to help my readers develop an epochal perspective, because that is what has been missing from all the FE efforts that I ever saw. There might be a little lip service given to it, but it was quickly left behind as people started to “do something,” and their egocentrism and inexperience stunted their perspective, and when that happened, it was game over, with Godzilla rarely needing to lift a claw. Almost everybody went for some kind of quick kill, some easy path, something that they could do on their lunch hour, or maybe a few weeks of toil, before the gravy began to pour in. Of course, as Dennis took the businessman’s route, the thievery and other greed-inspired behaviors took over, and the most common dynamic was his associates trying to steal the business:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#ucs
To be charitable, the thieves never thought epochally, unless it was that glimpse of the quadrillion-dollar nature of FE:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion
that initiated the orgy of greed. Godzilla is definitely thinking epochally, but he is doing his best to prevent the next epoch from happening. There have only been a handful of epochs in the human journey, and every one of them was initiated and sustained by tapping a new energy source. The first one was the control of fire:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#fire
the second was tapping the energy of the megafauna:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#megafauna
the third was domesticating plants and animals:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#domestication
and the fourth was tapping into the energy of fossil fuels:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#industrial
and that is it. There was arguably a 3.5 when Europe learned to harness water and wind power on a scale that had never been done before, which allowed them to conquer the world:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=666395&viewfull=1#post666395
Astute readers will notice two dynamics, among others, in the above list. One was that the time between the first and second was hundreds of thousands of years, if not more than a million. The time between the second and third was only tens of thousands of years, while the time between the third and fourth was only thousands of years, and we are only a few hundred years into this epoch, which will end soon if a replacement energy source is not developed. The other thing that might be noticed is that the energy harnessed rose dramatically each time, with order of magnitude increases with the most recent two epochs over the previous ones:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#chart
The increase in the level of energy acquisition and use was the big event, with everything else a sideshow. The economic, political, and social changes were primarily outcomes, not causes. The epoch that we are on the brink of, the FE Epoch, is already here, technologically, but the worst elements of humanity currently control the situation, because the masses have abdicated their collective responsibility and sentience.
Helping humanity over the hump into the next epoch is my game. Seen another way, humanity is at the stage for sentient species where they exterminate themselves a third of the time:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=671352&viewfull=1#post671352
When seen in that light, everything else happening on the planet is meaningless, with the daily politics, “news,” entertainment, so-called economics, and social scene merely inconsequential noise. When you begin to think epochally, that stuff becomes truly meaningless. I am not saying that people cannot find comfort and diversion in those activities, but the Titanic is just about to hit the iceberg, and virtually nobody is trying to steer or is even aware of the waters that we are sailing in as a species. I am not only trying help us turn away from the iceberg, but to also turn the Titanic into a starship. That is what FE can do. As I have stated, doing this sure beats watching TV. :)

Hi:
Going hiking in a little while, but briefly…
The recent news about the Boston Marathon Bombings is that the younger brother wrote a confession on the boat that he was caught in:
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/16/18295633-dzhokhar-tsarnaev-scribbled-note-inside-boat-where-he-was-hiding-sources-say?lite
And what I find conspicuously absent in the American media, as usual, is any assessment of the legitimacy of the grievance. Of course, the “action” is to be deplored, but what about the legitimacy of the grievance? Naturally, the only American of prominence in the media who is bringing up this issue publishes out of the UK:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/24/boston-terrorism-motives-us-violence
The American media is completely bankrupt, ethically and in many other ways, being little more than a propaganda machine:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big
The British media is usually little better, but is not nearly as monolithic as the American media. The USA’s reaction to “terrorism” is to pour more gasoline on the fire, but the so-called “collateral damage” of those people injured and killed at the marathon that the younger “terrorist” referred to is actually how U.S. planners think of those people at the Marathon – acceptable losses on our side, which nobody will ever admit publicly. They fully know that these acts of “terrorism” are merely retaliation for our genocidal crimes:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
It is also great for Orwellian population management, to rule through induced fear:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell
It is like Jefferson’s observation on the resisting American Indians: they will kill some of us, but we will kill all of them:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#exterminate
That is the calculus of American war planners for two hundred years, using the American people as cannon fodder and, boy, do we ever oblige them.

Hi:
I am going hiking soon, but briefly, the action has been happening over here lately:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy&p=674969&viewfull=1#post674969
I am going to put up an image, to give an idea of what is coming up. In my office at home, I have seven bookcases, and six are jammed with books. The bookcase in the picture is some of what I have been studying for the past several years in preparation for writing my upcoming essay. Most of the books in that bookcase I studied, often intensely, over the past several years, as preparation. My style has been to read the books, with note-taking paper inserted in the books that I write on, making notes as I plow through them. Probably most of them were largely read while I was taking the bus to and from work. You won’t be able to read all of the titles, but it can give you an idea of the preparation that it has taken me, and on some days I don’t feel up the task, but on most I think that I have enough oomph to make an adequate presentation of the material and my points.
Last week, I was able to do something that I have not been able to do for the past four years, which is organize my library. My wife banished it to our garage four years ago, which was two moves ago, when I lost my “lair” where my library was also in my office. I had to buy two new bookcases and then it took me about two days to reorganize my library. There are sixteen bookcases in my garage library, in addition to the six in my office. It holds well more than a thousand books, and not much of it is fiction (about one bookcase worth, although in the house is about another bookcase, mostly science fiction and fantasy). The topics range from math, science, and medicine to economics, history (including plenty on world history, and the rape of the Western Hemisphere by Europe probably is the biggest single topic), media studies, politics, environment, and mystical material, including more than an hundred channeled works and a bookcase on the world’s religions and spiritual masters. And that does not include stacks of political, media studies, and channeling magazines. I had a globe-trotting friend here last weekend, and he has been seeking out visionaries for many years. He said that he does not know anybody quite like me, tackling the breadth of material that I do, in the way that I do. I told him that reorganizing the library was a kind of “this is your life” experience, and the range and depth of material in my library daunts even me at times. I know that I can’t do justice to all of it in this lifetime, but I am going to see if I can synthesize enough of it so that my readers can develop perspectives comprehensive enough to where they can keep their eye on the ball, so maybe we can get something done.
We will see how it goes.

Hi Wade,
My mother was a librarian and the head of the periodical department in Bar Ilan University in Israel, she read more books than any other person I have ever known, and needless to say the attitude towards books at our home was one of a great respect. I myself never studied at a university or in any other institution of higher education but I did chose to take courses in history and archeology at the Open University, which required many hours of reading and acquiring knowledge from text.
I understand your ability and your need to extract information from the research and labour of others, (I can not understand your brains ability to summerise, conclude, add to it, make it your own and string it along in your own work, but oh, well : ), I would like to ask you whether you tend to read any research or life experience (Biography) of someone who you know you are not going to resonate with, do you have any books in your library that you absolutely do not agree with and knew so before you bought the book? Many thanks.

Hi:
The weathermen should all be fired here. Yesterday’s prediction of partly cloudy today turned to rainy overnight. That is typical for around here, but since I can hike when the weather is nice, not being a weekend warrior for the next several months, I will do more chores today.
Hi Limor:
Oh yes, I have studied many works where I either did not know much about them and wanted to find out more, at varying levels of wariness, to studying work that I knew far in advance would make me nauseous. I’ll make some references here.
I went through the pain of studying Rush Limbaugh’s work, but “work” might be too charitable a description of his screed. Early on, I studied the various alternative viewpoints, as well as the mainstream one, such as with the media. I studied the far right media criticisms, and the left's, and that was after twenty years of reading the daily newspaper, thinking I was getting the news. In fact, those kinds of studies were how I eventually saw the lopsided nature of both the structuralist and the conspiracist viewpoints:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism
For another instance, I began to study the “skeptics” in the early 1990s. I had heard plenty of negative stuff about them, but I had to see for myself. Studying the “skeptics,” including legendary members such as Carl Sagan:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan
and James Randi:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#randi
was highly educational, and then I had direct personal experience with somebody who is currently one of the most famous “skeptics,” and he confirmed all of my worst suspicions about them:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=410817&highlight=gritz#post410817
The guy stalked me on the Internet for many years, hurling his slime.
Susan Blackmore might be the only honest “skeptic” that I ever encountered (and that she is also the only female “skeptic” that I have encountered is probably no coincidence), but her work leaves much to be desired.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#blackmore
McLuhan and Carter both take on Blackmore’s work, and they make many of the same observations about her work that I had.
I have written plenty that in my historical researches, the ideal historian’s task is hunting down primary documents in an archival setting, but each subject is a life-consuming task for a historian.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity
I have had to largely read secondary accounts, mostly by professional historians, but I would read a wide spectrum of material, seeing the left, right, and mainstream viewpoints. In general, I have far more respect for the leftist authors, although there are also many astute authors from the mainstream, and the right produces worthwhile stuff periodically.
For instance, I searched for years for anything critical of the work of Uncles Noam, Ed, and Howard:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm
and I have never really seen anybody invalidate their work all that much. Almost all assailants were grinding their particular ax, usually from the right, but also from the so-called left, and the mainstream is always hostile. I think that the structuralism of the Left stunts their perspective, but within the confines of their arguments, they are among the best that academia has to offer.
In studying history, it quickly becomes evident that there is no such thing as an objective history, although I respect the ideal, just as I do in many disciplines:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy
It is just that the ideal is rarely ever approached, much less realized.
And as I have stated repeatedly, if not for the many larger-than-life events in my journey, my academic study would not amount to much, nor would I likely have much worth saying. My odyssey is what gave me the perspective where I could dive in and not get lost (but that might just be another delusion :) ).
After more than a dozen years of that academic adventure, interspersed with more adventures (where I nearly went to prison ( http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting )), a pal said that I was a comprehensivist, and I did not know what he meant, and then he had me read some of Bucky’s work, and I understood:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
Ever since, I have been more consciously comprehensive in my work, and I think that my short essays since 2002, when I finished my site, have been better than what I wrote before. What is coming will be my first truly comprehensive scholarly essay, but it won’t be too intensely scholarly. The goal is to turn on the reader to go studying what I did, and it was intentionally done so that it stayed away from too much that is arcane. That is not necessary to comprehend the picture that I will be painting.
Time for more chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
As an addendum to my previous post, I have never shrunk from controversial topics. My days with Dennis comprised kind of a primer on that score.
Before I even busted Dennis out of jail, I came upon a man who knew that JFK was not killed by a lone nut:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean
and it was another dozen years before I had anything to say publicly about it, after a great deal of study. I was kind of an “honored guest” in the Velikovsky controversy in the late 1990s for a few years, interacting with most of the players in the controversy. Velikovsky was treated shabbily by many in the scientific establishment, but that did not make his theories accurate. I don’t think that any professional astronomer ever took his planetary billiards scenario seriously, and there is really about zero evidence for it. Velikovsky’s theory of a recent ejection of Venus from Jupiter is also something that no planetary scientist takes seriously. The idea that those events caused the quaternary mass extinction is also not taken seriously in professional circles, and it is not because those are all dogmatic clubs, although dogmatism can be found in any discipline, but because the evidence just does not support those scenarios. The alternative to gravity and related theories in the Velikovsky canon just do not hold up, but there are continual efforts to try to revive Velikovsky’s theories:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=636893&viewfull=1#post636893
and call me very skeptical of them. In a similar vein, Stalinist scientists championed abiotic oil theory long ago:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=624464&highlight=stalinist#post624464
but the advent of plate tectonics, sophisticated techniques of determining isotope ratios and the like have laid abiotic oil theory to rest, IMO.
Similarly, I spent quality time on the moon landings controversy, and found that all the so-called evidence for faked moon landings collapsed upon further inspection:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo
In all of those areas, I was sympathetic to the fringe claimants, but their evidence rarely survived much scrutiny. So far, the JFK hit and the UFO issue still stand tall, although they are mercilessly ridiculed by the mainstream, but I happen to know better. Watching Dennis get smeared by the national media with regularity was an eye-opener, but what was more telling were all the lies told about Dennis by people in the FE field, with newbies like Foster Gamble carelessly repeating the libel, even after being notified that it is libel.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621892&highlight=barred#post621892
Those are just more examples that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity and that we are our own worst enemies. Godzilla rarely has to lift a claw, as we do most of his work for him. I am still getting bombarded with emails on the “false flag” aspect of the Marathon Bombings. The evidence for a false flag virtually does not exist, and a great deal of amateur “image analysis” and other garbage has already been recycled several times, even stuff that was obviously bogus early on. So it is, in conspiracist circles. The Marathon Bombings are an example of blowback, and will likely be opportunistically exploited by the “national security state” people who have true national security at the bottom of their list of priorities. If we want true national security, we should stop invading nations across the world and killing off millions of people in the name of scarcity and greed.
Time for chores.

It's difficult to argue the Boston Marathon bombings and there is no point in it as it is. I do not so much agree with you here, Wade. There are diffrent aspects to the 'false flag' issue, it might not be what the 'conspiracist' claim, and it probably can not be proven on any basis of clear evidence, but those who know the nature of the beast and can identify its finger prints - the play with the minds of young people, aka - mind control, can clearly see the working that was most likely taken place behind the scenes.
A need in strong evidence is acceptable and understood, otherwise, it is just a theory and a hypothesis such as in the Velikovsky's cases, if I understand it correct. And yet, as you suggest, it seems appropriate to examine every topic from all it's various sides and angles, and with the many points of views. This is not a surprise that if we want to adopt a comrehensive perspective we need to be willing to examine the 'for and against' of every issue. An examination of conflicting opinions or theories that are inconsistent with our own may actually help us understand better what characterizes the thinking of the other person or the opposing stance and probably to strengthen some of our own points of views.

Hi Limor:
From what I have seen, the Boston Marathon conspiracism that sprouted up within hours of the bombing was of the worst sort, and I am seeing the same disinformation getting recycled already. In the USA, we saw it right after the Colorado shooting, the Connecticut school shooting, and so on. Every single event like this is being chalked up to “false flag” by the conspiracist crowd. It is diseased thinking. In the Boston Marathon bombings, within a day, the victims were all called actors, they were not real bombs, and so on, and I keep getting hit with stuff that not even the tabloids will touch, as it is so out there. What an insult to the victims.
Sure, young, impressionable men are putty in hands of many interests (governmental, the “resistance,” and so on), but to call every event like this a false flag, and the kind of “evidence” that is being put forth for it, is the worst sort of conspiracism, and such irresponsible theorizing and “evidence” adduced actually provides cover for the real conspiracies, as any conspiratorial actions can be swept under the same paranoid carpet.

Hi Wade,
There was a time when bomings were a matter of a routine in Israel, either on busses or on the street, especially in Jerusalem where I lived. Dozens were dead each and every week. The method was that young suicide bombers coming from the occupied territories were exploding themselves. In 1996, while at the office located on the main street in Jerusalem three explosions occurred within five seconds of each other, we hid under the table, it was an insticnt. And when we thought there is no more danger we came out to try and assist the injured people who run up the street. The man we bought falafel from every lunch break got killed. On another occasion someone who worked on a different branch of the same company that I worked took the 'wrong' bus to work and exploded, I talked to her years afterwards when she was still in rehabilitation and had the extraordinary courage to go back to work and use the bus to get there.
Years later, I find out that mind controlled assassins are being used to sow terrorism in the service of the governments behind the scene. Palestenians terrorist cells are sponsered and trained indirectly by the Americans and the Israelis who are in the service of Godzila, that much is known, but the use of MKULTRA methods and technology on young people to commit certain acts is less known, less talked about and is less researched. To me this is what goes under the definition of 'false flag', it may mean that there is an outside intervention that has it's own interests. I do understand what you are saying, of course, Wade, conspiracism is 'attacking' the event with all the wrong facts, looking for crams of something suspicious, and going way further while doing a great disservice to searching the 'truth'. This is not a real research, but more of an unbased, way 'out there' accusations, and sometimes :tape: is the best reaction. What propmpts my own reaction here and I appologise if I am derailing this thread, is to not go the opposite way and assume that there is nothing in there. It is difficult to treat this case as something that developed organically in the hands of two brainwashed young Chechens that hate 'big America' and would like to get back at the government via the people, this is so very convenient for 'them' that the public would think along this line. We live in a complexed climate, in a complex reality and to understand the rules of the game, a little bit of 'out there' is needed. When I read your words again, I realize that we may be saying the same thing in two different ways. And in any case I understand that we must base ourselves on something solid before drawing conclusions.
:focus: (I set this sign to myself)
Wade Frazier
18th May 2013, 14:01
Hi Limor:
Yes, you understand my point, and our exchanges on this subject are no so off-topic. If there is evidence that adequately supports a conclusion, then the conclusion is worthy of being investigated further, to see how valid it might be. But when every event gets shoehorned into a narrative, no matter the evidence, then we have something else happening. If the Boston Marathon was a true false flag, the way to go about it would be to gather as much evidence as possible, analyze it, then make some hypothesis that something happened beyond what was apparent. That is not what has been happening, but a bunch of non-evidence has been paraded and recycled, and as I stated earlier, a prominent academic has been one of the worst offenders, backing stuff that does not have the slightest credibility, and my email in-basket is filling up with that tripe. I have seen the same thing happen with the moon landings, and that is something that I got to the bottom of:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo
My life was wrecked by an international “conspiracy,” so I sure don’t deny that they happen, but there is a paranoid mindset known as conspiracism that sees conspiracies behind every bush, and that disease is rampant in the USA today, and it makes my “story” easy to dismiss as another “conspiracy theory.” I have been dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist” for many years. The left has a conspiracy phobia:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti
while the right sees a conspiracy everywhere it looks. Both are unbalanced perspectives. By their very nature, conspiracies do not leave a paper trail, and when the conspiracy is performed by powerful forces, either governmental or private (as in Godzilla), then it not only can be almost impossible to get to the bottom of, it can be life-risking behavior to investigate:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wilcher
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#casolaro
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#divorce
In the end, the best way to end conspiracies is to “drain the swamp” of secrecy, end scarcity, and the like. The end of conspiracies would come with abundance. It is part of the same conundrum that FE sits within. Love will conquer all, while fear is self-defeating.
Trying to unmask the conspirators is a fool’s game, especially when the subject is FE and the stuff that really matters. I don’t deny that conspiracies exist, but I don’t obsess about them, either.
I acknowledge Godzilla’s existence, and I am doing what I can so that he does not feel the need to step on me again, but I also do not lie awake at night, thinking about him. Almost nobody has a balanced reaction to his situation, as they are either in denial or obsession, and both are fearful reactions. I will not go on talk circuits or mount conferences, because that is when people get killed in this field:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
or they beat your door down a couple of days later:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#raid
and I see naïve denial all the time about that reality (you can even see it on this thread – I call that Level 6 http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6), or I see the equally naïve notion that Godzilla can be snuck past (I call that Level 7 http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level7), and the most foolish of all think that they can take on Godzilla in battle (the delusional Young Warriors in Level 9 http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level9). I have seen it all in this FE field, and anything below Level 12 is an unproductive reaction.
Time for chores.

Hi:
As a brief addendum to my previous post, I am all-too-well acquainted with the “conspiratorial” world, from the offers that we got to go away:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer
to the espionage and theft that the authorities engaged in when they raided us:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr
to the sting operation that was mounted against us a decade later:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting
to a close relative who was a CIA contract agent, working for a household-name “diplomat,” and that relative nearly tried to recruit me into the family "business":
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia
I am all-too-familiar with the milieu. Mallove’s murder spooked Brian, who immediately moved to South America, where he spent the rest of his life, and I did not blame him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland
Brian survived a murder attempt himself:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
so his “paranoia” was understandable.
However, I have many around me who have become conspiracy “enthusiasts,” especially since 9/11 (and my jury is still out on that event http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11), and I have seen how damaging it has been for their mental health to obsess about conspiracies, and how unproductive it all is. The conspiracist mindset is a very unhealthy one. The ability to acknowledge conspiracies without becoming obsessed with them is the identical talent that is needed to walk the razor’s edge to Level 12:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level12
Love, clear thinking, and getting out of one’s armchair is required to navigate that minefield.

Hi:
As a P.S., in those two future worlds that Roads visited, at the very top of the food chain in that hellish world was a grand “conspiracy” enacted by the gray aliens:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115
while in the heavenly world:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
deception was probably not only impossible, but nobody would have seen the point. But as Roads's mentor explained, the humans attracted the “conspiracy” to themselves, creating a fertile field for the “conspiracy” to hatch via their greed and indifference. I don’t regard that account as fantasy or allegory, but it should be evident that that dynamic has everything to do with how I am going about the FE game, and why every attempt below Level 12 has not come close to working yet:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6
and I doubt that they ever will. Without a bunch of Level 12s (several thousand, for starters – AKA “The Choir”), no effort stands a prayer.

It is a state of complete strabismus in which one eye is on the game that someone else initiates, but our main focus of body and mind is where our own game is being designed and taking shape.
Can that be done while the old game planner continues to hit? and back to my first question, would you say you were able to arrive to this very balanced mindset while you were going through the most challanging times in your life? for example, while fasting in order to live within budget, while seeing Dennise's company being wrecked once again, while attending the courtroom looking into Mr deputy's eyes?
Many thanks as always ~

Hi Limor:
The entire Godzilla-centric approach is counterproductive, IMO. In our ignorance, we waltzed into his front yard, and he took care of us. But, as I stress over and over, the problem is not Godzilla, but us. If 0.0001% of us really woke up, it would be game over for Godzilla. If twenty true, world-class heroes could be found, who have passed these tests:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
then playing on Godzilla’s turf could be done. I am playing within hailing distance of his turf, but trying to round up lambs, not heroes.
Can a person attain Level 12 without going through the meat grinder? I am trying to find out.
I’ll write more later, after I get a bunch of chores done.
Best,
Wade
P.S. As I have made clear previously, whether 9/11 or Boston or Colorado or Connecticut were false flags or not is really not even important. The big issue, how we acquire, preserve, and use our energy trumps everything else by a long shot. Even the ET issue is a sideshow, only important in how it relates to the energy issue. Once people develop comprehensive perspectives, the energy issue moves front and center, especially now, with everything else just noise.

Hi Limor,
You ask very challenging questions for sure and maybe not for me to answer but I'll stick my 2 cents in anyway :0
IMO being at level 12 every second of the day and totally balanced at all times is unrealistic in the sense that we do get thrown off often by many things throughout a day, week, etc. The key is to know when one is off balance and readjust when appropriate to one's "well being".
I know when my ego is running the show and sometimes I go ahead and run with it cause I don't want to be disciplined and need a little grunge in my life hahahaha but don't kid yourself I do know at all times when I need to adjust and bring in balance in all or one a certain area of my life. I use to be a perfectionist and this was out of balance too!! :)
I agree whole heartedly with Wade's P.S. and find balance way easier to maintain when I keep things simple. When off balance I question: whether what I'm experienceing will matter in the end, is what I'm experiencing a problem or a situation, and clarify with the serenity prayer.......God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Hi:
This post is intended as part of Ilie’s education if nothing else, but I am going to put some things on the record that need to be, and it will help people further understand why I have no interest in the inventor/capitalist path to FE.
Ilie does his homework, and many times now, when I refer to a book, movie, or encounters that I have had in my journey, Ilie checks it out, and one thing I have heard from him is along the lines of, “It is even worse than you said,” as he poked his nose into these issues. Not long ago, somebody sent him that libelous article:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621892&highlight=barred#post621892
as an example of astute writing on the FE issue. I told Ilie that it won’t be the last time. :)
As I have written plenty, I grew up in an inventor’s workshop:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse
and my initial orientation was technological, then from the business perspective during my days with Dennis, and my journey kept adding more dimensions to the issue. As I have written plenty, I can barely imagine the potential of FE, and I have been living with the idea since 1986.
I don’t need to get into any detail regarding my first stint with Dennis, but I know of no greater effort to bring alternative energy to the American market than what Dennis did in 1984-1986:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run
and that hit man from the BPA is the first time that I think that a Godzilla asset was sicced on Dennis. Before that, it was surviving mob hit attempts, his associates stealing his businesses, and when all of those assets were mobilized against Dennis’s company in Seattle, it was primarily the local energy industry protecting its turf. That first offer to buy us out in Boston:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten
was the first entreaty from Godzilla’s minions that I am aware of. Also, Dennis began to hear from the so-called “White Hats”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white
and while I was with Dennis in Boston and Ventura, he received a few of those calls. So, the Black Hats and White Hats were interested early on, and then the Black Hats raised the ante a hundred times:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer
before they lowered the boom on us. By the time I staggered out of Ventura in 1990 (I have never been back, and don’t plan to), my life was shattered and I was radicalized. After Mr. Professor and I sprung Dennis from jail, in what is still probably the biggest miracle I ever witnessed:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it
Dennis tried to get me back in the saddle with him, but I was in no shape to, and needed to dig out of the debt that I went into to spring Dennis. But for the next several years, Dennis worked on me whenever he could. Dennis tried everything he could think of on the FE front. He tried the Madison Avenue route:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal
He joined the Patriot Movement, and soon saw how its “leaders” were mostly a bunch of phonies, more interested in selling books and videos than making a dent. Just as he was getting a head of steam again, the courts double-crossed him, as usual, this time going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and they promptly stuck Dennis in prison with murderers for failing to file that form, and he barely survived the experience:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=614041&highlight=murderers#post614041
I flew him out of California when he got out of prison, and he escaped the clutches of Ventura County, who wanted to get him back in Ventura, and probably into one of Mr. Deputy’s cells once again, but Dennis’s wife once again penetrated the bureaucracy, and he served his parole in New Jersey. He immediately went right back at it. He visited me in the spring of 1995, and he was doing a little fishing, of course, and the next winter he started doing road shows, and when he came to Columbus, I was shocked at the crowd:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=422926&viewfull=1#post422926
The image of that large group of Amish people at the show will stay with me for the rest of my life. I am not sure how many shows Dennis did that winter and spring, but it was at least fifty cities, I believe. The USA had never been barnstormed like that before or since. After he finished the first tour, he did a second one, and that is when he met Yull. The world is full of pretenders, and Dennis was one of the first real people that Yull met. When he met Yull, Dennis said that he wanted to buy as many Brown’s Gas machines as Yull had, and he asked Yull if he wanted cash, a check, or gold. Yull said, “Gold,” and Dennis opened his briefcase and counted out enough Krugerrands to buy Yull out. Yull’s bluff had been called, and Dennis heard later that Yull did not know what to do with the Krugerrands, and eventually handed them out to friends and associates as gifts. Then Dennis began promoting Yull like nobody ever had before.
About that time, Dennis had Godzilla’s keen attention, and the White Hats and Black Hats began to swarm. I can’t get into all the attention that was directed at us publicly right now, but the Black Hats had a big problem on their hands with Dennis, once again, and the White Hats had a contender to be the figurehead that they could use to bring FE to the public. Have no doubts - that ball was in play back then, although much of what was happening would not be clear to me until many years later. Some of what happened could just have been “coincidence,” but like how all the favors were called in by the electric industry in Washington, and they came at Dennis from all directions:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#sabotage
the sharks were circling all during 1996. Our phone records were subpoenaed:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=542939&highlight=subpoenaed#post542939
and the phone company was gagged for six months from telling us. And right in the middle of that summer tour, out comes a Hollywood movie that featured a ringer for Yull blowing up a city:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=336966&highlight=ringer#post336966
after the people who made the movie picked Yull’s brains for a couple of days, after promising him that they would get him the money to make his Brown’s Gas dreams come to fruition. Adam T. worked with Yull before Dennis, as did others that I encountered in later years. Yull was working with a group in California. I had encounters with them, and what a naïve bunch. What they had right, however, was that Yull was hard to work with and would never enter into reasonable contracts to get his technology developed further. Dennis would soon find that out the hard way. In 1996, Dennis bought more than $1 million worth of Brown’s Gas machines from China, and paid Yull an outrageous commission that amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When people blame Dennis for Yull dying “penniless” not long after, Wiseman among them, they don’t have a clue. Yull wanted to raise his commission for the next batch, and even Dennis’s wife said that he was raping us. Kind of crazily, the California bunch told Yull that Dennis did not have any money, while Yull was pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars in “commissions.” Yull probably never told his California pals about that little windfall. And right in the middle of all that, Wiseman was making his waves. He tried competing directly with Yull and Dennis, and produced books that showed how to make Brown’s Gas machines and not have to pay Yull anything. One day at the office, in late 1996, Dennis held up one of Wiseman’s books to me and said that he represented a different tactic: copy what others do, get around the patents, and take the wind out of their sails. Dennis thought that Wiseman was somehow on the payroll. I did not quite know what to make of it, but filed it away, to see the next year that Wiseman not only copied Brown’s Gas machines, but he also copied Dennis’s FE idea, even using the same terminology that Dennis used in the 1980s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#bootleg
When I read about Wiseman’s “invention” in that book, what Dennis said about him became manifestly clearer. In the last year or two, Wiseman seems to be making a knock-off of solid state FE devices, or at least trying to, perhaps something like Sparky Sweet’s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky
I don’t know of anything original that he has come up with, but I also don’t make it a point of keeping up with him. He became fairly prominent in 1996, riding Dennis’s and Yull’s coattails, which caused Dennis and Yull plenty of grief. But just before the legendary Philly show:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=420274&highlight=philly#post420274
about 35 of Dennis’s dealers tried to lure Yull away:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#second
and the day after the show, Mr. Skeptic began his skeptical career, with Dennis as the initial focus of his “skepticism.” I am now more than half convinced that he is on the payroll:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic
That huge sting operation was in operation against us at the same time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting
Wiseman was just one of the many yapping dogs nipping at Dennis’s heels in those days.
Dennis was still on parole in 1996, when they did those tours:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=511691&viewfull=1#post511691
Yull met with Al Gore at the White House right after the Philly show, with a bodyguard/manservant that we provided him:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#yull
and we found out that Clinton hated Dennis. Every presidential administration since Reagan knows all about Dennis:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#squeaky
The next year, Dennis and I spoke at DOE hearings about using Brown’s Gas to neutralize nuclear waste, and the man running the hearings told us in thirty seconds what the nuclear waste effort was really all about:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull
White Hats, Black Hats, sitting presidents, huge sting operations, regular smears in the national media, billion dollar offers, prison stints on trumped up charges, murder attempts – I doubt that Wiseman has encountered one percent of what Dennis has. That article that Carmody put up on another thread inspired this post:
http://www.eagle-research.com/cms/node/687
If Wiseman has actually experienced the activities that he writes about:
http://www.eagle-research.com/cms/node/643
then he should have some inkling of what Dennis has been through, playing at the level that he did.
But it was with Dennis in New Jersey that I finally lost interest in the entire business/inventor path. The inventors are virtually all greedy, inventing primarily to get rich and famous. Godzilla makes sure that anything that gets too far along will get derailed, and I had yet to learn how deep his bag of tricks is. Dennis's "allies" hurt him more than Godzilla did. The general public is no help, and Dennis’s circus-style approach attracted people there for the circus. The picture really dawned on me in New Jersey. Dennis let me come home to Seattle in April 1997, and I have not left and do not plan to. And it was more than ten years later that I realized how close I came to going to prison. I was going to be Dennis’s errand boy, at the close of the “deals” in Europe (which was really a sting operation), and I had to get my passport renewed to prepare. When I realized how close I came to going to prison, I decided that I was permanently done playing those games, and I do what you see me doing today.
When I see posts on my threads that link to Thrive, or Wiseman, or the many other places where I get to revisit the attacks on Dennis, or sites that vehemently deny FE’s possibility, I sigh, knowing that I am still learning patience. :)
I’ll get to Sandy’s and Limor’s posts soon.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
To Limor’s question, Level 12 is an idea that I came up with relatively recently, in the past ten years or so, so I guess that I am the first Level 12. I am kind of making this up as I go. Brian O and Dennis were playing the Level 10 game, Dennis focusing, as always, on putting technology on the market, while Brian was focused on education, at least with NEM. Brian tried to get me involved with scientists and inventors in his last years, but I had enough of that for a lifetime, and really did not see the point.
The ideal would be those heroes storming the ramparts:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#heroes
but those heroes do not exist, not enough who can play at anywhere near this level:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany
I buried one of the greatest men I ever met the year before Brian coaxed me to help found NEM:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
and at NEM, not only was Mallove’s murder too coincidental for Brian:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland
but ever since my days in Ventura, I became involved with the FE milieu, more as a spectator than participant, but my second stint with Dennis and my NEM days with Brian thrust me back onto the high road. I kept seeing how people just did not have the right stuff to make FE happen. While some may have had enough integrity, they were naïve or inexperienced or could not see the big picture, and most really did not want to hear about what I learned, and were determined to go find out the hard way, and I really don’t want to watch anymore.
That damned voice led me to Dennis, and over the years I came to realize that there is nobody else like him on the planet, not even close, so my initial goal of finding more like Dennis, or just somebody within hailing distance of him, pretty much came up empty. Dennis, for instance, stood on a far higher level than Brian did, and Brian was one of the greatest men I ever met. Murder attempts never dissuaded Dennis. He would just shrug them off. He had a bodyguard when I met him:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=497877&highlight=bodyguard#post497877
Adam Trombly’s life story, from what I have heard of it, is the closest thing to Dennis’s that I know of. Bearden’s story is pretty incredible, but almost too strange. But when I heard Bearden tell about how they almost took him out, and it was almost exactly what we were subjected to at the same time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden
my respect eventually grew for the old man, although plenty of people around me have looked at Tom with a skeptical eye. Tom worked closely with Sparky, who had the goods:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky
but there were only a handful like them, and Brian knew most of the FE “community.” I came to realize that a bunch of scientists and tinkering inventors did not have a prayer, and Mr. Inventor’s observation on the integrity of inventors in 1986:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#alpha
became very clear to me by 1997, and in the years since then, it was just more of the same. So, my Level 12 idea is significantly an admission of the sorry state of humanity, where almost nobody can be found who cares and can keep their focus on what is important: which hinges on the integrity and sentience issue that I am always writing about.
But one of the “encouraging” things about my Level 12 idea is that for those who have been in the field for a long time and have been through the meat grinder, their perspectives tended to move toward mine, and when they have not, it seemed to be that they just could not quite let go of their conditioning, whether it was nationalism, religion, etc.
One of the great things about Ilie is that he quickly progressed, quickly transitioning from having tinkerer aspirations to realizing its futility and admitting that he is no hero, but is willing to go after the learning experiences that I have to offer - that is exactly what I was looking for. Before Avalon, I was not sure that a Level 12 approach was feasible, and it still may not work, but that it is only going to fail if I can’t find more like Ilie. All over this thread have been the standard Level 6, 7, and even 9 and 11 responses, while the Level 10 perspective might be the hardest one to shake for activists. I did about five Level 10 efforts with Dennis and Brian, and came to realize that the enemy is us. Level 10 efforts do not stand a prayer, being easily defeated, as they usually crumble from within.
Getting to Level 12 was more of a process of trying out or witnessing those earlier levels and seeing how futile and even suicidal they were. A Wiseman is allowed to operate either because he is a provocateur or is playing at such a low level that he can be left alone. I’ll guarantee you that when his efforts were throwing sand into Dennis’s efforts in 1996-1997, Godzilla was pleased. Mr. Skeptic, all of Dennis’s “allies” who tried to steal the business, or were easily hived off to go chasing after the Pied Pipers, both the free-lancers and those working for Godzilla and the lower-level predators, were unwittingly or knowingly doing Godzilla’s bidding. Again, unleashing the provocateurs does not need to be done very often, and only a few are needed, as one is like a fox in the henhouse, especially when the authorities are putting pressure on the effort, the media is slamming it, etc.
To Sandy’s astute post, we all have our good days and bad days, and I have been purposefully showing mine on this thread, to show my readers that we are all human, and the key to being a Level 12 is not being superhuman, but just trying to stay on the horse, and when you fall off, to just get back on it. One major virtue that separated Dennis and Brian from the innumerable pretenders was their persistence. I have seen Dennis and Brian have their bad days, and what was most inspiring was watching them rebound from the slings and arrows and keep trying. Dennis and Brian definitely modified their approaches over the years, but neither really got to Level 12, and maybe because those who can, do, and those who can’t, write. :) But both of them wrote plenty, too.
Almost always, the FE gung-hoers do not want to hear my cautions and the voice of experience, but Ilie has. It does not mean that he blindly accepts what I say, but checks things out for himself, at least those that he does not have to risk his life to check out. Again, that is exactly what I am looking for:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing
One of the first things that Ilie did was translate this essay:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm
into Romanian, and see if it could reach the Romanian FE crowd, and he watched it go over like a lead balloon. That is a great way to gain experience in this field, and it also allowed Ilie to test what I am saying in the real world, and he would come back with an astute observation that showed that he understood what his experience meant. He has rarely had to leave his apartment to do most of that work, taking advantage of the Internet. As I have stated, however, real world experience, of going to see things with one’s own eyes, is vital to shaping a person’s perceptions. Nobody should take my word for anything unless they have had real-world experiences that show them the accuracy of my statements, then they can begin to trust my statements on stuff that is life-risking to pursue, but I always keep that level of “faith” to a minimum. For instance, my friend who got that underground exotic technology show:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
told me about it well before Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses began to talk about it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cia
and the only reason why I really bring up my friend’s show is to let my readers know that FE is real. It is not some product of the overheated imaginations of conspiracists and tinkerers. But you have to survive for many years on the high road to FE before you get a show like that. As I told Scott in our first interviews, I don’t need to get a show like that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVevwmF9oj4
I know the stuff is real. Hearing the Disclosure Project witnesses talk about the exact same technologies was only icing on the cake for me.
But nobody is going dump FE devices in our laps. We need to make effort to move our awareness in that direction, and that is what my work is all about anymore. That was the big thing missing that I saw. People would listen to Dennis when he threatened to pull the quadrillion dollar rabbit out of his hat, or they would listen to Brian because of his ex-astronaut and astronomer cachet, but I never got the sense that people really understood how energy ran the world or what the potential of FE was. As Ilie has been seeing, when FE people talk up FE, it is about saving on energy bills, making America competitive again, getting rich, and all of those square one understandings. Nobody, and I mean nobody, was even trying to help people reach the higher level understandings. I think that part of that was because those higher level understandings require some kind of scientific literacy, and most people are scientifically illiterate and are easily distracted by all of those fringe theorists who are usually misguided. Entire cottage industries have sprouted up around fringe theorists, and it has really served as a big distraction, partly because it virtually never led in the direction of productive solutions to our problems, with the energy situation number one with a bullet.
For instance, the fringe crowd has really been swept up into the idea that Global Warming is some kind of hoax, perpetrated by Godzilla. There are no scientists at all who will deny the heat-trapping properties of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and there are virtually none who are not owned by the hydrocarbon lobby who deny that increasing a primary greenhouse gas is going to have climactic effects. But just like the people who think that the moon landings were faked, or many of the other wacky theories, the “global warming is a hoax” theme is going to play for a long, long, time, just like there are people who still believe in a flat Earth:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society
believe it or not. It is not some The Onion story. I see Level 12 as only an intermediate stage, on the way to either Level 16 or beyond:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level16
or the last non-Level-19 people who were trying to help our species turn the corner before we exterminated ourselves and took most of the biosphere with us. There may be some “middle ground” – those non-FE civilizations that Roads’s Shepherd referred to, but I don’t want to live in a world where George Bush the Eighth is leading the invasion of New Zealand and Australia, after invading Canada, as we take all the desirable land, and we even dispossess white people! :)
So, I am not in Level 12 all the time, but I am there most of it. What I don’t do is backslide to the lower levels. I think about Level 16 plenty, but we can’t go there just in our minds. Once enough of us know that song and can sing it, action will be coming. But until I have a few thousand like Ilie rounded up, you won’t see me trying to mount some charge on the ramparts.
People have to do the work to get to Level 12, which primary means discarding their scarcity-based conditioning, but first they have to recognize it for what it is, which is a big part of my work, maybe the biggest one:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
Clinging to those teddy bears will prevent people from reaching Level 12, and if people get spun up in all the fear-mongering from the mainstream and the fringes, they also will not reach Level 12, because Level 12 can only be reached by those whose hearts are whole. They will know that the means become the ends:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist
and I really don’t want to be the guy with all the answers. I am only one guy. I am going to need a lot of help. I don’t know if anybody else from the FE field will join me, and that is OK, because virtually everybody active in the field today is usually playing in Levels 6, 7, 10 or 11. Only fresh newbies entertain Level 9 delusions, and they are quickly disabused of them if they last very long. I am not advocating the lamb’s path because it is the “safest” (although seeking safety is a virtue in this field, as there are hazards around every corner) It might be the only thing that will work.
Time for chores.

Hi:
I saw this today on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and the Weak Force:
http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Nuclear-Power/Scientists-must-Study-the-Nuclear-Weak-Force-to-Better-Understand-LENR.html
What makes it noteworthy is that it is on Oilprice.com, which is not where you usually see FE talk, but Peak Oil news and the like. I believe that when FE really makes its appearance on the world stage, there is going to be a big shakeup in physics. The Unified Field might come out of it, and when consciousness enters the equations of science, then they will begin to play the Big Game. The ET presence will come along with it, and as we begin to right the ship, communicating with the ETs, after the initial shock, will be one of the more fascinating activities in world history. Will all of that happen in my lifetime? Beats me, but if it does not, then we may just be sailing into the abyss as a species. So, I pray that we get the help we need to get over the hump, but the ETs help those who help themselves. :)
“Empty” space is not empty, and even Einstein revived the ether theory that his special theory of relativity supposedly gave the death blow to. Readers do not need to worry that my upcoming essay is going to dive much into that arcana. For my readers, it will be enough to know that if space is not really empty, then there is something there that can be harnessed, and that is called the Zero-Point Field and other names. I know that it has been tapped, and for a long, long time.
Time for chores.

I put out some of thoughts I had lately.
Through the history of science there has been always one or two individuals who actually brings new paradigm. Collective intelligence of humanity so far miserably failed in innovation or breakthrough in science and technology. I seriously questioned it why often. If long years of education and amount of knowledge really gives true intelligence,most new theories or inventions have to come from elders not the young blood.
I consider scientific activity is all about "pattern recognition" in nature.
The big difference between conventional science and alternative FE theories is attitude towards nature how we put ourselves.
Why few hundreds years ago the elites separate human out of nature itself?
Under extreme materialism FE technologies are feasible too. Spirituality is irrelevant subject.
I learned few advanced civilizations went to extinction because they removed themselves from the very nature and blinded by mighty science. Any synthetic or artificial civilization will fail. The Haven race on Coevolution by Alec Newald is a fine example. They thought they could do anything in the far past, then things got out of prediction. Due to their collective arrogance even though their intention was noble and great, they became the destroyer of entire planet. What a sad story!
I see an uneasy and troubling sign among Free Energy researchers. What they most worry about is destructive human nature demonstrated in recent history. It might be let this ugly civilization goes down, handful of humans will rebuild civilization again. Or responsible intelligent species take over human's position in future. Why not? How many percent of population really can manage unlimited power with great responsibility?
Most humans still think we can do whatever we want. We put our superiority over other life forms at least on Earth. Food production technology, land management, which is Agriculture tells it. Traditional agriculture has been destruction of nature before the industrial age started. This abomination against nature rooted deeply inside human consciousness.
I hardly remember a farmer who respect animals and trees. I see hollow spirituality everywhere in religion and other spiritual communities because the way they live mostly exploitation of nature. Are there any ancient texts telling exactly how to produce food in natural way? Something is wrong big time here. Along this line, I personally give big suspicion towards beings which existed in ancient times.
Maybe planet Earth is just a artificially created school to teach respect and humility for immature souls in the Universe. They come to Earth for relearning mistakes what they had done in past as species? Seriously original builder of a house or land owner can't trash the place like we do whatsoever. I love to see a simulation how chims or gorilla's future civilization behaves in nature. Would they be lost connection completely from the trees and forest or they develop symbiotic relationship with it? One way or the other.
Which Free Energy technology is really safe? Which party will exercise power during the selection process? Thanks to mainstream scientists, we wasted good 100 years to do this critical task as collective. There are competing FE technologies out there. Once the dam cracks, it's irreversible. New revolution or potential disaster I wonder how things go. Using Hemp as biofuel looks attractive to me. One acre of Hemp yields a thousand gallons of ethanol. Hemp has thousands of application including cancer cure effect.
Are there other options left?

Hello Hughe,
In my view, science and Nature should not be at the opposite ends of any spectrum. Nature has been a great inspiration for science, and Nature still does things that science does not yet understand. I may be ignorant of the matter, but the human body is nothing short of an alchemical lab and I cringe when I read scientists tell us how "regeneration is impossible" or how certain teeth, once lost will never grow back. I then have to wonder how did the embryo know to grow teeth in the right place? That small organism is much more intelligent than our science today. And the chemicals and physics required to "run you vision system" is mind boggling. Bring consciousnesses to the table and science is still in its infancy. But the point is: there is no inherent conflict between Nature and Science. I can easily see Nature helping us to the point where with our enlightened science we can help nature in a mutually beneficial relationship.
We are already in a symbiosis with nature. Although lately, we humans behave more like a parasitic infestation, but we are pretty dumb parasites because we are working hard to kill our host.
I don't know if there is such a thing as "safe technology", be it Free Energy or otherwise. Only aware and responsible users of the technology.
Hemp won't cut it. Event though I used to look at it in the past, it's suppression, I believe, is related more to protecting the oil and coal industries and less to "public health care". But planting hemp as bio fuel will quickly get us back to square one: killing every bit of forest to plant hemp for the ever demanding energy requirements. That is not sustainable either.
Solid State Free Energy devices are the way to go, with minimum to zero environmental impact. Current energy practices only seem to be human friendly. If you look deeper they destroy the very foundations that makes human life possible so they are anything but human friendly. We have been living on borrowed time, where our children would have to pay for our comfort, but it seems that we will not be able to deffer that dept for much longer.
Yes, Free Energy has the potential to destroy this planet. But we can already do that today with the Nuclear arsenal. So far we have been able to behave... So I will take the risk of having Free Energy widely available.
Having access to Free and Clean Energy seems to be the only way for humans to live in harmony with nature and still thrive and continue on their evolution/exploration path. Going back to caves or a hunter gatherer life style I don't think is evolution and if it is, I don't want it.
Thinking more about this, I am not sure we can live with a zero footprint on Nature, but with Free Energy with can do a huge lot better than we do today, and with the unleashed creativity we may be able to restore the balance with Nature and live in harmony, without one exploiting the other.

Hi guys:
Big subjects being kicked around here. :)
Hughe, humanity has not lived in “balance” with nature since we learned to control fire. In very real ways, our tools made us:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#cooking
the reshaping of the world has been happening since homo erectus left Africa, and it has only been accelerating since then. IMO, there is a myth that the indigenous peoples had great wisdom in dealing with nature. The megafauna were exterminated wherever humans migrated to long ago:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5
either killed off by human fires, which is the leading candidate for the Australian megafauna extinction:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_megafauna
or by hunting, as happened in the Americas. The megafauna of the Western Hemisphere had never seen bipedal apes, especially weapons-bearing ones, and were as tame as penguins when those apes walked up to all the easy meat and put their spears into them. The megafauna never knew what hit them.
The hunter-gatherer phase is actually the most violent one in the human journey, with
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=591237&highlight=hunter#post591237
between a quarter and a third of all men dying violently. In the indigenous cultures since plants and animals were domesticated, humans changed nature even more dramatically, by altering entire environments so that they could support humans. Farms and pastures are artificially-created environments, populated with artificially-altered life forms, to serve human needs. Cities are even greater alterations of nature, where nature is pretty much banished in favor of humans, and wherever agriculture was practiced, cities were not far behind.
I will grant that Stone Age peoples, especially those whose ancestors killed off all the candidates for draft animals (the Western Hemisphere and Australia), did not create the metal implements that made deforestation and plow agriculture feasible (it is arguable that they had not "progressed" that far yet), and the Western Hemisphere and Australia were in relatively pristine condition when the invading Europeans arrived. But as the Polynesian Expansion demonstrated, humans still exterminated all the easy meat wherever they showed up, where the Maoris devastated New Zealand’s bird-based ecosystem in a few centuries, driving to extinction all the big birds:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=531531&highlight=zealand#post531531
and as soon as the Polynesians got ahold of Western weaponry in the “Age of Discovery,” or even in the Americas, they began fighting and conquering their neighbors, even enslaving them and committing genocide:

There is no Golden Age of the human past. We have a killer ape heritage that is still with us. The bonobos overcame it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#bonobo
as the bonobo economy allowed for greater female participation, and the females overcame the male penchant for violence. You have seen me advocate on this thread, several times, that women need to step up if we are going to turn the corner, and the standard of living in industrial economies has allowed for the highest women’s status ever, and I advocate women using it to help us turn the corner. You may notice that I give a lot of attention to women when they engage this FE subject, as they are more needed than the men are, and when I can win a woman over to this cause, I try to keep her. The hard part for most of them is becoming scientifically literate enough so that they can keep their eye on the ball. You have seen me advocate a peacekeeping force staffed by grandmothers so that everybody plays nice when FE becomes publicly available. If not, there is some risk of the killer ape dynamic getting out of hand, but as Ilie observed, and I have, too, we have had nuclear weapons for longer than I have been alive, and everybody has been playing nicely so far, at least since the USA used them on civilians:

A field of hemp is in no way in “balance” with nature. What existed on that land before the hemp was planted? What animals lived there? The issue, as I see it, is what we use our tools for, and that is always rooted in what is in our hearts. Science is nothing more than a process for studying reality, and I have written for a long time about how the materialism of today’s scientific establishment is a religion which is really setting us back. I recently put up two directions that our global civilization can take:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115
Both worlds were technologically advanced. But one chose love, and worked in harmony with nature in ways that are incomprehensible to today’s humans, even though that world is only three hundred years into our future. The other world continued along the trajectory of greed and indifference that is increasingly dominant in our era of scarcity and fear, and the nature of their world was in a hellish state. The issue is not really technology, per se, but what is in our hearts, and people in scarcity live in fear. That fear is an ever-present background hum to our existence, but we all have the choice: do we reinforce the hum of fear, or do we change the song?
As Bucky said, the choice before us is Utopia or Oblivion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
and, IMO, it hinges on the energy issue, as it always has.
On science and scientists, the greatest theoretical breakthroughs in math and science nearly invariably were achieved by men in their twenties: Newton, Einstein, Heisenberg, and so on. When Brian O was applying to become an astronaut, his peers were concerned that Brian would waste his best years as a scientist performing stunts in space:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sacrifice
These are big subjects, Hughe, and thanks for bringing them up. You are voicing Level 5 fears:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
and facing them is good work, but chasing some agrarian fantasy ideal is not the way we are going to go. Even small-ball “solutions” that people such as Heinberg advocate:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
are not practical in the slightest, and in order to make his arguments with a straight face, he has needed to semi-ridicule FE and then dismiss it. The potential of FE is vastly greater than its peril. The potential outcome of FE, that is a ways down the path of understanding, is that it has the potential to end the Era of Scarcity, and that era is all that humans have known, so their fears are somewhat understandable, but everybody who denies that FE is even an idea worth thinking about is doing Godzilla’s bidding, either unwittingly or knowingly. I am not ceding humanity’s future to Godzilla’s diseased mindset, and I hope that you don’t, either.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Welcome back Robert!!
"and I advocate women using it to help us turn the corner. You may notice that I give a lot of attention to women when they engage this FE subject, as they are more needed than the men are, and when I can win a woman over to this cause, I try to keep her. "
Well I certainly don't want to add to Wade's reading list!! But I will mention I have just begun reading "The Politically Incorrect Guide To Women Sex and Feminism" by Carrie L. Lukas. Forgot where I found It (read too much), and I hope it continues to be as intelligent as the opening.
Women were empowered by Feminism - for a New York minute. Then strange things happened (purportedly discussed by this book) and while I have been well aware that feminism was hijacked almost before it happened, I have to say that with FE the guys would never have to share in housework (the "second shift") and the women wouldn't notice.
I appreciate your perspective Wade. We haven't got the 100 cent dollar yet. Very few understand that the Catholic church didn't interfere with abortion till 400 years ago. And now its just a political smokescreen. Yes, many issues get complicated by those who stand to make a buck.
We women do understand "it's comin' from the bitchin that goes down in every kitchen that determines who will serve and who will eat" zdePVqDPa6I
Poem opens, not song.
And he mentions FE in this same poem.

It is difficult to open here with 'Good morning', because that might be quite incorrect if you are on the other side of the world :) but it really looks like a beautiful morning here and I hope that it is like that for you wherever you are ~
Sandy - thank you for your post above, you touched some very valuable points that were quite usefull for me to ponder about, I appreciate it.
Robert- Welcome back ~
About Woman, I wouldn't like to open another subject matter which is not related to energy (although is relates to our personal energy) but since CdnSirian has already touched the subject I will continue. In this time period and for obvious reasons, we all refer to the faminine energy as the 'medicine of the world'. Wade wrote above that when it comes to FE, woman are more needed than men.
When I read his words, I had a reaction and I asked myself this: A- shouldn't we strive for balance between the masculinity and famininity, as more often than not these days life shows us that balance is the key? B- is the distinction between men and woman as a gender is correct? If we think it through, masculine and feminine energy is not related to gender since both men and woman inhabit the two in very percentages, and to add yet another layer to these thoughts, what role our soul is playing in this vs the physical body? Our soul was both woman and man in previous reincarnations, can it possibly be assumed that it changes from one past life to the other? I personally do not feel either man or woman, but I am sure that I have more distinctive male attributes over my woman's one.
In Wade's post above I found some very inspiring thoughts and observations -"when you fall off the horse, you just get back on it. " derives from a real life of experience, as well as high level of humanity, honesty and a rare understanding of the human nature. -"we all have our good days and bad days, and I have been purposefully showing mine on this thread, to show my readers that we are all human.." . I really wish that you will find many more Illie's, Wade. for you but most importantly for the world. not all of us readers can follow what is required to be part of the effort, because of variables factors in our lives. I know that some aspects in my own life are quite out of the ordinary and I can hardly share it with anyone, we live in quite an unusuall times!. there are also many health issues that I struggle with that limits the possibility to keep my eyes on the ball. so personally I am unable. but others here potentially can and I rather stay here and try to learn as many aspects as possible and try to evolve towards a level 12 state of mind. I think it is a worthy intent which can only result in winning. I do understand, though, that unfortunetly it is impractical towards your own goal.

Limor, I agree with you that the feminine and masculine energies need to be balanced within each of us, ideally. Yet on a social level, females do often embody the feminine energy well and can function to balance the predominance of the male/warrior/ energy that has dominated for long, and that Wade describes so well on his site. And that's if people in female bodies are not excluded from various arenas.
I wish you health and strength! Love your pics.

Hi all:
To my “woman” remark and the responses, what I meant is that women have been almost entirely absent from the FE milieu, and they are needed. Most men come from the inventor/scientist/business end of it, and then we also have the delusional Young Warrior newbies. And of those male dynamics are partly why the field is in the state of arrested development that it is, as it is a Boys’ Club. Women will bring a balance that is sorely needed. I only know one woman in the FE field, and I help support her financially.
That balance best needs to be within each person, ideally, but it ain’t easy. So, when women are involved, they need to try to get scientifically literate and worldly to some degree, and when men are involved, they need to lay aside the conspiracism, the storming the ramparts ideas, stop thinking that tinkering is going to get us there, and so on. Women are going to find the lamb’s path an easier one to walk.
Take “medicine,” for instance. One of the biggest problems with the medical field is that men run it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#masculine
That comprehensive perspective that I keep writing about is balanced above all.
This morning, I want to revisit an issue that is coming up, which is the distinction of what Level 12 means, versus Level 10 in particular. I have done this before:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=421441&viewfull=1#post421441
and this will be more succinct. It partly goes back to that balance that Limor referred to. Structuralists and Conspiracists both have a lopsidedness to their perspective, and the main reason for that lopsidedness is thinking like a victim (AKA – the fearful perspective):
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness
One camp denies that Godzilla exists because the implications frighten them, and the other obsesses about Godzilla and thinks that he is the root of our problems. Neither camp owns the situation as creators. I have written it for years: Godzilla’s share of responsibility for the FE conundrum is between 5% and 10%, with the rest of humanity responsible for 90% to 95% of the problems. On a per-person basis, Godzilla is quite overrepresented, but there are only some thousands that make up Godzilla’s organization, and there are seven billion of the rest of us. If only several thousand people woke up to Level 12 awareness, it would be game over for Godzilla, and he knows it. Making FE and abundance unimaginable is his greatest triumph.
In general, Level 10 efforts seek to involve the masses, so they aim for the lowest common denominator, but they really don’t take it far enough. The lowest common denominator is that we all need to eat. If somebody took it that far (and Level 12 does), there would also be sympathy for Godzilla, not denial that he exists, or obsession that he is the root of all of our problems. Basically, Level 10 appeals to some kind of selfishness or victim-orientation (“Let’s tackle those evil corporations!” – a la the Occupy Movement), while a Level 12 effort will appeal to selflessness and a creator’s orientation. I could give many examples of this, but will limit it to a few, to show the contrast.
Karl Marx and Charles Darwin performed their seminal work before the science of energy really got going, and it is evident in their works. Darwin kind of got it, stating that modern animals would outcompete Eocene animals, or noting how Old World plants and animals, honed by in their fierce competition, readily displaced the indigenous life forms of New Zealand. It was all about carrying capacity, which was an energy concept that had yet to really be fleshed out in Darwin’s time. In fact, Darwin and Malthus are considered the fathers of the discipline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_biology
but it was not really expressed in energy terms in Darwin’s work. Similarly, Marx would write about the “means of production,” but the stress about capitalism (a term which Marx coined, but the institution far predated him), socialism, and communism was all about social organization, with energy never really entering the picture. Marx was really all wrapped up in the exchange aspect of economics, not so much production, which he rather assumed, or focused on the social aspect of production, not what really drove the entire process (energy).
Marx expressed his Young Warrior delusions in The Communist Manifesto, to get sobered up when he saw how the Paris Commune turned out, and in his old age, he advocated peaceful revolution whenever possible, and his buddy Engels outright rejected violent revolution by 1895, writing in his forward to Marx’s Class Struggles in France, “We revolutionaries [he meant Germans – ed.] can advance far more quickly by legal means than by illegal and revolutionary tactics.” I think it is safe to say that Marx and Engels would have been horrified by the Soviet and Chinese experiments in communism, which were among the deadliest ever to their “domestic” populations.
Even today, the “left” sees violence is a viable solution:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#left
and only reject it for tactical reasons, never because it is a spiritual violation, and their materialism has blinded them to the fact that the means become the ends:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist
People writing a century later, such as Earl Cook, could see the battles between the capitalists and Marxists as fighting over who gets to steer the Titanic, and that iceberg that capitalist and communist “means of production” are both heading toward is the exhaustion of hydrocarbon energy. But even people such as Cook are completely left behind by the reality that FE technology has been around for probably a hundred years, initially suppressed by Robber Barons such as J.P. Morgan, with the game being taken to high levels of refinement today by Godzilla. FE makes obsolete all capitalist, communist, and socialist ideologies, as they are all based on who gets the benefit of the scarce resources. Only people such as Bucky took it to the next level:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics
seeing that all the scarcity-based political-economic ideologies were useless in achieving abundance.
One of the most enlightened voices in the Left is Michael Albert, but his radical economic manifesto, Parecon, did not even mention energy:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#parecon
being totally wrapped up in the social aspects of economics and imagining the ideal workday of a person mired in scarcity. It was a pretty damn boring read. FE and abundance is totally outside of the paradigm of the “radical” leftists, with them unable to even imagine it. When faced with the idea of FE, their reactions are invariably Level 3 or Level 5 (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3), or strange combinations of them, along the lines of:
“FE is impossible, but if it was, it would be the worst nightmare possible! Stop thinking like that! You would only open Pandora’s Box!”
That is the tune that Heinberg sings, and his “solution” is depopulating the planet:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#austerity
in a view where abundance is not only unimaginable, but when the subject is broached, it is treated like the enemy. I have found this to be the case with all environmental organizations, and my suspicions from the 1980s were confirmed when I recently read that the environmental movement is rooted in self-flagellating Calvinism:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=646730&viewfull=1#post646730
The very definition of politics is people finding their mutual self-interest and pursuing it, and that selfishness defines all political-economic ideologies. Pursuing their mutual self-interest is the only thing holding the dark pathers together:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving
so the self-defeating nature of all of today’s political-economic ideologies and “activism” becomes obvious to those who think in FE and abundance terms. Only “other-servers” have a chance of making a dent, and their selflessness will be the hallmark of their approach, which is why I am looking for needles in haystacks, because those people pretty much do not exist on the planet today.
I leave this issue today with one last example. When the evil drumbeat began for the invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2002, I had plenty of people around me who could easily see where that was heading, and I was involved in several peace marches before we invaded Iraq, and some friends began standing on street corners with signs, well before the invasion, advocating peace. I stood with them one day, and watched passing cars giving them the finger, and other niceties, when they weren’t ignored. As the genocidal aspect of the invasion became clear to anybody who did not have their head buried in the sand, and as reports of using chemical weapons on Fallujah came out, to eventually be even admitted by the USA’s government (only when exposed by the Italian media, with never a peep coming from the USA’s media, even the crimes witnessed by the “embedded” reporters), and the tales from Abu Ghraib filtered out to the public, my friends kept manning that street corner over the years. After years of standing on that street corner, one of my friends was actually interviewed by some local media, after the atrocities of Abu Ghraib and Fallujah became impossible to deny any longer (and like the My Lai Massacre, those events were only days at the office, and only the tip of the iceberg of what was happening over there). Here was her chance to make her voice heard. What did she say? “Invading and occupying Iraq is not in our national interest.” Her appeal was all about America’s self-interest. That is where she was trying to reach Americans at. Not that we were killing Iraqis (and Afghanis) at rates that rivaled Hitler, not that our crimes were right up there with the worst imperial crimes ever committed. Nope, no appeal to anybody’s conscience, but an appeal to their self-interest.
When I read that, I shook my head. My friend was not motivated by self-interest, but is a dear and caring person, a Florence Nightingale-type figure, but when it came time to be heard, she sang the song of self-interest, probably because it was the only one that she thought that her audience would hear. Our politicians openly express such motivation:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#nader
and I never heard a peep of dissent. Any “activism” that is couched in appeals to self-interest is just more of the same. Selflessness does not sell on this planet, but amassing enough of it is the only thing that will make Level 12 work, and my readers can be forgiven for thinking that I am living a Peter Pan existence, but the lack of personal integrity is the very reason why we are in the predicament that we are:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#why
and only a selfless perspective will get us over the hump, and women already have the inside track on that over men: women rarely abandon their children, while it is “normal” for men to.
OK, it is time for chores.

These are important moral issues. An underlying urge for self sacrifice is a rare characteristic with human beings, In a world of plenty it probably won't be necessary .
Will we always say the truth without embellishing it? I answer to myself that, yes, I will. but who knows? to a friend who asks about her new hair cut I might say - 'enjoy it short in the hot summer days' without expressing an opinion, but when it comes to the world around us I will spill the beans depends on who and what is infront of me.
The way synchronicity go, about two month ago, I wanted to search more deeply about psychotronic and microwave weapons, I wanted to know how is it possible for one to defend themselves from that.
Since I am thinking about taking some translations work from English to Hebrew I went one evening to hear a lecture about the subject. when it ended, I was walking to the bus stop and an older man who also attended the lecture began to talk to me. we spoke a little about translation, editing and writing and I gave him my email adress to send me something, a couple of days later he sent the email and I found out that he is the editor of an important magazine in Israel called 'Technology'. while I checked the magazine's website, the first article on the main page was about microwave technology and another one was about RFID.
In a mail he asked about what would I have prefered to write about, if I was writing instead of translating, I decided to answer truthfully that nowdays I am only attracted to write about things that are important to me and which I find interest in, and when he wanted an example for what I mean, I replied (rough translation) -
"I am currently interested in everything related to the world and to topics which are refrained from being told to the public, unfortunately the world situation as we know it Is highly distorted, most people today can feel that something is not working properly, the economy does not work, there are defense issues, social issues, health, ecology, things are not working properly and we are beginning to be more and more stressed, we need to work a lot harder in order get ourselves a little bit of peace of mind
All these things have a reason, and this reason is known to many millions around the world
These are the things I think we should inform the public about :)
Microwave technology and RFID chips are part of it"
That was two months ago, we are having an interesting correspondance now.

In regards to the prominent importance of feminine/nurturing energies in making FE and a more selfless world become a reality, it should be kept in mind that having the "potential" for a quality is not the same as having actualized and cultivated it. Case in point, my general experience at my particular place of work (a hospital), and of being in a low level position, is that someone being born biologically female doesn't automatically entail a more nurturing personality and fairer treatment, oftentimes the male nurses I've interacted with were more feminine in that respect.

Hi Enishi:
There are obviously no absolutes or dogmas in this realm that are helpful, but more men than women are murderers (including the organized murder known as warfare), and more men than women abandon their children (two of the greatest sources of negative karma). The numbers are dramatic on those scores. We have recently had the sensational trial where a “babe” murdered her man, and she may face the death sentence (Jodi Arias - and she was pleading just today to avoid the death penalty). If a man murdered his wife, the trial might not even make the news, and it certainly would not be a media circus, unless the defendant was somebody like OJ.
When a woman abandons a child in the West, it is almost considered a capital crime, whereas when men do it, it is almost a “so what?” We can always find a man who is more caring for an infant than a woman, but women are biologically wired to be nurturing, and it gives them an inside track on being other serving. I think that should be obvious. Carry a fetus for nine months in your body, and then provide all the infant's sustenance for some time, and there is a kind of bond that a man will never know and can barely fathom. There is something highly significant about that process.
There is a term called “single mother” that is a virtual demographic category in the USA, while “single father” is not something that you hear very often (in fact, I am not sure that I have heard the term). My two brothers and I were taken in by my mother after we left home the first time, when we were up against it, while my father never did, and my father was by far the most comfortable, economically. My case is by no means unusual.
I'll tell you what - very few members of Godzilla, if any at all, are women. :)
Not too long ago, I read that every wife's secret fear is that her husband will kill her, and that every husband's was that his wife would laugh at him. A bit apocryphal, but nobody who hears it misses the point. Almost any husband could fairly easily kill his wife if he was inclined to, and way too many do.
The primate line has been too male-heavy for many millions of years, and we are still seeing its effects today.

Hi:
That American journalist in the UK wrote of the latest admission by the Obama administration, that the “war on terror” is essentially endless:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/may/17/endless-war-on-terror-obama
but he failed to mention Orwell’s 1984:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell
How that journalist failed to write about Orwell, writing from the UK, of all places, was surprising.
Not everybody missed the obvious parallel:

Mike Krieger signed off his article with this very accurate pharagraph:
"Nobody really even knows with whom the US is at war, or where. Everyone just knows that it is vital that it continue in unlimited form indefinitely.
1984 really was an instruction manual for the people in power. Terrifying"
This reminds of the constant war between Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia in Orwell's
'1984', a perpetual never ending war, also the three slogans of the Big Brother party:
War is peace,
Freedom is slavery,
Ignorance is streangth

Hi:
I remember when 1984 rolled around, and there was a lot of mainstream debate on 1984 and why it did not come to pass. The crazy thing is that in many ways, it did come to pass, and is with us today. That we now are living in precisely the kind of world that Orwell predicted is predictably not even mentioned in the media, as their job is blasting us with the telescreens. Osama bin Laden was our Emmanuel Goldstein (we now need a replacement, and I am sure one is being readied), the way that Iraq went from ally to enemy overnight (as the Soviet Union did after World War II), the surveillance states that the USA and UK have become:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Court
and the way that economic statistics have been rigged:
http://www.shadowstats.com/
are right out of 1984.
The media itself is all-propaganda, all the time:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big
And now, as if there was any doubt, George Bush and friends declared a permanent war in 2001, and twelve years later, Obama is only confirming it. The overthrow of Libya was just another oil grab and is paving the way for more African intervention, using Al Qaeda as our tool, once again.

They are called “freedom fighters" when they do our bidding:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorist
and terrorists when they don’t (or maybe they are always doing our bidding, false-flag-style).
There are aspects of 1984 that did not come to pass exactly how Orwell foresaw, but they are kind of quibbles. The corporations became more powerful than states, so they are behind the propaganda, not the state. Godzilla is a totally private entity, so private that the public does not even know it exists, and the sitting American president only knows that he is a puppet:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents
totally in the dark regarding the really important issues. In many ways, we are well on the way to that nightmarish world that Roads visited:

The contrast between the trajectory that the West is on (and the world, as the West drags the world along with it), and the potential of what could be, if harmless, abundant energy was introduced, is usually way too much for Joe Average to wrap his head and heart around, so he buries his head in the sand between swigs of beer. It is not easy to have one’s eyes open in today’s world, but I am looking for the brave few who can. Acknowledging the darkness is an integral part of seeking the light.

Hi:
Before I tackle a bunch of chores, a word on conspiracism, as kind of a continuation of this post:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=676901&viewfull=1#post676901
Whether Osama bin Laden was acting on behalf of the CIA for 9/11, or the “hijackers” were, or they were doing it on their own initiative, after being trained by the CIA:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski
is a pretty fine distinction in the bigger picture, and probably not worth the efforts of conspiracists to try to unravel from the outside. I won’t call them over-eager hobbyists as the mainstream portrays them as, but conspiracism is really kind of egocentric. I have yet to find a conspiracist regarding 9/11, for instance, who emphasizes the fact that the USA killed more than a thousand times as many people as were killed on 9/11, people who were just as innocent victims as those on 9/11, even arguably far more innocent (Ward Churchill’s “Little Eichmanns” comment, which essentially cost him his career, is actually a pretty accurate assessment of Wall Street’s and the Pentagon’s employees).
As Eugene Sledge realized as he settled in for his first night in hell:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#expendable
he was expendable. Millions of Americans die each decade at the hands of the medical racket:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#devours
as diseased Americans, usually the victims of their own unhealthy lifestyles, are seen as nothing more than profitable pieces of meat while their hearts still beat. All Americans are seen as expendable, except for the elites, and they get the best that money can buy, although as with those gray beings that Roads encountered:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115
everybody is a victim, in the end, to such an evil system. We have a culture that grants secular and religious sainthood to murderers and thieves:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint
but conspiracists get indignant when they are the victims of the shenanigans, but usually could not care less when the victims are dark-skinned people around the world who get ground beneath the juggernaut.
So, a few thousand Americans are sacrificed (either as predictable blowback or false flag) to justify wars to militarily dominate the greatest energy resources on Earth (at least officially :) ), which ends up slaughtering millions of highly-expendable “darkies”:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
In the calculus of the war planners, that is an acceptable price to pay. Whether it was a predictable response to what we are already doing to that part of the world, or whether they had a hand in making 9/11 happen, is not really very relevant, except if you are an American who can’t handle the realization of: “I am expendable, too?”
The only way out is when Godzilla says jump, and Americans do not ask, “How high?”
The erosion of civil liberties (with Americans eagerly giving them away) that accompanied 9/11 is a positive-feedback “bonus” to the war mongers and their corporate sponsors. The structuralist perspective is far more mature than the conspiracist one:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism
but their conspiracy-phobia also short-circuits their awareness:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti
usually leaving them stuck in Level 3:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3
with their “intelligence” trapping them more thoroughly than almost any other level.
This is all part of the conundrum. Conspiracism and structuralism, in the end, are governed by fear:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness
A loving perspective does not get trapped in either of them, but sees them for what they are: attempts to understand their world, but stunted by their fears.
In many ways, both practical and spiritual, love is the only answer:

Hi Wade, Hi fellow awake people of The healed planet sub section
The last two weeks on this site have been engrossing and I have been looking forward to reading what is going with all the different perspectives from the group that read your work on Healed planet, I have been in the food industry all my working life and I am disgusted with the greed of the multinational companies as well as the wasted food that is thrown away by the big boys.
I noticed Illie had been in a food store and noted that the food on sale ( i think was apples ) was class two, and not class one, this nonsense has been going on for years and many a farmer has gone bust and often lost his lively hood when the goods the he offers up don't look good esthetically as it should for the big organizations.
I have retired early thank goodness from this madness and I see that the wonderful Nestle is trying to suck the earth dry of all the best water supplies and its Chairman says they have every right to take this water from us and then sell it to us, this really make me sick. I never have and never will buy bottled water unless I am abroad.
So I know that we can produce free energy and anti gravity machines and with this I believe we can give people free food, there is no need for people to be starving in this planet, when I see the pictures of children starving in Africa, I wonder to myself that country has everything it needs to grow enough food to feed its people, but because of internal conflicts most the money it has, goes on the military and ammunition.
I send my thanks and my love to you all, love is the key to change everything, I have just been informed that I am going to be a grandfather by Christmas by my son, that good news,. I am hopeful for the future for us all , I know we are going through a very difficult but significant time in this planets but the signs are good when I read so many good posts from you few good people.
Keep up the good work my good friends
Best wishes

Hi:
I am going to become fairly quiet at Avalon beginning next week, and hope to be fairly quiet until I get that essay completed later this year.
As I wrote recently, the name of my game is helping people think in epochal terms:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=674575&viewfull=1#post674575
because FE and what comes with it will be by far the biggest epochal change in the human journey. When the epochal nature of FE and its implications are truly understood, it is actually kind of hard to not keep your eye on the ball (unless you are frightened by it, and then you flee or attack), which helps explain the persistence of people such as Brian and Dennis. For those of you who don’t harbor much doubt about the concept of reincarnation, think about it: you are here at the biggest juncture in the human journey, and you can help us get over the hump. For any soul that is here today, this is the “show time” lifetime. Either enough of us are going to see the ball, keep our eyes on it, and stand up and be counted, or we may very well slide all the way down to the bottom of the hill and have to start over in a new species, probably one that cannot manipulate its environment, such as cetaceans.
When I see people express their impatience with making FE happen yesterday, I have a certain amount of sympathy, as impatience is my Achilles heel, and Earth and humanity has been in an emergency state for my entire lifetime, and it has been amped up quite a bit in recent years, and we probably have seen nothing yet. But impatience will get us nowhere.
Very likely, none of the other epochal changes were engaged with the slightest sense of awareness that it was an epochal change. The only exception that we might be able to make is that with industrialization and the resultant social organization known as capitalism, where people were forcibly removed from their connection to the land and became “employees,” many astute observers knew that they were seeing something new (See Wolf’s Europe and the People without History, for instance).
For this epochal change, partly because the changes would be so monumental for our species, the resistance to even the idea of FE and abundance has been something to behold for people like me. And kind of like World War II (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward), everybody has an opinion, and they can diverge greatly, but I have seen very few that were productive opinions, and were nearly invariably the product of projecting assumptions of scarcity onto a situation of abundance. The resulting logic that operates from an assumption that begs the question will be highly dubious.
What becomes evident when thinking in epochal terms is that the zeitgeist of current events is meaningless when compared to the epochal nature of what we are on the brink of. When people begin to think big, the daily drama and other distractions become noise and nothing more. The ego can have a very hard time coming to grips with this stuff. The ego gets drawn into the drama, wants to win, and so on, and one of the big hazards of beginning to wrap one’s mind around the epochal nature of FE are delusions of grandeur:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur
But it is just one of many pitfalls that await the aspirant. I have never found anybody who avoided all the pitfalls, and the ones still active were able to claw their way out of the pitfalls when they fell into them, if they survived the experience. Reaching Level 12, as I have stated many times, is like walking the razor’s edge, and it has everything to do with shedding our scarcity-based indoctrination and living from the heart. There is almost nobody on the planet today who even wants to reach Level 12, as they have other “interests.” I recently had a long talk with an Avalonian, a pretty “radical” one, and I asked him if he knew anybody like him in his daily life. I knew the answer, but I had to pose it to him, so that it dawned on him how hard this is going to be. A Level 12 aspirant will truly be a needle in a haystack.
I have stated it repeatedly: becoming a Level 12 will be hard, thankless work, but it just might be the most important work on the planet, because a Level 12 awareness, properly focused by enough people, just may be the missing ingredient to getting FE past humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression. But Level 12 aspirants are not going to be able to recruit Level 12s among those they grew up with, punch the clock with, or socialize with. In fact, those people will usually do what they can to get the aspirant back to singing the song of scarcity, or ceasing their “silly” or frightening abundance talk. The target audience of the Level 12 choir will not be people in the daily lives of the choir members. And I see Level 10 people, all the time, who resist that reality, as they think that the herd will wake up with talk. They won’t. They will begin to wake up when FE is delivered to their homes:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli
and not before. If the ETs or Ascended Masters showed up, they could also catalyze such an awakening, but they hide in the shadows, for their own reasons.
At this stage, I am asked, fairly regularly, what Godzilla looks like. I have stated it plenty: when Godzilla’s minions show up, they try to look like angels.
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=604711&viewfull=1#post604711
and what really amazed me was how blind people were to their shtick. An angel does not take out an ax and begin using it on people, but that is exactly what Godzilla’s minions did when the time was right, and I had to be treated to the spectacle of people cheering Godzilla’s minions until the dagger was put in their backs:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#angel
Their naïveté and blindness was almost always willful, being dazzled by the carrot being dangled, while oblivious of the dagger, even when they saw it being sunk into people such as Dennis. How they could be so stupid, to be sucked in like that, to not think that their turn was coming, was one of the most sobering aspects of my journey. That kind of naïveté is deadly in this field. When I get the choir going, I will be putting up ways to spot Godzilla’s minions, but, really, if I have to explain it very much, the choir does not have a prayer. Level 12s need to be worldly, too, not just idealists.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
My quiet time at Avalon begins soon. We will see how much I post at Avalon in the next several months. I need to keep it to a minimum, as it will take time from the essay. I feel a fair bit of pressure to get it done. This may be the only opportunity that I get in my lifetime, when experience and study intersects with time and a mind that is still sharp enough to get the job done. My mind is not as sharp or quick as it was thirty-five years ago, during my college days, but it is all that I have, so I will do the best that I can. My mother and grandmother became demented in their old age, and I will do all that I can to avoid that fate, and doing brain calisthenics is part of my plan.
That said, I am not too concerned with failure. My essay will have to be good enough for now, and I think it will be. Just what is on this thread since July is good enough to sketch it. The goals for my essay are several, which are:
1. Help my readers develop a comprehensive perspective, above all else;
2. Help my readers understand the scarcity-based thinking that dominates human thought today, just as it always has;
3. Help my readers get a glimpse of what an abundance-based world can be;
4. Outline my strategy for getting there.
That can seem pretty simple, but almost nobody on Earth today can go there, mired in varying flavors of scarcity-based thinking and a limited perspective. It is just how it is today. I will also do my best to avoid the many rabbit holes that await the aspirant, or at least point them out. Some are life-threatening in this field, while most are just time-wasters or of dubious worth in attaining my goals. A comprehensive perspective is a balanced one above all else. The pitfalls that attend this path include getting too mystical or too materialistic – where the aspirant becomes ungrounded or too grounded. We all have our talents and failings, and the game I am playing is to amass enough talent to succeed, and minimize the risk of failure. Again, this may be seen as more of a support effort than anything else. I am not looking for heroes, and am doing what I can so that Godzilla does not feel a need to intervene, and I am taking an approach that seeks to keep opportunities for intervention to a minimum.
Part of that strategy will be shooting for quality over quantity. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that he would rather march with one person who understood why they were marching, instead of a hundred who did not. When I read him say that, I knew that he was an experienced activist, and FE activism is the most perilous activism on Earth. I am going to be very picky on who is going to be part of that conversation that I will mount. Level 10 efforts want to include everybody in the game, with a come-one, come-all attitude. After being part of several level 10 efforts, I came to realize that the teeming masses are worse than worthless for FE activism, easily manipulated by Godzilla and the lower-level predators, but they rarely need to intervene at all, as almost all Level 10 efforts collapse from within because not enough people have the right stuff. That envisioned conversation will bear faint resemblance to what you have seen on this thread for the past couple of years. It will be a high-level conversation, engaged in by people who have done their homework, who know the stakes of the game, and have a healthy appreciation of the potential and pitfalls.
I have already written on the needles that I seek:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=669254&viewfull=1#post669254
Those who I will try to recruit to the choir will already be singing publicly, and some are already singing a song like mine. But for most, this will be a new and unusual song, one that has rarely been heard on Earth before, and never in chorus.
One thing that I want to make clear is that people will not need degrees in science to be part of the choir, although it will help. On this thread since July, almost everything has been White Science, because White Science is plenty to understand how energy runs the world and always has. I will not tread much into fringe science, for a few reasons, one of which is that most fringe science is invalid. You won’t see me flacking for Velikovsky’s theories, or the neo-Velikovskian Electric Universe theories. The Electric Universe people don’t fare so well when interacting with actual plasma physicists or professional scientists who study stars. I have probably a dozen alternative physics works here at home, with the various theorists making their cases. They can’t all be right, and likely few of them are. On the FE physics front, it will be enough for my readers to understand that Einstein himself revived the ether concept that his special theory of relativity supposedly delivered the death blow to, in a talk that he gave in 1920, right after the (premature) triumph of general relativity:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=599559&viewfull=1#post599559
The primary upshot is that empty space is not really empty, and there is energy there to farm, probably one hell of a lot of it, as Einstein’s protégé suspected. Then I will take it a little beyond the theory to present stuff such as Sparky Sweet’s:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet
where I have encountered several scientists who saw Sparky’s device in action and studied it. Also, Sparky’s fate needs to be understood:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky
and here is where my credentials of somebody who has been through the FE meat grinder will lend gravitas to my points. One close pal got a peek at Godzilla’s Golden Hoard:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
and even if people dismiss that because they were not there to see it themselves, (I have literally received that kind of denial over the years), there is no denying all the patents that have been classified, most of them being energy technology patents:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=514878&viewfull=1#post514878
If a thinking person ponders that for a moment, and realizes that radical new energy technology has not appeared on the market in my lifetime, they should easily get the sense that the kibosh has been put on energy innovation in the USA, and the West in general. I know that the suppression apparatus has a global reach, but the West is really where Godzilla focuses his effort, in the USA in particular, because there are more pesky inventors there than anywhere else, and I am sure that most of that quiet money:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff
has gone to Americans.
My few fellow travelers in the FE field have all been through various grades of meat-grinding. The grinding that Dennis has been through might be the finest grade of all:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis
Most in the FE field today are pretenders, but I know my fair share of contenders. Many are dead, some by murder, and some by wrecked lives that hastened their demise, and some just grew old, after being at it for many years. For instance, Brian O survived an incident that shortened his life:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack
which was very likely a murder attempt.
Those kinds of hazards just come with this territory, and after burying a partner whom I got involved in my mess:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
I am determined to not bury anybody else whom I get involved in the FE milieu, particularly anybody in the choir. I already have too much blood on my hands. And here is where my experience comes in handy, and if I did not have it, I would certainly not be embarking on this effort. I wrote recently what when Godzilla’s minions show up, they always try to look like Boy Scouts:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=677852&viewfull=1#post677852
In fact, I will put a face on this one. If there is anybody at Avalon that looks and sounds like an overgrown Boy Scout, it is Dennis Leahy. I highly doubt that Dennis is one of Godzilla’s minions, but when Mr. Texas inveigled himself into our inner circle:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=585787&highlight=hodgell#post585787
he looked and sounded just like Dennis, on the Boy Scout Scale. And I watched Mr. Texas lure people into his lair who were supposedly a lot smarter and worldlier than I was, and when I saw those “geniuses” get into bed with Mr. Texas, as he simultaneously put the dagger in Dennis's back, it was like watching a child climb into a strange car when somebody dangled a candy bar out the window, and all of my warnings fell on deaf ears as I watched them drive away. Mr. Engineer survived the process, but later admitted what “saps” he and Mr. Researcher were:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=414080&highlight=saps#post414080
but by then, it was too late. When Godzilla’s minions appear, they will look and sound like Dennis Leahy, and they will dangle candy bars (“Hey, we deserve to make money doing this, and I know how we can.”), while they also will try to take me and anybody else important out (“Wade is not the right guy for the job. I am, and if you support my play to remove Wade from the scene, you will have an honored place at my side.”). This is not only the standard MO of Godzilla’s minions, but it is the same MO that all of those people used to steal Dennis’s companies. It is not easy to distinguish Godzilla’s minions from the free-lance predators, as their MOs are nearly identical.
The early attacks on the choir will be led by people such as Mr. Skeptic, who will lie out of both sides of his mouth, as usual:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=410817&highlight=gritz#post410817
and he will gull the naïve and the undiscerning, as he has already done in the FE field:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/skeptic.htm
I do not expect anybody to automatically believe my side of the story. As with all areas like this, people need to do their homework if they are going to reach productive understandings. As I have stated plenty, reaching Level 12 is like walking the razor’s edge, and not many are willing to do the work required to get there. I am looking for the few who have, and as I have stated many times, Ilie is the gold standard of what I am looking for. Many of our exchanges are not public, but right now he is reading another book that I have mentioned, and is doing his homework. I don’t know how big his “Wade” bookshelf is right now, but it is substantial, and he is doing it from Romania, where obtaining those books is far from easy. In this realm, as with all areas of life, you get out what you put in, and knowledge is truly never wasted, as our awareness is all that we take with us.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

These occurances are very deceptive in nture. Usually there is the 'I am one of the guy/girls/group' appearence where a lot of support is bestowed over the majority, Which then in their turn will show a lot of support in him/her, a lack of objectivity in relations to this person and lack of a critical eye. Deeds and words are not always equivalent, and words have different meanings and truth has a few layers. There is a game that is going on, but it is hidden to most eyes. Taken as a couple of flaws in the person's nature, which can be tolerated. There is a great charisma in there, and a lot of friendliness most of the time. People are captivated by the dominant personality, or, in some cases the personality appears rather valnurable which attracts a lot of sympathy. 'The lure into the lair' is done slowly and meticulously , the method often works where one hand stroking and the other hand is passing 'constructive criticism', there is never, however, an open attack on the object, not in the early stages.
At times the object himself can fall into the net, if his (or her) senses are not sharp enough. when they are flattered, when being told that they are more advanced than others, that they are having great impact, that they are 'special'. Many are being lost in this place. and common sense and reason are being affected.
Such a situation does not require increased paranoia towards any of those around us or an increased feelings when it seems we identify such attempts. Only standing firm and having a clear understanding of the inner guidelines which have led and lead us to our initial conclusions. Our first 'diagnose' that we made towards an idea or towards someone who is leading it is very valuable, and will not let us be stirred away, but what is most valuable above anything else is this high level of integrity Wade is talking about, it is priceless and can not be taught. when this is what leads someone's intentions it is easy to spot, when it's not properly there or only partly, then it is wise to simply not buy into it, to give up on the attention. A store that has no clients is forced to close down despite a well planned business plan. If the intentions are not complete and full authentic then it is better put to rest.
P.s
Our Denise Leahy is not undercover of any sort : ) as he more often than none wear his heart on his sleeve, (we love you, Dennis!) , but I think that the comparison to an overgrown boy scout is well understood since it this the one that attracts most people's affection and solidarity and from here it is easy to divert the original intention to something toatally else

I am in the middle of chores, but briefly, it seems that Limor may have encountered the type whom I am referring to. :)
Not all of Godzilla’s minions play the game as deftly as Mr. Texas did. He was good, which is why he was likely hired to help take us out. Bill the BPA Hit Man, from what I know of him, was not as suave, but Bill had fake alternative energy credentials that he developed long before he was sicced on Dennis:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm
Spiritually-inclined people call them self-servers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), or dark pathers, or simply evil-minded, while in the scientific West, such people are often called psychopaths. Whatever we want to call them, the really accomplished ones are masters at mimicking emotional states and using them to manipulate others. When Mr. Texas took his mask off and stole the company, while making sure that Dennis stayed in jail, most of those in the operation were totally taken in by him, with his “reasonable” arguments. When he took off his mask to Dennis, he did it in a way where nobody else could see:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#performance
When Mr. Deputy took his mask off for me:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces
it was the turning point of my life, and I made Mr. Deputy’s next year rather uncomfortable. He overplayed his hand, thinking that rubbing my face in evil was going to intimidate me. He reckoned incorrectly, but going up against evil is costly, and it ended up costing Mr. Professor his life, and I was young enough to survive the experience.
I have already had my example of Dennis Leahy misunderstood by at least one person. My point is that Dennis is about as genuine and good-natured as you will ever see in an Internet forum, and he is the epitome of an overgrown Boy Scout (and those following my threads will know that, as I have described him that way before). And when Godzilla’s A-Team is put on the case, they initially look like Dennis. Bill and Mr. Texas did not have to bide their time very long before they struck, because Dennis Lee moves very fast. But, with me, and this leisurely pace that I am setting, if there are a few of Godzilla’s minions at Avalon, and nobody should harbor serious doubts that there are, they can play sleeper for quite some time before they exploit their opportunities when things get active. And, again, all the “protection” that anybody really needs to those games is to realize that the ends do not justify the means. The means become the ends:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist
and when such sleepers make their moves, it really only takes the mental horsepower of a five-year-old to spot them:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#forgetting
It is similar to Noam Chomsky noting that in order to be unable to see the imperial motivation behind the USA’s foreign policy, it really takes willful blindness. All of our awesome imperial crimes, crimes that are beginning to make Hitler look like an underachiever, are called “blundering efforts to do good” in the mainstream. That is the standard position of the so-called Left toward Vietnam and Iraq today. In order to be taken in by the imperial apologists, or Godzilla’s minions, a person first needs to be self-deceived. Once people successfully deceive themselves, then Godzilla’s minions misleading them is like taking candy from a baby.
I have yet to see one of Godzilla’s high-level minions who was a woman. The women who were involved in taking out Dennis’s operations in Seattle and Ventura actually did not enjoy the experience, with one abandoning her career in the midst of bludgeoning Dennis’s company:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hatchet
If I had seen one before, then I might have used Sandy as an example of what one of Godzilla’s most accomplished minions could look like. :)
The day that grandmothers with an appearance like Sandy play sleeper for Godzilla, I will have to admit that he has taken his game to new levels. And even if somebody like Sandy was a minion, the same standard goes for discerning her actions, or mine. If any of us advocate underhanded actions of any kind, then you will know that we either do not have the right stuff to play the FE game, or we are trying to undermine the effort. And when that happens, it is up to each of us to exercise our discernment. When you are a minion “virgin,” it can be pretty incredible to watch them in action, when you finally realize what they are. As Limor said, there is no reason to become paranoid, but just be aware and vigilant, and not only for minions on the loose, but direct that vigilance inward, as honing a high sense of conscience is the key to getting us over the hump. It works for walking that razor’s edge, and a little testing by Godzilla can “help,” although Godzilla did not intend it that way. :)
Best,
Wade

Not if if the virgin gives up scarcity, hold abundance in her heart, inject some faminine energy and hold the divine as the only one accountable..
(These are the serious consequences of what happens when the cat is busy with chores and his composed essey, and leave the others to watch on the cream.. : )
Here is one more thing that is not plausible in a world that is familiar with Free Energy: http://www.theglobalistreport.com/power-companies-to-begin-switching-off-appliances/
It is all quite illogical when understanding our possibility to tap into the ZPE and change the world , quite ill - logical that is.
So much energy is wasted on 'lack of resources' and restrictions, when the road to the real wellbeing of this planet and of ourselves is paved right ahead. with Free Energy being implemented, the world problems will diminish one by one, maybe five by five in what will translate as some hugh steps. Free energy is about to change the course of this planet and that of us human beings. We demand that this will happen (calling out there to whom ever is ready to listen..) we are ready! whether we consciously know it or not.
We finished playing the games, most of us understand the lessons, we are ready for the next step of evolution, ready to be connected to the endless possibilities that are out there, ready to take care of our own, most willing to take care of our home. We are ready to take responsibility! If anyone is listening out there, could you please give us a sign? Or maybe it is that we need to give this Q to ourselves
Wade Frazier
26th May 2013, 12:37
OK, the cat is back for a minute. :)
Part of the choir idea is to see if a high-level conversation can even be mounted. That in itself is a kind of test to see if we are ready for FE, or at least some of us are. For somebody who had to suffer from waves of trolls in other forums:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll
being stalked by a “skeptic”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning
and so on, that I have even been able to have this conversation at Avalon, where threads like these could be mounted and sustained:
http://www.projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?29372-What-technologies-activities-or-concepts-will-be-made-obsolete-by-Free-Energy
has actually been an accomplishment that I have never seen before, and finding the Ilies, Limors, Sandys, etc., is something that I was not sure was feasible, and Bill has been the author of this feast. Bill came to the same conclusion that I did, after watching “alternative” forums turn into flame wars, troll orgies, and other unproductive activities.
I helped Ilie get past inventor-itis and some of the other pitfalls, where he did not even have to go diving into the rabbit holes. That was a big win. I rarely see inventor-itis posts on my threads these days. If you go back early on this thread, an inventor-itis post was made almost daily.
I had a conversation with Dennis Leahy recently (and I told him that I would use his face as an example of what Godzilla’s A-Team members look like :) ), and he said that the central role of energy in life on Earth and the human journey finally clicked for him not long ago. He realizes that making an FE device is the easy part. So, there has been a great deal of progress, even though it might not look like it to the casual observer. We have a long ways to go, but we have really made progress of a kind that I was not sure was feasible, and that progress points to the idea that maybe my choir idea has a prayer.
Yes, Limor, when you develop an eye for it, all the small-ball “conservation,” the fracking, tar sands mining, shale oil mining, and other dregs-sucking activity sure seems insane, when you know what is being kept under wraps (not to mention oil spills, nuclear incidents, genocidal invasions to seize the oilfields, nuclear arsenals, etc.). To briefly go back to that heavenly world that Roads visited:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
although they had FE, they also did not waste energy, either. There was no venting excess energy or pollution to the environment, street lights being on all night, and other affronts to nature. They could control the weather, but chose not to, to work in harmony with Earth. When people get past scarcity-consciousness, egocentrism should also largely vanish, as scarcity is the crucible where egocentrism is forged. Take sports, where there is always an ultimate winner, while everybody else loses. Becoming the ultimate winner is even more important than making the obscene sums of money that NBA players make, for instance (at least for those who amassed that pile of cash). That is Young Soul behavior (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael). In a world of abundance, even the idea of competitive sports would vanish. With FE and abundance, so much would change, and in ways that currently are incomprehensible to most people. But that is normal. I even have a hard time imagining the changes. An American in 1800 could not imagine the life of an American in 2000. Just imagine an American from 1800 time-warping into 2000, where people jump on airplanes and travel the globe, where we put a man on the moon a generation previously, where the physics of the day is completely incomprehensible, where we all use machines that think, and I can be in daily communication with a woman from Israel whom I have never met and consider a friend. Women are not barefoot and pregnant, slavery is something in our distant past, people bathe daily, and living to be seventy years old is normal. A simple movie would be magical, and imagine a person in 1800 watching an episode of Star Trek TNG. :) Even the idea of a galaxy was new and unusual in 1800:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy#Observation_history
and the idea that there were virtually limitless galaxies was the leading edge of scientific speculation.
The materials in our daily lives are completely incomprehensible to the visitor from 1800. Aluminum had not even been discovered by scientists yet, much less in use, and all plastics were far into the future. Our cities are powered by some kind of magic called electricity, which Ben Franklin would have called lightning in a bottle:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity#History
There would not be much about an automobile that would look familiar to that visitor from 1800, and Google's cars that drive themselves would have been off the scale.
The change from today’s world to an FE-based world would be another order of magnitude or three of incomprehensibility. But we at least have works of art that hint at it, such as Star Trek (TNG, not the current reboot).
Today, "skeptics" such as Isaac Asimov think that we have it all figured out:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#skeptic
such are the self-satisfied delusions of establishment intellectuals from every era so far.
On my list of things to do are some posts that imagine a day in the life of some of the people in that heavenly world. It will have to wait a while, I think, but it is on the list of things to do.
Back to chores.
Best,
Wade
Wade Frazier
26th May 2013, 13:09
OK, another brief post, on a topic that Roads’s visit to that heavenly world brought up:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
those little “dome buildings” that Roads investigated, that were empty, was some form of pure energy that had been fashioned into a structure, that could be expanded to cover a square mile, and could not be dented by a tornado. If you have a scientific background, that little encounter is mind-boggling. That the portable ones fly at spaceship speeds and respond to the minds of the “drivers” is equally mind-boggling. And, again, I do not consider Roads’s account to be science fiction or fantasy. For those who dismiss it all as fantasy, think about that visitor to 2000 America from 1800 America:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=679065&viewfull=1#post679065
But the changes to that 2300 Earth from today’s are far more dramatic than the changes that we have seen since 1800 (in that future heavenly Earth, the idea of nations was as obsolete as slavery was, and there was no such thing as race - everybody had golden skin (which some channeled material has mentioned that we will experience, and I made a post recently that showed how race itself will end when people are no longer constrained geographically)). But, most importantly, the people in that heavenly world chose love, and that led to all else in their world. Those who still choose fear and all of its trappings will also have a 2300 world that may look very different than today’s, but it might not be so nice:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115
Again, I have spent a lot of time, in the nearly twenty years since I first read Roads’s account of those two future worlds, thinking about those worlds, the role of energy, how it led to scarcity or abundance, how the inhabitants chose love or not, and how it led to those realities. It has been one of the stars that I steer by.

Hi Folks;
Well I finally finished reading Dennis Lee's "The Alternative". It was a difficult read for me. I had to put it down, read some other stuff and get back to it later on. It was difficult because as I'm reading I'm imagining what it would be like to be in Dennis's shoes. That sinking feeling of being up against a Goliath, it's not pleasant. I couldn't help but admire his courage and tenacity. There's no doubt in my mind, he's an exceptionally awesome man.
However, it became clearer to me why Wade is taking this lambs path, he's doing his best to keep us all out of harms way. I don't ever want to be in the situations Dennis was in and I very much appreciate Wade's attempt to warn and educate us of the dangers. I recommend reading it for anyone considering being a potential choir member.
The book will shatter anyone's last remaining beliefs in the 'just-us' (legal) system. I've never gotten tangled in that web and I plan not to. The highlight for me was when Dennis got to serve his parole in New Jersey instead of Ventura. And even then if it wasn't for his high integrity he could have easily been ensnared again.
The book describes in depth Dennis's attempt to tap into the patriot movement in america. And again it became clearer why Wade is not seeking the lowest common denominator (a Level 10 type effort). People clouded by their own agendas and ideologies are of no help.
Less than a chapter was spent covering the standard NWO, conspiracy type of stuff. I already knew most of it, having spent a fair amount of time researching conspiracy related topics. I acknowledge and respect it but I also known that dwelling there is of no help either.
My one criticism of Dennis would be that when he would do his economic projects into the future they seemed overly optimistic to me. But hey, I've never parlayed next to nothing into millions of dollars. Nor do I want to! I'm beginning to see how money, even on a donation basis, opens (an effort/group) up to a number of vulnerabilities. That's a big topic, perhaps a little premature.
Anyway, that's my take on "The Alternative". Next up, I went ahead and bought Road's first four books. Half way into the first book and I can say this is much easier to read, way more up my alley being the nature guy that I am.
Be Safe Y'all;
Darren

Hi Darren:
Congratulations! You are the first person I ever encountered (other than people in Dennis’s organizations) who read The Alternative (and Mr. Skeptic, of course :) ). Perceptive review, too. As anybody who has been a part of something like that, and has seen it rendered into a written account like a book, something like The Alternative can only hit the highlights. That said, what highlights they were. If people read the book, it will quickly become evident that my role is greater than I let on publicly, and it will likely become obvious why I do it the way that I do.
Perhaps strangely to some, I am much more interested in Dennis’s My Quest than I am The Alternative, and think it is the better book for the FE aspirant, but I am not sure if people can obtain that book anymore. The Alternative is almost all about the raping that we got in Ventura, and does not get much into Seattle and before then, which is when Dennis did his most interesting and brilliant work, IMO. For a student of the “do something” path to FE, My Quest is a goldmine. Like The Alternative, My Quest was written from his cell, when he was slowed down long enough so that he could do some writing. When Dennis wrote My Quest, he did not think that he would live to see this side of the bars again, and I did not blame him, and that realistic perception was behind me mortgaging my life to get him a slight chance of not spending the rest of his life behind bars and probably being murdered while he was in there:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it
Here is a little errata. In The Alternative, Dennis states that I only borrowed $10K. He knows that that was not accurate, but it is what he wrote, probably relating to the fact that the last $10K of Mr. Professor’s fund from mortgaging his house was used to hire Mr. Big Time Attorney:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime
My “line of credit” with Mr. Professor was $50K, and when I approached him for that loan, I knew I was mortgaging my life. $50K was more than twice what I had ever made in a year before that time, and when I did that, I knew that “frills” like owning my home and having a family were not in the cards for me, and it is still true twenty-five years later, although it looks like I will own my residence one day, whatever ownership really means in the USA, when the state can tax and seize anybody’s home. That said, the miracle happened so soon after I mortgaged my life that my heroics were no longer needed when we sprung Dennis from jail, and I did not use up all of that line of credit, with me and Mr. Professor arguing over how much I owed him, in a way where I was saying that I owed him more, and he was saying that I owed him less. Those were the kinds of arguments that we had. :)
And for the next seven years, I sent him a check each month, only wishing that it was a hundred times larger. The Ventura ordeal not only bankrupted him, as it did me, but it wrecked his health and led to his premature death, which devastated me, with that damned voice piping up when I did not ask for it, taking “credit” for leading me to him, as I said goodbye to his broken body:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
No amount of writing could ever properly convey my feelings. When Dennis was flying high for a brief time, he paid back the legal fund loan, and wished that he could have paid it back ten times over.
The first time that I ever heard of that offer that Dennis got from the CIA was when I heard Dennis talk about it at his Cleveland show in the summer of 1996, and then I read about it in The Alternative:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer
That was not long after my Justice Department buddy told me of his encounters with auto industry gangsterism:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb
where they raise the offer by a hundred times when they need to. Another data point is what Greer heard from Godzilla’s “White Hats”:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff
and I came to my “billion-dollar bribe” statement. We were such a threat that even $10 billion may have not been out of the question.
To Dennis’s “overly optimistic” comment, you really have to see Dennis in action to believe it. When they had him in solitary confinement, Dennis told me that he had them just where “God” wanted them.
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary
His “optimism” is something to behold, but it is also not as unrealistic as it might seem. All of us in the field who have played at the high levels know that Godzilla already has the goods:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
and we all have some idea of what the potential is:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
and the voice in Dennis’s head has been far more dramatic than mine:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice
and our journeys were far, far larger than life. That voice leading me to Mr. Professor and then Dennis is something that I have yet to hear of anywhere else, particularly with the stakes of the game that we were playing. We were definitely one of the greatest threats that Godzilla has yet faced, and I can’t get into all of the details publicly, but we gave Godzilla some interesting days in the office, and his sting operation in 1996-1997 took the game to a new level once again:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting
and yes, that territory was a little too rough for this kid who is now becoming an old man. I doubt that Dennis could depict any of it in terms that are too grandiose, although I have told him that when he is pitching, the straight facts are plenty, but he is trying to attract the herd, hence his P.T. Barnum style:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum
which I eventually realized attracted the wrong crowd (although the right crowd does not yet exist). When we start putting dollars on the issue, they quickly become astronomical:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion
and you are also getting at the nub of why I am not with Dennis anymore. He aimed way too low, to get people involved, and he ended up getting the “allies” that the effort was shooting for, and it was not nearly enough to overcome the public’s inertia and the organized suppression.
It took me ten years to finally figure out how doomed Dennis’s strategy was, and I still had to go through Brian O recruiting me into his little quixotic venture:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem
before I finally decided that I was done with the FE field and those paths to FE that I had tried or seen tried, and that eventually led to my current choir idea. It may not have a snowball’s chance, either, but if nobody goes rushing off half-cocked, to “do something,” then I think that the only person who might be risking his life is me, but as can be seen at Avalon, the gung-ho newbie is one of the FE archetypes. I was once one, too. :)
I don’t want any more blood on my hands, and I also don’t see the point, other than learning the hard way, and my greatest hope is that nobody that ends up involved in FE because of me goes out and learns the hard way. But the ego is a seductive mistress, and I have tried to get people to hold their horses, but I can see that some will not listen, and just have to go out and see how real Godzilla is. The good news, I suppose, is that only somebody like Dennis or a tinkerer who actually comes up with something (very rare) ever gets to the level where Godzilla needs to get involved, so most gung-hoers will trip over their own feet and fall on their swords long before they get within hailing distance of Godzilla’s lair, and if they actually are productive at all, their family, friends, and “allies” will likely take them out before the other predators do.
We could go on for days into why I think the way that I do, and yes, the very act of taking in money creates many vulnerabilities that Godzilla and others readily exploit. This is all part of the conundrum.
For instance, let’s say that we ever get to the point where the 5K-7K members of the choir “infect” ten times their number, and we actually start to “do something,” the money flow would be perfectly transparent, with everybody knowing where it came from and where it went, and the technical project would not get patents or play the rest of the capitalist game. That is all a long, long way off, so we do not need to even discuss it much right now.
Thanks again for reading.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
The next month will be Bucket List chores, so I will be pretty quiet at Avalon in the coming weeks. Two people have died before I could visit them (one I just found out about this morning, and it may not be the last news I get like that in the near future), so the notion of passing time and a sense of urgency is with me. Gotta get that essay done this year, and then some, and then we will see what happens.
Just one last thought before I sign off for a little while, and this has been coming up again and again, and it is far from the first time I have broached the subject here. Can there be a nobler cause on this planet than getting humanity over the hump into an epoch of abundance, and heal the environment in the process?
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=674575&viewfull=1#post674575
I know of nothing worthier to pursue than that, and nothing will get us over the hump like FE will. It is not even close, unless the Creator shows up and infuses us all with love, but he hides in the shadows, too, for his/her own reasons (although the mystics will tell you we asked for it, but nobody can remember it, so it certainly was not the conscious minds on Earth today that asked for it). Even if the ETs show up, if they do not bring FE with them, we are still in a world of hurt.
Again, it is all about love, in the end:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest
But anybody in the choir, or the ten-time-as-many that I hope the choir sings to, should relinquish the idea that anybody in their daily lives will sense the noble mission and respond accordingly. The opposite is almost always the case, and that is where newbies need to get past their naïveté, or this stuff can be very dangerous.
Dennis’s in-laws thought that he was a shiftless good-for-nothing who refused to get a real job. Mr. Professor was the hero of his family, the only son with four sisters and an alcoholic father, who supported everybody at times. When he died:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey
none of his sisters attended his funeral, as they all disowned him years before, accusing him of stealing from the family, a completely unfounded allegation, of course, and his journey with Dennis obviously had something to do with it. I could go on and on with a litany like that, from Brian O to FE fellow travelers, as they were all either attacked, betrayed, undermined and so on, by their “friends,” family and colleagues.
Both of my parents disowning me, the person they raised to be a Golden Boy, and when he was at his most golden, they disowned him, is just par for the course in this field.
The herd does not see noble intentions, as they project their fears, greed, and other delusions and dysfunction onto others. I had my first “Give us Barabbas!” moment when I saw the employees cheer the theft of Dennis’s company in Seattle:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1
and it was just a gentle preview of what I would see in the next few years, which brought me to the horrible revelation that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
Anybody who thinks that they can sing the Level 12 song to those in their daily lives are in for some hard lessons, and the fact that they think that they can sing it to those around them means that they are not Level 12, but stuck in Level 10 delusions. It is OK to be in Level 10 for a while, but it is a dangerous trap to think that Level 10 will work for FE.
In fact, the people who have tried to hurt me the most were those in my life (friends and family), who did get a glimpse of the magnitude of what I am chasing, and tried to “help,” but their so-called help was rooted in their egos, trying to get a vicarious whiff of something so monumentally huge, and when I asked them to stop “helping” (such as sending me piles of tabloid clippings to assist my research, or arguing for violent solutions, and then turning their ire at me when I politely asked them to stop), then they attacked me, hitting me where it hurt (trying to harm my family relationships, when I don’t have many left). This just comes with the territory, and newbies need to realize it sooner than later.
Again, I am looking for needles in haystacks, plain and simple, and those needles may seek more needles, but they will be needles. The needle quest is going to be global, searching high and low. But I need to craft my calling card, first, which my upcoming essay is intended to do.
Enjoy the coming summer, all of you in the temperate northern hemisphere.
Signing off for now.
Best,
Wade

(Just got back from a week on the road with no computer access.)
I have not had Wade's experience (whew!) in having to deal with a monster in smiling human form. I am familiar only in my reading, and if you google the term COINTELPRO, you'll see that infiltration of a group is indeed one of the US government's alphabet agency boys' tricks. Imagine how much worse it would be if there were absolutely no ethics oversight at all (I'm being a bit naive, assuming that the US government has ANY ethics, but because ethics comes from individuals, there may be some - or may have been some when the FBI was originally doing the COINTEL PRO infiltrations of everyone from peace activists to the Black Panthers.)
Well, I assume Godzilla's Gang has - and has always had - zero ethics. And yes, to infiltrate a group, I'm sure they send in the person(s) that can fit in. I'll take Wade's description of me as an overgrown boyscout as a compliment. Coming from someone else, I'd bristle a bit at the pejorative sense of having the baggage of naiveté, but hell, if I really knew the odds of failure that the project I've been working on (The Reset Button) has, I'd just be community gardening and building guitars. For those who evolve themselves into the Level 12 Choir, maybe it will be good if you don't know anything about Godzilla's digestive juices. :~)
Oh, and from a previous post of Wade's about Godzilla seemingly not using women for the dirty work, read the story of John ("Confessions of an Economic Hitman") Perkins, to find out how a woman IS sent in - if feminine charms are what are needed to open the door. Wade's point is well taken though - if and when Godzilla sees a threat, appropriate personnel will be dispatched, and honey, not vinegar, will be the lubricant. However, there is a fine line between vigilance and hyper-vigilance, and hyper-vigilance is fear-based. Plus, I would think it would be difficult to fake service-to-humanity to the extent that the phony is undetectable. Then again, I have not had Wade's experience in having to deal with a monster in smiling human form.

Dennis!
Everybody I respect the most in this field was an overgrown Boy Scout:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts
It is almost a pre-requisite for getting involved.
On Perkins, I write about him here:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist
His "trainer," who seduced him, was basically a hooker. Godzilla does not hesitate to use whatever works, and there are plenty of women who will sell their bodies to "get ahead," but they are usually underachievers on the dark path.

...I am determined to not bury anybody else whom I get involved in the FE milieu, particularly anybody in the choir. I already have too much blood on my hands. And here is where my experience comes in handy, and if I did not have it, I would certainly not be embarking on this effort. I wrote recently what when Godzilla’s minions show up, they always try to look like Boy Scouts:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=677852&viewfull=1#post677852
In fact, I will put a face on this one. If there is anybody at Avalon that looks and sounds like an overgrown Boy Scout, it is Dennis Leahy. I highly doubt that Dennis is one of Godzilla’s minions, ...

I should have read more carefully. "looks and sounds like an overgrown Boy Scout" ain't the same as actually being called one, (much less being one), and I am certainly not "cut from the same cloth" of those you mention in your Overgrown Boy Scouts (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) essay section of your "A Healed Planet" website. Nor have I been tested by fire like they all have.
I need to slow down and read more carefully.
As for the fact that you have not only read John Perkins' book, but offered a synopsis and your insights and praise on your site, well of course you did! hahahahaha Note to self: assume a comprehensivist probably is well aware of one of the more important books and authors of the past century.
I need to speed up and read more of your website! :~)

Wade,
I know you're working on sifting through and finding the gems from an enormous pile of books and synthesizing that info with your personally gained info... but in the mean time, what are the three or four or five books you'd recommend - in their entirety - to anyone trying to reach the "Level 12 Choir" understanding?
I'm not sure if this is true for all of your readers here, but the three breakthroughs (maybe 3-1/2) that I have had, based on your writings here:
1.) It's all about energy. Always has been. Always will be.
2.) Creating an FE device is not the hard part. Opening the door to allowing such a status quo disruptive paradigm (creating "the 5th epoch") is the hard part.
3.) Abundance will ride in on a wave of love - not from a power play or covert action.
and I'm maybe halfway into thinking that even if The Reset Button was successful, even that might not make a difference to the Global Controllers allowing FE - maybe the ruling paradigm rules right over the heads of the US federal government (and would continue to do so, by the enormous pressure they can exert.)
I'm still in the mindset that The Reset Button's success would remove a great deal of corruption as "business as usual" and thus (if nothing else) create an environment more conducive to the emergence of FE. In other words, I can't visualize how it would hurt, and can visualize how it would help. I also think the transition into sanity would be rocky at best if the same/similar cluster of corrupt, colluded individuals are in office - and a much simpler, smoother transition to abundance.
If your writings here are already enough to help someone have those breakthroughs, what is next?
Thanks!

There's a poster hanging in our community woodshop with the following quote by Buckminster Fuller. I thought it would be nice to share it with you all. No need to respond Wade, I know you're busy.
"Love is omni-inclusive, progressively exquisite, understanding and tender and compassionately attuned to other than self."
My prayer tonight is to stop focusing on myself and open my heart up to all.
The Serenity Prayer comes to my mind;
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Together WE CAN make a difference.
Blessings;

Hi:
Dennis, that was one of the most brilliant little summaries of my work’s thrust that I have seen. I will answer posts at my related threads better in July, but on what books I would recommend, I guess that it depends on where my readers start from. My thread since July:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=516792&viewfull=1#post516792
has been outlining the theme of my upcoming essay, and I am not aware of anything quite like what I am planning to write. I have many references in my work to various books that I have digested, and to narrow it down to five is a daunting task, but here are some of my more influential works:
It is old, and in ways dated, but Fuller’s Utopia or Oblivion was my first “paradigmatic” book:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
Multidisciplinary works are the best for helping to develop a comprehensive perspective, and there are not many out there for helping to paint the picture that I am, but some works can be very helpful. As far as my theme on energy and the human journey, including life on Earth, Frank Neil’s Energy: Engine of Evolution:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn3
is a good start. Peter Ward’s Out of Thin Air:
http://www.amazon.com/Out-Thin-Air-Dinosaurs-Atmosphere/dp/0309100615/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370443372&sr=8-1&keywords=out+of+thin+air
is an excellent multi-disciplinary overview of how the view of evolution is evolving, and how life has always been an energy game. Lunine’s Earth is a great introduction to the development of the planet we live on:
http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Evolution-Habitable-Jonathan-Lunine/dp/0521615194/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370442773&sr=8-1&keywords=lunine+earth
Nick Lane’s books are a good introduction to molecular biology:
http://www.amazon.com/Nick-Lane/e/B001IXSEJ2/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1370442994&sr=8-2-ent
As far as what to do with the choir, if I can get it to form, I recently had a long talk on this subject. Again, I am trying to build something that was missing, and what it can do will be several things. The “This or that inventor HAS IT!” talk that you see on this thread and elsewhere is at the kindergarten level of the game. Almost every FE effort that I have seen in the FE milieu has been around the grade school level, where the talk is about saving on energy bills (which is arguably pre-school) or making the USA more competitive, etc. Someplace on this planet, the conversation needs to at least make it to the high school level. I am going to try for that, first, and but I will be shooting for a post-doc level of the conversation. If that conversation can get mounted and sustained, a lot can happen with it. Eventually, it could lead to an effort to actually make an FE device for the public, but that conversation needs to be made and sustained for a long time before that can even be thought of. Newbies want to rush off and “do something,” but that is the Boys’ Club approach, and the entire FE field today suffers from arrested development, partly because it is a Boys’ Club, and partly because of the organized suppression and humanity’s inertia. So, I am unwilling to speculate too much on what exactly the choir will accomplish, but nothing like it has ever been seen before, and it remains to be seen if it can be formed, and that has everything to do with finding enough people like Ilie.
On an energy note, here is what the aftermath in Iraq looks like today:
http://www.globalpolicy.org/political-issues-in-iraq/oil-in-iraq/52265raq-at-the-brink-a-decade-after-the-invasion.html?itemid=id#40722
The USA has a lot to answer for, globally, with Iraq just our latest imperial crime, and crime that makes the event that precipitated it, 9/11, entirely inconsequential. Millions of orphans in Iraq…it boggles the mind. Afghanistan is in similar shape.
I don’t have time right now to make a better post, but will get around to it one day soon.
Best,
Wade

If LENR continues, I don't think anything will have to happen; our existence is still fairly market driven (though our desires are heavily manipulated, it is still our desires that drive the market) and if an affordable energy production device comes out it will sweep the markets, the changes will come fast and heavy.
The E-cat from Dr Rossi is the only 3rd party verified devices that I know of, and is approaching a level that will be nearly impossible to stop (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?59376-Third-Party-E-Cat-Test-Results-Published--Indication-of-anomalous-heat-energy-production-in-a-reactor-device-), once is in households and manufacturing plants a new revolution of industry will follow (I'm sure all of this is old news).
and it will cascade quickly to the lowest levels, at the very least improving life quality for a great many peoples, now does that equate to relief from our current system, I think it will.
This is the only (realistic) "light" at the end of the tunnel I have seen for some years, and I've been looking.

Ok, and how much attention have you seen these "kindergarten" or "grade school" level discussions gather?
I think we need to keep the learning curve shallow (or VERY shallow) if there is any hope of gaining the critical mass of support needed to push past constrictive efforts.
crawl - walk - run... it would be nice to run (hell, we NEED to run) but I don't see that happening, this will have to be an incremental thing for it to be done correctly and responsibly.
Someplace on this planet, the conversation needs to at least make it to the high school level. I am going to try for that, first, and but I will be shooting for a post-doc level of the conversation. If that conversation can get mounted and sustained, a lot can happen with it. Eventually, it could lead to an effort to actually make an FE device for the public
Granted, I may be very in the dark on this.... but what "FE" device have you seen that is a) functional and b) ready for mass production?
, but that conversation needs to be made and sustained for a long time before that can even be thought of.

It seems to be that "doing something" has begun with the E-cat & while it's still a seedling, this could easily become the tree we sit under for the next discussion of the direction of humanity (implication: lots of time & adjusting to abundant energy will be needed for the majority of humanity)

TargeT,
You know Wade’s response to your post already. From what I have managed to comprehend so far, Wade worked side by side with the man who wanted to do the same what Rossi plans. That man, Dennis Lee, is now, almost, a synonym for a conman in USA. I don’t believe he is. But this is what has been made of him by corrupt “legal system” officers and msm. Because Lee does not wanted to accept “quiet money” offered to him in exchange for stoping his FE enterprise and disappearance.
Rossi sells his 1MW units for $1.5mill (4 months delivery) and yet has no price tag for 10kW home version (my rough estimate is $15,000, based on $/kW, Ouch!). Though one can sign onto waiting list without an obligation to buy. He wants to patent his work and does not reveal full working principle in the application for international patent. Of which he had been denied. He has not obtained US Patent yet. Or it has been issued a secrecy order. There is no word on US patent on e-cat website. Which means no US of A sales :( imho. He secured an Italian patent so far. Rossi will not attempt to sell anything until he secures his IP. And patent offices are controled by Godzilla. Until suppressors will not go extinct (due to old age or terminal diseases) such approach has no chance. I Wonder what could happened if He went open-source, Arduino style. No need for silly patents… Or kickstart.
Look what happened to Fleischmann and Pons. They were destroyed and ridiculed in a matter of days by a powerful msm machine controlled by Godzilla. If Rossi goes too far he will be executed same way… Or worse. Nobody will risk $15k for something laughed out in The Simpsons or South park.
As for educating the masses. Wade looks for people already educated. His intention, as I get it, is to find people with an open heart, open mind and standing firmly on the ground. People who understand already “this is all about energy, Love energy” and can imagine abundance. Wade’s plan is, imho, to get this people together in an coherent attempt to focus their imagination on abundance. This coherent action will clear the mental-fog obscuring the clear view of what abundance looks like.
I was traveling by train two days ago. Was sitting next to a young couple (hetero, if you really must know). They both talked about money and cost of things and ways to cut corners. For all three hours of the journey. And I was on my way to install some money counting software in a bank… It was really depressing to listen to and think off… Happily the people at the bank were very nice and helpful so everything went (almost) smooth...
Can someone counting every penny in his pocket barely imagine abundance?
EDIT:
On Rossi system. Life time of a unit is 30 years. It is fuel based. This means it needs energy fed to it stored in matter to work. This matter in case of Rossi comes in the form of nickel. It's a commodity resource and it's relatively cheap, yeah. But it will become an energy resource if Rossi succeeds making prices of nickel to rise, energy resource taxes applied and everything requiring nickel to produce rising in price. Stainless steel, magnets and doorknobs. Think of this like bio-fuels driving up food prices. And there is limited amount of nickel ~150mill tonnes. This is not Free Energy. Sorry...
The ultimate goal for a free energy device is for it to be "install and forget". Not requiring fuel. Not requiring maintenance. Not producing waste. No moving parts. Powered by Love. And such devices are already there. Because there is no place for them here. In our heads and hearts.

Briefly, TargeT, I played kindergarten long ago, and have no interest in it anymore. The "this is unstoppable" talk I have been hearing for nearly 30 years (and I even used to say it myself), and, so far, it is always stopped. Rossi does not have a prayer, unless he is allowed to do it. I have no interest in the tinkerer/capitalist path, and you are obviously not familiar with my work. I am doing something very different than what you are familiar with. Robert's reply was a good one.

Wade's trying a different approach. He would applaud Rossi or anyone else that breaks the suppression paradigm and unleashes free energy technologies into the world - but Wade himself and direct associates have been through a near-death meatgrinder for even getting close to opening the doorway. This, and the vast number of inventions that have been bought-out and disappeared, the secrecy orders (literally, several thousand) that have been imposed upon those that have not accepted the buy-out option, and a number of corpses along the pathway have led Wade to try something different. Wade does nothing to suppress others' efforts, he ADDS a new approach.
It's OK for you to cheer on Rossi even if Wade doesn't (because of what I just listed as proof this approach has been tried and has hit a force of opposition beyond most people's comprehension - and within Wade's personal experience. ) Cheer on Wade too! :~)

6th June 2013, 17:13
yes, I'm familiar with Wade's united states based experiences & brushes with the law (not to say those types of things are unique to the US). I've read his web site & if that is considered his "work" then I guess I am familiar with it.
I'm not necessarily "cheering" Rossi, I'm being a bit more opportunistic; but I like his approach & think it has the most potential of any I've seen, He is taking a multinational approach (currently has facilities in Italy, Canada & starting in the US) and has broken through barriers that have never been breached before that I know of (3rd party testing, multiple high profile demonstrations & supposed contracts with major distributers) on something that is not petro chemical based.
It very well could fail as so many others have & while I am currently staging myself to live independent of petrochemical energy, it's not because of the possibility of alternate energy sources (though they would work rather nicely, I'm just going the Solar route with electric vehicles).
I haven't been at this since I was 16 like wade, only a few years; but I've already learned not to get my hopes up over anything & since I work for the military industrial complex, I know how powerful it can be when focused on something; but times are a touch different now I feel, the "beast" is distracted with many fronts gathering it's attention.

Thank you for your opinions, thoughts and discernment in vetting viable inventions, approaches and ways to move the world to a better place Target T :)
Wade's approach is definitley different than the usual route that has been tried for many a year. I stand behind him and his game plan as it is time we used the power that each and everyone of us possess in a conscious and cooperative way. Reality shows that the old ways will not work with the Global Controllers in charge and I don't foresee them giving this control up any time soon :)
The beautiful thing is that we all here on Avalon have hope in humanity in one way or another through our own experiences, perceptions and paths. Often we wish to share them with others in order to gain like minded support, validation and or encouragement and that is all part of being human. I'm happy you are here, as I have witnessed you being involved in other tech/innovative threads for some time now and believe you are very active in seeking alternative and worldly solutions to the woes of mankind.
I like and honour your space and hope that you do not feel spurred by our zealousness for "Total 'Free' Energy" here in Wade's world and nothing less. :) Sure doesn't mean that the world has to stop trying other alternatives as we need all creativity to be alive as much as possible to feed the conscious stream of moving ahead with or without the Global Controllers.
Peace to you Target T and hey what do you suppose the synchronicity of your posting on Wade's thread is all about and what spurred you to join in as I don't recall other posts in the past :) Just a thought I was having when I saw your contributions as I know you are quite scientifically astute from other posts I have read on Adams theories....................
IMHO we are on the path of Free Energy and as in Roberts post of which I agree, that is LOVE ENERGY!! Hopefully we can emulate that Love Energy right here in our contributions to enliven Wade's work on this thread and to a place of creation and reality in the days ahead.
I've typed and deleted several snarky responses.

Hi:
Again, I am not interested in what any FE inventors are doing. Not Rossi, not Keshe, not Steorn, not any of them. Not even what Dennis is doing. I have lived through the utter futility of those approaches, and am doing something different. Godzilla is alive and well the last I knew, and I am trying to do something where he does not feel the need to step on me again. The closer that you get to the market, the greater the resistance, and nobody ever played that game close to the level that Dennis did. Rossi has not even gotten onto the playing field yet. He has no idea what he is in for.
When I see Rossi applying for patents, having “secret sauce” proprietary ingredients and the like, I have less than no interest in it and actively don’t want to hear any more and don’t want to watch. But people continually make off-topic posts about Keshe, Rossi, and other inventors of the hour. I have seen many come and go over the years. My work is not about FE inventors trying to scale the ramparts. All I see in the FE field is inexperience, naïveté, and a Boys’ Club that is going up against Godzilla with pea shooters. I have no interest in the FE field today, as paradoxical as that might seem. When I get that invitation-only forum going one day, there will not be any members stuck at that level. We need to get beyond it if we are going to get anywhere.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have been having some interesting conversations lately, and one had to do with a fellow traveler, one of the most famous in the FE field (who, like me, is not really in the FE field anymore and has little or no interest in it). As I have stated, when Godzilla’s agents arrive, they don’t wear black sunglasses and MIB outfits; they don haloes, looking for all the world like Dennis Leahy:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=678778&viewfull=1#post678778
Again, I have no interest in the FE field today, but I get new data points from time to time, which usually just confirm what I saw and experienced. The conversation was about when the famous FE aspirant was getting ready to “do something,” an ally appeared who was like your best friend, Boy Scout, and spear carrier all rolled into one, seemingly 110% in the aspirant’s camp. The “ally” bided his time, and just when the aspirant began to go charging at the ramparts, that ally stuck his dagger into the aspirant’s back as far as he could. That is how it works, and I am trying to do something where daggers and the like are not important, because nobody is obliviously waltzing into Godzilla’s lair. But I have my work cut out for me, and the Level 6, 7, 9, 10 and other level posts that you see lately on my threads:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6
comprise just more evidence of where almost everybody with any awareness of FE is stuck.
Any FE aspirant who is thinking of charging at the ramparts (who actually has something worth suppressing, which is rare) has sleepers in his organization, waiting for the right time to slit throats and wreak havoc. And one provocateur in a bunch of aspiring “dealers” and others who have their livelihoods at stake is usually all it takes to take the entire thing down, as everybody begins to attack each other, follow the Pied Piper off the cliff, etc., usually as the attacks also come from outside the organization. I lived through more than one of those, as people who read this thread know.
That is just how it is, and I am aiming at an approach that will attempt to avoid such pitfalls, and almost nobody on Earth today can begin to comprehend what I am attempting, and that is OK. The last thing that I expect is some kind of stampede that results from my efforts. I am looking for needles in haystacks. I found a few at Avalon, but the work has not even begun. I was talking with a university professor yesterday, who has been a long-time follower of my work (more than a decade), and he understands what I am trying to do. It is pretty rare when I encounter that level of understanding. What I will be attempting can only help, but will also seek to keep people away from the abyss and wrecked or prematurely-ended lives. If people just do their homework and develop a comprehensive perspective, the only “hazard” is seeing how pernicious and insidious their scarcity-based indoctrination has been. No going back to sleep, once you have awoken.
That stated, I have been thinking about that forum that I will eventually mount, and what it will look like. I will likely have some ground rules published, and I will be thinking about them and presenting them from time to time. The ones that I have in mind today include:
1. No anonymity, of course, which I have long stated. All participants will have names and faces. I might have to require proof of I.D. My jury is still out on what I will have to do there.
2. No personal attacks. Disputes and disagreements will arise, but the last thing the choir needs is animosity amongst its members.
3. Very little naming names, if at all. I rarely name names, for a few reasons. One of which is that they are not important, another of which is that it can be dangerous. I will never do something like Greer does, with his “dead man’s switch.” I named one of Godzilla’s likely agents, after he got defanged ( http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=585787&highlight=hodgell#post585787), but his name is easily found if somebody obtains Dennis’s The Alternative. It would take a little digging to find Bill the BPA Hit Man’s name (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), but it could become a life-threatening encounter for the naïve and inexperienced to approach him. People like that should be given a wide berth. I have no interest in meeting him.
4. No whispering campaigns or other low-level disruptions. I have had two forum moderators (including another forum), recently inform me that somebody who has tried to disrupt my work at Avalon is a back-stabber who sucks people in with the friendly approach, to sink in the dagger when the time is right. I will prevent those kinds of people from ever joining my forum, will bell those kinds of cats whenever they appear, and show them the door.
Those who violate the rules will be warned or asked to leave, and can be ejected if they keep it up, but if anybody needs to be ejected, then I failed in my selection process. But because nobody’s livelihood will be wrapped up in the choir process, nobody will be able to claim that being ejected will harm them. And I will likely eject them quietly. If some of Godzilla’s agents sneak in (and I expect it), they will have a hard time playing their usual games. Again, this conversation will not be like anything that you have ever seen before. I am shooting for quality over quantity, and if the choir starts with two people, so be it. I have no illusions that building the choir will be easy, but it is all about hitting the notes, not about making loud noises.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
One more short post before I go quiet for a few more days, at least. I have been having several conversations with people of a conspiracist bent, and I have been thinking of the conspiracist mindset and the constant “false flag” refrain regarding every recent slaughter in the USA, cranked up within hours of the event by the conspiracists. The recent Boston Marathon bombings are a great example of the diseased minds of the conspiracists. The “they are all actors” and other bogus narratives were spun within hours, and one of the leading conspiracists, who has been a recent voice in JFK, 9/11, and other controversies, was guilty, as usual, of uncritically repeating the most irresponsible allegations, getting the amateur conspiracists hyperventilating and filling my email in-basket with that tripe.
I have long stated that what unites the conspiracists and structuralists is thinking like a victim:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness
and all of this “false flag” mantra is just another variation on the theme, and I thought about it in a slightly new way recently. To call them all false flags is to deny any responsibility for creating those “monsters.” Our gun-nut culture, where the most popular video games are all shooters, where the celebration of our national independence is to simulate bombs going off, where we slaughter millions of people whose primary crime is sitting on resources that we covet:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=652292&viewfull=1#post652292
has its effect on people, and whether the Boston Marathon bombing was due to blowback or covert action is pretty irrelevant in the big picture, just as 9/11 is largely irrelevant on that score. We made those “monsters” as part of our culture and foreign policy, and the only solution is to dismantle the national security state, not beef it up. We are taking a blow torch to the powder keg, as usual.
A creator’s perspective owns what it sees, while a victim’s denies any responsibility for what happens, laying it at somebody else’s feet, usually some unimaginably powerful and sinister force.
As I have been telling people lately, Godzilla is not nearly so powerful as he pretends to be, but he only gets to play his games with the responsibility that everybody has abdicated as they play the victim. If we take back our responsibility, lovingly, it would quickly be game over for Godzilla, and he knows it. My focus is never on Godzilla, but us. To deny Godzilla’s existence, however, which so many FE newbies do, is to live in Oklahoma and deny that lightning and tornadoes exist, or that they ever come through their neighborhoods, because they are “special.” I treat Godzilla like a force of nature, and do my best to ignore him, while being aware of how and when his tornadoes hit.
Best,

Thank you for your opinions, thoughts and discernment in vetting viable inventions, approaches and ways to move the world to a better place Target T :)
Wade's approach is definitley different than the usual route that has been tried for many a year. I stand behind him and his game plan as it is time we used the power that each and everyone of us possess in a conscious and cooperative way. Reality shows that the old ways will not work with the Global Controllers in charge and I don't foresee them giving this control up any time soon :)
I think change is coming regardless of our work, as all is cyclic in nature, so too will what you describe wane as another paradigm waxes into its place. Helping it along is certainly a worthwhile cause!
The beautiful thing is that we all here on Avalon have hope in humanity in one way or another through our own experiences, perceptions and paths. Often we wish to share them with others in order to gain like minded support, validation and or encouragement and that is all part of being human. I'm happy you are here, as I have witnessed you being involved in other tech/innovative threads for some time now and believe you are very active in seeking alternative and worldly solutions to the woes of mankind.
I think we all have our very important part to play, I’m just trying to do mine to the best of my ability, thank you for the kind words.
I like and honour your space and hope that you do not feel spurred by our zealousness for "Total 'Free' Energy" here in Wade's world and nothing less. :) Sure doesn't mean that the world has to stop trying other alternatives as we need all creativity to be alive as much as possible to feed the conscious stream of moving ahead with or without the Global Controllers.
I absolutely agree, & think that one of the greatest things we can do is STO oriented actions & I applaud all efforts; we are a community, us earth dwellers.
Peace to you Target T and hey what do you suppose the synchronicity of your posting on Wade's thread is all about and what spurred you to join in as I don't recall other posts in the past :) Just a thought I was having when I saw your contributions as I know you are quite scientifically astute from other posts I have read on Adams theories....................
IMHO we are on the path of Free Energy and as in Roberts post of which I agree, that is LOVE ENERGY!! Hopefully we can emulate that Love Energy right here in our contributions to enliven Wade's work on this thread and to a place of creation and reality in the days ahead.
I'm trying to think of a reason now and I cannot come up with one; Wade has had several thread titles that made me think the main thrust of his efforts was quite different than what I've learned (maybe correctly, maybe not) in the last day & through several revisits to his web page.
Threads with thousands of posts like this do not often gain my attendance; perhaps I had gotten too much (or just the right amount) sun exposure. (haha)
I understand now that my efforts here were derailing, but once the foot is in the mouth, it's hard to get it out without leaving a little dirt ;)
Again, I have no interest in the FE field....
....That is just how it is, and I am aiming at an approach that will attempt to avoid such pitfalls, and almost nobody on Earth today can begin to comprehend what I am attempting, and that is OK.
Best,
Wade
Ahh, I see, you are working from more of a spiritual/mystical non-physical theoretical standpoint, to a casual reader (Me!) this isn't immediately clear & maybe why you are getting unwanted responses like my previous ones.
If I understand what you are attempting to do, which I probably do not based on your statement above (? shift from the belief that all is limited & there for "we" must act to protect it, horde it, exclude from it etc.. aka Fear based living ?) it doesn't really seem that complex. Switching thinking from scarcity to understanding that a "resource" is not a fixed thing & that more and more items will be considered "resources" as humanity finds uses for them, that matter cannot be destroyed only changed & therefore we never run out of anything will definitely bring a positive change.
If I'm even remotely close to understanding your thrust, then best of luck, your and my goals are pretty much the same even if our approaches are different. If I'm not understanding & you feel to exasperated to explain it to a functional-level-12-conceptual-level-21'er like me or do not have a concise summary in that massive web site of yours you can point me to then I understand also.
There are many ways to skin this cat; one of us will find the best way.

My intention is to be a part of Wade's Choir.
Why?
--- because the possibilities excite me
--- because Wade's approach is the most logical, grounded, well reasoned, heart centered and safe approach that I've yet discovered
--- because I too believe it has the best chance for success
--- because I want to see humanity make it over this hump
--- because I've been extremely blessed and I want to give back to the whole
Therefore, in order to be a potential candidate and a productive participant I realize that I must start with my own personal empowerment. I must shed old thought patterns that do not serve me and embrace positive healthy new ones that do serve me. I must adopt a 'Peaceful Warrior' approach towards my own healing and self discipline. So I've created the following outline as a guide for myself. I share it with you all as a template for you to edit, amend, fix, improve, adopt or disregard.
FE MANIFESTATION STRATEGY
HEART:
* Intention -- for the highest good of all life, human and non-human, on this planet
* Create from the heart with joy, make it fun
* Embrace abundance, open myself up to abundance, share abundance, create abundance
* Love myself, Love others, Love creation, Love Godzilla
* Forgive myself, Forgive others, Forgive Godzilla
* Integrity -- where am I out of line with personal integrity? Re-align!
HEAD:
* Clear Head, clear thinking
- detoxify
- eat healthy food, fast
- exercise
- meditate
* Envision and Imagine abundance for all
* Envision and Imagine FE becoming a reality, Envision how it can happen
* Comprehensive Knowledge
- gain diverse personal real world experience
- gain diverse personal mystical/spiritual experiences
- read/study diverse applicable material
- seek inner guidance
- cultivate intuition
* Self Examination
- What obsolete belief systems and ideologies am I holding on to? Release them!
- What lies have I bought into? Release them!
- What are my strengths and weaknesses?
COMMUNICATION:
* Improve/practice writing skills
* Improve/practice public speaking skills
* Learn to discriminate and be strategic in communicating with others
What level of the FE onion are people coming from?
* Have compassion and understanding for others points of view
Communicate lovingly from the heart
POWER:
* Adopt a 'Peaceful Warrior' approach towards all aspects of daily life
* Cultivate: discipline, commitment and perseverance
* Release: fear, anxiety, paranoia, scarcity and victim thinking
* be a creator, think like a creator

Thanks for your great post Kudzy :)
The thought and heart you have exhibited in rendering these guidelines for yourself are very comprehensive IMHO and will keep you vigilant and on your toes for the most part. Sure hope you have some slippers with protected toe shafts as I think you may need them from time to time:)
I find that ``being abundance`` enacts behavior that depicts the above guidelines in automatic and genuine ways, unless fear of something or scarcity in some mode creeps in. Thus this is a great list to check when needing to re-align one`s self.... Thank you for sharing and being here. Hugs

Hi:
I only have a few minutes here, but briefly…
Hi TargeT:
Thanks for your consideration. I am doing something different, and it is not very easy to understand, and I have no idea if it will work, but it can’t hurt.
Hi Kudzy/Darren:
Boy, did your post ever give me a “mission accomplished” feeling. That is one of the best I have ever seen. Thanks for being out there.
Sandy did her usual…:)
One day, I will write about what I have been doing lately. Some of it is pretty incredible, and some of it I am not sure how I feel about. Some of the highest players on Earth have been snooping into stuff in my circle, and I am getting pulled this way and that, but I am going to do the best that I can to get done what I need to get done, and we will see where it goes from there.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I have a little time this morning. As I have stated many times, I am trying to provide something that was missing from all FE efforts that I ever saw or was a part of, and that is an aware and engaged public. The public would pay attention when Dennis was about to pull the rabbit out of his hat, or listen to Brian because he was an astronaut, but people were not focusing on the important issues, motoring under their own power, but paid attention because somebody attracted their attention for a moment, and when a Brian or Dennis stopped speaking or was wiped out, the audience went back to watching their favorite TV show or hacking at the branch nearest them, and really never focused on the root, or never in a truly enlightened way. You could call my attempt the enlightenment path to FE, however grandiose that may seem, but that really is the issue. Brian openly wondered if we were really a sentient species:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience
and when he said that, after five years of playing the Paul Revere of FE, I sadly understood what he had been through. I am not trying to engage John Q. Public with my work. It will be available to him, but I am not catering to him. I can only engage him when I deliver an FE device to his home. I am aiming far higher today than pandering to scarcity-based ideologies to get my foot in the door, trying to pull people away from the TV or the New Age flavor of the day or the inventor of the hour. I am trying to help a tiny subset of the global population develop comprehensive perspectives:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing
because when they do that, the energy issue will come front and center into their awareness, because energy is literally everything in the universe that we see today, and energy literally makes everything happen, from the shining of the sun to the beating of our hearts.
I have tried or witnessed all the usual ways that people have approached the FE project, and they all were doomed by the lack of integrity of their participants, the organized suppression, and the “cognitive deficits” of virtually all participants, as they got lost, could not see the forest from the trees, were effortlessly seduced by Godzilla’s Pied Pipers, “skeptics,” and so on. My layers of the FE Onion:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart
were developed from most of a lifetime of being involved in that milieu, seeing literally thousands of reactions to the idea of FE and abundance, trading notes with fellow travelers, and so on. I have watched newbies go out and test my layers, and for those who have the right stuff that I am looking for, I usually hear back from them, and the best of them work through the Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11 pretty quickly, seeing how none of them really have much promise, if any. As I have said, it is OK for people to go explore those layers, to test my words, but the best of them will not get stuck in those lower layers. They will become familiar with them, familiar enough so that they can see what the problems are with those approaches. Understanding the pitfalls is important:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls
If I can get a choir formed, and the size will need to be in the thousands (around 5-10) if my idea has a chance, I will not get too specific about what it can accomplish and catalyze, because several key dynamics could be set in motion by it, up to and including the technical project of an independent FE effort. But I am looking for needles in haystacks, using a new technology to do so, and if you are a needle, nobody in your daily life will be, unless you are one-in-several million.
I know that what Dennis and Brian did influenced Godzilla, but that was not really their primary motivation. Godzilla is watching my efforts, and what I will attempt may influence him too, but that is really a side effect. My work is never Godzilla-centric, but almost everybody either denies his existence or obsessively focuses on him, and neither reaction is needed or healthy. He just needs to be acknowledged for what he is, with his role understood and even given a certain admiration, but then he needs to just be relegated to the background, kind of like a force of nature. If people in Oklahoma obsessed everyday about the tornado that might appear in their neighborhoods, they would not get anything done in their lives. I am doing what I can so that the tornado of suppression does not come to my FE neighborhood, but people need to know what the clouds look like when they appear, and take shelter when the tornado warning goes off. One of the most dismaying aspects of my journey is watching people rush out and eagerly go jumping into the tornado, thinking that they were going to meet the Wizard of Oz. That kind of naïveté and foolishness is deadly in this realm.
I have seen the Young Warriors come and go, with their bluster and bravado, and I am trying the lamb’s path. As a professor pal said recently, what I am attempting can’t hurt, and it could be a critical ingredient to getting humanity over the hump. While developing a comprehensive perspective is hard work, the only “hazard” is becoming too aware to gleefully play the games of our scarcity-based societies. All we take with us is our awareness, and developing it may be the primary reason why we are here, but it all begins in the heart.
Time for Bucket List chores. I will likely only be making the occasional post here in the near future, and might go pretty quiet for the rest of the year, as I get that essay written between Bucket List chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
I find myself again in a situation where I have information that I would like to disclose, but can’t. I have to wait for others to go public before I will. It just comes with the territory. The bottom line is that resistance by the various predators in the global economic jungle seems to still be there, and it does not seem to be the case that Godzilla died in his sleep. I am certainly not ceding the future to the predators, but they seem to be alive and well, if conflicted, because they know that we are making Earth uninhabitable as they play their games of power and control. Greer thinks that we will experience a Mad-Max-like world in a fight over the remaining hydrocarbons before we have environmental collapse, but others are not so sure, in this “race of the catastrophes” scenario.
I vote for us turning the corner, but as is obvious, I advocate the sentient lamb path. Among other Bucket List chores, I have been thinking plenty about that essay. The basic framework is not changing, but I am considering several aspects of it and how I will approach them, and the serious work on it will begin soon.
One thing that becomes even clearer during my recent interactions with fellow travelers is how doomed the inventor/businessman’s path is. I lost interest in it in the 1990s, and when I trade notes with fellow travelers, it is evident how that path is a dead-end, and even a deadly dead-end.
My assessment of the levels of suppression surveillance and response was challenged by a fellow traveler recently:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic
where he thought that the stick was used far more often than the carrot, but that same fellow traveler was offered the big carrots more than once, and he even reported how Godzilla (or a level close to it) was using Game Theory tactics on him, as they studied him for weaknesses that they could use to defeat him (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden). I still stand behind my framework. It may be that Godzilla can renege on the carrots after they are accepted, but I have also never heard evidence of that happening, and when people take the carrot, they disappear from the scene as part of the deal, so that the stick approach can seem to be more prevalent, because that is all that is seen. Even then, when the stick is used, it does not usually look like a stick, but some random catastrophe. In the end, as Brian O once said, the suppression has been total, and virtually all defeated efforts have been along the inventor/capitalist path, which is a complete dead-end, IMO. Nobody has even gotten remotely close on that path before, and I am trying something different.
Best,
Wade

25th June 2013, 17:42
Hi:
I have some time this morning. As I have stated recently, I have not even been interested in what Dennis has been doing, much less what the rest of the FE field has been doing:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=684110&viewfull=1#post684110
But lately, I have been finding out what Dennis was doing for the past several years. Nothing was too surprising for me in what I learned. It is not deniable that Dennis sold the world’s best heating system:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new
There is a mountain of performance data on that system, and Dennis was about to carpet Puget Sound with that heat pump when the local electric industry called in all of its favors to wipe him out:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run
His Heat Injector was a brilliant attempt to turn that heat pump into an appliance that could be easily mass produced and installed:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=604055&highlight=injector#post604055
Making innovative energy technology that easy to produce and sell was the big threat that Dennis represented, and nobody ever did it any better, and all of that was playing at a far higher level than any FE inventor ever played.
Similarly, what Dennis pursued for several years recently was 100 MPG technology, and there is, again, a mountain of data that proved the high MPGs. Dennis was also about to mass produce that technology, and then the feds came down on him like a house of bricks:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc
Dennis may be able to tell the full story one day, and I look forward to it, but it is really just the same old story, in that the energy industry is a big racket, and when anything potentially disruptive comes along, the Big Boys deal with the threat with extreme prejudice. So, when I hear of Rossi, Keshe, and the like, and they think that they are close to making something happen, I know that they are not even on the playing field yet. I really have no interest in the inventor/businessman’s path to FE, and am trying something different, but I am continually engaged by people who are trapped in the delusional levels of Level 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6
Another highly naïve notion is that we can just make FE or high MPG technology for our own personal consumption, and give the Big Boys the finger (but quietly, and so that they never see that finger). There are a number of delusions wrapped up in that perspective, and they include:
1. We can sneak past the Big Boys (up to and including Godzilla, although plenty of lower-level predators play the same game – Godzilla is merely the largest of the bunch);
2. We can make commercial-ready technology in our garages;
Whenever I hear those kinds of responses/advice, I know that the person has no idea how the world really works. Those strategies have never worked (it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to take a working prototype to production-ready status, on which Brian O continually tried to educate people http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=487159&highlight=prototype#post487159), and they also reflect thinking like a victim. There are no quick and easy answers, or shortcuts.
Again, I am going to try to form a choir, not an army, but if an “army” ever gets going that has a prayer of success, it will be an army of love, and it will approach via the front door, not trying to sneak past anybody. Godzilla sees me coming, and I have no expectations of deceiving him, other than perhaps him underestimating the power of love and true sentience, and that could lead to his redemption, not his destruction, and I hope that it does.
As you can see, I am making posts about once a week, and I think that a cadence like that will be what I shoot for for the rest of the year, while I get that essay finished.
Best,
Wade

Historical narratives and research tends to focus on the people who did "big" things. In reality though, they probably had many helpers along the way, gentle souls who stayed out of the limelight and either had higher sentience or were connected to such. In that sense it's always deep and humble sentience/awareness that moves things along, whether organized or not.

Hi:
I have time for a brief post this morning.
Thanks Enishi. Yes, the “little people” have always been instrumental in helping the “big people” make their marks. Chomsky was big on that, where a Gandhi, for instance, was like the prow of a ship, riding the wave of the millions behind him. That is part of the “great man” versus “mass movement” interpretations of history:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism
I want to briefly touch on the epochal events:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=674575&viewfull=1#post674575
Not only have the time frames shortened between the epochal events, they were closely related to leaps in mental activity. The first one likely led to the human brain. The second one was closely associated with the “great leap forward” in anthropology studies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward_(evolution)#Great_leap_forward
As usual, there is an interaction, or, in Marxian terms, a dialectic happening, and there is chicken-or-egg speculation about the changes.
For the third epochal event, the Domestication Revolution, it was the beginning of civilization, and ideologies began, including political, religious, and other forms of indoctrination, as well as the appearance of professions. And there is the interaction of mental and physical activities that could reinforce each other. The fourth event, the tapping of fossil fuels that made the Industrial Revolution possible, was tightly related to the Scientific Revolution, which was another leap in mental activity.
Today, we are seeing the information revolution, the reproduction of intelligence in computers, just as we are on the brink of wiping ourselves out as a species. The Consciousness Revolution will be an integral part of the FE revolution, if we turn the corner, and the high road out will be marked by love:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
It is partly why I say that love, sentience, and FE are all joined at the hip. And a tiny fraction of humanity will be involved in catalyzing the transition, just as a tiny fraction of humanity was primarily responsible for the Scientific Revolution, and the people who made the breakthroughs that propelled the Industrial Revolution were a tiny fraction of humanity.
It is another reason why the choir will not be telling their friends and neighbors much about FE and abundance. It will be trying to contact a different audience – those needles in haystacks that are scattered around the world, as the choir takes advantage of the first truly global communication system – the Internet – to find them.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

I believe that a cognitive change will need to happen before FE will be able to come out of the shadows. A shift on a global scale… A subtle change in the mindset of a new generation of young. By the sum of everything that they were exposed to. A leveling of ideas happening on a planetary scale as never seen before in known human history. The minds are being exposed to various desires, aspirations, realities. Having access to knowledge, seeing options, having choices… No more living in isolation, in ignorance, in fear… Acknowledging the similarities of experiences all around the world. The information revolution opens a big door. It will have to spark that flame in the heart. By seeing who we truly are, our potential, our possibilities. Getting a glimpse of our own powerful energy, a volcano ready to erupt. We are at the nexus of it.

Hi Cara:
You have come down on one side of this question:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#question
while my experience has led me to come down on the other side. IMO, people are not going to wake up by talk or information, but by reality. And it has always been this way, going all the way back during the human journey. Reality preceded changes in awareness for the masses, not the other way around. Even the people whom I will be seeking for the choir will have already had an awakening experience of some kind. Otherwise, I would never be able to reach them. The experiences of my fellow travelers also made that very clear to me, such as Brian’s ride as the Paul Revere of FE:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience
As an example, just this week, I was talking with one of my investors from my days with Dennis, whom I had not seen since before my days with Dennis. Relatives of this person, who got the person to invest, know me well and what I lived through, but this person was in denial of all of it, thinking that I was crazy and taken in by Dennis The Conman, or I was a conman myself. I had to give a big sigh, but it just emphasizes how people will not wake up until reality hits them over the head.
My strategy is getting the choir going, then attracting ten times their number, and then the technical project of making FE happen would be easy, but I do not kid myself that those people will be easy to find and train. Only when FE is delivered to people’s homes will they begin to wake up to FE and abundance, or the ETs or Ascended Masters come in from the shadows, but it looks like they won’t do that, either. It is up to the few who are awake and awakening to make it happen, it seems.
Best,
Wade

This is quite an unfortunate fact, that experience is the leading catalyzer for having an in depth understanding on any one issue, especially the more uncommon experiences within our society. I understand that this is the way to proceed with things since this is the way men is built and evolutionise, but isn't it possible to shower more people with more 'experience'? why only a few have the (mis) 'fortune' to reach to conclusions, what chance does that leave this 'procedure' of change to be a successful one?
Thinking about it, every rule has an exception, and learning from other's experience is valuable, but this as well requires a sort of an open mind and an.. experience, although maybe not exactly similar to the person you are learning from. There are all sorts of factors that have to be in such a dynamic, and it applies both to the one who listens and to the one who deliver the information/experience/conclusion.
My own conclusion, to put it a little bluntly is that experience sucks, but it is the best teacher for growth and learning. There is a syaing that goes like this:
"The medicor teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrate, the great teacher inspires" -William Arthur Ward
It is probable that if you met all those teachers and teachings in your own life then comes the time that you are an inpiring teacher yourself, and in this context, Hi Wade :wave: (a greeting that is recommended at the beginning of a post, but can also come at the end)
p.s
Nature is the best inspiring teacher who knows how to utilize energy from the surrounding and atmosphere, without any damage to the ecological system, just by being a part of it. If only we knew how to listen and be as nature

Hi:
Well, this week will see me make a few more posts than I expect to make in the coming months. Again, I need to limit my posts to once a week if I am going to get that essay written, but there have been recent events worth commenting on.
First, hi Limor. A channeled entity once told me that experience is the only teacher, and I understood the point. The problem in the FE field is that getting experience can be life-threatening. I was talking with a fellow traveler recently, who sat in the same chair that I did for long years, and he talked about the sudden deaths of people in their organization, of inventors and technical types. This comes with the territory. They are rarely killed in what are obvious murders, such as Mallove was:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland
but their deaths are “natural,” “accidents,” “suicides,” and so on. There are many strikes against people learning about the FE field, and danger is one of them, and violence is really one of the least of them. The dishonest “skeptics” attack it, as does the media, as do family, friends, and colleagues. Virtually everybody is against it, bizarrely, as they protect their turfs, the turfs of scarcity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
People usually have to have some experience of those reactions before they begin to understand:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions
This is all part of the conundrum. Even at Avalon, as I have been quiet recently, I have seen more off-topic and sour-note posts on my threads than ones that were close to the mark, which is just more evidence that I need an invitation-only forum if I am to get anywhere with my work.
I also had recent occasion to have a long talk with Dennis, for the first time in many years – the longest talk that we had since the 1980s. He confirmed what I have long stated: his allies hurt him more than his enemies did. That is partly because your “allies” know where to hit you where it hurts the most. I had the same experience, and it is normal in this field. Brian O had a similar experience. For those who plan to join the choir, some examples might be educational, and I will present a couple of them. One now, and one later.
I lost friendships and had family relationships ruined beyond repair during my journey. The early attacks were the most dismaying, and by the time that I heard that my mother made a scrapbook out of all the lying newspaper clippings about us:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492
it was only a minor nuisance. The person who told me of my mother’s scrapbook tour told me about it right after she left his home on her scrapbook “tour.” His parents were my investors. I never asked them to invest, but they wanted to get in on the opportunity after I gave their son some of my shares as a gift. I wanted to make my friends and family rich as we also healed humanity and Earth. It did not turn out quite like I hoped. :)
That son was my childhood friend. I came to ruefully understand that prophets have no honor in their hometowns. I don’t know of anybody else on Earth with my particular qualifications. It is one of the loneliest feelings in the world, but also led to my idea that I am about to try out, to see if it can help us turn the corner. That friend was one of the only people who supported me in 1988, and he is the person who said, “I am sure glad that I am not you!”
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=611346&highlight=glad#post611346
I later realized that he was interested in my journey partly as a kind of voyeurism. As I walked away from Ventura, radicalized, in 1990, I dove into the books, doing the early study of what became my public work. I began to share some of my learning with that friend, and he was one of the early lessons for me on how people project their beliefs on situations, failing to learn anything from them. A cup that is full has no room for more. The sensational libels that I saw directed at our efforts comprised my early indicator of what a brainwashing machine the media was, but my studies made the picture much broader and deeper:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big
Over the years, that childhood friend would hear from me on what I was learning, but he ended up steering almost every conversation that we had into territory where he cast the world in his cowboy-movie paradigm, with good guys and bad guys, with his punchline always making his case for justified violence. It became very wearying over the years, and although he would read books that I sent him on what a crock the media was, and sometimes admit the truth, the next time I would talk to him, he would parrot the TV evening news, thinking that he was providing keen insight into the world’s woes. And it was not that he was inherently stupid. He eventually became a nurse after being a grade school teacher, but he could not escape his cowboy-movie view of the world. He was also Jewish, with a mother who survived World War II in England, so I suspect that the victim-orientation of the Jewish people was baked pretty deeply in his perspective. He even readily admitted how horribly the Israelis were treating the Palestinians, but he could never quite escape his conditioning, and eventually, he began to see my radicalized perspective as a threat to his own, hence the constant justifications for violence that he served up in our conversations, and he never liked it when I showed him that there was not any. As Seth said, there is never any justification for violence. A violation of others is ultimately a violation of self, as we are all one, in the view of the Infinite Spirit:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age1
and I won’t argue against it. During the 1990s, he was my closest friend, and I flew him out to Ohio to visit and took him on his first and only backpack trips in the Cascades. He was the only person from “my side” who attended my wedding, and he helped me move out of our home the next day.
When I took several years off to do the research and writing that became my site, he visited me in Seattle, and it began to get uncomfortable for me, as he admonished me for straying from the herd, extolling the “safety” and sanity of his herd behaviors, as he literally thought that he was providing me enlightened advice. A year later, as I was performing my labors of study and writing, he was attending nursing school. I financed my years of study by maxing out my credit cards, eventually reaching more than $80K in credit card debt. I dug out of it in three years, after I resumed my career, and plan to avoid ever going into debt again.
While he was in nursing school, he got rid of his credit cards, as they got him in trouble previously. One day, he called me to ask for a loan. The only money that I had to lend him was what I borrowed from the credit card companies, and before I could even explain my position, he used our friendship as his rationale for why I should give him the money. So I did. Two weeks later, he asked for another loan, acting as if I had agreed to two loans. He was abusing my friendship with him, but I took out the loan and gave it to him, for more than $1K that I loaned him. Right about the same time, he engaged me in the fiftieth conversation where he justified violence against the “bad guys,” and I had had enough. I asked him to stop having political conversations with me. Not long after that, he called me to cheer the bombing of Yugoslavia:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#friends
and that was the last straw for me. But before I could end the relationship, he did, as he cast his daggers at me. I decided that I did not want the money back from him, and informed his parents that he could pay them the money he owed me, as it would repay their investment in my company when I was with Dennis. Back then, I took on all comers on the Internet, with my email address on my site for several years. I met quite a few of my cyberpals that way, but in the wake of 9/11, I decided that it was not worth it anymore:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll
but the final straw was my former “friend.” About a year before 9/11, he contacted me via a false identity, praising my work. It seems that he was testing me, to see if I was the megalomaniac that he thought I was. When I passed his test, he contacted me as himself a month later, asking me to be his friend once again. When I politely replied that it would have to wait until I finished my website, he began to attack me, with him unable to handle being “spurned.” I then told him that we were definitely finished.
Whenever I have had people accuse me of ego issues (I have an ego, like everybody else does, and some days are better than others), I always found that they were projecting their own ego issues on me. When I finished the first draft of my trucking essay:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm
I sent it to my correspondents for their feedback, and one address was to that person who praised my site (my “friend’s” alter ego). From that email address came a reply that was a bizarre attack, claiming to be CIA, giving personal details of my life, as if I had been under surveillance (I am under surveillance, but those performing the surveillance will not contact me like that). It was a highly unpleasant email and more than a little crazed and more than vaguely threatening. As I thought about the attack, I looked at the email address, and it had my friend’s initials in it, but scrambled. I wrote to that email address, and told my “friend” that he was not smart enough to play that game, and that I would not tell his parents or anybody else what he did, which was a criminal act, and I informed him that he was to never contact me again, or approach me when I went public.
There is a saying that the only defense when a scoundrel’s crimes are exposed is impudence, and it was no exception in my “friend’s” case. Instead of quietly slinking away (I could not prove that it was him, but that email address with his initials was pretty damning evidence), he decided to then engage in a frontal attack. He then emailed me from another email account, proudly proclaimed that he was the assailant, and called me an a***ole and other niceties. I figured that he was not done. I was back in contact with my mother in those days, whom I kind of patched things up with after her betrayals, but it was a fragile relationship. She was close to my “friend's” family, too, and I had heard that since my friendship ended with that “friend” that he would grill my mother about me when they were together. I called my mother, to tell her that she was to no longer talk to that “friend” about me, and she remarked on what a day it had been, because he called her earlier in the day, to tell her that I had attacked him. This is an example of how a person’s ego can take them to dark places. I just let it go, letting my “friend” dig his karmic hole. I had far better things to do with my time, and kept working on my site. But it was the last straw as far as me interacting directly with the public.
When I joined Avalon, I had not been in any contact with the public for years, but people would write about my work regularly, and one site asked who I was, speculating that I was a college professor or other academic. It had been ten years since my friend had last attacked me, but he joined that conversation, attacking me (while trying to assume the identity of another childhood friend – again, he is not smart enough to play this game, but that stupidity is what keeps him at it, as he keeps falling on his sword). I then sent him the evidence of his crimes, threatening to make them public unless he desisted with his attacks. Like the coward he is, he took down his Facebook page and pulled in his horns for a while. I don’t know if he got the message, but if he continues with his attacks, one day he will become pretty “famous.”
I present that as a cautionary tale for those enthusiastic newbies who want to get their family, friends, and colleagues involved in this FE stuff. Every fellow traveler that I know much about has had similar experiences. Again, personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn
and when you begin playing on the field where Earth and humanity hangs in the balance, as you pursue a quadrillion-dollar technology:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion
you will see behaviors come out that you can’t believe, and your friends, family, and colleagues will be the ones who will shock you the most. It just comes with the territory, and is why I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade
P.S. I see that this thread has passed 400K views. I make note of the views on this thread periodically, so I can track the volume on it. Again, I will take quality over quantity any day, and finding Ilie and others at Avalon has made this experiment very much worth it.

Hi:
Related to the theme of my recent posts, I long ago stopped trying to convince people whose minds are set on how the world works, as they dismiss my experiences and those of my fellow travelers. Such people are protecting their fantasies that are based on the notion that those whom they gave their power away to are judiciously using it. But I even get caught off guard by people close to me who protect their fantasies, and not even at the Wade’s World scale of FE and abundance, but even relatively mundane issues such as Brian O’s astronaut credentials. I was surprised myself that the most famous active astronaut was assigned to work with me on Brian’s NASA bio:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&highlight=punk#post267098
which very likely gave more evidence of the political nature of Brian’s lack of a NASA bio, but the astronauts treated me fairly and better than expected, when I finally had to resort to contacting them directly. When I have mentioned recently that that famous astronaut was assigned to me, some have rebutted my statement with questions, as if challenging that I dealt with the astronauts at all. When I get those kinds of responses, the best course of action is to change the subject and talk about the weather. I even get it with relating Bill Gates anecdotes that I am familiar with, which are at variance with the “Saint Bill” hagiography in the media these days. You would not want to have Gates over for dinner. Those who challenge the reality of my experiences are trying to reduce their cognitive dissonance:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive
It can get far worse when the subject is my experiences in the FE field, or the FE experiences of Dennis and Brian. Again, I don’t go looking for people to “convert,” but even I get surprised at times by people whom I think know better, who actually witnessed some of the events, but denial can be a real bitch, trapping minds in a fantasy world, as it protects their comforting and self-serving fictions.
My long talk with Dennis was informative in ways, and there is plenty that Dennis leaves out of his books that make his tale ever more astounding. I have written about the “mistakes” in his file, probably courtesy of Ventura County, that got him thrown in with murderers:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate
What Dennis did not tell me before, and did not write in his books, was that his first bunkmate was transferred from maximum security (he was a multiple murderer) to medium security to be assigned as Dennis’s bunk mate. It could not be more obvious that the authorities were trying to get Dennis killed in prison, but Dennis’s first bunkmate hated the authorities as much as anybody, and not only would he not do their bidding and kill Dennis, but he became Dennis’s closest friend in prison and protected Dennis, and Dennis even converted him to Christianity. I have never met or heard of anybody like Dennis.
As a condition of his settlement with the FTC (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc), which proved themselves to be as honorable as all of the other authorities have who attacked Dennis, Dennis can no longer do business in the USA regarding energy technologies. Dennis may tell his story one day, however, and it is pretty amazing.
I will now publicly announce something that I have been silent on until now. At this link, on page 10 of the document, is a picture of the trade floor of the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC) of March 2008:
http://ahealedplanet.net/wirec.pdf
In the middle of the scene is a booth that announced “100 MPG NOW.” I have also attached photos from the same booth, which was Dennis’s. When I was invited to the White House in 2006:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#crisis
Dennis delivered the invitation. After the invasion of Iraq, Bush the Second could be heard making speeches containing statements such as, “We are addicted to oil.” The man writing lines like that was Bush’s alternative energy advisor. He came to one of Dennis’s barnstorming shows and signed up for FE, and he came to Dennis’s facility and stayed a couple of days, and was arranging that eve of the election demonstration. I had no interest in going to Washington and having tea with Bush and Cheney. The demonstration was killed, but Dennis got a booth at the WIREC show, with the tame claim of “100 MPG NOW.” He made hourly presentations at the booth, as can be seen in a picture below. Dennis really had 100 MPG technology. Even Mr. Skeptic put a car to the test, and its mileage more than doubled with Dennis’s technology, but like the saint he is:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=410817&viewfull=1#post410817
he will not publicly admit it. One Christian evangelist with a congregation on the West Coast got 104 MPG for a year with Dennis’s technology. Of the thousands of high MPG kits that Dennis sold, the return rate was less than 2%.
At WIREC, on the second day the exhibit room was closed for an hour while Bush toured it, and he spent half of his time at Dennis’s exhibit, with his eyes bugging out. Dennis ran full-page ads in USA Today and elsewhere, and before the USA Today ad ran, he was called at home by one of the leading figures that conspiratorial theorizing focuses on, asking about the ad. Dennis was also working closely with a Detroit auto company to get the technology tested, and they were pretty far along in the testing when the boom was lowered on Dennis once again, that time with the FTC leading the charge, obviously at the behest of their private interest patrons, as usual.
That that leading figure, who is almost a hundred years old, called Dennis at home means, to me, that he does not really operate at Godzilla's level, but somewhat below it, although his influence likely got the FTC and other “protectors of the public” hot on Dennis’s trail once again.
One notion that people need to relinquish if they are going to understand how the world really works is that having technology with a mountain of data behind it does not mean much when Kangaroo Court gets going. Ironclad data and the like becomes meaningless, as I discovered in Ventura:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail
It is far from confined to energy technology. When Burzynski weathered the umpteenth attack from the FDA in the mid-1990s, the court made it clear that whether the treatment worked or not was irrelevant, as the court tried to hang Burzynski on the equivalent of not filling out a form:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#burzynski
Soon after Brian O was cured of skin cancer, the FDA kidnapped his healer from Ecuador and threw him into a U.S. prison:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=616837&highlight=kidnapped#post616837
In fact, if the goods really work as advertised, then look out, because here comes the law, ready to dispense “justice” on behalf of their private-interest patrons.
The system is evil, and only exists because the masses worship it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings
Again, I lost interest in the inventor/scientist/businessman’s route to FE long ago, and that also goes for high MPG technology. That stuff has been around, and suppressed, for about a century:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1
Dennis is merely the latest to make a run at it, and if Dennis can’t make a dent, nobody can. He is the best of the best, but the hero’s journey will not get it done, as far as I can see, although our efforts certainly influenced Godzilla. Maybe that is the role that that voice in my head had in mind. I have no regrets, but don’t want to get on that battlefield again, and we will see what the lambs can make happen.
Time for bed.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
Here is my final example of the problems with friends and family when you are pursuing FE and world healing. I have a close relative whose IQ is about half of mine, at the Forrest Gump level. And like Forrest, he has some savant-like abilities. He could probably easily memorize pi to a thousand places, but cannot add fractions. As I have stated plenty, it does not take too much mental horsepower to begin to grasp the magnitude of FE. It would be humanity’s fifth and largest epochal event, by far:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=693557&viewfull=1#post693557
My Forrest Gump relative lives a life of quiet desperation, working a gritty job. He lives independently, but unlike in the movies, people with Forrest-level IQs do not become rich and famous, but are exploited by those around them, at the bottom of the food chain. I took in that relative more than once over the years. While living with me about twenty years ago, he heard some family gossip that my mother began. It was no big deal to me, but just family scuttlebutt that was likely not entirely true, if true at all. It involved my grandfather, whom I was very close to:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas
Forrest saw some of the nightmare events in Ventura as they transpired, and was anything but in my camp when it hit the fan, as everybody headed for the hills, helped out Mr. Deputy, or signed up with Mr. Texas. Mr. Professor and I were the only two significant exceptions. Being attacked for defending Dennis just came with the territory of what I did. Years later, when our efforts began to achieve historical importance, Forrest became rather proud of his involvement, however tangentially, in my adventures. He wanted to help me perform my research, and sent me huge envelopes with tabloid clippings in them, to “help” me. I had to eventually ask him to stop “helping” me that way. Then he tried other ways to be involved, and not long ago, he publicly revealed a name that I had kept anonymous in my tales, to protect the person. Forrest revealed the name, to somehow think that he was lending my tale credibility. I had him remove it from public consumption, but that was the kind of “help” that he gave me. He was also enamored with conspiracy theories and believed that I was a conspiracist. Impatience is my Achilles heel, and I get to work on it every day, and people such as Forrest are among my many tests. It does not matter how many times I state it or how clearly I do, people such as Forrest cannot begin to comprehend my position, and calling me a “conspiracy theorist” has long been a favorite tactic of my critics to dismiss me. Calling me a conspiracy theorist reflects about a Forrest Gump level of acumen, but my critics regularly label me that way so they can avoid dealing with the substance of my work. I have had a million games of denial and derision pointed my way, and calling me a “conspiracy theorist” is one of the more unimaginative and dishonest, but a Forrest-level intelligence, which in this case is infatuated with conspiracy theories, readily thinks that I am a conspiracist and can hardly wait to read the latest edition of the Weekly World News and The National Enquirer. The rural white mentality in the USA often eats conspiracy theories with its breakfast.
A few years ago, as that relative began pumping me once again on Dennis and the FE milieu, I had to tell him in no uncertain terms, as kindly as I could, that it was not a game that he could play. He was like a five-year-old boy running onto the field during an NFL game, wanting to play running back. I saw that moment coming from a long way off, and I did my best to soften the blow, but he took it hard. Then he began to take it out on me. When he was young, he would do the social equivalent of passing gas in a crowded elevator to draw attention to himself, but he seemed to put it behind him as he became an adult. As he has aged, he is reverting to his younger self, as his mental abilities decline with his overall health (he is grossly overweight today). Last year, he began to spread that old rumor of my mother’s, to about the only family I have left, and when caught doing it, he said that I was the one spreading the rumor, and he was just trying to protect my grandfather’s name from my scurrilous accusations. When the laundry all got aired out, nobody in the family believed Forrest’s version of events, and his attempt to wreck my remaining family relationships did not work. He is now a family pariah, and I will never have anything to do with him again. It is just one more casualty of my journey.
But the root of it all was Forrest wanting to help me, but his “help” was rooted in his ego, and when his “help” was politely declined, he then went on the attack. Again, this is pretty normal in this field, although the attacks are usually a bit more sophisticated than Forrest’s. But Forrest, like the others, was close enough to me to know where to hit me where it hurt. And as with my other “friend” who now lives to attack me, they received nothing but help from me, with my contributions to them amounting to several thousand dollars. And this is also common with people who are helped. They ultimately do not feel so good about themselves, being the recipient of help, so they lash out at those who help them, as surreal as that may seem. Again, these are common dynamics, but they tend to get greatly magnified in the FE field, as the perils and promise are so monumental. Coming under the spell of delusions of grandeur is one of the early pitfalls that have swallowed up many aspirants:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur
and anybody in the FE field for long has to deal with them.
Time for chores.
Best,
Wade

Hi Wade,
Thank you for sharing your experiences. They have their lessons.
I must confess that while reading it, a back thought was: "Oh!... that would never happen in my family... My close friends would never do this to me!". I am of course deluding myself thinking like that :), but the thoughts are there nevertheless.
It is a lonely journey and it is hard to comprehend why would anyone want to hurt a person who's dream is to heal humanity and manifest Heaven on Earth. Hopefully this is a lesson I'll get from "reading" and not by getting back stabbed... but the temptation to talk to family and close friends about this, is pretty big. Otherwise, who could you talk to? :)
From an Ego point of view, being told you don't have what it takes to play this games is pretty hurtful, no matter how kind one says that. I am not very sure I'd have a more "enlightened" reaction to such a statement, hence the questions are we really a sentient species or not :)?
From time to time I have a glimpse of a realization: "Holly c....! Everything IS about energy and everything else is indeed a side show! No matter now dramatic, how far reaching or how spectacular it looks like!"
Aliens, Underground Bases, Portals, Astral projections, the Economy all this stuff... is very interesting and engaging... but everything pales away when compared with the Energy issue. What's the point of opening a "Stargate" when so many people are starving and are slaves to an energy monopoly that could have been ended hundreds of years ago?! Without addressing the Free Energy issues, and the absolute freedom for everyone on the planet that comes from it, everything else is just more of the same, albeit with more sparkles and gadgets around the the super old combustion engine and hierarchical structures of control.

Hi Ilie:
There was great time compression in those tales, with the first one a twenty-five-year friendship, with the last ten years containing at least fifty conversations that I wanted no part of, until I finally had to ask him to stop having those conversations with me, and then he went on the attack, and was still attacking me ten years later, even though I had the goods on his criminal behavior against me and finally had to threaten to make them public to get him to stop (we will see if he really stops, when I take a more prominent public stage).
The other was about a twenty-five-year trajectory from the raid until I told the person that he could not play the game. During those years were envelopes full of tabloid clippings, politely asking him to stop sending them, his wanting to discuss aspects of the situations over and over again, where he was just beating dead horses, and I finally had to ask him to stop, to revealing that identity publicly that I tried to hide, to me finally telling him that he could not play the game. I gave him many hints over the years, but he refused to heed them, or was incapable of heeding them, at his Forrest Gump level of intelligence. That five-year-old boy had convinced himself that he could play in the NFL, and as he began to put others at risk, I had to give him the news and keep him off the playing field. I am also leaving out many events that would make it much clearer, and here is an example.
About twenty years ago, Forrest had me sit down and watch a conspiratorial movie with his best friend, whom I hosted when Forrest lived with me. Forrest wanted us to watch the movie, to see if we thought it was plausible. It was one of the worst movies ever made, with a budget seemingly of $1,000 or so. It was about a military program on a tropical island, with ETs in the mix, kind of a super-low-budget version of Predator. Forrest’s friend laughed at the end of the movie, about how Forrest typically picked trash like that to watch. Forrest has no discernment. Forrest was a bit embarrassed, but not as much as he should have been, and repeated that he was just showing it to us to see how plausible such a tabloid tale could be. Fast forward fifteen years, when Forrest began going psychotic, and he began to “remember” that that movie was non-fiction and he was a subject of those ET “experiments” on that tropical island when he was in the military! He was going off the deep end, and desperately wanted to be a part of what I was doing. God! How do you tell a person nicely that they need help and are in no way helping you? He actually went to a psychologist to retrieve his “memories” of those events, and the psychologist ran him out of his office a few minutes later. And another unbalanced relative encouraged him that his experiences were real! That was the kind of crap that I was fighting. It was the most diseased kind of conspiracism that you can imagine. Forrest eventually went to the psychotic dark side, trying to wreck my remaining family relationships, digging up a long-buried family skeleton and telling the family that I was the person dragging the skeleton through the streets.
I don’t talk about “Wade’s World” with hardly any of my relatives, and few of my friends, and I have to keep limiting the people that I can talk about any of it with. They either are in denial, get paranoid, or perhaps worst of all, want to actually “help me” in my work, and it is virtually never helpful, but is them grinding their particular ax. Virtually nobody can begin to comprehend my work, and if they get past outright denial, they seize on relatively inconsequential aspects of it and obsess on the mystical stuff, the conspiracist stuff, the retail political stuff (which is largely meaningless), fringe “science” such as Velikovsky, the TV news, and so on. And when I finally ask them to stop grinding their particular ax, after I have dropped many hints, they get indignant and attack me. That means that they never intended to really help, but wanted me to validate their stunted worldview, and when I did not, they got angry.
To achieve a truly comprehensive perspective is highly difficult. It takes talent, a willingness to relinquish what people think they know, a lot of hard work, and it always entails some kind of experience, or a series of them, that point out how the paradigms that have been erected trap our awareness, and we have to let go of them if we are going to reach any kind of productive understanding of the issues. My upcoming essay is going to begin the class in earnest, but I know that very few people will be able to graduate to the level of understanding needed to help that choir develop. I am truly looking for needles in haystacks.
You have the gist of it oh-so-right in that energy is the big show, with everything else a sideshow. There is no other area of the global rackets where Godzilla offers people billions of dollars to go away. Godzilla understands, even if almost nobody else really does, and that is just how he likes it:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#thinkable
The energy situation has always been that way, and the potential of FE is truly mind-boggling, with TV shows such as Star Trek:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek
only providing hints. Although the account is brief, this probable future:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
is one of the stars that I steer by, and it gives evidence of what choosing love (which is the energy of creation) is capable of.
I realize that people are going to have a hard time not discussing it with family and friends. If I can’t, and I have lived through so much of my subject material, then anybody else is going to have a very hard and dismaying time of it. And as I have done on this thread, I am very conservative in my writings, rarely writing about much that people cannot go out and check out for themselves. The foundation of it has to be solid, not a bunch of stuff where people are taking my word for anything. Again, people will need to motor through this material on their own power, and attain their own mastery of the material. I don’t expect anybody to attain my level of understanding, because they did not go through the meat grinder like I did, but I don’t need the choir to. If I am playing at the post-doc level, I am only looking for people to graduate from high school to qualify for the choir, and it will be good enough. Some will be able to exceed my understanding if they keep at it long enough, and it will entail them getting various kinds of experiences. But it will take a lifetime.
The upcoming essay and invitation-only forum is intended to provide a place where people can discuss these issues, and I will provide plenty of meat to chew on. That is the downside of what I am attempting, in that people naturally want to go tell their family, friends, and colleagues the good news. Nobody is really going to want to hear it, in the end. They will only begin to wake up when FE is delivered to their homes. And newbies virtually always deny that reality, thinking that their family, friends, and colleagues are different, somehow having the right stuff that nobody else on Earth has. That is the ego and inexperience talking.
Again, in my case, some of the best minds on the planet on these issues have looked to me for insight, including Brian O, Dennis, and college professors. But at ATS, the trolls descended on me:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1
and you can see many times at Avalon me receiving challenges from newbies who think that they understand the issues better than I do, or there is something that I am missing, such as the inventor of the hour who “Has it!”. :)
I was recently visited by the person who first interviewed me ten years ago, and he has spent his life interviewing visionaries across the world, and he does not know anybody like me. As with many others, he wants to enlist my assistance, but I have to get my work done, and he understands, although he would love to get my help, and I probably will help him one day, but in my own time. I have spent a lifetime carrying spears and signing on for other people’s projects, and it is time to do my own, to help fill a gap that I saw in all efforts.
But with my friends, family, and colleagues, nobody wants to hear about it, they think I am crazy, and so on. Prophets have no honor in their hometowns, I am sorry to say.
Time for chores.
Best,

...What's the point of opening a "Stargate" when so many people are starving and are slaves to an energy monopoly that could have been ended hundreds of years ago?! Without addressing the Free Energy issues, and the absolute freedom for everyone on the planet that comes from it, everything else is just more of the same, albeit with more sparkles and gadgets around the the super old combustion engine and hierarchical structures of control.
Thank you Ilie!
This is a continual source of frustration wherever I look. I find it wholly disheartening that we would get excited about seeing advanced gadgetry available in stores before we’ve cured poverty and hunger around the globe. But since it appears to be continually coming, let there be steady hands and pure hearts ready to guide it. Let there be those preparing to use it for our collective healing.
Some of us may be hesitant about how technological produce is overtaking the rate of our spiritual maturity, but we have yet to prove adequate at guiding the rate at which it rushes forth into the collective. So if there is an absence of adequate prevention, there is all the more need for those who are sentient to apply that sentience to the use of the technology. Even if it's deemed preferable ideally to abstain from its use in favour of self-sufficient, love-seeded, psychic resources, a technological world needs sentient souls to guide the shaping of its infrastructure and application of its inventions. (This is of course in addition to how the vast majority of us have yet to regulate our health purely with our minds and glean sustenance solely from the sun or the ether.)
Vivek posted an article on his Artificial Intelligence thread not long ago, written by an Anthroposophist scientist. The writer was advocating that fellow Anthroposophist scientists engage with the field of A.I (rather than shy away out of fear or disdain) in order to bring some spiritual consciousness and ethical guidance to the field’s development. I’m not mentioning this to advocate or criticise Anthroposophy or artificial intelligence. But reading it prompted a huge essay of a response that covered a range of offshoots that I never got round to posting, (trying to limit my ‘essay’ posts. :) )
Even pioneering Free Energy figures such as Tesla, whose scientific acumen / brilliance was considerable, apparently had questionable ideas in terms of population control:
http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/paleofuture/2012/11/nikola-tesla-the-eugenicist-eliminating-undesirables-by-2100/
I’m reminded that in spite of his otherworldly persona and innovative thinking, Tesla lived in a world ridden with disease and poverty where he could not take for granted the healing effects of the technology we have today. Technology which broadens the availability of education and information exchange, and the physical resources we need to survive. The more capable and accessible our technologies, the more apparent it becomes that supporting life and healing it are the best solutions, rather than stifling life before it’s been given a chance. Many of the technologies that exist to give people equal, sustainable, quality living didn’t yet exist in Tesla’s era and their effects couldn’t yet be seen the way they can today. And what we have today doesn’t even fully utilise the healing potential of the tech we have available, even without free energy. Sadly Tesla never got to experience the healing effects of the clean, abundant, free-energy world his inventiveness could have made possible. If Tesla hadn’t even fully imagined the healing potential of his own technologies, it makes me wonder what a little mind like mine has yet to imagine.
It so often seems to return to what this thread, Ilie’s FE thread and the Future Earth thread are here to do – which is to make abundance imaginable. It’s crucial to be vigilant about the pitfalls of A.I. and of FE, but if we are to evolve ourselves positively it seems even more crucial that where powerful and monied parties are busy imagining ways to use technologies selfishly or negatively, more of us step up to imaginatively create the positive potential. With love, with decency, and with a vision of equality as the root.
I watched the documentary The Secret Life of Plants the other day. An unusual (and noticeably dated) film – the style of which marries scientific documentation such as the work of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and Cleve Baxter, with varied artistic expression - including some original music by Stevie Wonder and some beautiful dance sequences. If someone had advocated eliminating Stevie Wonder before birth because they could predict he would be blind and therefore physically ‘inferior,’ they would have robbed us of the company and creativity of a wonderful and generous soul. It would have been cruel. It would have been ignorant. It all comes down to the extent to which we create a culture which supports life and whether we value life in terms of soul and spirit, and the spirit of creation and healing. The answer to physical flaws today is to utilise advancing technology to offer the choice to correct them once a person is alive, not to prevent them living at all (and who knows what corrective and regenerative technologies are kept under wraps.)
The Secret Life of Plants :
http://youtu.be/7_X2Z9v8-6Q?t=15m40s
I felt the narration beginning at 0:15:40 reflected something pertinent to this thread – namely the closed-mindedness of the scientific establishment when presented with ground-breaking ideas, and the choice of scientists to be motivated by the good of the whole rather than financial profit beyond necessity :
“Traveling to England Bose presented his latest and most significant discoveries in person, before a gathering of the most distinguished minds in the scientific world – 324 fellows of London’s Royal Society. In the same hall where Darwin, Huxley and Faraday made history the learned gathering listened with polite interest as the obscure Indian scientist described his pioneering measurements of radio waves. Through his experiments Bose also discovered that both metals and living animal tissue respond in a similar way to the effects of radiation. He postulated – if the continuity exists between such extremes as metal and animal tissue, similar effects should be present in the plant kingdom. Touching the leaves of mimosa pudica, with a cotton soaked in ether, Bose demonstrates the fainting response in a plant. The object of his future experiments was to prove through the design and use of highly specialised machines, that all the characteristic responses exhibited by animal tissue are also to be found in plants. The Bose experiments were denied publication by the Royal Society. By daring to suggest that electrical responses are present in plants he had offended the learned members.
Meanwhile in America George Washington Carver, another generous soul, will revolutionise agriculture. A poor black, born into slavery, he will generate great wealth for his compatriots by revitalising their ravaged soil. A gift for which he is scorned because of his communion with the faery land of plants. A natural alchemist, Carver transmutes the lowly peanut from hog food into a score of products, all highly profitable. Like Bose, Carver refuses to patent his inventions. Neither genius will charge for helping to produce bounty from the earth. Advanced philosophers, neither is appreciated in his lifetime.”
Hopefully I haven’t written too much that you feel you should respond to Wade; I don’t wish to pull you away from far more important things. But as Ilie said:
“the temptation to talk to family and close friends about this, is pretty big. Otherwise, who could you talk to?”
Sometimes I just feel compelled to share.
Good wishes to all.

Hi Wade,
I only saw your response above mine after I posted.
“To achieve a truly comprehensive perspective is highly difficult. It takes talent, a willingness to relinquish what people think they know...”
Relinquishing what I think I know is always the interesting one. A constantly worthwhile endeavour - albeit a tricky one. But that is again where love seems to come in. Allowing myself to forgive myself for where I have been mistaken, and to trust that in the abundance of the universe there is a net of wisdom and knowledge wide enough to catch me as I leap into the unknown, preparing to reshape my sense of self and what defines it. That is my own little guiding light. Particularly useful on the occasions when it works.
Thank you for everything you've been sharing recently

Hi Melinda:
I won’t take much time to respond, so you don’t need to feel badly. :)
Yes, Bose, Tesla, Carver, Fuller, and others were far ahead of their times, and to this day their work does not receive the recognition that it should if we are going to turn the corner. Fuller is largely only known for his domes or buckyballs, when that was the least of his work:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller
In the political arena, a trenchant saying is that society reveres its living conformists and its dead rebels. It is like this in all areas, where the herd protects its awareness from the threat of enlightenment and change, whether it is the scientific establishment, the political establishment, the religious establishment, the business establishment, and so on. So it is, in a world of scarcity, where change means winners and losers, and nobody wants to be a loser. With abundance, everybody can win, even those dark pathers who think that the meaning of life is becoming Emperor of the Universe and ruling through fear. They will eventually learn the folly of their ways:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love
but maybe not on this planet in this lifetime, but if we do not turn the corner, and soon, it will be game over on this planet, and I am doing what I can to prevent it, and if it is because I helped plan Earth School, as an alleged archangel once told me, it makes sense in the context of my preposterous journey.
Time for chores.

Hi Wade. Thank you for you and for this thread. I just had one of those "a-ha" moments when I realized how true it is (in these experiential realms) that it is all about "energy" and thus what an individual being is dealing with is "energy management" in all forms possible.
Its funny how so many look at the Illumed and Nutty and accuse them of wanting to destroy the world by citing such things as "order out of chaos" but what if "order" is the actual goal and all the distractions we deal with is simply part of the management process?
In other words, why would anyone want to destroy what they are clearly in charge of?
Anyways - I sure wouldn't as I enjoy life and have zero fear of "death."

Hi Justoneman:
I am not familiar with your terminology, but I think that you mean the people who run the world. I call them by various names, including the Global Controllers (my term), the Big Boys (Dennis’s term), and Godzilla (Greer’s term). They definitely “manage” the planet by managing the energy situation above all else, largely by making sure that FE technology does not get into the public’s hands. Even 100 MPG technology has been under wraps for nearly a hundred years.
They are at the top of the global food chain, but there are several levels of predators below them. The violent ends that many energy innovators have come to may well be due to Godzilla’s activities, but I think that a lot of that comes from the lower levels, too. When Godzilla targeted us, it was only after we survived the lower levels of predation as various energy interests protected their turfs, but he was by far the most sophisticated of the bunch. I think that he resorts to violence rarely, because it is not a very effective policy in the long run, and his bag of tricks is deep and sophisticated, as are his pockets. Usually, when he has messed with you, you do not even know that you were messed with.
My perception is that he is a self-appointed controller of humanity and Earth, but he does not do it from benevolent intention, but an insatiable lust for power, which is rooted in fear. He operates by picking up the responsibility that humanity has collectively abdicated as we play the victim game. If a tiny fraction of us actually thought and acted like creators, it would quickly be game over for Godzilla. Destroying the planet is not his goal, but just a side-effect of his power game. As I have been stating recently, the world’s scientists, particularly biologists, and environmental and climate scientists, are terrified by what is happening.
The good news, kind of, about this situation is that it is fractured at the top, because the game is getting rather scary, as we flirt with destroying the biosphere and taking us with it. The Big Boys have contingency plans, such as underground and off-world survival enclaves, and terraforming Mars is one of their insane plans, but cooler heads may prevail. Those cooler heads perhaps are called White Hats, but I think that their hats may be rather gray. The show that the so-called White Hats gave to my friend had a rather strange invitation for it that I won’t go into publicly:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground
but I hesitate to call them nice guys. Energy has always been the name of the game on Earth, and always will be, and my upcoming essay is intended to make that very clear. In mystical and New Age circles, people usually discuss “energy” at a very abstract and impractical level, in my experience, where they discuss managing “energy” as managing their emotions and awareness. But the energy that I refer is what comes from the sun, which powers our automobiles and is used to produce almost all electricity and is responsible for making all of the materials that we use in our daily lives. It is in that sense that Godzilla is managing the global energy situation, and keeping everybody mired in scarcity is how he is able to readily manipulate humanity, keeping us from even glimpsing the bigger picture, as we are totally focused on survival and primitive ego needs and desires. As long as Godzilla can keep us all focused there, he has the game well in hand.
My game is waking up to the larger reality, which includes free energy technology and its potential. The Zero-Point Field is likely divine in nature, and we will not be able to successfully use it as a global civilization until our hearts are whole. The mystical, social, and other aspects play their parts, and everything in creation is ultimately consciousness, and love is the energy of creation, so the only way to FE is through love and raising our consciousness, at least for any kind of world that I would like to call home. Coercion won’t work. Godzilla can’t be snuck past, defeated in battle, or by using the fear-based methods of today’s world, such as capitalism, applying for patents, and the many other unproductive responses that have been directed toward the problem for the very few people who get past denial of the very possibility of free energy:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level5
I am trying the love and enlightenment approach, and it won’t be easy, but it is the only one I am interested in and well may the only one that will work.
Thanks for being out there and lending your awareness to this issue.
Best,
Wade

Hi:
To Ilie’s recent post, and the issue of if what I am doing is so noble and needed, why do those closest to me attack me? The easiest answer, and I think the accurate one, is that they do not see what I see. I have written plenty on the issue of projection, and how my own awakening was an issue of overcoming my projections onto humanity, believing that people cared for something beyond their egocentric existences, when very few really do:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=279068&highlight=projection#post279068
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=408726&viewfull=1#post408726
All of my fellow travelers had that brutal moment of awakening to the reality of our world, not the TV version. Dennis and Ralph McGehee almost did not survive their moments of awakening:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice
Mine was a little gentler, but only a little:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces
Those two people who attacked me that I wrote about above were two of many, and I had far more hurtful attacks than theirs – I am only using them as examples, and relatively recent ones. They really did not see the Earth-and-humanity healing potential, but they saw more that I could become rich and famous, and they could get a piece of it, if only by basking in my glow. I hate to think that that was their only motivation, and it wasn’t, but they were completely blind to the bigger picture of what I was doing, and that is normal. Almost nobody on Earth understands. It just comes with the territory. Dennis accepted it early on and used it strategically, getting people involved primarily because of the business opportunities that the effort could afford. I found out back in the 1980s, and it was driven home even further, to my final understanding of the issues, when I was briefly back with Dennis in 1996-1997, that when people are attracted out of their self-interest, they are putty in the hands of the predators. Another way to say it is that they were attracted to it due to their ego issues. We all have ego issues, but when you are literally trying to attract people by playing to their egos, you are going to get their egos, and for the FE and world healing project, it has to at least aspire to be soul-centric. Pandering to lowest-common-denominators, such as economic self-interest, is suicidal in the FE field, which is why I literally have no interest in the businessman’s path to FE. That also goes for all approaches that cater to scarcity-based ideologies:
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant
because they all promise economic rewards and egocentric strokes to their adherents. IMO, if you go those routes, you are defeated before you begin, which is partly why I have no interest in the Rossis and Keshes. I have seen many like them come and go over the years, and they never get anywhere. Those guys have not even gotten onto the playing field yet.
The fact that I worked for free for ten years, went bankrupt, spent ten years digging out of debt and the like, while foregoing “frills” such as having children and owning my own home, sails right over the head of the egocentric, as they project their own awareness, and wonder what the “catch” is in my approach, and how I will ultimately rip people off. I am not making up these scenarios for rhetorical purposes, but I have experienced them, usually bearing the brunt of them.
I do not promise anything for choir membership but hard work and leaving behind the comforting beliefs that we have all been indoctrinated with. No money, no fame, but hard, thankless work. The egocentric will not be interested in the slightest, but the fifth epochal event in the human journey is pretty big stuff, to put it mildly, and anybody with the slightest idea how the world works can get an idea of how high I have played the game, so some of them pay attention, to see how they can profit from it, someway, someday.
Again, I tell these stories to help educate Ilie and others whom I plan to ask to join the choir one day. We need to stay away from the obvious pitfalls if we are going to get anywhere, and thinking that your friends, family, and colleagues will open their eyes to work like mine is foolish and dangerous. FE will mean the end of the world as we know it, and even the stupidest among us can glimpse it, and instead of thinking in terms of what heaven on Earth could look like:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748
http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced
almost everybody reacts by thinking about what is in it for them, and all that almost anybody can see is that they would lose their niche in hell. Again, this is a key aspect of the conundrum. Dennis has been nearly universally vilified in the media ever since I met him, and he is by far the greatest human that I ever met or hope to. That is just how it is with humanity today, and has been since before “Give us Barabbas!” was cheered.
Time for chores.

Wade

Hi Robert,
Most of what Wade writes about on the forum, you can check out for yourself. It is a big effort, but then it will no longer be a matter of "belief" once you check out his story :).
