WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Here is one of my last stories from my days as a trucking company controller (the Mexico anecdote was told me by my operations manager, and that will come soon). Because companies were so desperate for drivers in the mid-1990s, they were not too particular. Ours was a flatbed company, which was different from van freight. Flatbed drivers often had to secure their loads, and it was physically taxing. I never remember us having a woman flatbed driver (maybe there was one or two, but that was if there were any – our average driver weighed 250 pounds or so, and women just could not do the work), as the job was too physically demanding, hauling 80-pound tarps, chaining down loads, and the like. Women could be van freight drivers, however, as they only needed to drive the truck. Van freight companies were literally recruiting at places like supermarkets, asking the bag boy or girl if they wanted to get a real job and see the world. Those who were seduced by the pitch ended up in a truck on the road in weeks.

Because of that desperation for drivers, I once half-joked that we should recruit in prisons and found a new trucking company called Convict Truck Lines, with the fleet driven by parolees. Dennis was in prison while I was working there, and I had heard about his days in prison (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=964956&viewfull=1#post964956) around the time of that "joke." Yes, that is the kind of twisted humor that I can come up with. :) There was a criminal element in the driver population, who would sign on with a company and sell off the fuel, tires, loads, and the like. Generally, the companies were just happy to get their equipment back and rarely pressed charges. The industry had established a kind of information clearinghouse on drivers, so that companies that participated input their driver ratings, and the next company to hire them could see what their previous employer had to say. Not all companies participated, and a thief driver would likely not put the employer that he stole from on his resume, so there were thieves that simply worked the system, driving for a few days or weeks before stealing and disappearing and signing on with another company. The typical theft was "only" fuel, tires, and accessories, which was tame enough that the company would likely not press charges.

One day, we had a driver out of Baltimore haul freight for a couple of weeks before he disappeared. We found the truck, fuel-less, and the trailer was missing its tires. The trailer was new (we had hundreds of those new trailers, made of aluminum (to carry heavier loads and still meet the weight requirements), and they cost about $17K each, as I recall), and selling off eight new tires like that, and the rest, probably netted the thief $1,000 or so, and it cost us around $3,000 when all was said and done. I made my opinion very clear that I wanted the thief prosecuted, and we pressed charges and flew our fleet manager (an ex-driver who told me some of those stories (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1008747&viewfull=1#post1008747), such as how he ran the scales carrying 100,000 pound payloads of coal, for instance, in Appalachia – he had that running light trick) to the trial.

At the hearing, the thief-driver, who was white, attended the hearing, with a sh*t-eating grin on his face, holding a baby in his arms, never thinking that we would actually pursue him. When he saw our fleet manager there, as a witness for the prosecution, his grin disappeared and he then asked for a continuance to prepare his defense. The judge gave him two months to prepare his case. Two months later, we flew out our fleet manager again. We were not going to let the thief get off, and here is a Twilight Zone moment. That morning, our fleet manager was in Baltimore, in court. Because he was out of town, I ended up taking the only driver reference call during my five years there. It was a trucking company out on the plains, somewhere like Saint Louis or Kansas City, and the woman called me for our reference on that driver! Instead of appearing in court in Baltimore, he was actually signing up at a trucking company on the plains! That took some chutzpa. I told the woman that as we spoke, our fleet manager was at a hearing in Baltimore, as a prosecution witness because of the theft by that driver. I doubt that they hired that driver. :) When you fail to appear in court like that, then the authorities get their ire raised, and a bench warrant was issued for the driver's arrest. Some weeks or months later, they finally caught him, and instead of throwing him in prison, he got some kind of probation deal and was ordered to work off his $3,000 restitution of us. And we never saw a dime of it. At least, because of our prosecution and conviction of him, he could no longer rob other trucking companies very easily.

If a black man had done that, or a Mexican-American, they would have likely sent him to prison, but white guys get off like that. When people have stolen from me personally, I always forgive and try to forget, but in my corporate role, I could not be as forgiving. We tried to be as honest as we could, but there was so much illegal and criminal behavior that we had to deal with. One issue was owner-operators "running hot," which meant that they hauled loads and took the cash directly from their customers, with our door signs on their trucks. It was usually stuff like running a load of watermelons from the South to the northern states, and when they did that, we were liable for any accidents they had, we had to pay the fuel and mileage tax, and the like (but my new mileage system (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#taxes) did away with some of that subterfuge). We were constantly playing cat-and-mouse with our truck owners and drivers. About two-thirds of our owners and drivers were good, hardworking people, and about a third were constant problems. It was wearying to work in an environment like that, for several reasons, and one was the company's management was so weak that I ended up shouldering more of the management burden than I really should have. After five years of that, I was burned out and stepped down, and my protégé, whom I had been grooming for four years to take my place, nearly collapsed in my office after two weeks of having my job. He soon left the company, and for the past 20 years has been happily working at a finance company, and whenever he has a bad day, he thinks back to his days in trucking and is thankful that he no longer works there.

With my way of thinking, soon before I left, I had my "creative moment (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash)" and saw how to not only take our company paperless and cut our overhead in half, but I also saw how to get every driver home every night (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#vision). There is no good reason for having millions of people sleep in their trucks, but they are considered expendable in our current system of scarcity, even in history's richest and most powerful nation.

Best,

Hi:

This trucking narrative will have a few comprehensive interludes, and this is one of them. The continents began forming billions of years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#glacier1), and some of my favorite hiking (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#bishop) territory is near rocks that formed in the Cambrian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_%28U.S.%29#Geologic_history), before complex life ever colonized land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#landplants). Mountains that I continually hike in are made of rock formed in the Devonian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Cascades_National_Park#North_Cascades_geology), when the world's first forests formed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firsttrees). Land-based animal life, particularly the vertebrates, has seen many types of animals rise to prominence, go extinct, particularly in mass extinction events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions), and previously marginal types rose to prominence. First it was amphibians (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#amphibian), then amniotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile), as synapsids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#synapsid) then therapsids (our ancestors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cynodont)) rose to dominance. In the wake of the greatest extinction event ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction), likely caused by the dynamics that formed a supercontinent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pangaeaforms), archosaurs rose to dominance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1), and on land it was the reign of dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaur1) while mammals hid in their burrows (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop).

The separation of Pangaea into continents created geographic isolation and evolutionary novelty amongst plants and animals. Dinosaurs experienced it first, and when it became the mammals' turn to rise to dominance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paraceratherium), after another huge extinction event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), the most isolated continents (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southamerica2) became backwaters of evolutionary change, while Asia became a crucible of evolution, and their mammals tended to dominate other continents (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asianmigration) when they got the chance. Africa's elephants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess) and apes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#apemigration) did well, and North America's mammals largely survived the trans-continental migrations. But when South America's collision with North America ended 60 million years of relative isolation, few South American animals stood a chance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pliocene). Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), Madagascar (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lemur), New Zealand (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#newzealand), and other isolated evolutionary enclaves did fine until humans arrived, and then all the easy meat was quickly driven to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused).

After the initial migration of behaviorally modern humans, people became geographically isolated and what we today call races developed. When agriculture was invented, farmers drove hunter-gatherers to the margins and into extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#maledna), and Asia once again became the crucible of innovation, but culturally, in the case of humanity. Australians never learned agriculture, and the peoples of the Americas were thousands of years behind Eurasia in their technological ascent, and when Europe finally learned to sail the oceans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), those isolated natives never stood a chance, and what could be called another mass extinction happened. Because the Europeans who inflicted that genocide (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide) were literate, we can read about their exploits, and with a few notable exceptions (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#casas), that genocide was cheered the entire way, from beginning to end. And the architects of the genocides and continental thefts (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) became national heroes for the invaders. If humanity is truly a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), and there are reasons to doubt that, there is nothing for Europeans to beam with pride over, yet they do. The genocidist of the natives of the lands where I was raised was made a saint last month (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1002395&viewfull=1#post1002395).

Of Europe's imperial aspirants (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jockeying), an isolated island people turned to coal, as their island was deforested (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), and they quickly rode that new energy source to world dominance. Their political descendant in North America quickly used those new industrial methods to steal the continent (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal1) and then dominate humanity as history's richest and most powerful nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar). It stole half of Mexico (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#mexican) along the way, and has dominated the Western Hemisphere for two centuries (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#monroe), invading other nations at will (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#butler), overthrowing their governments, and the like. It plays at dictating the ways of freedom and humanity to the world, but is the world's most inhumane nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record) in many ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). An Uncle Noam has said (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), today's world is no more moral than in the days of the Mongol Invasions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mongol).

Nazi Germany was heavily financed by American industrialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#brown), Hitler learned his anti-Semitic ideology from one of America's greatest industrialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racism1), and after the USA prevailed, it hired all the useful Nazis that it could, even if they were fresh from performing human experiments in the death camps (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi), just as the USA was about to unleash history's most destructive weapons on an already defeated people (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping). But, somehow, the USA is The Land of the Free. :)

That is a prelude to writing about doing business in Mexico, and I'll write that tomorrow. I am going be insanely busy for the next month, so my posts will be relatively limited.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Today is Columbus Day in the USA, and these two articles (1 (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eric-kasum/columbus-day-a-bad-idea_b_742708.html), 2 (http://usuncut.com/world/7-myths-and-atrocities-of-christopher-columbus-that-will-make-you-cringe/)) generated more than a thousand hits to my Columbus essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) in the past few days, and the peak traffic on my site each year is now, and it will decline from here and reach its nadir in the summer. I get around 100,000 visitors each year, and most by a direct link (email, bookmark, etc.). I guess that regular readers number in the low thousands (but might only be in the hundreds, but I'll take one Ilie for ten thousand surfers). That Huffington Post article is five years old, and that article has gotten my site more hits than any other. A bunch of classes use it, from college to middle school, and this one (http://www.knowledgebakery.com/us-history-2015-2016.html) seems new this year.

It is ironic to me that that essay is linked to more than any other on my site, and shows me what a chore building the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will be, but I am up for it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On to doing business in Mexico. The Spanish invasion of the Western Hemisphere is the greatest demographic catastrophe in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), as most of the population of two continents died off within a century. There is nothing like it to compare to (except perhaps Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania), but it was a sparsely populated land of hunter-gatherers, unlike the New World, where most natives were agricultural peoples). What became Mexico was the heart of Spain's imperial effort, as it had the New World's greatest population and was the oldest New World civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mesoamerica). More than in any other imperial effort, Spaniards mated with the natives (Spaniards were excellent rapists and emulated the Moorish practice of having harems, and Latino machismo and "arrogante" (arrogance can be a virtue in that culture) comes from the Moors, too), which created Mexico's huge mestizo class. Hitler did not think that that was any way to run an empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler), and planned a racially pure "settling" of Eastern Europe with Germans, after the "subhumans" had been cleared away.

To most white Americans, Mexico is a place to take a cheap tropical vacation, it provides the stoop-labor that plants and harvests America's crops, illicit drugs flood into the USA via Mexico, and grim wars between the drug cartels can make Mexico a scary place for Americans, especially in the border towns. But to the rest of Latin America, Mexico is the industrial giant of the North. Many Western industrial companies have put their factories and operations in Mexico, where labor is cheap and pollution laws are lax. When the USA was having problems with its nuclear plants (which I know something about 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoops), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#seabrook), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull) :) ), a plan was hatched to put the nukes in Mexico, with a heavily guarded electric corridor to the USA, so that Mexicans could get all the risk and Americans all the reward. White Americans consider Mexico to be full of expendable people, just like the world is full of dark-skinned expendable people (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress).

The Mexican-American border is the longest frontier between what is considered first world and third world nations, and it is a huge political issue. The logic of capitalism, in which profit is the Holy Grail (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit) and marginal revenue can yield large marginal profits (when the marginal cost is low), companies are always chasing marginal revenue opportunities, which usually entail outsized risk. That dynamic has been behind all of the financial scandals of my lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#doomed), as lenders seek marginal borrowers, who are usually risky, but those who engineer lending to that marginal borrower class get their money up front and are long-gone when the roof caves in (the lenders default), as they are about to do again (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), and this time, it is in energy (frackers and other marginal producers) and emerging markets (poor nations that borrowed from the West, again).

Mexico has long had one of the most dishonest populations on Earth (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.thai/trzahACNQ9g), and robbery and violence are a standard part of the culture (Latin American and African nations have the world's highest murder rates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate), by far), which is partly a product of its poverty. In Latino communities in the USA, anything not nailed down quickly disappears. I saw plenty of that growing up in Southern California, and my LA days further ingrained it (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928).

Today, I work at an industrial company that made the mistake of doing business in Mexico, and it now avoids it. American trucking companies have often made the mistake of finding marginal trucking revenue by running in Mexico. At my trucking company, the new president (who ran the company into the ground (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#new), which took out the entire organization, with thousands of trucks) decided to try Mexico, and within weeks, one of our trailers was stolen. He eventually realized that it was a loser. If you run trucks in Mexico, you really have to know what you are doing, like having somebody literally riding shotgun (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riding_shotgun).

I outlined some of the differences between van and flatbed operations (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1008811&viewfull=1#post1008811), and because in flatbed, there were tarps and other accessories, drivers did not want to swap trailers and inherit some other driver's poor practices. The trailers were like their cabs – personalized for them, and those accessories were easily stolen and sold, so flatbed companies had nearly all of their trailers attached to tractors, with very few "spotted" at customer locations and the like. The tractor-trailer ratio for flatbed companies was about 1.1-to-1, meaning that only about 10% of the trailers were not attached to tractors.

Van freight was another matter entirely. Vans were essentially fungible, and van drivers constantly dropped and swapped their vans (which helped lead to my brainstorm (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#vision)), which were spotted at customers (so the customer could load the van and not take up any driver time), and in van freight, the tractor-trailer ratio was more than 2-to-1, and usually about 2.5. So trailers were all over the USA, and large van companies with 10,000 trucks had more than 20,000 trailers, and the accounting systems when I was in the business were poor, so they constantly lost track of their trailers. Those companies had departments that did nothing but try to locate their vans, and that brings me to my North American Van Lines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Van_Lines) tale, told to me by my operations manager (who later became company president), who worked at North American when the incident happened.

Like many foolish companies, North American chased that marginal revenue in Mexico, and the van-location department noticed that many seemed to disappear in Mexico. After years of noticing that problem, the department finally staged a foray into Mexico, to locate their missing vans. It was quite an adventure, following rumors across Mexico, and they eventually heard about a place called "North American Village," tucked away in Mexico's hinterland, and they eventually found it. As they approached the village, the logo of North American Van Lines was on a sign at the outskirts, which was where the village's name came from. All the buildings in that village were stolen North American Van Lines trailers! Those vans became houses and chicken and donkey shelters. What could that van location team do? They took pictures of the village, posing in front of the sign and other photogenic scenes, and the company had a good laugh when they returned home to Indiana. I wonder if they eventually stopped running to Mexico. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am getting to the end of these trucking posts, and as a prelude to my doozy of a final incident, I need to write a little about motorcycles, as it is part of the tale. My father rode a motorcycle when he was a teenager, before joining the Marines (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). He was the pallbearer at the funeral of one of his biker pals who met the typical biker's fate. When I became a teenager, when we drove though my father's home town of Bellingham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham,_Washington), my father would point out intersections and other landmarks, and he told me gruesome stories of the fates of motorcycle riders during his riding days. I was treated to a litany of brains and viscera splattered across roads and bridges as we drove past locations of the accidents. Looking back, I can tell what he was doing, and it worked. :) I have never owned a motorcycle, have not even ridden a bicycle since college, and have almost never been on a bike (and the first and only time that I drove one, when I was about 13, I dumped it and flew over the handlebars on my way to planting my face in the dirt).

But almost all of my male friends and relatives either have motorcycles or are enthusiastic advocates of them. I could go on for many pages about American men and their fetish for riding motorcycles. That president of my trucking company, who ran the company into the ground (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#new), instantly died while being thrown from his Harley bike on a vacation in Mexico (a couple of years after running the company into the ground and becoming the CEO at another truckling company - standard corporate practice), not wearing a helmet and hitting a tree when he was thrown from the bike (some pals from my trucking company were openly happy to see that man get killed). The president brought his pride and joy to our office one day, with his Harley on our loading dock, showing it off. A few years later, he died on it. He was about the age that I am today.

My wife worked in hospital rehab in Ventura early in her career, and most of the ward was occupied by motorcyclists who had an accident, and they often had a picture of their bike next to their bed. No family, no pets, but a picture of the bike that they nearly died on, and they could not wait to get back on it. I have seen this craziness for many years, and one day, when my close crippled friend (in the coming anecdote) talked on and on about his motorcycles and riding them, I asked him about it. He was crippled from a motorcycle incident, but all he could do was talk about riding them, and he admitted to me that it was an addiction. Riding a motorcycle got him his adrenalin fix, and I think it explains the deadly fixation that I see in so many American men. It is like they are still teenagers, going for that thrill of the wind rushing by. I think that most riders are Young Warrior (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) souls, they rarely live to a ripe old age, and going out in a blaze of glory (or gory) is how their souls learn.

Southern California is the home of the Hells Angels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hells_Angels), and when Dennis was in prison, he took some kind of Biblical oath and did not cut his hair and had a beard, so he looked like a biker (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=964956&viewfull=1#post964956), and it was partly a way to be left alone, as the biker gangs are as ruthless and violent as almost any other. As I will tell in the next post, bikers are also considered expendable in the USA.

Best,

Wade

Dangit Wade! I might be a young warrior soul........Hope I live long enough to see the choir sing.
I'm still recovering from an atv accident 2 years ago,5 days in the intensive care unit.Almost back to good...Right again you are my friend,couldn't wait to get the wind in my hair.

Hair,see this post , Link to Post #11.Hopefully linked right
My family traded horses in for dirt bikes manage the heard...Then we could ride them to town for work or otherwise.
Like hunting,a staple the world we lived in.

Thanks for the trucking posts.I can relate to this as well...
We hauled manufactured homes all over the midwest.Got a good taste of the trucking industry.I was in a cab over International at 16 hauling large oversize loads(16 feet by 80 feet).
I was too young for a cdl ,we could pull that off in the 80's.And cheap high school labor was the norm back then.Good for the family to have all hands on deck.

We experienced a wave of new theft in the 90's when meth became a easy drug to make with all farming chemicals available.
The thieves would steal one of our flat beds ,pull it up to a brand new manufactured home on a lot behind locked gates load the trailer and drive it through the fence.
We worked in the day ,they worked the night.


It has been two years now from the beginning of a three year experiment.....
There is something significant that has happened,for me at least.

Not sure if it is the sensitivity of the antenna or just the natural progression of this particular journey...After 40 years of various hunting & fishing excursions an overwhelming feeling struck me the moment the license appeared in the mail.Hunting will no longer be on the list of activities for this human.

For some this won't mean much...hard to put a finger on it, something is happening here with this hair.
Things have changed dramatically for me in perception and in the way the public handles the said change in appearance.Not all negative ,very different .

Looking forward to more .Change can be good and challenging....

Hi:

Krist, be careful, Young Warrior! :)

I messed up my knee the only time I rode an ATV. All of those various crotch rockets are dangerous. You might want to clean up that extraneous text in your post.

Well, on Columbus Day, those articles (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1009269&viewfull=1#post1009269) produced about 3,000 hits to my Columbus essay. That was a record. And this earthy version (http://uproxx.com/life/2015/10/christopher-columbus-total-jerk/4/) was published yesterday, generating hundreds of hits. I did not recall so much traffic, but I looked at prior years, and they all generated that kind of activity, but this year was the record.

Hi:

Here is my last trucking story. For somebody living in Mumbai (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=709741&viewfull=1#post709741), nothing about this story will be shocking, but this happened in The Land of the Free.

This happened to a friend I have known since 1982. He used to be the Silva instructor (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) in LA (which is how we met), and he has lots of wild and wooly stories to tell from his life. He was born and raised in Chicago and grew up riding motorcycles, and Southern California, with its sunny and warm weather, is a biker's paradise. He always had two or three bikes, never a Harley that I can recall, but BMWs, Hondas, and the like. He once owned a bar and shot a patron during a fight, was drafted for Vietnam, and other fun. He is a year younger than Dennis, and is nearly 70 today.

He and I hiked and backpacked in the Sierras, I spent a week at his childhood home in Chicago the week before I began my trucking controller job (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes) (it was like Ferris Bueler's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferris_Bueller's_Day_Off) week in Chicago, attending a Cubs game and seeing the sights of Chicago, which in perfect weather in August were stunning, I spent a fairy tale weekend in Manhattan several years later – those are nice cities to visit once, if you can do it right). He attended one of Dennis's sales trainings in LA when we hit California in 1987 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and he was one of my most supportive friends when we had the boom lowered on us. We held meditation groups at his house for years, he introduced me to that Seth channel (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#meetseth), and I attended nearly every session for two years, until I moved to Ohio.

The only time I was ever on a motorcycle as an adult was his, riding on the back for less than a mile to a restaurant, nervous the entire time. He joked about my aversion to riding motorcycles. A doctor friend calls them "donor-cycles." :) After a couple of years of me being a trucking company controller, my friend got a job as a motorcycle courier in LA. Motorcycles can go between the lanes on LA's freeways, traveling faster than the car traffic, so they can be faster couriers than cars, but being a motorcycle courier in LA has to be up there on the danger scale, with finding and disabling land mines and being a professional Russian roulette player. :) Before getting that job, he had only dumped his bike once, when he was a teenager in Chicago, but he dumped his bike three times during the year of being a motorcycle courier, and the last time he nearly died and became crippled for life.

He was riding down the freeway one day, playing courier, and passed two trucks from a big trucking company that largely operates in the Western states. He said that he made eye contact with the driver of the truck that hit him as he passed him, and he looked like a tired Mexican-American, those notorious drivers who are driving more hours than was legal. The trucks were in a mini-convoy, and as my friend passed them, one truck came out of its lane and hit him. He went down, hard. The trucks kept going, in what is called a hit-and-run accident (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_and_run). Many years afterward, doctors were still finding injuries from that accident, such as cracked teeth. I cannot recall all of his injuries off the top of my head this morning, but he had cracked ribs, had to have a knee replaced, had spinal injuries that kept him on morphine for years, and several other injuries from the incident. Because he was injured on the job, worker's compensation covered his treatment, and he eventually had to get a lawyer to mediate with the state commission. A couple of years after the accident, when he was talking to his lawyer, the lawyer asked him why he did not sue the trucking company that hit him. My friend said that nobody ever told him that he could. Witnesses to the accident made police reports that identified the trucking company. My friend's lawyer's mouth began watering. It looked like a slam-dunk case for a multi-million dollar settlement. When I was at that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), I saw a salesman awarded $13 million from the lab's owner because of some alleged oral agreement. Again, courts do not deliver justice in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#law), but winners and losers.

They had the name of the trucking company from the police reports, and I coached them on the documents that they could obtain to prove which truck had done it. They took the case to trial in Orange County, where the accident happened. My friend was looking at a huge payday, and then right in the middle of the trial, when it looked like the trucking company was going to lose, the judge threw out the entire case. I have written that I wish that I had a dollar for every time that I saw one of Dennis's lawyers say, "They can't do that!", as judges handed down their kangaroo court (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) rulings. Mr. Big Time Attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime) got the education of his career (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#disbar) on Dennis's case. My friend's lawyer had one of those moments, with his mouth hanging open, when the judge threw the case out. My friend was living on credit cards, and when the judge threw out the case, my friend soon declared personal bankruptcy.

But that is not the end of the story. A few months after the judge threw out the case, my friend's attorney got a phone call. He got it from a man who worked in the safety department of that trucking company when the accident happened. He no longer worked there, as his conscience probably got to him. He told my friend's attorney that the company was well aware of the accident when it happened, but company policy when hitting motorcycles was to keep going, as the motorcyclist would likely die and the odds were that nobody could identify the company. The caller offered to help in any way that he could, but it was too late. The case had already been dismissed, and there was really no other recourse, not in our evil legal system.

With how I have seen that world operate, and getting education from people such as Gary Wean (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), I think that the likely scenario was that trucking company approaching the judge, or the judge approaching the trucking company, and a large bribe to throw out the case was mutually determined and paid. A $250,000 bribe to prevent a multi-million dollar settlement is money well spent. :)

The trucking company that I worked for was part of a publicly-held company. That hit-and-run trucking company was privately held. Our system has many levels of evil in it, from street-corner thugs to Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), but I highly doubt that any publicly-held trucking company has a policy like that. Only privately-held ones will be criminal in that way.

My friend had private sessions with Seth and was quite the accomplished mystic, and he was told that he was an older Warrior soul, who rode with Attila the Hun in a lifetime, and this was the first lifetime that he lived to be 50, so he did not know how to handle growing old, and his crippling accident happened in his late 40s. I could tell many stories of his warrior ways (hitting on every eligible woman we encountered, which was embarrassing, befriending hookers, etc.).

I have one final Twilight Zone anecdote regarding my friend and his accident. I attended the university with one of my childhood friends. I was a junior college transfer, while he was freshman who soon joined a fraternity (very Delta-house (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_House#Delta_Tau_Chi_.28.CE.94.CE.A4.CE.A7.29) style), took about seven years to get a worthless degree, and he had a motorcycle, got in trouble with the police over it (like trying to escape by driving on the railroad tracks), and somehow survived his many youthful indescretions. He eventually became a court clerk in Orange County and married a lawyer. He came to Seattle three times for backpacks, and when he came up for the 2005 trip (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm#lyman), I began telling him the story of my motorcycle courier friend who was crippled by the hit-and-run truck, and he said, "I think I know the guy. He delivered papers to our court, and he and I would talk about motorcycles, and I heard about his accident." I then showed him a picture of me and my friend, and my childhood friend said, "Yes, that's him!" LA has about 13 million people living in it. What are those odds? My life is full of events like that.

That ends my trucking stories. That hit-and-run trucking company is a big one, with thousands of trucks on the road, and whenever I see one of them (I see them about every week on the highways), I give it a wide berth. :)

I am going to wrap up these trucking posts with a comprehensive post that relates very much to my FE efforts.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

My trucking days happened after my radicalizing first stint with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) and after my days of seeing the medical racket at work (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience). Those years were when I hit the books (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), studying for what became my first site, back in 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly). Those five years at that trucking company wore me out, with me going on Prozac in early 1996 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=967086&viewfull=1#post967086). But it was right around that time that I got my vision for halving our corporate overhead by going paperless (an idea about 20 years ahead of its time), but along with it came the idea to get every driver home every night (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#vision). The technology to do it has been around for 20 years, and here is an early example of what I eventually called an addiction to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation).

The dilemma that over-the-road drivers face is as follows, and the numbers below are as they existed 20 years ago, and I doubt that it has changed much in 20 years, in relative terms. Every driver would love to be home every night, but as a local driver, the wages were $8-10 per hour, meaning around $20K per year, at most. But if a driver drove a van over the road, the pay was about $30-35K per year. When I was in the business, a common situation was a driver who drove for us for some time, and then say that his marriage was falling apart (his wife shacking up with a local driver while the husband was on the road is no great exaggeration, unfortunately) and he had to take a local driving job. After months of local driving, he could no longer support his family, so he came back to work for us. That was a typical situation. As I previously wrote, two-thirds of our employee drivers had child support deducted from their wages. Only the rare driver could live in his truck and hold his marriage together. Those kinds told me how they did it, and it was often because of some saint of a wife who held the family together while the husband lived in his truck.

That $10-15K premium of over-the-road driving over local driving was what they received for living in their trucks, and I have heard it called "combat pay." When I presented my vision to a trucking executive, the first response was that the drivers would have to give up their "combat pay" (that executive literally used that phrase) if they got home every night. When I presented my vision to an over-the-road driver (a low-IQ one), the first thing out of his mouth was, "Then we would not make as much money." Every time that I presented my vision to somebody in the industry, I either received incomprehension or they said that I was going to ruin the industry. Giving millions of people their lives back would ruin the "combat pay" aspect of the industry, building sleeping quarters into trucks, etc. I said that it would not if the drivers organized. Union drivers make far more than non-union, and every driver's dream is having a local driving union job, so that he can make a living wage and be home every night.

I thought about approaching the Teamsters, but a close friend met with the leaders of the Teamsters, he was very experienced with mobsters, and he told me that the Mob ran the Teamsters, which was no surprise to me. Would the Mob see an opportunity for organizing all drivers in the USA, and they all got home every night? I don't know. My idea has been on my site since the 1990s, and I have sometimes seen it discussed in cyberspace, but nobody has ever picked up the ball and tried to run with it.

I have written plenty about my interactions with Richard Stallman (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), and he was gracious with me, even though he was addicted to scarcity in his own, Level 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), way. He read parts of my site, and although I did not ask him to, he read my trucking essay and replied that I should take my idea to Europe, as they had "social organization" more conducive to it, which was a nice way of saying that Europe is more humane than the USA's rapacious system.

There really is no good reason for having drivers live in their trucks in the USA, but everybody resists the idea, because of "combat pay" and capitalism. Having a nationwide network would violate the concepts of capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists) and carry the whiff of socialism (as if competing truck lines are great capitalistic innovators – they all operate exactly the same with the same equipment, so that argument is nonsensical). So the resistance is all around fear, greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Capitalism is a racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), probably the most inefficient system on Earth, so drivers live in their trucks to keep that system intact and earn their "combat pay." That situation sure seems stupid to me.

I saw all that happen years before I traded notes with Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#moon) and he asked his, "Are we a sentient species? (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1)" question. When he asked it, I understood his query, on several levels.

When you step back and take in the bigger picture, the reasons for a trucking industry would disappear in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Not only are human drivers/pilots soon going to be a thing of the past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot), FE or not, the idea of hauling crops around the world, or raw materials, and then hauling around the waste, is going to become obsolete, just like cities will (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities). Professional drivers will cease to exist, just as exchange professions will also cease to exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange). In a world of abundance, there will not be any accountants, lawyers, bankers, and the like, as well as no armies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) and precious little law enforcement. The laws will be simple, fair, and everybody will know them by age five (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#forgetting). In our super-Epoch of scarcity, people defend their "right" to live in their trucks, as do their employers, as do those who make their trucks, and so on. With abundance, that all disappears, and quickly.

In a world of scarcity, people desire the means of their slavery, thinking that the bars of their cages are to keep out the "bad guys," not to keep themselves penned in. Even people such as Chomsky have marveled at the brilliant and malevolent design of our political-economic systems. Materialists argue that nobody designed it, that it just happened that way. They have never encountered Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and if they ever did anything truly important with their lives, such as bring disruptive energy technology to the public (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle), they would quickly discover the folly of their faith.

Best,

Abundance and Radical Left, Amartya Sen (human development economists), Free Software/Culture/Knowledge movements

None of the groups understand the central role of energy in the world, and are to various degrees their thoughts are constrained by scarcity.


Radical Left
They are the best when it comes to analyzing how the politics of the world really works, their definition of in-groups is the entire world, in theory if not in practice. I see there most important contribution as defense and liberation of peoples living in the second and third epochs, and distributing the pie for people living in the fourth epoch.

However they assume scarcity, the best I have seen is all of us deciding (with great sentience) to work less and have more leisure. This has echoes with Richard Heinberg’s ideas about how we might survive the decline of oil. I am very skeptical that austerity will work… we are more likely we burn the earth and take out ourselves and all life than adapt to austerity.

Reading them has helped me to understand rackets but did not help me understand what I can do, protest and organizing are helpful but I am not convinced are the best use of people’s time and energy.


Amartya Sen/Jean Dreze (Human Development Economists)
Wade, would love to hear what you thought on their books.

Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze understand the radical left, and via their cross comparative analysis of public policy around the world, advocate for governments to provide for basic education, basic healthcare, and infrastructure. While still mired in scarcity their analysis allows us to understand the world as it is, via Human Development Indices and understand what is possible in the current world. In terms of energy the costs are relatively low. e.g. India with 10% energy consumption of USA can come within 5% of USA’s life expectancy.

Such a world looks a lot better than today, at a minimum like Greece today if not better. Definitely a rich (abundant) life as seen by a person living in the second and third epochs. While the ultimate source of wealth is energy the wealth from Amartya Sen’s policies comes from not wasting human brains.



Free Software/Culture/Knowledge Movements
In general the people in the larger open source movement reflect the biases and worldview of educated people in industrial societies, they are unlikely to have read or understood the radical left. They are strategic in sharing code and knowledge, choosing not to share when it benefits them and sharing in all other cases. Their thoughts are still mired in scarcity, but the actions partially show a behavior of abundance.

While Richard Stallman understands the radical left, I am not sure of his familiarity with Amartya Sen’s works. In general the Free Software movement are other serving and understand the radical left. While their politics and understanding might seem mired in scarcity. Their actions explicitly orient them towards abundance. Thirty years ago Richard Stallman explicitly wrote that his goal of free software is a step towards a postscarcity world (http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.en.html).


In the long run, making programs free is a step toward the postscarcity world, where nobody will have to work very hard just to make a living. People will be free to devote themselves to activities that are fun, such as programming, after spending the necessary ten hours a week on required tasks such as legislation, family counseling, robot repair and asteroid prospecting. There will be no need to be able to make a living from programming.

We have already greatly reduced the amount of work that the whole society must do for its actual productivity, but only a little of this has translated itself into leisure for workers because much nonproductive activity is required to accompany productive activity. The main causes of this are bureaucracy and isometric struggles against competition. Free software will greatly reduce these drains in the area of software production. We must do this, in order for technical gains in productivity to translate into less work for us.

Not quite abundance of FE, but not mired in scarcity either.

I hoped to show that the radical left are mired in scarcity, the human development economists less so, the open source movement is less mired in scarcity, and the free software moment is explicitly geared towards abundance.

Hi:

Freeknowledge, Sen is in my stack, and one day I will get to it, and I am sure that I will learn something from his work, probably a little more along the lines of Third and Fourth Epoch development patterns and what imperial oppression does, and it is going to be different in a hot climate (AKA energy rich) like India than Northern Europe, for instance. But also, the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will leave all of that behind, and making the Fifth Epoch happen is what my work is about, and almost anything else is a distraction. Really, about the only reason for my big essay and my site is to make clear what the Fifth Epoch means and how we can get there (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked). Nothing else about my work is really important. If I saw somebody doing that better, I would likely offer to carry their spears, being the professional spear carrier (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) that I am.

My work is mostly about helping people shed their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), scarcity-based ideologies, because when they wear those blinders they truly cannot comprehend abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). There is Second Epoch (and earlier (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary)) warfare ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare1), there is Third Epoch organized religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) and imperialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#akkadian), Fourth Epoch materialism, which manifests in the rational-materialist paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) amongst scientists and the "educated" (the classic Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)), and the greed-based ideology called capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists). All of those ideological constructs and challenges that are still based within the scarcity-based framework, such as communism, short-circuit the ability to comprehend abundance. Reading Stallman's GNU manifesto (http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.en.html) is reminiscent of reading Marx. There is nothing "wrong" with advocating what he does, but it is firmly within the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) framework, which will become meaningless in the Fifth and is little or no help in getting us there. The Free Software Movement is a harbinger of the Fifth Epoch political-economy, but only faintly, like the radical left is a harbinger, but only faintly. The New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is a harbinger of the Fifth Epoch religion (which won’t resemble an organized religion at all), but again, only faintly. They all have their adaptations to scarcity, and some are grotesque while others simply harbor cherished ideological constructs that prevent their adherents from understanding how the world really works. The Left's aversion to the idea that anybody is pulling any strings on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion) is one of their greatest blind spots and weaknesses, born of their materialism and victim-orientation (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). They point out the conspiracist orientation (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) as being religiously motivated, but fail to understand that theirs is also religiously motivated, but they deny that they even have a religion. In that way, they are more trapped in their religion than those who go to church on Sundays.

The only thing that is going to help along the effort I have conceived is people reaching Epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) consciousness, which is an order of magnitude or two beyond social consciousness, which is pre-sentient (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). People constantly approach my work from a salesman's awareness (Dennis being among the world's best (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) at that, so I don’t know who can top that effort), a social awareness (and are shocked when their social-circle approach of FE evangelizing fails (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), often to relationship-and-career-ending effect), they think that they can harness some extant organization for an FE effort, and the like. The only people of any use for what I am attempting have to let all that go. I have to roll my own, and it won't be easy.

There is a lot more than meets the eye with my big essay, and the only thing that I am really interested in is a deep, public discussion of that essay, as that is the only thing that is going to attract the people I seek. It has to be about hitting the notes. The platform to hear them has already been built. I am taking advantage of this new technology called the Internet while I can. I consider it very possible that what I am doing is only a harbinger for others who will come along and improve on it, and send humanity over the hump (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) before we slide all the way back to the bottom of the hill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Utopia or oblivion, the Fifth Epochal Event or the Sixth Mass Extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) that may take us with it? Our integrity and sentience will determine that outcome. I know the people that I need (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) for this task. The challenge will be finding them.

It is not going to be about mutual self-interest, which is the "glue" for all in-groups, but about the combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) of understanding the goal and reaching for it. I offer no riches and fame, but only hard work that may build a critical missing piece for helping humanity turn the corner. Time will tell.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Marx (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#marx1) got it right in that social relations were economically conditioned. Humans can react to their circumstances and even be proactive, but the physical realities of our world set the framework. In my big essay, I showed how life has interacted with Earth's surface and terraformed Earth. Most importantly, the production of oxygen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic) by cyanobacteria saved Earth's ocean (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oceansaved), and hence, all life on Earth. Biological and geochemical and geophysical dynamics have interacted for billions of years, and how life adapts to changing environments is called evolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin).

Humanity has uniquely transformed Earth's surface, and has made dramatic impacts to the atmosphere's carbon dioxide levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) because of burning the hydrocarbons that have fueled the industrial age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse). Like all life, humans have reacted to environmental changes, and the coming of the current ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pleistocene), which was 50 million years in coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse), initiated the dynamics that led to humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit).

Humans have even engineered themselves, although few would argue that it was an intentional process. The control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) and cooking (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) had profound effects on the human journey and anatomy. While humans have had dramatic impacts to Earth, beginning with killing off most of Earth's large animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), in a human lifetime, little ever changed. A primary thesis of my big essay is how dramatically human societies changed when they tapped new energy sources, and I have called tapping each new source an Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), which laid the foundation for the changes that followed. Indeed, without tapping that new energy source, the changes could not have happened.

That is where the realities of our world impact our societies and lives. Within each Epoch, humans made changes of political-economic kinds, which in turn had social impacts. Social animals have been around for hundreds of millions of years, and many human social behaviors are baked very deeply into our biology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). But we are an allegedly sentient species, and can make changes and not be at the mercy of our biological conditioning. But it is always an uphill battle. The human urges to eat, have sex, and flee danger or fight are our most ingrained behaviors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements). Those are very real constraints on human societies. I have fasted regularly since I was 17 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bragg), overcoming our most primal urge, and it is the ultimate in self-discipline, but most people regard fasting as crazy. After being raised with that redneck (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion) notion that I would not quite be a man unless I had been a soldier (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), I have been a pacifist since I was 19. I have been provoked like few ever have been (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), so my pacifism has been put to the test. As everybody fled, cowered, or helped attack us, Mr. Professor and I stood up to the evil and prevailed, kind of, but it cost us our lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). I am intimately familiar with grappling with our conditioning and setting it aside, and I know that almost nobody on Earth has the right stuff to do that. Setting aside our conditioning is where true sentience arises, and it begins in the heart.

Virtually all of my "peers" blow a fuse a few pages into my work (such as this section of my site (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress)), as it challenges the egocentric conceits of their conditioning. Almost nobody on Earth is willing to challenge their cherished beliefs (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), because believing in them is how they eat, as it is the foundation of their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) status. After many years on my journey, I know that precious few people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) are fit to help an effort like mine, as its successful outcome means the end of the world as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and more than 99% of the population reacts with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) at the mere mention of FE. It also does no good to judge (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) the semi-sentient masses who are thrall to their scarcity-based conditioning. It is just the state of the human animal these days. But some can overcome their conditioning and manifest true sentience, and those are the people I seek. Only when the masses can experience FE and what can come with it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) will they begin to wake up. After years of carrying the spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) for people such as Dennis and Brian, I realized that the mass movement approach will not work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). Trying to use people's self-interested and semi-sentient awareness to initiate an Epochal Event will not work and is even suicidal. There is not enough collective integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) in the masses for that, and the so-called "smart" are trapped the most of all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3). But every FE newcomer begins at the social consciousness level, and the first thing they do is evangelize the FE idea to their social circles. I have seen relationships and careers end that way. I am doing something very different, and I have yet to encounter anybody who truly understands, although some are trying mightily, and when I encounter that, I am only too ready to help them.

When that coming Epochal Event happens, and only then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), can the Super-Epoch of Scarcity end and abundance begin, humanity will become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), and human societies will change in ways that many think are "impossible" today, but it has been like that before every Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine).

In the hunter-gatherer Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2), men dominated, as males had dominated the human line for at least ten million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), and in those patrilocal societies, women were second-class citizens and little more than chattel. That trend was broken in the early days of agriculture, when women began raising crops as an outgrowth of their gathering duties, and they began to bring in more calories than the men, their status rose, and those became matrilocal, broke up the male gangs, and those are the most peaceful preliterate cultures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). When Europeans began invading North America, the matrilineal societies of the Eastern Woodlands astonished and beguiled them, and running off and "going native (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive)" was an epidemic problem for the invaders.

Without exception, patrilocal "primitive" societies were extremely violent and women had hard lives of toil with little freedom and were treated as little more than possessions. While some men may have treated women better than others, the paradigm set by their economic conditions was never broken in any society of significance. The kind of society that could form was determined by its economic situation, and that has been true of all societies for all time.

Agrarian economies produced peasants, and when civilizations appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), they all had the same basic dynamics, of a thin agricultural surplus appropriated by the elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) and a small professional class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), with the hunter-gatherer religion subverted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) by the professional priesthood into deifying the elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity). There are no known exceptions to that dynamic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up3), and I believe it is merely the result of behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), who are all basically the same (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up), encountering similar economic circumstances.

Industrial economies produced very different societies. Slaves, which appeared with agriculture, disappeared with industrialization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Energy-driven machines perform more than 99.9% of the work in American society (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), and industrialization meant the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), which changed societies from short-lived and illiterate cultures to long-lived and educated ones, and females were "liberated" for only the second time in the past ten million years or more.

It has been said that the only way to evaluate any political-economic system is by the people it produces, but that has always been constrained by the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), which scientifically illiterate people may best understand as discretionary income (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary). Almost all "activism" and "progressive" behaviors are only trying to reshuffle the deck of scarcity, to make it marginally more equitable. All operate within that framework, and that is why they react to the idea of FE with denial and fear, just like virtually all people do, as it completely collapses their ideological framework, and few minds can weather that. But I seek the few that can, and I have seen what such people have in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). Only they can help me manifest an event unprecedented in the human journey: the conscious initiation of a new Epoch, in fact a super-Epoch that ends scarcity once and for all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That has never happened before and it won't be easy, not with humanity's inertia and the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), but that is what I am devoting the rest of my life's "spare" time to helping manifest, and we will see how it goes.

Hi:

Odds and ends today…

It is way too easy for me to get sucked up into current events, especially what is happening today in Syria. The days of the USA's global empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) are coming to an end (http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/10/17/the-fall-of-the-unipower/). As with all wars (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), everything happening in the Middle East today has oil and other resources at its root (http://theantimedia.org/mainstream-media-finally-admits-syrian-conflict-is-us-russia-proxy-war/). It has been that way there (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) for more than a century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). Of course, FE makes it all go away and more (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). As humanity waltzes toward World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), the question of whether we are a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) looms ever larger.

I was just reading about a club (http://qz.com/524583/a-us-state-court-must-decide-is-this-godless-church-still-a-church/) that is trying to be recognized as a religion, for tax purposes. I was reading the IRS's criteria (https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Churches-&-Religious-Organizations/Churches--Defined), and organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) could easily qualify, with its temples, priests, inquisitions, and the like.

I have long written about people's addictions to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), and especially among the "smart (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)." Addicts who do not acknowledge their addiction cannot be helped. Materialism is a religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), but its adherents do not recognize it as one, in typical addict style. Flag-saluting Americans do not seem to realize that they are engaging in an act of religion when they worship the flag (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag). In capitalism, greed is seen as a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), without a trace of irony. Those ideologies all qualify as religions.

The choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will need to leave all such religions behind if is going to get anything done. I read a lot of my work with a sense that it could be so much better (artists (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) are almost never satisfied with their work), but it will have to suffice. Editing my site's essays last year brought them into general alignment with my big essay, and I admit that I get happy thoughts when thinking about reading my big essay, and the essay's first half (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) is my favorite in many ways. When I read that half of it, I take my mind back to the Devonian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#devonian), to the Permian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permian), to the Mesozoic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#triassic), to the days when huge mammals dominated Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsize), and imagine what it was like. Those experiences constantly beguile me.

The human half of my big essay is generally far less enjoyable, as it covers the evil acts that humans have committed against each other and Earth's denizens for tens of thousands of years. But even then, I think back to those fleeting golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) (usually not so golden for the life forms that fueled them), before humans depleted their energy supplies, and then it was back to scarcity and a fight for existence. A golden Epoch is just around the corner (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), if enough people can muster the integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and sentience. I have long known the kind of people that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) for that Epochal task, and the problem will be finding those needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but I like my odds, with this global tool called the Internet. If not my effort, then another, but I doubt that any other approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that I have tried and seen have a prayer in today's world.

Hi:

Briefly, before I begin a pretty busy day, I recently heard from a scientist who has been reading my work for more than a decade and who helped edit my big essay, and he wrote that list that I reproduced (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1008370&viewfull=1#post1008370). My reply to him was like that post, and he replied by stating the lament I have seen from the few who really understand: almost nobody on Earth really understands the role that energy plays in our world, and has always played. The GC's keenly understand it, and one of their primary goals is to ensure that nobody else does, or if they do, they get trapped in the "laws of physics" and structuralist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) dogmas and become Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3).

Another person who helped me during my editorial process asked me to create a "golden path" of the gist of my essay, and while I was not quite sure what he meant by that, this table (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) is my response to it. And I have yet to see anybody pick up even one of those balls and run with it. Any one of those events in that list can be the subject of a deep, comprehensive, and enlightening discussion, and that is one thing that the choir is going to do. In fact, I just added a thread in my forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/82-The-Energy-Event-Timeline?p=269&viewfull=1#post269) to discuss that timeline. I will add the others, and likely have to initiate the discussions.

Best,

Hi:

Yesterday, I was rereading a book on gold that I used in my big essay. In hunter-gatherer cultures, gold was meaningless, as it was a worthless metal. Iron from meteorites was used, as it had value as a tool, but gold and silver were worthless and only had meaning in Third Epoch cultures, and it was usually dug by slaves, usually slaves whose lives were expendable. Egypt began that practice (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold), and it was emulated by Carthage and Rome in Spain and Spain in the Western Hemisphere (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#biggest).

Gold and silver were used in art, but generally elite-aggrandizing art, just as all the monumental architecture was elite aggrandizing. The other use was money. Money is only accounting, with no intrinsic worth. All early writing was elite accounting or tales that aggrandized the elite. It is hard to get too inspired by early civilization, when the big picture is taken in. All of that worthless and often evil activity, so that small ruthless groups could gain economic ascendancy over the masses, masses that only existed because of agriculture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#agciv).

Elites become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) (like slaves became obsolete in the Fourth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend)), and economic exchange (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) becomes a meaningless process. Soldiers also become obsolete, as they are strictly artefacts of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#soldier). Those peacekeeping grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) may be required for a short time, until those violent men finally give up their Young Warrior delusions (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors). Even though nearly the entirety of humanity is oblivious to those dynamics, Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) sure isn't, and more than anything else, that is behind his organized suppression of FE and related technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). He knows that it is game over if the FE cat gets out of the bag.

But Godzilla has innumerable allies, mostly unwitting, who also only see their hard-fought positions disappearing in the Fifth Epoch. They are the Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), the Level 5s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), those who argue that violence and greed are intractable and essential features of human "nature," even virtuous (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed). They are essentially no different from antebellum southerners who argued for slavery with their biblical and economic arguments (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas).

The choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will not be trying to reach any of those people, not the oblivious masses, not the elite, not the Level 3s, the Level 5s, those who argue for human "nature" to justify our evil systems, and so on. The choir will be made of needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) who seek to magnetize and draw more needles. At about 5,000-7,000 of them, a critical mass is going to be reached, and then making FE happen will be easy. Finding and training those people will be the hard part, but the curriculum has already been developed.

As I have written, almost everybody who hears about FE and are not in denial or fearful (and those people are less than 1% of the general population) immediately think that the social approach will work, and they rush out to evangelize their social circles, approach "progressive" organizations, and so on. Often, they have the salesman's mentality. Believe me, I understand. Been there, done that. Dennis and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) took those approaches, and I carried their spears and had my life ruined for my trouble. But FE newbies constantly try out those approaches, thinking that they know the trick that nobody else does, as they sally forth, approaching the rich and powerful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich), "progressive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1)" organizations, and so on. If they survive the experience, they have to get those newbie delusions out of their systems before they are going to be fit for what I am trying. Dennis and Brian immediately understood that I was doing something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852), and time will tell if I make a dent or not. So far, not one person has been willing or able to step up and have a deep and public discussion of the curriculum. Impatience is my Achilles heel (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), so my approach is one more opportunity to work on it. :)

Time to begin my busy week.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I have long said that psychopaths make great executives and politicians, and almost all politicians are lawyers, so this list (http://www.statista.com/chart/3883/the-jobs-that-attract-the-most-psychopaths/) was "fun" to read. The members of the media are often professional liars (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), the "killer instinct" required for salesmen makes that a natural profession for psychopaths, and I don’t need to tell anybody about cops (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), do I? :) Of course, surgeon was no great surprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#arrogant), either, and with a genocidist recently making sainthood (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1002395&viewfull=1#post1002395), no big surprise on the clergy, either. The only one that surprised me was chef. I really don't get that one, and maybe somebody could try to explain that one to me (they tried to, here (http://www.alternet.org/culture/10-careers-most-psychopaths)).

Best,

Hi:

This will be a familiar theme, but I feel like writing about it this morning. :)

I was rereading parts of Sheldrake's The Science Delusion last night, and again, it is a fairly tame challenge to materialism, even naïve at times, such as his proposal that the authorities mount a contest for the delivery of a working FE device, as if organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) did not exist. Fuller remarked on that kind of scientific naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive) that also snared Sheldrake. That aside, Sheldrake makes thoughtful challenges to the dogmas of establishment science's materialistic religion. The unholy warriors of materialism (AKA "skeptics") were successful in getting his tame talk banned at TED (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=740177&viewfull=1#post740177). The "skeptics" are often professional liars (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) who can rarely string two rational thoughts together, but they portray themselves as the dispassionate voice of reason and honest inquiry.

As an example, several years ago, I read a critique of my work in a "skeptical" forum, and aside from lauding Mr. Skeptic's criminal behavior (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends), the only substantive criticism was that I seemed to mention Hitler too much in my work. Gee, when I wrote a book-length essay on World War II and the Jewish Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm), noted how the USA hired death camp Nazis to found the CIA (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen) and NASA (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi), noted how Hitler received his anti-Semitic ideology from one of the USA's leading industrialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racism1), and how he fashioned his genocidal plans for Eastern Europe after how the English and Americans invaded and conquered North America (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#hitler), why ever would I mention Hitler? :) That kind of irrationality abounds among the "skeptics."

Sheldrake remarked on freeing the term "skepticism" from its Orwellian arrogation by the "skeptics" and returning it to its original meaning, which means doubt. Unlike organized religion, doubt instead of faith is the operational principle of science, at least ideally. The "faith" of organized religion and the dogmas of mainstream science are certainly not what their founding members were about, and the greatest scientists wrote at length about it (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical). Enlightened scientists will say that the story that establishment science tells is one of history and process, and it cannot answer the riddle of consciousness or any intent behind the universe's creation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2).

In his book, Sheldrake explored the theological foundations of the Big Bang hypothesis. The fact is that the prevailing hypotheses of cosmology rest on pretty shaky ground. Heck, we have not even left our solar system, and we supposedly know all about how the universe works? Scientists have had to invoke dark matter and dark energy, which have never been observed before, to get their equations to work.

A chapter of my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) is devoted to the virtues and limitations of establishment science, and another to the tools it uses today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset). People need some scientific literacy to understand my work. They don't have to be professional scientists, but they need to know the basics of the mainstream scientific process (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) and its findings. Only then can they develop any discernment about the fringes or begin to cultivate a comprehensive awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). The New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)/conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) crowd generally has no discernment as they gobble up the last fringe pronouncement with the gullibility that tabloid readers do. I am continually bombarded with the latest "insider" scoops, which are breathless announcements on the cloak-and-dagger world, imminent UFO disclosure, and the like, delivered by people claiming lofty spiritual and/or insider status. It is almost all rubbish, but people eagerly lap it up. I take all such "insider" revelations with a grain of salt. There are some grains of wheat amongst the chaff, just like with all disinformation.

I was talking to a pal just last night about the mainstream media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and how my awakening about how it operates began a couple of weeks after I met Dennis, as the company was smeared on local TV with a Big Lie (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), and that was merely a gentle preview of what was ahead for me. When I heard that my own mother made a scrapbook (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=300436&viewfull=1#post300436) of all the lying articles about us and took it on tour to my family, friends, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal, I was no longer even surprised. When I heard who was likely Ed Herman talking up his new magazine, Lies of our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot), I was ready for what it had to say. If I had not already been awakened by my ride with Dennis, I wonder if I would have ever studied such material or truly digested it. I would have likely never done any public writing of note.

When studying how the media operates, relating it to our experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#deputy) was what validated and grounded the information for me. If I had not had brutal experiences being on the receiving end of those media attacks, the information would have likely resided on a "shelf" in my mind, as I would have been "skeptical" that it really worked that way. You can't get radicalized by study. I have stated many times that unless people have had their mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), which can only come from experience, all the mystical literature in the world will not mean much.

It was years after I heard about my pal's little underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) that I heard Greer's Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) describing the same technologies. They are very real, and the principles that they operate under turn today's physics texts into doorstops. Brian's reaction to that show was nearly a yawn, and he proceeded to tell me about nearly dying soon after he hosted a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) and the USA's military made him an "offer" to do classified UFO work. They play for keeps, and what Brian encountered was likely a few levels below Godzilla's realm (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). Dennis has had Godzilla's full attention more than once, and he has also had extensive interaction with lower-level players, such as the Rockefellers and Rothschilds. My close relative who was a contract CIA agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) who worked for a household-name diplomat also played in the milieu that is a few levels below Godzilla's. There are many levels of the game.

Tom Bearden is an odd bird, but when he described Godzilla's game theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), and I realized that I had already borne the brunt of most of Godzilla's bag of tricks (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), I gained more respect for that old man, even though he often blunders in his FE theorizing. Dennis blunders in his public explanations plenty, too, but I also know about the reality that those men have faced, and it is very real.

Navigating those minefields to productive understandings of the issues can be a bewildering experience, and I regularly see people disappear down rabbit holes that lead nowhere, and there is a mountain of chaff on the fringes for every kernel of wheat, FE inventors announcing that they are the Second Coming or Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and the rest of that circus. People are not going to reach productive understandings by surfing YouTube and listening to the talking heads of the mainstream or fringes. First, a person has to be awakened somehow, and I found that the only worthy awakenings begin in the heart. Only then can people free themselves from their in-group conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) enough so that they can see beyond it. Otherwise, they are like a goldfish in a bowl that does not know the meaning of water. FE newcomers often want to rush out and "do something," not having the slightest idea of their peril or folly, as they think that they can evangelize to their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) and that all those paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) just needed their involvement to work. Those highly hazardous delusions need to be shed ASAP, if the aspirant really wants to be of any use to an FE effort with a prayer.

Best,

Wade

[Fiberglut]

Wade,

Perhaps a bit off topic, but not with respect to FE. Are you familiar with Eric Dollard and his work? Some have labeled him Tesla 2. I just listened to his interview on Higherside Chats which revealed his lack of appreciation of the paradigm shift FE would bring about. He clearly doesn't appreciate the nature of or even the possibility of the 5th Epoch and and yet he claims to have a thorough understanding of the physics. Is he the real McCoy in your estimation, or just another pretender?

Best,

Fiber

[Wade Frazier]

Thanks Fiber:

You bring up an important subject that I plan to spend a few posts responding to. In short, if the FE issue is not approached from a comprehensive (AKA "holistic," "interdisciplinary") perspective, the person will have a stunted and unproductive perspective/approach at best, and at worst is risking his/her life. I am not very familiar with that inventor that you mention, but there are many, many like him out there. My energy awareness was at the inventor level more than 40 years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and evolved through the businessman's, the mass agitator's (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and the like, and I have seen nearly everybody in the milieu get stuck in those levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) (6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6), 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), 9 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), 10 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), 11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11)). I would not necessarily call that inventor a "pretender," but more like somebody with tunnel vision. Inventors see FE as a technical/theoretical problem, a way to get rich and famous, some go megalomaniac and think they are the Second Coming or Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc. There are many ways to fall off that razor's edge. Lots of phonies, too. Heck, the biggest event in the human journey gets all manner of person attracted to it, and many are like Orcs lusting after the One Ring.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Before I get to Fiber's post, I was already planning to write on an issue that I am not sure that I have publicly discussed before. With the continuing wars and violence in Iraq and vicinity, I regularly see American journalists bandy around death tolls that the USA was responsible for, and it is usually somewhere between 100,000 and 350,000. That greatly underestimates the real numbers, and broaches the subject of genocides, death tolls, and responsibility.

All empires are based on conquest and plunder of foreign lands, to benefit the invaders. Sometimes the conquest is relatively benign. The Incan Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#andean), for instance, often invaded people who were at the margins of subsistence, even hunter-gatherer types, and brought in llamas and crops, which improved the locals' food supply, but it was so that the Incas could have something to skim. Empires rarely attracted foreign peoples to join up, but militarily conquered them. In the past century, the West's conquests have been largely corporate ones, called neocolonialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#neocolonialism), in that the conquest and exploitation was more corporate than nationalist. The USA has been doing it in Latin America for the past century, and stealing Panama from Columbia (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#panama) was arguably its first great act in its neocolonial phase, which continues to this day. Ironically, invading Panama (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#preludehttp://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) was the first imperial act that the USA took after the Berlin Wall fell, which killed thousands of people, and was a warm-up for what it would soon do to Iraq.

The West has been invading and meddling in the Middle East ever since Winston Churchill converted the British Navy – the world's greatest imperial tool – from coal to oil in 1911 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). The Sikes-Picot Agreement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement) was all about carving the Ottoman Empire into controllable oil states after World War I was finished, and only the Russian Revolution prevented Russia from having a place at the table back then, so it was the British and French show, carving the region into controllable polities, with puppets on the thrones. The first king of Iraq was an outright puppet (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#churchill) that the British used after the French kicked him out of Syria. The USA took over after World War II, and overthrowing Iran's republican government (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran) of behalf of the oil companies and installing a dictator became standard American practice. The next year, on behalf of an agribusiness company that the Secretary of State and head of the CIA literally had a financial stake in (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), the USA overthrew another republic and installed a dictatorship in Guatemala, which led to genocidal death tolls.

As economic hit man John Perkins was taught (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist), because the grandson of an American president ran the operation to overthrow the Iranian government, it was decided to privatize those activities and use mercenaries who had no official position in the American government. Covert action today is largely engaged in by CIA contract agents (one of my close relatives was one (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia)), and mercenary firms such as Blackwater, Wackenhut, and so on. The only people designed to be deceived by those practices are the people who ultimately authorize the violence: the American people, who are the primary target of the CIA's disinformation (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#secrecy), for instance.

When the British invaded, conquered, and exploited India (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal) for two centuries, it enslaved a subcontinent that was even ahead of them on the industrialization curve in ways. When one people conquers and enslaves another, they are responsible for all that then befalls their slaves, including the effects of keeping them illiterate and their dysfunctional adaptations to slavery. What I have constantly seen is imperial peoples blaming their victims. It is like that John Milton quote of poking somebody's eyes out and then reproaching them for their blindness (http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/308420-they-who-have-put-out-the-people-s-eyes-reproach-them).

When Europeans began conquering the world, they were responsible for two great demographic catastrophes. One was the largest in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), as two continents were depopulated, and the other was shipping millions of Africans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavery1) to replace the natives of those depopulated continents, to literally work as slaves. The British conquest and subjugation of India cost nearly two billion lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), according to the only estimate that I ever saw. Imperial conquerors never publicly tote up the tally of their evil deeds, and the same person who estimated the cost to India has estimated the cost of the USA's imperial forays into Iraq and Afghanistan at around ten million lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading). Most of the brunt of those invasions was borne by children who died of starvation and disease in their war-torn nations, and the USA owns virtually all of it, along with imperial has-beens, the British, who have been only too eager to carry our bags for a cut of the loot. A crown prince remarked that killing Afghanis was like playing a video game (http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2013/jan/22/afghanistan-taliban-response-prince-harry).

Those who come up with death tolls of 100,000 or 350,000 are playing a deadly and disingenuous game, as they try to limit the USA's score card to only people who died from the direct violence of American armaments. Unfortunately, I have studied genocides and demographic catastrophes at length, and only the deeply dishonest, even arguably evil-minded, play those games of reducing the death toll by spinning it onto our victims, if the deaths are acknowledged at all. One of best books on this subject is Ward Churchill's magnum opus, A Little Matter of Genocide, and writing that book cost him his career (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#churchill), in our evil system.

Hi:

I have a few minutes to respond to Fiber's query (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1011642&viewfull=1#post1011642), and this will be the first in a series of posts that I think will be important, and is more of why I have taken my approach. My initial orientation to disruptive energy technology was the inventor's, as I learned at the knee of my first professional mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). A few years later, that damned voice changed my studies from science to business (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), which I now know was intended so that I could meet Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3) and Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). Those are the only times that I ever heard from that voice.

Virtually all inventors invent to get rich and famous, not to help the world. I learned that the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209) over a decade of disillusionment. For the few inventors who may be benevolently motivated, their nerdish tunnel-vision rarely lets them glimpse beyond the scientist/inventor's awareness, which is involved with technical/theoretical issues. I am a semi-nerd myself, so I have some insight into their condition. They usually have a very naïve outlook (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive), such as thinking that the energy interests would welcome their innovation. Sparky Sweet was like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). Dennis always lost his naïveté reluctantly and honestly (like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked)), and believed the ads that the electric companies ran, thinking that they would throw him a tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) for bringing the world's best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) to the market, and obtain the energy savings that they said they were so desperate to achieve.

Even Dennis and Sparky really did not appreciate the epochal significance of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which is a big reason for writing my big essay, but that is a subject for later. Heck, even Brian O really did not understand FE's epochal significance, calling the energy issue "one of the biggest" on the planet today. Heck, everything else is noise, compared to that. To be fair to Brian, if he had lived long enough to read my big essay, he would have understood. Nobody has ever written anything like my big essay before, so I am sympathetic to people who do not understand the central role that energy has always played (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents).

When I see FE inventors only concerned with the technical/theoretical aspects of FE, and they have no inkling of the bigger picture, they are very typical. I am not saying that some of their hearts are not in the right place, but that they just have a stunted perspective. Almost everybody on Earth has a stunted perspective that rarely extends past their immediate self-interest. That is just how it is, in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and don’t expect the masses to begin to wake up before the means of abundance are delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It has been like this for all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and even the inventors had little inkling of what their innovations would lead to. FE inventors not seeing past the technical and theoretical issues, or making a lot of money, is typical, and it would be surprising if many saw all that far beyond that. When they do, megalomania often takes over, and the inventor announces that he is the Second Coming or Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah).

Hi:

To make my sentiment very clear, I am always going to have a soft spot for inventors, and not just because of my background, growing up in an inventor's workshop (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). By and large, they are doers, not pretenders, but in our benighted world, they almost never profit from their inventions. In invention and technology development classes (a close relative took one recently), the students are taught that inventors are almost always screwed, and that is for normal inventing. FE inventing takes the intensity of those dynamics up by a few orders of magnitude, where the "lucky" ones get bought out (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff), with their technology shelved, and the not so lucky have their lives ruined and/or prematurely terminated (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). When they get the golden handcuffs, they can never scratch that inventing itch again.

Almost without exception, FE inventors have no idea what they are getting into, kind of like a five-year-old running onto an NFL field at game time, thinking that he can get the ball and score a touchdown. I really don't want to hear about it when another FE inventor announces that he "Has it!" and he and his businessmen buddies are about to bring FE to the world. That is a naïve approach for normal inventing, and potentially suicidal in FE inventing. Bucky Fuller remarked on the naïveté of scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive), and it applies in spades to inventors.

FE inventing and development is a lot harder than the talking heads out there make it seem. For normal inventing, taking an invention from prototype stage to market requires far more resources than lone wolf inventors can muster, which is why they almost always get screwed on the way to market, as capitalist interests take over. Capitalism is based on greed and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), and those dynamics ensure that naïve inventors are going be stolen from, abused, and almost never profit from their inventions. For FE inventing, normal inventing is merely a hint of what the inventor faces (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate).

That stunted vision of inventors is also normal. Few people ever expand their awareness beyond their immediate self-interest, so the inventor's blinkered viewpoint is typical and expected. I also have to wonder if that tunnel vision is also a protection mechanism for FE inventors, to keep them sane. Genius is a close cousin to insanity, and tension between empiricists, theorists, and inventors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theorists) is a key one in the advance of science and technology. The magnitude of FE is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion), and when inventors begin to glimpse the immensity of it, delusions of grandeur beckon. Few egos or minds can handle FE's Epochal immensity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and I have been in that wrestling match myself (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202). FE inventors regularly go off the deep end, overcome by greed, announcing that they are the Second Coming, Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc. I learned the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209) that inventors have no more personal integrity than the average population, and that is not saying much (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). It is just what it is, and it does no good to judge that situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), but those in denial of it and try to "do something" are putting themselves and those around them in peril that they are too ignorant to understand.

A great illustration about inventors is in the Star Trek movie First Contact (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_First_Contact). The TNG crew went back in time to when Cochrane achieved warp drive, and they were in awe, meeting Cochrane, walking hallowed ground with him, and when asked about his motivation for creating such an Epochal technology, Cochrane said that he did it to "make money." The writers knew what they were writing about, and the FE milieu is the same. Like the inventor that Fiber asked about (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1011642&viewfull=1#post1011642) to begin this series of posts, the inventor does not know and does not care about the bigger picture, but has a stunted awareness, typical of FE inventors. That does not mean that he is a pretender, but just has the tunnel vision that is typical of all inventors. For the magnitude of what FE means, it can be pretty amazing to see how blinkered the vision of FE inventors generally is. Becoming rich and famous is about the limit of their motivation and awareness. I have never met an altruistic inventor, and Dennis thought that he met one in all his years, who died in his parking lot, in an event that his assistant did not think was coincidental, and another person on Dennis's inventing team also died suddenly in mysterious circumstances that the police refused to investigate. That is just how the land lies in the milieu.

More posts are coming on this subject in the coming days, but it is crunch time at my day job, so my time is limited to write posts.

A brief aside, before I sign off for the day. I am constantly approached by people who cannot leave their scarcity-and-fear-based baggage at the door, as they try to enlist me for their cause, think that there is a group out there that is going to resonate to my work, etc. It is not going to work how they think it will. I am looking for needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) and know it, and have devoted the rest of my life's "spare" time to finding and training them. I already wrote the textbook, and will likely begin a public discussion of it before long, and choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) class can begin. I expect to learn new stuff from my pupils, too, but they also have to leave their bright ideas in their back pocket for a while, and they will eventually discard almost all of them before they ever present them, as they begin to see the big picture. Believe me, I am intimately familiar with the beginner's perspective on these subjects. I was once there, long ago, but I never presented my "bright ideas" to Dennis when I carried his spears. I was well aware that I was in the presence of somebody who had walked paths that I had not even glimpsed, and it was only after years of playing Indiana Jones's sidekick that I ventured any opinions on how to make it happen, after I had been radicalized, and I realized how little I knew when I began my journey. Can my pupils achieve the required perspective for my approach to work, without going through the meat grinder? I think so, but they have to have already been awakened somehow (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69).

Even today, I openly acknowledge that Dennis has learned things in realms that I will never play in, but I am also playing a different game. I can barely imagine his journey, and I was there for its darkest chapters (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr). Our goals are similar, although not even Dennis really understands the Epochal significance of FE, as he lugs around his Third Epoch religion. It is not easy to even begin to understand FE's significance, and you can even see on my Avalon thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1011642&viewfull=1) people stumbling in with, "Energy, so what?" So everything (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). Others think that the only changes will be cities becoming more livable, cars having FE power them, jobs requiring less hours for more pay, and the like. No, it won't be anything like that. Nations, races (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), and many aspects of our societies that we take for granted and think are vital aspects of our societies, and even call human "nature," are going to quickly become meaningless, and few minds are willing or able to chew on those ideas.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Bill Gates strikes again! Windows 10 is a dog, and I had a hard crash this morning, and Windows 10 was not able to reboot, uninstall, reinstall, or anything!

I am still trying to figure out if it was hardware related (my graphics card, in particular) that started the mess, and I fortunately have a huge machine with big drives, and I was able to "back-door" a Windows 7 system onto one of the ancillary drives and at least make sure that I did not lose any data. I am likely going back to Windows 7, and keep that system on my machine for the rest of its life (several more years, I hope), but I may not make a post for days, as I recover from this disaster.

I am likely going back to Windows 7, and keep that system on my machine for the rest of its life (several more years, I hope), but I may not make a post for days, as I recover from this disaster.Based on what Steve Gibson has been saying of Windows 10 on his weekly podcast with Leo Laporte, I suspect that reverting to Windows 7 is the right solution.


http://thepythoniccow.us/Idontrunwindowsoften.jpg

[Wade Frazier]

It was my graphics card that began the cascade, and I will be reverting to Windows 7 and seeing if I can limp along until the card comes in (I could order the exact same one from five years ago...), so I might be kind of quiet this week (also working long hours at the day job).

[Ernie Nemeth]

Fe inventors, then, are kind of like people who downloaded Windows 10 for free thinking it will be the best OS of all time!

[Wade Frazier]

Har-dee-har-har, Ernie. I will make some lemonade out of your post before long (it opens up a series of posts relevant to my FE work), but I need you to raise your game if you want to be a welcome poster to this thread. You can aim a lot higher than making smart-assed peanut gallery posts.

Best,

Hi:

I have a little time this morning. I will not be fully recovered from my latest Bill Gates disaster for another week or so. I have been Microsoft’s customer/victim for more than 30 years, and that is quite a story and relates to my FE quest, and one day, maybe soon, I will tell it.

Back to inventors. Not many come up with anything worth suppressing, but that does not make them pretenders. Pretenders are people such as Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), and Mr. Texas (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas), but they were professional pretenders (Mr. Skeptic (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) was another pretender, probably a professional (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic)) who were sicced on us. Also, you get rank amateurs who are pretenders, such as that FE scientist/inventor who libeled Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=200&viewfull=1#post200), and those who promoted such tripe and should know better, such as Foster Gamble (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=621892&viewfull=1#post621892) and others whom I have seen lionized amongst the fringe crowd, including at Avalon. Those who kicked Brian out of NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) were pretenders, and the FE field is full of pretenders, including inventors who announce that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah). Mr. Stooge (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207) and the many who tried to steal Dennis’s companies were pretenders. There are probably at least a hundred pretenders for every contender in the FE field, but the New Age crowd (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is that way, too, and I would say that the same ratio likely applies to the conspiracist crowd (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism). Those are merely more examples of my journey’s primary lesson: personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). So it is, in a world of scarcity and fear. The relatively few contenders are those who played on the high road for a time (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), and you probably have to be subjected to organized suppression Intervention Level 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) to be considered an FE contender. During my days with Dennis, we received Level 7 intervention more than once, and Dennis probably led all contenders, giving Godzilla more than one sleepless night. FE inventors are a dime a dozen, but there was nobody like Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). Dennis is still a contender, but others usually fall off the high road after suffering through organized suppression events.

How normal inventing works is almost always some technically proficient man who intends to solve a problem, and he gets to tinkering in his garage or shop. He funds his early efforts with his “extra” cash, and if he gets very deep into the process, leveraging up his credit cards, borrowing from friends and family (very dangerous!), mortgaging his house, etc., is typically how he operates. He often has a long-suffering wife, who rarely understands her husband’s obsession, and if she sometimes dreams of her husband becoming rich and famous, she is usually far more concerned that he does not maim or kill himself in his garage/shop in a mishap, burn down the house, or bankrupt the family. That is just for normal inventing, and as I have written, normal inventors almost never profit from their inventions, but it gets stolen from them on the way to market, and a lot of the theft is “legal,” as the money people extract a high price for their involvement (venture capitalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money) always do), and the inventor usually loses the rights to his technology before his invention ever gets to market. That is the typical outcome in our rapacious system.

For FE inventing, take those dynamics up a few orders of magnitude. Those Intervention Levels of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic) are very real, and only fools deny that reality and sally forth, dismissing contender accounts as merely tall tales. Mark was young and naïve when he got his wakeup call, inventing an FE prototype (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) in the basement of a nuclear facility. Mark’s awareness quickly went from what I call Level 6 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) to Level 7 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7): Mark thought that he could sneak past the organized suppression, and was rudely disabused of his delusion. Mark was a smart boy, however, and then began to figure it out, to learn years later how hopeless his FE inventing situation was, and he stopped playing that game 30 years ago. His trajectory was almost archetypal. He never became a Level 8 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level8) (nobody that I really respected in the field ever became one), and he was a speaker (http://newenergymovement.org/speakers.php) at our NEM conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), which was the last time that I saw him, and he seems to have dropped off the radar. His wife (https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200407/the-power-coincidence) has an article at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Targ), which does not mention him. Typical.

Many FE inventors succumb to paranoia. They can become paranoid before they are even suppressed, but one encounter with the organized suppression can send them into paranoia, they play secrecy games and the like, and effectively suppress themselves. The paranoid often lash out at their allies, unable to tell friends from foes, and I have borne the brunt of inventor’s paranoia more than once. It is not pretty.

Sparky Sweet became paranoid after receiving some rather rude suppression activities after mailing working prototypes of his FE device to the energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). The opposite happened, and he began writing his notes in code, kept his technology proprietary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary), and took his secrets to this grave, dying of a “heart attack” soon after fleeing into hiding (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky) after the last death threat. There is no hiding from Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and when I see people advocate or try that, they are already defeated. But I regularly hear from naive FE newbies who advocate the “sneak past them” approach. It not only will not work, but is certainly not aligned with the spirit that can make it happen. Secrecy, anonymity, deceptions and the like are tactics in a world of fear and scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) (and Godzilla is the master of those tactics, and thinking that he can be beaten at his own game is foolish and potentially suicidal), and IMO, only an effort aligned with the vision of the highest possible outcome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) has a prayer of success, and that has informed my approach for many years. The approach has to be loving and happen in broad daylight to have a chance. I began my journey thinking that way (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist), and it was eventually beaten into my head. Those who want to play games of anonymity, secrecy, sneaking around and the like have no business being in the FE milieu, if they want to be successful. I hated the cloak-and-dagger game when I was forced into playing it, and I will never do it again.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I will wrap up my inventor’s posts with this one. I began my energy journey with the inventor’s perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and after that voice first spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), I began to develop the businessman’s perspective, but class really began when I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). He is the greatest champion of inventors that I know of, but the inventor in his stable (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209) when I met him began to wake me up to the reality of inventors. A decade later (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2?p=233&viewfull=1#post233), I was certain that the inventor/businessman’s approach to FE was not going to work. By that time, Dennis admitted to me that his idealistic notion, that people really cared, but did not have anything worth caring about, was false (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings). We learned that lesson the hard way. The most important lesson of my journey was one that I resisted every step of the way, until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms: personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). But it does no good to judge humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) for its benighted state. It is just what it is, and inventors have no more personal integrity than the general population. Inventors aren’t heroes, but have a creative urge, like any artist, and in our world of scarcity and fear, becoming rich and famous is their primary motivation.

Also, there is a tunnel vision that specialization encourages, and Bucky Fuller thought (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#slave) that the over-specialization of scientists in his day was a ruling class tactic to keep scientists in the dark with their tunnel vision, never seeing the forest from the trees. So, there is encouragement of the stunted vision of scientists, and inventors suffer from the same affliction. Ideally, inventors and scientists stimulate each other, and that is a key tension in the advances of science and technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theorists), although the ideal, as in all areas, is rarely achieved.

When FE inventors have stunted vision, such as that inventor that Fiber began this series of posts with (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1011642&viewfull=1#post1011642), that is normal. The entire FE field is in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), as it focuses on scientists and inventors, almost none of whom have the right stuff, and almost none of them have the goods, either (Godzilla takes those people out quickly (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), and about all that is left out there today is the chaff). They are greedy, want to become famous and have their groupies, like rock stars (the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is like that, too), succumb to megalomania when they do begin to grasp the larger picture and announce that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc. FE is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion), and few minds and egos (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260) can handle being in the presence of those ideas for long, like an Orc in the room with the One Ring.

FE inventors with the goods are contenders more than pretenders. They become pretenders when they announce they are the Messiah and the like, but more pretenders play the “sneak past Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7)” games, play Young Warrior (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), think that they will become the Bill Gates of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), and the like. Inventors who see the FE issue as only one of scientific theory and technology have stunted vision, but as I wrote, it could well be a protection mechanism to keep them sane, as a glimpse of the larger picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) could overwhelm them. Again, I have a soft spot in my heart for them, but FE inventors are only a small piece of much larger puzzle, and a big reason for my work is to help people see the big picture, for those who are willing and able to (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), and I know that they are needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Inventors have their place, and an important one, but in today’s FE milieu, they are quite overemphasized, and lone wolf FE inventors do not stand a chance in today’s environment. Any successful FE effort is going to have to greatly de-emphasize inventors from their current prominence and put them into the larger framework.

Time for work.

Wade

Sorry to interrupt.

You claim to be offering a method to raise our consciousness by unlearning the falsities inherent in society’s scientific dogma. Yet you pick and choose the pertinent facts to suit your own agenda. That is a function of perception.

To a certain degree perception aligns incoming sensory data and factual interpretations with personal beliefs. If data reveals an error in understanding, the understanding must be altered. If it is not, the errors accumulate until incoming data can no longer be ratified or assimilated without greater and greater degradation of perception. In other words, if false understandings are not unlearned and replaced with a more suitable world view then perception begins to report of a world that does not in fact exist. To a large extent, this describes the plight of our modern society: it is an illusion.

So it is perception you are trying to change because perception is a function of consciousness.

To be truly conscious one must be aware of the underlying aspects of reality. It is one thing to have senses that input data and a nervous system to respond and learn in response to that data. It is another thing entirely to try and put into context the reason for the input in the first place. A world view is not possessed by many, if any, animals... From this point of view all humans are sentient - they have a world view - whether right or wrong. But to be truly conscious an overview must be present that accurately reflects the true state of reality. From this perspective, most humans are not sentient.

Reality never changes. Our perception of it always does. It is the overview that makes the difference. It is not the individual’s world view that changes with every new fact that is important, it is the overview that allows placement of the isolated fact into the proper category where it adds to comprehension and not to confusion. That is how reality never changes. It is consistent. It must be because it is real.

But the statement, “Reality never changes.”, is actually a paradox because if there is one constant in this universe it is that it is in constant flux. So a state of flux is its constant. A changing but non-changing pattern is a paradox, however. It is also a rather good description of fractals. For what is a changing, non-changing reality but a narrowed focus, an inspection, a non- inclusive and local bias, a perception within an over-arching composite collection of similar phenomena?

What we perceive is not actually what is there. Perception is an act of faith. It behooves us to rest our faith in the permanent and true.

If consciousness is the over-arching composite matrix upon which our perceptions ride, what then are we? What is life? What is matter? What is all phenomena?

In the context of your work, it would have to be, and can be only, energy.

It takes energy to alter course. It takes energy to perceive. It takes energy to evolve. It takes energy to make matter. Those examples, in no particular order of importance, illustrate the nature of the relationship between state and flux. There is only one true state: that of wholeness. All flux is an error of perception, which does not exist.

Perception is an error. It implies something forgotten, and now partially remembered. Only the overview process can correct an incorrect world view and its accompanying perceptions.

It takes energy to change. It takes energy to perceive. It takes energy to survive. It takes energy to think. It takes energy to hate.

It takes no energy to love.

If there is a direct correlation between consciousness and energy then our conscious evolution is limited by energy availability. Energy not only drives our technological civilization, it drives our conscious evolution as well.

If love requires no energy, and if there is only energy and consciousness, then love must be consciousness itself. How well it has hidden itself, there in plain sight all along.

Perception, then, is nothing more than degrees of love, an impossibility, brought on by the unavailability of energy - another impossibility. Not only do our bodies crave energy, so too do our souls!

The very vehicle of experience itself: our conscious, sentient selves, our essence, requires more energy to further evolve until perception can finally be laid aside and love can guide mankind, serving as its overview, its conscience, while the world view of individuals finds new expression directed at fulfillment and satisfaction.

Energy must be freed so that mankind can free their perceptions and replace their fears based on scarcity with love based on abundance.

Free energy now!

How’s that? Raised my game any?

Naivety is our bane, we of good conscience. It is both our strength and our weakness. It pisses me off. I give my benefit of the doubt too often, too, and too often it is undeserved.

Best regards.

Hi:

Well, I lied a little. One more post on inventors, which will segue to my Microsoft tale. Inventing and writing runs in my family, so what I have done with my life is no great surprise. When a Michael channel gave me a reading long ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), I did not suspect that I was an Artisan soul (I suspected Server or Warrior, given my journey with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), or Scholar, given my academic aptitude), but then I looked around and realized that virtually all of my possessions consisted of my fast-growing library, my music collection, and prints of my favorite painters (van Gogh (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe), Monet, etc.), and I had begun my writing efforts by then. Doing system design in my career (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes) is classic inventing, and that way to get every truck driver home every night (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#vision) came to me like great inventions do (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash). The positive pole of an Artisan’s orientation is creativity (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#role), and the positive pole is accessed through love (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#jesus).

Being an Old Artisan, I understand the pitfalls of being “creative” for creativity’s sake, and artifice is the negative pole of an Artisan’s orientation. I have always been a computer “geek,” but do not play on the bleeding edge and have been a notoriously late adopter of some technologies that the masses use because I can see their downsides. Technological innovation for its own sake (or self-serving and racketeering reasons) is artifice, and I always look at an innovation’s utility and its downside. I never wore a pager, did not get a cell phone until I was forced into it by my job, and did not get a smart phone until my wife forced me into it, and I refuse to text or tweet. I could write a lengthy post on that whole “mobile” phenomenon, but not today. In practice, much of it is a disaster, just a new way to gossip that is dangerous in several ways.

My site, and particularly my big essay, is classic Old Artisan work, and that comprehensive perspective that I am trying to help people achieve is a standard Artisan undertaking. Artisans have the most “inputs” into their awareness of any soul role, which makes them the ultimate multi-disciplinarians and is how they stir their creative juices. I was mentored by a Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and Dennis is a benevolent genius (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), the likes of which I have rarely encountered, so I had some great examples to learn from and have been a student of genius since childhood.

Being told that I helped plan Earth School and melt down Atlantis (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#atlantis) made a lot of sense when I looked at my life, and my life’s work can perhaps be seen as cleaning up my mess, helping Earth heal and humanity turn the corner (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). If nothing else, it has been “fun.” :)

So-called “intelligence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#intelligence)” is a highly charged topic, I come from a family of geniuses, and had to take IQ tests from a young age (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102). As I recall the tests (I also had to take them as my wife’s guinea pig when she was in graduate school, and she also farmed me out to fellow students), parts of them related to the ability to remember meaningless bits of information. There are all sorts of controversies about “intelligence,” what it means, what it is good for, and the like, but high “intelligence” is related to the ability to hold information in one’s mind and manipulate it, and the more that can be handled at once, the more that can be done with it. Only when it can be simultaneously held in one’s mind can the connections be made. For that reason, thinking comprehensively (also called systems thinking) requires the kind of mental horsepower that is called “intelligence.” I designed my work so that people do not need to be professional scientists or geniuses to understand it, but I could be wrong. People likely need IQs of at least 110 to grasp the essence of my work, but if it requires genius-level IQs, then I failed. My approach will still have a chance, even though my potential audience would be far smaller.

My experience is that where a person’s heart is is most important (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), waking up beyond our conditioning is next, the “intelligence” issue is a distant third, and having a mystical awakening might be required at some stage of the learning process, otherwise the person is stuck in materialism (Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) are largely materialists who have not risen above their conditioning), which is a religion, and materialists can be as dogmatic as the most fervent religious fundamentalists, and they miss seeing the big picture because of their scarcity-based faith (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). In my experience, conspiracism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) is kind of a cop-out, a simplistic way to view the world because conspiracists are unwilling or unable to see the bigger picture and understand complex dynamics, and conspiracists tend to think like victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Structuralists do, too, and they are systems thinkers, so systems thinking is not enough, and Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) has many evil-minded geniuses on his payroll. Only about 1-2% of engineers have the eye of the artist, with that creative insight. Most are just “plodders” who can grind out work, crunching the numbers like a machine. They are not the innovators. True innovation in our world rides on very few backs. Bucky Fuller said that only one-in-100,000 scientifically-trained people (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#hundred) would keep humanity advancing technologically, but they would be enough. It is not enough, however, when Godzilla (and lower-level interests) plays seek and destroy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) on those whose innovations threaten his global control, and in the energy field the most, by far. All previous Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) were initiated by a relative or literal handful of people, and I don’t expect it to be different this time. I only expect to amass a relative handful, but that handful will be enough (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). If somebody else can do it, they are welcome to try. I wish I was only one of thousands trying my approach. Then FE would be here in no time at all, and the fun can then begin.

Back in my early days of mystical study (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), Seth’s work was brain-breaking, and I encountered people spending a day or two reading Seth’s work, thinking that they grasped its essence before they moved on to some other New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) flavor of the day. For those who began to grasp Seth’s material (and a mystical awakening was a prerequisite), the delusions of those “skimmers” were obvious. They failed to realize that they were in far over their heads and did not even begin to understand. I have been getting similar reactions to my big essay, as people say that they read my big essay in a day or two and rejected key aspects of my work because they are beholden to folk tales (the literal truth of the Old Testament (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), for instance), or some fringe author whose work does not pass muster (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=105&viewfull=1#post105) as science or scholarship, but caught their fancy or appealed to their “faith,” and they uncritically swallowed it. I could spend the next ten lifetimes studying the material in my big essay and still feel that I was just scratching the surface. That non-comprehension is an endemic problem with the scientifically illiterate and tells me that my potential audience is going to be even smaller than I thought, and I was not thinking it was going to be large in the first place (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). Work like mine does not need salesman. What will attract the people I seek is a high-level conversation of my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Some are studying for that conversation, while most scientists and academics in my circles hide in the shadows, afraid to stand on the global stage with me. I do not expect my effort to begin quickly, but I refuse to water it down to appeal to a wider audience (because the effort will then not achieve what I think it needs to, to have a chance at success), although I have made some nods to readability (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity1.pdf) and made some summaries (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanityppt.pdf), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary)). I do not plan to make many more gestures in that direction. The material is as good as I can make it, given the challenges of my life. It is up to the readers to do the work, and I am here to help them.

My next posts will cover my life with technology and computers, including my connections to Apple and Microsoft, and the contests between Jobs and Gates.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

That’s better, Ernie. I try to ground my approach in the reality of the world I live in, and the “facts” I use are based on experience that can be validated, not the kind of crazed speculation and dot-connecting that characterizes Velikovsky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), for instance (which you have expressed your admiration for, an admiration that I don’t share, as I don’t consider it valid). I respect the scientific ideal, while I acknowledge its limitations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox), and the same goes for scholarship. In a world of scarcity and fear, it is all about people’s immediate self-interest and meeting it through their in-group membership (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). I seek to help amass a group that sees all of humanity and life on Earth as its in-group, and yes, love is the key (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). That has never happened before, and I think it may be a key, maybe the key, for helping FE overcome humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression. That is what I am trying to do, and little else really interests me anymore. The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is plenty for one man’s plate.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

OK: computers, technology, and me. As I have written, I was a bookwork from the time I could walk (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) and was trained to be a scientist from a young age. By the third grade, not only was I learning different numbering systems and going to Saturday morning science class and collecting fossils and bringing them in for my teacher to identify (Permian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permian) marine fossils, as I recall, the kind that abound in south Texas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology_in_Texas#Prehistory)), but I was chosen for the first of numerous “gifted” programs of Johnson’s Great Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society) projects. It was the peak of the Postwar Boom’s prosperity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and I cannot complain, being a member of history’s most privileged demographic group. A Tesla took me under his wing (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), and that awakening year of age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe) was when I got my dreams of changing the energy industry, and I eventually got to chase them, when a voice in my head led me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice3). My Tesla-like mentor wrote programs for the Navy in the 1960s, which ran on their mainframes in a tiny fraction of the time that the old ones took, to arrive at the same answer. So, I was introduced to programming at a very young age.

When that voice changed my studies from science to business (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), part of the curriculum was information systems. I took two programming classes and an information systems class, and if I took about two more classes, I would have likely gone the computer consulting route rather than the CPA route that I took (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing). Even though I got record test scores in accounting, my heart was in information systems, and my department head (I was his paper grader and tutor) got me an interview with Arthur Andersen consulting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Andersen#Andersen_Consulting_and_Accenture), but I was shy those programming classes. Programming and information systems design was effortless for me, and I can see that the systems thinking of my scientist’s orientation made computers a natural for me. I can now see that it was another aspect of my budding comprehensive perspective.

I hated my days as an auditor, but in my first year, Apple came out with its Macintosh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh), and my accounting firm bought 3,000 of them. I lugged mine around to clients. With my audit bag, printer, and adding machine, I looked like a Sherpa, hauling 60 pounds or so of gear. I tried to get a job in my home town of Seattle out of college, but picked the worst recession in 40 years to graduate, and I was soon heading to LA to begin to my career, after a sobering tax season working for a small CPA firm and being fired soon after April 15th.

Those first Macintoshes did not have hard drives, but a 400K floppy drive. During my last year at the firm, we got our first hard drives, and mine was ten megabytes. The spreadsheet that I used was called Multiplan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplan) (Excel’s predecessor), made by some startup company called Microsoft. I also used their word processor, Word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word) (as well as MacWrite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacWrite) – there were more than a dozen word processing programs in those innocent days of the new industry), and when that voice spoke up again and told me to move to Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), working for that company was high on my list of priorities. But I met Dennis instead (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoopee), just as Microsoft had its IPO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft#1985.E2.80.931991:_The_rise_and_fall_of_OS.2F2). $1,000 invested in Microsoft’s IPO was worth $1 million by 2000. If I had gotten on with Microsoft, which I have little doubt that I could have accomplished, I would have stopped working for a living long ago. But that voice in my head had other plans for me.

At our company in Ventura, we used Macintoshes and other computers, and I began using DOS machines back in 1986 in Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), crunching the numbers for our free energy dreams. After I crawled back to LA, when Dennis was in solitary confinement (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#solitary), to work for that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), all I did for 18 months was crunch numbers using Lotus 1-2-3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_1-2-3) on a DOS machine, performing financial analysis, writing huge macros (programs), to turn the spreadsheet program into an accounting program (that was not unusual in those days, and people even sold accounting packages based on 1-2-3 macros). At the same time, in 1989, my wife was in graduate school and planning to go on for her doctorate, and we bought a Macintosh Plus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Plus), which became my first home computer, and I had it for six years. The only upgrade I made to it was increasing the memory from 2.5 megabytes to 4 (as I recall, the hard drive was something like 30 megs), and that was a prelude to building computers and maintaining them.

Computers were still kind of unusual in back offices, and when I worked at that bank after moving to Ohio (and those hillbillies tried to get me fired (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion)), I worked with microfiche, columnar paper, and an adding machine. It was not until I began working at that trucking company that I finally no longer had to use columnar paper in my job, although my adding machine still sat on my desk (I finally retired it there, and finally threw away that relic back in 2012, when I moved into the home I live in today, and it still had my business card taped to it from my public accounting days). When I reconstructed Dennis’s books in Seattle (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), and when I did it for that family that we lived with in Boston, it was pencil, columnar and ledger paper, and that adding machine.

When I began working at the trucking company (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=272&viewfull=1#post272), we were on an AS400 system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System_i), located in another state, and we were operating on crappy software, vended by a company in Oklahoma City, which had a virtual monopoly in the industry, and I worked with the head programmer, modifying our software. I made hundreds of programming requests, designing some systems from scratch (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes). That head programmer would be called a CTO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_technology_officer) or CIO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_information_officer) today, as he ran the datacenter, too, and maintained that AS400 machine. When I worked there, he more than half-jokingly said that we should go into business together, modernizing trucking companies. When I took my 9,000-mile road trip in 2013, just before I began writing my big essay, I visited that head programmer, and he said that working with me was the highlight of his career.

At that trucking company, I led the way to modernizing the accounting department, and buying personal computers was part of my job. I bought ours and maintained them, solving device conflicts by tinkering with jumpers and dip switches. I was really being a computer tech, in that aspect of my job. A few miles from our office was a computer superstore, and I was a regular denizen. In corporate America in those days, nobody used Apple machines. They were for artists, engineers, and grandmas, and PCs with DOS operating systems were the corporate standard. At home, I was using my Macintosh, but at work I lived in the PC world. I used Lotus 1-2-3 at work, and other than the operating system, I did not buy Microsoft software for the office (I used Ami-Pro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%AD) for word processing). To this day, I have not had a home computer longer than I did my first, which I had for six years. It worked great, never crashed, and I played my first computer games on them (Wizardry VI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry_VI:_Bane_of_the_Cosmic_Forge) was my favorite, and still probably the most joy that I got from playing computer games), and with my daily work with DOS-based PCs at work, I did not want to give up Apple for the home. While I was at the trucking company, after ten years of effort, Microsoft finally successfully copied Apple’s system, and I put Windows 3.1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.1x) on our machines (or more accurately, bought machines with Window 3.1 on them). Other than Windows 7, Windows 3.1 was the most stable Microsoft GUI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface) operating system that I have used (and Windows 2000 was my most enjoyable system to work on). The DOS systems were pretty stable, too, but what a way to operate, writing at a command prompt to launch programs, no mouse, etc.

This post is the beginning of a series that will have relevance to my FE work and writing. I was right in the middle of the Apple and Microsoft worlds, and when Steve Jobs was first ousted from Apple, the company began going downhill. In 1993, my Macintosh was four years old, and I wanted to upgrade, but I also worked in the corporate world and wanted a machine that I could also use for work. Apple announced plans to make a machine that could run Apple and DOS programs, and they called it the PowerPC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC). I waited for a year, after the breathless announcements (John Sculley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sculley#1983.E2.80.9393:_Apple_Inc.), who ousted Jobs, was ousted himself about the time that that dual-system PowerPC was announced), for a machine that could run both Apple and DOS/Windows applications. I went by that computer superstore, which had a separate Apple department, on a regular basis, waiting patiently for that PowerPC to come out. When it did, it laid an egg. It ran Apple applications at 486-speed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80486), which was the PC standard then, but ran those Windows/DOS apps at about 286-speed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80286). That was a huge disappointment, and then I knew that it was only a matter of time before I joined the Evil Empire, as Microsoft was called in those days, and soon after Microsoft finally successfully copied Apple’s operating system, I bought my first PC for my home, running on Windows 95 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95), from Gateway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway,_Inc.). The next year, the Internet became a big deal, and I wrote my first website on that machine, publishing it in November 1996 (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#philly), and I have had a nearly continual presence on the Internet ever since. I smile when I think of my first website. I had a long way to go as a writer.

That Gateway computer was the last one that I bought like that, where I ordered a standard machine that came to me built and ready to go, like an appliance. Ever since, I had my machines either custom built, or I built them myself, such as the machine that I use today.

One buddy has been a programmer for 50 years, he helped edit my big essay, and he told me long ago that in his world, writing for mainframes, that PC software was considered garbage, hastily written crap that was poorly designed and unstable. He said that most of his effort as a programmer was thinking of what could go wrong and writing error-correction code. Mainframes never crashed into the “blue screen” death of Windows machines, as stability was a cornerstone of development. As I look back, the DOS and Windows 3.1 days were days of innocence for me, on the PC front. Those machines were very limited in what they could do, but they were stable and almost never crashed. In the days after Windows 95 was introduced, I could only dream of those days of computer stability. My Macintosh also never crashed.

The story of Bill Gates becoming the world’s richest man is no rags-to-riches tale, but a blueblood who cleverly and unethically took over a nascent industry and turned it into a monopoly, and then milked the consumer. His path has had many ominous parallels to John D. Rockefeller’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1), and I have now been Microsoft’s customer/victim for more than 30 years. I have followed Microsoft’s trajectory since 1986 and Apple’s since 1984, and it has partly been “fun” to watch, and in other ways maddening, and this series of posts will explore the events of those years, including my relationship with Microsoft and Apple products, I will show some of the connections to my FE work today.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This is going to be a short one, as I have to go to a long day at work. Back in the 1990s, there was a running joke (http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/autos.asp) in response to a comment that Bill Gates made on the computing industry, comparing it to other industries. When I said that Macintoshes were stable, actually, not all of the programs running on them were, and the most notorious in my early days was Multiplan, Excel’s predecessor. If I built a spreadsheet of something like 20 columns and 50 rows, it would crash. It was an early example of “undocumented features,” where the user would get screwed out of the blue by the program. It was really the only Macintosh program that I recall crashing like that, and one of my fellow geeks told me what the Microsoft error codes translated to, and one was: “You f**ked up.” Literally, that was what the code really read, if you could see their internal manual. Those were the wild and wooly days of personal computing. Customer/victims like me learned to avoid those “features,” and I built small spreadsheets.

I use Excel every day in my career, and bugs that still crash it that have been around for many years. You just learn what its limitations are and work around it. It is like that with most Microsoft software, but all software had its bugs and limitations. I worked at software companies for about 15 years, and oh, the stories I could tell.

Best,

Hi:

I could write for months on the computer issue. The reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy, and in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), computers may well become sentient, and some of Godzilla’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) computers may have already achieved it. Because of my orientation, designing systems, crunching numbers for a living, presenting them to users and explaining them, I understood that making it user-friendly and useful (timely, relevant, reliable, actionable) was always the goal, and it takes a comprehensive thinker to do that, as I eventually realized. I have worked on dozens of accounting systems, and I was constantly “amazed” at how poorly they were designed. I am an architect, but so much software was written by just setting a bunch of carpenters loose, banging nails into boards. I could write for days on Apple and Microsoft, and I’ll probably write more than a few posts on them. The primary difference between the companies was that one was visionary and the other was about making money.

You would not have wanted Steve Jobs over for dinner, or Bill Gates (Steve Wozniak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak) might be fine company for dinner, on the other hand). They were/are strange people. After he died, Gates said that Jobs was “weirdly flawed” as a human being, as his two modes of interaction were trying to seduce people or making them feel worthless. Living across the street from Microsoft’s campus like I do, I have been hearing Bill Gates tales for many years. He is a bizarre human being, a nerd’s nerd, and his “philanthropy” is of the John Rockefeller variety (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#philanthropy1), as usual. But Jobs was an ingenious visionary. He “got” the ideal of computers, which was to make lives easier for everybody, not just nerd-ware. He was the co-founder of the personal computer for the masses, with the Apple II, which woke up IBM, who rushed out their personal computer (called PC today). They needed an operating system, fast, to keep up with Apple, and DOS was developed by a nerd in Seattle. Bill Gates’s mother knew IBM’s chairman (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Maxwell_Gates#Career) (through their connections with a fake philanthropy organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Way_of_America#Scandals_and_criticism)), and talked him into using her son’s company for the operating system. Bill bought the operating system from the nerd for $50,000, rebranded it, and sold it to IBM. Every PC shipped with the nerd’s operating system, who only ever made that $50,000, while Gates became the world’s richest human. That event made Microsoft. It was basically a license to print money, and Gates was just a clever middleman who used his blueblood mother to get his foot in the door. Gates is smart, with an IQ a lot higher than mine, but he is no visionary, not really. Jobs, on the other hand, was, and it was his genius that made Apple into what it became.

As I wrote in a previous post, I waited a year for Apple’s PowerPC, and when it laid an egg, I joined the Evil Empire. Apple was becoming a company that made a bunch of mediocre products (just like Microsoft), but when Apple finally realized its folly in ousting Jobs, it asked him back in 1996. Apple nearly went out of business, and Microsoft helped rescue them, of all companies. The first thing that Jobs did when returning was kill off a bunch of its crappy products and focus on making a few great ones. Apple’s products for the next 15 years, until Jobs died, were iconic and revolutionary, such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Jobs conquered where everybody else failed, and it looks like Apple will never again scale the heights that it attained while Jobs ran it.

Visionaries like Jobs are few and far between. Jobs died before he could tackle the Big One, which is remaking the television into the heart of a home, where TV and computing are married, and the TV becomes a big computer monitor for watching TV, surfing the Internet, Skyping (the phone call will largely become obsolete), writing and making other content, and running the home’s infrastructure. Science fiction stories long depicted that kind of computer, and if Jobs had lived long enough, it would have been his Everest. It remains to be seen if the Jobs-less Apple can do it, and I have my doubts.

Time to try to finally recover from my latest Bill Gates disaster, as I received my video card, will now install it, and then spend much of my weekend completing my recovery. In a nutshell, like that car analogy in that joke, when machines that Windows runs get a flat tire, the engine disintegrates, the air bags inflate, and the gas tank explodes. That reflects poor design, and shows how far computers have to go. In relative terms, today’s personal computers are like Model A Fords (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_A_%281903%E2%80%9304%29). In that heavenly Roads world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), the technology is almost inconceivable to people today, but I have no doubt that in a few centuries, for those who take the loving path, that world beckons. That is what my work is all about.

It is so strange to read about computers and not read about GNU/Linux. I had occasional access to computers from the late eighties, and very good access to computers from 1994 (but did not own one). I first used DOS and then switched to GNU/Linux in 1995 or 1996 and never looked back, it required an entire day to install it at that time, (it is a breeze nowadays).

Nowadays it has become invisibly pervasive in society powering everything from Android phones to Google, Facebook, I estimate 80% of code in Apple OS is open source (written by others and used and improved by them).

The genius of Jobs is in the polish, not in the underlying core infrastructure components.

We could for trivial amounts say $50 per person/year in high income countries (say total of $50 billion USD a year) make all the software that we need, it would protect our privacy, and provide all software and technological services required for everybody. A true abundance (not the FE kind) but still vastly superior to the inferior products from Apple and Microsoft and google and facebook or volkswagen (http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2015/09/22/vw.html) and every other commercial supplier out there.

We only need to imagine that world and via our combined positive intentions it will appear. Unfortunately we don't have the thoughtfulness and sentience required, and will continue to suffer in the world's that we are attracted to and create with our imaginations.

I had to take my machine into a shop for diagnostics that I cannot perform. I might be quiet for some time.

Hi:

I am back faster than I anticipated. I worked a 12-hour day yesterday, and today is my first day off in two weeks, and I planned to install my new video card (the last that Amazon had of my original card), and it did not solve the problem. Then, I knew that I was in over my head, as I could not diagnose if it was a motherboard problem. I took it to a computer shop, with both cards, and told them the story. I got a call a couple of hours later. Both cards were dead, and they put in a new one, and I am off and running. A dead-out-of-the-box graphics card. Not good. Well, I hope I am good for another five years, but we will see.

Hi:

I have a little time, between recovery tasks. Jobs was far more than a polisher. I saw him like Dennis, way back in the 1980s. Dennis got involved in fledgling industries more than once, which were largely stuck in the craftsman stage, dominated by engineers, tinkerers, and other technical types, and Dennis industrialized them. What he did with his heat pump is still the most brilliant thing that I saw him do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dennis). If you let the engineers, scientists, and technicians run the show, it quickly goes nowhere. Jobs had a great ability to understand how to marry technology with marketing, with vision. That is an extremely rare talent. I have been in companies where the programmers ran amok, building “cool stuff” that was irrelevant to the company’s direction. I have been in companies that were all flash and no substance. Jobs saw how to make products that were stable, easy to use, and visionary, even revolutionary. Like Dennis, he was not the original inventor, but he took technologies in directions that made the biggest impact. High-tech and software is still young and innocent, unlike the energy racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). If Jobs tried what he did in the energy industry, he would not have done it for long.

Here is a little bit on system design. System design is like that tension in science between specialists and generalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists). The devil is in the details, but specialists can get tunnel vision, just like programmers can get all geeked out. The ideal software is easy to use but geeks can also play with it. That ideal has yet to be achieved. There are many potentials of software (AKA the reproduction of intelligence) that have not yet begun to be realized, and I’ll agree with Freeknowledge that it is not going to happen under the capitalist model, just like true medicine will not appear under the current paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system) (I was just reading about how the Amish do not get autism (http://www.healthfreedoms.org/the-reason-why-the-amish-do-not-get-autism/)), just like truck drivers sacrifice their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=279&viewfull=1#post279) for capitalism, etc. Those systems will not be reformed from within, but will become obsolete when abundance reigns, and only FE can do that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Trying to tackle the capitalists is what the rad left does (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), in its impotence. All such activities are hacking at branches. Going after the root of it all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) is where the impact that matters will be, and everything else is noise.

Hi:

I need to make one of my public service announcements. I am regularly approached by people who want to be part of what I am doing. For anybody who really wants to be part of what I am doing, my requirement is pretty simple: study my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) and discuss it with me in the public forums that I am part of (Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1015336&viewfull=1) and Spectrum (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?48-Healed-Planet), for now). There are literally thousands of topics to choose from. For those who hit the notes that I seek to hear, they may be invited into my forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=279&viewfull=1). But almost none of them even try. Virtually all of them want to do something else, which is usually at cross-purposes to what I am doing. Almost invariably, they want to rush out and “do something,” whip up some stampede by proselytizing to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and the many other paths of failure that they think will work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), but they have absolutely no experience on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257). I am only interested in my approach, and nothing else.

I carried the spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) of the best of the best, our approaches did not stand a chance, and I decided to do something else. My approach is the product of a lifetime of trial-and-error. I am not interested in people dragging their scarcity-based baggage (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) into what I am doing and grinding their axes, as they try to get me to understand why their “bright ideas” will work, as if nobody had ever tried them before. There are no easy ways out. Manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will require an unprecedented act of integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), but if I can find enough singers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), nobody will have to play the soldier, laying their lives on the line. I have witnessed enough ruined and shortened lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) for a lifetime, and have no interest in seeing any more, especially any carnage of FE newcomers who think they know how to make it happen.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Back to computers and me. While I was designing systems at my trucking company (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes) and buying and maintaining our PCs, when the PowerPC laid an egg, I bought my first PC for home when Windows 95 came out. Theoretically, with Windows 95, there were no more solving device conflicts by playing with jumpers and dip switches, as Windows 95 had Microsoft’s first version of Plug-and-Play. It quickly was dubbed “Plug-and-Pray.” Over the next decade, I am not sure that I even saw one time when a new component or peripheral was installed and worked. I watched them crash the system, even so badly that I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch (even when simply plugging a peripheral into a USB slot), and for the more “benign” ones, I was able to download an updated driver and get it to work. I do not recall anything ever working right out of the box, in the decade after Windows 95 came out. Stuff like Linux came out in those days, but it was strictly geek-ware, the software version of those pre-Apple machines that you could buy at Radio Shack and solder together on your own.

For anybody who was not a geek, Apple and Wintel machines running Windows were the only games in town, and that had a lot to do with Microsoft and the dirty games it played. In the 1980s and early 1990s, there were more than a dozen word processors, Novell had the first networking software, IBM had an operating system (OS2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2)), a company called Netscape created the first browser, and Lotus 1-2-3 was the dominant spreadsheet program. Microsoft wiped them all out, to one degree or another. When it came out with Windows 95 (it took them ten years to finally copy Apple’s interface), programs made by companies other than Microsoft would not work on Windows machines, which drove them out of business. Netscape’s browser was its only product, and Microsoft used its monopoly pricing to make Internet Explorer and give it away, to wipe out Netscape (http://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/mar/22/web-browser-came-back-haunt-microsoft). There was an infamous meeting at Microsoft led by Steve Ballmer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ballmer) (who you also would not want over for dinner), when the Microsoft employees engaged in a “Death to Netscape” chant that became a frenzy, and Netscape was quickly wiped out (http://www.cnet.com/news/ballmer-navigator-a-threat-to-windows/).

All of those dirty games gave Microsoft a monopoly on desktop computers, and Bill Gates was worth about $100 billion in 2000. In 2001, I built my third PC (or was it my fourth?; they only lasted about two-to-three years in those days), and as I recall, I paid about $1,500 for the hardware, and $1,800 went to Microsoft for its operating system and application software, mostly Office. No wonder Gates was so rich, gouging the hell out of his customers with monopoly pricing, and their stuff was garbage. My wife is disabled, and I did not want to get her a computer until she could talk to it. Theoretically, Dragon Naturally Speaking could have achieved it back in the 1990s, and the machines I had made in 1998 and 2001 were specifically bought so that they could do voice recognition, but bugs in either Microsoft’s operating system or Word or Outlook prevented Dragon from working. It was not until 2005, when I had an XP machine built and was able to get the voice recognition to finally work, that I had one built for my wife. Seven years of trying before Microsoft finally ironed out its bugs, but I bought another machine in 2010 that had bugs in Word that prevented the voice recognition from working like it should have, and a couple of year ago, my wife announced that she was going back to Apple machines, tired of the Microsoft crap of buggy and crashing systems, and the like (I had endless problems with her 2010 machine – it was unstable, and I had to wipe it more than once, and even had a shop wipe and install, and it was still unstable). She will never go back, and I can’t blame her, and we live across the street from Microsoft and she deals with Microsoft people daily.

It was so bad in those days that if you ever got a Microsoft machine stable, you never did anything to it. You never replaced any peripherals or components, and forget even getting new software. It was so rickety that any changes at all could crash the entire box. The process was to buy the hardware and software together, and not change them for a few years, until the whole arrangement became obsolete (of course, planned that way, so customers kept coming back for more punishment).

In 2000, Microsoft came out with Windows ME, which was the successor to the garbage Windows 98, and Windows ME was just as bad, but that year they also came out with Windows 2000, built on its NT platform, and that was still my most enjoyable Microsoft system to work on. But I still had to reinstall it several times, and twice it was because I plugged a peripheral into a USB port. I could not believe it at first, but using Microsoft stuff regularly “achieved” what you doubted was possible. By 2005, my Windows 2000 machine could no longer operate in an Internet environment, instantly penetrated by malware if I connected to the Internet. Twice, I reinstalled everything from scratch, and before I could even download a patch to upgrade the security, the malware had already penetrated my machine. This is really bringing up “fun” memories. :) I likely spent months of my life, all told, wrestling with my Microsoft machines.

In 2005, I bought XP machines, and that was really the first Microsoft machine that I did not curse. I kept mine until 2010, and millions of people used XP until Microsoft recently stopped supporting it. It got to where when Microsoft announced a new operating system, people like me groaned. It was traumatic to use their new crap, and Microsoft even waged an advertising campaign to compare people to dinosaurs who did not upgraded to their newest software. I have yet to see such open arrogance from another company.

People like me were very wary when Vista was announced, and it was the usual garbage. I even had a Microsoft pal who said to not use Vista. Millions of people like me planned to ride XP for as long as possible, and Windows 7 was Vista fixed, and I took the plunge in 2010. Things have improved over the years, and in 2010 I decided to build my own system with the best components, to see if I could get ten years out of my computer (I had gone from three to five years, in 15 years of using Windows machines). I still may. When Windows 8 came out, people like me avoided it like the plague. The only time that I ever worked on Vista or Windows 8 machines was when naïve relatives bought machines with them, then called on their hapless geek relative to help them out of their jam, and it was maddening to see how poorly Vista and Windows 8 were built.

Windows 10 is Windows 8, fixed, and I am uncertain if Microsoft will continue to support Windows 7 as long as my machine lasts, so I knuckled under to their carrots and sticks, and the rave reviews I read, and made the plunge a couple of months ago. Migrating from Windows 7 was easy, which is a first for a Microsoft machine. But within days, it became evident that Windows 10 was far from a finished product. A graphics card failing could have scrambled my Windows 7 installation too, I imagine, but I took the opportunity to migrate back to Windows 7 (wipe the drive and reinstall), and I am going to see if I can ride on Windows 7 for another five years.

My greatest dismay, with my Windows 10 experience, is the reviewers gushing over something that is obviously far from a finished product. In retrospect, it was like reading Pravda gush over Stalin’s latest gambit. I do not recall reviewers being so dishonest before, or setting the bar so low. I suppose that it mirrors the general decline in the American media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). I have plenty more to say about Microsoft, but I think that I am about finished with the “fun” of using their stuff. Several years ago, I saw a brand-awareness survey, and how people reacted to brand names. It presented a spectrum of opinion, and on the far end of “good” were Harley owners, who would marry their motorcycles if they could (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=277&viewfull=1#post277). At the far end of” bad” was what the survey called “Master-Slave” and Microsoft was on that end, all by itself, with nobody even close. I was enraged many times by the heavy-handed way that Microsoft dealt with its customers.

When Windows 8 came out, it was so bad that they knew they had to come out with another version soon. But that “Master-Slave” mentality was so ingrained at Microsoft, that the people running the “Fix-Windows-8” project, at the director level (I was at the director level in my high-tech days), were openly disparaging of their customers struggling with Windows 8. Ballmer was forced into stepping down not long ago, and his successor almost immediately fired 13 of the 15 directors on the “Fix-Windows-8” project, in an attempt to begin fixing Microsoft’s toxic environment. Lots more to write on this subject, but it is time for chores.

Hi:

I recently looked up that trucking company that nearly killed my friend and got away with it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=278&viewfull=1#post278), and I was wrong; they were publicly-held when they hit him, although they only recently went public before they hit him. My experience is that nakedly illegal activities like that are not going be open policy at publicly-held companies. Sure, federal agencies hire people such as Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), who now works for the medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#biomed), but their rank-and-file members are not going to know about Bill or what he really does. Greer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) has given classes for many years, and big shots often attend, and once, the former CEO of one of those companies involved in black projects attended, and he had no idea that his company was engaged in those activities. Sitting American presidents have no idea what is really happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), and as Bearden once said (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden), the oil companies are not behind FE suppression, but their owners are.

If that trucking company (one of the largest in the USA today) still has a hit-and-run policy like that, I doubt that many people know about it, and I doubt that it still does. You can’t play that game for long in a publicly-held environment.

Best,

Hi:

Back to computers and me. If you study the financial economy and markets, or just the history of humanity, you can tell that humans are abysmal at assessing risk. Anthropologists think that it may be baked into humans, as risky behavior could confer evolutionary advantages, at least for the “winners.” Biological innovation usually happens at the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#holling), where the risk/reward ratio is high. It seems to be baked into humans somehow, as people engage in insanely risky behavior while denying that they do. On a macro-basis, anybody whose head is not in the sand knows that humanity is on the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and almost nobody knows or cares, which brings up the issue if humanity is a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). Even in the high-tech industry and places filled with supposedly “smart” people, I see risk ignored or dismissed all the time, to catastrophic effect all-too-often. For instance, when NASA designed the space shuttle, it estimated that only one in many thousands of missions would have a catastrophic failure, while the actual rate was orders of magnitude higher.

At every company that I have worked at for the past 20 years, I always inquire about their data redundancy practices, especially backing up and restoring their data, and I never worked at one that did it right, and this gets into risk, and I have some stories to tell. Today, the cloud is all the rage, and for people like me, its coming has been ominous, for several reasons, and one of which is when the cloud suffers a catastrophic failure and nobody has their data redundant locally, which they can restore, they are going to lose all of their data. The idea of the cloud is all about “efficiency,” and for my entire career, I have watched the short-sighted tradeoff of “efficiency” that greatly increased the risk of catastrophe. An easy way to understand this is in business, where companies lever up on debt, which is more “efficient” for generating profits, but the margin of error is reduced, so that less capital can absorb the vagaries of capitalism, so relatively small disruptions can collapse the system, as we saw in 2007-2009 (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron), and we are going to see again, as there were no substantial reforms, and companies are leveraged up on cheap money as never before. What is coming (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming) will make 2007-2009 look like a warmup, and almost nobody can see it coming, as usual.

The cloud is all about what is called virtualized environments, where software creates the illusion that all hardware is the same. In effect, it separated the software from the hardware, so that the software ran in a virtual environment, only “real” in the virtual environment. In a virtual environment, you cannot point to a hard drive where your data sits, as it all resided in an environment that is dependent on software in order to be seen. To a degree, that is true of all data, in that something has to read the data off the substrate, but in a virtual environment, the data is unreadable without the virtualized environment that keeps track of it.

The precursor to the cloud was at the personal computer level, called a RAID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID) array. You could have two hard drives on your computer, and RAID software could make them seem like one hard drive, so two readers worked on the same data instead of one, so your data could be accessed twice as fast. It made it twice as efficient, but if the RAID software crashed, both hard drives became unreadable. It was called a RAID failure. Immediately, when RAID drives came out, I could see that stupidity, where the drive for “efficiency” increased the risk of catastrophic failure. It got so bad in the 1990s that computers were sold that were already in RAID array, and I had to go into my computers and turn off the RAID feature. RAID arrays only make sense if backing up is doing religiously, such as hourly. Otherwise, whatever data was created since the last backup would be lost in a RAID failure. I lost data that way on my home computers, when it had a RAID array and I did not know that it did, before I learned to turn it off. But I have a doozy of a story to tell of RAID failures.

I began working at software companies in 1999, at the height of the dot.com boom, and worked at them nearly continuously until 2013. From 2001 to 2002, I was the part-time controller at a software startup company (while I was finishing up the 2002 version of my site), and like I had been doing for years, I looked into their backup practices, and they had poor-to-non-existent ones. The development drive (where all the company’s “product” sat) apparently was being backed up, but copies were not taken offsite. But their administrative server, which hosted their accounting system and everything that I worked on, was not being backed up at all. I got them to back it up (onto a writeable CD, as I recall), and I said that they could just have the operations manager take it home with him (and bring the “grandfather” copy to work, so there were redundant copies in more than one place). But whoever ran the operation decided that that was not enough, so they did it “right” in having a company pick up the copies and take them off site. It was really unnecessary, IMO, but if they wanted to spend money like that, it was their right to do so. My solution was cheaper and more appropriate for their situation.

They were one of the many startups that burned through VC money, and as I recall, they burned through about $15 million. Back in 2001-2002, when the first dot.com bubble collapsed, most companies went out of business, as few had business models that really made any sense. Some made sense, but all sorts of crazy “Internet” ideas were hatched back then, and back in 1999, I said at my Internet company that when the shakeout came, that it was going to be ugly, and it was even uglier than I thought it would be. My 1999 company burned through all of its cash and went out of business, which was the standard fate of nearly all of the dot.com companies during that first boom (the second will come to an end, soon).

By the summer of 2002, that startup was still burning through cash with little sales to show for it, and as they battened down the hatches and tried to survive, they decided that they did not need me anymore, and I left. About six months later, just as the war drums were beating for the invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), I got a call from that company. In the drive for efficiency, they had the administrative server in a RAID array, and the new president, in the drive for survival, saw the bill from the company that picked up our data copies, and terminated the service. When that happened, the company simply stopped backing up the administrative server. Then, one day they had a RAID failure, and they completely lost all of their administrative data, with no backups (I have had to try to operate with no records (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#victims), and it is not easy, let me tell you). They called me to see if I had saved any of the data at my home, and I went to their office and gave them what I had, which consisted of only a few Excel files. They went out of business a few weeks later. I am guessing that losing all of their business information was the final blow.

I shook my head at the organizational stupidity that led them to that disaster, and the “efficiency” of making their servers RAID-ed was their first fatal step. Even to this day, I have been pitched by cloud companies about how much more “efficient” their products were, and when I bring up the risk of catastrophic failure, I get a blank look in return. Getting a company to keep its data backed up and testing that data with restore tests is like herding cats. I have designed backup and restore processes, and there was constant resistance to it, not only from operations, but even the standard-setting bodies did their best to skirt the issue, as testing the restore functionality was a “hassle.” It is like saying that having a disaster drill is a waste of time, so nobody should have them.

I have found that in a world of scarcity, preparedness for disaster is seen as waste of time, or “mystical” people say that preparing for a disaster brings one on, in their airy-fairy “logic.” In a world of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), everything will be double and triple redundant, and any hiccups from the vagaries of living in physical reality are easily remedied. But in a world of scarcity, people ride on the ragged edge of survival, often questing after “efficiency,” and are oblivious to the risk.

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, I think this is a first, where Global Research linked to my work (http://www.globalresearch.ca/syria-another-illegal-war-of-aggression-based-on-manipulation-and-fake-intelligence/5348017). It was on the Iraqi incubator fabricated “incident (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#incubator),” and their link could have been more accurate, but that they linked at all was nice. I have long written that another way to attract my interest is to write about my site and link to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum1.htm), which is how I found that article. Kind of strangely, when I see people write about my site and link to it, usually lauding it, and I write to them, I hear back maybe 25% of the time or less. Kind of strange, but that is how it works in cyberspace.

I have contacted Global Research over the years, but never heard back from them, which is also normal. I contacted the author of that article, and maybe I will hear back, but that is a rare occurrence, and only once in a blue moon is that the beginning of a relationship. However, some of my best cyberpals came to me that way.

RAID is supposed to be redundant array of disks. So in theory should have more reliability, hey its "redundant". In practice the software to manage the disks has bugs and therefore introduces unreliability. Combine this with bugs in the Microsoft OS they become Array of Unreliable Disks. The costs that non-free software imposes on its customers via mis/mal features, bugs, arrogance (due to market share) is atleast an order of magnitude larger than the actual software itself. If the customers analyzed their situation properly and acted on it, (sentience is a tall order.. but one can hope...) they would fund equivalent free software and save money because of stability, less bugs and software that follows their orders of the customer not the orders of whoever wrote the software, in the medium term (say 5 years) it will be cheaper to develop and maintain also.

Wade, you should try out Linux, these days you don't even need a different computer. You can install Virtual Box (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox) on your computer and try out Linux inside it. (Voice recognition might not be very good, so not an option for your wife, but it should work well for normal day to day interactions on Avalon, reading on the internet, email etc..)

Hi:

I heard back from that author (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1015937&viewfull=1#post1015937), and he informed me that the article was two years old! :) I saw Syria and September, and figured it was new. The article is obviously still topical.

I can put exploring Linux again on my geek list of things to do, Freeknowledge, and you are pointing out the “inefficiencies” of capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), in the software industry, but the issues really are trifling, compared to other industries/professions. Nobody tried to murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors) Stallman, send him to prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), or offer him a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), and Earth and humanity do not hang in the balance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) over the software issue. Millions of people do not die agonizing and lucrative deaths (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system) at the hand of the software racketeers, nor do millions of people live in trucks (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/83-My-days-in-the-trucking-industry?p=279&viewfull=1#post279) to serve the capitalist ideal. I have to choose my battles, and having as little technological distraction from doing my Internet work on FE is my goal, while being able to work as a professional who works on Windows machines all day long. When my wife announced that she was going back to Apple, I told her that she was on her own, and needed to hire a geek for the problems she was going to encounter. I don’t have the time or interest for learning another operating system.

Give me $200 million dollars (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate) and no organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) (the big “if” :) ), and I’ll deliver the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and when we begin to put an ROI on it, the numbers boggle the mind (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion). That is going to take up the rest of my life’s “spare” time.

On that note, it looks like I am going to be forced into upgrading my machine to Windows 10, and the irony is not lost on me. I probably would have been forced into this even if I had not already converted to Windows 10. I installed Windows 7 clean, after my video card snafu, and now the machine is forcing me to install more than 200 updates, and it always fails, then has to uninstall the failed updates (almost all Windows 7 patches), and it now takes my machine an hour to boot up. I am going to leave my machine on 24/7 until I upgrade to Windows 10, living the Bill Gates nightmare (and it will likely force updates and reboots while I am away at work, and I can only hope that it is in the “up” cycle when I get home).

On a medical racket note, the meltdown of a rapacious “medical” company (http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/wall-street-financial-engineering-a-work-how-valeant-got-vaporized/) highlights the evil marriage of medicine and capitalism. I’ll make another “computers and me” post before I run off to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Back to backing up data. When I worked on my first Macintoshes, back in 1984, the data had to fit on a 400K floppy disk, which in itself was revolutionary for its time. I seem to recall having to switch disks, first loading the software off the floppy that it came off (each software package had its own floppy, and that is how I first heard of Microsoft, with its pretty disks), and then loading in a data disk to save to.

When I did nothing but crunch numbers on a DOS machine at that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) (and bought my Mac-Plus soon after beginning to work at that lab), I had a hard drive and those five-inch floppies to back up my data to. PC networks did not yet exist in corporate America, and when I worked at that trucking company, playing the tech (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1014655&viewfull=1#post1014655), I was the guy who usually backed up people’s machines, as I continually bought new machines (usually buying the new one for me, and then moving the machines, in a kind of daisy chain, to the other users, and when I left there, I had a 486 machine, most people had 386s, and we still had 286 machines that people worked on. My first PC, bought in late 1995, was one of the first Pentium machines, if not the first, which had Windows 95 on it. People trying to upgrade their 486 machines to Windows 95 had disasters, and a young geek kid did it at our office, and lost the entire drive, as I recall, and I think that he lost his data, not backing up before he tried it.

I have been a data hound from the beginning, and I believe that I got a tape backup for my first PC at home. It was a Colorado backup drive. Back then, there was not really any disk backup (other than using stacks of floppies, which I did in my early days), but tape. A disk backup was exorbitantly expensive. At that medical lab, I cannot recall the name right now, but to run their lab system, they spent millions of dollars buying a system that ran in duplicate. It was literally two systems that mirrored each other, so that the data was on a separate live computer. The system seamlessly failed over to the other system. It was a precursor to RAID arrays.

I was regularly trying to upgrade my machine at home, before I learned what a catastrophe it usually was, and back in 1997, when Dennis let me go home and I began to work full-time on what became my site as it stands today, the first essay I wrote was on Julian Simon’s The State of Humanity. The essay on my site today (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm) is but a shadow of the essay that I originally wrote. I spent months studying the work of Simon’s stable of corporate authors, such as Elizabeth Whelan (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whelan) and Bernard Cohen (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#nukes). After months of working on that essay, I read James Loewen’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms) Lies my Teacher Told Me, and he mentioned Simon’s work. As I recall, I emailed Loewen a draft of that essay.

I had a long way to go as a writer back then, but that essay was an early example of my multidisciplinary style. I received a letter back from him, and he advised me to not call other authors names. :) Just about as I received that letter, in September 1997 (I still have it, which I placed into that book), I was trying to upgrade some part of my two-year-old machine (actually, it was a little less than two years old, and now, with my memory jogged, I think that I bought PCs in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2005, and 2010 – or did I just buy another hard drive in 1997? I am not sure), and I foolishly had my hard drive out of its slot, toying with something, and my hard drive fried. Never fear, however – I had my tape backup! Until the restore would not work. It was the first of many incidents that I heard about, particularly from geek friends. Nobody knew of even one successful restore of a Colorado tape. It was like the entire company was a scam, giving geeks the world over a false sense of security, and when it came time to try to restore from the tape, it never worked. All I heard were tales like mine. Although it was exorbitantly expensive for its time, I only did disk backup ever since. I called Loewen in his office (Oh, those innocent days!), and asked him if he still had my email, and he didn’t, which was the only copy of that essay draft that I knew of, and I lost about an 80-page essay. What is on my site today is merely a shadow of that first essay (I went deep on Whelan, Cohen, and their soul-sold ilk, such as those Global Warming deniers (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#singer)), but did not have the heart to rewrite the essay, and instead wrote that essay on whaling, which was one of the detours that I took while studying Simon’s book.

I mentioned Singer and Brian when Brian was still alive (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=235504&viewfull=1#post235504), and wrote of Uncle Ed’s encounter with him (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=235662&viewfull=1#post235662), and now I am going to reveal that it was Singer who made Brian so angry (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold), in our eventful note-trading session back in 2001, and Brian was planning on confronting Singer, but I don’t know if he ever did.

Anyway, I learned hard lessons on backing up my data back then, and have been the backup hawk at all of my companies since the 1990s, and no company ever did it right, and most were high-tech companies. I am going to be doing a lot of writing on my professional career and how I designed systems and solved problems. It will have great relevance to my public writings, and my big essay will seem more like a natural outcome of my journey and proclivities.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

My background, I think, is pretty clear. I am a white, male, educated American man, a baby boomer who was raised during the human journey’s most prosperous era (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar). All of those labels are in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) designations: white, American, man, boomer, educated. After that voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) sent me into business studies, I was also indoctrinated into another in-group: capitalist. I began questioning my indoctrination when I left home. I was raised in a racist household (in history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism)) and raised with the idea that I would not quite be a man until I had been a soldier (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), but I was a pacifist by age 19, via my spiritual studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) (and became a vegetarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) the next year), put my racist upbringing behind me by my early 20s, and immediately upon college graduation, I began questioning my capitalist indoctrination (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing), began seeking out alternative media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) (I had a lot to learn! :) ), and then I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), which is when class really began. Four years later, my life was shattered and I was radicalized.

I was never a flag-waver or Bible-banger, so those in-group ideologies never had much of a grip on me, although I was forced to worship a flag when growing up (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag), and I attended Sunday school for a few years as a child. Soon after leaving my home town and never returning, I hit the books hard (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), trying to understand the world I experienced during my days with Dennis. I soon discovered Uncles Noam and Ed (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), encountered a fellow overgrown Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) in Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and the next year, I met Brian O (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet). Even I look back at my life sometimes and wonder if it all really happened. Everybody that I knew like me all had the same initial orientation: we all eagerly drank the Kool-Aid of our conditioning, and only woke up to the lies of our indoctrination when rudely disabused of them. Once you see through one set of lies, the others are easier to discern and discard, but I found that people had to have experiences that opened up their eyes, not some received teaching or literature review. The awakening experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) has to come, first, or the rest will not really matter. If people do not really care, they will never really wake up, as their immediate self-interest forms the limit of their awareness, trapping them in egocentric awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260).

It was not until reading some of Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), however, that the paradigm that I had been groping for over many years finally crystallized, and I was able to see what all of the in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) had in common: scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). The idea of love and abundance was literally outside of the realities of people trapped by their in-group conditioning, and it took many years of seeing the crazed reactions of denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) to the idea of FE (which is the only possible engine of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity)) that I finally created an organized way to view it (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart).

Capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism) may well be the most inefficient political-economic system ever concocted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), founded on the ideas of greed and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), but it has been elevated to a religion in the USA, and is a facet of materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), which is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4). As Fuller said, all political-economic ideologies and systems are concerned with who gets the largest slices of the scarce economic pie (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), and all of them are useless for making abundance happen. The Holy Grail of capitalism is profits (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit), and the path to profit is eliminating the competition. John Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) and Bill Gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates) became the world’s richest men by taking over a new industry, making it into a monopoly, and riding their monopoly position to record profits and wealth. That is the essence of capitalism.

The irony is not lost on me that after I write this post, I will be forced into upgrading to Windows 10, and I live across the street from Microsoft’s campus. I may well have gone to work for Microsoft back in 1986, but that voice in my head had other ideas for me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2). I can definitely envision strange events leading me to working for Microsoft before my career ends, and how ironic would that be?

By the early 1990s, I was radicalized and becoming hip very fast, and it was back then that I heard that the NSA had an office at Microsoft. I have assumed that I have been under constant surveillance since 1987, when I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit), and the Snowden revelations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden#Global_surveillance_disclosures) were no surprise to people like me.

I have long heard of Microsoft’s culture, and Gates and company turned it into a shark tank, with stack ranking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality_curve#Microsoft) and other practices that made its environment one where geniuses engaged in Machiavellian plotting against each other, and that is no environment to be creative in. I have been Microsoft’s customer/victim for more than 30 years, and I watched both the company’s trajectory and the evolution of its software. As a system designer, I was constantly appalled by their practices and products. Ever since I was forced into buying my first PC back in 1995, my attitude has been: if it is not stable and secure, the rest does not matter; and it is better to have a few great products than a bunch of mediocre ones. Microsoft has yet to learn those lessons, if it ever does. Steve Jobs knew those “secrets,” however, and that is what made Apple the company that it became. Jobs put himself in the consumer’s shoes, unlike Microsoft, which used its monopoly position to jam their stuff down their captive customers’ throats.

Microsoft officially did away with stack ranking, but they still do it, but stealthily. There was a scandal in the 1990s when Microsoft was discovered using prison labor to ship its products, and abusing its contractors, but it still engages in those practices today. That is a terrible environment for accomplishing anything creative, much less idealistic, but so it is, in a world of scarcity and fear.

Excel is more than 30 years old (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel#Versions), and just yesterday, I had it crash several times as I used it (I have used it for every day of my career since the 1990s), and some of the bugs that crash it have been around for more than a decade. You just know what the quirks are and avoid them if you can (but if you work in spreadsheets that were designed by people who do not understand Excel’s limitations, you are screwed, and that has been behind the nearly daily crashes that I have had to deal with this year). Back when it wiped out all competitors, in the 1990s, Microsoft’s Office programs had a bunch of mediocre features instead of fewer good ones, but that was the game it played in its “feature wars (http://www.pcworld.com/article/182020/Bing_vs_Google_Feature_Wars.html).” It was obvious that the customer would be the ultimate loser. Microsoft’s Office programs comprise its biggest cash cow (see its segment reporting in its SEC filings (Note 22 in its latest 10-K (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789019/000119312515272806/d918813d10k.htm#tx918813_12))), and its other primary revenue streams are server software and its PC operating systems. Their brightest hires go to the server business, the next go to the PC operating systems, and Office gets the rest (and I am not sure where Xbox ranks, but it is its least profitable segment, as it has competition there! :) ). Since nothing can really compete with Office, particularly in corporate America, it keeps on chugging.

Time for my forced “upgrade” to Windows 10! :)

Best,

Wade

[Ernie Nemeth]

Yes, I no longer use Office and I have no access to millions of bytes of data. If I want to peruse my own work, I must first pay Microsoft its premium.

Nasty, nasty business model - but also very effective given the world as it is. Microsoft alone has probably cost society at least 10% of its wealth in court battles, monopoly, and extremely high copyright costs. And that's just my uneducated estimate.

Of course capitalism in general and the fractional reserve lending practices of the large banks has cost the world overall many times that in real wealth.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I am taking a little break from writing about my relationships to computers, system design, and the like, and will write a little more on choosing one’s battles. Of course, the warfare analogy is not really my favorite, but it can help illuminate the dynamics. There are so many hours in a day and years in a life. I burned up my adult life on my FE quest, beginning when I met Dennis nearly 30 years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting). You can’t buy the kind of education that I got in my days with Dennis, and without that education, I truly would not have much worth saying. I can’t overemphasize the lessons of experience, which is why somebody has to have already been awakened somehow (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) for my work to begin to make sense.

I am constantly approached by people who think they have been awakened, but they really haven’t. In some ways, they began to think outside the confines of herd awareness, but they are invariably trapped in some scarcity-based framework, and I found that my work really cannot be understood by people who drag along their scarcity-based baggage, whether it is nationalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), conspiracism, structuralism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), socialism, organized religion, capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), environmentalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists), various New Age flavors (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), various other social movements, and so on. To one degree or another, those ideological frameworks are founded on scarcity and fear, and are only useful for creating another in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) (or another out-group, such as what conspiracists do, as they focus on the “bad guys”), as people are unwilling or unable to rise above social consciousness, which is pre-sentient (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). Combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), from truly sentient people, is the only chance that I see (Brian O and Bucky advocated it, and I see why), and I am trying it out.

Just as I wrote the preceding paragraph, my wife asked me to put gasoline in her car, and I just returned from the Chevron station. Chevron is the Rockefellers’ company, a rebranding of Standard Oil, and the Rockefellers were involved in wiping out Dennis more than once (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2), and their likely involvement in the events in Ventura helped wreck my life, but I buy my gasoline from them. This week, I mailed in my monthly check to the local power company, which was prominent in wiping out (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam) our Seattle effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle). I have heard from people, whom you might think were worldly, working at large aerospace companies, for instance, advising me to go off-grid, build an FE device in my garage and just run my home off of it. I reply that building a 747 in my backyard would be easier. I encounter that kind of naïveté and impracticality all the time. Part of why I invited Darren into my forum and had to badger him to write his introductory posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=126&viewfull=1) was so that he could show what it is like to go off-grid (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=126&viewfull=1#post126). He came to realize that it was not going to make a dent in the world’s energy situation. It is very good work to do something like that, and begin to realize where it really fits into the big picture.

If I spent my life going off-grid, growing all my food, bicycling instead of driving a car, becoming a fringe software enthusiast, and the like, I would simply have no time to do the work that has resulted in my site. I try to maintain my health by prevention, have been a vegetarian since the 1980s (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm) (eating nothing with a brain), shop at a food cooperative (http://ahealedplanet.net/links.htm#pcc) that tries fair trade, nothing in the store is tested on animals, etc., I refuse to work in the “defense” or land-raping industries (timber and mining), and other things that I can do, given the realities of my life, but I am fully aware that none of it means anything next to making FE happen. Nobody else on Earth is trying what I am, and I am devoting the rest of my life’s “spare” time to building that choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and I am fully aware that my task will be like hunting for needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and I am constantly approached by people with their “bright ideas” that are all variations of the paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that have been trod literally thousands of times, as the entire FE field is in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), and they are unwilling or unable to understand what I am doing, and try to learn to hit the notes.

I probably have another post or so, before it is back to computers and me.

Best,

Wade

To one degree or another, those ideological frameworks are founded on scarcity and fear

Hi Wade, In my journey I found that this saying may be true to all of us, as new in-depth understandings with regards to our reality is surfacing every day at a breakneck speed, especially when it comes to other participants who share our lives, and if we assume that we have a grasp on most of the picture already then we may found ourselves awakened to a quite uncomfortable surprise

Sometimes there is a need to dive deep into what may be considered by some as 'fear' and 'scarcity' in order to really understand how our world operates and to allow sufficient insights and solutions to arise and to take place. Such was your own journey. The trail of discovery does not end at any one point, there always seems to be a few more stops to the long-awaited station

Many blessings ~

Hi:

This morning, I read an article (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nasa-just-announced-important-discoveries-190038834.html) that confirmed my understanding of why Mars lost its atmosphere and water (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen). As I have written, somebody in my circles was offered a chance to help terraform Mars, so that the hyper-elites can use it as their ultimate survival enclave if Earth becomes uninhabitable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars). Scott recently seconded the notion (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3821-Making-Free-Energy-happen&p=18888&viewfull=1#post18888). Godzilla is crazy, but cooler heads may prevail.

Yes, Ernie, Microsoft prevailed like Standard Oil did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1). Both took over new industries, so did not have to battle the organized suppression of entrenched interests, but they quickly became the new entrenched interests. But preventing FE from happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and Rockefeller interests have definitely been involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2), is orders of magnitude greater than Microsoft’s sins. The software industry is still relatively young and innocent.

Hi Limor:

Yes, the learning never ends, but I also found that true awakening cannot happen from activities such as surfing the Internet and watching YouTube, but only through experience. People are not going to wake up via my work, for instance. When the unawakened encounter my work, especially people such as my peers, their heads usually explode a few pages into it (such as this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress)), and that is partly by design, to keep them out of places that are dangerous for their frame of mind. People embracing work like mine can put their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) status in jeopardy if they try to evangelize to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and it has been very sad to witness FE newbies rushing off and ruining their lives, having absolutely no idea what they are getting into.

People visit me from all over the world, and my wife has finally put her foot down on it, and that is partly because, almost invariably, such people who arrive are naïve. They challenge me on Dennis’s billion dollar bribe (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), because they cannot imagine such a thing, think that Godzilla can be snuck past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), that we can build FE devices for public use in our garages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate), think that their social circles will wake up to the FE message (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), that the inventor of the hour (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) has the magic answer, think that some New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) approach will work, think that they know how to enlist the help of “progressive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2)” organizations, and so on, and my wife is tired of seeing the effect that it has on me. And these are people who come vast distances to meet me. It is far worse with the Internet-surfing public, even when they are not trolling (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), which is why I am not that easy to interact with publicly. No such approaches have a snowball’s chance, but I am constantly bombarded by them, as FE newbies spout their bright ideas, like those 18-year-old men eagerly awaiting their first battle (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business).



To all, in general, I encourage people who are strong enough to explore the dark underbelly of our world, so that they can understand what darkness is, but they have to have been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), hopefully mystically if nothing else, so that they have internal anchoring and the process does not send them over the edge, into conspiracist paranoia (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), for instance. In today’s world, the masses call the darkness the light. In my great nation recently, a genocidist was literally named a saint (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1002395&viewfull=1#post1002395). That is calling the darkness the light. Mass murdering thieves become national heroes, etc.  People in thrall to that darkness, while calling it the light, cannot help with what I am doing. 

In short, we can’t use scarcity and fear to get to love and abundance, and it took me many years to finally understand what I was seeing (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).

My work is about what might work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked), not doggedly trying the same old paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), in the million flavors and colors that exist. 

It is good work to recognize scarcity and fear, and if people want go deep on it, and I have, as my work makes clear, then have at it, with my blessings, but calling scarcity and fear love and abundance is where the problems come in.  It is like Walsch’s God said, that if people are heading toward San Jose and think that they are heading toward Texas, then they have a problem. 

When people drag their baggage of scarcity along, thinking that in that bag is the secret of abundance, they have some major delusions to shed, and the only people who can help with what I am doing have either shed that baggage, or realize that it is baggage, otherwise, if they get involved with what I am doing, they are just going to drag it down where all the other efforts ended up, if they survive the experience.  That is why I am being so picky on who can join my forum, for instance. The FE milieu is not the place to try to shed one’s delusions. I barely survived the experience and do not recommend it to anybody, unless they want to consider their lives forfeit before they begin, and almost nobody can honestly do that. Many talk a good game, but on the FE battlefield, hardly anybody lasts more than a few minutes. I carried the spears of the best of the best (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), but am finished with that phase of my life.

I have seen it in many walks of life, where people engage in high-risk behavior while denying that it is. That orientation can be suicidal, especially in the FE milieu.  I have no interest in watching a bunch of people immolating themselves (and dragging others into the fire with them), thinking that they are saving the day. 

Back when I was with Dennis, I saw how people put figurative shotguns in their mouths, announcing that they were going to pull off some clever move, and wanted an audience for their “feat.”  I was puzzled, and after witnessing people putting shotguns in their mouths with such elan and aplomb many times, I asked Dennis about it. How could people put shotguns in their mouths and think that they had just made the world’s smartest move? Dennis replied that people have developed a grace for doing that. They kill themselves, while trying to look good doing it, and it all looks great, at least until they pull the trigger.

For FE and abundance, the masses are only going to begin to wake up when FE is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It is just what it is, and judging them in their unawakened state (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) is unproductive and a trap. It has been like this before all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and especially this biggest one of all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), which is really a super-Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), similar to how the Cambrian Explosion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem) initiated the eon of complex life. With FE, humanity will become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), and that is the greatest transition that an ensouled species will ever make (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3). This is big stuff, to put it mildly, and all of those Third and Fourth Epoch approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) are absolutely useless for trying to make it happen. That is one of the central points of my work, which I learned the hard way.

Hi:

Back to choosing one’s battles. Brian O was quite the globetrotter, from his college days of going to Europe and climbing the Matterhorn (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early) to being an astronaut to being on the campaign trial with Mo Udall (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) to being an Ivy League vagabond (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after) to traveling the world visiting FE labs (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers), and so on. Few spent more time and effort to heal this planet than Brian did. Brian felt guilty just putting gasoline in his car, yet vast amounts of jet fuel were burned, winging him around the world. There are environmentalists who would have frowned on Brian’s travels, as energy-profligate as they were. Would Brian have done more for the world if he had stayed in one town and only rode a bicycle for his transportation? This is not pure rhetoric, as one of Brian’s biggest supporters once publicly attacked Brian because of his travels, stating that Brian said that he was trying to solve the world’s energy woes while wasting great amounts of energy traveling the world. Does a critique like that make sense? Brian, being the great man that he was, shrugged off his colleague’s criticisms, realizing that he attacked Brian from a sense of his own inadequacy, and Brian forgave him.

But that incident brings up that issue of choosing one’s battles. We do not live in a world today where we can have no environmental impact, where we do not burn up Earth’s scarce energy resources, both in life forms and fossil fuels. Even so-called “green” energies really aren’t, as Ilie recently pointed out (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/74-A-tale-of-Energy-Living-Off-the-Grid?p=129&viewfull=1#post129). There are no harmless and abundant energy practices on Earth today, other than what is happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) behind Godzilla’s closed doors. But we don’t get any while we collectively sleep.

Not long ago, Limor asked if living without air conditioning in the broiling Israeli summer could help the energy situation. My reply was not much. She did not have to suffer to think that she was making a dent. It was a dent, but an unnoticeable one, other than people noticing how exhausted Limor seemed, as she spent her days sweltering.

I think it is helpful to be mindful of all of our practices and the costs paid to engage in them. I suggested an exercise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagineenergy) in my big essay on that score, and that is very good work. Personally, I don’t feel guilty when putting gasoline in my car, but I realize that I am a beneficiary of an evil system that slaughters millions of people (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) to keep the cheap oil flowing (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), and I think about it as I fill my gas tank. Beneficiaries of systems have a responsibility for how those systems operate (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#responsibility), no matter how much they may deny that responsibility.

When people have a life review after they die (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife), they get to feel the impact of every action of their lives on their world, including what all life forms thought and felt. That is a key part of the soul’s learning experience. Each one of us has to face our conscience, and those without consciences are on the highway to hell (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell).

The best that I knew (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) always wondered if they could have done more, as their conscience continually nagged them. There can come a point where you know that you did your best, and leave it at that. I have largely come to that station of my life (with monstrous crises along the way (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife)), but it does not mean that I am finished. I plan to spend the rest of my life’s “spare” time building that choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and if it helps catalyze the appearance of FE, it will be mission accomplished for me in this lifetime. That will be plenty for one man to do, and I would have been happy just carrying spears, if it was not such a bloody journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey).

Of course, a trap for the ego is to think one is doing “good work” and justifying abuses as being “for the cause.” As Seth said, nobody is more cruel than the self-righteous, so being part of any “cause” requires vigilance. Since before I met Dennis, Seth’s statement of being a practical idealist (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist) (the means become the ends) has been one of the stars that I steered by, and my journey drove home the truth of that idea.

Each one of us faces the decisions of living each day, and we are accountable to ourselves for those decisions and actions in ways that can be hard to comprehend. Nobody “gets away” with anything, and judging others (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) for their place on their journey is counterproductive, even judging Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc). That does not mean that we just sit back and enjoy the ride to oblivion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) that humanity is on today, but we all get to experience the ramifications of our actions, or lack of them. Judgment Day is every day, but we are the judges of ourselves. Nobody else is fit to. It will be back to computers and me soon, and I’ll have a little time to write this weekend.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

It's been a while since I've posted here, but I've been lurking here occasionally and reading posts. I am trying to organize my schedule more properly now so that I can get back to posting here in the near future since I do have some thoughts to post in here right now. They piled up across the period of my absence so I still have to organize my thoughts. I am also currently trying to sort myself out amidst my contemporary physical health problems alongside a spiritual journey of sorts that was triggered by these problems as well as my own struggles in the current training phase in my new job. That's all for now. :)

Thanks,

SL

Be well, SL. Take your time.

Hi:

Back to computers and me. It took me many years to understand that my systems orientation was really the same one that enables comprehensive thinking. It took many years before I realized what a freak I was. I eventually learned that accountants can use and run accounting systems, but not many can design them. It is probably along the lines of that 1-2% of engineers who really have any creative talent. Both professions can crank out product, but the kind of mental horsepower devoted to their labors is pretty limited, and is not much different from quantum physicists cranking out Schrödinger’s equation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation), with little understanding of the bigger picture, a picture that the professors skipped over in class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#skipped).

I’ll provide an example from my recent career. The Holy Grail of capitalism is profits (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit), but unless those profits can be turned into cash, they don’t mean much, to a capitalist. I have produced SEC filings for more than ten years of my career, and if I was an investor, I would throw almost the entire 10-K away, and the cash generated by operations would be about all that I cared about. For Apple’s latest 10-K, its cash generated by operations was more than $80 billion for the year, as you can see in the first section of their cash flow statement (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000119312515356351/d17062d10k.htm#toc17062_29). But I have yet to see an accounting system that provides cash flow information. They produce balance sheets (a statement of the business’s assets, liabilities, and equity) and income statements, but cash flow is not provided, because it takes a level of manipulation that accounting systems do not provide. Accounting systems also are used to pay bills, collect from customers, and manage the cash, but their systems never created cash flow information, largely because of the complexity of the systems.

When I was at that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), I created the first cash flow statement that they ever had, and showed that the business was generating about $20 million per year, which surprised the owner. For small businesses, income statements and balance sheets are meaningless, and all matters is how much cash they have. At my previous job, I inherited the cash flow statement, and at that high-tech company, it was nightmare to gain awareness of what all was happening, in order to know what to look for for the cash flow statement. Almost immediately after starting, I designed a report to give me the information needed for the cash flow statement. It had to combine information from different modules (at least two in the payables system, and one in the general ledger system), in order to track all the money coming in and out of the company, and what it was for. It took my systems analyst more than a year to finally deliver that report to me, it was probably the most complex one she ever made, but when it was delivered, it was a gold mine of information. If used properly, you could not miss unusual cash transactions. During those 18 months after I designed the report and it was delivered, I missed an unusual receipt of more than $1 million, which meant that my operating cash flow, that most important number in the document, IMO, was wrong by more than $1 million. That was significant.

Without that report that I designed, the person preparing the cash flow report was pretty much reduced to walking into the CFO’s office, and other executives’, asking if any money came in or went out for anything big and unusual. What a stupid way to do it, but because the accounting system did not produce information like that, that is what accountants across the USA are reduced to, unless they had a report like mine.

After getting that report, it only had to be scanned for a few minutes, and anybody with much controller experience knew what accounts were the ones where the strange cash transactions would be found. In five minutes, I had certainty over my cash flow statement, knowing that I did not miss anything big. Otherwise, you just prayed.

Eventually, I had assistants, and I trained them how to use that report, but early on, they decided that that five-minute scan was too much work, so they filtered out everything but the largest transactions and could “do it” in seconds, but since the biggest transactions were mere bank transfers, they were defeating the entire purpose of the report. As I reviewed their work, what they did was odd, and I did not realize that short-cut method they were taking, and we missed a $4 million item, for the first error like in the report in several years. My CFO caught the audit committee chair on a good day, so heads did not roll, but I sat my assistant and the person she trained on what happened and how to do a proper review, and my assistant did not really even understand, wondering why she should spend five minutes looking like I showed her. Her “method” took mere seconds. And she was smart. The person she trained was even smarter, maybe even smarter than me, but a couple of years later, I caught her doing the short-cut method and missing a several million dollar cash item.

To this day, I shake my head, and try to understand why they could not understand that I developed a tool that was unique, to my knowledge, and properly used made the cash flow statement process bulletproof, but they did not want to spend five minutes, so they “designed” the easy way out, and jeopardized both their careers and mine. I think that is called pennywise and pound-foolish, but in that instance, it was ton-foolish.

I think that their incomprehension was due to a few factors, one of which was that they never had to do it the hard way. I had produced something worth its weight in gold, but they just saw it as a hassle, and they “improved” things by cherry-picking numbers that saved them five minutes but ruined the entire process. Nothing else meant anything, if they missed those multi-million dollar unusual transactions. Part of it was laziness, part of it was inexperience, and part of it was tunnel-vision and failing to see the bigger picture.

That little vignette is an allegory for the many ways that humanity is rushing toward the abyss, oblivious of where we are heading (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and fast. Again, $200 million for the permanent solution to humanity’s biggest issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate), and almost nobody knows or cares. The people I seek need to understand both the details and the bigger picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists). That is what comprehensive thinking is all about, and what those in the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) have to achieve, if my effort is going to make a dent.

Time for chores.

Wade

$200,000,000 to change the world into a utopia!

And America spent ten times that on implementing Obamacare, an arguably inefficient and very expensive health care system.

Meanwhile, the ramifications of an economy driven by FE would render most illness obsolete - an under-reported part of the FE spectrum of innovation.

Ten times the money spent on a project with but the slightest portion of the actual scope that FE would deliver for 10% the cost.

Stupid, wasteful and apropos for this reality.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Ernie:

You are understating it. The net Obamacare cost is $1.3 trillion over a decade (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2927348/Obamacare-program-costs-50-000-American-gets-health-insurance-says-bombshell-budget-report.html), or $130 billion for an average year. That is 650 times $200 million, and a decade of Obamacare could pay for FE 6,500 times over. It is surreal. Heck, $200 million is a drop in the bucket compared to many totally worthless items. Americans spend 350 times the amount, each year, that it would take to make FE happen, on lottery tickets (http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/11/news/companies/lottery-spending/index.html). Numbers like that are beyond surreal and bring up Brian O’s question if humanity is really a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). Godzilla has spent at least a thousand times as much suppressing FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#payoff) as it would take to develop it, and he developed it to a commercial level before I was born (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).

Pondering the situation in those ways can literally make people insane, and is one of the hazards of the FE path.

I have long stated that if one percent of the attention that Americans spend watching sporting events and soap operas was instead devoted to studying my big essay, for instance, we would have had FE long ago. But the masses are fast asleep, praying for their lottery numbers to come up, while the social managers keep the herd pliable with bread and circuses, as we rush to the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

Time for chores.

Hi:

These days, I pretty regularly read about NASA planning a manned mission to Mars, and they just announced a call for astronauts for Mars (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/be-an-astronaut-nasa-seeks-explorers-for-future-space-missions), which was a lead article at Yahoo! (https://www.yahoo.com/tech/this-week-in-space-help-wanted-on-bone-dry-mars-204819725.html) just now. I have yet to see, in all the articles that have bombarded me in recent years, any mention of the first man that NASA asked to go to Mars (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#mars). If Brian had ever been mentioned even once, in this avalanche of Mars publicity, we might be well on our way to making FE happen. When I wrote Brian’s NASA biography (http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/oleary-bt.html), I was very careful about his Martian credentials (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars), as it is his unique distinction. But I have yet to see any mainstream discussion of him, and soon after NASA published Brian’s bio, a noted space “skeptic” tried to debunk Brian’s Martian credentials (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&highlight=debunk#post913180).

Hi:

While writing the previous post, I looked to see what I had written about my saga of publishing Brian’s NASA bio (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&viewfull=1#post267098), and I am going to do something that I do not often do, and serve up another name. I could spend all day naming names, often very famous ones, who were somehow involved in my adventures, but naming names can create a bunch of trouble. People such as Gary Wean (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean) named names, and some of those names wrecked his life and tried to kill him. Some names might try to harm me, those around me, or bystanders, if I named them, and naming them could harm them, too, and I do not wish anybody any harm, even Godzilla.

I generally only name names when the person named will not suffer any harm or hassle by it (usually after they are dead), or others might suffer harm, and this is one of those safe names, as he was a good guy and no longer works for NASA, but first, a little color. I wrote the most thorough public account a week before Brian died (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&viewfull=1#post267098), somewhat ironically.

After banging for months on the very door from which the public almost instantly received a reply for why Brian did not have a bio on NASA’s site, and all that I received was silence, I eventually used a colleague from Brian’s astronaut days and contacted the astronaut corps directly. A week later, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply, and that person assigned to work with me on Brian’s bio was Chris Ferguson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Ferguson), and I did not realize who he was until I had been through a couple of rounds of editing with him. The last thing that I expected was that the most famous active astronaut would be assigned to work with me. Chris piloted the last space shuttle flight and quit NASA soon afterward, and is helping design the next generation of manned spacecraft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Ferguson#Post-NASA_career). If Chris only knew what was in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). :) I really think that Chris was unaware that Brian did not have a bio on NASA’s site, and that may have been true of the astronaut corps as a whole. It was NASA’s bureaucratic arm that played the games with Brian’s bio. Chris thanked me for making the astronaut corps aware of the issue.

With the public profile that I have, it is sometimes amazing who contacts me, and one correspondent worked in Mission Control a generation after my father did (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary). In addition to going up three times and piloting the space shuttle, Chris was also the CAPCOM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Ferguson#NASA_career) for three shuttle missions. The CAPCOM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller#Capsule_Communicator_.28CAPCOM.29) was always an astronaut, and that recent correspondent said that when planning missions at Mission Control, the CAPCOM was usually the most humble person in the room, as everybody else tried to play the alpha dog. Chris was also like that, very unassuming, and he was ultimately very nice to me. Sometimes, the good guys really do rise to the top. I don’t get to write posts like this very often, but I like to. :)

Time for chores.

Hi:

Back to computers and me. I crunch numbers for a living, I aced calculus in college, and if I had nothing but time and money, I would like to resume my math studies, but numbers are not real. They are symbols, an abstraction of reality. One of humanity’s greatest foibles is mistaking symbols for reality. It probably has to do with getting the hang of becoming sentient. Words on a page are not reality, but symbols, which is a primary reason why I say that people have to have been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) by their experiences somehow, for work like mine to begin to make sense, as it is so far beyond the daily reality of the masses, brainwashed by the social managers and their boxed-in lives. The human imagination is a powerful tool, used properly, but it can also be greatly abused, and the social managers carefully manage and stunt it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#indoctrination2), to serve elite agendas. As I have stated for many years, Godzilla’s greatest triumph (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#smallgroup) is making FE and what can come with it unimaginable, and if people get a glimpse of it, they react with fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) and denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1). Not until they can experience the reality of FE and abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) will they begin to awaken. It was like that for all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), so this is not exactly an original understanding, but the framework that I developed to understand why the masses are unable to imagine the next epoch, is.

When you crunch numbers for a living, you get a real-world appreciation for what they mean, what their limitations are, how they can be abused, etc. Similarly, I have a 2,000-volume library and my site is 2,000 pages of text that it took several years of my life to produce. Books and words on a page have their limitations, and should not be mistaken for reality. Literalism still plagues humanity, and not just religious fundamentalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales), but scholars such as Velikovsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) and Sitchin (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#muhammad) literally interpreted ancient texts to support fanciful scenarios.

That literalism also plays out in science, as scientists become enamored with the math behind a hypothesis, thinking that their math depicts reality. Einstein noted that the more impressive and elegant the math, the less likely the math depicted reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#math1), and he tried to work without math as much as he could. Einstein and Schrodinger were unhappy with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#copenhagen), in which the equations made accurate predictions but did not explain what was happening.

Accounting is as old as civilization, and all of the first writings were elite accounting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing) and tales that aggrandized the elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity). Cooking the books is one of civilization’s earliest art forms, which continues to this day. The crazed money printing (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming) that the world’s central banks are engaging in today is nothing more than accounting wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_war#Competitive_devaluation_after_2009). Wall Street is cooking the books today, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron). It is going to all come crashing down, and soon, and maybe this next time, it won’t all be washed away by money printing, which further enriches the rich while it screws the middle class and poor.

It has been very ironic for me to live my life as an accountant, crunching numbers, playing the money game, while also realizing that it is largely a huge illusion that will vanish in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), as slavery and the subjugation of women vanished in the Fourth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). Elites will vanish, too (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and they know it, which is why they have been so ardent in preventing the Fifth Epoch from manifesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and humanity has obliged them. It won’t take many to pierce the paradigm and bring FE to the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but they have to be as sentient as we can get, and have a rare level of integrity. Not so rare as Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) and Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after), but they will be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle).

Computers are nothing more than thinking machines, running on number-crunching. They are powerful tools, if properly used, and I spend most of my waking hours staring at computer screens. I have designed information systems in making a living (more on that is coming), and I am continually amazed at how poorly systems can be designed, and the worst crime of all is making systems more “efficient” but exponentially increasing the risk of failure. My little cash flow vignette (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1017408&viewfull=1#post1017408) is one example of that blinkered mentality, and I see it all the time, in all walks of life. So it is, in a world of scarcity and humanity’s inability or unwillingness to see the big picture, where the limit of their immediate self-interest is the horizon of their awareness. And there are insidious feedback effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gaia), where people batting for survival in a world of scarcity and fear are virtually incapable of seeing past their immediate self-interest, which is why the transformative effects of the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can be so profound, as economic desperation becomes a relic of the Eon of Scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive). That is also a reason why I doubt that many peoples of the poor nations are going be much help with building my choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Hi:

Now that I named Chris (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1017493&viewfull=1#post1017493), readers may notice that when I wrote that most thorough account of the saga of getting Brian’s NASA bio published (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=267098&viewfull=1#post267098), what triggered that post was Chris’s landing the last space shuttle flight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-135). Brian died a week later, and I informed Chris of Brian’s death, Chris called Brian's death “sad news,” and he notified NASA to update Brian’s bio, for what will likely be the last time. NASA got the date wrong, as Brian died in the wee hours of July 29th, not July 28th, but I am not going to fight that battle. The NASA biography will likely be Brian’s “official” date of death forever.

I also got into programming in the mid eighties. I first considered the problem from a mathematical perspective. I then chose a problem to solve. I chose to assemble a mathematical logic structure to calculate the day of the week for any date. This took some research and some calculations. I realized that the system has a twenty-eight year cycle. A bit of algebra solved that part. Then I had to consider the messing with the calendar that occurred a few times in history. By the time I had the logic tree ready, I figured it was time to buy a computer. I bought an Apple IIC for $2,000.

The IIC had 64K of memory and 128k RAM. The OS could only handle 64K, so to use the other 64K took a bit of wizardry. It took a long time to work out the bugs, maybe weeks, but I finally had a working program that accurately output the day of the week for any date.

From there I tackled some more useful programs (there were no programs back then - not one). I designed a small budget program and a spreedsheet program. Then I started on a word processor. That was beyond my interest, though, because I would have had to go deep into assembler language and I didn't want to go that route. My goal was to see if I understood the fundamentals of programming, not the fundamentals of computer hardware. So assembler and compiler were out of my scope.

I instead focused on constructing a kind of dungeon, find the treasure, type game. That was a lot of fun. It took many months but I got it working. The maze had over a hundred different rooms with all kinds of surprises. No graphics, though, only words.

Then I tackled graphics. Back then Apple had created AppleSoft, a basic computer language and there were some rudimentary graphic commands in there. But they were cumbersome and slowed the graphics down far too much (I forget but the clock speed was abysmal) so I rewrote the commands to speed them up. By the time I made my successful version of "Stop, Thief!" I considered myself a seasoned veteran at basic design and troubleshooting.

Even way back then I realized the value of saving the generic sub-routines so I wouldn't have to continually write them for every program. Mostly I had various sub-routines for user input and display. But I also had a few tabulators and variable goto statement subroutines that I pretty much used everywhere. This is the area you and SL talk about, I think. Open Source Code that can be assembled into programs without having to start from scratch to do what practically every program has to do: Compile and manage data, interface with user, retrieve data. Huge savings could be realized if proprietary programs were open source, so that redundancy could be eliminated, not to mention the added benefit of more stable, reliable and speedier programs. The instability of programs today is caused in large part by the need to make them unreadable and secure, so that they cannot be copied or altered without authorization.

I satisfied myself that I understood the concept of computer programming, which was my goal. About three years later I also bought my first PC. I never programmed again - except recently some macros for gaming.

I remember one of my friends taking the Microsoft course. He had to buy these four tomes (textbooks, supposedly) that cost $200 each. The course cost him thousands as well. In it, Microsoft tried to teach the idiocy of their design to computer newbies. It is all protocols and syntax, procedures and designations - no mathematics, no logic, no structure. He quit after three months.

Another friend went to university for four years and came out with two diplomas (or whatever you call them): computer programming and system analysis. I had to couch him through that program or he would not have made it through. But again, by the time he came out of school he had never assembled a computer or written even one full program. As a matter of fact he would have been hard pressed to write a worthwhile program of any kind. This was more a reflection of the poor schooling he received than it is a testament to his lack of intelligence. If I lead him along he could write any program you needed but he couldn't do it on his own because he had not been taught to. He came out of school and was offered a job at $12/hr. He refused and twenty years later he has never worked in his field - he drives truck instead...

Voice interface would be something else to comment on. It holds such great potential if programs were open source. It is far easier to talk to a computer than to write the programs each time you need something done. I would have gone on with programming in voice interface mode but IBM's ViaVoice soured me on the whole idea. I was on the phone with them in Northern Scotland (?) for weeks but they could never get their program to work for me - they never did give me my money back either.

Just a quick bit of math and I'd guess I've spent well in excess of $25,000 on computers and accessories in my life so far. How much of that could I have saved if just Microsoft would have played fairly? What if all code was open source? How much of my time has been wasted trying to figure out what went wrong this time with the computer, on hold on the phone listening to elevator music, or watching the loading percentage creep toward 100...

Hi Ernie:

That was FK (Freeknowledge), not SL (Servant Limestone) who has been discussing open-sourcing. :) I have not asked my buddy who has been a programmer for 50 years what his first programming tools were in the 1960s, but it was probably what I used at the university in my BASIC class: punch cards. IMB stopped maintaining the university’s punch card readers long before the class I took in 1979 (I took a COBOL class in 1978, but it was writing the code on a consol to a system at the college), and the university’s were maintained by the students. The programming professors did not even have degrees in programming in those days, it was all so new.

What you are describing, of how Microsoft only teaches its method of coding, and not the basics of programming anything, is endemic across all professions and industries, to one degree or another. They train people to be monkeys, not thinkers.

The issue of open-source versus proprietary for software is merely the latest iteration of scarcity at work. Keeping information secret, in order to get the upper hand on the competition, predates civilization, as tribes kept coveted resources secret from their neighbors if they could. In recent years, we have seen the Napster affair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napster#Legal_challenges), my former company bought millions of dollars worth of copyrights from the record labels, and they ended up squeezing us out and then suing us for millions more. Making money from litigation is literally part of the business model of the record labels. The late-19th century saw the proprietary medicine craze (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary), with “secret sauce” ingredients, which is how the biomedical empires that dominate today got their start.

Nowhere is that issue more important than with FE, and FE inventors who patent their gizmos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent) are lambs being led to slaughter, and those who play the proprietary technology game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary) are only slightly less foolish. I have yet to hear of an FE inventor with the goods being willing to open-source his invention, but it is the only path with a prayer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), IMO. The principles by which FE and antigravity technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) operate under make the physics texts into doorstops.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

One last thought, which I will get to in more detail in coming posts, is that FE and abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will collapse capitalism from the inside. It will be like giving everybody a billion dollars, and all of the scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and institutions will become obsolete, and people are not going to prostitute their creative talents in order to eat, to try to parlay them into riches and fame, etc. That is going to all go away, and humanity will take leaps to technologies that would seem like magic to people today (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). And nothing is going to be secret, nothing is going to be patented or copyright protected, etc.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

I can put exploring Linux again on my geek list of things to do, Freeknowledge, and you are pointing out the “inefficiencies” of capitalism,
in the software industry, but the issues really are trifling, compared to other industries/professions.


I would not call an order of magnitude improvement “inefficiencies”. Most people are unable to see beyond what is in front of their eyes, and think of software as if it were a physical industrial object, instead of thinking of software as intelligence that is changeable to meet their wishes.

The biggest problem with non-free software is not inefficiency of capitalism, it is the lack of freedom of end consumers to fix the problems that they encounter when using software. And therefore slowing down innovation. I have written elsewhere about user innovation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=989086&viewfull=1#post989086)

I reread your essay on Trucking, it is no wonder to me that both I and Stallman reacted positively to it.

You mentioned "For the huge companies, what I developed may not have been news” then why is it that the software that your company used did have all the features builtin, and why were the modules not updated for 10 years? I will say it is because the code was not free and therefore you could not improve it and not even see whether it was an improvement over your old software. In Stallman’s words you did not have the “Freedom to Study and Modify” the software.

In a different collaborative world, with free software and conducive business/social environment. Kids of truck drivers going to high school, collectively have enough ability to write all the software need for your vision.

In my thinking Free Software is way bigger your trucking vision, because I see your vision as one instance of how machine intelligence can make lives better. Free Software/Knowledge is not an end on its own but a means to the end of raising our collective consciousness and behavior collaboratively by sharing reproducible intelligence that we create together.



Millions of people do not die agonizing and lucrative deaths

6 million kids infants will die this year out of this 5 million is avoidable deaths. At least half of that number is because the parents are illiterate. Of the 1.8 billion count for death toll in India at least of the half toll is explained by the British stopping Indians from becoming literate. Knowledge and the spread of it is not a small issue. Recently I went to a talk by Dalit Women of India touring the US, in their opening statement they lamented that they were “denied access to knowledge"
As an aside the death toll in China from start of opium wars in 1840 to independence around 1950 is at least half a billion and could be as high as a billion or more (although I suspect less than 1.8 billion that Gideon Polya estimates for India)


Nobody tried to murder Stallman

There is no point in murdering Stallman because like your choir, there are too many people making small contributions so there is no choke point. In fact most people writing free software call it open source and think that his ideas and philosophy are crazy, he became a marginal player by late 1990’s if not earlier. not because he is unimportant, but because the ball he set rolling became so much bigger than him and became mainstream, and came to be known as open source.


I fully understand that FE is a million times more important that free software/knowledge. But that is no reason to handicap yourself with Microsoft. You already use Free Software to run your website as does Avalon. Linux is not the right tool for your professional life/work.
I suggest using both Linux and Microsoft, Linux as much as you can and Microsoft when you need it. These days Linux is easy to use, so you should not have trouble using it for FE advocacy and interaction with public. If you continue using Windows for FE advocacy I estimate that you will spend more time fixing crap from Microsoft than the time spent to switch.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Freeknowledge, when you mention freedom to change and fix software, it is really no different from the medical racket and being “forced” to use their treatments (and all else being wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#free)). One of the USA’s Founding Fathers warned against such a racket forming (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rush). Millions of people in the USA have been sentenced to death (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#system) to keep that racket intact. Millions of people sleeping in their trucks is trivial compared to that, or billions of people using inferior software. Creating captive consumers is the entire point of capitalism, and I don’t care if the mechanism is proprietary code, proprietary ingredient (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary) “medicines,” being forced to use the electric and oil companies, etc. In all areas, the person is forbidden from DIY, and forced into becoming a consumer for the monopoly. Of course, with all such areas, with great effort and privation, alternatives can be pursued, but it is usually so great a hassle that nobody does it, if they are even aware of it. Of course, humanity being forced into its awesomely destructive energy practices (because all alternatives of significance were wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1)) makes everything else pale to insignificance.

On my trucking company’s software, what do you mean the code was secret? How do you think that I designed those hundreds of program changes? We heavily modified the software, but the downside of that was that when we migrated to the new version ten years later, we lost all of our mods, and it took a year to build them back in, and that was really the final blow for me at that job, and I stepped down. Dennis finally coaxed me into coming to work for him again about then, but that experience was like a bad dream, and I nearly went to prison for my trouble (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting).

Again, my CTO wanted to go into business with me, modernizing trucking companies, taking them paperless, etc., but both presidents that I worked for openly said that they did not need computers to run the company. That is the kind of cave men that ran trucking companies in those days, and it was endemic in the industry, and more than anything else, that is why that trucking company software was so poor. Sure, the companies could modify it, but then they were in DIY land, on their own, if they broke the system. I was always very careful to not modify the guts of the system, as poorly as it was designed (such as no timestamp on the records, believe it or not), or else I could have broken the system, and we would have quickly gone out of business.

How could you sell a company to come in, redesign their systems to go paperless and cut their administrative workload in half, when management did not think that they needed computers in the first place? This opens up a big subject, such as technology standards and everybody thinking that they have a better way, when they are just trying to enlarge their market share.

I heartily agree that keeping people from access to knowledge is how the rackets work. Keeping FE sequestered like it is, and keeping the theory on the fringes, with many FE theorists and inventors vying for supremacy, is part of how Godzilla keeps the lid on it. You keep referring to the free software movement as a guerilla movement, well, that is not going to happen for FE. You need a higher level of professionalism than a bunch of tinkerers working alone in their garages. No technology for public consumption was ever developed in a garage. Software really does not count.

Slaves needed to be illiterate in order for the system to work, so antebellum slaves were kept illiterate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slavebreeding) or the only book they were allowed to read justified slavery (the Bible), and yes, keeping imperial subjects illiterate is definitely part of the plan. Freeknowledge, you realize, don’t you, that your passion is making peasants literate, trying to bring Third Epoch peoples into the Fourth Epoch? That is noble work, and understandable, given your background, but my work is about something else entirely, making the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) happen, and peasants are not going to help with that, even literate ones. They will be its biggest beneficiaries, but they are not going to help much, if at all. People in the Fourth Epoch cannot even begin to imagine the Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#smallgroup), and those in the Third Epoch, aspiring to the Fourth, are light years from being able to imagine the Fifth. Without industrial levels of energy to use, those people are going to remain peasants, if literate ones. Without the opportunity to use that literacy, it is an uphill battle, and Ilie’s observation that all of the kids in his village dropped out to go work on the farm (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/75-Ilie-Pandia-s-introductory-posts?p=131&viewfull=1#post131), as an education was not going to help them milk the cows, is a classic comment on education and opportunity.

My father grew up on a farm and was the son of homesteaders (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), and their Quaker background (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname) meant that they were into literacy, and my father’s genius-level IQ and coming of age during history’s most prosperous era (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) meant that he helped put men on the moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary). From living in a sod hut to going to the moon in one lifetime. Tales like that lead me to believe that humanity is going to adapt to abundance fairly easily, even the currently illiterate. Realistically, the people who will adapt the best are those who will be born into it. The adaptations to scarcity that people undergo leave them unable to even imagine abundance. It took me many years to finally understand.

I will be using Microsoft for the remainder of my professional career, and until my video card failed, my system at home was perfectly stable for five years. If I don’t have any more hardware failures, I expect that I won’t have to fiddle with my operating system for another five years. In the room next to mine, my wife has an Apple machine, and I refuse to learn that operating system so I can be her tech. She had a call with Apple just last week, and they took over her machine remotely and fixed her problems (that she got from surfing the Internet and picking up malware), and I am very happy that I don’t have to learn that operating system, and my aversion to learning Linux is greater. I don’t want to use one system at work and another at home. I have played the geek for too many years, and for all of its limitations, Microsoft’s stuff is vastly more stable than it used to be. I don’t want to spend my limited time learning another operating system. Man, operating systems should be invisible and meaningless! The applications should be what people like me think about, not the operating systems. All of these operating system controversies reflect just how primitive software still is. All of it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Back to computers and me. I have written many times on the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) reactions that I and my fellow travelers have received over the decades of our FE activism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), so I won’t belabor it, but one of the most common fear reactions that I have seen with FE and its attendant technologies, such as antigravity (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), is that the skies would be filled with colliding craft. We already have self-driving cars (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot), and the days of human-piloted craft are quickly coming to a close. Again, it is not going to happen under the rubric of capitalism. Capitalism will quickly collapse when FE is introduced to the public, just as all scarcity-based institutions will, and nobody will miss them. A great example of capitalist implementation of autopilot technology is when Volvo unveiled a self-driving car and it ran over a journalist who was watching (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot). Volvo’s response was literally along the lines of, “Oh, you wanted a self-driving car that did not run over people? That costs extra.” That is the short-sighted idiocy of capitalism at work. That any self-driving car would be made that ran over people is one of those classic “believe-it-or-not” episodes in the history of capitalism, and is just another example of scarcity at work.

As I have stated, Microsoft is still learning the idea of, “If is not stable and secure, the rest does not matter.” When capitalism collapses, the Free Software Movement will be seen as a primitive early attempt at making the software development process transparent, etc. But the masses are not going to become DIY geeks. Software is going to be developed in environments that don’t exist today, and for any piece of technology operated by software, safety will be rule one. Everything else will be a distant second. You are not going to see idiotic attempts at making things more “efficient” that sacrifice safety. You are not going to see systems in which one glitch brings the entire thing down. That all reflects how primitive our systems are today.

I don’t favor guerilla movements (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla), especially for designing Fifth Epoch technologies. Again, the technology development environment will look nothing like what we see today. When you develop software, the overriding key is a systems approach from the beginning, and that is where you burn most of the brain cells, and that is where comprehensive thinkers are most needed. Fixing software to add core functionality after it has been built is 30 times as expensive as building it in at the beginning. Tower-of-Babel systems design is a catastrophe. In ways, PC software is hampered by design decisions that were made in the early days, and those limitations are still built into the overall framework. It is similar to the inertia built into the biology of complex life. Animals had the framework built in the Cambrian Period (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#organs), and plants had it built in the Devonian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#seed1), and nothing has fundamentally changed since then. It can’t. Once the foundation was set, it determined all that sat atop it. It has been like with that a lot of technology development, including software. But when abundance reigns, all software is going to be rebuilt from the bottom-up, in ways that defy current notions of it. Everything is going be rebuilt from the bottom-up, as scarcity will no longer be the overarching principle. When the foundation changes, and only then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), will what sits atop will be able to radically change. Again, the Fifth Epoch is unimaginable to people today, and even though I have been living with the idea for nearly 30 years, I know that my vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) only scratches the surface.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I know that the current discussion is about computers, but I want to ask something. This might be part of easing my way back into this forum again. :)

I want to ask you Wade about your thoughts in terms of those who might see your work as pursuing a seemingly "reductionist" approach wherein the introduction of free energy to humanity suddenly solves all of the problems of humanity today and also answers most of the current mysteries regarding the human past, the spiritual realm, etc. What is your take on that? Is it really reductionist? Energy reductionist?

We know of how you tried to be as holistic as you can in your site while relating all of it back to energy extraction and its importance. Obviously, we know about energy as the basis of humanity's wealth and as the basis of life on Earth, but what about those who might not be convinced of this seemingly reductionist approach? Why those who might want to know more about UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations, or new scientific wonders, or new sciences, or establishing a post-capitalist civilization, introducing free software, or the spiritual mysteries of the Universe has to consider the importance of energy, especially the crucial issue of free energy suppression today, and further explore it? I think this is where we get back to those who continue to hack on the branches and do not want to go to the roots, largely because of fear or maybe the possible semi-sentience of the human species to begin with, which is I am starting to really ponder on myself.

Sleep time.

Thanks,

Hi SL,
The question was for Wade but please allow me to share my thoughts. Recently I was emailing with Richard Stallman about One-Child Policy and he finds it "incredible" that it had no effect on China's population size except for reinforcing male bias. If you look at discourse on the population issue, people talk about availability of contraception, industrialization of country, soap operas (TV), educational levels, until recently few people even heard of demographic transition. In this confused talk how are people to know what are merely correlated vs causal? I think education is the key determinant, and people could call it reductionist. Unless people do a deep study it is impossible to understand root causes vs superficial issues.
When Wade says money is illusion, most people are not equipped to understand it.

==Added Later==
What I meant to say is this:
Given that we learn a lot of propaganda, and are very confused to start with. It takes a lot of thinking and reading to overcome our "education". I think Wade is correct in his thesis, but it cannot be easily reasoned about by people with superficial interest.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I am coming to the end of my computers and me posts. The reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy, and I don’t have Stephen Hawking’s terror of computers becoming sentient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking#Future_of_humanity) (just like the idea of FE might terrify him (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5)), while I realize that it all begins in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69). Materialists such as Hawking are not going to really understand. Materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), and will become as obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) as organized religion is becoming in industrialized nations.

Capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) (as well as communism and socialism and anarchism) and nationalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) have been artifacts of the Fourth Epoch, too, and will become obsolete in the Fifth. Movements such as the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), the radical left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), the Free Software Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm), and various environmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) and “progressive” organizations and the like are taking baby steps toward the Fifth Epoch, but only baby steps. To one degree or another, they are mired in dysfunctional adaptations to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), just like all people are. Only FE can bridge the chasm to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). Nothing else really has a chance, but as my readers know, the cards are very stacked against FE breaking out of the box it is in today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hurdles). I came to my present approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) after about 40 years of trial-and-error. It is the only approach that I am interested in, and Brian and Dennis immediately recognized that I was doing was something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852), and they were really the only two people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) whose opinions I would respect on the issue.

But making the biggest event in the human journey manifest not only does not pay, but pursuing it is life-risking on many levels. So, I crunch numbers for a living when I am not playing FE revolutionary, and have used computers since college. In this Internet age (another harbinger of the Fifth Epoch, if another faint one), electronic theft has become the new bank robbery, and for about 20 years of my career, lying awake at night, thinking of ways that my company could be stolen from and preventing it has been part of my job. I have designed and implemented electronic banking controls, in very complex environments, where I had to design controls around all steps in the electronic path from the company to its banks, and make them as bullet-proof as possible. Nobody ever cracked the safe on my watch. Ironically, the biggest theft from any of my companies (other than having our energy companies snuffed out during my days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting)) was when our treasury department trusted Wall Street and got defrauded by them (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#crisis), to the tune of $30 million. If I had been allowed to poke into that area, I could have prevented our catastrophe, and that will haunt me for the rest of my career.

As I have written recently, humans are notoriously poor at assessing risk (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1015912&viewfull=1#post1015912), and virtually all business enterprises are poorly conceived, but that comes with the framework of scarcity. Only brilliant efforts such as Dennis’s, putting the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), are really a harbinger of the Fifth Epoch, and they are far too few and far between. The rest are just self-serving enterprises, with little “vision” beyond making money, and in computing, making boatloads of money with companies hatched in college dormitories (Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc.) or a garage (Apple) is something new. It can be that way because the products are not really physical (except for the one first built in a garage :) ), but “canned thoughts,” if you will. John Rockefeller (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) did not build his first oil refinery in his bedroom.

And as I have written plenty, as a systems designer and user of computers for nearly 40 years, I have been constantly appalled by software design. When Microsoft rose to dominance in the 1990s, it partly did so by “feature wars,” where it put out more features than the others and used the monopoly muscle of its operating system to wipe out all of its competitors in what is called its Office suite today, and it also wiped out Netscape. Those activities naturally spurred the anti-trust actions of the late 1990s, but Microsoft never really changed its stripes. How could it be expected to? It was the ultimate winner of the capitalist sweepstakes, making its founder the world’s richest man (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), the John Rockefeller of his time.

But in its rush to wipe out its competitors, that little factor called product quality became low-ranking in importance, especially when Microsoft established a monopoly (I will be using its Office products for the rest of my career) and could jam its shoddy products downs its customers’ throats with impunity, and even try to shame them (calling them dinosaurs) for being afraid of upgrading to the newest shoddy version of their product. And I live across the street from Microsoft’s campus, and one of my best friends who lives nearby wrote me last night that he just got a consulting gig with them and can walk to work, and I am happy for him. The many ironies of such situations are not lost on me, but as I recently wrote (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1016835&viewfull=1#post1016835), I buy my gasoline at a Rockefeller company’s gas station and pay my monthly energy bill to the very company that helped wipe out Dennis’s Seattle company. I have learned to choose my battles, and making FE happen will win the war and then some, and an unprecedented epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will be upon us. That is the only battle on Earth truly worth fighting, and everything else is just a sideshow and distraction, and is hacking at branches at best. Can a stampede of sentient lambs succeed where mighty warriors have failed? I am trying to find out.

I was driven from sleep to do a little writing, but it is back to bed for now.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am not quite done writing about computers and me, but it will segue to my life’s work, which ain’t fiddling with computers. :) I am attempting to build a virtual community around my work, my big essay in particular, to help make FE happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The Internet is a new tool, developed by the American military, of all things, and I am using it while the window of opportunity lasts.

Being raised to be a scientist, learning alternate numbering systems at age eight (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and the like, were hints of what was ahead for me, but it was relatively late in my life that I realized how rare system designers were (competent ones), and when I was called a comprehensivist and did not know what it was, then read some Bucky (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=791067&viewfull=1#post791067), a lot became clearer.

I now understand that that systems orientation is what comprehensivists have. That orientation is reflected in my Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) framework, for instance. That thread of achieving an energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), at the cellular, organism, species, ecosystem, and civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse) levels is not something that I got from anybody else, but was my systems perspective at work. Is it valid? After many years of thought on the issues, I don’t see how it can’t be. Energy and consciousness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness) has always been the name of the game of life on Earth. That will likely never change, and their interplay is the essence of my work.

Computers reproduce intelligence, and the entire effort is in its infancy. All those months of my life tinkering with computers were like having to hand-crank early cars to get them to start (or even like banging rocks together to make tools). It is all so primitive. As I have written plenty, that heavenly world that Roads visited (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) I don’t consider a fantasy, as I know people who have made similar visits. Those transportation devices (rainbows and electromagnetic bubbles) that mesh with the consciousness of the “driver” are far beyond the geekiest computer fantasies these days. What my friend saw (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was primitive, compared to stuff like that.

Our tools made us, in very real terms, going back to the first stone tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1). Humanity is not going to give up on technological advance anytime soon, and if Godzilla’s Golden Hoard was ever brought to the public, humanity would almost instantly become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), and computers will play their role, and an important one. Godzilla may have already created sentient computers, but they definitely have not been put to their highest and best use. I remember reading back in the 1980s (it was mainstream material) that the computer technology just used by NSA types was already many years beyond what the public had access to, and Godzilla’s toys are another order of magnitude or four beyond that. What my friend was shown was just a taste. I am pretty sure that at least some of it was developed from reverse-engineering “captured” ET technology, and my friend’s reply to the show was that those demonstrators played in another galaxy. That might have literally been true. :)

Hi:

Before I hit the hay, I just saw this (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-10/giant-utilities-try-kill-solar-power). California utility companies trying to kill solar power? I don’t’ believe it! I thought that they were the consumer’s best friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr)! :)

Hi:

This will not be news to my readers, but briefly, my life’s work is helping the human journey’s biggest event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) manifest. Today, more than 99% of humanity is in denial of its possibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) or fears it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), if they even hear of it at all (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0). My target audience is probably people who have never heard of it. Almost everybody who hears of it has an unproductive reaction to the idea of FE and abundance, dragging their baggage of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) along with them, and I do not seek to change their minds. They will only begin to understand when FE is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). They are not going to be talked into it.

Some tiny fraction of those who heard of FE and did not have a denial and fear reaction, who actually tried to do something, may be willing to give up their orientation and explore mine. I don’t expect to find many of them, either, but they are welcome to come along if they can lay aside their unworkable approaches that are always somehow mired in scarcity and fear. If I had to guess, they are going to be Level 10s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) who finally realized that the social approach will not work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). I was once there, too. The masses don’t have the right stuff to help make it happen, and anybody who has truly been on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) for long understands. It is a sobering understanding but a necessary one (it was the most important lesson of my life’s journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn)), if they want to make a dent. Accepting that and not judging the sleeping masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) is also a challenge that few can meet (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust).

All previous Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) were initiated by a relative or literal handful of people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#events), and I don’t expect it to be any different for FE. FE is a little different from the previous events in that the technology for the energy event has already been developed (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) to a level where it can be implemented, but the world’s ultra-elites have kept the lid on it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), to preserve their ill-gotten positions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). They want to rule in hell, and the sleeping masses have obliged them. There is dissention in the ranks (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), however, and sanity may prevail, but I am not counting on the elite to save the day. I don’t need their help, and I have designed something that will be hard to stop, if I can find enough of those needles in haystacks, and I have an unprecedented tool to help me, while this window of opportunity exists. It may close one day, but I hope to get something going before then.

While saving the whales (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#whaling), preserving the forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), feeding the homeless (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#homeless), preventing or halting the genocides (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), bringing atmospheric carbon dioxide back to preindustrial levels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming), and educating peasants are all noble goals, they are all distractions from what I am attempting, and people need to leave those passions at the door if they are going to be involved with me. FE easily solves all of those problems as mere side effects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but without FE, those goals are all huge struggles to attain, often seemingly impossible, and they all fall far short of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). Many are addicted to the struggle and can’t be involved at the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) level of what I am attempting. Engaging in those struggles can be good work, but is largely hacking at branches. I am after vastly larger game, and am only one man. Helping the biggest event in the human journey manifest is plenty for one man’s life, and nobody has ever remotely tried what I am doing, and I am trying to juggle my life to boot. I should not have survived my adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm) with my sanity intact, and becoming substance-addicted is a common enough fate for people like me. My plate is more than full. If I had 48-hour days, I might be able to feel like I was making a dent, but I have to make do with what I have, and my only interest anymore, really, is developing a high-level discussion of my big essay, to help people attain comprehensive perspectives, because only then will they be able to discern the forest from the trees and refrain from hacking at branches, and we can seek the root together.

Almost all New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)/conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) topics are distractions and do not interest me, and I am bombarded with them daily by people in my circles who do not exercise much discernment. I have virtually no support in my daily life for what I am doing, and far worse, I have generally been attacked for my efforts, with even my own mother campaigning against me (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492). Those who have been on the high road nod in sad recognition. It seems like every FE newbie just has to contact their social circles and tell them the “good news,” and the best of them eventually come to me and let me know what a disaster that was, and they begin to get sobered up and heed my cautions. I did not just make this stuff up. My perspective on making FE happen (and what is not likely to work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)) comes from a lifetime of life-risking and life-wrecking trial-and-error, both mine and those of my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and my best students are going to give it great weight and not think that they know better, with their bright ideas. My forum is going to be an oasis from those social circle issues, as I create a virtual community that may one day become more than virtual.

I am still waiting for the first person who is brave enough to join me on the global stage and is capable of engaging in that high-level conversation of my big essay with me, and we can begin to build that choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Some are stepping up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/23-Forum-Member-Introduction) but are not yet ready. The hymnal has been written, world experts on the subjects I write about give it an enthusiastic two-thumbs-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo), and I am just waiting for some needles who are currently studying to step up to the plate. It should be fun. The only thing that is going to attract those I seek is that high-level conversation. It will be a song that they have pined for for their entire lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#technical). Right now, there is nothing to “market” other than my big essay, and I have made an easy-to-read summary of the human chapters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanityppt.pdf), for instance, and have made some summary tables in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#timelines), an executive summary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#summary), etc. There is more than enough meat to chew on, and people are, and one day, maybe before long, some of those needles (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) will begin the process with me of building that choir. That is really all that matters to me anymore. Will it make a dent? Maybe, and maybe not, but it won’t hurt.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This will be the first of a series of posts on energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus). It really is the crux of the human journey, but almost nobody on Earth has any understanding of it, and that is a big part of what my big essay attempts to remedy.

Unless there was an energy gradient to harvest, life on Earth would not exist at all. The first life was chemosynthetic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeenergy), as it took advantage of the energy potential of chemicals newly introduced to water, and those volcanic vents in the ocean seem to be where life first set up shop. The history of life on Earth is one of continual biological innovation through the process called evolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin), and virtually all species of complex life have gone extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinction2). But some of the earliest species still thrive today. The organisms that made the first fossils that we know of, cyanobacteria (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic), are still around. In fact, they still form the energy base of all ecosystems, except for those chemosynthetic ones (and the Sun powers those (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun1)). They even saved all life on Earth by producing oxygen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation), which saved the ocean (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen). A cyanobacterium formed a symbiosis with a protist a billion years or so ago, and all plants are descended from that event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chloroplast). Another bacterium formed a symbiosis with an Archaean bacterium, and all complex life is descended from that event, and that bacterium became the energy center of all complex life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#complex). By the time that complex cells formed, they burned up energy 100,000 times as fast as the Sun produced it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy2), pound-for-pound.

During the eon of complex life, those that best played the energy game thrived, while the losers became marginalized and/or extinct. Mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctioncauses1) happened when most complex life lost the energy game. What became dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1) took advantage of the devastation of the biggest mass extinction ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction) and dominated for nearly 200 million years, and mammals were a loser line that lived in the margins (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop), but came from the margins when a bolide event removed dinosaurs from the scene (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction), and they have dominated ever since. Mammals gained dinosaurian size within 25 million years, and stayed that large until humans arrived on the scene (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humanagency) and could harvest the stored energy in their massive bodies, and another mass extinction event arrived, which continues (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1).

The rise of humans was an energy event above all else, and the human-line ascent began in earnest when they began making stone tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1). The control of fire followed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), and a key controversy today is just when fire was first controlled. It was an unprecedented act in the journey of life on Earth, and Darwin called it humanity’s greatest achievement, along with the mastery of language. The control of fire clearly had plenty to do with humanity’s rise and dominance of Earth, and a key controversy today is how much cooking changed human anatomy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking), and if it was the critical aspect of fueling the growth of our huge brains. One thing is for sure: growing our brains would have been impossible without a healthy energy surplus. Plants used their energy surplus to grow into trees (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy), and like the megafauna of all eras of complex life, growing big was all about an exploitable energy surplus. Humans found a way to exploit that energy reserve, too, and the devastation of the world’s forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations) is one of humanity’s signature behaviors.

Today’s women in industrialized nations ideally bear children in their 20s, when their biological energy surplus is greatest, as producing offspring is the greatest biological energy feat that any organism accomplishes, and scientists have found that men of all ages find women in their 20s the most attractive, because they are the ideal mates for producing healthy children. Many human proclivities have our biological heritage to thank.

When behaviorally modern humans drove all the world’s easy meat to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused) (and all competing human species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal)), it was the Golden Age of the Hunter Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), which ended all-too-quickly, and then humans began fighting over territory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#violence1) in a pattern that continues to this day, as humans fight over their energy supplies.

There has been a great deal of romanticizing hunter-gatherers by some industrialized humans (such as “paleo” advocates), but it is proportionally the most violent epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate). Like chimps do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), hunter-gatherer bands sought to entirely exterminate their rivals and take their territory (and often the fertile females). As with the early days of conquering Earth, after the easy meat was gone, women domesticated plants as an adjunct to their gathering duties, and there was a brief golden age of horticultural societies. Women’s status rose due to their greater energy contribution, many such societies became matrilocal, broke up the male gangs, and those societies were the most peaceful societies of the human journey’s Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). All pristine civilizations began peacefully (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1), but men eventually rose to dominance once again, civilizations depleted their energy supplies, and societies once again became extremely violent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), but on a larger scale than the previous epoch, as humanity’s energy practices supported orders of magnitude greater population densities.

No civilization has ever been energetically sustainable, and all early civilizations collapsed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) as they ran out of energy. All warfare for all time has been primarily economic in nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), and resource-based, and energy resources most of all, as always. The West’s quest for oil explains everything that has happened in the Middle East for the past century (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), ever since the British Navy converted from coal to oil in 1911 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). It takes a great deal of obscene effort for Western imperial pundits (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) to obscure those very clear dynamics, and the imperial masses easily swallow the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) lies, because believing in them feeds them and they can have relatively clear consciences if they remain delusional, but a great deal of that “delusion” is a wink-and-nod exercise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worldpoor).

Time to start my busy day.

Best,

Wade

On my trucking company’s software, what do you mean the code was secret?.... we lost all of our mods
Sure, the companies could modify it, but then they were in DIY land,


Your modifications are good example of user innovation (http://web.mit.edu/evhippel/www/democ1.htm). You had access to source code and could modify it. Did the software company not want to pick up your changes? In Free Software world this is called upstreaming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstream_(software_development)) the code. DIY without sharing, upstreaming and wide use does not work.


You keep referring to the free software movement as a guerilla movement, well, that is not going to happen for FE. You need a higher level of professionalism than a bunch of tinkerers working alone in their garages. No technology for public consumption was ever developed in a garage. Software really does not count.


Free Software is about developing software together by the community, for the community. Eben Moglen gave a speech titled Software and Community in the Early 21st Century (https://www.softwarefreedom.org/events/2006/plone-keynote/plone2006-transcript.html) Sure only a small subset of the people will contribute, but anybody who wants can do so.

I won’t speculate about how FE technology can be built. Free software is about doing things together. Not about doing things alone, it is as “professional" as any other software. I don’t really understand why you think free software is not meant for public consumption. Firefox, libreoffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/), and a lot of other free software can be easily used by the public on any operating system they choose.


Of course, with all such areas, with great effort and privation, alternatives can be pursued, but it is usually so great a hassle that nobody does it

Man, operating systems should be invisible and meaningless! The applications should be what people like me think about, not the operating systems.


I agree that applications are key. However I don't see privation with using free software, mostly a lack of awareness/inertia. At work I have switched from Linux to Mac to Windows without any trouble or even thinking about it. You, Avalon choose free software on the server because it works for you and is convenient. I suggested linux because it seemed to me that the upgrade to windows 10 broke your hardware.

Hi:

More on energy surplus. When an organism captures energy, it always has a “decision (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#budget)” about what to do with it. It can use it as fuel, to run the machinery of its biology, such as a person deciding to run. It can use it to build more biological machinery, such as a growing child, fetus, or bodybuilder, or it can store that energy somehow, such as humans getting fat. The more energy that is available (surplus energy), the easier the decision is, and I have likened it to discretionary income (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#discretionary), to put it in terms that people can better understand. An energy surplus is the greatest wealth that any organism can have. As Bucky Fuller said (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#abundance), energy is wealth, and it is no coincidence that history’s greatest energy-using society was also its richest and most powerful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and that it has been declining ever since its energy use began declining (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and it has spent trillions of dollars ending millions of lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading) to control the greatest energy producing region on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate).

It can be asked how much of that energy “decision” was conscious, even among humans, but whatever or whoever played the energy game the best thrived, while the losers became marginalized (“poor”) and starved. At the individual level, it meant poverty and starvation, at a species level, it could mean extinction, and at the societal level, it meant collapse and vanishing, leaving behind ruins of monumental architecture devoted to the elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold) and other artifacts, as all early civilizations did (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) as they ran out of energy. Scientists have studied “primitive” societies and found them to be energetically ideal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), but nobody in the society thought of it that way; it was simply ingrained into their ritual practices. It was likely far less of a conscious decision with plants, animals, and microbes, but they had energetically ideal behaviors, and those that did not practice them lost the game of life on Earth.

When the human line began controlling fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), it was the greatest energy event by any species in the history of Earth, and separated humans from all other life. Just when the human line began controlling fire is controversial today, but a bird has co-evolved with humans, to raid beehives with smoke, and today’s molecular studies suggest that their partnership began as long as three million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#honeyguide). Controlling fire was such a radical and unprecedented event that I think it likely that it was achieved once, like many key events in the history of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#keyevents1), and then spread. Those “hobbits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hobbit)” that were recently discovered may have been island-dwarfed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#island) australopiths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habilis) or habilines (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habilis), and they controlled fire, so the control of fire may well predate the appearance of Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus).

The energy surplus of early human-line practices funded radical changes in human-line anatomy. Most importantly, the human-line’s brain became gigantic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain), and human digestive systems shrank, which was an adaption to easier-to-eat foods, and cooked food (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking) is strongly suspected as a causative agent. One thing is for sure: human energy practices have defined the human journey and always will. It took more than two million years for the radical changes that began with habilines to result in behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), and they quickly conquered Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) while driving all of the easy meat to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused). When the east meat was gone, in some places on Earth conducive to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), humans domesticated plants, and the Third Epoch began (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). After thousands of years of horticulture and eventually farming, civilizations appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). They all had striking similarities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up3), which likely reflected behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up) reacting to similar situations. They all had small energy surpluses that were appropriated by a new phenomenon: elites. They appeared with the first civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) and have been with us ever since. The professional priesthood attributed divine status or sanction to elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), in a Faustian deal, and the elites and professionals lived off of the energy surplus generated by the peasantry. The surplus of agrarian civilizations was always thin and could only support a thin elite and professional class, at somewhere around 10% of the population, and only the elite had what we today might call freedom, and professionals to a lesser extent. Yearning for freedom is a universal human trait, but the elite and professional class has labored for millennia to get the peasants, slaves, and others producing the energy surplus to accept their fate, and ideological indoctrination is as old as civilization.

The first religions were marked by singing and dancing rituals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing) that built in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) cohesion, so that societies could prevail in warfare against their neighbors. Priests were among the first professionals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), and they subverted the hunter-gatherer religions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) into the forms familiar to people today. They are still influential in Third Epoch cultures, but have waned in importance in Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) cultures, whose religion is materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), which is just another scarcity-based ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). The vast energy surplus of the Fourth Epoch’s use of fossil fuels has greatly diminished the peasant class and created middle classes of unprecedented size and sophistication. I live on the USA’s West Coast and can run into the world’s richest man at the movie theater (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), where nobody recognizes him but me. That kind of egalitarian lifestyle among the high-tech rich is unprecedented in the human journey and reflects the vast wealth of my culture, which as always rides on the energy surplus.

The first civilizations quickly ran out of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), as they were based on the energy provided by forests and fertile soils, which were quickly depleted, and rising and falling civilizations have marked the past several millennia. All pristine states began brutally (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy), as the elites established their rule, and as their early golden ages quickly vanished, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), agrarian civilizations became very brutal affairs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare) and reached their “zenith” with the Roman Empire, where people were forced into murdering each other (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gladiators) for imperial entertainment. Second Epoch societies were proportionately more violent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate), but Third Epoch societies were much larger, because of the energy generated by agriculture, and while they were proportionately less violent, their conflicts were orgies of violence, as groups jockeyed for supremacy. The bloodshed of Roman politics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romancivil) almost beggared the imagination, as psychopathic rule was the order of the day.

The Fourth Epoch was less violent still, proportionately, but energy supplies were still relatively scarce. As Noam Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) says, today’s retail political scene is no more moral than in the days of the Mongol hordes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mongol), but Fourth Epoch cultures are in many ways far more humane than previous epochs, as the energy surplus was far greater (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and people to could afford to be more humane. That surplus energy generated by industrialization meant that freedom was no longer limited to the elite, but as usual, it was relative. The first nation to industrialize, England (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#french), began to turn the art of controlling public thought into a science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays) after its elites could no longer rule through violence. Ideological indoctrination under the guise of “education (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded)” marks the Fourth Epoch, and it has extracted a high price, so high that humanity may not survive the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) to make it to the Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I encounter people every day who believe that they are free thinkers, but all they can do is regurgitate their indoctrination and conditioning, drinking from the same poisoned well each day.

Time to start my busy day.

Hi:

It seems that Wade already answered my question even without mentioning me. :)

If you all allow me to make a reflection, I have to admit that there is a part of me that wants fame, recognition and glory out of "saving the world" and becoming powerful. It's been a fantasy of mine and they are reflected in the way my mind wanders during my "escapisms", largely fueled by the Internet. They reflect the way I try to drown out the inner suffering and misery out of the effects of discovering stuff around me. These are supposedly "less harmful" hidden addictions, but I think they are starting to really affect my quality of life now. This might be part of the reason why I haven't really made an attempt to start playing a more active role in this forum. There are some legitimate reasons behind my absence but I guess, I still don't have any excuse. I probably just thought that what's the use if I am not going to be famous in this anyway. I am not going to get financial security. I am not going to get the hot chicks. I am not going to get the admiration of the population. Much of this is largely subconscious, I am sure. And this is making me more sick, literally. Physically, yes. I have to sort myself out. I have managed to reach out to a prominent healer here that seems like a legitimate healer and I am trying to seek assistance now. I've visited him three times now without my parents' knowledge, unfortunately due to the stigma associated with these healers which I know that my family possesses, and I am planning to visit him again. The journey continues. He basically told me that 40% of my ailments right now is psychosomatic. I don't know how he got the 40% but I believe him in terms of the psychological cause of my ailments. I haven't truly thought of it until he told me about it. Ok, I gave this some thought but I never truly thought of this. But I know it ring a bell to me. I think this is because I am really looking for a quick fix on the surface and try to avoid the deeper roots. The quick fixes never worked. Though some of my ailments went further back, I think Wade's site created an impact on me more than that I expected. It's not easy to realize all of these stuff and yet you cannot even share these properly with your family and friends. You just know that they are not going to really understand. I've gone a long way in terms of my inner journey in this life, even more than what they have gone through. It's more than all of those "practical" experiences of daily life by those older than me and more than that of my intelligent, beautiful elder sister that have gone to many countries in her 40 plus years of life. But I don't care about this inner journey that I've gone through and if it really made me learn about what's really important and should have been the practical. I am practically alone in this. And man, that hurts. I don't even know if there is a fellow Filipino Avalonian here and even if there is one, I am sure that I am the only Filipino responding in some level to Wade right now. I am actually the first in a country of 100 million people. Nevermind Southeast Asia or even Asia. Incredible. But I guess I just have to get used to this. If this approach ultimately work (and I really do hope so, for our planet), I am not going to get the things that will supposedly cure me internally and externally. And I have to accept that. There is no clear path to success in this endeavor, and especially on the benefits that I can receive. I have to wrestle with that fact. Because of this, I just thought that maybe my heart is not in the right place. Maybe not yet. What do you guys think? Because if it did, it should reflect on my output here. Or maybe I am being hard on myself again and not taking my time.

I'll try to be better. I actually want to continue writing here and get to be on topic and respond to you freeknowledge but my typing is disturbing the sleep of some people here at home since it's already 2:30 am in this part of the world. I'll continue this tomorrow, if possible, after my visit to the healer I've just mentioned.

Sleep time.

Thanks,

SL

Hi:

More on energy surplus. There is more than one way to generate an energy surplus. In nature, we have foregut and hindgut fermenters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hindgut). A hindgut fermenter (a horse, for instance) is not as energy efficient as a foregut fermenter (a cow, for instance), but can ingest more food and make up for its lower efficiency on its higher volume. Businesses play a similar game, for instance, when they sell large volumes at a low margin, to generate profits (such as a grocery store), but generally, high-margin businesses generate the most profits, such as in high-tech. The largest herbivores are hindgut fermenters, so their strategy usually generates a larger energy surplus than foregut fermenters do. But there are situations where the efficiency of foregut fermenters is an advantage, such as when food is scarce.

The idea that greater volume at lower efficiency can generate more surplus than lower volume at higher efficiency was part of the idea behind solar energy, and the fact that the Sun will host fusion reactions far longer than humans will burn Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits. The Sun will burn for billions more years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beginning), while the hydrocarbon age of humanity will likely not last much beyond this century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), if at all.

In practice, however, lower efficiency generally means lower surplus, such as what we see today in the oil industry. A century ago, the EROI from oil operations was 100-to-1 and more (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi), because the “low hanging fruit” had yet to be plucked. The oil was near the surface and relatively easy to extract.

EROI for hydrocarbon production has plummeted in my lifetime. For global oil and gas production, it fell from about 30 in 1990 to less than 20 today, and will hit 10 within a decade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroi1). The so-called boom in the USA’s oil industry in the past several years (which is now a bust (http://wolfstreet.com/2015/11/05/giant-sucking-sound-of-capital-destruction-in-us-oil-gas-impairments/)) was mining the dregs. All of that shale oil, tight oil, and sand oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands) (in Canada) have EROIs of less than five, and generally around three. As the EROI declines, so does the surplus. The leaders in developing the EROI concept estimate that an EROI of at least five (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroimin) is required to run a civilization, and likely closer to ten.

The decline in energy surplus is what makes species, ecosystems, and civilizations vulnerable to disruptive shocks. Rome’s EROI declined for centuries (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroidecline) before it began to collapse. Societies with healthy energy surpluses are able to weather the vagaries of life on Earth (think of it like a rich man and poor man, and their ability to weather a society’s calamities). Industrialized nations do not have famines in bad harvest years. The price of food may go up, and the quality can go down (less fresh food) but nobody starves. The USA’s poor are generally fat. That is new in the human journey, as before industrialization, poverty meant starvation. That is all about the surplus energy that industrialized nations generate, at least while the hydrocarbons last.

Time to start my busy day.

Hi:

I have some time to respond to recent posts (I had not read them yet - way too busy). Hi SL, on this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1017941&viewfull=1#post1017941), there is a big difference between reductionism and ranking causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). The only things that exist in the universe are consciousness and energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness), if we want to be “reductionist” about it. But people who think that the energy issue is all about reductionism are getting lost in the weeds. The way to think about it is like Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs). If you don’t take care of the basics, the rest does not matter. There are no starving philosophers. I have been writing on energy surplus lately, and that defines a society’s wealth. Only an energy surplus (the earliest surplus was the agricultural surplus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_product#Marxian_interpretation_of_the_historical_origin_of_the_surplus_product)) could fund people not having to spend all their time acquiring food, and early elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) (and the professional class) skimmed off that surplus, which was always thin in agrarian societies.

Each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) was defined by its energy practices. Those practices set the foundation for all that developed on it. Scientifically illiterate people dismiss energy and other real world dynamics because they do not understand them, and calling an awareness that it all rides on the energy foundation reductionism is misunderstanding the issue. Ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prehuman) and societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) collapse when they run out of energy. Anybody who understands that understands the importance of energy in our industrial civilization, especially when we are burning up our primary energy source a million times as fast as it was formed. We have already reached peak extraction rates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil) and are increasingly mining the dregs of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits. Scientists understand very clearly the abyss that humanity is on the edge of today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), while the masses are largely oblivious, as their awareness rarely extends past their immediate self-interest. There is nothing reductionistic about that understanding, and in fact, it is the opposite, which is the integrated perspective of the generalist, not the reductionistic perspective of the specialist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists).

To Freeknowledge’s post here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1018176&viewfull=1#post1018176), yes indeed, it is like my response above. Superficial understandings are not going to see the forest from the trees. It takes deep thought to really understand these issues, and scientific literacy is required (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) for my work to really begin to sink in, but I doubt it has to be much more than what is required to digest my big essay. Otherwise, people are easily distracted by the daily circus on Earth, the latest New Age or conspiracist talking head, etc. My big essay can’t be digested in a couple of days, as some readers informed me that they had. :) Those who did stuff like that would reject the scientific findings about the necropolis at Giza (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold) for folktales that appealed to them (people have invoked everything from Atlantis to ETs, and I don’t buy any of that).

Freeknowledge, I get community development, believe me. My entire approach is to form a virtually community that becomes a real one that can develop FE without having an air strike called in against it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but everybody involved has to raise their games far above what people in all FE attempts have achieved so far (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). A corporation is a community, but its goal is making profits (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit). The profit motivation is simply humanity’s self-serving nature in a new institution that developed when Europe conquered the world and industrialized. Private versus community ownership is a concept that goes back to chimps. I see the Free Software Movement as just another iteration of the issue. What groups like them have going for them is seeing humanity as their community, and it is going to be predominantly the young who do it, as Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#college). Corporations capturing their customers by wiping out the competition is the essence of capitalism, and then foisting their shoddy products on them, via proprietary code, proprietary technology, and the like, is how it works, and anybody trying to break up the rackets has a great challenge ahead of them. The high-tech industry, including software, is still young and innocent, with ideals such as “Don’t be evil” thrown around. Imagine that becoming Exxon’s slogan. :)

Hey SL, posts like that (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1019178&viewfull=1#post1019178) are fine. I have mentioned the challenges to the ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260) that FE presents. The biggest event in the human journey is enough to rock anybody’s boat, and not many can hang with this stuff before they go off the deep end, etc. That is why my first post to you was about grounding yourself. My work is not to be lightly taken, and it really can be hazardous to people’s sanity if they do not have a proper orientation, and yes, selfishness is a killer in this realm. I sure would not mind somebody dumping a pile of money on my doorstep so that I can devote all of my time to this, but ten years of my life, working for free, and the rest of my life’s “spare” time is likely all that I am going to be able to spend on it, and it will have to be enough for me. No need to become a hero, get rich and famous, drown in babes, etc. Believe me, helping this world manifest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) (and only FE can do that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity)), in any way that you can truly help, will be plenty for anybody, and simply digesting my material and developing a comprehensive perspective is plenty. Almost nobody on Earth has achieved one or even tried.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

When I see stuff that is particularly topical to my essay, I’ll usually discuss it. I saw this (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/leading-harvard-physicist-radical-theory-160000092.html) this morning. It is another revival of the periodicity hypothesis for mass extinctions. I may get it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062328476?me=&redirect=true&ref_=olp_product_details). The periodicity hypothesis for mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#periodicity) has come and gone and come over the years. That physicist is one of myriad scientists who have taken their run at why the dinosaurs went extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction). We’ll see how her hypothesis fares, but I am very skeptical of the celestial explanation of the mass extinctions. It is another “outside agency” hypothesis, and tends to relegate what is happening “on the ground” to an irrelevancy. I don’t buy Velikovsky’s theorizing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) or the climate change advocates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) for the megafauna extinctions.

I doubt that another “outside agency” hypothesis is going to sway me much, but we’ll see.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Thanks for responding directly to my recent posts Wade! :) I have so much more to say mind you, but I guess just like you, I couldn't find the time. Nevertheless, I am back and I am easing my way into becoming a more regular participant here in this thread and forum. I really don't have much to say though but I just want to start posting more regularly here. Actually, I do have some things to say but then again, they float in my head for a while and then all of a sudden, they get out of my head and then I am too tired to think of it again. I forgot all of a sudden. I actually decided to note them down so I can remember. But I usually think of them while going home or going to work or eating. Mostly during those regular activities in my daily life. But I just discovered that this thread is quite helpful for me in terms of grounding myself, since posting here about my "confessions" and my struggles can be liberating. I can express what I can't express vocally through writing here. Certain recent events just prompted me to really start to get going in terms of making myself better overall and not just wallow in misery, that can really happen subconsciously. I am not sure if you guys believe in the 11:11 phenomenon but I sure encounter all of these 11:11, 3:33, 12:34, 555, 999 stuff for months now. I think I've started to really notice the degree of how this is becoming more frequent by August. At least based on the Internet, it means something positive. It's about spiritual awakening. I just asked "Mr. Healer" about this and he told me to "just relax and not think about this too much. I might make myself crazy." Of course, he didn't really dismiss this. He told me that there is a meaning behind stuff like this but he just told me to not think about this too much. I guess this is because I am trying to heal myself and I am not going to let myself heal if I think a lot of stress related thoughts like this. So, yes, I have to relax and ground myself more. He basically told me to not think too much and relax. So, yes. I am going to do just that. But posting here also gives me a form of emotional release that is not simply available vocally, even with Mr. Healer. Given his capitalist background, semi-celebrity status, and Catholic upbringing, I doubt that he might actually relate to me about this stuff.

By the way, speaking of healing, I just visited him and he informed me that I am getting some progress. He said that my aura is glowing better or getting cleaner, something along those lines, and I am progressing. He also noted my improvement in terms of my emotional attitude in terms of approaching him, getting more talkative, feeling relaxed, and all of that. I am emitting more positivity, that's the impression. I just hope that this improvement definitely continues more. I am feeling better, I do think so. But I am thinking that me getting more talkative or appearing more positive might be all about me reaching a level of comfort with him and his colleagues in his place since I am already on my 4th visit to his place. I do admit though that I am more uptight and withdrawn in my previous visits. Do you guys have some experience with "pranic healing" or "faith healing"? My Mr. Healer appears to be along these lines. He is in this kind of alternative healing. I do admit that there is a part of me that doesn't want to believe him, in terms of having his seemingly credible credentials and the stories about how he did heal many people before from cancer and all of that. But this part of me disbelieving seems to be stronger before than it is now. However, I am not solely relying on his skills in terms of healing. I have to facilitate the healing process that appears to be deeper than expected. He did say that the healing process is not going to be overnight. I just have to try. He doesn't hurt that he is doing the energy healing for free and he is not asking for donations either. That's part of the reason why I came to him. He has a livelihood from where he gets his money anyway. It appears to be a construction business. His medication is also for free but his healing oil costs about a dollar. Buying his articles from a local newspaper before he stopped writing also costs a few pennies. I do hope that I know what I am getting myself into. I am a bit desperate for medicinal treatments and I just don't know where to go, given how my belief in conventional medicinal treatments were thoroughly shaken up and I just gave up on them partially. I do remember that part of the problem is also me not following the doctor's instructions, partly because I don't have the money to buy more medicine and do follow up check-ups. I just depend on my sister for that and I don't want to be a bother, especially since the time my previous healthcard I depend to expired. But today; for the first time, I now have a health card, courtesy of my current job, and my workplace has an incredible clinic, and yet...here I am going to a nontraditional healer. What a strange occurrence. I don't know if I also have to try conventional treatment now or also find a naturopath or homeopath. Incredible. I think that I am going to do them too. But there's something inside me now that's changed, I do have a certain motivation to really find a way to heal myself. I am trying to strengthen this resolve now. I needed it.

Another numerology event for me as I write this, 1:23 am on my laptop. This is five times today. 12:34pm, 3:33pm, 555 and 999 on two billboards. I wonder what this is all about. I've made some researches about this but I think I have to follow Mr. Healer's advice, "Don't think about it too much. You're just going to turn crazy". :facepalm:

Now to the recent discussions, Freeknowledge responded to me about education as a key determinant in terms of getting a comprehensive understanding on free energy's key role in all of the current causes of people that genuinely wants to make planet Earth a better. It also avoids the accusations of reductionism that people might say to Wade's work. He also spoke about how much of what we are learning anyway is "propaganda" so it's important to separate what is merely propaganda from true education. As I've (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=967771&viewfull=1#post967771) said before (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=967797&viewfull=1#post967797), I believe my journey into becoming a radical leftist really helped me in getting here and getting some understanding about what's really going on behind the supposed conspiracy theories on energy suppression and how Wade skillfully managed to put radical political causes and spirituality in relation to free energy and energy suppression. I've noted my life experiences behind my journey and admittedly, much of what I've learned came from inherited knowledge like reading/watching the Secret, the Legend of Atlantis, Steven Greer, Conversations with God, the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ, Richard Bach, Manufacturing Consent...etc. and not from direct experiences. I have to thank that energy surplus that my family managed to gather and then spent on me. :) I do have some extraordinary experiences that made me question things like an apparational experience and watching a TV show about a 83 year old man looking for a job to get his family of a wife and granddaughter out of poverty that moved me into tears, crying in the bathroom, but they didn't exactly relate to FE. But Wade said that it doesn't have to relate to FE for you to gain an understanding of FE, at least from a "Wade's World" criteria. I've tried to say that in those posts before. I tried to be "comprehensivist" in that.

If there is one form of personal identity that I am disassociating myself from now on and is easier for me to do now, it's the idea that I am a radical leftist. When I first wrote those posts, I still cling to that identity, thus the reason why I suggested that while I do FE related stuff in this forum, I can still be some kind of an activist. If you can get the feel of those writings, what I am really saying is like "I am an anarcho-communist from a Third World country that happens to reject materialism and believes in a Supreme Creator but can't associate myself with organized religion and I believe in what Wade Frazier is saying in his site. I want to help save the world and this thread might help. But I am not sure if I can help. I want fame and attention, even though I suppress these feelings. With all of these discoveries, does this still make me an anarcho-communist? No. I guess not. So, What am I now? What am I going to do now? I was able to express myself now. So what's next?". Then came the dead end. I just don't know what to do next. Grounding myself? Yes. I know. But easier said than done. The "What am I now?" part of my life journey just started. I am still attached to the labels of communism, socialism and anarchism back then. There is a part of me that still wants to continue with the associations with those labels. They are familiar. They put a word into my cause of understanding what capitalism is really about and how it should be destroyed and replaced by something else better. Socialism supposedly provides that path. I am not truly willing to let go. My mind still works around the fact that socialism/communism/anarchism are Fourth Epochal ideologies that can stand a better chance as some form of smoother transitional ideologies to FE than capitalism is. I even wrote it in those posts. Does Wade's World have some kind of a name so that I can attach myself in regards to....this? This is just so bizarre. However, just recently, I was able to really say vocally to a workmate that I am a "former communist". There is a part of me that still struggles into defending certain tenets of left-wing ideology. I actually changed myself quickly into saying that I am a "former anarchist" though. But I am not ready to fully diss anarchism and I am ready to defend its merits. I didn't have to though. Because I know that the Fifth Epoch will definitely create a post-capitalist paradise on Earth based on anarchism and even taking the ideology beyond. I am ready to call myself a FE revolutionary. At least internally I am more comfortable with that. I can't really say it to my workmate.

I can even actually really say now comfortably that most likely, communism/socialism/anarchism will never work in real practice, if given the opportunity. I am not going to make excuses on the really existing socialisms of the USSR and associates using the arguments raised by left-wing communism and libertarian socialism. It's not going to happen. It's impossible. I actually think now that capitalism is perhaps the best Fourth Epoch economic system that humanity can ever create. In fact, as Uncle Noam himself pointed out, "really existing capitalism" is not even capitalism of the economics books. What is existing is not even capitalism. State capitalism is the closest term he can come up with the current economic order with "the Pentagon System" forming its core. Uncle Noam came close. Here in Avalon, we recognize that there's a lot more about the Pentagon System than what Uncle Noam is seeing. Communism/socialism/anarchism is indeed impossible because it goes against human nature, as capitalism's proponents and worshippers have been saying. I NOW AGREE WITH THEM because as I've posted here just recently, I am also contemplating on the sentience of humanity, if humans are really a sentient species. I think now that capitalism is the best economic system that can be established by a highly irrational and semi-sentient species like the homo sapiens. Communism/socialism/anarchism can provide a better economic arrangement and humans from time to time can realize short term experiments based on these ideologies and anarchism came the closest in providing something better and more positive but humanity as a whole will not embrace these ideologies on a large scale. It's not going to happen and it probably didn't happen in other alternate universes. After all, they will not work anyway, especially in a long run. And it's not that they are simply not going to work. It's almost impossible to even see them emerging. I am referring more to anarchism here in particular. Perhaps the Spanish Revolution is all that communist anarchism can really offer, as good an experiment it was in a few months that it existed there. Because as Wade pointed out, these ideologies never got really close to the root. And since they didn't got close to the root, they didn't have much to say on the reality. On what's really out there. They're not based on reality. They didn't got deep enough. So, if the current analyses of these ideologies on what capitalism is already have a lot of holes, what about the solutions? They are going to have a lot of holes too. And understanding capitalism turned out to have to include those "conspiracy theories" that the Left largely rejected. As freeknowledge noted, just going through the history of propaganda and modern "education" can provide you a certain understanding of what humans are. The Left tend to have a more optimistic picture on the nature of humanity and human civilization and the capabilities of humans to understand their condition and improve on them using science, social science in particular. But I'm not so sure anymore. Add in the history of suppression in medicine and you can see where I am getting at. I am starting to understand Brian O'Leary's inquiry about if humans are really sentient. Marx got close, as Wade noted in terms of understanding capitalism and the influence of resource distribution on human behavior, etc. and communism/socialism/anarchism may give more rational solutions in terms of changing economic arrangements inside a scarcity-based mentality but how can you make these arrangements if humanity as a whole is not really capable of rationality as the Left tries to conjure that it can? Of course one rationale is the purging of things like religion and "superstition". There is a reason why Marx described religion as an opium of the masses. This is part of what I just mulled about regarding this.

I have to sleep and get ready for part of my growing list of grounding activities tomorrow: meeting two best friends as we scheduled it to be, once a month. And for November, it's going to be November 15, 2015. It's originally yesterday but my friend requested that it be moved. Thankfully, this allowed me to visit Mr. Healer, since his schedule of healing is during Wednesdays and Saturdays.

There is another thing that I want to add. I am ready to reveal my name, or at least my nickname. Wade actually knows it privately, even my full name and my picture. This might not be my real name but I don't think I am that important of a person that bad things suddenly happen to me, orchestrated by Godzilla or somebody that stumbled to this forum and happened to figure out my identity and he/she spreading the word to people that I know incidentally or something like that. Godzilla may be watching me silently anyway now, probably even from the time I started browsing Wade's site regularly at the very least. Or it could be just from the time I started posting here. Even worse, I am a radical leftist or at least I have a background from the radleft. There is nothing secret for Godzilla in this world right now, if he wants to know about it. So, yeah. I do understand though that it's my social circle that I have to be concerned more than Godzilla but I don't think I am as paranoid as I am here before. So yeah, I am taking the possible risks associated with me revealing my nickname. Hahaha. Maybe it's just a nickname but I've posted a lot of my background here, at least I think it's a lot, my educational background most importantly. People might be able to connect the dots. There is at least a remote chance. If there are people to begin with that happens to do it. But I am no longer as afraid as before. I am not going to be a target. At least not yet. So, I am ending this post and future posts using my nickname.

It's time for me to sleep. Thank you very much for reading.

Thanks,

Hi SL (AKA Serg):

I have to laugh. Almost nothing for months, and then an avalanche. :) I don’t have that much time to respond, but if you wanted to put a label on Wade’s World, neo-Fullerian might fit. If Bucky (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) was alive today, I think that he could have written something very much like my big essay. But the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will largely be about the abolition of all of today’s ideologies, rooted in scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) as they are. You have glimpsed what that means, and you are very perceptive, and being grounded while navigating those ideas is essential. Boy, have I seen people crash and burn who only brush up against Wade’s World.

If I put a dent in your confidence in the medical system (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), all I can say is that the Western medical system is great for emergency medicine, but usually worse than worthless for chronic diseases, as all they do is treat symptoms with their knives and drugs. There is a lot to psychic healing and the like, and I have dabbled in it enough (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research) to know how real it is. It can’t hurt, especially when you get it for free. For chronic conditions, diet and lifestyle are the greatest remedies that I have seen, but I am definitely a layman (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#disclaimer).

You don’t need to be paranoid about Godzilla. He is not going to trouble himself with you. I have been on the global stage for a generation, and yes, he called in the air strike on us (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), which I somehow survived, but nobody dealing with me needs to be concerned that they are on the hit list. If I am doing fine, nobody that I deal with needs to be afraid of Godzilla. My experience is that when he shows up, he first sends his silver-tongued minions, and their shtick only works on the dishonorable. People are anonymous on the Internet primarily because they fear being held accountable for their statements, and for work like mine, they are afraid of how their social circles will react, and if they fear Godzilla, they are naïve and paranoid, because they are not in that kind of danger. I am glad that Bill and the Avalonians keep the trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) at bay, but the risk to those who interact with me, from Godzilla, is non-existent. If my effort garners some success, it will attract all sorts of the wrong attention, but I have designed what I am doing to be hard to crack with the usual tools.

I am not saying that capitalism is the best Fourth Epoch political-economic system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), but neither are the others (communism, socialism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc.). All of them only slice the deck of scarcity in different ways, and the problem is scarcity, not how the slices are divvied up, but yes, in a world of scarcity and fear, asking the masses to engage in enlightened interactions with each other and Earth is a tall order. Humanity has virtually never achieved it. Capitalism might be the most inefficient one of all, ironically, as monopolies and gangsterism dominate. What I encountered during my days with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) was capitalism on steroids, and you are right, in that the Left is oblivious to that reality, so they are not in touch with reality, as their ideology overrides reality. All ideologues do that, and their sacred assumptions are always rooted in the scarcity assumption, and almost always the victim’s orientation (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness).

Best,

Hi:

I find myself driven to comment on current events, which I don’t do very much of anymore. There has been saturation coverage of the mass killings in Paris in the USA’s media. When I spent two months in Europe when I was 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe), I was there only about a week when I had a “free” day in Paris, and I walked from Notre Dame (where our hotel was) to the Eiffel Tower (the Louvre is on the way between them). When I planned to take my wife to Europe a couple of years ago (it did not work out, and losing my job while taking that break to write my big essay), at the top of the list was Paris and retracing that walk. Paris was the only European city that I visited that I wanted to return to, and I hope to make that walk again before I meet my maker.

What we call France today has been slaked with blood many times in the human journey. When behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) left Africa and conquered Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit), the only fly in the ointment was southern Europe, today’s France and Spain in particular, as humans drove Neanderthals to extinction in what has been called a “range war” (and there will be a contingent that will forever argue that humans were not responsible for it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal)). The Neolithic Expansion into Europe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#maledna) was also genocidal, as hunter-gatherer men disappeared from the gene pool, as they did wherever agriculture appeared. Rome’s expansion into what was called Gaul in those days was anything but gentle, as Rome ruthlessly deforested the region. Rome moved its metallurgy and glassworks to today’s Germany (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romanconservation) and England (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#romaniron), as the southern forests were decimated.

In the High Middle Ages, Europe took shape as a cohesive entity for the first time, and Church-led Crusades into Islamic lands was its signature behavior. As Europe began battling Islam, Viking descendants invaded the British Isles from today’s France (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conqueror), and a few centuries later, England and France began a series of wars that lasted a century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englandwars), and a few centuries after that, they competed in conquering the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#english), and my family name and heritage reflects those battles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hadrian). My family name is French, derived from the word strawberry, as my ancestors likely picked strawberries for a living.

Returning Crusaders brought non-Catholic strains of Christianity with them, and today’s Southern France was Europe’s most cosmopolitan place (after Christian armies began conquering Islamic Spain (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toledo)), it embraced one of those ancient faiths, and the pope called for a Crusade on France (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#cathar), to eradicate that religion, which depopulated entire regions.

France was always runner-up in the imperial sweepstakes to England, which was first out of the chute to industrialization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#french), which was why it dominated, but France got vengeance after losing the first “world war” to the British, when it helped its most successful colonies revolt (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#fathers), and I live in the resulting nation today. After nearly a millennium of warfare and imperial competition, France and the UK carved the Ottoman Empire into a series of puppet states, so that they could control the newly-important oil that the region was rich in (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). The peoples of that region have not enjoyed their de facto independence ever since. Everything that happens there is all about the oil, and it takes a carefully cultivated ignorance to think anything else (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). The first “king (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal_I_of_Iraq)” of Syria was an outright French puppet whom they threw away (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#churchill), and the British then used him to become Iraq’s first “king.” France has anything but clean hands in what is happening in Syria today, and the USA’s invasion of the region, toppling regimes to put in American-oil-company-friendly ones, has been a catastrophe for the region’s people, and is directly responsible for the waves of refugees currently besieging Europe.

Don’t count on the Western media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) to have any consideration of those dynamics, as the desperate people (AKA “terrorists”) go after Western “soft targets” and are called demonic killers, and no attempts will be made to understand their motivation and reflect on the West’s responsibility for those events. Of course, what happened in Paris was terrible, but it was nothing more than a day at the office in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and other nations that the USA and its buddies helped destroy. You could give France some points, such as not supporting the invasion of Iraq (which led American politicians to engage in the gambit of renaming French fries “Freedom fries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fries),” in idiocratic American style), but their hands are simply too dirty in the Middle East to feign much innocence.

Hi:

One vision in my essay is mining asteroids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining), sterile planets, moons, and Kuiper belt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt) bodies, to meet all of humanity’s material needs, so that Earth is never raped again to obtain them. The idea was not entirely original with me, as Brian O helped pioneer the idea’s feasibility in his Princeton days (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill), but FE takes its potential up by orders of magnitude. Yesterday, I saw something on the subject (http://theantimedia.org/senate-quietly-passes-bipartisan-bill-to-allow-conquest-of-space/) that is a little less noble. Stuff like that is a projection of the capitalist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), scarcity-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), greed-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) mentality. It will go away in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), just like so many other relics of the human journey, such as that exalted institution of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Greed and megalomania (look how much there still is to own! :) ) are not humanity’s highest states, but in a world of scarcity and fear, they are exalted as necessary and even salubrious aspects of our cultures.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I just returned from my bonding time with friends and we are going to meet again next month. We all do different work and one of them works on a graveyard shift. But it's fine. :) I think I really feel better now after that trip to Mr. Healer and the effects of that last "avalanche", as Wade put it. It's great to be able to create some sort of connection with people here, with all of you addressing me with my name, rather than an alias. It makes our discussions and conversations here more personal as if I am just talking with friends vocally. I actually plan to write something about current events too, and the latest terrorist attack in Paris is one of them, but I guess Wade beat me into it. There's one event though which I can talk about and I can relate to the publication of the 5,000 page Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which is the meetings of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum here in the Philippines this year, culminating with a series of big meetings to be attended by major world leaders this week in Manila. My route to work is actually affected by this, given the major road closures that will happen starting tomorrow. The good thing is that I will be able to enjoy the 2 day holiday for private companies scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday since I am still in the training phase of my work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APEC_Philippines_2015
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership

APEC has been founded in the late 1980s mostly out of US lead fears of Japanese domination of the Asia-Pacific region and the US wouldn't have any of it. This is during the height of the Japanese economic golden age before the Lost Decades. Even though the Philippines is not a signatory to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, at least not yet, given these news updates...

http://www.philstar.com/business/2015/10/08/1508233/philippines-should-join-tpp
http://www.philstar.com/opinion/2015/08/06/1485054/philippines-will-join-tpp

....I think it's expected that the TPP will become a major topic of discussion in this current summit given the recent publication of the 5,000 page TPP. As argued by leading activists largely from the Left, which I think is totally correct, this is going to become a major economic disaster, though not exactly for the side of the global elite. There are counterparts of the TPP that are currently being negotiated like Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TPIP) and the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) covering other parts of the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_Trade_and_Investment_Partnership
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Partnership_Agreements

We are already reaching that point of corporate globalization wherein the global elites is trying to squeeze as much as it can before another big crash from which the planet as a whole may never truly recover. After all, the world didn't actually recover from the 2008 crisis. And there were warning signs all over the place as argued by Wade here and by many economists like Richard Wolff.

I'd rather have APEC here in Manila right now having world leaders discussing the future of humanity through global disclosure and introduction of a free energy revolution. That will be a site to see. And I am going to be extremely proud that this part of the world became the place from where the Fifth Epoch sprang up. But I doubt it. Steven Greer talked before of a secret summit of world leaders regarding UFO and FE disclosure in eastern Australia where he briefed them all, receiving mixed reactions from these world leaders. I think it's back in 2010. I think I am starting to become really convinced that the prospects of a FE revolution might really come from the grassroots and never from the top. After all, these world leaders are not even really part of the top of the food chain here on Earth. It will be great to have Godzilla itself doing the disclosure and I believe we should all welcome that, despite of all our resentments and misgivings to this monster. We all played a part in the FE conundrum and yes, I don't think Godzilla is primarily at fault. But it definitely played a major part too. But we gave our share.

Thanks,

Serg

Hi:

I just also want to take note of my recent number pattern experiences. I just realized that I've been texting to numbers 5555 for more than a month now everyday so I can get my daily mobile data for Internet usage and I just also saw a repetitive number pattern on a license plate again. I forgot the number. I think it's 333. It's very interesting really. But Mr. Healer said that I should not concern myself too much about this. But I find it hard to ignore. I just want to tell you all.

I also want to say that I made the conclusion that capitalism, however inefficient it is, is the best economic system that humanity can establish in the Third Epoch is because of my own questions about how rational, intelligent and sentient humanity is. And if we are only semi-sentient at best, then all we can come up based on our nature can really only be capitalism. It doesn't matter that it's not really good and it's not really efficient at all, contrary to its worshippers. It's just the best that humanity as a species can come up. In that sense, they are right that capitalism reflects human nature more accurately than socialism, communism or anarchism.

It's time to sleep for me. Bed time.

Thanks,

Serg

Hi:

Back to energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus). Humanity has a herd animal heritage, going back at least to monkeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), which engage in crude forms of human politics. Herd behaviors are pre-sentient (monkeys cannot pass the mirror test (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mirrortest), for instance), but the earliest elites took advantage of them to manage and milk the human herd for elite benefit, and from the very beginning, it meant skimming the energy surplus of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). That surplus was always thin in agrarian civilizations, and the vast majority of the workforce (generally more than 90%) was devoted to back-breaking farming. What we call freedom today was largely confined to the elite, and social structures were very rigid. There simply was not enough surplus energy to fund much freedom. To this very day, all Third (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) and Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) human societies are controlled and skimmed by elites. There are no pure Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) societies remaining on Earth, so there is not one society on Earth that is not subject to elite control. Elites will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) and they know it, hence the ultra-elites’ prodigious efforts to suppress and control the technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) that will make them obsolete, FE chief among them.

Brian O began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience) after five years of playing the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and I sadly understood his question. I call humanity a semi-sentient species; the potential is there, although humans rarely achieve it. When people regurgitate their conditioning into scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), they are not manifesting sentience, but acting as little more than trained monkeys (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#columbian) as they defend their in-group status (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), because they live in fear and scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). When people’s horizons of awareness do not extend past their immediate self-interest, they arguably have yet to become sentient, or at least reach a level of sentience where they can help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

About the most important act of sentience that I have encountered is when people begin to awaken from their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), and people who have yet to awaken are not suitable for what I am attempting. It also does no good to judge their state (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) (and it has little to do with “intelligence,” but is a matter of the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69)), and they won’t begin to awaken until the means to end all in-group statuses are delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). Only then will they begin to understand and start relinquishing their herd conditioning, and humanity may then become a truly sentient species. I believe that it can happen fairly quickly. We all have the biological equipment for it. Those over 30 may never quite relinquish their scarcity-based conditioning in their lifetimes, but their offspring can.

Average Americans enjoy the equivalent of hundreds of slaves working for them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), and the average American enjoys amenities that the world’s richest man of three centuries ago could not even imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine4). Similarly, in the Fifth Epoch, the average person (which will be everybody on Earth, as there will no longer be energy scarcity) will live a lifestyle that makes Bill Gates seem a pauper. It is all about the energy surplus, and today’s industrial societies generate more than 20 times the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) than the most advanced agrarian societies did (and feeding machines that energy surplus is ten times more efficient in producing work than feeding a human). That is the reason for the relatively high standard of living enjoyed in industrial cultures.

What we call religion today seems to have begun with behavioral modernity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap), and peoples who never “progressed” beyond the hunter-gatherer phase gave us a glimpse into the human past, and the hunter-gatherer religion was comprised of singing and dancing rituals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing) that inculcated in-group “cohesion” so that tribes could prevail against their neighbors in warfare, as they battled over the thin energy resources of their territories. There was a brief Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) as humanity conquered Earth, but once the easy meat was rendered extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) the good times were over and it was back to battling one’s neighbors, trying to exterminate them and take their territory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate), which is a behavior that goes back to chimps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). Little was sentient about it.

When the easy meat was gone, in a few places on Earth conducive to it, women began domesticating plants as an adjunct to their gathering duties (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), and the Third Epoch began. It generated an energy surplus like never before, and Earth’s human carrying capacity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1) under agriculture was hundreds of times what it was under the hunter-gatherer methods of energy production. In those early horticultural societies, humanity had another short-lived golden age, when women’s status rose because of their energy contribution, and many such societies became matrilineal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mississippian), which was a first in the human line going back at least ten million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). Matrilineal societies broke up the gangs of male relatives, and such matrilineal societies are the human journey’s most peaceful preindustrial ones. All pristine civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1) arose from those horticultural societies, and those civilizations all had peaceful beginnings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacefulagriculture). It was only when villages became cities that men took over and women’s status declined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), where it remained for the remainder of the Third Epoch, until the demographic transition of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). The rise of cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) also marked the rise of elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), who began appropriating the energy surplus of civilization. It was very thin compared to industrial civilization, but it was still the greatest in the human journey to that time.

Elites only had regional control, and all early civilizations collapsed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), because they did not have sustainable energy practices. The forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) and soils (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#salination1) that fed early civilizations were quickly ruined, and the civilizations collapsed. But when Europeans accomplished the unprecedented feat of turning the world’s oceans into a low-energy transportation lane (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), they quickly conquered Earth and unleashed the greatest demographic catastrophes in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2). Only then could elites begin to think in global terms, and I believe that the ultra-elite groups that we encountered (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) on our FE quest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) had their roots in Europe’s conquest of Earth. England tapped a new energy source (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse) in an unprecedented manner during that conquest, and quickly became Earth’s premier imperial power (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imperial) as the Fourth Epoch began. The energy surplus in the Fourth Epoch dwarfed the Third’s, and the ideologies and institutions of the Third Epoch quickly began waning, such as the hallowed institution of slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Wealth never before dreamed of began to be attained by a new class of elites (eventually called capitalist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists)), and they quickly rose to dominate humanity. The most important of them you have never heard of. Bill Gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates) is just a boy with his toys, compared to the people who really call the shots (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal) on Earth.

The religions of the Third Epoch justified elite status and were concocted and managed by the professional priesthood (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1). Few accounts in the Third Epoch’s “sacred (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tales)” texts are faithful renderings of actual events, but something akin to fairy tales. The capitalist rising class also had fairy tales concocted about them by the Fourth Epoch’s equivalent of the court historian, and those fantasists are called economists today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists). The dominant school of economic thought today was funded by history’s greatest energy mogul (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool), and energy was made invisible as economic theory became obsessed with money and exchange, not with what produced it all. It is very understandable to engage in “conspiratorial” musings about that situation, and some of the grimmest scenarios may well be true to a significant degree. But the masses have enabled it from the beginning, as they do today, focusing on their immediate self-interest to the exclusion of all else, as money and not energy marks the horizon of their awareness.

The religion of the Fourth Epoch is materialism and it comes in different guises (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), but its essence is the same, whether it underlies capitalism or the paradigm that mainstream science operates under. It is as false a religion as those of the Second and Third Epochs are, but no religious fanatics of any Epoch are ever dissuaded from their faith, and they concoct all manner of irrational and self-serving arguments to bolster their beliefs. That is primarily what Brian encountered on his ride as the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and variations of those reactions are what I eventually categorized as the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) reactions that about 99% of humanity engages in whenever they hear of FE, as all that they can see is the end of their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) status. In that regard, they are acting no differently from macaques (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). All of the failed approaches to manifesting FE technology in the public sphere (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) have fear and scarcity in common. I no longer think that any such approaches have a prayer in today’s world, which led me to my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The energy surplus of the Fifth Epoch is unimaginable to people mired in the Fourth and Third, and the transformations will end the world as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), which all of those people in fear and denial realize at some level, which is why their reactions can be so violent. People living in fear cannot help with what I am doing. Only people living in love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) can. Love and FE are joined at the hip in more ways than one.

I am going to poke a few holes in the Fourth Epoch’s religion in the next post, which will wind down these energy surplus posts.

Best,

Wade

Wade,

I thought you might find the Mark Mccandish story interesting. In case you aren't familiar with the story, I'll provide a link: https://vimeo.com/133170463
When it comes to FE pioneers, the list of casualties (suspicious deaths) is quite long. Have you ever tried to
apply a statistical analysis as proof of causation?

[Wade Frazier]

Hey Serg (AKA SL):

Yes, all such “free trade” agreements are there to serve the interests of the elite, and all are disasters for the lower classes, as Earth is being turned into a global plantation. Have fun with the elite meetings. Whenever American presidents come to the cities where I live or work, they blockade traffic and other niceties. About a decade ago, when Bush came to town, the streets outside my office were filled with protestors, with some very colorful signs. It is more low-key when Obama comes, but airports kind of shut down while the president’s plane comes and goes. Kind of a hassle. I marched next to the former Washington governor the night before those WTO talks in Seattle in 1999 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Seattle_WTO_protests), marching for forgiving Third World debt to First World nations, and we marched right up to the barricades and police on horses. The next day was the pepper spray and tear gas, and I am glad that I missed it.

I understand your musings on capitalism, which exalts greed and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed). That is one hell of a thing to base a system and attendant ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists) on. Was it the best that humanity could muster in this Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4)? Maybe. But such systems are human constructs, not forces of nature, and they can be deconstructed, too, and if enough of us muster the integrity and sentience to get humanity over the hump to the Fifth Epoch, all ideologies and institutions of the Third and Fourth Epochs will become obsolete.

You are perceptive and wise to accept that all of humanity bears responsibility for this situation, not just those bad ol’ elites. Until we own it, we cannot change it.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

Hi Fiber:

You mean like that statistic that Democratic politicians are about ten times as likely to die in private plane crashes as Republicans? :)

Many years ago, I got tired of hearing of scientists and engineers working for the MIC, on classified projects, who got into trouble, in one way or another, playing with exotic technologies, stumbling into areas where they shouldn’t have, etc. Most of the incidents I am aware of happened in California, and I don’t think it was just because I lived there. A lot of that stuff is true (I grew up around enough of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#justify3)), but many wild yarns have also been spun by charlatans. My email in-basket fills up with wild and almost certainly bogus tales. Those who stumbled into the mire usually did it innocently, such as Mark’s adventures (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and anybody who has played on the high road (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) encounters those hazards. I don’t make it a point to collect such stories, and neither did Brian, but the stories could become monotonous, of FE inventors having untimely deaths (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). Others have assembled the tales.

But, really, violence is Godzilla’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) last resort, not his first, especially since about 1990. His bag of tricks is deep and sophisticated, and he has honed his chops into a science, and most who he messes with do not even realize that they were messed with (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#risk), even those subjected to murder attempts. It took Brian years to understand what his near-fatal incident was all about (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), which shortened his life.

The fact is that there have been many, many untimely deaths in FE circles, and few on the high road think that it is just a statistical anomaly, as we all had to deal with events like those. It is no fun, let me tell you. I have not been subjected to a murder attempt myself and don’t want to, and if those who get involved with me don’t go rushing off half-cocked to “do something,” they should be fine. Godzilla won’t be able to stop a stampede of sentient lambs, with the emphasis on sentient. :)

Time for chores.

Hi:

Time for another public service announcement. I have been on my energy journey for more than 40 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), after being raised to be a scientist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and I burned up my life doing it. Most people cannot even believe that the experiences of my life were real, even though they are heavily documented (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier). I should not have survived my adventures with my sanity intact, and for a while, I thought that maybe I was insane, but finally realized that I was one of the few sane people in an insane world. Genius is a close cousin to insanity, and I watched geniuses go insane from the kinds of stresses that accompanied my journey.

Very early in my journey, the potential of FE began to become clear to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202), and it is not easy territory to navigate and keep one’s ego reigned in (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260). Delusions of grandeur beckon (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur), and FE aspirants regularly get carried away and announce that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), etc. As I recovered from my life-risking and life-wrecking adventures, I began studying (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books) why the world I encountered was so starkly different from the one that I was raised to believe in. I can now see that I was groping toward a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), which did not finally crystallize until I read some of Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), which began a decade of study, in my “spare” time, in preparation for writing my big essay, which damaged my career to write and probably cost me a million dollars or so.

After carrying Dennis’s, Brian’s, and other greats’ spears for many years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), I finally admitted that our approaches did not stand a chance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), no matter how well-intended we were, no matter how heroic we were (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). I decided to take the lamb’s path, not the warrior’s, and I am devoting the rest of my life’s “spare” time to that pursuit. All I am really interested in is building that choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and that means deep discussion of the material in my big essay. There are thousands of topics to choose from (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/7-The-BIG-Essay-Energy-and-the-Human-Journey-Where-We-Have-Been-Where-We-Can-Go), and my presence at Avalon and Scott’s forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/57-Terms-of-Membership?p=280&viewfull=1#post280) is for the public to contact me, and for those that are interested that can try out for the choir, but I have some very specific requirements (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/57-Terms-of-Membership?p=76&viewfull=1#post76).

The FE field has been in state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) since before I was born, dominated by scientists, inventors, and their promoters, and I am doing something different. I am approached all the time, and I really mean all the time, by people thinking that they can enlighten me about the state of the FE milieu, that they have some bright idea that nobody ever thought of for making FE happen (which are only variations of the same tired approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)), and they nearly invariably dump their baggage of scarcity in front of me, thinking that it will help abundance manifest. I am not interested in any of that, but that is almost all that I ever get.

Only those who can raise their games way up can run with me. I am not expecting them to master the material that I have presented, but they need to try, and I am aware of some who are. My Avalon and Spectrum threads could become a place to have discussions of my material by people who want to remain anonymous, can’t quite hit the notes, but who may become one of the 100,000 or so (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) who will “do something.” There are going to be many levels of participation, but I have to be very picky on who joins my choir, especially in the beginning, or it will fall off the tracks immediately, as people grind their axes of scarcity and fail to hit the notes I seek. For what I am attempting, it is all about hitting the notes, for any chance for my approach to succeed. I am not the only game in town, and others are trying other approaches, and some have something going for them, but until something like a choir forms, none of them have a prayer.

Best,

Wade

Hi Serg:

I agree that looking to the retail elites to help is folly. Those doors have been banged on thousands of times. I don’t look for Godzilla to “help,” either. There are no easy answers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), some hero who is going to save the day (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), etc. Those are all seeking the easy way out. For what I am doing to have a chance, the people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) have to do the work.

Hi:

I finally decided to "beautify" my account here for a little bit. I've even attached a signature with links to my two big posts before! For those who haven't seen them yet, maybe you can check it out. :)

I don't have time for something constructive to say to your responses Wade. I'm sorry. I am too....tired. I just want to say that it's a great day for the ordinary Filipino! I am indeed "having fun with the elite meetings"! Arggh. I am not in a good disposition to share my experience that much, but I guess the links that I can give you can tell you all everything. The first link has tons of Twitter reactions of commuters, and they're mostly in English so you can all understand their frustrations. I don't have a Twitter account but I have a Facebook page....still this is where I am going to post my experience.

http://www.philstar.com/news-feature/2015/11/16/1522502/apectado-traffic-sends-filipino-commuters-monday-walkathon
http://www.mb.com.ph/apec-related-traffic-irks-commuters/
http://www.wheninmanila.com/woman-gives-birth-on-street-due-to-heavy-apec-traffic/
http://www.mb.com.ph/look-traffic-in-the-metro-due-to-apec/

#APECtado is sort of a wordplay for "apektado" or affected in English. Well, A LOT of people are affected by the damn thing, just for the benefit of this get together of certain people that can't do anything for the suffering of the planet anyway. They don't have much power to do anything unfortunately so we can't blame Obama and co.

Manila already has one of the worst traffic jams in the world. That's true. We're among the top. And now...THIS!

In a way, I kinda enjoyed the ride home, at least in the beginning. I don't know why. Seeing all the people walking.... People doing things together and helping each other out. It's a bit fun to be a little unorthodox in finding a way to go home and just get out of Metro Manila. After getting out of Manila, it's an easy ride home. But getting stuck in Manila traffic is a mess. And it's indeed a mess. I have to take a local cycle rickshaw or "pedicab" as it's called here since the local jeepneys are all full of passengers. This is after I took a short ride in a local tricycle. This journey is just 30 minute ride by jeepney... by this one:

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6xzVEXM5bFJ0YV6uX6m3NdxqLacTEVR6LopBunkopgofe_T5WDw

BUT.....

.....It took me 1 and a half hour through these:

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkvRKNBkKIraxTBz8WqFoLQWeZSxMDmjj4IG_0meWuBeeDmA2IGQhttps://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTdYua4I4rlRxzxp30QBlQDwJ2ppq5sMHWoSiq3Q4OiiyO2pR6S

The bus terminal going south of Manila is empty! I don't have to go there. People already told me. Goodness. I got out of office at 7pm. I arrived home at 11:00pm. Beautiful. And this is using the "shortcut"!

As you can notice, I don't have a car or a private vehicle so I am just an ordinary commuter using our Third World transportation system. It's fine. But today's just not that day. I finally get frustrated when it took me 1 and a half hour just to get out of the outermost part of Metro Manila because roads going out were suddenly being closed due to heavy traffic in them. It got me frustrated in the end. The usual 1.5 hour journey became 4 hours. Back in the morning, it took me 3 hours to get to work.

But then again, there's a side of the experience that I've appreciated and it's the way I saw people got together and helped each other and everything. I gave some additional money to the rickshaw driver. I gave a tip. He really tried hard to get me and another commuter to our destination and bypass the heavy traffic. It's a long ride. Thank goodness that I don't have work by Wednesday and Thursday, since I am still a trainee and thus, I can become part of those who can enjoy the special non-working days.

It's a very interesting day. And I have to endure another one like this tomorrow. I've made adjustments so I can get to work earlier as well as get home earlier. I hope my plan works. Wish me luck! :)

Thanks,

Serg

Hi:

Back to energy surplus. Life on Earth has played the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus) game for billions of years, but human understanding of it is very recent, and even today, it is really only understood with some sophistication in scientific corners, and even then it has still been generally underemphasized. In biology, species “fitness” has been the emphasis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), while underplaying the understanding that a species’s fitness is all about the energy surplus that it can generate.

Historians have inquired into the collapse of civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) for millennia, and Rome’s collapse in particular (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#antonine) has been an intellectual parlor game, similar to explaining the dinosaurs’ demise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dinosaurextinction2). But once scientists began studying collapsed societies, the decline in energy surplus became evident for all of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroidecline), although there is still plenty of bickering (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tainter) on the cause of the surplus decline, whether it was manmade or not. The manmade-or-not question seems eternal among scientists and scholars, on numerous issues, such as the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), the extinction of Neanderthals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal) and other human species, and civilization collapses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse). Those who argue against human agency (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2) have an inherent conflict of interest, as they are members of the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) known as Homo sapiens, so their work needs to be studied with that in mind, and many of them are obviously grinding ideological axes under the rubric of science and scholarship. Those who argue against human-induced Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) are almost all Hydrocarbon Lobby shills (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold) or their dupes.

Right after having my paradigm crystallize after reading Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), I encountered the Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), and not only were they the first group that I had encountered that made energy the central issue of civilization, but they were also among the most entrenched Level 3s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) that I had yet encountered, and I was able to finally generalize what I had witnessed for many years, what people such as Brian O encountered (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) as he played the Paul Revere of FE, and why all the doors that were knocked on by FE activists were slammed in their faces: everybody was addicted to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation). Or perhaps more accurately, they were addicted to their dysfunctional adaptations to scarcity, and they all saw FE as a great, malevolent threat to their existence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). As Brian said, everybody digs in their heels, protecting their turf from the “threat” of FE. After more than 30 years of my energy journey, I put those thousands of reactions that I witnessed into a framework (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#chart), as a kind of shorthand, to make the discussion easier.

I encountered another aspect of the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) reactions, which was conscious human agency in the suppression of FE. I lived through the organized suppression, more than once (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and it was not until after I resumed my science studies in preparation for writing my big essay that I was finally able to see what all the denial reactions to organized suppression had in common, as well as those who obsessed on the organized suppression as if it explained everything: thinking like victims instead of creators (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), which was rooted in fear. Love is the answer, always (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). It was also about then that I saw that the materialistic assumptions of the paradigm that mainstream science operated under were the basis for a religion. It is a “reasonable (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle)” religion and appeals to the “smart,” but nevertheless rests on a false foundation, just like other organized religions. Scientists are indoctrinated into that religion on their first day of class, and that indoctrination, just like all indoctrination, will usually last for the lifetimes (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#scientific) of those who drink that Kool-Aid. There are too many inducements to keep drinking it, and penalties for failing to.

Brian O and Rupert Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firstlaw) respected the process of science, while acknowledging its limitations, as I also do (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). It was the materialistic dogmas of science that they had/have a problem with, which the greatest scientists also had a problem with (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#real).

According to the precepts of materialism, consciousness is nothing more than the byproduct of brain activity. Everybody that I respected in the FE field had a mystical awakening, and that awakening falsified the materialistic models of consciousness that mainstream science operates under. That awakening never came from a received teaching or literature review, but through direct personal experience. Brian O had his mystical awakening five years after I did (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote), performing the same exercise. That awakening opens many doors of perception, and one of which is that materialism is clearly seen as just another belief system that rests on a false foundation. Brian’s awakening came relatively late, when he was nearly 40. Most of my fellow travelers had it when they were in their late teens or early 20s. They also were almost all scientists or scientists-in-training, and their awakening usually ruined them as mainstream scientists, as they no longer knelt at the same pews as other scientists did.

Brian embarked on a journey of discovery after his awakening, exploring the frontiers of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers). Early in that exploration, he co-hosted a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) and subsequently nearly lost his life at the hands of the USA’s military. His health never recovered and the incident shortened his life. As Brian explored the fringes, much more than just materialistic models of consciousness fell apart, but many “hard” aspects of science also fell apart. Brian had been around the block enough times by our meeting with the California governor’s energy advisers (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#governor) that when I began telling Brian about what one of my close friends experienced (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) (another FE revolutionary), Brian’s instant reaction was “So, he got a show from the spooks.” Brian nearly yawned, and he was far more interested in my close relative who was a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia).

What I noticed over the years was that the indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded) begins on the first day of class, and the students rarely learn any differently. The story of Pasteur’s overturning of spontaneous generation theory, taught to all microbiology students on the first day class, is a fairy tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#farley). Not only that, Pasteur’s germ theory of disease, which is the bedrock of a great deal of Western medicine, may well be a poorly understood plagiarism of a contemporary (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) who solved the spontaneous generation riddle several years before Pasteur claimed to. Not only that, in the first half of the 20th century, two optical microscopes that I know of attained resolutions considered “impossible” by today’s optical theory, but they undoubtedly did/do attain them. Micrographs of the first microscope survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), and the second scope can be looked through to this day (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens). Not only did those microscopes achieve “impossible” resolutions that are denied by mainstream science to this day, incredibly, but those microscopes were used to discover similar subcellular dynamics that Pasteur’s contemporary discovered, which calls into question the entire foundation of the germ theory. And to this day, those scientists and their microscopes are denied and attacked by shills from the medical establishment, as they protect the paradigm that feeds them.

Similarly, when Victor Fischer (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer) came forward with his hydraulic heat engine, just as we were building a different hydraulic heat engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), in our pursuit of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#marry), he told me one day that thermodynamics was flawed at its foundation, as Carnot (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#carnot) assumed an ideal gas, and liquid heat engines were ignored ever since.

On attempts to tap the Zero-Point Field (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf) and produce FE, perhaps the most common refrain from the theorists is that the roots of the discipline rest on a faulty interpretation of Maxwell’s equations (http://www.mufon.com/video-testimonies-3/in-1995-ben-rich-ceo-of-lockheed-skunkworks-said-we-now-have-the-technology-to-take-et-home-as-can-be-seen-in-this-video), from the 19th century.

Similarly, economic theory is largely stuck in the 18th century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), using concepts that were developed before the science of energy was developed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil1), and the concept of entropy. That history’s greatest energy mogul (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) funded the very school of thought (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool) that dominates the economics profession today, in which energy is made invisible and assumed away in favor of social theories of markets and money, may well not be some benign coincidence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economy3).

Over and over again, predominant disciplines, including scientific ones, rest on very shaky foundations that are often centuries old, and what I have seen is that the data that invalidates the foundations are not carefully considered, then perhaps discarded, but are instead derided and dismissed using faulty and even fraudulent “logic,” as entire economic empires have been on those shaky foundations, and everybody digs in and protects their turf. Those scientific pioneers usually have their lives wrecked or worse, as they weather attacks from the Establishment.

I found that those ideological straightjackets were the same thing that Noam Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) has explored in detail in his media analyses (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), in that once the self-serving assumptions are swallowed, ideologues can then go on their merry way, licking the boots of their patrons and truly believing that they are thinking fairly and freely. It is the most effective and insidious form of mind control, as the most imprisoned do not even realize that they are in prison. The public relations industry has turned that practice into a science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays), and Earth’s most brainwashed people are Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#propaganda), but they think that they are Earth’s freest people. They have the illusion of freedom, not its substance. For instance, there has never been a free market in world history, and especially in the energy industry, as I discovered the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle), but American ideologues constantly rhapsodize about the magic of free markets. It is like discussing the virtues of unicorns.

In summary, the energy surplus of organisms, species, ecosystems, and civilizations defines their viability, and the greater the energy surplus generated in humanity’s Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), the greater the cognitive and social feats, and the more humane they became. It all rides on the energy surplus. It always has and always will, and FE will enlarge humanity’s energy surplus to levels that beggar today’s imaginations, and humanity will become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). My choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) idea is about moving people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) up that cognitive curve, so that they can see the forest from the trees, can keep their focus on what is important, and help manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). There are a million distractions of the daily circus of life on Earth, but only those who can shut out the noise and focus on what is important can help manifest FE. It is not easy, but I know of nothing more worthwhile.

Best,

Wade

That is one hell of a commute, Serg. An hour each way took it out of me, when I lived in LA, and I have done the hour-each-way commute for several years of my career, driving. With FE, it will be the end of cities as we know them, and nobody will miss their passing.

Hang in there!

I sometimes make a string out of my posts on a theme, and put it in my forum, to make the reading experience less diluted. I just did it for my energy surplus posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287), and my computer posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/85-Computers-and-me?p=292&viewfull=1#post292).

Hi:

Wow, I am now making my 100th post. :)

I just arrived home right now. Well, it's actually two hours before. I'm lucky. I managed to find a way home outside the alternate routes, which happens to be the one most commuters is using on the way to the nearby provinces right now. I found a way to the bus terminal, which happens to have a lot of buses going home! :) And there's no traffic in the coastal expressway since most of the Manila side of it was closed for APEC delegates so most commuters decided not to use the expressway. Most world leaders just arrived today and I happen to saw the convoy of the Mexican delegation going to the airport, probably for the President's arrival, on the way to work in the morning. And there are no traffic jams going to work and back home! Most commuters decided to take the alternate routes, where all the action occurs. I got away from most of it on the way home. But I still have to walk to the terminal. On the bright side, I can take a rest for tomorrow and Thursday.

Protesters and activists started to do their thing today, as the media reported. One of the major social concerns right now involves the "Lumads" or the indigenous tribes of the country, given how the radical Left also has a lot of adherents among their number. The Maoist insurgents also tried to blend in and hide among their number in the mountains. And the military also continued to exploit them. I don't think this is unique to the Philippines. Indigenous tribes have been in great peril facing the harmful effects of globalization. This goes way back actually. The discovery of the New World probably provides the best example.

http://www.rappler.com/thought-leaders/105806-leave-lumad-alone

A group of Lumads just protested in top of one of the buildings alongside the closed coastal expressway and they flew a kite with the words "Junk APEC" in it. They are also protesting because of the continuing issues of corporate grabbing on ancestral land, which the APEC might exacerbate. However, I don't think we can expect something like "the Battle of Seattle" of 1999 here in Manila 2015. The law enforcement seems well-prepared for the protesters. And behind the scenes, I'm sure that they did their job in harassing potential "troublemakers". I certainly don't expect world leaders in the Fifth Epoch to create this kind of disturbance with the incredible costs of these elite meetings being put into the public and Filipino taxpayer for almost nothing, as our civilization faces a continuing extinction crisis. This is all just a waste.

Thanks,

Serg

Hi Serg:

Traffic can be strange during such events. The traffic in the 1984 Olympics (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) was LA’s lightest traffic in the past 50 years. Yes indeed, Europe’s conquest of the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2) was the biggest demographic catastrophe in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), and the sufferings of indigenous peoples continue.

In the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), I doubt that there will world leaders, or if there are, they will have the spiritual authority of a Jesus or Buddha, but they won’t be seeking worldly power. I doubt pretty strongly that the Fifth Epoch will have elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and the city as we know it will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities). There will not be traffic as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot), and the idea of economic exchange will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange). So, I highly doubt that the Fifth Epoch will see elites meet in cities to discuss economic exchange and causing traffic jams. :)

Best,

Wade

I definitely agree with you Wade that the Fifth Epoch might no longer have any elites, or if they are going to be one, they may be spiritual authorities on the level of the so-called "Ascended Masters" like Jesus and Buddha, as you said, and they are not around to seek worldly power. I think I made a speculative post a few months back about this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=958330&viewfull=1#post958330). I remember that I wrote there that it's possible that societies and civilizations of highly advanced beings or HEBs in Neale Donald Walsch's words might have their own councils of elders or guardians "governing" certain jurisdictions. I think that Fifth Epoch era Earth might possess its own planetary council of leaders though much of their responsibilities goes beyond our imagination. These responsibilities might have little to do with "trade", "commerce", "economics" or anything resembling scarcity-based administrative responsibilities dealing with economic exchanges. They are not going to be our traditional politicians and judges and they are not going to be there to issue 2,000 or 5,000 page decrees and agreements. Definitely, they are not going to meet and cause traffic. I don't think there will be any concept of vehicular traffic, because there will not be any cities in the Fifth Epoch. Free energy means that convergences of large populations in small geographic areas to maximize usage of limited energy resources is no longer going to make any sense. "Cities" might mean settlements that are mostly empty where people might occasionally converge and still do certain ceremonial social activities or some activities of significance, whatever it might be. Humans are social beings after all. Politically, even the concept of democracy itself is still scarcity based politics. The need for people to have a choice to bring responsible administrators to manage scarce resources is also no longer going to make any sense if there is more than enough for everybody at their own home. I think the idea of highly advanced spiritual beings becoming the leaders or guardians or counselors for people to go to in the next Epoch is the one that makes more sense. The next epoch of human civilization is definitely post-political and post-capitalist.

Damn, Serg:

You get it better than almost anybody that I have yet encountered. Keep it up.

To All:

Last night, I started to write a post on what I am doing and the problems I have encountered over the years. I am not referring to carrying Dennis’s spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), Indiana Jones-ing, or carrying Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#new) lighter spears, or the years that it took to write my site, but on how unprecedented an effort like mine is, and the unique problems that it encounters.

For each of the previous Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), nobody, not even the inventors, had the foggiest idea what their energy innovations would lead to (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). This will be the first Epochal Event that has premeditation, what we might even call sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), used in making it manifest. I am regularly approached by people of professional standing - scientists, academics, and the like - who state that there is nothing else on Earth like my work, from the visionary aspects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) to the shedding of all in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Of course, statements like those can present challenges to the ego (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260), but what it does for me, other than letting me know that the uniqueness of my approach may have a chance, is put pressure on me to keep what I am doing from falling off the rails, in the many ways that it could.

I came to my approach through a lifetime of life-risking and life-wrecking trial-and-error. I would not wish that journey of discovery on anybody. I should not have survived it with my sanity intact, and if I had not stopped drinking 15 years ago, I might not be here today. But that vision of what might be sustained me through the dark years, and my approach has largely been developed by seeing what did not work. Making mistakes, learning from them, and cleaning up our mess is what life on Earth is all about, but making the same mistakes over and over, failing to learn the lessons of them, characterizes the FE milieu today, with the same dogged approaches to failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) tried ad naseum, almost without any superficial variation, as the FE field stays in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested). Almost everybody I have ever encountered, who did not have a denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) or fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) reaction to the idea of FE, offered their bright ideas for making FE happen, which were all variations of those failed approaches. Those approaches are all rooted in scarcity and fear, and a tunnel vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) that does not see the big picture.

Encountering Fuller’s work was revelatory (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) and helped crystallize the paradigm that I had been groping toward for many years, and if Bucky was alive today, I can easily see him writing something like my big essay. People need to develop comprehensive perspectives (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) if they are going to see the big picture and discern the forest from the trees, but I almost never encounter anybody who even tries. Why? Mostly because they don’t care. The horizon of their awareness ends at their immediate self-interest. That was the most important lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and is the best explanation for why all previous FE efforts have failed. The organized suppression was a minor ingredient. Most efforts self-destructed before Godzilla even needed to roll out of bed, and the vast majority of his efforts were really trifling, just tipping over a tower that was already leaning. Keeping it straight, especially when the foundation is being poured, is critical. That is why am taking it slow, being very picky on who can join my forum, telling people that they have to leave their scarcity-based baggage at the door if they want to help (and they almost always disappear), need to practice discernment and not parrot the latest clever work for lay audiences that does not pass scientific or scholarly muster (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=105&viewfull=1#post105), keep it relevant to my task, let go of thinking that they can evangelize to their social circles, and so on.

It not easy to stay on keel when navigating the fringes, and there is a mountain of chaff for every kernel of wheat, and few seem willing or able to practice discernment and winnow the wheat from the chaff, and either dismiss it all, saying that there are no kernels at all (“skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)”), or eat it all, thinking that chaff is wheat (the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)/conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) fringe), and even discarding the wheat in favor of chaff.

Reaching productive understandings of these subjects is like walking the razor’s edge, and the only people who can help with what I am doing have to try. It is OK to fall off the horse, as long as people are willing to climb back up and keep trying. It is the honest trying that is most important, not so much how sharp somebody’s tool is. But it is anything but easy, and people cannot settle for comforting fictions, the seemingly easy way out, and other seductions. I know that I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), people of very rare qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), to help with what I am doing, and that they are going to be rare people is normal. My approach has never really been tried before in world history, and it requires rare people, if it is going to have a chance. The standard approaches are doomed to failure, and the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) are not going to help.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I decided to expand on my previous post and make a series of them. It is on the problems of my approach, but I am going to couch it in a more positive framework, which is what the people with the right stuff for my approach are going to have in common, and I have made that list before (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), but I am going to expand on it in this series of post, and will begin with the first essential quality:


“If your heart is not in the right place, the rest will not matter.”


I learned that one the hard way. It was the most important lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and I resisted it every step of the way until it was beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. Even though my immediate post-graduate adventures (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) were sobering, you could not have convinced me when I was rescuing that hooker (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=911220&viewfull=1#post911220) in 1986 what was ahead of me in the coming few years. If you had told me that the people closest in my life would betray and attack me over the next few years, as I tried to save the world, bring them with me, and even protect them and save their lives, I would not have believed you. Four years later, after the dust settled, my life was shattered and I was radicalized. When I was told that my mother was campaigning against her son the criminal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), I was not even surprised any longer. Human behavior could never shock me again, after my first stint with Dennis, and I recently wrote a series of vignettes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197) that hit the “highlights.”

When I chased Dennis out to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), I had already had key awakening moments (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), but when I became Dennis’s partner, my education really began. Dennis has an incredibly powerful personality, and I lived with him and his family for nearly a year, and he truly believed that the masses were inherently good and wanted to believe in something, but did not have anything worth believing in. In my naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive), I believed him. A decade later, Dennis admitted how wrong he was (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), but he still sifted through humanity’s mine tailings, looking for gold nuggets. He rarely found any.

People whose awareness rarely extends past their immediate self-interest one might say have tunnel vision (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), but my experience is that it is egocentrism and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=260&viewfull=1#post260) that keeps their awareness so focused on their immediate self-interest. They are in it for themselves, and those people quickly betrayed us at the first opportunity. After witnessing a dozen attempts or so to steal our companies, I told Dennis how shocking it was to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), and he told me to join the club.

After I staggered out of my home town (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books) in 1990, radicalized, I began the studies that resulted in my public writings. I soon encountered the work of Noam Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), Ed Herman (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), Howard Zinn (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), and other luminaries of the Left, and they were all among my most gracious correspondents (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm). Their image among the Left was not false: they were/are all extraordinary human beings of high integrity. Around the same time as I discovered their work, I read Ralph McGehee’s memoirs (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), and he was a quintessential example of a Boy Scout who woke up the hard way. Like Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), Ralph nearly did not survive his moment of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon) to the terrible truth of his nation, which he believed so fervently in.

Ralph, like Dennis, had his heart in the right place, and chasing his ideals led him to his devastation realization: he worked for the forces of darkness, not the light. Economic hit man John Perkins (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist) envied the naiveté of those working for him (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#jealous), working for the forces of darkness and thinking that they worked for the light. I eventually understood that the masses cannot even distinguish the darkness from the light, and really don’t want to. They will believe any story, as long as believing in it attends to their immediate self-interest.

I met Brian O the next year (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and five years later, we began to collaborate. Another Boy Scout, literally (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), had been put in my path, almost assuredly by my “friends” who have orchestrated so many of my life’s events. I was able to eventually generalize what I was seeing (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), with all of those overgrown Boy Scouts. They were the only people worth two cents on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257). Many people can talk a good game, but those people lived it, and in ways that Joe Average cannot even begin to comprehend, which is why such saints were often attacked by the mob, while the dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) watched and chuckled, marveling at how easy it was to wipe out the saints, as the mobs eagerly did the dirty work.

I know that people with their hearts in the right place are few and far between, and it is the biggest strike against manifesting FE, with a bullet. Everything else pales to insignificance. I know of nobody on Earth like Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany), and I am certainly not hunting for another like him. I am looking for people more like Ilie (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/75-Ilie-Pandia-s-introductory-posts?p=131&viewfull=1#post131) and Darren (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=124&viewfull=1#post124), who know that they are not heroes, even characterize themselves as “chickens,” but just standing on the global stage with me is more heroic than more than 99% of the population can muster, on the order of one-in-thousands (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). It is a lonely feeling, to know the real numbers, but only people with their hearts in the right place can even begin to help make FE happen.

I have purposely designed what I am doing to be relatively invulnerable to the kinds of plays that I saw on my journey. Making history’s most lucrative technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion), and then giving it away to the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers), is going to be hard to betray for the usual reasons (primarily getting rich).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On to the second quality on my list (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69):


“You have had some kind of awakening experience.”


It is generally conjoined with that first quality, that you heart is in the right place, at least for the awakenings that are going to be helpful for what I am doing. If you have both qualities, it generally means that you are a disillusioned idealist (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=97&viewfull=1#post97). If your heart is not in the right place, you are not going to be an idealist, and that awakening experience is what disillusions idealists.

There are other kinds of awakening experiences, and I will come to a mystical awakening soon, but the awakenings of disillusioned idealists I found to be the most powerful ones. From what I have seen, that powerful awakening can only happen after years and even decades of drinking the Kool-Aid of our indoctrination and conditioning. If you had seen any of us before our awakening moments, you would have called us naïve, and you would have been right. Ralph, Dennis, Brian, Mr. Professor, me – we all were naïve Boy Scouts, and we all had moments of cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) as Kool-Aid met reality.

Ralph’s began in earnest when the CIA cancelled his highly successful intelligence program in Thailand (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#communists), but he was still so gung-ho that he volunteered for Saigon in 1968, which nobody sane did, and by the end of that year, Ralph finally woke up to the evil that he was part of. He nearly did not survive the experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). Ralph came from the protestant Midwest background, the kind that hatched most early astronauts. Mr. Professor was like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon), growing up on a farm in North Dakota. He taught college for a generation before what his star student brought to Ventura woke him up when I did, and very harshly.

You might think that growing up as a migrant farmworker (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis) and being forced into leaving home at age 13 would have beaten out a person’s illusions at a young age, but not Dennis. He had a religious fervor for the American Dream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream) and believed the Horatio Alger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Alger_myth) stories. Dennis was in Vietnam when Ralph was, and Dennis saw combat. But Dennis’s illusions were not shattered in Southeast Asia. He was soldier of the month on his base, and got into fistfights with other soldiers who disparaged the USA. His awakening moment was in a bank lobby, as his American Dream ideals went up in smoke before his eyes. Like Ralph, Dennis nearly did not survive his awakening moment (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice), and Dennis got his mystical awakening in the same event, for a “bonus.” Dennis considers every moment after that to be gravy, as he could have easily pulled that trigger.

Brian had one of those more gradual awakening experiences, after being an Eagle Scout and astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), and protesting the USA’s wars in Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#protest) as an Ivy League professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after). He began to wake up when he got politically active, advising presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) and playing the Capitol Hill game, which wrecked his first marriage. In Princeton’s physics department, (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill) peppered with Nobel laureates, Brian’s pursuit of space colonies and asteroid mining was fringe stuff, but he still drank the scientific establishment’s Kool-Aid, until the day that he had his mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote), performing the same exercise that I did five years earlier, which gave me an early awakening experience. Brian and I had our mystical awakenings before our “real world” awakenings. Brian’s mystical awakening ruined him as a mainstream scientist, but it took him another decade to finally leave the fold, when he was laid off for refusing to work on Reagan’s Star Wars program (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#saic).

When I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), he was just getting his feet wet in the FE milieu, and his gung-ho nature was evident. The next year, he co-hosted a UFO conference and nearly lost his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), immediately after refusing the American military’s “offer” to do classified UFO work. His health never recovered from the incident and shortened his life, but I don’t think that Brian had figured it out yet. His big awakenings were still ahead of him. He did not figure out what happened regarding his “heart attack” for years. He spent the years after his first heart attack traveling the world and visiting dozens of FE labs, which resulted in his Miracle in the Void (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#miracle).

When he published Miracle in the Void and I became his biggest fan, he began his ride as the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere) just as Dennis began barnstorming the USA. I went back to work for Dennis later that year and nearly went to prison for my trouble (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), and Brian rode as the Paul Revere of FE. Five years later, in 2001, soon after I helped discover positive evidence (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#paydirt) that the Apollo moon landings happened as publicly presented (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo), Brian invited me to hang out with him in California and we had what became a fateful meeting (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#governor). I saw an awakened and sobered Brian by that time. He told me how his ride as Paul Revere went: all that he received were reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions). After reciting a litany of crazed reactions to the idea of FE, from the world’s leading scientists, academics, environmentalists, and “visionaries,” Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).

Brian told me about his brush with death (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) in detail, and during our note-trading session, I told him about the underground technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) that one of my close friends and fellow travelers received, and Brian nearly yawned, with his response being, “So, he got a show from the spooks.” Brian was more interested in my close relative who was a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia).

Dennis had survived numerous murder attempts by then and had cheated death dozens of times, but he and Brian still tried to whip up a mass movement in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). I spoke at DOE hearings with Dennis in 1997 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull) and got a sobering reply from the DOE. In 2003, Brian asked me to help him found a non-profit organization to help mount a public awareness effort on FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), and when the first speaker that we lined up for our first conference was murdered a few days later (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), Brian understandably moved to South America and spent the rest of his life there. I stepped down from that organization the day after that conference, and Brian was soon kicked out of that organization, in a mutiny led by the man who replaced me on the board, who is a big name in FE circles.

Brian and I had no contact for years after that fiasco, and I was in the throes of a monster of a midlife crisis, which did not end until Dennis arrived at my home unannounced to invite me to the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) (only about a week before Brian spoke in front of the White House (http://www.brianoleary.info/Return%20To%20Washington%20v2.html)). As I emerged from my midlife crisis, helped once again by trauma professionals (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#therapy), I began studying in earnest for writing my big essay, and Brian came back into my life. He asked me to help him write a proposal to the DOE (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html), just as Dennis was being run out of the USA by the federal government (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872). I wondered what Brian thought that we would accomplish by once again approaching the federal government.

I helped edit his last book and became his biographer, writing his NASA (http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/oleary-bt.html) and Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_O'Leary) biographies. Although Brian and Dennis were both run out of their home nations for their FE efforts, I got the impression that they never quite got all of the red, white, and blue Kool-Aid out of their mouths. In his last book, Brian wrote a chapter on his codependent relationship to my great nation’s capital.

Even with the unbelievable experiences that Dennis and Brian had, they never completely laid aside their nationalistic conditioning (and Dennis is still a religious fanatic). How hard is it for Joe Average to wake up?

All humans are The Universal People (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up), and we all have far more in common than we have differences, and all of us, to one degree or another, are fed the Kool-Aid of various scarcity-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies. The vast majority of humanity never even tries to awaken from them, as drinking the Kool-Aid provides material rewards and egocentric strokes. But until a person has awakened, work like mine is either meaningless or presents a grave threat to their existence.

My awakening was relatively easy, compared to Ralph’s, Dennis’s, and Brian’s. My awakening began when my family went “health nut” when I was 12 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), and my father “impossibly” reversed the hardening of his arteries by adopting a live food diet. I had my mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown) and cultural (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe) awakenings at 16, at the same age as I began having my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). That voice in my head (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) changed my studies from science to business, and began an eight-year period of idealism (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) and disillusion (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting), before I asked that voice for guidance again (for the last time in my life), and it led me straight into Dennis’s company (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), and my wild ride began.

You could not have convinced me what the next few years would hold for me, and the turning point of my life was on the witness stand, as the prosecution made faces at me as I was testifying (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces). For the next month, I had unbidden thoughts of committing murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), which was a nightmare and the lowest part of my journey. Going bankrupt (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bankrupt) was a trifling event, with all else that was happening. Dennis being offered a billion dollars to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), before they lowered the boom, was just part of the terrain of those days. After that black year ended, I decided to do whatever I could, and met another fellow “awakenee” who gave me a dose of reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean) about how the USA’s legal system worked, and his advice was critical in inspiring my next act: sacrificing my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage) to give Dennis a slim chance of living to see this side of the bars again, and it incredibly worked, in the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed.

In 1990, I staggered from my home town (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books), with my life in ruins, but I had been awakened. If not for those adventures and awakening, I truly would not have much worth saying. I am approached by people all the time who have not really been awakened. They might no longer drink all of the Establishment’s Kool-Aid, but they drag the scarcity-based baggage of their indoctrination and conditioning with them, and they think that they understand my work, but they don’t. Some of them resemble how I might have turned out if I had not met Dennis. They are all naïve, to one degree or another. Such people almost invariably offer their “helpful” suggestions on making FE happen, which are all variations of the failed approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that have been tried literally thousands of times. Those approaches are life-risking, and I have buried all the people that I want to (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), as a result of my FE quest.

I have had thousands of interactions with the unawakened on the issues that my writings cover. Some are outright trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) and other assailants (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false), with some being on Godzilla’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) payroll, but most just can’t let go of their baggage, and their perspectives are stunted, safely ensconced within the paradigm (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction) that feeds them, as they cherish their in-group status (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). Almost without exception, they really can’t help much with what I am doing, and they can’t hit the notes needed for joining my choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). They have to have an awakening experience before they are going to be of any use to an effort like mine.

My experience is that people will only wake up through direct personal experience, not via a received teaching or literature review. Nobody is going to wake up by reading my work, for instance. But waking up in the FE milieu is one of the harshest ways to awaken, and I don’t recommend it. There are gentler ways to awaken.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

More on awakening. What does that really mean? People insult each other all the time, with, “Wake up!” But what does it really mean? I am going to give an example from my life, and the media. It is only one of a number of methods of indoctrination and control that Earth’s social managers use, and I’ll sketch the journey of my awakening where the media is concerned.

As I have written plenty, I was a bookworm from the time I could walk (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and was raised to be a scientist from a young age. With the isolation that my parents grew up with, my father married a woman with an IQ about half of his (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=571130&viewfull=1#post571130), so their offspring were either geniuses or “retarded,” with nothing in-between, so the “intelligence” issue has been an enduring one in my family, and I am only the middle member of the family, on that scale.

When I got to school, learning to read was truly effortless for me, and math and science came easily. I was chosen for the first of Johnson’s Great Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society) gifted programs when I was eight, and that continued into high school. By age eight, I was reading substantial books. I won the school spelling bee at age nine, as a fourth grader, the first spelling bee ever held at Junípero Serra elementary school (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra), beating the fifth and sixth graders, and at about age nine or ten, I began reading the daily newspaper (and our encyclopedia was my bedtime reading material, and I read all of the paleontology books (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#trilobite1) in our school library by the fifth grade), and I read the newspaper daily into my 30s. My first newspaper was the Star Free Press, known as The Star (http://www.vcstar.com/) today, published in Ventura, California, where I was raised after we returned from Houston, after my father abandoned the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary) in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire.

I was an athlete from a young age, and I think that I still have newspaper clippings from The Star of my early baseball feats (I was a pitcher), to my later college feats (I was a javelin thrower, not quite world-class, but respectable – I could throw a major-league velocity fastball, probably in the low 90s). When I went off to the university, the LA Times became my daily reading material, and when I chased Dennis out to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), I fasted because it was cheaper than eating, but I still bought the Sunday New York Times. When my parents divorced when I was 20, my mother got a job with the Star Free Press, in the classified department, and worked for them for the next 25 years.

I read a newspaper daily for more than 20 years, thinking that I was getting the truth. When I began my career in LA, I subscribed to the Christian Science Monitor, trying to go a little more upscale in my reading. As I look back, I think that getting the Christian Science Monitor was a reaction to the cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive) that I was experiencing, asking Easter Bunny questions (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing) and working in the hell of Skid Row (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928). I truly thought that I was getting some kind of alternative news by reading the Christian Science Monitor. I had a lot to learn.

My mother gave me the bad habit of watching TV and reading the tabloids (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102) that she brought home each week. I gave up tabloids at age 13, and TV at age 18.

When that voice in my head spoke up for the second time in my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2), when I asked for it (the last time that I asked for it), it landed me right in the middle of Dennis’s company, and my education truly began. Only a few weeks after starting, I watched a TV news smear piece on Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), and that was my first inkling, as I look back at it, that the “news” may not have been about telling the truth. We had a media blackout in Boston, except for a small local paper, while New England’s electric companies were having secret meetings (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#seabrook), to decide what to do about us, and as the local officials were sharpening their axes (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex) on behalf of their patrons, while there was a media blitz to ram a nuclear power plant down the public’s throat (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#coalition).

Then Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Dennis entered into a secret deal, without my knowledge, to move the company to Ventura, and three years later, my life was shattered and I was radicalized. I don’t need to go into chapter and verse on those days (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), but a few media anecdotes are appropriate for this post. The day that we were raided, the local reporter for the Star Free Press arrived, and several of us were standing outside of our buildings as the deputies were illegally ransacking the most important one (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage), and she did not want to hear anything that we had to say, and almost immediately fled the scene. I had woken up enough by then so that I expected a pretty unflattering article in the next day’s newspaper, and I called my mother that evening, to tell her to keep her head low at work and not try to defend her son, lest she lose her job. I did not have to worry. She attacked me on that phone call, refused to talk to me for years after that, and I eventually heard that she collected all of the libelous newspaper articles on us that her employer wrote (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) (never even asking her son for his side of the story), and took it on tour to my friends, family, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal. By the time I heard that, I was wide awake and that news did not surprise me or even hurt, as I was beginning to understand how the world really worked, and being attacked by my parents for trying to save the world was merely part of the scenery.

On my day of radicalization, as I walked into the courtroom, Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy) was holding court with the cub reporter (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#cub) from the Star Free Press, with them both laughing, literally in my face, and blocking my way to the witness stand, barely moving out of the way to let me pass. That was only a warm-up for my Kangaroo Court experience, and the turning point of my life was when Mr. Deputy made faces at me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces) when I was on the witness stand, and when I gave my $2 million answer to the prosecutor’s question (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=199&viewfull=1#post199), Mr. Deputy and Mr. Cub Reporter had a laugh riot (my future wife witnessed it), and my words were in Mr. Cub Reporter’s libelous newspaper article the next day, which was literally dictation from Mr. Deputy. The libelous articles in the Star Free Press continued (until Mr. Cub Reporter was subpoenaed during the prosecutorial misconduct hearing (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#misconduct), and he then wrote the only accurate article that I ever saw – he knew how to do honest journalism, but that was not his job), but the capper was in about February of 1989, about when I sacrificed my life to give Dennis a sliver of a chance (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), and I spent an hour reading an “investigative journalism” article about our company (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180) in the LA Times. When I finished that article, I clearly remember thinking, “They can just make it up as they go.” The article was a series of outright lies and half-truths, from start to finish. That was the moment that I realized that my daily reading of the newspaper for the previous 20 years was digesting a plateful of lies every day.

A year later, while commuting to my job at that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience) (that was almost taken out just like Dennis’s company was), on the radio (my Pinto’s AM radio got only a few stations, and I listened to the talk radio station, and heard Rush Limbaugh for the first time (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=940476&viewfull=1#post940476) – shudder….) was somebody promoting a new magazine titled Lies of Our Times (LOOT), which was about media bias, especially in the New York Times. I was ready for its message. After I moved to Ohio, the first thing I did was subscribe to it, and the first page of the first issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot) is still the one that I remember best. The New York Times just makes it up as it goes, too, with propaganda techniques that Goebbels would have thought were a little heavy-handed.

Getting LOOT was only the first act of my deep dive into media analysis. Ed Herman was LOOT’s editor (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), and Noam Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), whom I only heard of for the first time the previous year, wrote an article in LOOT each month. I correspond with Uncle Ed to this day, and he was happy that I published those pictures from LOOT.

I saw an ad for Ralph McGehee’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm) book in LOOT and bought it, to fateful consequence. But I also read the daily paper, that time the Dayton Daily News, in the city where the world’s premier air force base was, as my great nation began its series of wars in the Middle East, immediately after the Soviet Union collapsed. Brian and I joked about Hangar 18 and the Blue Room as we drove past the Air Force Base’s front gates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), the day we met. Those were the days before the Internet, and I wrote letters to the editor (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jesus) at the newspaper, which were always published, sometimes to Ralph’s amazement (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sunny).

But my wife’s godmother bought her a subscription to Atlantic Magazine, and I read it regularly, and even first heard of Paul Fussell (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#fussell) and Eugene Sledge (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#sledge) in its pages, so even something as mainstream as Atlantic earned a few points, but it was hardly alternative. I even subscribed to Time Magazine that year, and it was educational, in my awakened state, and I wrote more than one furious letter to the editor (they never published those), and I expose some of their racism (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#racism) in my work. I was also reading Unreliable Sources and Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), A People’s History of the United States (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn), subscribed to Covert Action Information Bulletin (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#covert), corresponded with Uncle Noam, and 1992 was the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s feat (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#statue), and I worked in a city (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes) named after him. In 1992, David Stannard (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#stannard) published his American Holocaust, which was really my big wakeup call on what Europe’s “settling” of the Western Hemisphere was really like (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#first).

I was also going deep on scientific topics, such as thermodynamics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#carnot), studying Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) and Victor Fischer’s engine patents (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#fischer), rapidly building my mystical library (I subscribed to channeled magazines for about 20 years), digesting alternative medicine (beginning with Rife (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens), and Medical Dark Ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/mdaq.htm)), and various other topics, but in my awakened (AKA “radicalized” state). Little did I know it, but I was a comprehensivist-in-training, but I didn’t know it until being introduced to Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and my work has ever since been more consciously comprehensive.

What does it mean to be awakened? Your orientation changes, you no longer drink the Kool-Aid, you begin to think for yourself, and see past your conditioning. I have not read a newspaper since the 1990s, and if I want to find out about current events, I know that the American media is not the place to find out, so I read foreign media. I came to understand that Americans are history’s most brainwashed people, sitting in their gilded mental cages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#propaganda), not even realizing that they are in prison, and quite frankly not even caring if they were (http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/), as long as they can live lives of relative comfort, but the wheels are coming off today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), as history’s largest and most prosperous middle class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) is rapidly vanishing, as the USA’s energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287) declines below levels of generations ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert).

When you are awakened, you no longer unthinkingly parrot the assumptions of your in-group ideology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), which is always a set of lies designed to elevate the in-group over the out-group, and then the horrific treatment of the out-group is justified (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). You actually begin to think, not be a cud-chewing member of the herd (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lemmings). It is dangerous to wake up, and I am constantly trying to dissuade FE newbies from evangelizing their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) with the “good news” of FE. The masses will only begin to awaken when FE and the means of abundance (and the end of all in-groups) are delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), not before.

If I think back, what set me and my fellow travelers apart was a love of the truth. We were not going to settle for the comforting fictions of our in-group ideologies. We chased our ideals, naïve Boy Scouts that we were (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), and that, more than anything, led us to our awakenings, which were often devastating experiences, but none of us regretting waking up. The truth will set us free, but the initial awakening from the lies we are fed from the cradle is not a pleasant experience, to put it mildly.

Time to begin my busy day.

Best,

Hi:

I just wrote a post at Spectrum (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?4056-The-Deepwater-Horizon-disaster&p=19043&viewfull=1#post19043), and I am going to reproduce it here, to maybe stimulate some discussion.

Best,

Wade

Last night, I finished a book that Adam recommended (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3788-New-General-Thread&p=18964&highlight=cavnar#post18964), Bob Cavnar’s Disaster on the Horizon. It is the penultimate event on my big essay’s energy event timeline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). Boy, could I write for a long time on the subject. One of my pals went off the deep end during that spill, in a kind of “end-of-the-world” panic, and our relationship ended, very sadly for me.

Cavnar had a roughneck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughneck) background, and while that was obviously helpful and gave him the authority to write about the blowout (he blogged about it as it was happening), man, was the book full of industry jargon and technical talk. I did not discover the glossary or appendix with some diagrams until I was reading the book’s last chapter. The book would have been helped with diagrams in the text, so that lay readers had a better understanding of what Cavnar was writing about.

The bottom line was that BP cut corners, and safety-related ones, to drill that well, and deepwater drilling has almost no margin for error. In Cavnar’s analysis, time pressure and human error, combined with intentionally disabled safety technologies and protocols, led to the disaster. I am sure that it is partly because he was a former roughneck, the biggest tragedy in Cavnar’s eye was the 11 workers that died in the blowout. Yes, 11 unnecessary deaths are tragic, but the death toll among the peoples of the Gulf Coast was surely far higher, if kind of masked because it was more indirect. As one example of many that I could present, when lead was being put into the USA’s gasoline (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#lead), the EPA estimated that it killed about 5,000 people per year, but no death certificates stated, “death by lead poisoning.” I have seen the data on the reduction of lead in the bloodstreams of Americans when lead was finally banned, with the oil industry fighting it all the way, as usual. The toxic dispersants that BP used undoubtedly contributed to many human deaths, not to mention ecosystem devastation, but not many, if any, death certificates are going to show it.

I searched for other books that were not mainly blow-by-blow accounts of the accident and effort to cap the well, but put it into the context of the larger framework, but I really did not find one. Cavnar tried, but it would have been a better work if it had not been rushed out only a few months after they capped the well. I rarely read military histories, because they are all about who won the war and how, not why was the war waged in the first place (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1).

That said, Cavnar came across as a thoughtful and honest critic of what happened. The Deepwater Horizon disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon) had numerous parents, and Cavnar was good at showing all the finger-pointing engaged in by BP and others, as nobody wanted to own it. The USA’s government was not very helpful at all (the people assigned to the problem, almost without exception, had no oil industry experience, in an overreaction to the oil-industry-dominated Bush administration, where the oil companies could do no wrong and were the primary beneficiaries of the USA’s invasion of Iraq (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)), and the entire incident was dominate by political theater.

Cavnar discussed the issues at some length, such as BP’s role in overthrowing the Iranian government (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#iran), but he stopped far short of admitting that everything that the West has done in the Middle East over the past century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1) was all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Everything else was a sideshow and still is.

One of the fun facts in Cavnar’s book (which was news to me) was that offshore drilling began near Ventura, where I was raised, in Summerland, CA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summerland,_California#History). I actually helped clean up the Santa Barbara Oil Spill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_Santa_Barbara_oil_spill) when I was ten, helping rescue sea birds that had washed up on shore, coated in oil. It is one of my starker childhood memories. In the seventh grade, in one of my gifted (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm) classes, I was assigned the project of debating the merits of drilling for oil in the Santa Barbara Channel, and I was assigned to take the “against drilling” position, and I won. So, I go pretty far back on this stuff, to even before I got my energy dreams (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I lived only about a mile from oil operations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monterey), and while I grew up, several of my friends’ parents worked in the local oil industry, mainly for Shell Oil, which had a refinery in town (https://abandonedenvironments.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/ventura-california-the-blighted-petrochem-refinery/), which is abandoned today. I could tell many telling anecdotes, but not today. I’ll end with saying that when I walked on a Santa Barbara beach in 1979 (while taking est (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#oleary)), a decade after the spill, I got tar on my shoes.

I make no bones about my redneck background (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion) (I was raised in a racist (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism) and bigoted home), and many of my redneck relatives who lived in Bakersfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakersfield,_California) worked in the oil fields when they weren’t in prison. They were dustbowl refugees (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas). I also have some Swedish blood, and the great Swedish migration to the USA was because the Indians were finally eradicated (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#stannard) and Sweden had become a deforested wasteland (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sweden1), as they supplied Europe with wood. So, human-caused environmental catastrophes are a rich part of my life and heritage.

As readers may imagine, that while a pal went off the deep end, the Deepwater Horizon spill was agonizing for me, not the least of which is knowing that there is no need to drill for oil at all, as FE technology is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).

What Cavnar did not write at all about, and even kind of poo-poo-ed the idea, is that all of the deepwater drilling, drilling in the Arctic, fracking, and tar sands mining (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands) is because all the easy oil is gone (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil). The USA reached Peak Oil in 1970 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and it has been downhill ever since, with the brief revival fueled by the Fed’s easy money (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#coming), which is quickly turning into another bust. All organisms, ecosystems, and civilizations have ridden on their energy surplus (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?4045-Energy-surplus&p=18989&viewfull=1#post18989), and the USA’s standard of living has declined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline) as its energy surplus has, and history’s biggest and most prosperous middle class is under siege and rapidly disappearing.

Cavnar ended his book with a plug for nuclear energy, as the most viable alternative to oil. Of course the Fukushima disaster (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nukes) happened a few months later, which was the last event on my timeline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents).

I give Cavnar points for an honest rendering of the events of the blowout and aftermath, and he is the kind of person who I wish woke up to FE, but I never found someone like him to do so. He presented some valuable perspectives from being an oil-industry insider, and we could use more like him. I think that his book can be a good place to launch a holistic discussion of that event, and look forward to a productive discussion.

Hi:

I rarely read Salon (http://www.salon.com/) or Slate (http://www.salon.com/), as they are a bit too mainstream for me, and even lib left stuff like Truthout (http://www.truth-out.org/), as they are all hampered by their ideological assumptions, but I happened on this yesterday at Salon (http://www.salon.com/2015/11/17/we_created_islamic_extremism_those_blaming_islam_for_isis_would_have_supported_osama_bin_laden_in_th e_80s/), and anything that mentions Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) without attacking or dismissing him is usually pretty good. IMO, that article did not go quite far enough, when it framed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan as an opportunity that the West reacted to. As the Big Zbig bragged about in the 1990s (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#brzezinski), the USA actually created that “opportunity” by arming and inciting those fundamentalists as way to “bait” to Soviet Union into invading and giving it its “Vietnam.” But magazines such as Salon can only go so far. :)

Hi:

I think I will do one more post on awakening. I have generalized it, so that it applies to any in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideology or conditioning, whether it is nationalism, capitalism, the tenets of organized religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), etc. I’ll save awakening from materialism for my mystical awakening post. The awakenings that I have encountered are those when people first understand that the world does not work like how they thought that it did, usually because they were taught falsely, and they had to find out through their experiences, not because a new teacher comes along.

Awakenings are not necessarily general or permanent, and Orwell said that trading one dogma for another (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#dogma) wasn’t really an advance. In-groups necessitate out-groups, and in-groups treat out-groups terribly (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). If there has been a constant of the human journey, it might be that one. When people trade organized religion for New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) nostrums, they are not necessarily moving closer to enlightenment. Love is the answer, not what somebody believes so much. Conspiracism generally makes elites into an out-group, and conspiracists heap all responsibility for the world’s ills onto those bad ol’ elites. In my experience, it is just another way to think like a victim (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness). Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is playing a role, and he represents the most deeply fearful and delusional aspects of humanity, making self-service into a science (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving). He is not going to be defeated in battle by FE aspirants, exposed, and so on (those Young Warrior delusions (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors)), but he can only be made obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and a loving approach is really all that I am interested in.

It has been said that the news is the first draft of history, and as I began waking up to how the mainstream media shamelessly lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), realizing that the history I was taught was a pack of lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) was not far behind it (I already realized that the tenets of capitalism were fairy tales, through my brutal experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting)). I was born in Washington State, went to Junípero Serra elementary school, and worked in Columbus, and early in my studies in the early 1990s, I came to understand that Washington (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) and Columbus (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#second) were mass-murdering thieves, aptly named the fathers of my great nation, and Serra (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#serra) (who was recently sainted (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#saint)), was the commandant of an ancestor of Hitler’s death camps.

Boy, was it ever “fun” to find out those little tidbits that my history lessons failed to teach me. I never drank the red, white, and blue Kool-Aid as deeply as Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), or Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) did, so I was able to write my American Empire essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), which I doubt that any of them could have done, nor could hardly any Americans. It was a product of my awakening. As Darren once said, most Americans would go into convulsions (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=125&viewfull=1#post125) reading it. I don’t recommend it to any Americans who have not begun to wake up, but if they have, then it can be very helpful.

It seems like history, because it deals with the past, usually the long-gone past, goes deeper than the news, which is about current events, as that sense of history often girds a person’s sense of being, particularly if it is about their in-group, whatever it might be. So, when notions of history are discarded, it can have a deeper effect than realizing that the media continually lies to its audience. So, it can be more liberating. The sooner that people realize that we are all The Universal People (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up), with far more in common than we have differences, the sooner we will get over the hump, but almost nobody is really going to achieve it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), when in-group status means getting the gravy.

Best,

Hi:

I have written before that I am not sure how vital a mystical awakening is to understanding FE and abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), but everybody that I respected in the FE field had a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical). Ken Wilber wrote that the greatest scientists of history became mystics (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#wilber) when they saw the failures of science in explaining reality, but I have known some Einsteinian minds, and their mystical orientation seemed at least partly responsible for their scientific and technological breakthroughs.

A mystical awakening can be valuable in a few ways. One of them is that a mystical awakening shatters the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), which is materialism. Materialism comes in a few different guises, and I have also called them Enlightenment ideals (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) and the rationalist-materialist paradigm, and the openly-displayed greed on Wall Street (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed) is also materialistic.

As with the other awakenings I have written about, people can’t get a mystical awakening through a received teaching or literature review, but it has to come via direct personal experience. Enlightened mystics know that people have to achieve their own mystical awakenings, and the best of them help people achieve them. Younger souls have a particular challenge in attaining a mystical awakening, as they are focused outwardly (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3) more than inwardly, and a mystical awakening comes from focusing within. We live in a Young Soul world, so outward focus and materialism is the order of the day. Baby Soul societies have organized religion, in which such souls can achieve a kind of group high, and the New Age can be seen as an effort to move past materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#mystical), but it drags the baggage of materialism with it, as epitomized in the movie The Secret (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), in which getting rich is one of its themes.

Also, most of my FE fellow travelers received their mystical awakenings in their late teens or early 20s. I received mine at age 16 (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). Like other awakenings, experience brings knowledge, not theories or beliefs, which is what materialism is based on. While the population control ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) are blatantly egocentric (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#obvious), as they form obvious in-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) at the expense of those not in them, materialism, rationalism, and scientism work on a subtler level and appeal to the “smart.” Carl Sagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) was a notorious practitioner of materialism, scientism, and “skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” while his colleague Brian O’Leary began exploring the frontiers of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers) after his mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote).

Some mystical awakenings, such as Mark’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&highlight=comings#post811647), directly led to the insight necessary to build a working FE prototype, and Mark’s harsh political awakening began the next day. Flashes of insight (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash) were responsible for some of history’s greatest breakthroughs in science and technology. Scientists have called it “The Creative Moment” and other terms, but my experience is that it is a close cousin, if not identical, to mystical insight. People such as Einstein wrote about “cosmic religious feeling (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein)” and the similarity of scientific geniuses and spiritual masters.

The primary message of all spiritual masters is love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), and the most enlightened message from the godhead is that we are all one (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature), which was also Jesus’s message (“love the enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy)” – or in other words, there is no out-group), and I have found that without a mystical awakening, that message is not easy to comprehend, because people live in fear, in our world of scarcity. Only abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance) is going to get people to let down their defenses to love.

Materialism is a subtle way to form an in-group and appeals to the smart, as materialism is founded on the five senses and logic. But deductive logic’s fruits are only as good as its assumptions, and a mystical awakening falsifies the assumptions of materialism. Again, I can write for years on the subject, but until people have their own mystical awakenings, my words will be meaningless. I only began reading spiritual literature after my mystical awakening, and I came to realize that my mystical training and awakening helped give me the foundation to survive my journey with Dennis, and I never doubted the truth of Seth’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) statement on being a practical idealist (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist), and my journey drove it home with me in no uncertain terms. Again, those mired in materialism cannot comprehend it. Noam Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) has arguably been the world’s most towering intellectual for the past 50 years or so, but he, like almost all leftists that I ever saw, advocated violence as a solution (http://ahealedplanet.net/opinions.htm#left). In my opinion, that is because they did not have a mystical awakening. The advocacy of violence is classic Young Warrior behavior (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors), in thrall to their particular delusion (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#role).

Materialistic assumptions (or evil mentalities) justify practices such as vivisection (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#vivisection) and animal experiments (which Hitler’s henchmen took further, and some became American heroes (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#strughold)). There are also religious justifications, such as that animals are soulless, so comprise an out-group that can be abused at will (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#egocentric). Materialists certainly do not corner the evil market, but they can be high “achievers” in it.

It is certainly possible to have a mystical awakening and go to the dark side (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), and that is why I rank where one’s heart is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) above all other qualifications for choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) membership. The hells of the astral plane (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell) are filled with “smart” beings, and if you want to spend 50 lifetimes or so in penance (and I may be writing from experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#atlantis) here), then have a mystical awakening and use your new skills for selfish ends or hurting others. When I took the Silva course (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva), when I had my mystical awakening, we were subjected to conditioning statements, and one was that if we misused our mystical abilities, we would lose them. It is similar to my advocacy of a peacekeeping force of grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), to ensure that FE technology is not misused to harm others or the planet, until nobody has to be reminded anymore.

Another term for that creative flash is intuition, which is an internal knowing not related to the senses or rationality. After my mystical awakening, my imagination grew by leaps and bounds, and likely is significantly responsible for the visions that I present (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I reward hard study and writing on my site’s material with fantasy literature. Until I was 14, I did not “get” fiction, until my father handed me The Hobbit (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and before long, I was quite the science fiction enthusiast.

If you have had a mystical awakening, this post may make a lot of sense, but if you haven’t, it may not mean much, if anything. Again, I am not sure that a mystical awakening is required, but it helps avoid many traps that I have seen the “smart” fall into, and on the FE front, the two most common are the denial of FE for the “laws of physics” and “conspiracy theory” reasons.

The first one is ludicrous, as there are no “laws of physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fe),” as Brian was fond of saying, but only theories. Calling theories “laws” invests them with a quasi-religious certitude (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#quasi), when science is ideally about doubt, not faith. Dismissing evidence of organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory” is similarly irrational (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive), not to mention naïve (which scientists suffer from, as Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#naive)), but it is endemic among scientists and academics. Their denial (and often sophisticated denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)) puzzled me for many years, until I resumed my science studies. I gradually realized that in the worldview of the scientific establishment, there is no intent behind the universe’s creation or functioning, but is the result of the “laws of physics” and random events playing out. The best scientists reject that idea, noting that science has nothing at all to say about intent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2), but is about discovering history and process.

Conspiracists tend to be paranoid and shallow-thinking, and structuralists tend to be boxed in by their materialistic assumptions, and generally deny that anybody in powerful positions consciously produces the outcomes that we see on the world stage today, but they are merely the result of anarchic battles, just like Darwin’s theory of evolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin) stated (see the end of Origin of Species). The radical Left rejects the idea of evil-minded ultra-elites as an article of faith (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion). Well, those imaginary elites stomped on me and my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), so we know that they are real. Conspiracists and structuralists are united in thinking like victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), making elites the root of our problems when they are only a symptom. Elites will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), just like materialism, conspiracism, and the other “isms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant)” will.

Those who have played on the high road know (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) that FE, antigravity, and other technologies that turn the physics textbooks into doorstops are on the planet today (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), so that staunch denial and certitude by scientists and academics can be amazing to witness, as they sit in their armchairs and spin their circular logic (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#circular). In my opinion, their materialism is largely responsible for their stunted perspectives, and a mystical awakening could do them a world of good.

In finishing, is a mystical awakening required for what I am doing? I am still not sure, but I know that it can be immensely helpful, and people who have it can avoid the pitfalls that I have seen snare materialists, and their awareness also can expand in ways that are very useful, such as awakening the heart, intuition, and even unlock the abilities of geniuses.

Best,

Wade

Hi Billy:

I made a celebratory post on that thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?86724-AVALON-Happy-1-000-000th-Posting---&p=1021779&viewfull=1#post1021779). When I got home from shopping and I saw the flurry of activity on my thread, I wondered what was happening. Well, yes, I agree that that was a good post of mine for the millionth, and it is an honor to be here. I am still laughing at this situation. Limor may have something to say about the numerical significance of it. :)

Hi:

This one will be short, as I have to go hiking soon. Somebody has to do it! :)

The final choir-member quality that I listed is scientific literacy. I listed it last, because it is far less important (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) than the first two qualities that I listed, and if a mystical awakening is required, then it is also more important than scientific literacy. My approach requires at least some mental horsepower, along with a lot of hard work. I purposely wrote my big essay so that people do not need to be professional scientists or scholars to understand it. Scientists are currently the biggest fans of the essay, some of global stature (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo), but if they are the only people who are going to be able to discuss my big essay, then I will have failed in my original intention. My goal was for laypeople to understand it. My big essay is close to what I think that Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) would have written if he were alive and had the time to do it. Our journeys were curiously similar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller#Depression_and_epiphany).

During my own studies, I found that keen discernment was required, especially when traveling the fringes, as there is a mountain of chaff for every kernel of wheat (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102). All sorts of bogus scholarship is on the fringes, and if people cannot distinguish the genuine from the bogus, they are easily led astray (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=106&viewfull=1#post106) and get lost in the weeds. I have spent a great deal of time studying topics such as Velikovsky’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) scenarios, ideas whether we landed men on the moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), and ideas that Antarctica and Greenland were ice free in the Holocene (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/77-What-I-learned-and-how-I-learned-it?p=147&viewfull=1#post147), and while for some alternative scenarios, there is something to it, such as Jack Kennedy being murdered by a conspiracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk) and the highest levels of American government covering it up, most is invalid. But most scientific hypotheses are invalid, too. That is the nature of the scientific process. Rupert Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=270&viewfull=1#post270) and Brian O’Leary (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers) are/were scientific heretics, challenging the fundamental assumptions of mainstream science, but they still believed in the scientific process. The ideal of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is a worthy one. Unfortunately, just like everything else in a world of scarcity, the ideal is rarely achieved.

I spent a great deal of effort dismantling the media’s lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and the lies of the history I was taught (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more), wrote book length essays on the American myths of World War II (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good), how the medical racket works (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), dismantling the myths that gird American nationalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), and I lived through (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) how the energy racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm) works. I fully admit that if I had not been radicalized by my adventures, I would likely not have much worth saying, and my radicalized state was responsible for spending several years of my life, without compensation, writing the material on my site. There is more to write on this subject, but it will have to wait until I get back from hiking.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am currently reading Lisa Randall’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Randall) Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, in which she makes the case that mass extinctions have happened about every 30 million years due to celestial events (bolide events), not related to how ecosystems interact with Earth’s processes. That hypothesis has come and gone over the years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#periodicity), and she is trying to revive it with a new agent of destruction: dark matter.

I’ll have something to say about her hypothesis when I am finished with the book, but it is relevant to these scientific literacy posts. Randall is a cosmologist, and the first part of the book is devoted to cosmology, which is how our universe came to be. Today’s cosmologists think that they know how old the universe is, within 10 million years (13.77 billion years), and think that they understand the processes by which the galaxies and stars were born. According to cosmologists, everything came from nothing, that the universe began as smaller than a grain of sand and then exploded into what we see today, and cosmologists think that they know what happened in the first second of this universe’s life and understand key events that saw it grow into what it is today.

Scientific literacy does not mean believing that story, but understanding the story and why scientists think that it may be accurate. The stories of how things came to be are just that, stories. They may be accurate, and they may not, but some stories have more evidence for them than others. Cosmologists cite a great deal of evidence to support their story, and that evidentiary body continues to grow as more tools are used (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#toolset), such as state-of-the-art space telescopes and planetary probes.

Not all astronomers bought the Big Bang and related cosmology, such as Halton Arp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Arp). Many astronomers are far from sold on the current cosmology (such as here (http://astr.ua.edu/keel/galaxies/arp.html)), but the prevailing hypothesis today is the one that Randall presents. At the universal level, there is still plenty of scientific controversy, and at the bedrock of the atomic level, it is also far from settled, with the dual nature of light, electrons, and other particle/waves presenting an enigma that is still unresolved (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann). Also, some optical microscopes have resolutions that call into question today’s theories of light (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#impossible).

There is a great deal of evidence that agrees with the models and formulas, but Einstein and Schroedinger, for instance, were very unhappy with a quantum physics that could make accurate predictions but did not say what was happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#copenhagen). Today’s cosmology invokes dark matter and dark energy, which have never been observed, but their presence is inferred by certain data and the prevailing theories about phenomena such as gravity.

Randall conscientiously stated that there are areas where science cannot currently go, such as what happened before the Big Bang and where it all came from in the first place. Prudent scientists have an appreciation for science’s limits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). When scientists try to play priests, such as Sagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) and Hawking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking#Religion), then they can fall off the rails. The best scientists know that today’s science has nothing to say about any intent (or not) behind the universe’s creation or functioning. It is not a question that today’s science can address (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2). But when Rupert Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=270&viewfull=1#post270) made a tame challenge to the assumptions of the materialistic paradigm that dominates mainstream science today, he was hounded and censored by the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” who are attack dogs for establishment science.

When I get painted as Mr. Orthodox or Mr. Fringe, I have found that the labeler is usually defending his/her faith. I am not into faith, especially the blind kind. As I see it, there are some big flies in the ointment of orthodox science today, and until they are addressed and resolved, mainstream scientists will be playing a small game.

First and foremost, in fundamental areas of inquiry, there is anything but free inquiry. FE scientists and inventors, from Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1) onward, have had a rough ride. Those who have played on the high road to FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) all had hell to pay, and one of my fellow travelers got a peek at Godzilla’s Golden Hoard (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), and what he was shown turns the physics texts into doorstops.

A related area is UFOs and ETs. While the popular press is a three-ring-circus on the issue, as it is with many similar issues, a close pal, who was an astronomer and astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early), held a UFO conference and nearly died soon afterward (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), immediately after rejecting the American military’s “offer” to perform classified research on UFOs. His health never recovered and the incident shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). If we are being visited by technologically advanced civilizations from other star systems, and if they are humanoid, then entire bodies of evolutionary theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin) are going to go flying out the window.

Again, pipe-smoking and sherry-sipping (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry) scientists and academics are not going to find out any differently, as they sit in their gilded cages. As long as there are national security states and wholly unaccountable private power (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), which makes the sitting American president (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents) nothing more than a stooge (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#economic) (and easily disposed of (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk) if he presents a problem), scientists are not able to engage in free inquiry, and those who have pushed the envelope of science and technology have been unceremoniously wiped out, in what has been called COINTELPRO for scientists and inventors (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). Of course, establishment members usually irrationally dismiss the evidence as a “conspiracy theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#naive),” and it is the adult equivalent of pulling the sheets over your head so that the monsters under your bed cannot get you.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am taking a little break from choir qualities posts, and I am going to add this to my vignettes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach). Somewhere in my reading today, I happened upon something that spurred me to think about my days in Boston with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202), when I encountered my first Astroturf organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#coalition). I have written plenty that I gave up TV at age 18 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), but I have never lived alone and none of my roommates ever gave it up (one eventually worked in television), so that if I wanted to hang out with my roommates, I often had to sit with them in front of a TV. Dennis is an incorrigible TV watcher, so that winter of 1986-1987 in Boston, with the snow deep on the ground, I sat with Dennis in our living room late at night and heard the story of his life. If they ever made a movie out of it, nobody would believe it. His journey makes Indiana Jones’s pale in comparison. Dennis was not trying to play the regaling raconteur, and as I look back, he was preparing me to be the heir apparent. I could never do what Dennis does. You really have to see him in action to believe it.

I raised the money to be Dennis’s partner in early January, as I recall, and we began to plan our Greatest Energy Shows on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), with the first one held in the building where the Boston Tea Party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party) was planned. For more than a month, we prepared for that first show, had the demo model built that you can see the deputies taking in the raid, with me supervising (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#raid), and I hooked up a trailer to my Pinto and towed it to the shows.

Beginning about the time that I raised the money, in those late-nights, we began seeing the ads run by the Coalition for Reliable Energy, that first Astroturf organization. The ad blitz ran for the entire month before our show. It was not a response to us, by any means, but it was highly ironic, as I look back at it (and a lot more than meets the eye was happening, even if it was just my “friends” orchestrating my journey). It was soon after our first shows that the Coalition was exposed as an Astroturf organization, and the Massachusetts Attorney General sued them (http://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/15/us/massachusetts-lawsuit-assails-seabrook-ads.html). That was a New York Times article that I linked to, but I first read it in the Boston Globe, which never mentioned us, but two weeks after our first shows, they ran an article (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#blackout) on solving our energy problems by mining moon dust.

Godzilla made his first friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten) a month or so later, Dennis had an audience with the Seabrook nuclear plant’s chairman of the board (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=248&viewfull=1#post248), New England’s electric companies had secret meetings to decide what to do about us, and local officials were sharpening their axes (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#middlesex). We left before they could strike.

When I saw Dennis in 2013, we talked about those halcyonic days in Boston. For all that I had been through already, Boston is where I really began to lose my innocence, and the attacks from my former girlfriend (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=578559&viewfull=1#post578559), whom I once considered marrying, was a gentle preview of what lied ahead for me. I have written that when I rescued the hooker (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hooker), if you had told me what the next few years held for me, I would not have believed it. If you had told me, when I chased Dennis out to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), what was ahead of me, I would not have believed it. If you had told me, when I raised the money to be Dennis’s partner, what was ahead of me, I would not have believed you. If you had told me what was ahead of me as I drove the truck to Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), with all of our company’s assets in it, what was ahead of me, I would have denied that the most of all.

I look back to what happened in Ventura and I still have a hard time believing that it all happened, in my home town, of all places, and what I tell publicly is far from the entire story, and one day, I may be able to tell it all.

Anyway, digging up that New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/15/us/massachusetts-lawsuit-assails-seabrook-ads.html) was another trip down memory lane for me.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am burrowing through Lisa Randall’s book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1022432&viewfull=1#post1022432). I use “stuff” a lot, but only used it once in my big essay (and not the way that I usually do in forums), as I tried to write a little more formally. Randall uses “stuff” every few pages, in that catchall way that I informally do. Kind of surprising, but maybe because she is writing to the laity, she feels like using “stuff,” along with many popular allusions. It is kind of funny and a little glib, but I have read that her popular books are like that.

Carl Sagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) used all sorts of hifalutin words in his writings for the laity, and it came off as pompous. I began reading The Canon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Canon) some years ago, and I was put off by the way the author regularly interspersed the book with anecdotes that seemed like they were written for truck drivers. I find that many scientists and academics really miss the mark when writing to lay audiences, writing down to them or unnecessarily using big words to make mundane stuff ( :) ) seem sophisticated and full of meaning.

I remember reading something long ago that Tolkien wrote, that when he deliberately wrote to children as if they were children, they did not like it and neither did he, and he gave up those artifices by the time that he wrote The Lord of the Rings, which was dramatically different from The Hobbit.

I think that people have to be treated as equals for work like that (or any work, really), and not talked down to, or over their heads. I use as little scientific jargon as I can (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical3). I think that Peter Ward is a great popularizer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward), and his works are a labor of love. It seems to be a rare talent for scientists, who can write to the laity without seeming like fake populists or coming off as pompous.

Best,

Wade

Before I go to bed, I just want to say congratulations to Project Avalon for getting into a million posts! :) That's kind of rare to happen. Though I am actually a member of a forum since 2011 which now has 15 million posts and counting. But that site has been around since 2001, I believe. And it's not actually a forum discussing common topics related to pop culture or anything. Hehehe. :) It does that but that's for the chat section of the forum.

And it's indeed a fitting millionth post for the site by an unsuspecting Wade Frazier! :) I actually have something to say about awakening too in relation to that post and I might do that tomorrow night, Manila time. It's nothing as great as Wade's post though. I don't know if my apparitional experience counts as some form of mystical experience. And it doesn't matter. It's enough for me to stop embracing materialism. I'm sorry but I also can't promise that I can post about it tomorrow. We'll see.

See yah,

Hi:

I am nearing the end of these “choir qualities” posts, and will continue on scientific literacy (and scholarly literacy is a close cousin). The scientific method (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is something new in the human journey. Anthropologists have found that people in all human societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#up) have beliefs that are demonstrably false. If we put it in scientific terms, people continue to support hypotheses long after they are falsified. It turns out that scientists can do it, too (and do it often (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#real)), as they are people, after all. But the best scientists try to never get too attached to any idea that can be subjected to scientific testing, as any of them may be falsified.

Most of my early writings were produced to falsify popular “truths,” and it was not until I encountered Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I could look back at my writings and see what they had in common, in a paradigmatic way (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction). I was taking on the convenient yet deadly lies of my society, such as that “attack-the-tumor (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket)” is the only way to treat cancer, that knives and drugs are the only ways to treat artery disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons) (or any disease), that the USA is a beacon of light to the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good), not just another imperial marauder (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm), raping and pillaging its way across the planet to secure plunder, that the news (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and history (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) presented to us resemble the truth, that capitalism is such a wonderful system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists), and so on. I was taking on the in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) of my culture, which elevated the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) at the expense of the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1), which could then be treated terribly with a relatively clear conscience. To the extent that humans engage in that kind of “thinking,” we are not a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). Monkeys do that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), and they are not considered sentient.

If humanity is going to turn the corner (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth) instead of crash and burn, taking most of Earth’s ecosystems with it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), some group has to let go of its in-group ideologies so that it can overcome humanity’s egocentric inertia (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), to help manifest the human journey’s biggest event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I am trying to build that group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), the masses of humanity are not going to awaken. Only when the means of abundance are delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) will they begin to, and it has been like this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) for every Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).

Practicing the methods of science and scholarship takes self-discipline, a willingness to be wrong and lay the ego aside in a quest for the truth, not to justify self-serving fictions. It takes keen discernment and a certain level of mental horsepower to not only handle the many pieces of information that scientific hypotheses are based on, but to also understand the dynamics of how those pieces may fit together and work. That is not easy. The sine qua non of science is the formulation of a falsifiable hypothesis. In order to do that, it takes a mind that can grasp all of the known evidence regarding a phenomenon and the creative insight to propose a dynamic that explains them. Those who can do that generally have IQs that are way up there (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), and I have encountered quite a few during my journey. While those people are way ahead of the rest of us in important ways, for efforts such as those, it is also quite possible to eventually understand what they came up with, given enough time and effort, at least for those with enough mental horsepower.

Take calculus. Two men, standing on the shoulders of their professional ancestors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus#Modern), invented calculus, and it has been taught to countless millions of people ever since. How many who learned calculus could have invented it? Not many. The physics of the 20th century, which still dominates today, has very few authors, and they generally had an outlook that could be called mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical).

The structural feature of science, in which only hypotheses that survive attempts to falsify them graduate to becoming theories, has tended to turn the scientific community into a shark tank, as scientists fight over obtaining grant money and tenure, aspire to Nobel Prizes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nobel1), scientific pioneers suffer greatly at the hands of their peers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pioneers), etc. So it is, in a world of scarcity.

However, for areas where vested interests are not actively mischievous (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm), the evidence will tend to win out, although the pioneer is often dead and buried when he/she is vindicated, and stealing credit from them (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal) is unfortunately typical. One of Mr. Mentor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) scientific colleagues was recruited by major universities for faculty positions, and one perk dangled before him was that if a brilliant graduate student came up with something good, the professor could plagiarize it and call it his own. It was standard behavior back in the 1960s-1970s. In the American military, any paper written by a scientist was openly stolen by his supervisor and presented as his own. It was standard procedure. One of Mr. Mentor’s colleagues was an oceanographer who wrote a paper, which his boss then called his own and presented in a professional forum, and that oceanographer at least had to satisfaction of attending the forum and watching his boss receive the accolades from his “peers” for “his” brilliant work. Mr. Mentor was repeatedly invited to present papers in international forums, and his bosses told him that anything that he wrote would be presented by them as their own work. Given those options, Mr. Mentor refused to write any.

Nobody needs to look to the scientific establishment as some beacon of light, and it is completely irrelevant today on the critical issues (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#irrelevant) that humanity faces, but its ideal process is a worthy one.

What I have noted for many years is people’s almost complete lack of discernment. They don’t practice critical thinking, and if they ever stop believing one set of lies, they embrace another set just as uncritically, as Orwell noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#dogma) in the censored preface (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell) of Animal Farm.

Not only are Establishment “truths” often a series of lies, and big ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), but the fringes are also filled with chaff. Very few who travel the fringes practice any discernment, and instead swallow whatever is put in front of them. The scientific ideal is to subject every idea and statement to the crucible of critical thinking and falsification (and verification). When I read Gary Wean’s account (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) of John Tower’s conversation on Oswald’s real role in the JFK assassination, even though Gary helped me bust Dennis out of jail (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=212&viewfull=1#post212) and he had my implicit trust, I read thousands of pages of JFK-related material for a dozen years before I said anything publicly about it. I never saw a convincing piece of evidence falsify Gary’s story, and over the years, evidence kept coming to light that further verified it, such as the Operation Northwoods documents (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods).

As far as I am concerned, the idea that Oswald was a lone nut has been falsified. That also leads to the idea that the Warren Commission was a sham, and the Kennedy family came out in 2013 and called it that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk). The Kennedy family never believed the lone nut theory of Oswald’s involvement, but fear kept them silent for nearly 50 years. Gary was a professional detective, so solving the crime is what he did for a living, and he ventured his own ideas about who was behind Jack Kennedy’s murder. His opinions are not easily dismissed, and were in fact partly vindicated by arguably the best JFK book of the 21st century so far, endorsed by the Kennedys, which argues that JFK was killed by the MIC because he tried to end the Cold War (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#douglass). The man who led the Warren Commission’s “investigation” was actually one of the prime suspects (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), who led the CIA before JFK fired him over the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Gary’s idea that Jewish mobsters were behind it cannot be too far from the mark, as Jack Ruby was a Jewish mobster (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby).

The JFK affair also falsifies the idea that the American president is anything but a puppet (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), and is easily disposed of if he becomes disobedient. But the subject is not for quick-study artists, and my opinions on those subjects are not something that I dreamed up one day.

My father worked in Mission Control during the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), and my pal Brian O openly stated his skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo) that NASA landed men on the moon. I spent a decade, on and off, reading all of the books that argued that there were cover-ups related to the moon landings, or that they were faked. I then spent a few months, full-time, trying to get to the bottom of the issue, before I decided that there was not much to the faked moon landings evidence. Nothing that I ever saw was compelling evidence of faked moon landings, and most fell apart pretty quickly upon inspection (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#anomalies). For a few days, I thought that I stumbled onto something interesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sibrel), but I soon decided that it wasn’t. However, going through a process like that is invaluable for honing one’s discriminatory chops, to winnow the wheat from the chaff. I also found positive evidence of moon landings (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#paydirt), and today I have virtually no doubt that NASA landed men on the moon by using conventional rocket technology, about at the level of doubting that Oswald was a patsy in a conspiracy. There may well have been cover-ups of UFOs and ETs (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) during the Apollo missions, but that is a different issue and might have something to do with people thinking that the moon landings were faked. I am sure that it shaded Brian’s thinking, as he almost died at the hands of the USA’s military (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) soon after hosting a UFO conference and rejecting the military’s “offer” to perform classified UFO investigation.

Those are examples of how I approached fringe topics. It is also very important to understand scientific controversies, from the hypotheses to how the evidence is gathered and assessed. I present many such controversies in my big essay, and go into a bit of depth into the Snowball Earth scenarios (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian1) and the rise of complex life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals).

Acrimonious disputes seem like the order of the day in many areas of science. But in many areas, the disputes are mild or confined to tiny areas amongst wide areas of general agreement. For instance, almost no climate scientists on Earth, other than those who sold their souls to the Hydrocarbon Lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold) (and their dupes), have any doubt whatsoever that increasing the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere will warm Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) and is likely doing so today, and none doubt that humanity’s burning hydrocarbons to fuel the industrialized world is entirely responsible for it. There is really no dispute, but the media has allied with their Hydrocarbon Lobby patrons to fabricate the appearance of a controversy, when one does not really exist. Nobody in the field seriously doubts that declining carbon dioxide levels are responsible for the Icehouse Earth conditions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icehouse) that have prevailed for the past 35 million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), and the so-called Global Warming debates are over proximal causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proximate), not the ultimate one.

There is more to come, and I plan to finish these posts this week.

Best,

Hi:

For all of you dinosaur-lovers out there, I am finishing the part of Lisa Randall’s book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1022432&viewfull=1#post1022432) that deals with the dinosaurs’ demise, and I am surprised that she spent so little time on it, her treatment of the mass extinction events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions) was rather perfunctory (and I feel a little misled by the rave reviews), and she is obviously not very well read on the Cretaceous Extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction). She wrote that sauropods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sauropods) were extinct by the Cretaceous Extinction event, but that is not the opinion of many specialists, if any, as far as I know. This is also a chance to venture into the kinds of discussions that I hope that the choir will engage in.

Sauropods are one of the most fascinating lines of dinosaurs, partly because they were the largest, but there are other reasons. They had the air-sac breathing system of birds (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#airsac), so were well adapted to the low-oxygen times of the Triassic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lowoxbivalves). They are also likely the first and last line of herbivores that browsed large conifer trees, as their long necks and bulk allowed them to do. They were the least encephalized dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#encephalization) (which meant that they were probably not too bright), and in the higher oxygen times of the Cretaceous, the rise of ornithischians (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ornithischians) likely did put pressure on sauropods, but sauropods thrived all the way to the Cretaceous Extinction.

As with all lines of animals, sauropods rose and fell, and their Golden Age was in the late Jurassic. The late Cretaceous was notable for the rise of ornithischians, which were better adapted for eating the new kind of food: flowering plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers). By the late Cretaceous, the titanosaurs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanosaur) were all that was left of the sauropods, but they had a nearly global distribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanosaur#Range). In the late-Cretaceous, sauropods tended to dominate the southern continents (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceous) while ornithischians tended to dominate the northern ones. The classic Cretaceous battles between T-Rexes and triceratopses happened in North America.

Theropod dinosaurs had feathers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feathered_dinosaur), opposable thumbs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb#Dinosaurs), and high encephalization, and it is legitimate to wonder if today’s Earth would be dominated by space-faring dinosaurs if not for that bolide event of 66 million years ago. :)

Again, before I sleep, I am dropping by here just to try to write something about what I said that I am going to write about, which is awakening. I really don't have anything to say so far except that the circumstances that lead to my sort of an awakening is most likely not that as unique as the life stories of Wade, Dennis, Brian, etc. And yet, somehow, I managed to stumble upon "Wade's World" a little over three years ago in one ordinary afternoon reading about American imperialism. But as I've written before (which you can all see in my signature), there is a bit deeper background that lead me to Wade's site. The American Empire essay happens to be the most viewed part of Wade's site, if I am right, but being exposed to the crimes of global capitalism and American imperialism beforehand, through experience and simple reading, definitely helped me out in understanding much of what is written there. However, the process of further radicalization for me is not that easy. It took me a whole year to really chew out what's written in the entirety of that site. I know that subconsciously, I am trying to find a way to forget what I've seen there. But as you can all see, I'm not successful. It also took me two more years before gathering the courage to speak up and join this forum. I am not sure but it seems that I am the first person that truly responded to Wade's Open Letter to the Radical Left from his site. It may not be an accident that I managed to get here, if we are going to go a bit deeper in developing a spiritual explanation for this. God knows what's truly in store for me in this resurrection. My apparitional experience before strengthened that spiritual side of me and I know that I may be an anti-capitalist, but I am not going to be able to accept the materialist tendencies of the Left. I am that far along. I am not saying that I am special, but somehow, I managed to embark on an extraordinary inner journey that not a lot of people, especially people more intelligent than me, had gone through or have a courage to go through. My family have no idea. My friends (except for one) have no idea. My clan has no idea. Wade has an idea (after all he knows my face and real name). It's incredible. It's unbelievable! I am also not sure if having a mystical experience is truly required but it certainly helped me get here. That "white lady" experience is probably not that mystical or unique, but it is certainly enough for me to get past New Age material like the Secret, which I encountered back in 2007. Being into fantasy and science fiction literature also helped me out. I am a Star Wars fan since I am 10 years old and I am personally creating fantasy worlds in my mind and in writing since I am 8 years old. I still do make fantasy worlds from time to time and I have a creative outlet for that, through the forum with 15 million posts that I am talking about. By the way, that forum has been in existence since 2001. I am correcting that post I've written above. So, I guess it has a head start over Project Avalon so that is why it got to that level. I am not saying anything about that site because I just don't want to take any chances and be banned there for discovering me here by the admins, even though I am keeping my mouth shut there over advocating "conspiracy theories". I've been kicked there for a week once because of talking about water fueled cars made by Filipino inventors, which is true.

To put it simply, it took me living in a Third World country being victimized by American imperialism for over a century, a sheltered, semi-First World personal lifestyle in a semi-religious household that's not exactly rich that made me understand the concept of "energy slaves", a fondness for science fiction and fantasy worlds since I was young, a local TV show in 2005 that moved me emotionally about a 83 year old guy looking for work, an apparitional experience in college around 2007/8, two books called the Secret ("spiritual") and the Rogue State (geo-political), an Atlantis related "New Ageist" documentary, disillusionment with Obama and curiosity about the aims of the Occupy movement and an Internet forum topic related to socialism in America that fed upon my Amerophile feelings that all brought me to "Wade's World". All of those made me a bit ready to chew on the varied topics of the site when I first encountered ahealedplanet.net. I am hoping that one day, somebody like me will also post here and write something about his/her experiences that lead to encountering Wade's site. It may take something along my experiences for that future fellow radleftist to come here. Hopefully, it's through not that too narrow of a life experience just for somebody like me to get here. But I wouldn't be surprised if one day, that person turned out to be somebody like me. But it doesn't have to be that way. After all, I am just 21 years old when I first read the American Empire essay. Am I lucky that it took me just 21 years of my life to develop a basic understanding of "neo-Fullerianism"? Maybe. If that future person is quite older than me, I am sure that he/she has something more to say about what lead to him/her as a radical leftist to get into the "neo-Fullerian" stuff of Wade Frazier. I guess that I just have to be patient. :)

On a side note, I just encountered a crime scene on a way to work for the first time! It's about a shooting of a driver of a public van... I just saw the body with my own eyes, with the person shot in the head. It's all real, with all the blood. It's not in our city, though. It's on the next one on the way to Manila. It's incredible. I prayed for him silently afterwards. Hey, I am young! This is my first! I am living in a "semi-ghettoish" neighborhood since I am two years old but this is my first time seeing a bloodied corpse of someone shot in the head with my own eyes, or even a bloodied corpse of any kind. Our place is not exactly crime-ridden, thank God. And the "numerology phenomenon" continues. Basketball game score: 55-55. Plate number: 4444. Watch: 12:34, 3:33.... all unexpected. Wow. It's everyday now. And it's been for quite some time. Wait, just right now... 11:11 pm. Wow. On that note, Good night from here! :)

Thanks for reading.

Hi Serg:

My site’s server is currently down, so no links to it in this post (my tool for putting links in my posts are on the server that hosts my site). Seeing a dead body like that leaves an impact that you will never forget. I’ll never forget my first dead body, and the environment was so horrific (where I worked for six months) that we did not even comment on the body, but just walked around it on our way to lunch. But those days were a big part of inspiring me on my journey, to abolish earthly hells (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) like that.

At my forum, I have a section for people coming to me telling their stories, as they are important, and yours is important, too. While we all have different circumstances, how we woke up is similar. Since you are not a white guy living the West, it is easier for you to wake up to American imperialism, especially when you live in one of the nations that we bludgeoned. But we all are imbued with in-group ideologies, being social animals in a world of scarcity, and waking up from any in-group ideology is not easy.

I’ll write more when my site is back up, and thanks for writing,

Wade

Hi:

On the issue of scientific literacy, the issue of “skepticism” is important. Again, doubt instead of faith is the guiding principle of science, at least ideally. A skeptical eye is what scientists hone, and if somebody comes up with a pretty argument, it is only a pretty argument (AKA “hypothesis”) until it survives the crucible of skeptical thought and scientific testing, which ideally can falsify the hypothesis.

The great breakthroughs in science came from creative insight (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash) and skepticism directed toward science’s assumptions. Einstein’s relativity is the classic instance of this. Einstein was skeptical of Newton’s assumptions of absolute time and absolute space in his Principia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophi%C3%A6_Naturalis_Principia_Mathematica), which is the most influential book in the history of physics. Relativity is based on the assumptions that time and space are relative, not absolute.

Skepticism is an important aspect of scientific orientation, but that is not what organized skepticism practices, as it defends the assumptions of science from challenge, with “skepticism.” That is the opposite of what Einstein did. In practice, the “skeptics” are attack dogs of establishment science, defending the Fourth Epoch’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) religion, also called materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle).

The “skeptics” have given skepticism a bad name. My encounters with organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) led me to regard it as a criminal enterprise. Dennis’s “skeptical” assailant libeled Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) in the house organ of organized skepticism, and simply made up new lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006) when his old ones were exposed. He stalked me on the Internet (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning), heaving his slime at me whenever he could, and he was likely on Godzilla’s payroll (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic). That he became a famous “skeptic,” featured on several national TV shows that smeared Dennis, is almost all that I needed to know about the “skeptics.”

I began studying organized skepticism in the early 1990s, and stumbled into the Velikovsky controversy (ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) while looking into Carl Sagan’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) “skeptical” career. I am still on the controversy’s fringes today. Einstein gave Velikovsky his ear, and Velikovsky’s Worlds in Collision was the only book open on Einstein’s desk when he died, but Einstein never bought Velikovsky’s scenario of wandering planets that had near-misses with Earth that caused events in the Old Testament such as parting the Red Sea and manna from heaven (and neither does any professional astronomer that I have heard of). It has been written that Velikovsky’s ideas have had a far longer life on the fringes than they should have because of Sagan’s scurrilous “sneak attack” on Velikovsky in 1974. One of the more sober voices on the Velikovsky affair (http://www.jerrypournelle.com/science/velikovsky.htm#myview) said it this way:


“…although I think there are plenty of rational arguments in refutation of Velikovsky, Sagan didn't make them; or if he did, they were so buried in irrelevance as to hide them well. And I completely agree that a valid confrontation of Velikovsky in 1974 would have ended the matter: the slick job done which ignored Velikovsky's arguments in favor of "trust me I'm a scientist and this man is mad, ho ho ho" did little to reassure those who thought Big Science incapable of thinking outside the box...”


True skepticism means thinking for one’s self and not accepting anything on faith, especially the blind kind. True skepticism has been an invaluable aid in the progress of many disciplines, and science in particular.

True skepticism relies on critical thinking, honest use of logic, and keen discernment. Those qualities are vital for navigating both orthodoxy and the fringes. Being orthodox does not automatically mean that it is valid, or being fringe does not mean that it is invalid, or vice versa. The greatest breakthroughs in science and technology often came from the fringes, and the treatment of the Wright brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright), or the continuing treatment of Rife’s and Naessens’s microscopes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#impossible) (or Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new)), highlights the failings of establishment science. But the fringes are also filled with chaff, and it takes keen discernment to navigate the fringes.

Hi Serg:

My site is back up, and that section where those in my forum can tell their stories of how they came to me is here (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forums/23-Forum-Member-Introduction). I had to badger Darren and Ilie to tell their stories, as they did not see that they were important or relevant, but they are. I am using them as “bait” to attract more like them. I have had people coming to my work for nearly 20 years and, as I have written, my “peers” can only handle a few pages of my work before their heads explode, such as this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress) of my site. I do a lot of that intentionally, to dissuade people from reading my work who are not ready for it, as they usually are deeply immersed in their in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which comprise their religion, as it feeds them and bolsters their egos.

Most of my best students came to me like you did, where you stumbled into it and then chewed on it for months or years before you came forward. In order to really begin to digest what I am saying, it takes years. Yes, my American Empire essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) has likely been my site’s most popular since 2002. Every year, when American kids go back to school in September, my Columbus essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm) becomes my site’s most popular, and it gets several thousand hits in a few days around Columbus Day, and the American Empire essay, because it is related, gets almost as much traffic. But my big essay has been my site’s most popular for the past year (and it should be), if we remove that Columbus Day traffic.

Yes, a mystical experience will shatter the assumptions that materialism is founded on, and as you know, I highly stress the importance of staying grounded while navigating that terrain. I have seen many crash and burn, even go insane and get locked up. You need both feet firmly on the ground to navigate Wade’s World.

Time for chores.

Hi:

To Serg’s recent post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1023192&viewfull=1#post1023192), when the USA begins playing the Empire Game more visibly, my American Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) essay gets an increase in traffic, and with us on the brink of World War III (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/world-war-iii-trends-twitter-putin-decries-turkeys-stab-back-n468881), my American Empire essay has more than 7,000 visits so far this month, more than twice as many as my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm), as it comes in a distant second (and my war essay (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1023192&viewfull=1#post1023192) got a big spike, too).

Time for chores.

Hi:

More on scientific literacy. Following scientific controversies can be very educational, and I am going to present some that I have written about. The first will be on the megafauna extinctions. The “stars” of the megafauna extinctions are wooly mammoths and mastodons, and the idea that they were killed off by humans was first proposed in 1799 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna). The idea was also proposed at various times during the 19th century, but it was not revived until the 1960s, by Paul Martin, an American scientist. It coincided with a cultural awakening in the USA, and it immediately became a political football. A prominent American Indian activist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deloria) dismissed the idea and preferred a celestial explanation, which had been proposed by catastrophists such as Velikovsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky). No astronomer takes Velikovsky’s scenarios seriously, and I strongly doubt them myself, but it had the charm of absolving humans, and particularly the ancestors of American Indians, in the North American mammoth’s and mastodon’s cases, from any responsibility for driving such iconic animals to extinction. All humans who deflect responsibility from humanity have a conflict of interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup).

It quickly began to become evident that megafauna across Earth, not just North American mammoths, had also recently gone extinct. In the end, megafauna went extinct everyplace on Earth except for Africa, and Martin proposed that because humans evolved in Africa, African megafauna had adapted to them (avoided them), and that is why they survived when most other megafauna went extinct, especially the largest ones.

As anthropology progressed, the human journey became better understood, and what sealed it for me was when I saw the migration pattern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) that had been established for behaviorally modern humans, particularly with the rise of DNA testing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna), and the megafauna extinctions perfectly matched it. Whenever humans arrived, the megafauna quickly went extinct. The human line first left Africa (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#migrate1) nearly two million years ago (and more than a million years before they became super-predators), but never migrated past Eurasia. So Eurasian megafauna had experience with the human line before humans became the super-predators that behaviorally modern humans did, and Eurasian megafauna had the next best survival rate, after Africa. But when humans arrived in Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna), which had no primates, much less humans, virtually all of the megafauna quickly went extinct.

About 15,000 years after humans invaded Australia, they developed the toolset that allowed them to invade the cold regions along the Eurasian ice sheet, where mammoths lived, and Eurasian mammoths quickly went extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian). Around the same time, the most successful human species, adapted to hunting the megafauna of Europe and vicinity, went extinct (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), and today’s scientists generally think that Neanderthals were just one more species of megafauna that fell to behaviorally modern humans, as all other human species did after humans left Africa. Nothing could withstand the onslaught of behaviorally modern humans: neither Earth’s easy meat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi) nor competing human species.

Several thousand years after Neanderthals and Eurasian mammoths (and other megafauna, such as the Eurasian wooly rhino) went extinct, humans began migrating to the Western Hemisphere (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#americanmigration), which also had never seen humans before, and the pattern was repeated. The megafauna extinctions were sudden and total. The elephant line was the most successful mammal in Earth’s history (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elephantsuccess) before the rise of humans, and they lived the length and breadth of the Western Hemisphere, but they all went quickly extinct after humans arrived. Also, it was far more than just the elephant line that went extinct. North America was the evolutionary home of camels and horses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#clovis), and they quickly went extinct in North America, along with entire herbivore/predator assemblages. The plains of North and South America resembled the plains of Africa, megafauna-wise, but their megafauna quickly went extinct when humans arrived.

I made the conquest of Earth by behaviorally modern humans the Second Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) in my framework, and it was fueled by Earth’s easy meat. The idea that humans drove all of Earth’s easy meat is not original with me, or some idiosyncratic fringe hypothesis. I have yet to see a disinterested scientist examine the evidence and not conclude that humans were primarily, if not solely, responsible for the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dromornis). I write “disinterested” because a clique of scientists have made a small cottage industry of denying human agency in the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2), and their preferred culprit is climate change, not humans. I have looked at the evidence for a long time, and I doubt it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humanagency). I present my arguments and evidence in my big essay, and do not need to belabor them here (such as megafauna remnants surviving on isolated (AKA “human-free”) islands (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#islandrefuges) for thousands of years after their continental cousins had been driven to extinction), but that is an area where observing the debates, examining the evidence, and thinking long and hard about the issues can be very good work in honing one’s scientific literacy. My writings on the megafauna extinctions are not the least bit fringe, although my Second Epochal Event concept is original, to my knowledge.

An area of debate today, which is more speculative but well within the boundaries of orthodox science, is the role that fire played in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1). Darwin called the control of fire humanity’s greatest achievement, along with the mastery of language (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language), and there is keen controversy today regarding how early the human line mastered fire, and what impacts fire had on the human journey. In this area, I am sticking my neck out a little, as I write that I think that there may well be something to Richard Wrangham’s Cooking Hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking). Probably the key area of controversy regarding Wrangham’s hypothesis is how early the human line controlled fire. When Wrangham proposed his hypothesis, that the human line controlled fire as long as two million years ago or more and led to the appearance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#turkana1) of Homo erectus, the earliest accepted evidence of controlled fire was 800,000 years, and Wrangham was widely pilloried by his peers for his audacious hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire4). However, new tools and findings are pushing back that date, and I will be following the controversy with interest, as more evidence is amassed. Wrangham’s Cooking Hypothesis is one of those “big idea” hypotheses that don’t come along very often, and I consider it very likely that even if his two million year number is not the one that future evidence supports, that plenty about his hypothesis will survive in new hypotheses, and it is already happening. The role of cooked food in the human journey was very likely seminal, and the related benefits of fire. I consider it likely that the control of fire was learned once, and then spread via social learning, like stone tools spread (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1).

I have a post or two to yet make on scientific literacy, but today is a day of feasting in the USA, as if history’s fattest humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#sloth) need an excuse to feast.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

The scientific and scholarly processes are different, with different goals quite often (such as why something happened versus what happened), but there are similarities. Professional scrutiny is something that they have in common. A historian ideally uses primary documents whenever possible, and weighs evidence. If evidence conflicts, the historian will ideally present that conflict to the audience, and if one piece of evidence is weighted over another, the historian should say why. Again, that is the ideal, and historians, like all professions, in our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), regularly prostitute themselves and bow to the winds of wealth and power (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity).

In the legal system, there are standards of evidence, how it is handled and interpreted, and what it can be used for, but as with historians, the legal system is only as good as those who work in it, and the legal system in the USA is corrupt almost beyond imagining (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#law), used as a weapon by the powerful. I had my face rubbed in it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), and repeatedly (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc). This is not something new. The USA’s legal system was corrupt and arguably evil before there was a USA, as exemplified by its first president (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint) and its first Supreme Court Chief Justice (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jay). The USA has long been the most lawless (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#lawless) and inhumane (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record) international actor.

Science, like history and law, has theory and practice, and in the area of FE, the differences can be like night and day. Anybody who develops genuine FE technology, which upends the “laws of physics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3)” and Godzilla’s global empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), has hell to pay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). The “lucky” ones get the Golden Handcuffs (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff), while the unlucky ones have their lives ruined (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bearden) and prematurely ended (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors). That just comes with the territory of playing on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257).

None of my FE fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) began their energy journeys thinking about FE. My initial orientation was squeezing more energy out of a gallon of gasoline (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). After having his first business wiped out (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#builders) in the mayhem of the USA’s first energy crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), which ended history’s most prosperous era (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), Dennis’s initial orientation was low-flow showerheads (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#conserve), then graduated to foam insulation (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#foam), and then the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) before he ever began thinking about FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing). Brian’s initial orientation was standard alternative energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall) and trying to prevent nuclear power plants from being built. Our paths overlapped several times (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary) before our fateful meeting (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and by the end, we were close colleagues (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro). That proposal that Brian mentioned in that video clip (http://ahealedplanet.net/brian%20doe%20talk.flv) is here (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html). I wrote “The Big Picture” and “Further Obstacles” sections, and my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is the slightly expanded version of the The Big Picture section. :) We all pursued FE before it was over, and we all discovered that FE technology is likely older than I am and was developed to a commercial level (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) generations ago.

All three of us have very well documented journeys, and more than anybody else, I became Dennis’s and Brian’s biographers. This brings up issues of how historians perform their duties. The FE field is full of people without the right stuff, trying to get rich and famous (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), announcing that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), and so on. There is really no barrier of entry or minimum standard of professional behavior in the FE field, and long ago, I stopped having anything to do with it, as it is in arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) and I am trying something else (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), which Dennis and Brian immediately recognized as something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852).

Related to the FE issue is the UFO/ET issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), as they are joined at the hip. What my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was almost certainly at least partly developed from “captured” ET craft. When Brian hosted a UFO conference in his early days of exploring the fringes, he nearly died soon afterward (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), immediately after rejecting an “offer” from the American military to do classified UFO work. The incident ruined his health and shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). Dennis should be dead dozens of times over, and his health has been damaged by his preposterous journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis).

Steven Greer mounted an effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) so that UFO and ET witnesses could come forward without fear of reprisal, and held secret Congressional hearings. Brian was heavily involved. A man who walked on the Moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Mitchell#Views_on_UFOs) co-chaired the hearings, and one witness was one of the original astronauts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cooper#UFO_sightings). Witnesses testifying under oath to Congress, especially of that caliber, are highly impressive. Soon after the hearings, several principal members of the effort developed advanced and unusual forms of cancer, including a Congressman and high-ranking military official, and Greer was the only survivor (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak). I followed those events as they happened and tried to get alternative treatment information (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#personal) in the hands of Greer’s assistant, who soon died. In my circles, nobody seriously doubted that Greer’s crew had been subjected to some of Godzilla’s dirty tricks. His bag is deep and sophisticated, and it was no great surprise when they were taken out like they were. Greer was never the same, and I consider him damaged goods, from his mental/emotional wounds. Many with the right stuff have fallen by the wayside on this quest, often taken out quite brutally.

But because of the lack of publicly available documentation in the cloak-and-dagger world of the national security state and Godzilla’s private realm, virtually anybody can step forward, without a shred of documentary support, and spin the most outrageous yarns. Most such stories are bogus, either by phonies vying for attention or insiders who are knowingly or unwittingly purveying disinformation. I take all such testimony with a huge grain of salt. When such people testify to their experiences under oath or provided impressive documentation, I begin taking them seriously, no matter how bizarre their stories may seem, such as David Adair’s (http://www.greatdreams.com/david-adair.htm). But it does not take many of them before you begin to learn how the land lies, and I got tired of watching such tales long ago. When you survive such events, listening to the war stories of others is not fun and often gets you reliving your own traumatic events. Soldiers who have actually been on battlefields (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#sledge) do not regale their social circles with their tales (and the social circles don’t really want to hear them, anyway), and usually try to forget about them. Almost nobody who ever walked on the high road has done what I have, as they just want to lick their wounds and quietly live out the rest of their lives. Among my circle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), I am the last man standing in the USA.

There is all manner of clip on YouTube of alleged insider tales, and a person might want to see a few of them, but listening to those stories can become counterproductive, as most is the chaff of the fringes and part of the three-ring circus that prevails these days. YouTube is the TV of the Internet, and even my interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews) that YouTube hosts can only skim the surface. My email inbox is flooded by alleged tales from people who are almost certainly phonies, but the conspiracist crowd seems unable or unwilling to try to separate the wheat from the chaff, and will swallow any fringe tale that comes along.

My story is heavily documented, with firsthand testimony by the participants (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), and anybody who digs into my story just a little knows that I am underplaying my credentials in order to protect people. That is almost the opposite of what the conspiracist talking heads do, spinning wild yarns with no credible supporting evidence. I have watched Dennis get smeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) and libeled (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) almost since the day I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news), and watched public officials lie out of both sides of their mouths (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#arizona) and receive promotions (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#promotion) and other perks for their criminal activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid). Officials told us to our faces that they were lying and proud of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#care), but they had the power and we did not, and having my face rubbed in their evil deeds (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces) was the turning point of my life, when I became radicalized.

What I do is the furthest thing from what conspiracist talking heads do, but I am often lumped in with them, because the subject matter is often similar. The New Age crowd has a similar lack of discrimination (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), eagerly eating chaff, thinking it is wheat, and in recent years my fellow travelers began pronouncing “New Age” to rhyme with “sewage,” and I immediately got the point.

Navigating orthodoxy or the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm) takes the kind of discrimination (AKA “skepticism” – the real thing, not what “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” practice) that scientists ideally use. It is only one quality of many that have propelled science and technology forward, and creative insight (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#flash) is infinitely more important. That creative insight (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) has to come first, before the powers of discrimination can be brought to bear, for any of the big kinds of breakthroughs that have happened.

This ends my choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69) posts for now.

Hi:

I put my recent choir qualities posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=318&posted=1#post307) on one thread, and I am going to post a few photos from this autumn’s hikes. Because I live in a rainforest, mushrooms come up in all seasons but the winter. Autumn is actually a great season for mushrooms, as our grocery stores feature locally picked mushrooms. The attached photo is a typical stand of mushrooms on a log. Without fungi decaying logs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin), this would be a very different world. The squirrels are going crazy, getting ready for winter, as those outside my garage door, in my backyard, show. The picture with a chimney is all that remains of a homestead house that was built a century ago or so, and the family gave the land to the state for a park, a substantial one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squak_Mountain), with many miles of trails on it.

I can never see all that there is to see in this state, mountain-, lake-, and trail-wise, as there is an embarrassment of riches to choose from, which I will never take for granted. My favorite winter hiking mountain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Mountain) would be condos today if not for the efforts of conservationists, and there is a statue (http://www.issaquahpress.com/2009/09/22/community-honors-harvey-manning-at-statue-unveiling/#more-14045) to the most active of them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Manning). Part of the mountain is being logged as I write this, alas, but most has been saved.

I also attached a picture that I took yesterday, when I hiked before going to my family’s Thanksgiving feast. That is what those woods look like in winter, when there is not any snow (which those woods get every winter, at least a little). It is a far cry from the winter woods in the northern Eastern Woodlands, which are all shades of gray and brown in the winter, without a living thing to be seen (but makes spring all the more spectacular). I will never take hiking in evergreen forests for granted.

Time for chores.

Best,

Hi:

I decided to put a little coda to my recent “choir qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307)” posts. The stakes are not any higher on Earth than in the energy situation. Anybody whose head is not in the sand knows that humanity stands on the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), on several fronts, a potential World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) not the least of them, as my great nation once again takes a blow torch to the powder keg in the Middle East (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), where all the easy energy is (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate).

The USA’s first energy crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert) ended the most prosperous period of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and spurred me and my fellow travelers into the energy issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). One of us died a premature death (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), with his life in tatters, another died in exile in South America (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#last), with his life shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) due to his journey into the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers), and another was recently run out of his home nation (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) and should be dead dozens of times over. I am the end of the line for our efforts. I witnessed the ruination of many lives, including my own, as the sledgehammer of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) came down on us repeatedly, and violence was not a stranger (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130)), which merely comes with the territory (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors).

Our journeys were so much larger than life, especially Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), that the Rockefellers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2) and Rothschilds were little more than bit players. Dennis gave the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) more than one interesting day at the office and some sleepless nights, and if he was ever free to tell the entire story, it would make Indiana Jones’s journey seem like Walter Mitty’s, and I was there for the darkest chapters.

I carried the spears of the best of the best, and mopped up the blood and buried the bodies, sometimes literally (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), and if I was free to tell my entire story, nobody would believe it, either. In the milieu that we operated in, being asked to go to Mars (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#mars) was an amusing footnote.

After dutifully carrying those spears several times, and seeing little more than blood and guts, I eventually came upon the strategy that I am trying today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). It could be called the comprehensivist's approach to FE, and something that Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) might well have tried if he was alive today. I am finished with mass movement approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). The masses do not have the right stuff, as their immediate self-interest is the limit of their awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and they not only were easily manipulated by the psychopaths that were sicced on us (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)), but they continually tried to steal our effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), like Orcs lusting after The One Ring. People probably have to see it to believe it.

Everybody that I know and know of, who played on the high road to FE and actively interacted with the public, came to their moment of disgust (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust), openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience), and so on. But the best of them overcame it, relinquished their judgment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), and just realized that they were witnessing the current state of humanity. Those in denial of that reality, and try to “do something” on the FE front, are putting themselves and those around them in peril, even leaving aside the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), which is very real, as anybody who has played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) knows beyond any doubt.

It is one thing to refrain from judging humanity’s state, and another entirely to try something that will work, while realizing that the public will be no help at all, even though they will be the biggest beneficiaries of the effort. They are not going to begin to awaken from their egocentric stupors until the means of abundance are delivered into their lives. They are not going to awaken by talk (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) or FE newcomers evangelizing their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). But it was like this (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) for all Epochal Events of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). We really did not encounter anything unusual, when the magnitude of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion) begins to be grasped. I am intimately aware of the approaches that have not worked and are unlikely to (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and no longer have any interest in them.

I am a professional problem-solver (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes) and a visionary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) who found out the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) how our world really works, and I seek those who are willing to come sing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) the song of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/26-The-Song-of-Abundance?p=37&viewfull=1#post37) with me on the global stage. I have devoted the rest of my life’s “spare” time to this task. It may be the missing piece that will catalyze a successful effort, it may turn into the effort itself, or my forum may only be a place where a comprehensive perspective is honed by its members. But nobody should have to risk their lives, and that is more important to me than anything else. I have been assailed by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), some were professionals (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning), and others have thought that they could badger me into doing things their way. With the journey I have been on, I am immune to such activities, but also avoid them if I can, as they are a waste of time and energy for all involved.

I am not the only game in town in the FE milieu, but my approach is unique. I seek needles in haystacks and know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but I like my odds and expect that what I am doing will start slowly. People cannot develop comprehensive perspectives (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) on their lunch hours.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As a little addendum to my previous post, my goal is to try something that works. I have seen what does not work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), in spades, and trying the same tread-worn paths of failure is not what I am about. Not only don’t they work, they are life-risking and life-wrecking. I have witnessed way too much carnage on my journey.

Learning to think comprehensively (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) is not easy and cannot be accomplished on a person’s weekend. Some scientific literacy is required (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), and that may include some scientific training, and I am trying to find out. But where a person’s heart is is infinitely more important (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), and people need to have already been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) for work like mine to make sense and not seem like a threat to their existence, as I take on all in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).

My work represents the end of the world as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and it scares nearly all people, instead of inspiring them. But it would have been like this for all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), if anybody could have imagined where those energy innovations would lead (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). So, the nearly universal denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) that people react to (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) the idea of FE with is normal, and if people accept the possibility or reality of FE, those other unproductive approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) are also normal, as people try to drag the baggage of scarcity and fear with them to abundance and love. It is all typical. Attacking people like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#challenge) is also normal. I have fielded thousands of reactions over the years, and have not seen anything new in a long time, as they are all variations on a few themes. If I meet the public outside of a controlled forum, the trolls swarm (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), and some are professionals (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#warning).

Therefore, only highly unusual people are going to be able to help with what I am doing, and my recent series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) was to help make clear the qualities that I seek. Everybody thinks that their heart is in the right place, that they have high personal integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), and so on, even people like Max (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell). Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) thinks that he is performing valuable work on behalf of Creation (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love), and he will kill anybody who thinks otherwise or gets in his way. People who attack me (or Dennis, or Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), etc.) are doing Godzilla’s work for him, which is why I always say that the enemy is us (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#attacks). We not only have the world that we deserve, we have the world that we created. But we can create something else, and true creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). Until we own it, we cannot change it.

Hi:

I spent several hours over the past couple of days fixing links in my big essay. I used link checkers, so have others, and I still find busted links even internal to the essay, and I don’t know how they could be missed, but they are. And then I also find busted external links. Even though I try to find the most stable links, they still get busted. And when I link to Wikipedia, editors continually change section titles, which makes my link aim too generally, and I fix those when I find them, as I have not yet found a link checker that finds those. Scientific papers disappearing comprise the biggest problem, and I have had to host some of those on my site. Brian’s doctoral thesis used to be hosted by NASA, and when it disappeared from there, I hosted it on my site (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianthesis.pdf), until somebody hosts it again, which might be never.

All in all, it takes a lot of work to keep that big essay “current,” link-wise. I think that I am done for the year with that, so I updated the .pdf versions (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#forum), too. I expect to do link fixing at least once a year for the big essay, and none of my other essays have external links like that, for this very reason. But the big essay needs them, to make the study experience as comprehensive as possible.

Hi:

It seems that I have to raise my estimate of Slate somewhat, with this article (http://www.salon.com/2015/11/28/sorry_we_killed_your_family_we_are_the_terrorists_in_the_middle_east_and_our_compliant_media_will_ne ver_tell_the_truth/), and it was on the front page of Yahoo!. Amazing. Yes indeed, the USA has long been the world’s leading terror organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#terrorism).

The kinds of “accidents” in that article are as American as apple pie. American “pioneers” regularly slaughtered friendly Indian tribes (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#misjudge), and after they were dead, the murderers would say, “Oh, we killed friendly Indians. What a shame!” Their scalps sold for the same amount as hostiles, and were actually easier to obtain, and that kind of “scalp fraud (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#headhunting)” for the bounty was an American specialty.

Salon did a good one recently (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1021466&viewfull=1#post1021466), too. Amazing to see stuff like that in the American media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). The author of that Slate article was once a Peace Corps volunteer (http://ahealedplanet.net/racket.htm#peace), and she woke up somewhere along the way. Kudos to Slate for running it. As the USA brings the world to the brink of World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), some of the media are finally drifting from the script.

Hi:

I just finished Lisa Randall’s Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, and its gist is as I originally reported it (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1022432&viewfull=1#post1022432), of reviving the periodicity hypothesis for mass extinctions, particularly with a celestial explanation. Her culprit is dark matter at the center of our galaxy, and not the spiral’s center, but the central plane. She throws in many qualifiers, but that is the gist of it. She is a physicist who stumbled into the dinosaur extinction issue by accident, with her dark matter work.

Dark matter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter) has never been seen, but current theories of gravity, combined with astronomical observations, led to the speculation that it exists, but what I read in Randall’s book went far into theoretical speculation, such as if dark matter emits dark radiation (not to be confused with dark energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy), which has also never been observed) and other aspects of something that we are not sure exists.

To her credit, Randall backed off of trying to link bolide events with mass extinctions, and settled on dark matter ejecting long-period comets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud#Comets) from the Oort cloud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud) in 30-35 million year spasms, as our solar system passed through our galaxy’s plane in its oscillations, enhanced by a hypothetical dark matter plane. I think that the evidence is highly equivocal for that, and it is a big assumption that the bolide that took out the dinosaurs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction) was a long-period comet. But Randall was kind of splashing ink across a canvass, with her colleagues, on something that further data may make clearer. It is hard to recommend the book. There are some nice summaries of cosmological trends, and what might be called the state-of-the-art, but it was very poorly edited. I saw the stray typo, which is not a good sign, but one sentence literally ended partway through, ending with a blank line, just empty space where the rest of the sentence (paragraph?) should have been. The table of large impact craters in the past 250 million years, on page 161, actually mislabeled the “dinosaur” crater, also known, as the Chicxulub crater (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater), as one that hit a million years later. That crater was the star of the book, and she mislabeled it. How sloppy. I guess that for popular audiences, that kind of attention to detail is not necessary.

Don’t get me wrong, scientists writing popular works often do it out of a sense of duty, even as a labor of love. Peter Ward (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward) could have used an editor in his books, and he noted that writing those books did nothing for his career. The profession simply does not really care to enlighten the masses. But, damn, wouldn’t some graduate student want to help, maybe get some credit, to keep sloppy stuff like that from being published? To be fair, I sometimes saw those kinds of errors in hard science books, too, which could take a while to decipher, where axes were flipped on a graph, for instance, but the editing on Randall’s book was slipshod, and she used “stuff” more than I do in my forum writings. :)

For the record, the dinosaur crater is the third largest one known on Earth, and the largest in nearly two billion years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impact_craters_on_Earth#Confirmed_impact_craters_listed_by_size). It was a big one, and the only impact crater that is considered to have caused a mass extinction.

I am going to take this opportunity to once again stress how little we really know, and how what is in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard turns the physics textbooks into doorstops. Internet surfers and other spectators are not going to get the show, but when you begin to play on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), a different reality beckons. What the “spooks” (Brian’s term) showed my friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) had his eyes bugging out of his head. When the American military says that there is nothing to UFOs, they are lying through their teeth, as Brian discovered the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130).

IMO, until the veil of secrecy lifts, not only from the national security state, but also the private levels far above it, much of the corpus of science rests on shaky ground. The antigravity technology that my friend was shown is going to put a dent in the theory of gravity, and the FE technology he was shown is going to take elementary physics and shake it apart, and he was shown much more. It is not like today’s physicists think that they have it all figured out, anyway, with the wave/particle aspect of light and subatomic particles being an unresolved enigma (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#vonneumann), and those “impossible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#impossible)” optical microscopes offer more “anomalies” that defy orthodox optical theory. If ET civilizations are really visiting Earth and they are humanoid, the books on evolution are going to have to be rewritten, perhaps radically.

In finishing on Randall’s book, she mentioned another scientist who was working on 32-million-year climate fluctuations, but when I looked him up, he was a climate change “skeptic,” speaking at one of those right-wing organizations (http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Nir_Shaviv) that flack for the Hydrocarbon Lobby. That scientist is a cosmic ray advocate for climate influence, but that is a thin reed (http://www.skepticalscience.com/cosmic-rays-and-global-warming-basic.htm) to base climate change arguments on, especially today’s, and is just one more justification for business as usual. The oil companies couldn’t be happier with scientists like that. There is no arguing that carbon dioxide traps radiation coming off of Earth, but the cosmic ray effect is very contentious. The entire global warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) “debate” is a sham. Only climate scientists who sold their souls to the hydrocarbon lobby, their dupes, and the stray contrarian scientist (all fields have them, and some contrarians seem to think it their duty to challenge the consensus) denies that humans are affecting Earth’s climate by burning hydrocarbons with abandon.

Randall finished her book by noting that we have way bigger problems on the ground than whatever is happening in the galaxy, and I agree. Whatever the galaxy is doing will have nothing whatsoever to do with our current climate issues or the Sixth Mass Extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1) that humanity has set in motion.

On another scientific note, I am currently reading Einstein’s book on relativity, written for laypeople (well, college degree, but not in physics), written in 1916, the year after he published his theory of general relativity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity). Yes, this year is the 100th anniversary of general relativity, and the theory is still going strong.

Einstein fully expected that his theories would one day be falsified, but the best parts of them would survive in the new theories (we’ll see how much survives Godzilla’s revelations). In beginning his book, Einstein noted that his presentation would not be elegant, but repetitive, but he left elegance to, “the tailor and the cobbler.” His 1952 edition stressed that there was no such thing as “empty space,” and he noted that math was not real, such as that there are no straight lines in nature. Einstein liked to work without math whenever he could. One of my favorite Einstein sayings was that the more impressive and elegant the math used to describe a theory, the more likely the theory was wrong. :)

Hi:

I am going to discuss the events on my big essay’s energy event timeline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). I am going to skip the first event – the Sun’s formation and beginning of its fusion processes – for now, but will return to it later. This post will be on the early events of life. Those were the most critical events of all life on Earth, other than the Sun’s and Earth’s formation, as they provided the energetic basis for all life on Earth.

The earliest life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lifeappears) took advantage of chemicals newly introduced to aquatic environments, and exploited the potential energy in chemical bonds (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orbit). Life had to get to those chemicals quickly, before they interacted with anything else, so the prevailing theory today is that the first life appeared at volcanic vents on the ocean floor. But until life invented enzymes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enzyme), it could not acquire energy quickly enough to fuel its processes, not quickly enough before entropy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#entropy) tore the organism apart. Therefore, enzymes had to be among the earliest features of life, along with a membrane (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#membrane) and way to reproduce itself, which was likely something like RNA (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna3). ATP is the unit of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#atp) that all life on Earth uses today. Scientists really have little idea how the first life formed, but all life on Earth today is considered to have descended from a single microbe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#luca) that lived nearly four billion years ago, and it had DNA, enzymes, ATP, a membrane, and other features, as all life on Earth today has those features. Today’s science is not going to answer the riddle of how life began on Earth, but what happened after that single ancestral microbe lived has been fairly well established. The best scientists say that today’s science is not equipped (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2) to address the issue of whether there was any intent behind life’s appearance (or the universe’s), and the story that science tells of life on Earth is one of history and process, not intent.

Even chemosynthetic organisms are ultimately powered by the Sun (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun1), as its energy input keeps Earth’s ocean and atmosphere in chemical disequilibrium with its crust. It was “only” a few hundred million years after life appeared when one organism learned a new trick to acquire energy, and photosynthesis was born (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis1). Directly capturing photon energy is the basis for all of Earth’s ecosystems, other than the few that exist at volcanic vents, where some organisms can still play the chemosynthetic game. It is thought that a respiration system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#respiration) was drafted into becoming the first photosynthetic system. As molecular biology advanced in the past century, scientists have charted evolution at the molecular level, where one atom or molecule got rearranged, which led to a new chemical process. Many theories of evolutionary processes and events have fallen by the wayside with the rise of molecular biology, as the descent relationships at the molecular level can be discerned.

Photosynthesis needs an atom/molecule to play the electron donor, and hydrogen sulfide was an electron donor (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#transport) for the earliest photosynthesizers. Basically, a hydrogen atom gets broken apart, and its electron and proton became key components of biological systems. Without hydrogen to break apart like that, life on Earth would not exist. Since life began in water, and water is mostly hydrogen, atom-wise, it was a fortuitous situation. Water is not an easy chemical to rip an electron from, but after “only” a few hundred years of photosynthesis (and perhaps less), a single photosynthesizing organism learned how to break apart water to get that electron, and oxygenic photosynthesis was born (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic). It is amazing to think that all life on Earth is descended from a solitary microbe, that all photosynthesizers are descended from a single microbe, and that all oxygenic photosynthesizers are descended from a single microbe, but the evidence is strong for all three notions.

The importance of the development of oxygenic photosynthesis cannot be overstated. It prevented Earth’s water from being lost to space (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hydrogen), as happened with Venus and Mars. The resultant atmospheric oxygen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation) dramatically changed Earth’s geochemical and geophysical systems. That oxygen formed the ozone layer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ozone), which shields Earth’s surface from ultraviolet light, making complex life on land possible, and was also responsible for allowing life to leave the ocean. Many scientists, when considering all the dynamics that make life on Earth possible, eventually get the suspicion that it is not just one big accident. Einstein wrote of “cosmic religious feeling (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#einstein)” illuminating science’s greatest minds, when pondering astronomy and cosmology, and many Earth and life scientists get a similar feeling when investigating the miracle that is life on Earth.

This is going to be the first of many posts on the seminal energy events of life on Earth, including the human journey.

Wade

Hi Ulli:

That is one way to do FE. :)

To all:

Writing about the energy events is fun for me. The next four events on the energy event table (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) were also of immense importance. It took from 700,000 to more than one billion years after oxygenic photosynthesis appeared for some organisms to begin using oxygen in respiration. Oxygen is very reactive, and using it in biology was a dangerous proposition, like cooking with gasoline. Oxidative stress is thought to be a key aspect of aging, and oxygenic respiration created reactive oxygen species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ros) that can be very damaging to a cell’s molecules. But oxygenic respiration also released a great deal more energy than previous forms of respiration. So, there was a big energy boost, but it came with a cost, and antioxidants are one way that organisms attempt to reduce that cost.

Somewhere around when aerobic respiration appeared, the key event in the rise of complex life happened: one microbe absorbed another (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#complex), and both lived. They entered into a symbiosis, and the absorbed microbe (bacteria) became the first mitochondrion, and the “host” microbe (an Archaean) became the first complex cell. It is thought that the first mitochondrion produced hydrogen, as a byproduct of its respiration, which the host consumed. Only later did they switch to oxygen from hydrogen, probably as oxygen became more plentiful. Complex life would not have arisen without that event, and it confounded Darwin’s idea of evolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin), of gradual changes. That symbiotic event was radical and of eonic significance.

At the same time, or perhaps a billion years later (these date ranges show the great uncertainty of when the events happened, but there is almost no doubt that they did), another seminal event happened, when a complex cell enveloped a cyanobacteria (the ones that produce oxygen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis2)), and that cyanobacteria became the first chloroplast (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chloroplast), which led to plants. Other than those marginal chemosynthetic ecosystems, cyanobacteria form the energetic foundation of all marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are the energy engines of all complex life.

Around the same time, or perhaps hundreds of millions of years later, the atmosphere got oxygenated (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goe2) to levels approaching modern ones, which eventually led to oxygen-breathing animals, although there is still fierce controversy over the chain of events.

Pound-for-pound, complex life uses energy 100,000 times as fast (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy2) as the Sun produces it. Life is an incredibly energy-intensive process.

Wade

Hi:

On to the next energy events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). Around 700 million years ago, the first animal appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#animals), and it may have been like a sponge. Animals are the first large-scale energy users. The first animals did not move anything other than their flagella. The rise of animals was intertwined with a global ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cryogenian1), probably the greatest that Earth has yet seen, and there is great controversy over the interaction of events. But those first animals began the trend of large, multicellular animals, and the first ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ediacaran) would have been very strange-looking to modern eyes, not really looking like the animals we know at all. Those animals may not have been possible until the deep ocean was oxygenated, and it seems to have begun in the dynamics of that ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#canfield2). The greatest carbon isotope excursions in Earth’s history are related to ice ages, which reflect dramatic changes in the ocean’s chemistry. Just what caused those excursions is still hotly debated.

The oxygenation of the deep ocean was a prerequisite for the most dramatic event in the history of complex life: the Cambrian Explosion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem). The event vexed scientists from Darwin onward, but as more evidence has been amassed and hypotheses developed, the Cambrian Explosion is no longer so bizarre or unexplainable. Evolution and geophysical and geochemical processes (which interacted with life processes, such as that oxygen production) developed to the point (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cambriancause) where animals could thrive in new ways, and complex life’s “arms war” began. More than anything else, the Cambrian Explosion was about size. Bigger was better, in vying for survival, and it took energy to do that.

The energy “decision” that life has, whether to use its energy to build itself or run itself (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#budget), began becoming a “science” during the Cambrian Explosion. The first animals that we would recognize as animals were likely worms (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worms), and animals began developing their organs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#size3), which included the brain. The Cambrian Explosion only happened once for animals, and set the body plans that all animals have today, including humans. Nothing has radically changed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#foundation) for animals since the Cambrian Explosion.

Some eel-like animals developed the first teeth (http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/Conodont), which was an important energy innovation, and when jaws were invented more than 100 million years later (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jaws), the key energy innovation event of vertebrates had come to pass, until the rise of humans.

The evolution of animals during and after the Cambrian Explosion was all about how to survive and thrive, and it was always an energy game. The ocean’s most complex ecosystems appeared in the Cambrian: reefs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef#Reefs_in_the_past). Animals that generated the largest energy surplus survived (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), while those that did not became marginalized and extinct. Mass extinction events came early and often, and in those early days of rising oxygen levels, it seems that anoxic events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctions) were largely responsible for most early mass extinctions. Nearly all animals had gone “all in” with aerobic respiration, and when the oxygen supply was cut off, those with superior respiration systems lived (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse) while those with less effective ones died off. Somewhat ironically, marine anoxic events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#anoxicoil) are responsible for forming the oil deposits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oilformation) that humanity burns with such abandon today.

In the Ordovician, which succeeded the Cambrian, the marine biomes got filled out as animals diversified, and during the Ordovician (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ordovician), the first plants made their way to land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#landplants).

The first of the Big Five mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ordovicianextinction) was triggered by the first ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#saharanice) in the eon of complex life, and hothouse periods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianwarming) have alternated with ice ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iceagetable), which, as usual, are all about energy. After that first Big Five extinction event, reefs grew dramatically (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#silurianreefs), and the colonization of land began in earnest. Plants had to lead it, as animals would have had nothing to eat, and land plants had around 50 million years of bliss on land before animals arrived (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#landanimal). Only a few animal phyla were able to make the transition from the ocean to land, and the first were arthropods, which were also the first dominant animals in the ocean (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arthropod1).

Hi:

I saw this today (http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Other-Energy-Companies-Accused-Of-Downplaying-Climate-Change.html), on how the Hydrocarbon Lobby has been creating the fake appearance of a “debate” on Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming). Some public officials are finally beginning to wake up. The article even mentioned how it was similar to what the tobacco companies did on the health effects of smoking, which I am highly familiar with (http://ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#milloy). The Global Warming “skepticism,” tobacco harm “skepticism,” and organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) make for some very strange bedfellows, but they were. Mr. Skeptic fell over himself congratulating that tobacco company front man (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#milloy) for flaying the “junk science” of scientists who investigated the harm of tobacco smoke. They all made Orwellian use of the term “skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=316&viewfull=1#post316).”

Hi:

Somebody with a comprehensive orientation tries to see the connections between events and phenomena, ranks causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proximate), and when looking into the past, not only does the comprehensive-thinking person try to see what happened, but why, and even thinks about how things might have turned out differently. Historians (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity), for instance, try to maintain a sense of contingency, and not describe what happened as inevitable, but just what happened. In theory, the past can be learned from, to make better decisions in the present.

A great deal of the journey of life on Earth was affected by sexual reproduction. Sex made for rapid genetic innovation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sex) (which is likely why it prevailed), but it brought many costs as well as benefits. When plants moved to land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#landplants), like the animals that came after them, a new environment posed new problems that required new solutions. Vascular plants appeared after tens of millions of years of moss-like plants on land, and vascular plants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#devonianforests) allowed growth above the ground, and it is thought that the first purpose in growing vertically was for reproduction, to spread spores. Getting an advantage over other plants, to capture more sunlight (or avoid animals), came later.

Lignin (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin) was the great innovation by plants to become vascular. Lignin is a polymer that was first used for forming vascular structures in plants, and like so many other multi-use evolutionary innovations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dualuse), lignin was eventually used for building strong plant structures, which we call wood today. Lignin allowed plants to grow tall, become trees (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firsttrees), and form the basis for most terrestrial ecosystems. Forests comprise nearly all of complex life’s biomass on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biomass3).

It took about 100 million years for anything on Earth to learn how to digest lignin (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#whiterot), and in that 100-million-year period, most of Earth’s coal deposits were formed, from those trees that could not rot. Forests became immense repositories of biomass and nutrients, and without them, land animals might never have made their rise.

About ten million years after trees appeared, the first fish began migrating to land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tetrapods). The oxygen issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lowoxygen) may have been why it was not until the third attempt to invade land that fish succeeded (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tournasian). At about the same time as fish began migrating to land, seed plants appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#seed1), which was a seminal innovation that allowed plants to begin colonizing drier lands. About 50 million years after seed plants began colonizing higher and drier lands, land vertebrates developed an egg (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reptile) that did not have to be laid in water, and amniotes were able to live in those lands dominated by seed plants. As far as humanity goes, those were the major energy innovations that led to the appearance of the human line, other than the appearance of flowering plants, discussed below.

The line that led to mammals grew fur, grew specialized teeth, and grew relatively large brains from the beginning (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mammalsdevelop), but those were all minor events compared to what had transpired by 300 million years ago. The mammal line lived in colder climates than what became dinosaurs, and when a 100-million-year ice age ended, and a 200-million-year hothouse Earth age began (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianwarming) (and the greatest extinction even ever hit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#permianextinction)), the dinosaur line (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lystrosaurus1) was better adapted to take advantage of the situation and quickly came to dominate terrestrial ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carnian), until that bolide hit Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cretaceousextinction). Then, mammals crept from their burrows and had their day in the sun (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paraceratherium), which continues today.

Probably the only other significant energy innovation until the rise of humans, in the past 300 million years, was when some plants decided to stop trying to protect themselves from animals and feed them instead (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#flowers), as a way to reduce their reproduction (and even defense) costs. It was the greatest symbiosis of plant and animal life ever, and one mammalian line (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#primate1) specialized in exploiting the tropical canopy, rich with fruit energy, and that line led to humans.

That ends the pre-human energy events (although my next one will be on the Sun’s and Earth’s formation), and the human events will follow in future posts. In my big essay, I had a chapter that reflected on the essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#midpoint) before humanity arrived on the evolutionary scene, and I will make the same point here, that all of those pre-human energy events are vitally important to understand. Not only are they important for developing a comprehensive understanding of how Earth worked and currently works, but they also help make my visionary chapter on humanity’s Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) easier to understand.

Those readers who wanted me to cut to the chase of the human chapters (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path), and thought that the earlier ones were an unnecessary diversion, or who just want to cut to the chase of making FE happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worked), do not yet understand. I need comprehensive thinkers for my idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to have a chance. I saw what superficial thinking led to, and it was catastrophic for the FE pursuit. I have always stressed that where a person’s heart is (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) is the most important quality that I seek, by a long way, but we have to also raise our sentience if we are going to turn the corner as a species.

Best,

Hi:

I am taking a little energy event break, and will write on a subject that came up this past weekend on a hike with a friend who is pretty hip, and he got both barrels of Wade’s World on our hike. :)

Perhaps the most important understanding that I have to offer for those who get beyond denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) of FE is that the public is not going to help at all, or worse, will cheer as FE martyrs get barbecued (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1) by the many agents of organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). About the best that anybody is going to get, if they try to work their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), is a kind of lazy Level 4 acceptance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4), where people will happily use an FE device if it can be delivered to them, preferably for free. At worst, the proselytizer will be ostracized. I have not only seen friendships end over my work; I have even seen careers end due to FE proselytizing. If people who “get it” find even one other person in their social circles who does, they will have hit the jackpot. Such people are very few and far between.

And every crowd that ever heard of FE had many in its ranks who wanted to steal it all (which is initially shocking to witness (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked)), as they aspired to become the Bill Gates of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11). And some in the milieu fancied themselves as its Jesus Christ (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah). My fellow travelers and I learned those lessons the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), and if there is anything that I am trying to help prevent the people that I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) from learning the hard way, it is that lesson (and appropriate respect for Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), although he can’t be the focus of a successful FE effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), IMO). Beginning to understand the big picture, and understanding that so few know or care, is one of the loneliest feelings on Earth, and not many can handle it. I watch people get overwhelmed and fly off the handle all the time, go off the deep end (even into mental institutions), run away, etc., as they cannot maintain a balanced perspective when dealing with these issues, which are the biggest that humanity currently faces (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Next to the energy issue, nothing matters on Earth today.

There are a zillion ways that people fail to grasp a message like mine, but only a few paths to understanding, as far as I have seen. I found that those misunderstandings were always rooted in fear (which arises from scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant)), which usually manifests in either denial or obsession (which also characterizes the political spectrum (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness)). The crazed reactions that Brian received (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) as he played the Paul Revere of FE are some of them, and those came from the “smart.” So-called “intelligence” really does not have much to do with the issue, although some mental horsepower is required (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313).

For those who have played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), those understandings are dismaying, heartbreaking, and even disgusting (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#disgust), but that is the human condition these days. For those still active and productive, they relinquished any judgments they may have had (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) and learned to accept it, and tried to see what the human potential was, not the current human condition. That can only be accomplished with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). People have never woken up with talk. It does not work that way. All of the true awakenings that I encountered (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) happened via experience. FE means the end of the world as we know it, and the super-Epoch of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will be as unimaginable to us in its own way as the previous Epochal Events were (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), even with visions like these (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions) to chew on.

The fact is that as humanity’s collective wealth (AKA energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287)) increased, societies became more humane. The USA is one of the few industrial nations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_by_country#Industrialized_world) that still practices the barbarity of executions, but we are the new Rome (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#subsequent) and have always lagged far behind our “peers” in human rights (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record), although brainwashed Americans (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) often think differently.

I carried the spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) of the best of the best for many years before I decided that no matter how high-minded, big-hearted, and courageous the efforts of those heroes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1) were, it was not going to be enough, not nearly. So, I am doing something different, and those I respected the most on these issues immediately understood that I was doing something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852).

For those relatively new to the Internet, back in the 1990s, I was never in a forum of anonymous people. We were all real people, and I could see glimmers of the Internet’s potential, but that changed after 9/11 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc). From 1996, when I put up my first site, until early 2002, I always had my email address on my site and took on all comers. It was educational and rarely unpleasant, and some of my best cyberpals came to me that way. After 9/11, however, the USA lost its collective sanity and I began to receive a barrage of attacks, and almost always from anonymous cowards, with even personal threats in their diatribes. I then withdrew from public interaction for several years and did not begin to engage the public again until my monster of a mid-life crisis had ended (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife). When I began to venture out again, in 2007, not only had almost all forums become anonymous venues, but they were dominated by trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), almost invariably of the anonymous coward variety. Whenever I appeared in a forum, the trolls swarmed, and after they got me kicked out of a forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll1), unbelievably, I decided that I would only interact with the public again via my own forum, but Bill Ryan was learning the same lessons that I did, and I have been in a troll-free forum (at least my threads! (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1) :) ) for nearly five years, even though almost everybody still is anonymous.

I seek to use this new tool called the Internet, to build an effort with a global reach, and see if the Internet can begin to realize its potential. Anonymous Internet chatter and flame wars will not get anything done, but a choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) might be able to.

In a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), extremely few people extend their awareness past their immediate self-interest, as survival and temporary satiation of their addictions is all that matters, but if that pressure was relieved, could we see a flowering of the human potential? I think that it is very possible, and humanity could become a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive). It seems like a worthwhile goal. :) If we don’t awaken, and soon, it may well be game over for humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). But if enough of us do, our world can look a lot like heaven on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). Which do we choose (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#utopia)?

Hi:

This guy (http://www.peakprosperity.com/insider/95544/murder-and-mayhem-middle-east) is a Peak Oiler (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil), and they are always highly resistant (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), if not openly afraid (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), of the idea of FE, but at least they get that it is all about the oil in the Middle East (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Those before and after pictures (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-01/us-intervention-and-after) of nations that we and our puppet “allies” recently “liberated” are telling. I am going to attach a picture that I have run before, from a few years ago.

Hi:

Back to the energy events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), but before I get to the human journey, I will visit the first one, when the Sun began its fusion process (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sun). I have been reading alternative cosmologies since Seth’s views on the matter about 40 years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth), when he said that Earth is trillions of years old. When I stumbled into the Velikovsky controversy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky) 20 years ago, I also got a snootful of alternative cosmologies, such as Halton Arp’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Arp) challenge to the idea of an expanding universe. I believe in the scientific process, while acknowledging its limitations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox). If Seth or any other channel could provide ways to scientifically test such “trillion-years-old” ideas, or show where scientists have the wrong ideas about time and dating, and such ideas could be tested, I would be more impressed.

The bottom line is that we have not yet left our solar system, so we are galactic infants and are a long way from figuring it all out. But I have yet to see alternative cosmologies really pan out, although electric universe proponents, among others, think that their work has. Even if our universe came into being in an instant called the Big Bang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang), which seems like Genesis’s “Let there be light” warmed over, it does not say anything about a creator (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2), other dimensions, in which time and space may be meaningless, and so on.

That book that I recently discussed (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=320&viewfull=1#post320), by Lisa Randall, covers the basics of orthodox cosmology, and books such as Ward and Brownlee’s Rare Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth_%28book%29) discuss cosmological ideas, such as why Earth may be a very rare planet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth_hypothesis). I am not going to challenge the orthodox cosmology, other than to note that the technologies that a fellow traveler witnessed (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) brings standard notions of physics into question. Until evidence like that makes into orthodoxy, it is playing a small game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#irrelevant), and most scientists don’t even suspect it.

I think that the evidence is strong that our solar system formed from primordial hydrogen and the detritus of stars, and the accretion disk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disk) model I think is very persuasive. The bottom line is that making a star is pretty simple business: get a bunch of hydrogen together and let gravity do the rest. Get enough of that hydrogen in one place and gravity will overcome the reluctance of hydrogen nuclei to fuse, and a star is born (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beginning). Earth is thought to have formed around 50 million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#planets) after the Sun’s fusion reactions became sustained, along with the rest of the planets, and the Moon is likely the result of a collision between Earth and a neighboring body (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#moon), maybe a planet.

Without the solar energy that the Sun has been showering Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sunenergy) with for the past 4.5 billion years, the game of life would have never begun on Earth. The Sun is the author of the feast, and we are all guests.

Hi:

Here come the human-line energy events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). Animals have been using tools for hundreds of millions of years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tools1), so tool-use in the human line is far from a unique event, but crafted stone tools were something new and unusual. Other tools of similar sophistication were certainly made by the human line, but only stone tools survived for millions of years after their making to be collected and studied by scientists. The first stone tools yet found are more than three million years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1). But while those stone tools were vitally important for the australopiths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biped) who invented them (which millions of years of upright posture enabled), they really were not something radically different. They were essentially artificial teeth and claws, which neighboring animals in Africa had in abundance. Those stone tools made scavenging an easier proposition, for sure, but it was hardly noticeable. If today’s chimps are any indication (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpculture2), and scientists are almost certain of it, the human line had been making relatively sophisticated use of tools for millions of years before the first stone tools were crafted.

While stone tools were certainly a seminal event for the human line, I don’t list it as an important energy event and it paled in comparison to the next big invention: controlling fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biped). As I have written plenty, I have been quite taken with Richard Wrangham’s Cooking Hypothesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking), and we live in times when that hypothesis is being put to the test. I will likely follow that controversy with interest for the rest of my life. Was fire controlled as much as two million years ago (or more), as Wrangham posits, or was it “only” a million years ago? Whatever the consensus is in a generation, the control of fire was the big one, and until this day, all human societies are oriented around the control of fire, from campfires to coal-fired power plants. Fire was the big game changer for humanity, something without remote precedent in the history of life on Earth. Just how much it had to do with growing our huge, energy-hogging brains (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpbrain) is one of the most interesting controversies that I stumbled into while I studied for writing my big essay.

I combined stone tools and controlling fire into the first Epochal Event of my framework (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1). Growing our brains and controlling fire were related, and maybe intimately. I doubt that they can convincingly be disentangled for now. But if they ever are, there may turn out to be two Epochal Events instead of one, but I am probably always going to lump them together, as they were the key energy developments between australopiths and behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). When humans mastered language, that was likely the beginning of behavioral modernity, or real close to it. Darwin wrote that the control of fire and the mastery of language (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#language) were humanity’s greatest accomplishments, and I won’t disagree. Those formed the foundation for all that happened afterward, and the rest is relatively insignificant.

Readers might have noticed that for many events in this narrative of energy events, the earliest ones were by far the most important, and what happened afterward was relatively insignificant. Without that miraculous instance of predation or colonization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#complex), complex life would not exist. If not for the Sun, the game of life on Earth would have never begun. With the Fifth Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), humanity will become a space-faring species, and a super-Epoch of abundance will arrive, and humanity will form a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). On a galactic level, it is the big event, similar to a civilization achieving “warp drive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive),” in Star Trek jargon. Our corner of the galaxy will sit up and take notice if we achieve it. The impact of FE cannot be overstated, but it rides on the shoulders of all of those preceding energy events that I have sketched.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

The appearance of Homo erectus was a big event in the human line (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus). It was really the last significant anatomical change in the human line, as with a few facial prosthetics a Homo erectus could have walked down a street today without attracting much attention, and their brains eventually became almost as large as modern humans’. The Acheulean toolkit (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#acheulean) could be called one of craftsmanship, and Homo erectus was likely the first to practice the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. But the next game-changing innovation would have been projectile weapons, and the earliest found so far are 400,000 years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#msa), but made by a successor species and Homo sapiens’s direct ancestor, Homo heidelbergensis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#heidelbergensis), and their Middle Stone Age toolkit evidenced advanced cognitive abilities. Those projectile weapons were energy weapons, transmitting and concentrating muscle energy to bring down large animals and reduce the risk to the hunters. Leveraging muscle energy came later, with atlatls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear-thrower) and the bow and arrow, but they were not significant enough, IMO, to give them their own event on my timeline, as they were mere enhancements.

Homo sapiens became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) about 60,000 years ago, and the first boats (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#boat1) allowed them to leave Africa (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) and begin conquering Earth. Boats were part of the sophisticated toolkit that made behaviorally modern humans an irresistible force, and they quickly conquered Earth and drove all of Earth’s easy meat to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused), as well as all competing human species, especially Neanderthals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal). It was the Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), and on the new continents, Australia (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#australianmegafauna) and the Americas (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#westernmegafauna), that golden age only lasted a few thousand years. The wide open spaces and energy-rich territories shrank, and it was back to violent conflicts with neighbors, and warfare began in earnest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare1). Each time a new energy source was exploited, there was a brief golden age, but each one ended all too quickly, as humans depleted their energy resources, which happens to this day (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII).

Human brains achieved their greatest size about 30,000 years ago, about 10% larger than today’s, and the energy events that follow had little or nothing to do with changing human biology, but cultural and cognitive changes. All of today’s humans have the same basic biological equipment. It is how we condition it that differs, including our brains.

Hi:

Of immense value to scientists reconstructing the journey of life on Earth is that some lifestyles have been pursued for billions of years, and those remnant populations have given scientists a window into the past. The first known fossils are of cyanobacteria colonies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#photosynthesis2), known as stromatolites, and in a few places on Earth, where the conditions are too hostile for animals that could eat the colonies, they still exist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromatolite#Modern_occurrence). There is little reason to think that those colonies would have been constructed much differently from today’s, so those colonies give scientists a window into the past.

In the eon of complex life, there are also remnant organisms, and some are not so remnant. Mosses were among the first land plants, and they still do fine. In the rainforest where I live (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm), mosses abound. Among the earliest vascular plants were horsetails (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#horsetail) and ferns. Conifer forests first appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conifer) around 300 million years ago, during an ice age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#karoo2), and the rainforest where I live is a conifer forest, with horsetails and ferns. As far as the flora goes, that rainforest does not look dramatically different from what existed almost 300 million years ago.

In the ocean, we have nautiloids (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nautiloids) and coelacanths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bottleneck), which give us windows into the past. The biologies and lifestyles of those animals have not appreciably changed in hundreds of millions of years. They found a niche that never quite disappeared, and are still with us today.

Getting closer to humanity, today’s great apes have not appreciably changed in millions of years, and today’s chimps likely do not look much different from the ancestor that the human line split from (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpsplit). Studying the great apes, and especially chimps, has provided many insights into human behaviors. Monkeys have not greatly changed in tens of millions of years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#monkeysplit), and studying them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1) has also provided a window into our ancestry.

When the story got to humans, again, isolated populations did not change much for tens of thousands of years, and provided a window into the human past. Australian aborigines never developed agriculture and retained their hunter-gatherer lifestyle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tasmania1). Invading Europeans quickly drove aborigines to the brink extinction, but what was recorded by early observers gave scientists a window into the past, however fleeting it was. Today, with the rise of DNA testing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dna), humanity’s migration path from Africa is clearly discerned, and aboriginal Australians, Negritos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#negrito), and some sub-Saharan hunter-gatherers are all relict groups that have existed, relatively unchanged, from the original migration from Africa, and have provided insights into the earliest religions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing), warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare1), and languages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kung).

To briefly revisit the costs and benefits of sexual reproduction (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey?p=325&viewfull=1#post325), sexual selection is an avenue of evolutionary novelty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#display1), and is why for the human line, going back to monkeys, males are larger and stronger than females. All sexually reproducing organisms have developed methods to prevent in-breeding, and it is biologically baked into humans with the incest taboo (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#incest), but there were also societal dynamics. With monkeys, males leave their natal societies to live after they become adults. That matrilocal social organization has a pedigree of tens of millions of years, but Africa’s great apes broke that trend and became patrilocal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), in which females left their natal societies to mate.

Because males were already bigger and stronger, that situation led to violent male dominance of African great ape societies, and with chimp societies, a modern observer might call them rule by sociopathic gangs. Monkeys engage in crude forms of human politics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), but chimps took it to another level (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chimpculture2) and they are the only animals besides humans to plan genocidal attacks against their neighbors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary). They kill all the males and infants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1), and take their territory and fertile females as the spoils of genocide.

In a development that provides some hope for humanity, when gorillas left the region south of the Congo River as the rainforest shrank during our ice age, the remaining chimps learned to eat gorilla foods, their foraging parties could grow, and non-dominant males and females ended the rule of violent male gangs, and bonobo societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) are more peaceful than any human society ever was.

Something similar happened in the early days of the Domestication Revolution. Humans had a sexual division of labor, in which men did the hunting and warring, and women did the gathering and childrearing. In a few places on Earth conducive to it, women began to domesticate plants as an adjunct to their gathering duties (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), and humans became permanently sedentary for the first time, other than a brief period when “mammoth villages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gravettian)” existed. Women began to bring in more calories than men, their status rose, and they broke a dynamic at least ten million years old when those societies became matrilocal. It broke up the male gangs, and those became the most peaceful societies of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), before the Industrial Revolution. The Eastern Woodlands of North America were dominated by horticultural matrilineal societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mississippian) when Europeans began invading, and those societies were so attractive to the invaders that running off and “going native” (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive) was an epidemic problem.

Because of the relative gentleness of those horticultural societies, when civilizations eventually arose from those societies, their beginnings were always peaceful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pristine1). It was only when urbanity began that men asserted their dominance again, violently conquered early civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy), and became the first elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). Women’s status universally declined with the rise of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and stayed that way until the demographic transition of the Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). This is not just a historical curiosity. The group that tyrannically rules humanity from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is comprised almost entirely, if not entirely, of men. Male-dominated societies are doomed, and women need to step up (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gangs) if humanity is going to turn the corner.

Women’s domestication of plants (and to a lesser extent, animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goat)), made civilization possible, and as such is one of the key events of the human journey, of epochal significance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3). The energy innovations began coming fast and furiously with the advent of civilization, which will be the subject of upcoming posts.

Hi:

A little odds and ends post. Earlier in the day, I was going to write a declining empire post, related to the deterioration of the USA’s postal service. It has been happening for many years, but now it is getting so bad that I am being forced into joining the electronic payment world, which I have paid a premium to avoid for years, but the post office in the USA is getting so bad that I have had several checks get lost in the mail this year. They are not always just lost, but can get there several weeks late. I had a situation about a decade ago where two payments that I made on the same day got there several months later. I recently had a payment to me get returned to sender as undeliverable, but the address was fine (I worked at the payer’s business), and it was not the only situation like that this year.

As readers know, it is not that I am a computing illiterate or a luddite (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/85-Computers-and-me), but I actually designed electronic payments systems professionally. I am like a chef who avoids restaurants, because I know what happens in the kitchens. Electronic theft is the new bank robbery, and America’s banks are poor at keeping their patrons protected (especially in these “war on cash (http://www.acting-man.com/?p=41746)” days), and the push for electronic commerce is partly to push the banks’ risk onto the customers. But the post office is screwing up so badly that it is not worth it anymore. I am going to electronic payments, but with a new bank with low limits, so my exposure is small. With my public profile, I also have some unique risks that I try to minimize.

Last week, that shooting in Colorado (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Colorado_Springs_shooting) was perpetrated by a man who lived close to one of my pals. When I asked if the guy lived nearby, my pal thought I was joking, and then realized that he drove by the man’s house each week. In the gun-nut USA, there is a mass shooting about once a day (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/oct/02/mass-shootings-america-gun-violence), and as I sat down to write this I read of another that happened today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_shooting), which killed at least 14 people. The mass shooting rate is more than one a day for 2015 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/01/2015-274-days-294-mass-shootings-hundreds-dead/). This is what the disintegration of a society looks like. Several people in my life have been affected by mass shootings, even my wife, over the years, and I when I worked at that medical lab (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#experience), one of our clerks was gunned down in a drive-by shooting. Just a few months ago, I was hiking with somebody who works for the federal government, and he described being in a building when one of those “going postal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_postal)” events happened, and saw people stumbling out of an elevator, covered in blood, fleeing the shooter. The USA had history’s largest and richest middle class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) in the human journey, but those days are long gone and that middle class is vanishing fast. That the USA is risking World War III (http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/11/05/pers-n05.html) right now, and this is not coming from the lunatic fringe (1 (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/world-war-iii-trends-twitter-putin-decries-turkeys-stab-back-n468881), 2 (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29190890), 3 (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/255052-trump-gop-rivals-want-to-start-world-war-iii-over-syria), 4 (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-01/syrian-proxy-war-world-war-iii-esque-summary)), is no great surprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII).

My alternative media education began (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=310&viewfull=1#post310) when I subscribed to Lies of Our Times (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#loot) (LOOT), and the first issues I read were published during the drumbeat for war, and I remember seeing an article in LOOT back then on The New York Times’s business section (which Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) says is the most honest part of the newspaper), on the business opportunities that the upcoming war would afford, and one was on prosthetics and other aids for crippled veterans returning home, and the big play was wheelchairs. The article literally had a picture of a wheelchair. It was not some Onion-like parody, but a serious article on business opportunities. I saw a similar one today on Global Warming (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/7-surprising-ways-to-cash-in-on-climate-change-152938834.html), on how to cash in on the catastrophe. It is kind of “funny” reading an article like that, when at the same time, the oil companies are being likened to the tobacco companies, in their campaigns against scientific findings that are bad for business, such as Global Warming. I wrote something recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=324&viewfull=1#post324) on it, and saw this article today (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/big-oil-big-tobacco-050100944.html). Of course, in all the falderal, don’t expect to see any mention of FE. I am used to the surreal. :)

Hi:

Back to the energy events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents). The Domestication Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) was a radical departure from what came before. Growing crops allowed people to extract orders of magnitude more energy from the land, led to orders of magnitude greater population densities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#population1), and agriculture led to civilization. The first metal was smelted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#copper) a few centuries after the first city was established (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer). The energy surplus of civilization allowed for the first professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions) and an increase in humanity’s collective skills. Cities also allowed for the quick dissemination of information and ideas, and there were positive feedbacks that began a steep ascent to the world that we live in today. On a geological timescale (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#geologictime1), it has all happened in the blink of an eye, during a brief interlude between the ice sheets (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#icesheetsmelt) that have dominated the Northern Hemisphere for the past million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#milankovitch2).

The advantages of metal over stone and wood were obvious, and about the time of the first smelted metals, they were used for plows (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#plow), to increase agricultural yields. A millennium later, the sailboat was invented (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat1), which was the first motive technology that did not rely on muscle power. A few centuries later, the wheel was invented (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wheel), which reduced the energy costs of overland travel. These innovations all happened in the same region, as inventions multiplied. Around the same time, coal was first burned (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke), which was the first fuel used that was not recently captured sunlight energy. Burning coal released energy that was captured hundreds of millions of years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin).

Around when coal was first burned, humans were able to create blast furnaces and achieve the temperatures needed to smelt iron (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ironage), which was a highly superior metal to copper and bronze, for tools and weapons. More than a millennium later, coal was first used to smelt metal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke), although it would be more millennia before humanity truly embraced that practice. A millennium later, the watermill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill) and windmill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#heron) were invented, along with the first steam engine. With the exception of smelting with coal (China), all of those energy innovations described above first appeared in the Fertile Crescent and vicinity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran).

Along with all of that energy inventiveness, writing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#writing), new weaponry, new forms of social-political organization, and the like appeared. Elites arose with civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) and are still with us. Warfare began to be waged on an epic scale (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), as polities fought over resources, as usual (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), and no early civilization was energetically sustainable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), as deforestation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) and intensive agriculture are not sustainable. All early civilizations collapsed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) as they ran out of energy.

Within a spasm of a few millennia, all of the major innovations of agrarian civilizations were accomplished. Nothing really changed much until Europe began to exploit water power like never before (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#watermill1) and accomplished the feat of turning the world’s ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#portugal). Then the world radically changed once again, and the next Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) soon arrived.

Hi:

Generating an energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287) has always been the name of the game on Earth. Organisms, species, and civilizations that had a healthy one did well, while those that did not exited the stage on Earth. For each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), the energy surplus increased. But also, for each Epoch of the human journey, they burned through their energy resources. When behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) conquered Earth, they became energy windfall opportunists extraordinaire. First, Earth’s easy meat went (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#meateroi), and when that was gone, then it was forests and soils (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy), and in the current Epoch, it is hydrocarbon energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse). In the early days of plundering each new energy resource, there was a brief golden age of plenty (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), and those human societies were relatively peaceful. But as the energy supplies were plundered to exhaustion, societies began fighting over energy resources, and those that lost the game vanished while the winners prevailed.

What we see in the Middle East today (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), with the world on the brink of World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), is merely the Fourth Epoch’s version of that dynamic, as all of Earth’s remaining plentiful and easily extracted hydrocarbons are there. Everything else that happens is noise and distraction. The imperial indoctrination systems (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded) try to make it seem like something else (spreading freedom and other idiocies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading)), but nobody besides the brainwashed imperial class (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays) believes it, and few of them really believe it (http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/15/considering-the-obvious/), but the lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm) are only crude justifications for oppression and violence against the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup).

Liberating hydrocarbon energy is by far humanity’s greatest energy act so far, and coal was first (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke). As I studied for writing my big essay, I came to realize that coal was initially more important to the Industrial Revolution for smelting metal than it was for generating power. They were closely conjoined, as the commercial steam engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steamengine1) was invented the next year, and it was used to enable coal mining to dig under the water table. But without the metal, there would be no steam engines. It took more than a century for coal power to overtake wind and water power in England and the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#waterpower). For each Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), it started out relatively primitively and became more sophisticated over the Epoch, and more surplus was generated. But each Epoch had around an order of magnitude difference in energy generation, and in today’s industrial-technological civilization, an energy surplus of about forty times the calories that feed a person is generated. At the beginning of the industrial revolution, it was only about eight, but it was less than two for the most advanced agrarian civilizations. And when that surplus energy feeds machines instead of humans, it is ten times as efficient for generating work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), and that is why industrial societies have such high standards of living. Nothing else really matters.

It is no accident that that hallowed institution, slavery (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), ended when industrialization began. Even a generation before the rise of industrial watermills (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), the end of slavery was unimaginable.

A century after the rise of coal and machines, a new way to use that power was discovered: electricity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#electricity). It was the harbinger of what is sometimes called the Industrial Revolution, stage two. It took the better part of a century before electricity found its first mass application, for lighting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#edison), and only a decade later, the developer of electric lighting lost the “war” of which electric standard would prevail (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tesla1) and power the world. The “victory” was somewhat pyrrhic for the inventor, Nikola Tesla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#edison), and the “loser,” Thomas Edison, is a household name today. The rise of industrial empires in those days was dominated by what are today called “robber barons,” a new kind of elite, and they are still with us today. The greatest of them all became history’s richest human (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1), as he quickly commandeered the rising new energy source, oil. Oil is history’s greatest material prize, and explains everything that has happened in the Middle East for the past century (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#churchill1). It is all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), and everything else is noise.

Those dynamics of Edison, Tesla, robber barons, and oil are not merely a historical curiosity, but the direction of humanity’s current energy trajectory was set back then. Rockefeller interests were involved in wiping out Dennis’s and my companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller2) on more than one occasion. We came to find out that what Tesla was pursuing, free energy (FE) for the masses, was more than a fantasy; FE technology is older than I am (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), developed to a commercial level generations ago, but it is kept under wraps by the global elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), whom we had numerous encounters with on our journeys.

Immediately after I became Dennis’s partner, we were offered $10 million to the rights for Dennis’s FE idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten), and a year later, they added a couple of zeroes to the offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) before they began to play rough (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail), which wrecked my life and many others. I live in the Fourth Epoch and am trying to help get us to the Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and my life’s story is intimately involved in the issue, but I am going to try to step back a little and chronicle the Fourth Epoch’s energy events as a historian/scientist, not a participant.

One of history’s most notorious robber barons, J.P. Morgan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#morgan), funded both sides in the “war” between alternating and direct current, and when you finance both sides, you always win. Tesla had to relinquish the royalties that would have made him one of the world’s richest men in order for Westinghouse to survive the battle with Edison, and Tesla began building a tower, which would not only produce radio waves, but Tesla began talking about making FE with his tower (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#teslatower). He then had the rug pulled out from under him and never again regained his footing. He remains an enigmatic figure to this day. The organized suppression of FE likely began around that time, and it has been refined into a science today (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), as I learned firsthand.

The same year that Tesla’s star fell, the big applications of oil were just beginning. The Wright brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) first flew that year, and Henry Ford founded the first company that mass-produced automobiles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ford). A couple of years later, an obscure clerk at the Swiss patent office published several papers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#emc2) that shook the foundations of physics, and relativity was born. One of Einstein’s papers that year began laying the foundation for quantum physics, and the most famous formula in history was developed: E = MC2. The equation states that everything in our universe is energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energy1). This year marks the 100th anniversary of his general theory of relativity, and relativity and quantum physics form the twin pillars of today’s physics. However, both will be in for major overhauls, if not outright obsolescence, the day that those technologies that are carefully sequestered (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) come into public awareness and use. Today’s physics texts will turn into doorstops.

I’ll cover from Einstein until today in coming posts.

Hi:

Europe’s conquest of the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), and industrialization in the midst of it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#uk), set in motion two unprecedented events. One was the greatest series of demographic catastrophes in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2), and the other was the Industrial Revolution’s demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), which is the greatest boon that humanity has yet experienced. Life was no longer nasty, brutish, and short, and women and slaves were liberated as a consequence of those dynamics.

When Einstein published his first papers in 1905 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#emc2), the world had yet to acknowledge that the Wright brothers had flown (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright), my grandfather, who lived in a sod hut (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas) for part of his childhood, had not yet been born, and women could not vote (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage#United_States) in the USA. But my grandfather lived to see his son help put a man on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary) and his grandson chase after FE (I lived with him when I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2)). The 20th century was the most eventful century in world history, by far, with a pace of change that would have been mind-boggling to peoples of earlier times. My grandfather went to his grave without shaking some of the prejudices that he grew up with, such as the idea that unmarried couples “lived in sin,” and other ideas that are considered quaint, even primitive, in today’s USA.

Of course, the 20th century’s biggest events were energy events. In 1911, the British Navy converted from coal to oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#britishnavy), and the Middle East’s fate was sealed. At the end of World War I, the UK and France carved up the Ottoman Empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iraq1) into controllable oil states. Both World Wars were about imperial plunder rights, and oil figured prominently, even critically (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#worldwaroil). Everything that the world’s powers have done in the Middle East during the past century has been all about the oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate). Nothing else really matters, and jockeying for oil control has brought the world to the brink of World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII).

The greatest war in history (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#good) ended with Einstein’s worst nightmare: his theoretical work was influential in creating history’s most evil weapons, which were used to vaporize two cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nukes1). Einstein considered his encouragement of the USA’s president, to develop nuclear weapons before the Nazis did, to have been his life’s greatest mistake (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#einstein).

Immediately after dropping those bombs on defenseless civilians, the USA tried to beat those nuclear swords into ploughshares, and enlisted death camp Nazis in the effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#strughold). The public quickly realized the potential of that new energy source (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#reactions), although its peril has been more than its promise, with nuclear catastrophes that have made various regions permanently uninhabitable, and the most recent event is ongoing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nukes).

That greatest war ended with my great nation having virtually unchallenged hegemony (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sitting), and the internal record shows that the USA planned to keep it, and keep humanity in bondage (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kennan). It was acting no differently from any other empire, but just had unprecedented opportunities. It played the freedom, prosperity, and human rights cards early and often, but nobody should take those notions seriously (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#record). All empires had high-flying rhetoric.

Nevertheless, the generation after World War II’s end was the most prosperous era in world history, at least for the winners (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) (based on the greatest energy usage in history (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave)), and the USA helped rebuild its adversaries in World War II, largely to keep them out of the orbit of the USA’s erstwhile ally, the Soviet Union. I was born in that golden age, and the greatest energetic and technological feat (at least publicly) of that era was landing men on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), launched by monstrous rockets. While the USA was racing to the Moon against the Soviet Union (both programs were built on the efforts of Nazi scientists (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#nazi)), it was waging another imperial war, killing several million people in Southeast Asia (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1) (which cut into the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#vietnam)). The year after landing on the Moon, the USA began to run out of oil (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), and a few years later an energy crisis ended that golden age. The USA’s standard of living has declined ever since (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), as history’s largest and richest middle class began shrinking, and in the 21st century, it is under siege (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racetobottom).

The world reached Peak Oil in 2006 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil). All the easy oil is gone, and humanity is experiencing a typical resource depletion dynamic. In agrarian civilizations, it meant that food and wood became scarce as a prelude to collapse (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses), and what is happening today is merely the industrialized version, as humanity mines the dregs of Earth’s hydrocarbon deposits (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dregs), amidst various environmental calamities, such as awesome damage from “normal” operations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tarsands), prodigious oil spills (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nukes), and Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming). But the smart money thinks that fighting World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) over the dwindling oil supplies will trump any environmental calamity related to humanity’s energy practices, in a kind of “choose your poison (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth)” future.

That is where we are today. I left out some energy events from this narrative so far, but will cover them in the next post. The solution to all of our energy problems (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) already exists in the planet, but the ultra-elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) have been keeping the lid on it for longer than I have been alive. But I will save that for tomorrow.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Before I get to my last energy event post, I want to revisit my days with Dennis a little. When I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), there was none of that Christian/Patriot talk in his public speeches (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoopee), and his business approach was stacking up contracts and finding financing for them. With the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), that was a viable approach.

When I became Dennis’s partner, it became populism, business opportunities, and chasing after FE. I really did not like that direction, and it is partly why I am not with him anymore. My background was business, not populism. Dennis has really never given up the populism route since, and that is definitely not my approach. Brian O tried the populism approach with NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), too, and that was another catastrophe. With Dennis’s migrant farmworker background (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and Brian’s Capitol Hill background (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), I see why they went that way, but it never came close to really working.

After years of carrying their spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), I was done with that approach and am trying something different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). The masses don’t have the right stuff and never have, and Dennis eventually admitted to me what a losing proposition it was, as almost nobody really cared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings). The masses are only going to begin to wake up when FE is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It is just what it is, and it does no good to judge the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) or the sleeping masses (or their shepherds), whose horizon of awareness does not extend past their immediate self-interest. Asking them to help make FE happen is like expecting a dog to talk. They just don’t have it in them, especially to initiate Epochal change (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), as anybody who has tried the populist approach knows.

When Carter’s tax credit (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#conserve) expired in 1985 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier), Dennis’s program of putting his system on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) was no longer viable, at least in that form, and he never tried it again. Of course, with what happened in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle), he could be forgiven for not going that route again, and he was also mesmerized by FE, understandably. We eventually discovered that FE is already here (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), somewhat ironically.

But to this day, there is a vast, untapped market for Dennis’s heat pump, and that is for commercial hot water applications. Those were always the showcase installations of the heat pump, and the ones that Dennis promoted the most in his pitches, such as that restaurant (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm). The reason for what was that the ideal application of Dennis’s heat pump was an installation that had a 24/7 need for heat. For those kinds of installations, the payback was around a year, and as the heat pump is as reliable as a refrigerator, as a refrigerator (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#refrigerator) is a heat pump, the system would payback 20-30 times the initial investment over its service life (and those systems could probably last 50 years or more, with periodic maintenance). There are not many capital investments like that to be had in businesses.

That market cannot be chased after with populist methods, partly because businesses and homeowners are two very different markets, and those economy-of-scale issues (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#panel) rear their head early on. With Dennis run out of the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872), that market still sits there. But the energy industry is run by gangsters, and that is the main reason why there is no alternative energy of significance, even putting aside Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) for the moment. All the big industries are rackets. That is just how capitalism works (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism).

On to my last energy event post.

Hi:

On my energy event timeline (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), I skimmed over several events and saved them for last. That is partly because my circle or I participated in the events, or we know of them via avenues not available to the historian, scholar, or scientist. You have to be an activist to find out about those other events, and they almost never leave any kind of documentary trail that a historian or scholar can peruse, or a technology that a scientist can play with. Those who participated often risked their lives to do so.

The first event for this post is not some secret or rumor, which was the establishment of the USA’s national security state in 1947 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles). If you ask somebody like Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky), he will discuss the outright imperial aspect (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kennan) of the post-war years (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#sitting), the Orwellian (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell) renaming of the Department of War to the Department of Defense, and so on. It is no secret that the CIA and NSA were established back then, and it is no longer a secret that the CIA was built on the work of death camp Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen). Allen Dulles loved the Nazis (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dulles) and rehabilitated Hitler’s biggest cheerleaders and put them right back into the positions that they had while supporting Hitler.

Dulles was fired by Jack Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Dulles is a prime suspect in JFK’s murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dulles), and he led the “investigation” into JFK’s death. Situations like those can quickly wake up anybody who looks into them for long regarding our system’s legitimacy. The CIA was founded and run by Wall Street lawyers and has half-jokingly been called the standing army of the Fortune 500. There is really no disputing any of that, and pals such as Ralph McGehee discovered the hard way (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon) what the CIA is all about. It took a two-year epic legal battle (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#secrecy) for Ralph to publish his memoirs, which is largely why there are only a handful of published memoirs critical of the CIA. The CIA is rotten to the core and has been from the very beginning. It is a wholly evil institution, and that is just from visible activities that people such as Ralph participated in. Ralph was a civil servant with a GS rating (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Schedule_%28US_civil_service_pay_scale%29) and a pension. As evil as what Ralph encountered was, it pales next to what the CIA’s “off-the-shelf” assets and contract agents do.

There is little reasonable doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald was an intelligence asset, even leaving aside what my policeman friend heard three weeks after JFK was murdered (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower). JFK was killed by the intelligence community and his murder was covered up at the highest levels of government, with the cover-up overseen by the USA’s chief spook. It is difficult to rationally dispute that conclusion, although the implications often make Americans go unconscious, especially scholars and academics, as it crumbles their worldviews. The sitting American president is little more than a puppet (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#presidents), and he knows it.

A close relative was a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), working for a household-name diplomat, and he nearly tried to recruit me into the family “business.” I doubt that he ever fully grasped the evil that he was part of. The CIA likes it that way. Economic hit man John Perkins was jealous of the naïveté of the people that worked for him (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#jealous), with no idea of the evil interests they served. The spooks use psychopaths when they need to (numerous ones were sicced on us over the years – 1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas) – and those were educational experiences for those who survived them; not everybody did (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death)), but chumps like Ralph and my relative are the preferred cannon fodder. When and if they finally figure it out, they are trapped, and Langley is full of zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell), counting their days to retirement, drinking themselves into a stupor every night. My relative essentially drank himself to death. Only overgrown Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) like Ralph dared to speak up. Outside of Area 51 is a mountain of booze bottles, as told to me by a government official who was there.

Those kinds of activities are only the tip of the iceberg for how the world really works. Godzilla plays at a far higher level of the game than politicians and corporate executives, and even the military and spooks. The high levels are in private realms, not governmental ones. The retail political system is meaningless, and as long as the social managers keep people focused where the media wants them to (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), as long as the masses think that there are any important solutions in the retail political-economic system, as long as FE and what can come with it (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#thinkable) is unimaginable, the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) have the game well in hand. When people like Dennis try to stir up the masses, they get trampled in the stampedes orchestrated by Godzilla’s minions. You can’t outmaneuver the master shepherd with his own tools (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mass).

Veterans of the milieu know that it was no coincidence that the national security state was erected only a few months after the Roswell Incident. I know far more about the UFO/ET milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2) than I ever thought that I would or would care to, and yes, it is related to the FE issue. The UFO/ET and FE cover-ups are related, and I am virtually certain that a lot of what my friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) was from reverse-engineering “captured” ET craft. That friend does not even believe in ETs, but several years after he told me about his little show, I heard Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) describing the same technologies. In my circle, it was no great surprise when Greer’s team suddenly began dying of cancer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak) after those Congressional hearings, as the spooks can play rough when they need to. Brian discovered that the hard way, in an incident that shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-intoductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). Brian’s harrowing experiences made him into a prominent supporter of Greer’s work, and Greer was a speaker at our NEM conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), where I learned just how big Godzilla’s quiet money has been (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#payoff), and it was no big surprise.

That does not mean that there is not a mountain of disinformation on the subjects in circulation, spun by various parties for various agendas, and the credulous New Age/conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) crowd uncritically laps it up. My email inbox fills up with that kind of disinformation, from people without any discernment, titillated by the latest sensational “revelation.” The FE milieu is a three-ring-circus, with inventors with dreams of fame and riches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent), announcing that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), with their cheerleaders and groupies lining up, and the rest of the tawdry spectacle that is reminiscent of the worst of the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) scene. I stopped having anything to do with those milieus long ago. The answers aren’t there.

Getting at the truth of those matters can be a minefield, and my approach for many years was that if it did not happen to me or one of my close fellow travelers (and my circle (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) is not that large), or there is not some solid documentation on it, I am not going to spend much time, if any, winnowing through the chaff, looking for grains of wheat. It can be a hall of mirrors, full of deception and delusion, and if you get to the bottom of a lot of it, it is of trivial importance, anyway. Next to the energy issue, nothing else truly matters.

With that preamble, the stories of electrogravitic research going black in the 1950s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#electrogravity) align with the UFO/ET cover-up, and my friend was shown antigravity, among the many mind-boggling technologies demonstrated. During the show, as my friend’s eyes were bugging out of his head, he told the demonstrators that they did not play in his galaxy. I have no serious doubt that the background of that demonstration was very much like what Greer’s more credible Disclosure Project witnesses described. Electrogravity needs FE to really operate well, so FE is still the critical technology, not electro- (AKA “anti-”) gravity. Also, as amazing as what my friend was shown, it was likely only a small sample of what is in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard, and the people putting on that show almost certainly risked their lives to do so, which is one reason why I purposely do not know all that much about the event.

Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) somewhat independently developed an FE prototype, and he mailed off working prototypes to the big energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). Dennis expected one, too, when he brought the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) to a market that said that it desperately needed that kind of conservation. Of course, the opposite happened to Sparky and Dennis, as they were rudely disabused of their naïveté. The system is evil to its core, and that is nothing new. It is also global in scope (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc). There is no place to run and hide, the GCs cannot be snuck past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), and the other naïve ideas that FE newcomers nearly invariably propose. Almost every strategy that you can think of (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) has been tried, many times. The old ways will not work for this, and I am trying something different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), which Brian (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852) and Dennis immediately recognized was something new. It could be called the comprehensivist’s approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) to FE and a healed planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and is something that Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) may well have tried if he was still alive. If not me, then another. I strongly believe that this approach can work, if enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) can be found and trained. It is worth at least one man’s life to try it out.

This ends my energy event posts for now. Do we experience the biggest one ever (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), or do we slide back to the bottom of the hill (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) as arthropods rise to dominance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arthropod1) again? With each passing day, especially with humanity on the brink of World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), fighting over Earth’s last easy hydrocarbons, there is less and less of a “muddle through” middle ground that we can stumble through. What is coming will be the acid test of humanity’s integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) and sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), and the surreal part of all of this is that it only requires a tiny fraction of humanity to achieve it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). Then the rest of humanity can climb aboard and a new Epoch of the human journey will be upon us. All Epochal Events of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) were initiated by a relative or literal handful of people, and I don’t expect that it will be different this time.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I was in the midst of chores a few minutes before sitting down to write this, and thought about what I could write about next. I have recently written vignettes on my journey with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach) and what I learned from it, I have written about what the people I seek will likely have in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307), what an energy surplus is and why it is important (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287), and most recently I wrote on the energy events of the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey), including the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey?p=328&viewfull=1#post328).

In the end, my work has always been and always will be about manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That is enough to have on one man’s plate, and there can’t be anything more important on the planet happening today, unless somebody wants to say preventing World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII) or the Sixth Mass Extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1) that takes humanity with it, but that biggest event solves those problems as mere side-effects. In this instance, an ounce of prevention is worth a mountain of cure.

I am going to write two series of posts, which I have avoided getting into too deeply until now, partly because of the state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sixth1) that the FE field is in today. FE newcomers always hone in on “doing something,” and think that they can solve this riddle in a few days or weeks of effort. I don’t relish trying to disabuse them of their naïveté, and I found that it is like trying to tell an 18-year-old boy what a battlefield is like (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business). Not only does he not want to hear it, he is incapable of hearing it, and by the time he gets on the battlefield, it is too late. I don’t expect that many FE newbies are going read this thread or comprehend it, but for those that I seek, it should be educational.

The first series will be on what has not worked and why (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches). The second series will be why I think that my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) might have a chance to help, and may be the critical missing piece for a successful effort. I am going to cover each area of failure in some depth. The first post will come soon, perhaps this weekend.

As far as what has not worked and why, the basics are kind of a mirror image of what qualities I think the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) will have. The basic problems are these:


Personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn);
The vast majority of people are unable or unwilling to escape their indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and remain trapped in them, which is directly related to the first point;
The vast majority of people are scientifically illiterate and do not practice discernment.


Those human qualities, or lack of them, are why nobody has ever mounted an FE effort with a prayer, but I am going to go into detail on those many paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that I have listed.

Best,

Wade

Hi:


I am in the middle of reading David Talbot’s The Devil’s Chessboard, which spurred me to finally make some JFK assassination posts (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=20494&p=319760) on the best forum that I have seen on the subject. I’ll have more to report on Talbot’s book before long. It is obviously cutting into my energy posts, but it is an important and related subject.

Best,

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Maybe this series of posts would be better titled, “What has not worked, is not likely to, and I have no more interest in.” After those upcoming two series of posts, I think I will do an in-depth exploration of my visionary chapter on what the Fifth Epoch can look like (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

I am not sure that my series of posts will cover the issues in the same order as my essay does, but I will start it in the same place, with patenting an FE device (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent). The inventor’s orientation was my initial one on my energy journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse). I thought that inventors were heroes, but I was gradually disabused of my delusions, soon after I met Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=209&viewfull=1#post209). By the time the dust settled in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), I strongly suspected that the inventor/businessman’s approach to FE did not have a prayer, and after my second stint with Dennis in 1996-1997 (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), I was certain of it, and have had no interest in that approach ever since.

Trying to patent an FE device, particularly in the West and especially in the USA, is the height of foolishness, for several reasons. Primarily, the inventor has signaled his intention to get rich off of his invention. I never met an altruistic inventor, and certainly never an FE inventor with the goods who was altruistic. This is the primary path of FE inventors, and the forces of organized suppression have that avenue so closed off that it can be suicidal to try it. For starters, for normal inventing, the inventor almost never makes any money off of his (I am going to use the masculine, as I have only heard of one female FE inventor) invention, as he loses the rights to it along the way to market. They teach that in invention and technology classes today. If the invention has much promise, greed takes over, with all participants, including the inventor, and it can turn into a bloodbath, which Dennis called the “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” effect (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed).

With FE inventing, those dynamics are augmented by a few orders of magnitude, as everybody turns into Orcs chasing after The One Ring. It is something to behold. The first dozen times I saw people try to steal our companies (the first time was by my boss (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042), perhaps at Godzilla’s behest), I told Dennis how shocking it was to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), and he told me to join the club.

Organized suppression is real (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and there are several levels of it. It seems that most FE newcomers think that Godzilla is asleep, died in his sleep, is crippled, somehow does not exist, or is not vigilant, probably because they have not encountered him, nor has anybody else in their daily lives. That is a potentially fatal delusion, if they ever get in position to do anything of significance. Because the masses are oblivious and in the dark sure does not mean that the social managers are.

If an FE inventor applies for a patent, several dynamics are set in motion. First and foremost, the inventor has announced that he thinks that he has something viable, and he has announced his intention to profit from his invention, meaning that he is in it for the money. His self-seeking motivation is always his chief weakness in these situations.

The patent office (I am going to use the USA here, but all patent offices are similar, especially in the West) as a policy, will not issue a patent for FE devices, as they supposedly violate the “laws of physics.” I have been hearing of patenting attempts getting hung up this way since the 1980s, but it goes back much earlier than that. But the patent office can grant a patent on it, and when that happens, the military can immediately classify it. Thousands of disruptive technology patents have been classified, and energy technologies apparently most of all.

In theory, the inventor is compensated for the seizure of his technology, but in practice he gets nothing, if he is lucky. I don’t claim to know all of the variables and calculation that go into deciding when to stonewall, when to grant a patent then seize it, or siccing the agents of organized suppression onto the inventor, and they have quite a bag of tricks to drawn from (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#risk). But I know that nothing has been allowed to get close to the finish line, and by that I mean a piece of technology that is market-ready. No FE inventor has ever gotten close.

Dennis’s adventures comprise the best case study that I know of regarding how disruptive energy technology is suppressed at the market level. No FE technology ever got on the market like Dennis’s heat pump did (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and nobody ever sold them like Dennis did (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs).

The bottom line is that an FE inventor who approaches the patent office has painted a big bull’s-eye on his forehead, and no FE inventor ever made it past the gauntlet.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

The next area of FE inventors going awry is when they go the proprietary technology route (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#proprietary). An upside is that the feds cannot legally seize the technology under the national security laws, like they do with patented technology. But the downsides are many. Perhaps the biggest issue regarding all of the failed approaches is that FE is an Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) technology. Imagine somebody trying to patent fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), or the apple (although agribusiness companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#agribusiness) are trying to do exactly that), or using coal for smelting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coke). Or imagine them trying to keep the process of making fire proprietary, some secret process that only those who paid up could use. With FE, that is essentially what people playing the proprietary technology game are doing. It is foolish and even suicidal, on a few levels.

As with people patenting FE technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=337&viewfull=1#post337), I am not sure exactly what the template of intervention is (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), for who gets bought out, who gets wiped out (with a spectrum of tactics, up to and including murder (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors)), who has their technology seized, who gets more subtle sabotage, and who is just monitored. I know that all of those techniques are used, and I have a rough idea of when each one is brought to bear, but I don’t know exactly what their decision tree looks like. What I do know is that they have developed it over a century of keeping disruptive energy technologies at bay, from high MPG carburetors (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#carb1) to Dennis’s heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) to FE technology. There is also more than one playbook out there. Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) certainly has the most sophisticated one, as most who are subjected to his tactics do not even realize that they were, but lower level players have their own playbooks, although they probably improvise more.

For instance, the organized suppression in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1) was far cruder than what we experienced later, and the CIA man who made Dennis the billion dollar offer to go away (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer) was suave and sophisticated. It is possible that what happened in Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) was independent of Godzilla’s activities, confined to the local electric interests, but I highly doubt it. We heard through our well-connected attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime) that the chairman of the board of the local electric company ordered the hit on us in Ventura, but when that CIA man came through Ventura to visit Dennis, a few weeks before he was arrested, I strongly suspect that he visited others in the area, greasing palms, as they enacted plan B. A mere $10 million or so, spread around, got the job done. Yes, it was “noisier” than the quite folding of our tents that the billion dollar bribe would have done, and they pay great premiums for silence and invisibility, but when Dennis proved that he was not going away quietly, then it was time for the next steps. That Dennis survived to try again was a failure for the people behind the hit, even though they wrecked many lives when they brought the sledgehammer down on us. In a way, they succeeded, even though they did not achieve their ultimate goal.

A great example of the problems of going the proprietary technology route, for those with the goods, is Sparky Sweet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet). One reason for going the proprietary technology route, for the savvier inventors, is that they know that corporate America has made a science of defeating patent protection (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#inventor). For the lone wolf inventor, patents are a fool’s dream of protection. In practice, patents are only good for huge corporations, who can enforce the monopoly protection that patents afford. The lone inventor does not have a prayer when a big corporation decides to steal his patented invention. Detroit made a science out of that approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#inventor) before I was born.

Keeping an invention proprietary is one way to try to prevent it from being seized by the feds and stolen by the corporations. Sparky died 20 years ago, soon after fleeing into hiding (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sparky) after the final death threat was delivered to him. I am a little irked that the famous video of his device generating a million times the energy going into it has to be purchased, and is not hosted at YouTube or someplace similar. I have a couple of copies of the footage at home, and if you ever watch that video, several times during the demonstration you will see words like “proprietary technology” flash across the screen. When I saw that, I just shook my head.

Sparky was a career scientist at General Electric, inventing his FE gizmo in his retirement. He heavily drank the nationalist and capitalist Kool-Aid (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and mailed off working prototypes of his gizmo to the big energy institutions, expecting the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2). Of course, the opposite happened, as Godzilla began reaching into his bag of tricks. After Sparky’s home had been burglarized and his technical notes stolen, he began writing them in cipher. His method of conditioning the magnets, to achieve the effect of tapping the zero-point field (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf), was kept secret in his notes. Sparky took his secrets to the grave with him, effectively doing Godzilla’s work for him. That is a downside of playing the proprietary technology game. Many have tapped the zero-point field (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1), but they don’t get to tap it for long.

Also, charlatans in the FE milieu play the proprietary technology game, which brings to mind the proprietary medicine craze in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#proprietary) in the late 19th century. Almost all of it was snake oil. Even Dennis has wanted to play the proprietary technology game early on, playing the showman doing rope tricks, and that was one reason why I began to grow away from his approach. Dennis has too much showman (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum) in him. Mesmerizing the masses with rope tricks is the furthest thing from my current approach.

Another folly of FE inventors playing the proprietary technology game is similar to people thinking that they can anonymously interact with me, and Godzilla will never know who they are. Whom do they think they are hiding from? There is no way to sneak under Godzilla’s radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), and it is one of the most foolish approaches that I have seen, but I will cover that later.

Nothing that an FE inventor can stumble into in his garage or shop is going to be something new and unusual to Godzilla. FE technology was developed to a commercial level (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), along with antigravity (and electrogravity), generations ago. The only people in the dark when the inventor plays the proprietary technology game are the public.

Godzilla is the master of cloak-and-dagger games, secrecy and deception, and so on. Trying to play that game, regarding disruptive technology such as FE and antigravity, is the height of foolishness and even suicidal. What I also found, with people playing those games, is that they usually became paranoid, and if they ever received any genuine organized suppression, paranoia sent them over the edge and they defeated themselves. Other ego games of “specialness” come with those approaches. Many delusions of grandeur (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) attend the biggest event in the human journey, which is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion). The mentality that plays the proprietary technology game is very vulnerable to those kinds of pitfalls, and many beckon (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#pitfalls).

Playing the secrecy game is antithetical to making FE happen, on several levels, not the least of which is that it is not aligned with the kind of world that FE can usher into being (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Nothing other than FE can really do it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), either.

As we will see, as I cover the failed approaches, they all have scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) in common. We can’t pour the new wine into the old skins. IMO, only an approach aligned with the Epoch that FE can manifest is going to work, which is also aligned with the pronouncement (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist) of one of my earliest mystical mentors, who said that the means become the ends. Only a loving approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), which takes place in the light of day, stands a chance. Although I came into the FE milieu with that belief, it was also one of the most valuable lessons of my journey. I saw how the means became the ends. People without much personal integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) never went very far, were usually instrumental in wrecking any effort that they were part of, and were putty in the hands of the psychopaths that the forces of organized suppression sicced on us (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)).

The proprietary technology approach is one of the many dead ends in the FE pursuit, and is one of many symptoms of the arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) that the FE field has suffered from for more than a century.

Hi:

As I sketch each of the paths of failure, I am also surveying the experiences that my fellow travelers and I had. By the end of this series of posts, most of the reasons for my approach may become obvious to some readers.

The next paths of failure are money-related (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#money). In the West, especially the USA, there are only a few ways that an effort can be mounted for bringing alternative energy to the public. The effort can be organized as a business, a charity or similar non-profit, or a government effort. They have all been tried for FE, many times, especially the business route. For the business route, money is going to exchange hands, with the investors, creditors, and customers. Other than Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2), nobody has really brought disruptive energy technology to market of any significance, anywhere on Earth, ever.

If we revisit inventors (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=337&viewfull=1#post337), when an inventor gets outside investors (the early stages are usually the inventor working in his garage, mortgaging his house, maxing out his credit cards, borrowing from his friends and family, etc.), the dynamic suddenly changes. I never met an altruistic inventor, who invented to help the world. They were all doing it to make money, first and foremost. Investors are the same. With investors, they don’t put the money in as a loan, but get equity, which means that they have a say in how the business is run. I recently wrote (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3788-New-General-Thread&p=19045&viewfull=1#post19045) that 75% of efforts funded by venture capitalists fail. The fatality rate for small businesses is something like 90% in the first five years. Starting any business is a crapshoot, and developing disruptive technologies is far riskier, even leaving aside the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), which is very real, especially for disruptive energy technologies.

When investors come to the inventor’s effort, they acquire an equity interest with their money, and the basic asset that they are investing in is the market potential of the technology being developed. That means that the inventor has to begin ceding the rights to his technology to the investors. In inventing classes today, they teach that an inventor almost never profits from his invention, as he loses the rights to it on the way to market. Those dynamics ascend a few orders of magnitude for history’s most lucrative technology (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion).

Without initial capital, it is extremely hard to start a business. Dennis and his wife were masters of that. Dennis started many times with nothing, and soon built booming businesses. That is one of his many great talents. The problem was that they were so booming that his business associates were quickly overcome by greed and tried to steal the business (I witnessed this many times (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked)), and were successful quite often, especially during Dennis’s early days (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis) in the USA’s capitalistic shark tank. Dennis never had investors like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) and Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), who just handed him the money and told him to go make it happen. We saved his life before it was over (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), and ruined ours in the process.

So, on the capital end, it is very challenging. There have actually been FE efforts to raise capital in stock markets (John Bedini did that once, as I recall), and then the governmental regulatory apparatus gets involved. Just getting to the IPO stage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering) is very difficult, for normal businesses. I have helped companies do that, and big ones, who were well-established and with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue each year. It is not easy. For start-ups to go that route is almost impossible. For FE companies to do that is off the scale, in its difficulty, even putting aside the organized suppression.

What Dennis usually did in starting his companies from scratch was borrow from his suppliers, to get credit and then stretch out the payments. I have had creditors storm into my office, as the company controller, more than once, demanding their money. It is not easy being on that hot seat, let me tell you.

Another way to get that money is to sell something to your customers. Again, you need capital of some kind to develop something for the market. This is part of the conundrum, especially for new technologies. Generally, only big corporations and federal entities have pockets deep enough to fund R&D projects for new technologies. The military developed the Internet before commercial interests got involved, in the classic dynamic of socialization of losses and privatization of profit. It is a big reason why the rich get richer.

Dennis had a publicly-held company in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#finance), and the people who sold him the shell company to go public stole his company from him, and my boss engineered the theft (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042). The financier of Dennis’s Seattle company had the company that he spent a lifetime building stolen from him, as a way to steal Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#financier). Godzilla may well have been involved, as the thieves were Mormons (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon).

Dennis’s program for selling his heat pump was as brilliant as I ever saw in the business world. He took advantage of a government subsidy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#conserve) to put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on customers’ homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs), and they only paid what the heat pump was proven to save in energy bills. It was an unstoppable program, at least honestly. That was what got Mr. Financier so excited (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#finance). Dennis also had the chairman of the board of a household-name financial company ready to commit a billion dollars (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#billion) to carpet the USA with those heat pumps and Dennis’s marketing program, when Dennis’s business associates stole his company and blew the deal apart. Without exception, the thieves never understood the genius of his marketing program and tried to sell the equipment for cash, and all promptly failed.

What happened in Seattle in 1984-1985 is the greatest run ever made to bring alternative energy to the marketplace, as far as I know. Dennis originally thought that the electric companies would give him a tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape1) for bringing his equipment to the market, achieving the energy savings that they said that they wanted. Instead, the electric companies pulled all the stops and called in all of their favors to wipe out Dennis’s company. Everybody got involved, from the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news) to the Attorney General (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#betsy) to the bankruptcy courts (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#bk) and more (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#sabotage1). Dennis’s first radicalizing moment on his energy journey was when a hit man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm) for the federal agency that ran the Pacific Northwest’s electric industry was responsible for the death of one of Dennis’s employees (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death). That hit man is active today, as a hit man for the medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#biomed). He was one of a number of psychopaths (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)) sicced on Dennis’s businesses over the years.

How can you honestly attack a company that put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free? You can’t. But, as we discovered, they can just make it up as they go (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam). In Seattle and Ventura, the government attacks were “consumer protection” actions, although our customers never complained. When Dennis resurrected his business after getting out of prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page3?p=243&viewfull=1#post243), his wife had everybody involved sign away their “consumer protection” rights, so that angle could not be used.

So, you go to investors and get your company stolen from you (while everybody cheers (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1)), you get phony bankruptcy suits filed by pseudo-creditors (with the bankruptcy courts in on the sham (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#bk)), and when you put the world’s best heating system on people’s homes for free, and nobody is complaining, the full might of the system is brought to bear on you, with everybody lying, etc. How do you survive that? That Dennis kept trying is incredible. Almost nobody can survive even one of those wipeouts, and Dennis has survived more than a dozen instances of being wiped out, from his business associates to local (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), state (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#ag), and even federal (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc) actions, and Godzilla got directly involved (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer), too. Protecting the consumer may be the greatest racket on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#davis).

Dennis’s experiences should be the case study that all FE newbies are required to digest, but instead, almost everybody in the field lies about Dennis, with easily proven libels (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=200&viewfull=1#post200) that get uncritically repeated (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), like so much gossip. In summary, any attempt to get money from investors, creditors, or customers is easily thwarted, and going to prison on trumped up charges (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#violate) is one of the risks, if the aspirant is not murdered (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors).

With all of those avenues either closed off or fraught with peril, what can you do? Another angle has been to do it as a charity, where people just give away money for the common good. Good luck finding those people. When I helped Brian found the New Energy Movement in 2003 (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), all of the money that came in the first year was mine. I gave about $17,000 to NEM, and I did not even want to be there. After I quit (because I did not see that the effort had a prayer, as I did not really see anybody with the right stuff, other than a few), the board kicked Brian out of the organization that he founded, and that was not the first time that it happened to Brian. He only came back into my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro) years later.

Soon after I became Dennis’s partner, I met my first billionaire (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=950489&viewfull=1#post950489), who came by our office, sniffing for opportunities (around the same time as Godzilla’s first buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten)). Dennis was swarmed by billionaires when he was flying high, a number of whom were self-professed “philanthropists.” Philanthropy is one of the world’s greatest rackets. There are no “rich philanthropists” active on Earth today. I have seen people chasing after rich philanthropists since the 1980s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich). I never heard of anybody landing one. There have been times when rich people got involved, and they were quickly dissuaded, receiving death threats if necessary (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill). They then went scurrying back to their mansions. It is another closed avenue, carefully monitored by Godzilla’s minions.

For many years, I watched Dennis vacillate between the “Joe Average” and “Fat Cat” methods of funding his efforts. The Fat Cats never came through, only Joe Average did, and the Fat Cats usually tried to steal the effort, just like everybody else. The Fat Cats never get involved out of the goodness of their hearts. Eventually, I heard jokes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humanitarians) about the “humanitarians,” and I knew that the jokers had been around the block a few times. It is just another avenue that has been tried countless times, not only for FE, but for anything that might help right humanity’s ship.

This situation is a big reason why I have designed my effort like I have. I don’t need any money to train people to think comprehensively (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). I sacrificed my life to write my site, passing up millions of dollars in lost income, after my life-risking and life-wrecking adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), but the curriculum has been written. I have also built the classroom (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php). I am just waiting for pupils and allies to step up and begin to sing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

Best,

Hi:

Briefly, before I begin a day of chores, and maybe some hiking if I am lucky, I recently reviewed another “visionary” effort that a scientist pal is involved in, and in their 20-plus-point outline, energy was down somewhere around eighth place, and was pretty much confined to solar energy. Sigh. That is what “visionaries” come up with these days. This stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) blows their minds, which is why almost no “visionaries” will touch it with a ten-foot-pole.

That scientist helped edit my big essay, especially the last several chapters, beginning here (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), largely to help organize them. They were not originally organized into those chapters (the “adventures” chapter was not originally standalone like it is today). When I commented on that weak treatment of the energy issue, we repeated a discussion that we have had before, in that so few people really understand not only the role of energy in the world today, but what FE’s potential is. It really is amazing to realize how few people really have the foggiest idea how our world works, as they stumble through their lives, living in their niches of hell, unwilling to budge.

In that recent exchange, I repeated an observation that I have made before (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313): only the scientifically literate really have much understanding of the role that energy plays in our world. I doubt that they have to be professionally trained scientists, but I could be wrong. My big essay was written with the lay audience in mind, but nobody from the lay public has yet stepped up and begun to discuss my big essay, and the only people I am aware of who are studying it have had scientific training or are professional scientists. I hope that that situation changes one day. My strategy can still work if the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is all scientists, but that was not my intention.

Best,

Wade

:waving: Makes me think of a TV-show that's running at the moment "Allt för Sverige" "Everything for Sweden" where Americans get help searching for their Swedish roots by competing and the winner will meet the relatives that the producers have found. Gives an idealized picture of today's Sweden for sure but it's interesting how emotional Americans are towards their heritage in stark contrast to Swedes i think.

I also have relatives in the US...don't know much about them except for a cousin who broke with the family and now lives in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island...will ask my dad for Christmas.

Hi:

On a personal note, my father called me a “Swede,” almost as a pejorative (along with squarehead), since I was an infant. My mother would take me in a stroller, along the docks in Ballard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballard,_Seattle), and the Swedish fishermen would gather around the “little Svede.” I looked the part (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm). I was called a “squarehead (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squarehead)” while growing up, but in Southern California, there were not all that many Scandinavians, so I really did not know quite what it meant.

I was far from sure that I looked like a Scandinavian until I went to EPCOT Center (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epcot) in the late 1990s, and it had a Norway pavilion. It was only then that I understood, as all the men who worked there looked like my cousins.

" My big essay was written with the lay audience in mind"
I'm the lay audience Wade! Currently caught up in the scientific study of Human males.My ancestors took all the easy meat and low hanging fruit.Most of my days require a significant amount of masculine energy to make heat and acquire foods to keep up healthy functions.All of this is compounded by my adult kids embarking on a similar journey,dangit...More recent is the discovery most of the older males around me now have nothing more to offer than taking advantage of the last days of my youth for their own energy surplus.

We could probably have some really good conversations together Wade but it's finally raining.You would have to take up a shovel and help me clear the ditches leading to my home.The recent 80 thousand acre fire removed all the ground cover around and the mud now flows.No complaints here.At least we don't have to throw rocks at tanks and helicopters to accomplish our daily needs,yet.
I'm with you on the fact that things have never been better for a guy like me living in the land of the "free".
The idea of FE means a great deal to me.I'm a human mule ,tired knees,back .I'd love to spend my days exploring my artistic side as I did as a kid before energy was in my conscious awareness.Alas nature has run it's course.Signed up for offspring and co-creation,taxes and so on.

You might put me in the engineering arena over scientist for now.I have a lot to learn. Looking forward to the days we lay humans muster the energy to imagine what FE can bring.:happy dog:

Hi transiten:

Yes, diaspora usually have an emotional connection to their homeland, and the cultural level that their ancestors left with is usually frozen, in a kind of nostalgic time capsule. I’ll relate some anecdotes that I have not told here before, and it is kind of funny.

I am half-Scandinavian, and most of the rest of my genetics is Northern European, except for about 10% American Indian, which is common among Americans whose ancestors came here centuries ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#familyname). Of that Scandinavian side, only a quarter is Swedish and the rest is Norwegian. I am apparently descended from some Norwegian king’s illegitimate son, which I doubt is very unusual. :)

My mother’s side kept that Scandinavian heritage very alive, in diaspora style. My grandmother was born and raised in Bellingham (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham,_Washington), another fishing port, like Ballard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballard,_Seattle), and she ran her Lutheran church for 50 years. I attended a cousin’s wedding there in this century, and in the basement were photos of the catechism classes. I saw pictures of my grandmother in her class as a teenager, back around 1920, and many relatives since then. My family there is very clannish, and my aunt built her home 100 feet from her mother’s, where she was born, and she never lived more than three miles from her birth home.

While I grew up in Southern California, we came up for Christmas a few times, and they had huge feasts, centered around lutefisk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk) and lefse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefse). I think that I took one bite of lutefisk when I was six or so, nearly threw up, and have not had any since. Potatoes, melted butter, and lefse I was onboard with, but the lutefisk was horrid stuff. Not sure what it has to do with me being a vegetarian (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm), but it is a great excuse to not eat lutefisk! :) My mother once made klub (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/76713/norwegian-potato-klub/) when I was a child, and I could not eat it. It was the only potato dish that I ever was unable to eat.

My father’s side came across the continent in the wake of the U.S. Army as the Indians were dispossessed and ended up in Kansas (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas), where my father’s father was born. My mother’s side took the Scandinavian migration route, which generally went straight from Scandinavia to Minnesota and the northern plains. My mother’s father was born in Minnesota, in the 1890s as a first generation American. After being crippled in World War I (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#influenza), he ended up in Bellingham, and in that clannish Scandinavian style, he was a distant cousin of his wife, my grandmother.

My Professor’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) ancestral migrations were similar. He and his wife were full Norwegians, and their ancestors became North Dakota farmers. I got to hear the Swedish jokes that Norwegians told, in the kind ethic rivalry to be found anywhere. I attended his funeral (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) and was charmed by the people. Some of them had Norwegian as their mother tongue. While there, I talked about my heritage (other than my mother’s family, I had never been immersed in such a Scandinavian setting), and heard a funny story. Mr. Professor’s widow visited relatives in Norway, and they came to visit her. On my list of things to do is taking her to Norway one last time. Not sure if I will accomplish it, but it is on my list.

One Christmas season, some Norwegian relatives came to visit. While they were there, she excitedly told them of the coming feast, where they would have lutefisk and lefse! Her relatives looked at her in horror and said, “Lutefisk! That is what poor people eat. Is there going to be any turkey there?” :)

Hi Krist:

You are one of my guinea pigs! :) You are trying, and I appreciate it. The day that you begin discussing this chapter with me (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#colonize1), for instance, will be a great victory for me. I know that my work is not that hard to understand. The most important quality is wanting to understand, which is a very close cousin to that most important chorister trait (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308).

That is a keen understanding that the older generation is going to take advantage of you while they can. :) My relatives did the same for me, and more than a decade ago, two separate stints of digging holes and splitting wood left me without the use of my right arm for a month, and I decided that I was done sacrificing my body for my family. They all took as much advantage of me as they could, in many ways, as helpful and able as I was. They used me, but part of me is OK with that. I understand their desperation that leads them to such acts, and forgive them, but the well is dry for them, now, and they then disowned me, without even a word of thanks. Those were sobering lessons.

I am familiar with the Southern California drought and flood scene, after wildfires denude the hills, which come roaring down in the floods. In my circle are people who were killed by such events, such as this one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_La_Conchita_landslide). I helped dig out friends whose homes were isolated by landslides during the floods. Happy digging! :)

Hi:

As I warned, this series of posts may not align with the order of the list in my big essay, and I am going to skip to the guerilla revolution approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla). It is related to the one I am skipping over, sneaking past the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sneaking). Both are adolescent fantasies that do not appreciate the magnitude of the technical task and do not understand the interests who have kept the lid on FE and related technologies.

Over the past century, many inventors have demonstrated FE prototypes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate). Most are “proof of concept” prototypes, where the effect is demonstrated. Many have tapped the zero-point field (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf), while others have likely tapped the electric potential between Earth’s surface and its atmosphere, as Tesla was trying to do with his tower (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#teslatower). If the zero-point field is remotely as large as Bohm thought (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bohm), it will for all practical purposes be an inexhaustible energy source, and humanity will become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). While Sparky Sweet’s demonstration (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=338&viewfull=1#post338) was one of the most impressive, it was still a long way from powering people’s homes, in mass production. Brian O’Leary estimated that it would take about $200 million to take a working FE prototype to the commercial production stage. I’ll agree with that. You can’t do that in garages. I have worked in factories and have some understanding of industrial production and R&D. There has never been any technology in world history developed guerilla-style. It won’t work, especially for making FE happen, for a few reasons. The most important of which is what I mentioned early in this series (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336) of posts: personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). Most who get very involved in the FE issue become like Orcs lusting after The One Ring. FE is beyond the dreams of avarice (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#quadrillion), and not many can stand in the presence of the idea for long and maintain their sanity.

Sparky was able to build his prototype in his home, but it was just a prototype. Technology development can’t happen in garages. Think of an Intel chip facility, and you get the idea of the kind of facility that will be needed to develop FE to commercial quality. A cousin to these delusions is that if a blueprint for a viable FE device was ever published, that an army of guerilla tinkers would take it the rest of the way in their garages. That army does not exist, not only regarding their technical capacity, but their willingness to work “underground,” somewhat in concert, to overwhelm the organized suppression in some kind of stampede. And if the blueprint to an Intel chip was released, how many people could build one in their garages?

Soon after I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202), that kind of “stampede” approach is what Dennis hoped for, with his populist ideas (which I also call Level 10 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10)). In my naïveté, I believed Dennis. Ten years later, Dennis admitted that his “herd” for the stampede did not exist, but he still tried to find people who actually cared for something beyond their immediate self-interest. He rarely found any (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings). Those thinking that there is an army of “resistance” heroes who will save the day with an underground FE movement are foolish, IMO. If I had to guess, I would say that it harkens back to romantic ideas of the resistance to the Nazis in World War II, such as in France, Poland, and Italy. That approach is not going to work, IMO, and it is not aligned with the goal, going back to Seth’s dictum of the means becoming the ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist).

I have been involved with the cloak-and-dagger approach to FE, and hated every minute of it. Whom did we really think we were hiding from or outmaneuvering? I respect how some of my fellow travelers discovered the hard way how you can’t run under Godzilla’s radar, as Mark did (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647). If you are ever in the milieu long enough, to hear guerilla movement fantasies, the “sneak past Godzilla” approach, and the like, you can tell that the “guerillas” and “sneakers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7)” are a bunch of naifs, with no idea what they are getting into. When Sparky did not get the tickertape parade (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tickertape2), he then went into secrecy mode and ended up doing Godzilla’s work for him.

I am going to skip ahead again to a related approach, which I call the Young Warrior approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conquer), thinking that they can defeat Godzilla in battle. Only extremely foolish young men, in thrall to their particular delusions (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), think that way, and once again, have no idea what they are up against. The only people who are going to be hurt by that approach are themselves and those they want to “help.” Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is not threatened by an approach like that, and gets a chuckle out of it. I have also called it Level 9 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9).

I am going to repeat myself a few times before I am finished with this series of posts, but what all of the failed approaches have in common is fear. None of the failed approaches are loving ones, at their hearts. We can’t see Godzilla as a “bad guy” and hope to succeed. That is just making a new out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1), and we don’t need any more of those. Godzilla, along with all elites, will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and he knows it. That is why he has been so active in keeping the lid on FE and related technologies.

Best,

Hi:

I have already somewhat discussed the philanthropist approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich) and what a dead-end that is (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humanitarians), and I have related some colorful anecdotes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/62-Building-the-Choir?p=81&viewfull=1#post81) on the subject. One angle that people have chased after are those with inherited wealth. They weren’t the ruthless progenitors who amassed the bloody fortunes, but some lucky heir. When I chased Dennis out to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202), one of the first things that I did was watch several hours of video that Dennis made, for an heiress who was going to be the “angel” for Dennis’s next phase. Well, that angel ended up being me, and I never saw any rich person come through for Dennis, ever. Yes, the heirs usually had a different orientation from their ruthless ancestors, but trust funders do not have the right stuff.

I recall recently reading of some rich celebrity saying that he was not going to give his children much of anything, as he knew many trust funders while growing up (he grew up in some kind of rich celebrity family, as I recall), and not one of them had their act together. Their personal lives were generally expensive disasters, and they never learned to live responsibly. They are weak people, in general, and just opening up their wallets is not going to work, anyway. Money only buys somebody’s effort. If people have to be paid to contribute, the effort will not be strong enough for the task, which is manifesting the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

They can sure talk a good game and have an impressive appearance (although the truly rich I have met dressed plainly, including the world’s richest man (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates), and one I know goes barefoot everywhere), but I never or heard of saw one of them part with a dollar. As Bill Gates famously said, you don’t get rich by cutting checks.

When I have heard of them getting involved, they tried to own everything and everybody in the effort, and wrecked the whole effort with their power and control games. It almost made me wonder if they were really working on Godzilla’s behalf, as they could not have wrecked it more if they had tried. There have been times when the rich got involved, and not as philanthropists but in business, and they were quickly dissuaded (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#windmill) from further involvement.

Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr) and I were the only two investors that Dennis ever had who did not try to control him. All the rest tried to put him under their thumbs. I saw him treated terribly in such situations. Mr. Professor and I put an end to investors who thought that they owned Dennis, and he never went that route again, as far as I know. I understand why.

The next approach that won’t work is the most understandable, IMO, as far as thinking that it would work, which is the mass movement approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mass). If the rich won’t come through, maybe the masses will. I spent several years of my life carrying Dennis’s and Brian’s spears on that approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and that experience, more than anything else, led to my current approach. I recently wrote a series of vignettes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=197&viewfull=1#post197) from the time I met Dennis, to sketch the path of my awakening. I don’t need to belabor it, but the most important lesson of my journey was that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn). I resisted that lesson every step of the way, until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms.

My big surprise was not Godzilla’s existence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), vigilance, or his evil bag of tricks (http://ahealedplanet.net/risk.htm#graphic), or how useless the rich are, how corrupt our system is, from law enforcement and courts (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) to the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) to the rackets other than energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc). None of that was all that surprising. What you could not have convinced me of when I met Dennis were the innumerable betrayals and crimes by our business associates (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), such as the employees cheering my boss’s theft of Dennis’s company (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#theft), to people eagerly signing up with Godzilla’s minions (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3), helping wipe us out (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#steal), and for me, the betrayals by friends and family were the most dismaying and painful of all, by far. By the time I heard that my mother had made a scrapbook of all the libelous articles about us and took it on tour to my friends, family, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), I was no longer even surprised or hurt. Human behavior could never surprise me again. I woke up to that the hard way, and don’t recommend that method.

When Dennis made his noble populist statement that the people were inherently good, but just needed a chance to show it, I believed him, in my Boy-Scoutly naïveté. Ten years later, Dennis admitted his folly (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), but kept trying. Dennis drank the Kool-Aid early and often (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and so did Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#early). So did Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#synopsis). So did every fellow traveler that I really respected (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). Everybody tends to project their motivation onto others, and those great men were guilty of projecting their caring hearts onto others, thinking that people were similarly motivated. What a delusion. Those men were freaks, one in thousands, millions, and even billions (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). I discovered how rare we were. It is not only one of the loneliest feelings in the world, but makes the idea of a populist movement ludicrous on its face. The masses are not going to help, and in fact are a great hindrance. Their awareness extends little further than their immediate self-interest, and they are almost effortlessly manipulated by the social managers.

When Dennis began going the populist route, it took me many years to really understand what he was doing and what it always failed. He appealed to the three dominant population management ideologies in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant): nationalism, capitalism, and organized religion. It was not until reading Fuller 15 years after being radicalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I realized what they all had in common: scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). Subscribing to those ideologies conferred material and egocentric benefits, and there were penalties for failing to. In short, they were all in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies. Humanity’s in-group ideologies are little different, in their root, from what all social animals do. Macaques engage in crude forms of human politics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), and they cannot pass the mirror test (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mirrortest), which is probably near the threshold of what we call sentience.

I eventually also found that while those population management ideologies are generally crude and childish, and all built on fairy tales of one form or another, the so-called “smart” are capture by scarcity-based ideologies of greater subtlety and sophistication (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), and those people are even more stuck (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) than the mindless masses. After playing the Paul Revere of FE for five years, and all that he received from the world’s “smartest” people was denial, fear, and dogma (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), Brian began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I sadly understood, but came to realize that those reactions really have little to do with “intelligence,” but is a matter of the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). There is that integrity issue, once again.

The people with the right stuff to help along a populist effort like Dennis’s or Brian’s are likely less than one-in-a-thousand, and maybe far less. The people that I seek are rarer, and that is why the social movement approach will not work. If somebody truly has the right stuff, they almost certainly won’t know anybody else in their lives that does. Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and it is counterproductive to judge those without the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). It is just where they are. It is just the state of our species, and what scarcity and fear does to people.

Hi:

On a personal note, my father called me a “Swede,” almost as a pejorative (along with squarehead), since I was an infant. My mother would take me in a stroller, along the docks in Ballard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballard,_Seattle), and the Swedish fishermen would gather around the “little Svede.” I looked the part (http://ahealedplanet.net/pics.htm). I was called a “squarehead (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squarehead)” while growing up, but in Southern California, there were not all that many Scandinavians, so I really did not know quite what it meant.

I was far from sure that I looked like a Scandinavian until I went to EPCOT Center (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epcot) in the late 1990s, and it had a Norway pavilion. It was only then that I understood, as all the men who worked there looked like my cousins.

Best,

Wade

But "Squaredance" is not a Scandinavian phenomenon right :dance3::focus:

Thanks transiten, for my morning laugh. :)

Hi:

I have a few more failed paths to discuss, and they are largely aspects or variations of the paths I previously discussed. Related to the mass movement approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10) is mounting a media campaign (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#media). Dennis tried the Madison Avenue approach, literally, after the Ventura experience. I attended a conference in Las Vegas and saw one of Dennis’s allies try to steal the effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal), as usual. There are several reasons why such an approach did not work and is very unlikely to.

For one thing, Dennis’s target audience was people watching late-night infomercial channels. He was trying to attract the attention of couch potatoes flipping through those obscure channels, late at night. What a worthless target audience for this task. Dennis came from a migrant farmworker background (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis) and always seemed the most comfortable around that “redneck” crowd. I have that heritage myself (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#englishinvasion), and will always have a soft spot in my heart for such people, but they are not exactly the people that such an effort needs, IMO. After my second stint with Dennis, when I nearly went to prison for my trouble (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#sting), I kept up somewhat with Dennis’s efforts, before I completely lost interest in his approach. He wrote newsletters for his dealer network in which he recommended trying to market his electricity tuning technology (which reduced electric consumption and increased motor life) to bars and bowling allies. I wondered if he was joking, but he wasn’t. Those were the “opportunities” that he exhorted his network to exploit, which spoke volumes about that crowd.

Even with a Madison Avenue approach, Dennis was not exactly aiming high, but that was what his money could buy, and he has long sought that audience for his populist approach. If we put aside Dennis’s target audience for a minute and take a step back, he was going after the media’s fringes, trying to attract the attention of late-night channel surfers. At the same time, he did hundreds of talk radio shows, as that medium was rising in those days. Two close relatives heard him on their local radio station. Dennis was pretty ubiquitous in those days, and millions of Americans heard of Dennis back then. It is probably the greatest exposure that the FE idea has had in the USA.

But Dennis was trying to use the same media system that constantly smeared him. I saw the first media smear (http://ahealedplanet.net/COP.htm#news) in Seattle, filled with lies and half-truths, a couple of weeks after I met him. It became a barrage in Ventura, and after I spent an hour reading an “investigative journalism” article (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180) on us in the LA Times, I finally realized that they could just make it up as they go, just like the courts did (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). The next year, I began my media studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) and it became pretty clear what we were up against. The media is one of the key population control tools that elites use, and the media itself is one of the cartels that control the global economy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc).

After my second stint with Dennis, I would never team up with him again, and a “skeptic” began his career and became famous for libeling Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel). He simply made up new lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#attack2006) when his old lies were exposed. He was likely on Godzilla’s payroll (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#skeptic), just doing his job, like other psychopaths that were sicced on us over the years (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)), and what was amazing once again was how easily he duped people, especially people in the FE field. He was on several national TV shows that smeared Dennis, and the last time that I know of, it was in conjunction with an attack by the federal government (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#ftc).

I had to listen to a big name in the FE field defend Mr. Skeptic’s crimes while he turned around and attacked Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm). What is wrong with that picture? It was far from the only incident like that in the FE milieu (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), which is why I no longer want to have anything to do with it.

In summary, the media is one of Godzilla’s primary tools for population management, keeping the lid on FE is his primary concern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), and FE activists are going to use one of Godzilla’s key tools against him? He can spend a thousand times as much to use the media against an FE aspirant as the aspirant can spend to try using the media. Dennis took out full page ads in newspapers (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#whoopee) before I met him, but those same newspapers used all of their tricks to smear him. When I heard that my mother, who worked for the local paper that repeatedly smeared us with their lies, made a scrapbook of their articles (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492) and took it on tour to my family, friends, and investors, telling the story of her son the criminal, I was no longer even surprised or hurt. But that was a perfect example of the futility of trying to use the media to awaken the masses. Not only won’t it work, that very tool will be used against you, a thousand times more than you can make a dent with it.

It is just one of the many dead-ends, which might look like an attractive opportunity at first, but is quicksand that swallows aspirants. A related idea is publishing books, especially through New York publishing houses. That route can literally be suicidal. In my circle is an author who received a death threat from a high-ranking government official as he tried to go the New York publishing company route for an exotic technology tale that he lived through. The book was never published.

When Brian was the high-flying astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#mars), Ivy League professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#after), and advisor to presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), his op eds ran in The New York Times and similar venues. His scientific papers were published in the house organs of establishment science (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianbio.htm#footnotes), and his books were published by prestigious publishing houses. After he left the Establishment, he slowly found himself ostracized as he lost access to those prestigious institutions. The last several books that he published were self-published, and a fiasco surrounding one of them drove him into bankruptcy.

I am constantly being advised by naïve well-wishers to publish a book made from my big essay. They literally have no idea what they are suggesting. Not only do I not have any interest in that route, I actively avoid it. I have used this new tool called the Internet to publish an online textbook, which is going to be the hymnal for my choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and it is plenty to accomplish my task. There is no excuse for the people I seek for not doing the work, and those who complain that it is not in book form are certainly not part of my target audience. I have also published the closest thing to a book that I can online (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity1.pdf), and people could even print it out if they wanted, but what a waste of paper.

Like Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), my target audience is likely going to be people less than 30 years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#college), whose minds and spirits have yet to ossify into the dominant in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and they rarely read paper books. My site, and my big essay in particular, is a next-generation resource. The old ways will not work for what I am attempting. The old skins will not hold the new wine.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I want to make some distinctions that I think are important to understand, especially regarding what I am attempting. Human nature, the human condition, and the human potential are all very different things, but I see them confused all the time.

Human nature reflects our evolutionary journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path), and IMO, it also reflects our souls’ influence (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael). The human condition is largely the result of our economic situation, which has always ridden on the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287) and always will. As I see it, the human potential is something that a change in the human condition is going to facilitate. Radical changes in the human condition can also change human nature, as it already has many times in the human journey. We are not the victims of our natures, and can overcome and even change them. We are supposedly a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1), after all.

I did not entirely invent the Epochal Event framework that I use (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), although I did invent the Second (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) and Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) Epochs. Each Epochal Event and its outcomes were unimaginable to the beings living just before the event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). If my work helps the Fifth Epoch manifest, it will be the first event that people had some idea about, before it manifested, and their ideas about it actually helped the event manifest.

Also, make no mistake about it: although I have been living with the idea of FE for nearly 30 years, I know that my vision only scratches the surface. Even visionary shows such as Star Trek (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek) see through that glass very dimly, as even shows like that cannot fully break past our current paradigms based on scarcity and fear. I consider the alleged visit to a future Earth by Michael Roads (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1) (which I do not consider to be fictional) to be a much better star to steer by, as mind-boggling as it is.

Finding people who have the willingness and ability to leave the baggage of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) behind, in order to imagine abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), are very few and far between on Earth today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but those are the people I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why).

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On to some more of those failed approaches. The archetype of the hero in the West is several thousand years old (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hero), and men are conditioned to play the hero. On the FE quest, almost nobody is fit (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) the play the hero, and I carried the spears of the best of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). To this day, FE aspirants announce that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1) and harbor other heroic notions. Not only is almost nobody on Earth fit to play that role in the FE milieu, it plays into a deeply ingrained male delusion (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors). It is an adolescent fantasy (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#business), at best. Try as he might, Indiana Jones can’t save the world singlehandedly (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jones). A whip, fedora, and derring-do are not enough. I don’t seek heroes for my approach, and would-be heroes should seek somewhere other than my work to get involved in the FE milieu.

My next-to-last basic category is hosting social gatherings to raise FE awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conferences). Immediately after becoming Dennis’s partner, we began interacting with the public, putting on shows (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), and we held conferences for our business associates. I received a standing ovation at one of them, and the man who led the ovation tried to replace me as Dennis’s protégé, and a few months later he helped destroy our organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=207&viewfull=1#post207). I funded the conference that the New Energy Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem) put on in 2004, and that is probably the last conference that I will ever be involved with. Conferences for FE are unproductive and even suicidal, for several reasons.

One reason is that Godzillas’ minions will arrive, as will many other agents of organized suppression. The show that we put on for our business associates in January 1988 had Mr. Deputy in the crowd (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), who readied his search warrant the next day and struck the next. That is the “gentle” stuff. Brian’s brush with death (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) was related to a UFO conference that he mounted in the early 1990s. When we mounted the NEM conference in 2004, the first speaker that we lined up was murdered a few days after committing to our conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland). The conference was held in his memory, and immediately after his murder, Brian began planning his move to South America, where he spent the rest of his life, in exile. I could not blame him, although his AWOL status made it difficult to stage the conference. That kind of conference activity is normal.

During my days with Dennis in Ventura, two people who were there told me about how Max Gerson nearly died at his conference (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=830531&viewfull=1#post830531), poisoned with arsenic. The CIA and many other agents of suppression attend FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#conference1) and related conferences. When Dennis was allowed to leave Ventura County for the first time in a year, to speak at a conference, Bill the BPA Hit Man came running (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#global) and ruined Dennis’s appearance. When Dennis flew me to a conference in Las Vegas when he tried the Madison Avenue approach, I literally watched one of the conference speakers openly plot to steal Dennis’s effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal).

I worked the registration table at the NEM conference (the last place on Earth where I wanted to be, and my wife helped me), and when my wife had to deliver a message to Brian, she found him swarmed with conference groupies, the same kind that become New Age harems (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage). God, what a life-risking waste of time and energy such conferences are. Almost nobody in attendance is really there for the right reasons. They go to fulfil their social needs, find opportunities that are not aligned with the conference’s intent, are agents of organized suppression, and so on. I still get asked fairly regularly to play the conference circuit. No thanks. I would not be good at it, for one thing, and I am finished with risking my life in those ways. Been there, done that. I am in my element when writing and don’t need to press the flesh for my approach to work. Those in my inner circle get face time with me, and there are good reasons for it, but playing the conference game for FE is insanely dangerous and foolish.

The last categories will be in the next post, which is reaching out to the rich and powerful, extant organizations that might seem to be allies, and the like. Those are all dead ends, as far as I have seen. I am going to have to roll my own.

Best,

Wade

I have been reading Paul, Anne Ehrlich's "Population Explosion" and "One with Ninevah". I was turned off by Paul's emphasis on Population (and still think that his emphasis if off). However his analysis of earth, environment and population are careful. He gets some respect from me for informing the public about Spaceship Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) and where we are headed if we stay on current path.

I also just finished 1491 and in the middle of reading 1493. I now have a great amount of respect for how much historical events have influenced my life and how little I knew about them.

Hi:

Taking a break from what has not worked and is unlikely to (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336), to deal with an aspect of my work, which is also very common, even arguably necessary, in science and scholarship. It is the issue of critical thinking and discernment, and challenges to assertions, hypotheses, etc.

In science, a prized ability is formulating multiple testable hypotheses for a set of data regarding a phenomenon. Not many can do it. I provided examples of the numerous hypotheses that surround the Cryogenian Ice Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#challenges) and related events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#shuram) as a way to show how it works. There is hardly an issue in science where some scientist fails to take a contrarian position and propose alternative hypotheses. Nick Butterfield (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#butterfield) is an oxygen contrarian, and not only thinks that he may be right, but he likely considers his calling to be a noble undertaking, to keep science honest. I think that most such contrarians have a sense of noble purpose. It is not always that way, however. The Global Warming (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming) contrarians are mostly a bunch of shills who sold their souls to the Hydrocarbon Lobby (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sold), but there are also undoubtedly honest contrarians in their ranks. Many scientists and scholars have sold their souls to the prevailing winds of wealth and power, but contrarianism can be confused with corruption.

One of the “cleaner” such debates is over the megafauna extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused). No economic empires hinge on which hypothesis is correct. There is an entire cottage industry that devotes itself to deflecting responsibility from humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climatechange2) for those extinctions, although few in the mainstream take those notions seriously. There are also some very strained hypotheses from the fringes on the subject (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#velikovsky), which are taken even less seriously.

That kind of contrarian dynamic is common in science and scholarship. I know people who are contrarians almost like you see in Monty Python’s Argument Clinic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y) (transcript here (http://www.montypython.net/scripts/argument.php) – it is my favorite Python skit), as they gainsay anything that anybody says, just on principle. How much of that is due to something like oppositional-defiant disorder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppositional_defiant_disorder)?

Being challenged is what any scientist or scholar should expect, and they should be prepared to defend their position. Regarding a great deal of my work, I am not a relatively disinterested scientists or scholar, but was a participant in the events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). It has not been easy to step back and play historian for such events, and I have had to downplay my credentials to do so, as I protect the innocent and the guilty. I have a few reasons for documenting and writing about those events. Somebody had to, and I was there.

Many people have challenged the validity of my work and the veracity of the events that I write about. However, I have yet to encounter one of those challenges that was honest, rational, and informed. Usually, their challenges were riddled with logical fallacies (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false), but many challenges were dishonestly performed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel), as the libelers flung their mud at us (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel). When they fling their mud at Dennis or Brian, it often hits me, too. On the Internet, such challengers were often classic trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), and some were professionals.

It really was not until encountering Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I could see what those irrational attacks had in common. People were defending their in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup). The most irrational challenges came from those defending the population management ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Virtually none of them, as I recall, were scientists or scholars. I get a radically different reception from scientists and scholars than I do from lay audiences. I have been surprised when they have gone out of their way to read and praise my work (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#zinn2), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo)), but that does not mean that they all loved it or the ideas and information that I promote.

Brian had access to the highest levels of science, scholarship, and activism during his ride as the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). All that he received were crazed reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and he began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I encountered similar denial, couched in circular logic (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#circular) and other irrationalities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), but it was a gentler kind of challenge and rejection than comes from lay audiences and trolls. That did not make their objections valid, either, but they were more genteel.

My best critics have always been my allies, as they tried to make my work better. My work would be in far poorer shape without their help. I welcome being challenged, if the challengers know their business and can mount honest, rational, and informed critiques. It makes my work better.

Best,

Wade

Hi Freeknowledge:

Yes, Ehrlich’s stuff is pretty good, but his dire scenarios are only really valid under the energy paradigms that he is familiar with. FE makes virtually all of his concerns vanish, almost overnight (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate). That is the mind-boggling part of FE and the nearly universal denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) that scientists, scholars, and activists direct at it.

Charles Mann’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_C._Mann) 1491 and 1493 are also very good works, and really his life’s work. He won’t top them in his lifetime. He is only a few years older than I am, and I get why he wrote them when he did. I took a career break to write my big essay, knowing that I may not have been able to accomplish it in another decade, as the curves of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and decrepitude converge. :) I could not have written it ten years ago, and may not be able to in another ten. I won’t write its like again in this life, and Mann is done, too. And that is OK. There is a time and place for everything. The best physicists are usually done by age 30, and 40 at the latest, with the rest just the shouting.

I am a member of history’s most privileged demographic group, which rode an unprecedented energy wave (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), which crested when I was teenager (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert). It is all downhill from there, unless FE makes it past the organized suppression and humanity’s inertia. You are riding that wave, too.

Best,

Wade

Hi:


On to the last paths that have not worked. Dennis’s idealism propelled him from the beginning. His first religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis) was American nationalism, when that went up in smoke before his eyes and he nearly killed himself, he got his mystical awakening, in an event far more dramatic (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) than any other that I know of. His frustrated idealism caused him to drop out of college on the brink of graduation (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#skinner), and he became an idealistic entrepreneur. His first company (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#builders) was wiped out by the USA’s first energy crisis. He then invented a savings card (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#ucs), in a bout of automatic writing, and during those days, he became a Christian. That effort failed, too, but not before he tried to give the company the Christian community and became partners with a leading televangelist. In those early days, he tried to have his companies comprised of Christians, and that was a disaster.

When he got involved in energy conservation, first in foam insulation (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#foam) and later with the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2), there was none of that Christian orientation evident in his approach, but just playing the businessman’s game. He was still brilliant (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs) and idealistic, but he did not play the Christian card in those days, and did not when I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting).

When I became Dennis’s partner (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing), he soon began playing the patriot and Christian cards in his rhetoric, but he was also playing the P.T. Barnum showman (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#barnum), as he tried out the populist approach. Within months of becoming his partner, we saw a fake populist organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#coalition) fabricated by the local electric companies, and we tried to ally with a local environmental organization that was protesting the local nuclear plant (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#protest) (which that fake populist organization was formed to promote), and it turned out that the interests funding those protestors were using them for their own money-making scheme. My disillusionment began coming fast and furiously in those days (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202). But those times were still the calm before the storm.

In Ventura, when Dennis invented a new program that led to explosive growth (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), and I brought the money and talent together that made our FE dreams perhaps more than a pipedream, we became a global mecca, before we were wiped out with extreme prejudice (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail) after Godzilla made his final offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer). Dennis began his involvement with Constitutionalists in those days, and the leading Constitutionalist attorney in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime) defended Dennis. After Ventura, Dennis played the Madison Avenue game (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#steal), trying to gather that populist crowd, and also became involved in the Patriot Movement. After barely surviving the prison experience, when the authorities actively tried to get him killed (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mistakes), Dennis once again tried the populist route, using Patriots, Christians, and every other angle that he could use. The Amish (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=422926&viewfull=1#post422926) even got involved. This was ten years after I became Dennis’s partner, when he was full of populist zeal, and he admitted to me that almost nobody on Earth really cared, but he was still sifting through the mine tailings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), looking for nuggets. He rarely found any.

At the same time as Dennis began barnstorming America, Brian O began his ride as the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). Like Dennis, Brian was another flag-saluting patriot, an overgrown Boy Scout (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts), literally, who deeply drank the Kool-Aid of his indoctrination, becoming an astronaut (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#mars) and advisor to presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall). Brian was involved with environmental and various “progressive” groups. When Brian played the Paul Revere of FE, he had access to the highest levels of scientific, academic, and progressive institutions. Brian honestly rode around the world. Five years later, we met and traded notes, and I heard how his ride went (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). Virtually all that he received were crazed reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). Two years later, Brian asked me to help him found another populist organization, a non-profit organization devoted to getting out the word on FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem). One of the world’s leading environmentalists (http://www.newenergymovement.org/founders.php) was on the original board. I witnessed more naïve, populist zeal, along with some sobered fellow travelers. The experience was another disaster, the man who replaced me on the board drove Brian out of the organization that he founded, and I then decided that I was through with joining somebody else’s effort.

I was still not quite finished with looking for allies in various efforts, and contacted Peak Oilers (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm), radical leftists (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), and even the founder (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) of the Free Software Movement (http://ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm). Nobody was home, ever. I stopped contacting groups nearly a decade ago, and realized that I needed to roll my own. As I emerged from my monster of a midlife crisis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife), I began interacting with the public when I saw them discussing my work, but trolls dominated the conversations (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll). I then decided that I needed to found my own forum, for my effort to have a chance. I was pleasantly surprised when one of my early interviewers (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm) discovered the same reality that I did and began a troll-free forum, and I have happily posted there (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=422926&viewfull=1) for nearly five years. I can still get the troll treatment (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3653-Wade-Frazier-Energy-and-the-Human-Journey&) when I venture into other forums, but I began my own forum last year (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php), to host the high-level conversation that I think is necessary for my idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to work. Other forums that I am in are essentially recruiting efforts and giving the public a way to interact with me, while keeping the trolls at bay.

In nearly 30 years of living with the idea of FE, and being involved with several efforts, before I finally decided to mount my own, I saw every door that you can imagine on Earth banged on, from the White House, Pentagon, Congress, UN (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1), and other governmental bodies, to religious organizations (Christian, Islamic, etc.), “spiritual (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage),” to environmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) and “progressive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2),” to scientific and academic, to “philanthropic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich)” and charitable, etc., etc. It was not just one timid knock, either, but all of those doors have been banged on many times, by the best of the best. Nobody was ever home, and if they seemed to be, they were just seeing if they could destroy, coopt, or steal the effort.

It took me many years to understand what I was seeing. It was not until reading some of Bucky Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) that I was able to see what those reactions all had in common. It was really, at its root, the same thing that I had learned 15 years previously, that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), but I also was seeing why that was the case. People everywhere lived in fear, and all of those reactions of denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear had a cognitive commonality: they were all rooted in people’s adaptations to scarcity. Like Brian said, they had all abdicated their sentience for security. They all had allegiance to scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and they consequently were unable to comprehend abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance), and if they glimpsed it, they either attacked or fled (the fight or flight response (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#liferequirements)).

This is not something that I just came up with one day, but it is the residue of literally thousands of attempts to find organizations to ally with. Such organizations do not exist. They are all invested in their ideological positions as a means of survival, which are all rooted in scarcity. Abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) ends the world as they know it, and it scares them. They all think like victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and only people who think like creators can make this happen, and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest).

It still goes back to my lesson on integrity. I do not expect to find anybody else who lived it at Dennis’s level (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany). I am not even looking for any more like Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm). I don’t expect to be led to another Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey). I seek people such as Ilie (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/75-Ilie-Pandia-s-introductory-posts?p=131&viewfull=1#post131) and Darren (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=124&viewfull=1#post124). A few thousand of them, doing the work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), and making the biggest event in the human journey manifest will be child’s play. They are going to be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), with rare qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307), but I have devoted the rest of my life’s “spare” time to finding and training them.

This ends this series of posts on what has not worked, and the next series will be on what might.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This will be a series of posts that goes a little deeper into what might work for making FE happen. I have already written on potential outcomes of my effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) and what has not yet worked and is unlikely to (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336), but this series of posts will be on why I think that my approach might have a chance. I hope that my approach becomes fairly obvious, or at least not difficult to understand, when the paths of failure are understood.

Patents don’t work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=337&viewfull=1#post337), neither does the proprietary technology route (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=338&viewfull=1#post338), nor have business and capitalist-based attempts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=339&viewfull=1#post339), not have guerilla attempts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=340&viewfull=1#post340), mass movements (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=341&viewfull=1#post341), heroic approaches, social gatherings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=343&viewfull=1#post343), finding other groups that can be allied with (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=344&viewfull=1#post344), rich philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich), and so on. They have all been tried many times, by some of the best (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) that humanity can boast of. Trying all of those routes was understandable, as the goal is the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), when humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). The problems are partly based on the dynamic that Machiavelli described (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). The mass of humanity is not going to begin to awaken (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) until the means of abundance are delivered into their lives. That is just how it has always worked. Nobody could even imagine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) what each Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) would bring, and even though we have hints for this one (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions), almost everybody on Earth is addicted to their survival mechanisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation) in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming).

Not only are the masses blind and deaf to the idea of FE, if they don’t openly deny (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) it, there is a very loyal opposition to bringing FE to the public (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars). They possess FE technology themselves (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but they are determined to not let humanity have any. However, the insanity of that position (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars) as we destroy Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) is obvious, and cooler heads may prevail. That cabal is fractured (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal), but I am not counting on the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white) to ride to the rescue. If we wait around for somebody to come solve our problems, we will never solve our problems.

Each Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) was initiated by a relative or literal handful of beings. The first technological breakthroughs were not even made by what we call people, but humanity’s ancestors (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#stonetool1). I don’t see why it will be different this time, and about 100,000 people is what I think will be needed for doing something, but the nucleus “only” needs to be several thousand (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). It can’t be just anybody off the street, but it will be people with very rare qualities (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307), the most important of which is that they care for something beyond their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308). My journey taught me how rare such people are (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), but that is only one quality that will likely be necessary for my approach to have a chance of success. It won’t be easy to find and train those people, but somebody has to try that approach out. Why do I think that it might have a chance? That is a subject for coming posts.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

First of all, people whose horizons extend past their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) are going to have broader and deeper perspectives, no matter what their mental horsepower is. Younger people are going to be more likely to have that perspective, as their minds and spirits have yet to ossify in the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies of their societies, which Bucky Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#college). Those ideologies are all scarcity-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) and egocentric, and readily work on more than 99% of humanity. But I am looking for the very rare people not in thrall to them. Those that I encountered, who woke up past them, all discovered the truth of their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) the hard way, because they cared.

If people really care, they are not going to settle for the self-serving pabulum that the social managers serve up, and they will have a love of the truth. They usually bought the lies at first, as that was all they knew, but they eventually woke up to the reality of their indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm). Only people who have been awakened by their experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) are going to be able to help. Experience is the greatest teacher, perhaps the only teacher, and from experience comes knowledge, not the beliefs that we are fed.

Materialism is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) and is a far subtler and more seductive (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) religion than those of previous Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1), and tends to appeal to the “smart,” but it is just another faith built on a shaky foundation. I am not sure that relinquishing that religion is required for what I do, but nobody that I really respected in the FE field subscribed to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), as they all woke up via their experiences, not a received teaching or literature review.

For what I am doing, people need to have some mental horsepower, which is needed for discerning thought and keeping a grasp on the many moving parts that comprise the big picture. It has been called being a generalist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists), or comprehensivist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Some scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) and familiarity with scholarship is required for my approach to have a chance of working.

Those are the qualities that I need for my approach to have a chance of working, and why might those work? I am going to provide some examples of those qualities in action, to make it clearer.

Time to begin a busy week.

Best,

Wade

I'm just dropping by and squeeze something out of my free time to just inform people here of this recent event that our country's president also participated in making with other world leaders:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Agreement

WE NEED MORE!!! FREE ENERGY FOR WORLD PEACE! :)

What is the use of this, from a conventional progressivist perspective, if there is TPP and TPIP???

I also noticed your latest post about people before 25 years old having a great chance to get what you are trying to say here. Well, I kinda count into this since I encountered your work at age 21 and in that day back in late 2012, my life was changed by your work. I do hope that people who haven't read about my little essay to click on the links in my signature so you can all read about my life journey before seeing Wade's site. It also discussed the reasons why I managed to relate to many things discussed in Wade's site that I can't deny what I've just read eventually. I really believe in the stuff though it took me some time to process all of this. It even took me nearly 3 years just to make my appearance here. It took me a few months to process everything after my first encounter with the site. It made me truly depressed. But that depression made me realize that I can no longer turn a blind eye and create an elaborate mental scheme to forget the things I've read. I can't do it. I've gone far enough. How "lucky" I am. I just can't help eventually but just look around me and wonder, is there anybody like me that I can talk too about something even remotely related to UFOs or FE? Is there somebody here? I just want somebody to talk too. It still took me a year before I decided to talk about this to somebody, only to receive a half-hearted agreement to things I've said though I know that he is not really listening. It's tough but somehow.... I'm still here. :) Finally, I can't help it but I just have to get past my paranoia and make an appearance here. I can only imagine what people like Brian O'Leary and Dennis Lee had gone through, even Wade.

Hi:

On what might work, the people that I seek will not be distracted by the latest gossip, the latest talking head, the latest flavor of the day, or the latest YouTube clip. They will think far more deeply than that. The latest scientific paper, not the latest gossip, will attract their attention. When an FE aspirant announces that he is the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), they ideally will not have even heard of it. When some FE inventor with a gizmo that he built in his garage announces that he “has it!”, or some fringe voice announces “proof” that NASA never landed men on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#apollo) or that Earth is only 6,000 years old, or that he has the latest inside scoop on Godzilla’s antics, they also will not be paying attention. When the latest fringe writer or would-be “scientist” publishes his latest masterpiece (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=106&viewfull=1#post106), the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is going to have better things to do than digest it. Those are the daily distractions of the global circus, and the vast majority of such material comprises the chaff of the fringes. The true contenders in that sea of pretenders are few and far between.

Some who have played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) may make guest appearances at my forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php), but I do not foresee that becoming a common occurrence. Not many have played on the high road and can speak publicly about it, for starters. I have documented enough of the reality that those on the high road have encountered that not many need to testify to the reality for those in the choir to understand. They should largely understand before I invite them in. Those in the choir will have already been awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) by their experiences, and my experiences (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm), or Dennis’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), or Brian’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), will not seem all that fantastic, even though even I sometimes look back at my life’s events and wonder if they really happened, and Dennis’s story is far harder to believe. I did not begin to publicly discuss Sparky Sweet’s adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) until a decade after his death. I do not plan to ever reveal the names of the military officials who shortened Brian’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). In fact, I made it a point to not even know those names. The person who witnessed an exotic technology show (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) is still alive. Perhaps, one day, he will be free to publicly discuss it, but I am not holding my breath.

I will likely never be free to publicly reveal my CIA relative’s identity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), and might never be able to reveal the identity of the household name diplomat that he worked for (who is still alive), but anybody with a little gumption can easily discover nearly all of the names that I used pseudonyms for in my writings, such as Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), Mr. Deputy (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), Mr. Researcher (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#espionage), Mr. Big Time Attorney (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#bigtime), Bill the BPA Hit Man (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), and so on. Those in the choir will know most if not all of those names, as part of their education. However, the names are not that important; the information and ideas are. Documentation plays an important role, but has its limitations. You can’t get experience from perusing documents, other than develop discernment regarding documents.

For an example of the kinds of discussions that the choir will engage in, I am in the middle of Peter Ward’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ward) and Joe Kirschvink’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#supercontinent1) latest book, A New History of Life (http://www.amazon.com/New-History-Life-Discoveries-Evolution/dp/160819907X). Their work is well worth reading, and I may tweak my big essay to incorporate some of the findings and hypotheses in that book. I can easily foresee forum threads devoted to discussing books such as that and key scientific papers, and a corner of my forum will be devoted to discussing FE physics. That will be potentially dangerous territory, but as long as members do not try to rush out and “do something,” it should be a safe conversation. There will even be a place to discuss FE inventors and activists. But it won’t be at the gossip level. Some of them may join my forum to discuss their work and experiences. It will be a friendly venue, but will also be one for critical thinking. What it won’t be is a place for the latest alleged “insider” to come forth to “spill the beans” on Godzilla’s activities. Unless it is given under oath in a public venue (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer), I am not going to take it very seriously, and neither should the choir. There is a boatload of disinformation out there for every grain of the truth.

Even scientific “heretics” such as Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers) and Rupert Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) still believed in the process of science. The ideal of science (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is a worthy one, if rarely achieved, especially regarding areas touched by the disruptive technology that Godzilla and friends have sequestered (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#irrelevant). The scientific ideal will be one of the stars that the choir steers by. It won’t be a dogma or cure-all, but will be seen as a process with important uses.

But that process of winnowing through the chaff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), discussing the latest scientific paper, hearing from the latest person who survived walking the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), are only preliminaries for the kinds of discussions that I plan to have, where a comprehensive discussion is held, where this kind of world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) not only is imagined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), but we begin to see how we can get there, and all of those paths of failure (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336) are seen as learning experiences.

Time for work.

Hey Serg:

I am on the way out the door to work, but you have been doing the work. It is good work, but as you know, it is heavy lifting. Unless you search very far and wide, you are not going to find anybody in your vicinity to discuss any of this with. This is part of the reason for my public presence. As I build the choir, I can see members getting together in the real world. I have seen people come together over my work, even at places such as Avalon.

Time for work.

Best,

Hi:

My big essay was designed so that when it came to the essay’s meat, the visionary chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), readers would have a good chance to gain a fairly robust understanding of it. The biggest event in the human journey is not easy to understand, and today, more than 99% of humanity is in ignorance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level0), denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), or fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) of it, as they project their egocentric understandings onto the issue, where their immediate self-interest forms the horizon of their awareness. If they can even glimpse it, all they see is the world as they know it ending, and it scares them.

Those in the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will have an understanding of FE’s potential and see hints of it during the journey of life on Earth, and the human journey in particular. The world will end as we know it with FE, but that does not have to be a bad thing. The world ended as people knew it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) with every Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable).

Chimp societies would be described as psychopathic if humans were in them. Male gangs run them, they will annihilate their neighbors if they can (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), take their territory and fertile females, and kill all the infants (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). When their food supply doubled after gorillas left the area, bonobos overcame that dynamic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) and ended violent male rule. Bonobo societies are more peaceful than any human society ever was.

Animals and people have had many golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) of relative energy abundance, and when the human line left Africa about two million years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#migrate1), it was likely due to population pressures in the home range. For the next two million years, that expanded range meant little inter-human violence. Conflicts were resolved by one group moving onward.

When behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) humans left Africa 50-60 thousand years ago (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit) (likely from population pressures, once again), there was a short-lived Golden Age of the Hunter Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer), which lasted as long as the easy meat did. It was peace and plenty again, for a while. When the easy energy was gone, it was back to inter-human violence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#violence1). It is proportionately the most violent stage of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate).

Until that time, the human line had been run by males since at least gorillas. But in a few places where the easy meat was extinct and the flora conducive to it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kebaran), women began cultivating plants as an adjunct to their gathering duties. As women began bringing in more energy than the men, their status rose and those cultures often became matrilocal and broke up the male gangs, which broke a trend that lasted at least ten million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). Those are the most peaceful pre-industrialized societies, and their attractions were obvious to Europeans who stumbled into them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mississippian), as running off and going native (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive) was an endemic problem. Civilization arose from those peaceful agrarian societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian), in that golden age.

As civilization arose, men again took over and women’s status declined (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and that golden age ended. When male gangs rule, psychopaths run the show, and Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is the ultimate example of that, as it is a Boys’ Club. Women are underachievers on the dark path (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving), as they have bodies conducive to serving others. The first agrarian civilizations were peaceful, and their spread was a golden age. However, as with the hunter-gatherer phase, they were not energetically sustainable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations), and when the easy energy ran out (food, fertile soils, and wood), then civilizations battled as they collapsed. That was a constant (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses). Rising and falling empires characterized agrarian civilizations, and one deforested island (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#domesday) turned to coal in desperation and the Fourth Epoch began (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse). The most spectacular outcome of industrialization was the Demographic Transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). Human populations changed from short-lived, largely illiterate, and socially rigid and oppressive to long-lived, educated, and relatively free. Industrialization liberated women and slaves. While the energy was plentiful, human societies took strides never before imagined. Energy consumption and humanity’s standard of living crested in the era that I was born in (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), and I can’t complain. My father helped put men on the Moon (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts) (humanity’s greatest energy feat so far), and I had opportunities growing up that my father could not imagine, much less his father, who lived in a sod hut while young (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#kansas). But it has been all downhill for the past 40 years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline), and humanity’s energy consumption is also peaking (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil).

Humanity stands on the edge of the abyss today (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), due to its energy practices. FE can end all of those problems almost overnight (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but the economic, social, and cognitive changes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) were always those that interested Brian and me (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) the most. Star Trek barely hints at what the Fifth Epoch will be like (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions).

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

In my professional life, I design and manage information systems (http://ahealedplanet.net/trucking.htm#footnotes). The goals of information systems are not easily achieved and include:


Being easy to use;
Providing relevant, reliable, and timely information;
Performing the elementary and sometimes sophisticated aspects of data processing, to allow the user to function at higher cognitive levels, to make better and more sophisticated decisions.

As an elementary example, a good system would free users from adding two plus two and let them think of the meaning of two plus two, and how it relates to other data. Only when freed from the mundane aspects of data processing can higher levels of cognition be achieved, such as analytics. Think of it like an emergent property (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence).

In essence, that is what my public work attempts to help my readers achieve regarding how the world works. But I also found in my public life that people are often not willing or capable of thinking at those higher levels, and want jobs where they add two plus two all day long, because they are incapable of the higher levels of cognition or don’t want to, as they are lazy, it takes too much effort, etc.

I live across the street from Microsoft’s headquarters, and managers there earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. The reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy and Microsoft often does a poor job of it, but gets away with it due to its market (near-monopoly) position. Nevertheless, people making those high salaries generally make them because they are thinking at those higher levels of cognition, not just writing code, but designing and managing it. It is like the difference between a carpenter and an architect. Far too much code has been designed by carpenters or “architects” who are really only fit to pound nails. Far too much of how the world really works gets lost in the circus, the gossip, the disinformation, and levels of thought that are too low to really understand.

A key goal for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is to get past the mind-traps and intellectual quicksand, both in orthodoxy and on the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm). Some have been constructed by Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) and friends, but most traps are easily avoided and only snare people who do not really want to think, who only want to hear what supports their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideology, who get their “news” from TV, think that “research” is surfing YouTube, and the like. But there are many levels of the mind-trap game. The print media is more sophisticated than TV, but is still filled with mind-controlling deceptions (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big). Most of the deceptions are unconscious, as both the producers and consumers have internalized the egocentric in-group lies as self-evident truths and never question them. But not all of it is, and dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) know the game they play, and Godzilla pays handsomely to employ those psychopaths who are good at mindf**k. I watched them easily manipulate people (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)). It was mostly because their targets had low levels of personal integrity and were easily led down the path with the carrots and sticks, not so much because their victims had low intelligence, but that could also play a part, such as with my mother (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492). I watched people far older, smarter, and supposedly worldlier than me get led down the path (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3), and I could not believe it at first.

The scientific (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#orthodox) and scholarly (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity) processes have their virtues and limitations, but they can help winnow the wheat from the chaff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), if properly used. Paradigm shifts (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction) in science have happened when the assumptions were challenged and overturned.

Those in the choir will not be susceptible to those dark path tactics, and they will not disappear down the many rabbit holes that beckon. They may have been misled a time or two and had to extricate themselves from some rabbit holes, which were valuable experiences that helped “inoculate” them from going there again. They will distinguish important issues from trifling ones, do not care about the latest gossip, and will be deep thinkers.

Attaining a comprehensive level of awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) and discernment is not easy, but once it is achieved, those in the choir will be able to mount a comprehensive discussion. A comprehensive awareness is the only one that can truly understand the vision in this chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). A comprehensive and public discussion of the material in that chapter has never happened before in a public setting, and that is what I am trying to achieve. That is the song that has never been heard in chorus on Earth before. It is discussing, at a high level, an Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) that has yet to be achieved, at least publicly. Technologically, it already has (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Just achieving that discussion will be plenty for me for this lifetime (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine), but that conversation can lead to so much more. What that can be will be the subject of coming posts. I know that my approach can work, if I can find enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307).

Godzilla’s greatest triumph is making FE and what can come with it be unimaginable. I seek to wreck that game, but I also seek to help reveal horizons that not even Godzilla has dared to imagine, mostly because he can’t, because his heart is not in the right place. But even he can be redeemed. But that is down the road a ways, after the Fifth Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) has manifested. Godzilla cannot be negotiated with or defeated in battle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9); he can only be made obsolete, along with all elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear).

Time for work.

Fire it seems is important for sleeping on the ground.... which changed our sleep patterns. And therefore time we had that we were not sleeping..

Thanks Freeknowledge.

I won’t reply all in one post, but the ground-sleeping issue is closely related to the fire issue. As that article noted, Homo erectus was adapted for sleeping on the ground (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#turkanaboy), but the species appeared around two million years ago. Today, the orthodox view today is that the control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1) was only a million years ago. Some chimps have been found to sleep on the ground, but for Homo erectus to be fully adapted to ground-sleeping, without the benefit of a campfire, is a mystery. Moving back the control of fire to two million years would solve that problem, as well as the anatomical changes in Homo erectus, which were pretty radical from their ancestors, even if it was habilines (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#habilis). Wrangham thinks that cooked food explains it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cooking). I very much look forward to seeing how the evidence and hypotheses fare in the coming years.

The 1493 stuff I’ll save for the morning.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

To the 1493 part of Freeknowledge’s post, Europe’s conquest of the world set many events in motion. None of it would have happened if Europe had not achieved the greatest energy feat in world history to that time: turning the global ocean into a low-energy transportation lane (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2). All else followed from that. Most importantly, it initiated the greatest demographic catastrophes in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2). Three continents were invaded and shorn of their indigenous populations (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#genocide), another one became the source of millions of slaves, and the biggest continent was also enslaved, which caused the biggest death toll of all. Disease is credited today with most of the carnage, but that is still debated. I doubt that the germ theory of disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) is complete. If germs are pleomorphic, and the evidence weighs strongly in its favor (http://truthquest2.com/germtheory.htm), then the germ theory of disease is incomplete or incorrect. IMO, alternatives to the germ theory have not had a fair hearing. I’ll agree that epidemic disease killed off most natives of the Western Hemisphere, but the mechanics of epidemic disease are subject to debate, IMO.

The so-called Columbian Exchange (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_Exchange) was the transport of plants and animals across the oceans by European ships. New World crops definitely had a huge effect on the Old World (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ireland), and are partly credited with the population explosion that began in the 1700s.

Steel and guns were instruments of Europe’s military superiority over the natives, but as Freeknowledge noted, their impact on the Columbian Exchange was arguably less than epidemic diseases and the intercontinental relocation of species. The biggest effect of those events, however, was deforested England’s turning in desperation to coal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coaluse), which initiated the Industrial Revolution, which led to the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic).

Making FE happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why) will likely become the greatest act of altruism in the human journey, which leads to my next post, as I resume my choir writings.

Best,

Wade

Wade: Is there something to this gentlemen David Sereda and his work on frequencies and anti-gravity? Can you opine as to his work and hypothesis on pyramids and communicating faster than speed of light with ET? He has worked with many in FE field and his demonstrations appear valid. Not in my wheelhouse thanks in advance for your response. https://youtu.be/LP1A9oy0s9A

[Wade Frazier]

Hi wide-eyed, I do not know anything about Sereda, and largely avoid talking heads like him. Very few who hold forth like he does are the genuine article. The talk circuits that he works are riddled with charlatans.

Hi:

The conversation that I seek to mount (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=349&viewfull=1#post349) has never happened before on Earth in public, of any significance. It is the conversation that Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) might well have begun if he was alive today. Today’s world, and especially the Internet, is about “getting the word out,” “going viral,” and well-meaning people think that I should go on Oprah, go the New York publishing route, do the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) talk circuit (which is filled with pretenders vending their chaff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=106&viewfull=1#post106)), etc. For what I am doing, it won’t work. Imagine Uncle Noam (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) on Oprah. My work is vastly more radical. It is Epochal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) in its magnitude, and almost nobody can even think about it for long before going off the deep end. People have literally ended up in mental institutions or should have been admitted to them. You have to have both feet firmly planted on the ground to navigate this terrain.

Brian began his journey into the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#frontiers) with access to the media and the highest levels of academic, scientific, and “progressive” institutions, and the more he pursued the truth and tried to awaken his professional brethren, the greater his ostracism, and he eventually died in exile in South America (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#last). I am all too aware of the fate of people like me who try to engage academia, the mainstream, and the Oprahs of the world. Brian tried to interest “visionaries” such as Branson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Branson) and Gates, and was always shut out. The idea of FE never gets a fair hearing in such venues. Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) has something to do with that, but really, his influence is minor. Almost everybody does his work for him, addicted to their survival mechanisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), rarely seeing beyond their immediate self-interest (or wanting to (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn)), mired in scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), etc.

After barely surviving my adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm) with my sanity intact, I spent most of my “spare” time for a generation, and seven years of my life, full-time, without pay, creating the body of work that comprises my web site (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm). Not many people are able or willing to do that, but I accept that I am on special assignment, as with my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures). I have written at length (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) regarding the people that I seek for this Epochal task (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) and the qualities that they will likely have.

I did just not come up with those qualifications one day, but they are the result of a lifetime of being trained (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), adventuring, trading notes with fellow travelers, studying, engaging the public, and so on. I seek very rare people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and the best “bait” is not “getting out the message,” but having a high-level conversation that will call to the souls of the people I seek, singing a song in chorus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) that has never been heard before. It has to be about the notes, not the numbers, not getting “exposure,” not throwing that wide net. I may do some more promotion of it one day, but what is immensely more important at this stage is people with the right stuff doing the work and learning to hit the notes. That is why I have been very picky on who can join. For the few who even glimpse what I am writing about, almost every single one drags along their baggage of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), their social consciousness, their mass movement ideas (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), and all of those old skins that won’t hold the new wine. The scientifically illiterate ones try to drag in the chaff of the fringes (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=102&viewfull=1#post102), and when I tell them that they have to leave it at the door, they disappear. That they are even dragging it around means that they likely do not have what I seek.

The masses are only going to begin awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink) when the means of abundance are delivered into their lives, and that means FE, with a bullet. Nothing else can do it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity).

Enough of what does not work and is not likely to, but what might? The day that anybody on Earth can have a deep discussion of any chapter of my big essay with me will be a triumph. I have scientists studying for that, and we will see how it goes. When that comprehensive discussion is mounted, it is going to help those watching, and if we begin to hit the notes that I think are needed, it will be an unprecedented event in the human journey. When the notes begin to be hit, then those that I seek will at least have a song that they want to hear.

If enough people can hit the notes, they are going to have an immensely valuable perspective which can create an unprecedented critical mass, and then “doing something” will be easy. They will focus on what is important, won’t be distracted by the circus and disinformation, and we will attain octaves never before reached, much less aspired to. Only when several thousand people can hit the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will the next steps (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) be feasible, and that is for coming posts.

Best,

Hi:

Before I get to the next steps of what the choir can do, I want to emphasize what the choir will be. People in the choir are going to get it, on several levels. Again, if their hearts are not in the right place to start with (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308), the rest won’t matter. They will have already been awakened in some way before encountering my work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), and a mystical awakening always helps (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) and may even be necessary. That provides a foundation so that their scientific literacy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) is grounded in a healthy and larger framework. They won’t have the tunnel vision of the specialist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#specialists), but the broad perspective of the generalist. They will have a combination of imagination (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions) and discernment (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories), and will have developed a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing). Achieving that perspective won’t be easy.

When I state that those New Age nostrums (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), folk tales, and various fringe works (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/70-Distinguishing-the-wheat-from-the-chaff-and-my-life-s-journey?p=106&viewfull=1#post106) need to be left at my forum’s door, those in the choir will understand why. They will have done the work to understand that such works are of dubious validity or trifling importance when compared to helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). They will not be distracted by the New Age or conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) flavors of the day, the latest FE aspirant who announces that he is the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah) and that his FE prototype (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) is THE ANSWER, and so on. They will acknowledge and even have some respect for Godzilla’s existence and role (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), but will not obsess about it. They will think like creators, not victims (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and creators create with love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest). They will discuss the latest scientific papers, not the latest YouTube clips. They will understand the distinction between human nature, the human condition, and the human potential (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=342&viewfull=1#post342), and they will be able to sing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). :)

Those people will keep their eye on the ball, they will not drag in their “bright ideas (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336)” that are all variations of what has never come close to working (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and they will see that what I am mounting just might have a chance. If nothing else, it won’t hurt, and those in the choir won’t be risking their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#pursuing).

Amassing a group of such people, singing the song of abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/26-The-Song-of-Abundance?p=37&viewfull=1#post37) on the global stage, has never happened on Earth before, not even remotely. What can such a choir achieve? That many people with a unity of vision like that (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is unprecedented, and the ripple effects could be many. I consider it entirely possible that it will help create an environment that could see Godzilla or the so-called White Hats (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#white) come forward with their sequestered technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). If that happens, the nightmare ends and the fun can begin. But we can’t count on that situation, and have to be prepared to go all the way and independently develop FE for public use. It won’t be nearly as hard as some people think, but it also won’t be nearly as easy as some people think. FE is not going to come out of the garages of a guerilla revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla), and almost certainly will not come out of corporate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching2) or governmental (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1) venues. The “philanthropists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rich)” almost certainly won’t help, nor will the “progressives,” and so on. Few, if any, of them have the right stuff.

But, with several thousand singers comprising the ballast of heart-centered sentience, to form the nucleus for a hundred thousand “doers” to coalesce around, the technical project of bringing FE to the world will be child’s play. FE inventors are a dime a dozen. The technology has been developed thousands of times to the prototype stage (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate), and Godzilla developed it to a commercial level generations ago. The technical project will be relatively easy, like making a Pentium chip, but you can’t make Pentium chips in garages. The hardest part of my effort will be amassing the choir, and I have devoted the rest of my life’s “spare” time to doing it.

I have stated for many years that the only prayer that the inventor’s route to FE has is for an inventor with the goods to give it to a worthy group. The choir is intended to become that worthy group. Others are welcome to try, but I don’t see a worthy group being amassed with an approach very different from what I propose. I have been on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) for too many years and intimately know what has not worked (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336) and is not likely to. I came to my approach almost by a process of elimination. If people with the right stuff do the work, they will see it, too. Brian and Dennis immediately understood that I was doing something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852).

The next post will sketch what a technical effort to develop FE for public use will look like.

Best,

Wade

Hi wide-eyed, I do not know anything about Sereda, and largely avoid talking heads like him. Very few who hold forth like he does are the genuine article. The talk circuits that he works are riddled with charlatans.

Best,

Wade

Thanks for your opinion/views on Sereda. Serada's demonstrations and mentioning he worked with Robert Hutchins sp? (the levitating bowling ball) made me stop and wonder if he was anything to write home about and follow up on. I am not that familiar with even a small portion of your encyclopedic work here and have only scratched the surface reading your big essay jumping in here and there but there is time and I have two children and a family to get up to speed with me.. Thanks for your opinion- Back to reading the big essay next to a fire on a sunny, cold, 21 degree -day here in snow-less Wi. Respect, Wide

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Today, I work in a relatively high-tech factory. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are more than 5% of the company’s revenues, and it has been around for generations. Dennis spent millions of dollars in development expenses for his heat pump (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and he eventually developed the idea to turn his heat pump into an appliance (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#develop), with prefabricated panel arrays, to eliminate installation problems and improve the quality.

For something as mundane as Dyson vacuum cleaners, they built more than a thousand prototypes (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#develop). I worked for software companies for 15 years, and software has similar development processes, but much easier, because only software is being developed, not hardware.

Dennis was kind of fortunate with his heat pump, in that the only exotic piece of technology was the panel (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#panel). Everything else could be bought over the counter at an industrial parts house. The fewer exotic components, the easier the R&D is, but R&D is largely about inventing and developing those exotic parts.

There is a great misperception amongst the general public, probably because they watched movies such as Back to the Future, where people think that R&D, and especially technology for public use, can happen in garages and backyard shops. No technology for public use was ever developed that way. Crude prototypes could be built that way (such as Sparky’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal)), but only industrial R&D processes can develop public-quality technologies. Brian kept trying to educate the public on the gulf between working prototypes and something ready for public use, and near the end of his life he estimated about $200 million of development costs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demonstrate) for an FE device for public use. I’ll buy that. That is one reason why the guerilla movement notion is ludicrous (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#guerilla).

When I talked with inventors with professional R&D experience, and they were in the FE milieu, they estimated several years of development, at industrial levels of funding, for an FE device for public use. That is where the $200 million number comes from.

$200 million to develop the most wealth-generating technology in the human journey is truly peanuts, an amount so trifling that it barely merits mentioning. However, an effort like that cannot run under Godzilla’s radar (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), and anything that gets going is targeted for neutralization. Also, since almost nobody involved in such efforts so far had the right stuff, just a little organized suppression, with some agent provocateurs sprinkled into the mix, and the efforts ended in self-destructive orgies of greed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greed) and fear. What I saw in Seattle (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle1) and Ventura (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas) was very educational, and human behavior could never surprise me again after the Ventura experience.

Only very rare people (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) are going to be qualified for choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) membership, and for the 100,000 that “do something,” (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers) they are going to be similarly rare. I see people, all the time, projecting their self-serving motivations and fears onto what I am doing and state that it cannot work. Well, it cannot with the approaches that have been used in the past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches), and I am avoiding all of those. I expect this to start slowly, and the first people trained are always the hardest. It took Jose Silva (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) several years to train his first adult.

The choir is not going to be a garden variety forum of New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)/conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) chatter that abounds today, with anonymous members. The kind of effort that I envision has not yet existed on the Internet (this one (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=22527&p=320041) comes closer). It will truly be a virtual community, which may presage a real one. Only when that choir is formed, with several thousand comprehensive-thinking and vocal members, will the next steps be feasible. As I have stated, that choir may be all that is needed to catalyze FE to come in from the shadows (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=351&viewfull=1#post351), but we cannot count on that.

If it comes to mounting a technical development effort, there is not going to be any secrecy. The effort will be transparent, the 100,000 will focus their attention on it, will fund it, and the technology will be open-sourced and given away to humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#numbers). That effort is not going to seek the attention of the masses, although anybody can look in who wants to. The masses are not going to begin to awaken until the technology is delivered into their lives. Talk is not going to do it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It has been this way for all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and I do not see any reason why it will be different this time. FE means the end of the world as we know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and the masses do not want to imagine it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), much less try to.

With 100,000 doers, coalesced around a nucleus of high sentience and integrity, Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is going to slink away. He may try various tricks to start with, but if enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) come together, it is going to be Game Over for Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and he knows it. Just where in the real world that effort will focus is uncertain at this time. I doubt that it will be in the USA, as it is far too corrupt, but it will likely happen in an industrialized nation (maybe European). Only a Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4) society can help manifest the Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), IMO. Most of the effort’s members will not be “on the ground” for such an effort, but will participate via the Internet. I have heard that China is building a city to pursue FE, as they did for Brown’s Gas (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull), but I am not holding my breath. I expect that for the kind of effort that I envision, that only a few percent of the 100,000 will be at “ground zero” of the development effort, with perhaps hundreds of choir members. Only a few percent of the effort will be getting its hands dirty in that way, and rest will comprise a support network of heart-centered sentience. That is how I see a development effort proceeding.

It is far too early to get into specifics of exactly who, what, and where. People can sketch scenarios, but anything much more than what I sketched above is not going to be very helpful, not at this stage of the effort.

Best,

Wade

Hi Wide-eyed:

I really do not have much of an opinion on Sereda, and earlier this year I posted my stock answer to FE inventor and theoretician inquiries (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/71-My-stock-answer-to-most-FE-inquiries-about-inventors-and-current-FE-efforts?p=114&viewfull=1#post114). I really don’t pay attention to talking heads such as Sereda, and the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) approach that I see with his work is something that I am all too familiar with. I am not interested in sifting through the mountains of chaff on the fringes, especially the FE fringes, to try finding the grains of wheat. I know that the wheat exists (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but the good stuff was sequestered long ago. The entire approach of the talking heads, fringe theorists, and FE tinkerers is doomed to failure, IMO, and reflects the state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) in the field. YouTube is not the place to go poking around. It is like watching the TV news (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), thinking that it is some kind of path to the truth. I am doing something different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#why).

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I belong to several forums, and recently began a thread here (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=22527&p=320041). I made a post this morning (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=22527&p=320786) there, and the below part bears repeating.

Ho, ho, ho,

Wade


I know of nothing else like that big essay, and it has some rather unique aspects to it, such as:


It summarizes the journey of life on Earth, from the beginning to now. While books have been written on the subject, I know of nothing on the Internet like it, and heard from a world authority (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#paleo) about it.
The human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path) gets as much treatment as the non-human journey of life on Earth does.
The essay’s central focus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey?p=321&viewfull=1#post321) is the role that energy has played (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) in the journey of life on Earth and the human journey.
The crux of life’s and humanity’s journeys is the level of energy surplus that was generated (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287).
For life on Earth, there were periods of relative energy abundance (AKA “golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages)”), as either new biomes were created (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem) or were wiped clean by mass extinctions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#extinctiontable). Those golden ages always ended when energy became less plentiful, usually via rising competition for energy resources.
There were also several human golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), which were also based on the relative energy abundance of tapping a new energy resource. Humans always depleted those energy sources, and the golden ages ended after the resource was depleted and humans increasingly competed over the dwindling energy resources.
I have divided the human journey into Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), and each was based on the energy resource that powered that Epoch. The first was the tool-use and control of fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal1) that led from australopiths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#biped) to behaviorally modern humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap). The next was when those humans conquered Earth and drove all other human species to extinction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#climateneanderthal), as well as all of Earth’s easy meat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused), which fueled that Epoch. The next was domesticating plants and animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), and the most recent was tapping the energy of fossil fuels (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4).
Each Epoch began with a golden age, as the new energy resource was exploited. As the energy resource was depleted, humans began violently competing for the dwindling energy supplies, and the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) was characterized by rising (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) and collapsing civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses), as they ran out of energy.
The fossil fuel Epoch is quickly drawing to a close (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert), as those deposits are being depleted at prodigious rates (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil).
This is where my fellow travelers and I come into the picture. Our journeys had interesting similarities, and the first energy crisis in history’s richest and most powerful nation led to our pursuit of alternative energy sources (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures).
We all began our journeys rather mundanely, with us variously trying to wring more energy out of a gallon of gasoline (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), pursue insulation (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#foam) and heating systems (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new), and design an energy program that seemed to be adopted by a sitting American president (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall).
None of us suspected where our adventures would lead us, and we all began to pursue what is called “free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit)” and other terms. We not only came to know that such technology has been on the planet (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) for generations, but that and related technologies have been sequestered from public awareness and use by a global cabal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) comprised of the elites that control the world economy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc). It was no “conspiracy theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism),” but something that we discovered the truth of the hard way.
Some of us did not survive our adventures (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors), others should not have (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), and some had their lives shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack). Little did we really realize it early on, but we were pursuing the biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).


My role in this tale is summarized below.


I was trained to be a scientist almost from infancy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm), and had preposterous paranormal experiences that changed my studies from science to business (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice) and landed me in the middle of the greatest effort ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle) to bring alternative energy to the public.
I became partners with the Indiana Jones of alternative energy, and when the dust settled a few years later (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), my life was shattered and I was radicalized. I buried one of my partners, whose life was shortened (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey) due to his involvement in my adventures, and I have had more than enough adventure for one lifetime.
As I staggered out of my home town, where my life was ruined, I realized that whatever I was taught about how the world worked (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded) only bore a faint resemblance to how it really did, and I began the studies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books) that resulted in my site today.
After initially completing my site in 2002, one of Buckminster Fuller’s pupils called my work “comprehensivist” and I did not know what he meant. I then read some of Fuller’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), got the point, and my work ever since has been more consciously comprehensive.
As I look back, reading Fuller’s work began a decade of study in my “spare” time that resulted in taking a career break and writing my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm). I’ll not write its like again in this lifetime.
Since 2007, after having some keen learning experiences in writing in open forums, where trolls swarmed me (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), I decided to study with that big essay in mind, as a cornerstone of my current effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).
I have mounted my own forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/forum.php), to host a Fullerian conversation, which I think can help manifest free energy technology in the public sphere, which would usher in the Fifth Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), when humanity would enjoy a Star Trek level of energy surplus. In Kardashev’s framework, humanity would become a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev), and an unprecedented Epoch of the human journey will be here.
I have joined a few choice forums, seeking people who can join that Fullerian conversation. Together, we may help manifest the biggest event in the human journey, while simultaneously moving humanity away from the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) that we stand on today.
I have intimate experience and awareness of what has not worked (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336) for manifesting that event, and I am trying an approach never attempted before. I have been at this for more than 40 years and may have another 30 good years left in me, and have devoted the rest of my life’s “spare” time to mounting the effort that I have in mind, which should not risk anybody’s life (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852), if people heed my cautions and focus on what is important (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir).

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

This may be my last “what might work (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336)” post for now. I’ll address the idea of a safe transition to the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). That DOE proposal that Brian had me help write (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html) is about that topic. I doubted that approaching the DOE was going to go anywhere, and I was right. I had already done that (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull). Brian and I were nearly run out of town while approaching the California governor (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#governor). Dennis was run out of the USA (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) after getting the sitting president’s attention, and Brian fled to South America in fear of his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#portland), and I did not blame him. We can’t expect any Establishment institutions to help, or any other organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#beseeching1). It is just what it is.

Nearly everybody who gets past denial of FE’s possibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) has a fear reaction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), often orgiastic, imagining all that could go wrong, as Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#scarcity2). Another reason why I wondered about our DOE proposal was that I did not expect people to get past their initial denial reactions to even get to their fears. The two most common fears are using FE to strip mine the planet or wage wars. While both are certainly possible, they are not very likely, IMO. The reason is that FE makes the motivation for both activities disappear. Wars have always been rooted in scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1), while FE makes abundance happen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Why mine Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining) and harm her thin ecosphere, when the entire sterile solar system could easily be mined? I found those fears to largely be irrational projections. For people espousing such fears, I have never been able to engage even one of them in a rational conversation, and that was one of many reactions that it took me many years to understand, including via my own experiences and trading notes with people such as Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions). People really did not fear those outcomes. It was just a convenient smokescreen to mask their deeper fear: FE meant the end of the world as they knew it.

Even if Earth was mined, energy scarcity is why it is harmful today. All elements are useful, so there would be no reason for mine tailings and mining pollution, but one asteroid would meet all of humanity’s mining needs for the foreseeable future. There is the Kuiper belt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt) and Oort cloud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud), not to mention other planets and their moons. Mining Earth under those conditions would be the height of stupidity, like sticking a loaded gun in one’s mouth, just for fun. I doubt that humanity is that stupid.

That does not mean that I don’t think that we should think about, and ultimately do something about, a safe transition to the Fifth Epoch. I see the effort for a safe transition arising from work like mine. I advocate an army of peacekeeping grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping). I was recently made aware of Elon Musk’s forming an organization (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?4078-What-Might-Work&p=19147&viewfull=1#post19147) to help ensure that computers do not turn into some dystopian nightmare, Terminator-style or worse. Science fiction stories have warned about computers running amok since before I was born. Something like Musk’s effort could form for FE, but AI is child’s play compared to FE, which is why you even hear of somebody like Musk being able to do it.

We already have historical situations that demonstrated how economic plenty ended psychopathic rule and began eras of peace. It happened with bonobos and matrilineal horticultural societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=348&viewfull=1#post348), and the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) of the Industrial Revolution made for radically changes societies, which were proportionately far more peaceful. It is when energy begins running out (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#running) that it gets violent, as people fight over scarce resources, and energy resources the most of all, by far, as usual. The waning of the Golden Age of the Hunter Gatherer (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#huntergatherer) is a good example (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#violence1), or the collapse of agrarian civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycivilizations) (or the USA’s invasions of Oil Country in the Middle East (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate)). If there is a “law” of the human journey, it is that one. Why did Hitler come to power, other than the devastations of imperial wars (fighting over resources) and economic depression (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#primary)?

The FE and abundance conversation, if it is held at all, is terribly skewed, which reflects people’s addictions to scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation). Instead of 90+% of the conversation being about developing a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) and thinking about what can be (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), 99+% of the conversation is about denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). I do not seek people firmly ensconced in their egocentric, scarcity-based (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies, who react with denial and fear. They are not going to begin to understand until FE is delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), just like it was for all previous Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). I seek those (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) who can get beyond all of those fearful and unrealistic ideas. I seek needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and know it.

Best,

Here is my last pre-Christmas big post, made in another forum (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=20494&p=321167), but appropriate to this one, too.

Ho, ho, ho,

Wade

Hi:

I doubt that this will be the last JFK post that I write. Again, I am not really trying to solve the crime, and I doubt that anybody not on the inside ever will. I have made my initial interest in the JFK hit issue clear: it began with Gary Wean’s testimony (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=20494&p=319760). I am writing this because I recently finished reading David Talbot’s The Devil’s Chessboard. I also watched Douglas Caddy’s interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jKBlJQNtek) last night, and have something to say about it. I have also made the distinction clear between facts and theories (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=20494&p=319799), and Gary’s reporting of the John Tower conversation (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower) I consider fact, in that Gary described that meeting as best he could, writing about it nearly a decade later. I also have no doubt that Douglas accurately described his last conversation with E. Howard Hunt, when Hunt said that JFK was killed because he was about to reveal the “alien presence” to the Soviet Union. That is quite a nugget.

Because Gary was a cop and detective, solving the crime was his profession, and he understandably took a crack at it and fingered Jewish mobsters as the masterminds. With Gary’s dealings with Jewish gangsters (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#cohen), and particularly his encounters with Jack Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby), the direction of Gary’s theorizing is very understandable. Discerning readers will note that Jews did not come up at all in the Tower conversation, but it was all about Oswald’s military intelligence background and CIA connections regarding a fake hit on JFK that turned into a real one. IMO, the Jewish mob angle is definitely part of any conspiracy scenario, as Ruby was a Jewish mobster, who got his start as a hit man for Al Capone, if memory serves me. But I doubt that Gary had the right answer, as far as the masterminds go. However, I do think that Gary’s reporting, many years before it became common knowledge, that JFK was trying to end the Cold War (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods) and that was why he died, likely is accurate, and is related to the ET scenario that Douglas reported from Hunt.

With that preamble out of the way, here comes one of those long posts that I am notorious for. :)

Before I ordered The Devil’s Chessboard, I read a Mother Jones interview with Talbot, and the first line of the article (http://www.motherjones.com/media/2015/10/book-review-devils-chessboard-david-talbot) reminded me that even supposedly “investigative” magazines such as Mother Jones have hacks in their ranks. Mother Jones got disciplined back in the 1980s (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#cigarette), when it dared report the health issues of smoking cigarettes and promptly lost big advertising revenue. That Mother Jones even took tobacco company money back then showed how far they were from anything that one might call idealistic. Whatever inspiration it might have had was lost long ago, and reading that disparaging and semi-ridiculing prelude to the interview almost made me wonder if some CIA payola was involved. David Corn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Corn) of The Nation is of a similar bent (I trust him as far as I can throw an elephant) who also works for Mother Jones, so no big surprise to see that kind of tenor around the interview. Just reading that interview prelude made me want to get Talbot’s book. Somebody being ridiculed in that way probably has important things to say.

My CIA connections go way back, at least to college in the 1970s, when one of my college professors was ex-CIA and proud of it (http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sanluisobispo/obituary-preview.aspx?n=james-lau&pid=175120032&referrer=594), and one of our case studies in his management class was the “groupthink (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink)” that led to the Bay of Pigs fiasco. I had a close relative who was a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), who almost tried to recruit me into the family “business.” My father had to get a top secret security clearance to work in Mission Control during the Space Race (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#oleary), and he spent his entire career working for either NASA or the DOD, so “national security” is a rich part of my heritage. It was not unusual in the world that I grew up in, with my friends’ fathers working for the military establishment (MIC). The local military bases were the biggest employers in the area where I grew up, and aerospace companies were all the rage in California. Most people with scientific training in California ended up working for the MIC in some capacity. Among my fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), stories such as Mark’s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647) are not very unusual, I am sorry to report.

After my big wake up call, from my years of pursuing free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), I began to hit the books pretty hard. Gary’s account of the JFK hit was only one of many subjects (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach/page2) that I dove into in those days. I quickly encountered Chomsky (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chomsky) and the radical left (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm), read Ralph McGehee’s memoirs (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), came to understand how the media worked (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big) (after being bludgeoned by it (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913180&viewfull=1#post913180)), and read about the Dulles brothers and their shenanigans in various books in my library, and perhaps the most memorable were Christopher Simpson’s Blowback (http://www.amazon.com/Blowback-Americas-Recruitment-Disastrous-Domestic/dp/002044995X) and The Splendid Blond Beast (http://www.amazon.com/Splendid-Blond-Beast-Genocide-Twentieth/dp/1567510620/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8). I read about how Cromwell of Sullivan & Cromwell helped “invent” Panama (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#panama), in perhaps the greatest swindle of the American taxpayer to that time, and I read about how the USA overthrew the Guatemalan government (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#guatemala) at the behest of United Fruit, which the Dulles brothers literally had a financial stake in (and Ed Bernays (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays) was hired to provide the propaganda (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iran1)). I could cite many more sources from my reading materials in those days, but those are good highlights. With that background, I wondered if I would read much new in Talbot’s book, but I did glean interesting tidbits from it, which spurred me to write this post, and I will venture what I think the likely scenario behind the JFK hit was, not that it will be anything new or unusual to the scholars and serious researchers who are on this forum.

When I still directly interacted with the public, with my email address on my site, you might imagine the kinds of emails that I received, and when I began doing interviews (http://ahealedplanet.net/public.htm#interviews), it began happening again, but via my interviewers. With the protected forums that I am in (which is relative (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3653-Wade-Frazier-Energy-and-the-Human-Journey)), I don’t field the kinds of queries like I used to, but I still have had to address many questions about faking the moon landings (they happened as officially presented (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo), as far as doing it with conventional rockets), and also the JFK hit, and I have seen some doozies. One theory presented to me was that JFK faked his own assassination. Has anybody heard a crazier one than that? :)

A major theme of my work is that all of humanity is behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) and is descended from the mere several thousand members that comprised our species 60,000 years ago or so. For those of us who are not sub-Saharan Africans or their direct descendants, we may all be descended from a few hundred people who migrated past Africa (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#founderexit). We all have far more in common than we do differences, but like all social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), we tend to form in-groups (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup), and out-groups are fair game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). One of the greatest failings of conspiracists (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness) is making the elite into an out-group. For all of their failings, and they are many, even evil, elites are humans like the rest of us. What they most fear about free energy, antigravity, and related technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) coming out is the obsolescence of elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear). It really is no different from the reactions that most people have, as all they see is the end of the world as they know it, so they react with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). Those global elites ruined my life (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), but I wish them no harm. The greatest message of spiritual masters is that there really is no out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy), as we all are one (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature). Only a loving approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) is going to solve the riddle and get us over the hump.

On to The Devil’s Chessboard. One thing is for sure: putting Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission was putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Dulles was one of the primary suspects and he ran the “investigation.” Talbot opened his book with an event that was also prominent in James Douglass’s JFK and the Unspeakable, when Dulles derisively blurted out in 1965:

“That little Kennedy….he thought he was a god.”

That stunned the man who heard it. JFK fired Dulles over the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and Dulles led the investigation into JFK’s murder? To any discerning observer, the Warren Commission was compromised at the outset, and having McCloy on the commission (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#mccloy), who was oligarchy personified, was only icing on the cake.

Talbot ended his book with the late-life confession of one of Dulles’s greatest supporters, James Jesus Angleton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jesus_Angleton), who knew that he was dying as he granted interviews to journalists. Angleton said:

“Fundamentally, the founding fathers of U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted…

“Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power. I did things that, in looking back in my life, I regret. But I was part of it and loved being in it.

[speaking about Dulles and his cronies, who were the “grand masters”]…“If you were in a room with them, you were in a room full of people that you had to believe would deservedly end up in hell. I guess that I will see them there soon.”


Those were great bookends to Talbot’s effort. Talbot portrayed Dulles as somebody that most would call a psychopath. Dulles turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the Jewish Holocaust (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#toward) as it was happening, from his prominent perch in Switzerland, as he betrayed Franklin Roosevelt, the Commander in Chief. As the war ended, Dulles actively negotiated with Hitler’s henchmen and quickly rehabilitated Hitler’s biggest cheerleaders and put them right back into the positions they had while supporting Hitler (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#rehab), such as Karl Blessing. Hiring Gehlen’s organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#gehlen) was one of the most disgusting instances of realpolitik ever seen. Almost everything that Gehlen had gleaned on the Soviet Union was the result of torture and the murder of millions of POWs. Hiring Gehlen nearly led to World War III.

Dulles was such a ruthless charmer that his wife and most famous mistress dubbed him, “The Shark.” Dulles was a slick maneuverer who betrayed every president that he served, as his masters were the oligarchy, such as the Rockefellers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1). When he and his brother, John Foster, dominated the foreign policy of Eisenhower’s administration, they quickly began overthrowing governments. Overthrowing Iran’s government (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#iran1) on behalf of the oil companies, and Guatemala’s on behalf of United Fruit, which both brothers had a financial stake in, was only the 20th-century version of George Washington’s land grabs from the Indians (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint), and using American troops to do it. The USA has been a plutocratic and rapacious empire from the beginning, and the Dulles brothers were merely engaging in a time-honored tradition. There is really little need to berate them too harshly. The Dulles brothers soon graduated from “merely” overthrowing elected governments to assassinating heads of state, such as Patrice Lumumba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrice_Lumumba#United_States_involvement).

Even after being fired, Dulles was still in the driver’s seat at the CIA, and the month before JFK was murdered, the CIA helped murder the head of state of South Vietnam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_and_assassination_of_Ngo_Dinh_Diem#U.S._reaction), who was an American puppet. JKF was not in the loop for the Lumumba and Diem assassinations, and was shocked to hear about them. He soon joined them. For Dulles and company, it was but a short step to take out the USA’s head of state.

American nationalism is founded on a pack of lies (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#more) designed to form in-group cohesion, and “get ‘em while they are young (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#paradigms)” is the time-honored MO, with children being forced to worship a flag (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag) from age five onward. In scale, duration, and intensity, the USA is history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#racism). I knew that Truman and Johnson called black people “niggers” while in office, but I did not know that Eisenhower also did until reading Talbot’s book, and Ike even used the term to describe African diplomats. Eisenhower’s giving the order to Dulles to assassinate Lumumba was one of the more chilling events in Talbot’s book. Ronald Reagan also liked telling black jokes. My father did the same thing while I was growing up, so I am very familiar with that primitive mentality.

Regarding the JFK hit, I have no doubt that the CIA was somehow involved, and I doubt that it was “merely” coming up with a fake assassination attempt that turned into a real one by agents unknown. Leaving aside the John Tower conversation (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#tower), in the words of Richard Schweiker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Schweiker), who sat on the Church Committee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Schweiker#Church_Committee), everywhere that you looked at Oswald, there were the “fingerprints of intelligence.” Of particular interest to me was the Lemnitzer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_Lemnitzer) connection to Dulles, which Talbot covered in his book, as Lemnitzer was the author of the Operation Northwoods documents (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#northwoods). Operation Northwoods was eerily similar to the operation that Tower described. In my opinion, if you want to know about the operation that killed JFK, interposed or not, you need to go deep on Lemnitzer, as well as his good buddy Edwin Walker (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#walker), whom Oswald tried to “assassinate.” According to Gary, Tower said that the Walker incident was intended to give Oswald believable credentials for his upcoming “role” of shooting at JFK. That operation was in play for a long time.

As far as the Jack Ruby (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#ruby), Roscoe White, David Ferrie, etc., etc. connections were concerned, they were all low-levels players, and most of them likely had operational knowledge of the “fake assassination” ploy, and may well have been involved in “interposing” it. Such people are expendable assets in such operations. I doubt that we will ever know just who the trigger men were. As far as I am concerned, I highly doubt that Dulles was surprised in the least that JFK was taken out, and Dulles’s presence at the CIA’s “The Farm” in the days after the assassination, while JFK’s highly irregular autopsy and Oswald’s murder took place, certainly brings the suspicion that the puppet master was pulling lots of strings that weekend. I highly suspect that his being on the Warren Commission was merely more of “cleaning up” the operation.

This brings me to Douglas Caddy’s testimony. Wow, what a credible witness. He is right up there with Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm), as far as public credibility goes. I don’t know Douglas like I did Brian, but I don’t know how you can honestly impugn what he said that Hunt told him about why JFK was taken out. Others in my circle also had total credibility with me, as far as reporting their experiences, such as Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), Gary (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean), Mark (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), Mr. Professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr), Mr. Researcher (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#raid), Mr. Mentor (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse), Ralph McGehee (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm), my CIA contract agent relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), etc. If they said that they saw something, you can take that to the bank. If I was ever to publicly reveal all that my fellow travelers and I saw and were privy to, almost nobody would believe it.

What follows will have keen relevance to what Douglas reported.

What particularly charmed me, and lent a great deal of credibility to Douglas’s account, was how blithely naïve he was to what he became involved with, working for CIA front organizations without the slightest inkling that he was. That is standard in that milieu. When John Perkins reported how jealous he was of the naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#jealous) possessed by those who worked for him, unwittingly doing the dirty work of corporatism, it rang so very true. A close friend worked on a USAID project in equatorial Africa back in the 1980s, and I doubt that he ever figured out what he was really involved with. My contract-CIA-agent relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia) was recruited with the macho-patriot-James-Bond pitch, and it worked, like it does on most American men, and I doubt that he ever figured it out. However, doing that kind of dirty work entails a great deal of cognitive dissonance (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#cognitive), at least for those who are not psychopaths, and my relative drank himself to death, which is a common fate in the CIA, with Langley full of zombies (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell). Very few really figure it out, or really want to figure it out. Angleton’s confessions at his life’s end are unusual, especially that publicly. Hunt also gave life’s-end confessions, but as Douglas even stated, Hunt likely underplayed his role in the JFK hit.

When a Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) or Ralph (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon) finally had their moment of truth, as they realized the depth of the lies that they believed in, and the blood on their hands, they nearly did not survive their moment of truth. My moment of truth was far gentler, as I had my face rubbed in evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces). But everybody that I truly respected in the free energy and related fields all began their journeys naively, as a bunch of overgrown Boy Scouts (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#scouts). We all lost our naïveté (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#naive) honestly. When I told Dennis how shocking it was to see (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked) the dishonorable and criminal acts engaged in by our “allies,” he told me to join the club. That really was the primary lesson of my journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn): the enemy is us.

How does Douglas’s testimony align with my views? Very closely. Let’s put aside his Nixon days for now and focus on Hunt’s final conversation with Douglas. If you begin to play the disruptive technology game, especially the disruptive energy technology game, you enter a different dimension than almost anybody else on Earth inhabits. Dennis made the biggest run at bringing alternative energy to the American marketplace that there ever was, as he put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on people’s homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). He survived murder attempts and other outrages (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#lamco2), inflicted by his “allies,” with mobsters being involved, before he made his big run in his home state (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle), in 1984-1986, but that was just a warmup for when the electric companies got into the act (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#scam). They called in all of their favors to take Dennis’s company out, and when a corporate hit man killed one of Dennis’s employees (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm#death), Dennis had his first, but far from last, radicalizing moment in his energy journey.

After Dennis was run out of his home state with little more than the clothes on his back, I chased him out to Boston (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#chasing) to help him rebuild, and soon became his partner. We soon received the first “friendly buyout offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten)” from the people who run the world, but neither of us suspected who was behind that offer. We soon moved the effort to the town where I was raised, and quickly began flying high. The CIA delivered the “final offer (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer)” from the people who run the world. They added a couple of zeroes to the offer, before they began playing rough (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#jail). My life and the lives of many others were ruined during those events. But I rescued Dennis from a dire fate (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mortgage), in my life’s most heroic act, which led to the greatest miracle that I ever witnessed, and Gary’s advice played an important role (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#wean).

I was finished with the inventor’s/businessman’s route to free energy, but I spent the next several years (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#books) trying to understand what I had lived through. The year after I left my home town, to never return, I met Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), who was just getting his feet wet in the free energy milieu. Literally, within minutes of meeting Brian, we were driving past the front gates of the world’s biggest Air Force base, making jokes about the alien craft and ETs housed there. The next year, Brian mounted a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack), and was soon made an offer that he could not refuse, from the military, who “offered” to have him do classified UFO work. Brian nearly died immediately after refusing their “offer,” and the incident ruined his health and shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130).

Back in those days, a close colleague and friend received a little show (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground) from the people who run the world, as they demonstrated free energy, antigravity, and other mind-boggling technologies. In 1995, Brian published his first free energy book, and then undertook a journey to become the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere). I was his biggest fan in those days, and in 2001, we met in California, as he tried to interest the California governor’s energy advisers in free energy, as Enron and friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/savings.htm#enron) were in the midst of raping California. They nearly ran us out of town (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#governor), in what became a famous event. After our encounters at the capitol, Brian and I traded notes. He told me about his brush with death, in great detail, and I told him about what my friend saw, and Brian’s reply was “So he got a show from the spooks (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground).” He was more interested in my CIA-contract-agent relative than the show that my friend received. Almost all that he received during his ride as the Paul Revere of Free Energy were crazed reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and Brian began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience).

Partly because of Brian’s run-in with the military over the UFO issue, he was a prominent member of Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer). Greer eventually mounted secret Congressional hearings, which Ed Mitchell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Mitchell#Views_on_UFOs) co-chaired, and Gordon Copper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cooper#UFO_sightings) was one of the hundreds of witnesses that Greer lined up to testify. How do you impugn the credibility of Ed Mitchell and Gordon Cooper? I closely followed those events of 1997 when they happened, and when members of Greer’s team suddenly developed strange and advanced forms of cancer (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#adamiak), it was no great surprise to people on my circle. The Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) were dealing with the threat that Greer’s effort presented. Greer survived, but was never the same, but he did come to understand the ET/Free Energy connection.

My friend who received the exotic technology show does not even believe in ETs, but several years after first hearing his story, I heard some of Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses describing some of the very same technologies. The technologies are very real and many were probably developed to a commercial level before I was born. For all of Eisenhower’s dark side, such as ordering the murder of a head of state, he began to realize how out-of-control the MIC was, which led to his famous speech when he left office.

Back to Talbot’s book for a moment, a month after the JFK hit, Truman published an article that said that the CIA was an out-of-control organization, a Frankensteinian organization of cloak-and-dagger bloodshed that he never expected when he signed the legislation that founded it. Bobby Kennedy, for his part, walked into a CIA office while Jack’s body was still warm and accused the CIA of being behind Jack’s murder. In 2013, for the first time, Bobby’s children came forward and admitted that they never believed the “lone nut” story of Oswald (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#jfk), and if they do not believe the “lone nut” story about Jack’s murder, they certainly do not believe it for Bobby’s.

Douglas’s reporting of Hunt’s “alien presence” explanation for JFK’s murder neatly aligns with my views on the situation. However, I disagree with anybody who thinks that the USA was some great, beacon-on-the-hill nation before Jack was murdered. The USA has been an empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm) since its early days, and has been a plutocracy (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#jay) since its richest man became its first president (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#washington). The USA has overthrown governments since the 1800s, and eventually graduated to murdering heads of state. It was not such a big leap to take out JFK and cover it all up. In fact, it seemed to initiate a generation of assassination as policy on American political figures (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wallace) deemed expendable, including sitting presidents, with a “lone nut” scapegoat served up each time.

My view on the UFO/ET cover-up (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#big) is that it has the same motivation for preventing disruptive energy technology from making it to market: protect the position of the global elite. Free energy, antigravity, and other hoarded technologies, if they got into the public’s hands, would usher in a new Epoch of the human journey, and elites would become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and they know it. That is the real reason behind those related cover-ups. It has nothing to do with a War of the Worlds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_%28radio_drama%29#Public_reaction) reaction, which Eisenhower might have rightly feared back before I was born. Apparently, Jackie Gleason was at that UFO “open house” in the 1950s (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=395649&viewfull=1#post395649), and Gleason was following our free energy efforts just before he died, which I thought was odd at the time, but I heard about his ET involvement many years later.

In summary, I consider Douglas’s testimony to be a very interesting piece of the JFK puzzle, and it would not surprise me at all that the ET issue was the proximate reason for why JFK was taken out, but it was not the only one. The Soviets knew plenty about UFOs and ETs themselves. Jack was certainly not going to tell them anything that they did not already know or have a damned good idea about. Jack tried to end the Cold War and constantly challenged corporate America, which runs America’s imperial foreign policy. For that, JFK had to go, and every president since then has been a puppet, and he knew it. I call presidents and the entire political scene that we see in the media the “retail political system.” It is all for show, and the president’s office has no real power regarding the important issues. Brian advised several presidential candidates (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#udall), and soon before he died, he told me that electoral politics was a dead-end. Fuller called politicians “stooges (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#economic)” of the economic interests, and from what I have seen, I agree. Important change will not come through the retail political system, which is nothing more than bread and circuses.

After many years of carrying the spears of the great, including Dennis and Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), I realized that our populist approach was not going to work. I have been doing something different ever since, which they immediately realized was something different (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=918852&viewfull=1#post918852). In this forum, I have begun the kind of conversation (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=22527&p=320041) that I think can make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). We will see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On this Christmas Eve, which was the last day of Ebenezer Scrooge’s miserly ways all those years ago, I will begin another series of posts that I have already threatened to make. Back in 2002, when I first finished my site, I called the potential of what a world based on FE can look like, “What Can Be,” and the list is still largely as I first made it, here (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#can1). I have been told by those who should know that there is nothing else on Earth like that list. The chapter in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is that list, updated and expanded. With FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), all of those changes become feasible. Without FE, almost none of them are. Energy is the name of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey) in physical reality, and for life and civilizations, it is all about the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287).

I largely wrote my big essay as a prelude to that chapter, as a several hundred page warmup, to make that chapter as comprehendible as possible. In fact, my entire 2,000-page site can be considered a prelude to that chapter. Our world will truly end as we know it with the arrival of FE into the public’s hands. That idea scares most people, as they have carved out their niche of survival in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), but there is precious little to be frightened of, unless people just like living in fear. After many years on this quest, I finally accepted that almost nobody on Earth today is ready for the idea of FE, but it was like that for every Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). But they are as ready for its reality as they will ever be, and time is short to avert a global catastrophe (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). People could not imagine the new Epoch until it was here (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine), and so it will be with FE and the Super-Epoch of Abundance, for more than 99.9% of humanity. But I seek that tiny fraction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) that can, as imagining it will help manifest it, and in both mystical and practical ways. I believe that that tiny fraction exists, and that I will be able to find enough of them in the coming 30 years or so, and help train them.

For most people, the idea of FE is a theoretical exercise, even a crazy idea, but not for me. For those who have played on the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257) for long, FE’s reality is a fact (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Today, there is a lot of fringe talk about a so-called “Breakaway Civilization,” but you would not want to break away with that crew, as they are mostly psychopaths (AKA dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving)) who have taken elite games to extremes never seen before. They operate from fear, not love. Their “breakaway” plans are not going to work out like they hope. Humanity is but one puny species in a vast universe. Most of their so-called “advanced” technology came from reverse-engineering ET technologies. They are essentially thieves, not only stealing from ETs, but from their fellow humans, just like elites have always done (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear). FE in the hands of the masses means the obsolescence of the idea of elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and they know it, which is why they play their games, with organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), indoctrination into scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), etc. Those elites are stuck in arrested spiritual development, for all of their technological superiority. The day that the truth comes out, people will need to react like creators instead of victims, and own their part in this dynamic. Blaming the elites is what victims do (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and it is time to start acting like creators. We all played our part.

My game is radically different from those that ultra-elites elites play. Love will rule, not fear, if humanity turns the corner. That is the difference between those starkly different future Earths that Michael Roads visited (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions). For this series of posts, I don’t want to focus on the elites and their games, but focus on what the rest of us can have, if only a tiny fraction of us woke up to FE’s potential and pursued it. The technical problem is not that great. My understanding is that what Sparky Sweet developed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ideal) is but a hint of what has been developed in the GC’s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) hidden enclaves, and they can detect the use of FE devices, anywhere on the planet, which is one reason why FE aspirants who think that they can sneak past the GCs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7) are extremely foolish. I believe that the technical problems of safely implementing FE technology, to the users and the planet, and being able to prevent the weaponization of it, have all been accomplished. The only problem is human integrity, that scarcest of commodities (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn), both on the part of the global elites and the masses. For the following discussion, I am going to assume that those problems have been resolved and an effort to bring FE to the public was successful, which I have written extensively about, and recently (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336).

Without further preamble, here is what can be, if FE (and related technologies, such as antigravity) became part of our daily lives. I’ll try to go through it in the order that I have listed the events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), but we will see how that goes. So, let’s start.

The most immediate and visible change from using FE devices is that all combustion, and the related air pollution, will end (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#combustion). The human line has been doing it since it learned to control fire (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fire1), but those days will end. It is hard to overstate that effect alone. No more air pollution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#pollution), no more increasing the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide content (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#greenhouse), which definitely has impacts on Earth’s climate (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#globalwarming). Any needed combustion can be from burning hydrogen, which would be derived from splitting water, and becomes water again upon burning. That would have zero-environmental impact, and as will become evident as I work through this list, that FE means the end of all environmental impacts from human activities.

FE would mean unlimited amounts of pure water for all of humanity (water). Along with ending combustion, this would be one of the first orders of business. Water can be endlessly recycled with FE. A home could use the same water almost indefinitely, and whatever escaped from vapor would be easily replenished from either the oceans or bodies of water created for just that purpose.

There would never again be any mining of Earth (mining), as the entire solar system becomes mineable. One asteroid could meet almost all of humanity’s metal needs for the foreseeable future, and any “volatiles” needed for various uses, such as building space colonies, would be easily harvested from around the solar system (gas giants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_giant), Kuiper belt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt), Oort cloud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud), moons orbiting gas giants). Antigravity (or electrogravity) has been developed, along with FE. None of the distances in our solar system would present any large problems. For people fearing a strip-mined solar system, that is a nonsensical fear. One asteroid, a millionth of one percent of Jupiter’s mass, or a millionth of what is in the Oort cloud, and humanity is set for the next million years. We could go hog wild with material possessions and it would not even be noticeable, on the scale of our solar system.

That is good start for this discussion.

Time for chores and getting ready for Santa. :)

Ho, ho, ho,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I have Santa’s milk and cookies set out and recently cleaned the chimney, so all is set, and I’ll make a little post before I try to get some sleep between those visions of sugarplums and wondering what is going to be under the tree in the morning. I hope the check is for seven figures. :)

I would like to address an issue that continually rears its head. If people are able and willing to understand my work, it is nearly guaranteed that there will not be anybody else in their social circles who can or will. Those are just the numbers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), and it does no good to judge that situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). That is a lonely feeling, which I know well. If you try to connect with your social circle regarding my material, be prepared to lose your relationships with them. I have put out this warning for many years, but I regularly hear from people who gained some slight understanding of my work, tried to enlighten their social circles, and if they were lucky, they did not jeopardize their family relationships, friendships, and even their careers. I often get to hear their painful stories.

People do not need to be rocket scientists to understand my work, although scientific and scholarly literacy is a requirement (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313), but no more than it takes to understand my work. It is really not that heavy of an intellectual lift. It is far easier than a calculus or physics class, for instance, as far as the mental gymnastics go.

The problem with people’s social circles is that hardly anybody really cares enough (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) to break free from the self-serving lies they have been fed, to condition them. If people have not yet awakened (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) to the fact that they have largely been brainwashed by their conditioning, work like mine will only send them into difficult places. I have watched people go insane before my eyes, after encountering my work, such as this section (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress). It can actually be worse with the “smart,” as their brainwashing is of a much subtler kind (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) than the blatant population management ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). The “smart” have the most sophisticated and entrenched denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3) of free energy’s possibility and desirability (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), for instance. After Brian got a snootful of those denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions) reactions over several years, from some of the world’s leading minds as he played the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), he began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). I sadly understood his query.

My warnings are far from theoretical. I involved my family and friends in my free energy quest, and lost my closest relationships. I have no contact with my immediate family and many friendships ended and worse, as attacking me became a pastime. By the time that it got back to me that my mother had made a scrapbook full of the libelous newspaper clippings about us, and took it on tour to my family, friends, and investors, telling them the story of her son the criminal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492), I was no longer surprised, and it did not even hurt anymore. The last thing that I want is to hear from people about how they wrecked their relationships and careers because they just had to go proselytizing the free energy message, especially after I warned them. They just had to go find out the hard way. It is really painful to witness.

The forum that I built (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/) is partly intended as an oasis for those few who get it. One day, I hope to hear quite a song (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) come from those forum’s members, and those who are able to hear the notes, will. Those are the people that I seek. I plan for my forum to be a campfire to gather around, and we just may be able to get something going that can make a dent, but it is not going to happen via social circles.

We are social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and I understand social needs, believe me. I wanted to take my family and friends to heaven on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) with me. I have only ever wanted to help heal humanity and Earth and make living while doing it, but it not only does not pay, but if you reach any kind of success at all in playing the Big Game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), you will be risking your life. I ask that of nobody (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#pursuing).

But there are other ways that informing your social circles about your interest in free energy is hazardous. Prepare to be bombarded with all manner of tripe from the Internet, from the talking heads on YouTube to worthless articles to scam ads. I get bombarded by them by my social circles, and by people who should know better. Every time some free energy tinkerer makes an announcement that makes its way into the Internet gossip, I hear about it, multiple times. I have been given a libelous article about Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel) more than a dozen times over the years by my social circles, as an example of great writing on the free energy issue! :( I hear all the time about some new battery, for instance, or biofuels, that scientifically illiterate people think are solutions to our energy issues, because of crazed media promotion. There are mountains of chaff for every kernel of wheat in the milieu, and your social circles will want you to sift through it for them.

There are some scam free energy infomercials out there, and I regularly hear from my circles, as they want to know what I think. It is like asking me about something that they read in a tabloid. I know how desperate people can be to have meaningful conversations on the most important subject on Earth. That is why I made my forum, but the conversation has to be raised far higher than anything that I have yet seen, if it is going to make a dent. That is why I am doing what I am. The free energy field is in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested), and has been for longer than I have been alive. It is long past time for a different approach. If Bucky Fuller (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) was alive today, I would like to think that he would be doing something like I am.

In finishing, I am highly sympathetic to people who get bombarded with that stuff, and it is another good reason to not try to enlighten your social circles. :)

Ho, ho, ho,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Ho, ho, Holy Bing Crosby! Took a hike on my favorite local mountain this morning, pics attached. Somebody even made a snowman. This mountain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Mountain) was supposedly preserved, but they still log it. That one picture shows a clear cut. The don’t log the most popular parts of the mountain, but they get to the less popular parts. Sigh. Of course, logging is one more activity that ends with FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wooduse), which I will expand on soon.

Peace on Earth, goodwill to all, even Godzilla. :)

Meow:

It's December 26 here already, but since it's still December 25 in North America as far as I know, I just like to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody there! :)

This is an amazing year for me, in which I can highlight my arrival here in Project Avalon as one of my highlights of the year. I also celebrated my 25th birthday last December 23 and I actually planned to write something here, talking about the first 25 years of my life and how lucky I am to be able to get past the mental barriers that Wade talked about in terms of comprehending free energy's importance and it's relation to the world geopolitical and macroeconomic order, since Godzilla intends for the vast majority of the population to remain manipulated by those population management techniques.

But yes, I also want to wish goodwill and peace to everybody, even to you, Godzilla. :)

Meow Meow,

Serg.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Serg:

The “funny” thing about Godzilla’s population control activities is that he really does not have to work that hard at it, as the masses do almost all of his work for him. Our “allies” nearly invariably tried to steal our companies (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#shocked), when I appeared in open forums, trolls swarmed me (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll) (and only a few were professionals), and so on. The organized suppression rarely had to become overt or severe. But Godzilla is not dead or sleeping.

The indoctrination and conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded) really is not that hard to see through. Once you see through one of them (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309), the others are easier to handle. Like it or not, people around your age are probably my target audience, as Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#college), as their minds and spirits have yet to ossify into their in-group ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant).

To all:

I just finished Peter Ward’s and Joe Kirschvink’s new book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1029821&viewfull=1#post1029821), on the history of life on Earth, and am about to start on Nick Lane’s (http://www.amazon.com/The-Vital-Question-Evolution-Origins/dp/0393088812/ref=pd_sim_14_3/189-6183264-6034421?ie=UTF8&dpID=412FtSXEG2L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR105%2C160_&refRID=1QQF712KDA78XFXMZRD2), and I’ll spend the winter tweaking my big essay for them. Lots of good stuff in Ward and Kirschvink’s book, which is about the most recent findings and hypotheses regarding the journey of life on Earth. I intended my big essay to be like a college textbook, with periodic revisions. I don’t plan to update my big essay often, but for those books, I will, partly because I cite those authors a great deal, for good reason. I’ll provide an example.

Plants invented lignin and went wild with it for 100 million years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#lignin) before anything came along that could digest it. It now looks like what happened with the Great Oxygenation Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenation) of billions of years ago is that oxygenic photosynthesis (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#oxygenic) went wild for about 200 million years before aerobic respiration (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#aerobic) was invented, which could reduce those oxygen levels.  The current suspicion is that the original GOE spiked oxygen to levels several times today’s concentrations. Darwin’s original idea - that life only looks out after itself, on an organism basis - is borne out by such events. In theory, humans are a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) and can look beyond their immediate self-interest, but in today’s world, that almost never happens. If no group of humans can muster enough collective integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) to overcome humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), then we may end up going the way of dinosaurs, and soon. But I like my odds of finding several thousand like Ilie.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

With FE, another human activity that will end is exploiting Earth’s ecosystems, and the greatest of all are forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy). Every use of wood today will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wooduse) with FE. Historically, and even today, wood is mostly used for burning. About 90% of wood that entered early cities was burned (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#eroidecline). Rome had a fleet of ships that sailed the Mediterranean in search of firewood for its baths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#woodfleet). With FE, such primitive behaviors will end. The other primary use of wood is for building materials. There are vastly superior materials than wood, even leaving aside what is in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard, but because of energy scarcity, they are expensive. Wood is relatively cheap, as trees performed the task of welding atoms of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen into wood. With FE, that primitive practice will end. To those reading these words, it is easy to foresee the end of using wood to make reading material.

The other “use” for forests is to raze them and exploit their fertile soils (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#indoor) and divert sunlight that went into nourishing trees to nourishing crops instead. With FE and related technologies, that primitive practice will also end. Do you want to have your “farm” in the basement of your home that can travel to almost anywhere in our star system? No problem. With FE and attendant technologies, there will never again be a reason for exploiting the thin and delicate skin on Earth known as its ecosphere. I can see farms like the one that Roads visited (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), but it had a harmony with nature that beggars today’s imaginations. I imagine that most food in that reality was raised in artificial environments. Farms are artificial environments. Little is “natural” about them. People romanticize them, like many who romanticize caveman ways (paleo advocates), but there is nothing “natural” about them. Humanity radically changed the game like nothing else ever did.

Also, oil spills (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spills), nuclear accidents (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nukes), and other devastations of Earth and her denizens will end. Cleaning up Earth and ending destructive activities, while increasing the human standard of living by orders of magnitude, will be child’s play, if FE and attendant sequestered technologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) were available. For Brian and me (and to a degree, Dennis) (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures), what was always the most interesting outcome of FE would be the cognitive and social changes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) in the animal known as Homo sapiens. I will cover that territory in coming posts.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I am going to have a quiet day or two, but will get in a post before I go quiet. On to the social and cognitive changes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) that can come with FE and its attendant abundance. These are highly interesting areas. I doubt that I need to convince too many readers that we largely live in Orwell’s world today (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), with the USA’s permanent “war on terror (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc)” literally lifted from the pages of 1984, as if Orwell was the scriptwriter. The military racket is one of seven cartels that control the world economy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc), and is in ways the most dangerous, as they can turn Earth into a cinder. Most of the Disclosure Project (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) witnesses were military personnel, I believe. Brian’s near-fatal encounter (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) with the American military over the UFO issue (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130) neatly aligns with what informed observers think is the case. That recent reporting of E. Howard Hunt’s confession (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=355&viewfull=1#post355) on why JFK was killed is only more confirmation of what many have long suspected.

The relationship of FE to those situations is deep and profound. We are all conditioned by scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) from the cradles, and more than 99% of the population reacts with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) to the idea of FE, and I think that it is related to being addicted to their survival mechanisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation). The current paradigms are based on scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming). I hear people argue all the time that that pervasive fear is human nature, not the human condition (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=342&viewfull=1#post342). From what I have seen, I doubt that they are right.

We already have examples from our history to draw on, to show how relative economic abundance has initiated radical social changes. When their food supply doubled (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), some isolated chimps ended violent male rule and are considered a separate species today. The beginning of the Domestication Revolution was characterized by women bringing in more calories than men, their status rose, and violent male rule ended in those societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), too, as the gangs were broken up. That was a big part of the attraction of the Eastern Woodland societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive) that Europe stumbled into. The golden ages of the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), including the human journey, were all based on relative energy abundance, and for each Epoch of the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), each was unimaginable until it happened (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine). I don’t expect it to be any different this time.

The end of slavery was unimaginable (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas) until machines made that hallowed institution economically obsolete. When people tell me that humanity is incorrigible, that scarcity and fear is so deeply baked into our DNA that we will never overcome it, they remind me of Antebellum southerners banging their Bibles, justifying slavery as some God-ordained order of the universe.

What happens when everybody lives in economic abundance? When it takes almost no human effort for all of humanity to live at lifestyle levels that makes Bill Gates appear a pauper, how do you think humanity will react? And again, we have rich historical precedents to give us hints. Tapping new energy sources, and hydrocarbon fuels most of all, led to the Demographic Transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic). Women and slaves were liberated, children could expect to live to be adults, and everybody got educated (although that is relative (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bernays)). Today’s average American enjoys daily amenities that the world’s richest man of three centuries ago could not imagine. Five hundred years ago, nobody had ever circumnavigated Earth. This minute, I could take a credit card out of my wallet, with my passport, and be back at this desk a week from now, after circumnavigating Earth.

Imagine that everybody is born into a world where there is no question that their needs will be taken care of, and spectacularly. Economic desperation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#desperation) and deprivation become as obsolete as slavery. How do you think people are going to react to that? I would like to find out, and I have already lived through the hints. I am a member of history’s most privileged demographic group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar), who grew up in the most prosperous era of the human journey, and I am not complaining. I still suffered some deprivations, but they were trivial compared to what my father and his father experienced.

I think that when scarcity and fear stop being the defining parameters of human societies, a lot is going to change, and radically. Why wouldn’t it? The biggest event in the human journey is big stuff, to put it mildly, as humanity becomes a Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev). All wars have been based on scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1). What happens when there is abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping)? It can be like that saying in the 1960s, “What if they gave a war, and nobody came?”

Best,

Hi:

Well, my quiet time got canceled at the last minute. Maybe later this week. Before I get back to the themes from my visionary chapter (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), I am now reading Nick Lane’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1032538&viewfull=1#post1032538), and it is a Twilight Zone moment, for reasons that I may get to reveal one day. I actually have a real-world connection to the Lane/Ward/Kirschvink gang, which I now know was bizarrely synchronistic. The Ward/Kirschvink book was being written literally when my big essay was, and Lane’s book is explicitly the connection between energy and evolution. What a familiar theme! :) I am sure that I will be tweaking my big essay, and perhaps significantly, for Lane’s book.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Back to the cognitive and social changes that will come with FE. One important aspect of it is that many measures and concepts today, used by “progressives,” will become meaningless, such as the carbon footprint (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#footprint). That only has relevance to societies that burn hydrocarbons to get their energy. With FE, they don’t. Many ecological “footprint” ideas become meaningless under an FE paradigm. Cities will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), which I will discuss soon, so the idea of an urban footprint on the hinterland will also become obsolete. Many, many ideas and measures used today will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

As I have briefly touched on, warfare will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=359&viewfull=1#post359) in the Fifth Epoch. To this idea, a continual response that I get is that warfare and violence are hardwired, even sacred, aspects of human “nature (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=342&viewfull=1#post342),” and even deeper, such as a Young Warrior delusion (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#warriors) that warrior souls have the “right” to try out. We already have examples where violence became obsolete. Bonobos are one (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), and matrilineal societies were immensely more peaceful than patrilineal ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1). The attractions of the matrilineal Eastern Woodland societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mississippian) were obvious to European invaders, which is why they ran off and went native so much (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#captive). On the mystical front, Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael) has stated that we are on the cusp of going from the Young to Mature Soul phase (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#age3), and Mature Warriors understand the complete and self-defeating futility of violence. Violence is going to become obsolete, and soon, for both mystical and practical reasons. Humanity will finally become a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1). I have a higher opinion of humanity than those who continually argue for scarcity-based ways of being in a world of abundance. Humanity is not that stupid. When there is no incentive for violence and warfare, it will end. I still advocate those peacekeeping grandmothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), until nobody needs to be reminded anymore.

All scarcity-based ideologies are going to become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch, which means all of today’s dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). I will deal with all of them in this series of posts, and the first will be organized religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#religion). Religion has its roots in warfare (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing) and developing in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) cohesion, to prevail against the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). That is pre-sentient behavior (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1). To a degree, all organized religions are still variations of that theme. The so-called New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) is just another variation, and is really not all that forward-looking. Professional priesthoods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) all deified the elite (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity), in a Faustian deal, and elites will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), too, which I will further discuss later. Just like all of today’s institutions will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch, spirituality will look nothing like what we see today.

The message of all spiritual masters was love, and organized religion relies on scarcity and fear, just like all institutions do. The most enlightened message given to humanity was Jesus’s “there is no out-group” (AKA “love the enemy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy)”), but Christians are history’s most murderous people, and primarily responsible for humanity’s greatest demographic catastrophes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic2). As Gandhi said, Christians are so unlike their Christ. But all organized religions will crumble in the Fifth Epoch, as they will become obsolete. People are going to have their own direct connection to something higher and divine, and will not “need” professional intermediaries. To the extent that they receive “professional” spiritual help, the help will be intended to have them find their own connection, such as with a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312).

All of today’s economic ideologies will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch, especially capitalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#capitalism), which assumes greed and fear, and has even elevated greed into a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), believe it or not. As Fuller noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics), all political-economic ideologies will become obsolete, as they are all predicated on who gets the benefit of the scarce economic production, and includes communism, socialism, and all other political-economic “isms.” They are all rooted in scarcity, and will all become obsolete in a world of abundance.

I have written at length about the dominant economic ideology of the past century and more, which focused on exchange to the exclusion of production (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neoclassical). That ideology assumes that resources and production are only limited by market forces, and energy is completely ignored or just seen as another commodity, whose availability is only limited by market forces. It is one of the most delusional viewpoints extant today, especially for those advocated by the “smart.” That history’s greatest energy mogul (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rockefeller1) funded the institution that promoted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chicagoschool) that nonsensical ideology might not be a coincidence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economy3). All of today’s economic ideologies will become obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists) in the Fifth Epoch, as their seemingly invisible assumptions will be seen as meaningless.

Related to those delusional economic ideologies that are stuck in the 18th century, all exchange-related professions will become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange), and that includes accountants, lawyers, politicians, policemen, soldiers, bankers, tax collectors, and so on. Almost all of today’s industries and professions will either become obsolete or will transform into something unrecognizable today. Almost nothing that is familiar to us today will survive into the Fifth Epoch, and that is what scares people who even glimpse the reality that FE can help manifest, as they react with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). Heaven on Earth can’t look anything like what we see today, as humanity has its toes over the edge of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth).

However, I do not expect anybody, other than the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), to begin to understand what I am writing about, until FE becomes a daily reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). The masses won’t get there through talk or clever presentations, and the social circle approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) is futile and even suicidal for Epochal change. Also, nobody is going to need to be coerced into giving up organized religion, or stop seeing greed as a virtue. In light of the reality of abundance and the Fifth Epoch, people are going to easily see the worthlessness of scarcity-based ideologies and institutions in a world of abundance. They will give them up of their own accord, like a child giving up stuffed animals and believing in Santa Claus, not because anybody coerces them into giving them up. There will certainly be “stragglers,” who built their identities on greed and other games of scarcity, and other than ensuring that they don’t weaponize FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping) or use it to strip mine Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mining) (which 99.9% of humanity will easily see as insane), they can take their time in waking up to abundance.

Another aspect of abundance is that without energy abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity), none of the abundance ideas that people can find bandied about by “visionaries” today has any hope of coming to fruition. People who advocate abundance ideas in the absence of energy abundance are almost exclusively scientifically illiterate and do not understand how the world really works. Only energy produces work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave), which scientists easily understand and is also why they don’t have much respect for economists (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#realeconomy) and other social scientists with their empty theories that ignore the real world in favor of social theories.

Many scientifically illiterate “visionaries” think that cleverly reshuffling the deck of scarcity can somehow produce abundance. Only the scientifically literate truly can comprehend what abundance really means, which is why it is a prerequisite for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313). Otherwise, people get strung out on meaningless distractions, go chasing down rabbit holes and never emerge, etc. I have seen about all the ways that people can fall off the rails, and the discernment of scientists and scholars is critical to developing a truly comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing).

Coming are posts on how cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities), nations, and races (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) will disappear in the Fifth Epoch. Again, these are easily foreseeable outcomes of the Fifth Epoch, and nobody will need to be coerced to stop living in cities. Living in today’s cities will quickly be seen as like living in caves, and nations will become a meaningless idea, just ape territoriality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#territoriality) writ large, which will become completely obsolete in the Fifth Epoch. In the Fifth Epoch, humanity will be one race and have one culture and language, among other aspects, as geographic isolation will become a relic of our primitive past.

Best,

Hi:

I am covering these just a little out of order, from how I present them in my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive), but not too far off. In the USA, the three primary population control ideologies are American nationalism, capitalism, and organized religion, Christianity in particular, and the fundamentalist strains most notoriously. According to somebody who should know, the Mormon financial empire (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mormon) has been the most prominent member of the global cabal (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#cabal) that keeps FE from public awareness and use, and because of our experiences, I won’t deny it. Mormons were prominent players in the biggest efforts to wipe us out (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#theft), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)), and one of the more prominent libels of Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel) was through the biggest Mormon newspaper, which was used prominently by Dennis’s “skeptical” assailant, who was an alleged Christian himself, which was odd, in a movement comprised primarily of materialists (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends).

Not only will all of today’s political-economic ideologies become obsolete, but so will all in-groups such as those based on national identity (or ethnicity, race, gender, etc.). Nationalism will become obsolete, too. All geographic-based ideologies are merely the result of ape territoriality, to create some new kind of in-group identity so that the ruling class could reign over it. The USA’s nationalism is based on fairy tales (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems) and highly egocentric notions such as Manifest Destiny (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#steal2), as all imperial ideologies are (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ww2).

Humanity will become a space-faring Type 1 civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#kardashev) with FE and attendant technologies that are currently sequestered, such as antigravity (or electrogravity, but the demonstration given to my friend (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) seemed more like antigravity than electrogravity), and all such in-group ideologies are going to quickly be seen as primitive and nonsensical. All ideas of nationalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations) will quickly come to an end (or tribes, etc.). When so-called in-group membership (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) does not confer any economic benefits over the out-group, when everybody lives richer than Bill Gates does, people are going to begin wondering what the point is.

Geographic isolation is going to become a thing of the past, when anybody can travel throughout the solar system. Artifices such as national borders are going to be seen as quaint. Maybe a few pockets of primitives will want to keep their in-group identities, and they may even create some enclaves for themselves, but they will all be seen as cults and will have a damned hard time keeping their ranks full. They will have to imprison their members to keep them there, and that is one thing that may become illegal. I don’t see much becoming illegal, but violence, coercion, and harmful practices, to humans or Earth, will likely become illegal (as they largely are today, at least in theory). But there will not be much incentive for those practices, and they will be seen as the height of barbarity, like keeping slaves.

When geographic isolation ends, many aspects of today’s humanity will disappear, and one is race. Race is due to geographic isolation and evolution, and after only a century or so, separate races will simply disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#nations), as will mutually unintelligible languages. Already, English is the lingua franca of the Internet, something like Esperanto will make a comeback, and there will one or two universal languages that everybody will know (besides the language of math and science).

Cities arose (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer) in the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) and are based on energy scarcity. Cities are essentially huge energy-concentrating devices that will quickly become obsolete in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cities). In the Fifth Epoch, cities will simply not make sense, just like slavery did not make sense (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend) in the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4). There will still be social gatherings, as we are social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). Every human will not only be instantly connected to any other human, with communication technologies that are up a few orders of magnitude from the Internet, but when people can travel anywhere on Earth to meet, in minutes, the idea of cities is going to become obsolete. If there are any urban environments left on Earth, they will be integrated with nature in ways that are presently hard to comprehend. Manhattan Island will likely be turned back into forest.

The human idea of “work” is going to radically change. The average workday will be an hour or so (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#workday), to attain standards of living that are orders of magnitude above Bill Gates’s. People are not even going to see it as work, but how they fulfil their souls. There are not going to be any “jobs” that people hate doing, where they drug themselves morning, noon, and night to keep doing them. That will quickly be seen as a cousin to slavery, and people will marvel that their ancestors did it, just like a slave-based society is truly incomprehensible to people who live in industrialized nations.

There is much more to come, but I want to make it clear that nothing that I am presenting is wild speculation, but are fairly predictable outcomes if humanity enjoyed FE and economic abundance, on a healed planet. The vast majority of people perform their most despicable acts not because they are psychopaths, but because they think that they have no choice and have to do it to survive, as Goering noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#goering). The greatest force of evil on Earth today is the USA’s military, and it has been that way ever since it gratuitously vaporized two cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping). But in my crazed nation, our killers of women and children, by the millions (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#invading), have great honor, draped in flags (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#flag). In a world of absolute abundance, all such activities will be seen as primitive, and exceptionally so. There will no honor in violence.

But the masses won’t begin to understand until FE is a daily reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It is just what it is, and it does no good to judge those trapped in their conditioning (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1) and unwilling to budge. The choir and friends (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) are going to do the heavy lifting for this greatest of Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), but the heavy lifting has already been done for my plan to work. The hard lessons (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#howmany) have already been learned, at least by those on the leading edge. The rest does not have to be that hard (http://ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#pursuing).

Best,

Hi:

Among the changes that will likely be seen in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is the end of some very old dynamics, as they become obsolete. The Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) gave birth to many aspects of today’s world that are still with us, while others have fallen by the wayside. We still farm, pretty much the same way that we always have, with machines and chemicals added to the mix. In my great nation, which is history’s richest and most powerful, we still use peasants in farming, almost always immigrants from agrarian nations, and often illegal. We still have cities. The first elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear) appeared with the first cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer), and elites are still with us. Slavery appeared with the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) and ended with the Fourth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend). Women’s status rose for the first time in millions of years (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1) with the beginnings of domestication, but fell again when cities appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and did not rise again until industrialization’s demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), which liberated women, and the same dynamics that liberated women ended slavery.

Among the first professions was the priesthood, which eradicated the hunter-gatherer religion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) (but the “ecstatic” sects are a throwback to that old religion), and they entered into a Faustian deal with elites and deified them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#divinity). In the Fifth Epoch, elites and the priesthood will become obsolete. Elites know it well (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), which is why they have been actively preventing the Fifth Epoch from manifesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1). That deification of elites was arguably the beginning of ideological indoctrination, to help get the masses to accept elite rule. The monumental architecture of early civilizations was part of that dynamic, as a form of display (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#display1). But there was also harsh repression from elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#legitimacy), as they conquered their societies.

Elites were always economic elites above all else, and conspicuous consumption (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egyptold) has always been the hallmark of all elites, at the expense of the masses. With each Epoch, humanity became progressively less brutal. Killing strangers on sight and slaughtering one’s neighbors and taking their land were characteristic behaviors of the late Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#deathrate), once all the easy meat was gone (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#humancaused). The Third Epoch had some early golden ages (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), too, before the energy ran out (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses). Horticultural societies often became matrilineal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), and were the most peaceful preindustrial societies. The pristine civilizations also began peacefully (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacefulagriculture). But as the easy energy was depleted, which was comprised of forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) and fertile soils in early civilizations, brutality arose again, but on a larger scale than before (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warfare), as agriculture supported population densities that were orders of magnitude higher than the hunter-gather lifestyle could support. For all of the brutality of such agrarian civilizations, they were proportionately far more peaceful than hunter-gatherer bands, in which about a quarter of all people died violently.

In the Fourth Epoch, societies became more humane and things taken for granted in Fourth Epoch societies were unimaginable luxuries in Third Epoch societies. Poor Americans are fat, whereas in agrarian societies, poverty meant starvation. Other than the USA and Japan, industrial nations no longer execute people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment#Capital_punishment_by_country).

Just as cities are artifacts of energy scarcity, so are elites. If there was energy abundance, the elite games will no longer work. Also, a great deal of what is called “education” in industrialized nations is really a form of brainwashing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#education), to get the masses to accept elite rule, although it is much subtler than in the Third Epoch. Most people are not even aware of the existence of the elites that control the world economy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), or that their “education” and “information” consumption is a form of brainwashing (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#propaganda). That invisibility is advantageous for various reasons, but the masses still do the elites’ bidding. One of my stock sayings is that we do most of their work for them, as we herd ourselves. The global elite are only the most successful practitioner of their game. There are several levels of the game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), as we discovered on our adventures, and violent male gangs still rule the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gangs).

If FE makes it into public use, all of those dynamics will likely crumble. No more elites, no more gang rule, no more brainwashing. People’s horizons of awareness will no longer stop at the limit of their immediate self-interest (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#egocentric). Fear and greed will no longer be the dominant principles that societies are oriented around. When that happens, the human heart is going to be ripe for waking up in an unprecedented way (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#desperation1).

Again, these are not wild speculations, but logical outcomes of economic abundance, available to all humans. We already have plenty of examples of what came with relative economic abundance. If bonobos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) and horticultural societies could end violent male rule, why can’t modern societies? There is not much speculation in my vision, if one assumes economic abundance, which always has and always will be based on energy abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). We already have many examples of the benefits of rising standards of living, and the detriments of falling ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). The USA’s middle class during the postwar boom (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) was history’s largest and most prosperous, but it has been under siege ever since energy consumption peaked in the 1970s (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hubbert).

I am far from finished with discussing the outcomes of the Fifth Epoch, but that is all for tonight.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I have written plenty (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/85-Computers-and-me?p=292&viewfull=1#post292), I was a computer “geek” since college. The reproduction of intelligence is in its infancy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#computer). The rise of machines was the Industrial Revolution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), and harnessing new energy sources made it possible. Today, machines perform more than 99.9% of the work (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyslave) in industrial societies. I have seen American farmers, for instance, when encountering my work, dismiss FE and abundance while stating that only the sweat of their brow got anything done, as if they did that 99% of the work on their farms that their machines did, as if they did the work that the Sun did, that the plants did that captured it, etc. All that humans do is direct the energy, with their intelligence and manipulative ability. Those farmers perform almost none of the actual work that they enjoy the fruit of. I sit here in my home, typing this into my computer, and within seconds after I finish, it will be available to billions of people to read. That is mind-boggling, when you think about it. When I was in college, something as “simple” as that was beyond my wildest imaginings, and it began only 15 years after I graduated.

Computers are replacing human guidance of machines. In some cases, those intelligent machines are called robots. I was recently made aware of an effort by high-tech moguls (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?4078-What-Might-Work&p=19147&viewfull=1#post19147) to ensure that the rise of intelligent machines does not result in some Terminator-like nightmare. That is a nice idea, and maybe some good will come from it. The same should be done for FE, but nearly everybody denies not only its existence (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), but even its possibility (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) or desirability (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5).

But let’s assume that some effort, maybe mine, is successful in safely bringing FE to the public, as well as antigravity (or electrogravity), which is also in Godzilla’s Golden Hoard (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground). Immediately, applications beckon that are out of science fiction fantasies. We already have self-driving cars. The end of human-piloted vehicles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#autopilot) is coming fast. When FE and antigravity are used for space-faring vehicles, I do not expect them to be piloted by humans. There is going to be a solar-system-wide transportation system. Each craft will be self-piloted by default, by the onboard computer, directed by the human “pilots,” (“take me to the Curiosity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity_%28rover%29) museum on Mars,” for instance) but will also follow a grid that spans the solar system, with particular detail paid to travel on Earth. Think of it like the Internet, but craft instead of electric impulses will flow through it. Anybody can go anywhere they want in the solar system, quickly and easily. There are not going to be daily collisions of craft. Safety and harmlessness will always be the primary goals of any technological innovation in the Fifth Epoch. I don’t know if light speed has been attained by any of the toys in Godzilla’s possession, but ETs have it, or they can travel inter-dimensionally, such as through wormholes. They certainly did not arrive here (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2) via chemical rockets.

One of the first things that space-faring humans will do is clean up our space junk (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#spacejunk). Also, orbiting satellites like we have are artifacts of energy scarcity, as tiny and sophisticated robots are boosted into orbit by huge chemical rockets. Those kinds of satellites will quickly become obsolete. An orbiting space city will have a communications hub on it, as part of an “Internet” that spans the solar system. Few such “nodes” will be on tiny space robots. Will we have “instantaneous” subspace communications, like we see on Star Trek? I don’t know, but it will be fun to try.

Cleaning up our space junk will be one of the easiest and first tasks of sailing beyond Earth. Cleaning up the asteroid belt (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#asteroidmining1), especially of asteroids that cross Earth’s orbit, will be an early task. Any comets that come from the Kuiper belt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt) or Oort cloud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud) will be redirected or mined into nothingness, if they are going to cross Earth’s orbit. Think of those self-driving vacuum cleaners (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roomba) that we have today, and imagine an army of those patrolling the solar system, cleaning up small space rocks, down to pebble size, and they call in the heavy equipment when anything large is found. It won’t take long to have a very clean solar system, with that army continually patrolling for anything new (and, of course, it all will be connected to a “central nervous system” that will be like the Internet, so all will know where such craft, and any craft, are).

The solar system will become domesticated by humanity. There is not going to be much risk, if any, of running into space rocks. Those cleaned up space rocks can be the basis for one of Brian O’s dreams, of space colonies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#solarsystem), but they will be on a scale that Brian could not have imagined in his Princeton days (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill).

Of course, cleaning up humanity’s mess on Earth (remediate) will be among the earliest of activities, and we will never soil our nest again. Of course, we would have an active hand in regenerating Earth’s beleaguered ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#forest2).

Cleaning up our minds and bodies will also be part of the process. Out goes all the brainwashing “education (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded),” and in comes true learning. All humans will have access to live food, pure water and air, and pollution will become another relic of our primitive and egocentric past. People growing their own food (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#food) in their space-faring homes will be common enough. We may still have something that resembles farms, but they can have a harmony with nature that was glimpsed by Roads (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748). They can be underground, on Mars, or in orbit, and even around the Sun instead of Earth. The asteroid belt could become a place for orbiting civilizations. Again, with FE and attendant technologies, this all becomes child’s play to accomplish.

There will be a new paradigm of chemistry, for instance, in which FE makes enlightened chemistry (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#chemistry1) feasible. No longer will the profit motive (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#profit) be the paramount concern. With our scarcity-and-fear-based paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), where greed becomes a virtue (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#greed), we are force-fed industrial waste as “medicine,” (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fluoride) and many other evil practices (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#capitalistdistortions) abound, some of which have been surreal (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes). All of that will end in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). The dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) will no longer be in charge like they are today, because humanity will have finally awakened and become a truly sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1).

There is much more to come in this series of posts. Stay tuned.

Best,

Hi:

Social animals are social because it enhances their ability to survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason). Monkey societies are organized around a defensible food source and females and their offspring (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#rhesus1), with males patrolling the perimeter. African great apes changed that, as males became the center of social organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), and what a violent mess that is. There is no evidence of male-centric societies in the human line since then, until women’s economic contribution in horticultural societies resulted in matrilocal societies, which broke up the male gangs. Those were the most peaceful societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#natufian) until the Industrial Revolution. Chimps also accomplished it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1), when an isolated population had its food supply double when gorillas left the region, so ending violent male rule is not the sole province of humans.

Women’s status has risen, fallen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), and risen (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) again in the journey of Homo sapiens, and each Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) of the human journey had radically different social organization from the previous Epoch, and there is no reason to think that it will be different in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Hunter-gatherers had enforced egalitarianism (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason) in the Second Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2). In the Third (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3), from peaceful beginnings (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacefulagriculture) it eventually turned violent, and the appearance of cities (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sumer), professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#professions), elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitesappear), and slaves (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) characterized the Third Epoch, along with many other traits still with us.

The Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), which began as Europe raped humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sailboat2), saw more great changes in social organization. Slavery became economically obsolete and disappeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend), a new breed of elite thief appeared, called “capitalist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economists)” today, and the agrarian masses were severed from the land (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gamelaw) and became cogs in the industrial system. But the rising standards of living that industrialization afforded allowed for more radical changes in social organization. Women’s status rose once again (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic) in the demographic transition, and being broodmares for agrarian economies became obsolete, and nearly all children lived to become adults. Industrial societies are radically different from agrarian ones.

However, the primary social unit, at least since the beginnings of the Domestication Revolution, and arguably since humans became behaviorally modern (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#leap) and maybe going all the way back to Homo erectus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#homoerectus) or even Ardi’s species (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ardi), has been a mother and her offspring. Gorillas have a patriarch-harem social organization, with unrequited males constantly vying to become the new patriarch by violently unseating the current one. Chimps have a gang-style social organization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), and if human societies had their style, it would be described as psychopathic. Bonobos (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) ended psychopathic rule when their food supply doubled.

There is little reason to believe that social organization is not going to radically change in the Fifth Epoch, with probably the most radical changes of all. Elites will quickly become economically obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) and will go the way of slaves. All exchange-related professions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#exchange) will largely, if not completely, disappear. Money will become meaningless and capitalism will go the way of all scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm), in the Super-Epoch of Abundance.

What will very likely come to pass will be the end of the nuclear family (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#family), and what replaces it will be far superior. Modern women will no longer be trying to juggle five tasks at once, to run a household with children in them, while the man “does battle” in society to bring home the daily bread (if the mother is “lucky” and he is still in the household). Motherhood will no longer be a life of drudgery, and women will no longer be driven by economic desperation to make the decisions that they do, to keep a roof over the head of their children. Men will still obviously be in the picture, but they will no longer need to play the hero (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#hero), to go out and bring home the daily bread. Men will be liberated from that constraining role.

Raising healthy children – physically, mentally, and emotionally – is the greatest task that humanity can undertake, and with the unprecedented riches of the Fifth Epoch, nobody is going to grow up in privation. Dealing with physical, mental, and emotional scars will no longer drive adult humans, and they will no longer inflict them on their offspring. That vicious cycle will end. Nobody in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748) had to deal with childhood traumas, and in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115), their life was filled with trauma, from beginning to end. Which one do you want to live in? :)

There is much more to come, with this series of posts.

Best,

Hi:

I have written that organized religion as we know it will end in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). What will also end is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4): materialism. Of all the scarcity-based ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) that dominate human thought today, the most sophisticated and subtle is materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle). I have also wedded it to rationalism in my writings, calling it the rational-materialist paradigm. I have written that I am not sure that a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) is required to be able to pursue FE, at least with my approach, but everybody that I most respected in the FE milieu had a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#mystical), and they were almost all scientists or scientists-in-training, and some had global stature.

I was raised to be a scientist almost from infancy (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). I had my mystical awakening at age 16, which was in the age range for most of us, who had it in our late teens or early 20s. Brian O was an “old man” of 39, sipping his sherry (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry) in his soft berth in the Princeton physics department, when he had his mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote) while performing the same exercise that I did when I had mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#brown). It is called a “remote viewing” today. Many scientific careers were ruined by mystical awakenings, as the awakened could no longer drink the sterile Kool-Aid of materialism. Materialism is just another religion, with its dogmas, popes, inquisitions (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends), etc.

The giants of physics had worldviews that verged on the mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical), and were decidedly unimpressed with scientists who pretended that science was something other than what it was. The “skeptics” recently got a relatively tame challenge to materialism banned from TED (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=270&viewfull=1#post270), for instance, with their lies and irrationalities, which is very ironic for a movement that claims to advocate honest, rational inquiry. As far as I have seen, organized skepticism is a criminal enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel).

When you have direct personal experience, which is dramatically irrefutable, you know that the materialistic models of consciousness are false. Once you know that, the entire edifice of the rationalist-materialist paradigm begins crumbling. The scientific process (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is great thing, as are many of its findings. Materialism is a philosophical stance, not a scientific one, and when materialism and science get confused, it is often purposeful, as the scientific enterprise gets turned into a religion, similar to how professional priesthoods (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dancing1) created the first religious rackets.

While White Science has adopted a materialist stance on many issues, Black Science knows better (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#consciousness2). Black Science has also verged into what might be called “Black Magic” at times, as it has been used for evil ends.

If and when FE and related technologies come into public view from the dark recesses where they have been sequestered (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), today’s physics textbooks are going to make great doorstops. :) What may well come with that event is open acknowledgement of the ET presence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), as at least some of those technologies were developed from reverse-engineering ET technologies. If those ETs are humanoid, as has been reported, the story of the evolutionary journey that led to humans (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#path) is going to be radically overhauled. Those would be big days of revelation. I doubt that much, if any, materialistic thought would survive those events. Much else will fly out the window, too, but the end of materialism is going to be a great breath of fresh air.

The greatest physicists (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#real) thought that dogma was the enemy, in science or religion, and when the Fifth Epoch begins, there will be great opportunity for the pursuit of enlightenment, greater than humanity has yet seen, and the spiritual practices of the Fifth Epoch will look nothing like today’s organized religion. What is called the New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage) today is but a faint and distorted hint of what that can look like.

Best,

Hi:

This post will wrap up this series on what the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) can be like. The end of economic desperation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#desperation) will change many aspects of human societies and the human animal. Today, people drug themselves (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#food) to enjoy a brief escape from their misery, from the poorest to richest nations. That practice will largely, if not completely, end. The medical establishment as we know it today will disappear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#capitalistdistortions), just like all the other rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#gc). Being healthy will be the goal, not diagnosing and treating disease. Almost all diseases will disappear and true prevention will be practiced (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm1), not the lucrative and violent interventions that masquerade as it, which we see today.

Bellicosity has been getting culled from the human gene pool (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#culled), and I expect it to largely disappear in the Fifth Epoch. There won’t be any reason for it. Our chimp days (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary) are behind us. Fear will no longer be the primary operating principle of humanity (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#fearenemy). Love will. The dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) (AKA “very organized crime”) have had something to say about it, but their continued reign will result in Earth’s destruction (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth), and the saner members of their cabal know it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mars). They can no longer sit in the driver’s seat, but we all enabled them, in our blindly egocentric pursuits. Making them into another out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1) is the path of delusion. They represent aspects of all of us, and have to be lovingly dethroned. But they can’t be the effort’s focus (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus). Their coming obsolescence (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) will be a mere side-effect, and some will even like living in heaven on Earth.

These visions that I have presented (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=356&viewfull=1#post356) are far from the only positive ones being presented (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions), but with FE and economic abundance, I consider the visions that I have presented to range from quite probable to highly likely. But without FE, almost none of them are feasible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). The golden ages of the human past and the journey of life on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages) all rode on relative energy abundance. Humanity’s social changes were a result of the economic changes, which depended on the energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus?p=287&viewfull=1#post287). It has always been this way and likely always will. We can’t cleverly reshuffle the deck of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#politics) and achieve abundance. The world does not work that way and never has. That was the primary reason behind my big essay. We have to have some understanding of how our world works if we want to consciously change it.

For the previous Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), they were all stumbled into, in one way or another, with nobody, not even the inventors, having the slightest inkling (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) what those innovations would lead to. Those days are over. The Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) have a very good idea what FE means, and have been actively presenting its manifestation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) in the public sphere for longer than I have been alive, but there also have been many levels of that game (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1). No need to “credit” the Big Boys with all of the organized suppression. Thousands of inventors have stumbled into FE technology, but really had no idea what they stumbled into, as they marched into the lion’s den (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) like lambs to the slaughter. As with all Epochs, the masses react with denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) if FE is even mentioned, and the few who don’t quickly get carried away, announcing that they are the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah1), plan to become the Bill Gates of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level11), think that the Global Controllers don’t exist (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level6) or can be snuck past (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7), can be exposed or defeated in battle (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), can get run over by a populist stampede (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), etc. I have seen it all. What those approaches all have in common is fear. Only a loving approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) has a prayer, IMO. But love is not enough; it has to be wedded with sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) and wisdom, which comes from worldliness. That is the point of my work.

The primary lesson of my harsh journey was that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) (which I resisted every step of the way), as people live in fear, with their awareness rarely extending past their immediate self-interest. It is just what it is, and it does no good judge the sleeping (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1), living their egocentric nightmares. I know that my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will work, if I can find enough people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307). That will be the hard part, as well as building something self-sustaining before the Global Controllers decide that if they take me out, then the threat is averted. Those people are going to be needles in haystacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but they are the only people who can give an effort like mine a chance of success.

The visions in this series of posts comprise stars to steer by, not only so that people understand what is feasible with FE and related technologies, but why. I am taking what might be called Bucky Fuller’s approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), of developing comprehensive perspectives (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) so that people can truly understand what abundance means (http://ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#abundance). In our world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), comprehending abundance, much less keeping a vision of it high in our awareness (http://ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm#thinkable), is no easy trick. If those in the choir can keep their eye on the ball and refrain from being sucked into the million distractions and dead ends that beckon, we just might be able to make a dent (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=256&viewfull=1#post256). :)

Hi:

I have been in JFK land (http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=20494&p=321931) recently, am in the middle of Nick Lane’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1032538&viewfull=1#post1032538) (superb, as usual), and am going to be very busy over the next several days, but today was a day of play, attached. It was a winter wonderland on my favorite local mountain, and a hiking bud and I owned it all the way up. We hit the snow fairly early on, and it got two-feet deep in spots, but was generally “only” about a foot deep. It was one of those “This is why I live here” days. Hiking on snow can take it out of you, but it was trail that had been packed down by hikers, and we had traction gear, so it was delightful.

After this week, I am going to be chained to my desk until spring, so will likely have a fairly quiet winter of posting. I plan to plunk along on version 1.3 of the big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) over the winter, in my “spare” time, updating it for the places where recent reading has taken me, especially those Ward/Kirschvink/Lane books. No major revisions, just tweaks. Energy is still the name of the game, and Lane’s book gets explicit on that issue on early life on Earth. If people are not practicing scientists, I would recommend something like my big essay before tackling those works. Those scientists are writing for the popular audience, but it is not easy stuff, conceptually. It seems that Lane expects that his audience is somewhat familiar with chemistry.

Because I am a one-man show, with a little help from my friends (and sometimes more than a little :) ), I need to get the material as good as I can make it in these early stages, before I seek a larger audience more actively. Again, I expect that building the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) will be a long, slow process. The biggest event in the human journey will not happen overnight.

Best,

Wade

I just want to say Happy New Year to everyone. May you all have a great 2016! May our planet have a great 2016! May we see something truly wonderful, and you all know what I mean. :) It's 11pm now here approaching the New Year so I just want to greet everybody now.

By the way, Wade, did you already saw the new Star Wars film? What do you think? I am actually not surprised at all that George Lucas ended up almost regretting the fact that he sold his rights to the franchise and everything to Disney. His interview with Charlie Rose is very revealing. He liked it but he doesn't love it. That's the way I see it. The movie is great, in a way, and I've watched it twice and I am going to watch it again. I like it... but I am also still on a hang-over on the previous Expanded Universe (EU) material that the Disney just scrapped for money making purposes in terms of not wanting to pay royalties to EU creators for their characters and concepts to be adapted for the sequels. That's the speculation why. I just love the characters there like Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, the Solo twins, etc. The Old Republic material too. They are not going to adapt them. The old cannon is now just "Legends". It's over. And Disney didn't adopt Lucas' script for the movie. I'm not sure if it's for the better or for the worse but seems to be more of the latter since George Lucas' script seems close to the EU storylines. I don't like everything from the EU but I like parts of it, and popular parts of it from die hard fans. It's just money making. Disney is going to milk as much as it can from the franchise.

I'm not that familiar with Star Trek but I heard that Disney or JJ Abrams kind of "reset" the storyline based on the latest movie? That's kind of terrible... I don't know. Well, I'll stop and I just want to say Happy New Year to you Wade and your family. Stay safe.

Happy 2016 to everyone! :)

Meow Meow,

Serg.

[Wade Frazier]

To all: Happy 2016.

I am sure that it will be an “interesting” year.

Hi Serg:

As you know, I was a movie junkie when young (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=913701&viewfull=1#post913701), and saw Star Wars nine times in the theater, only exceeded by Raiders. I saw the new Star Wars the other day, only because I saw the rave reviews. I can barely remember the second trilogy, it was so unremarkable.

What Abrams got right about this one is keeping the corny cartoonish air that the original Star Wars had. That naïve earnestness is charming (“It was the right thing to do!” :) ). As I have written (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1002162&viewfull=1#post1002162), I am a much bigger fan of Star Trek, as it is more about the human potential. You don’t see me citing Star Wars in visions of the future (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#visions). :) So, I was never into the extended Star Wars universe, and really don’t know anything about it, but I’ll agree that when the “suits” get involved, they wreck the creative potential. That game of getting out of paying royalties is common in all entertainment. Few inventors ever make any money off of their patents (much less FE patents (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patent)). It is a game that only big corporations can play.

Yes, the new Star Trek movies are more like space opera than the kind of idealistic journey of exploration in the TV shows. The Star Trek TV shows, especially TNG, were about reaching the human potential, and as such, represent about the best that ever came from Hollywood. Not many shows really ever did that.

As I have written plenty, I did not “get” fiction until my father handed me The Hobbit when I was 14 (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). I have been a science fiction and fantasy junkie ever since, and reward hard writing on Wade’s World with fantasy, often of the epic kind. It helps keep my imagination limber. I used to read Lord of the Rings every five years, but have not read it for many years. One day, I will again. Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time) series was extraordinary, at least for the first six books, and is what I have read the most of over the past 25 years. Those first six books have been regular bedtime companions. Arguably the best epic fantasy in the past generation has been Robin Hobb’s work, and Fitz and the Fool are some of the greatest characters of any genre. That the author is a woman is likely no accident, as she avoids the Boy’s Club stuff that plagues epic fantasy, even though her primary characters are men. Raymond Feist’s early work was exceptional, and Brandon Sanderson is the hot new kid on the block. My wife is big into Game of Thrones, so we watch the series and read the books, but like a bunch of series that I have read, I would not specifically recommend it.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I have written, my work hurricane begins now, and I will likely be pretty quiet until spring, with my main writing task over the winter being tweaking my big essay for my reading during the past year, especially the recent Ward, Kirschvink, and Lane books (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1032538&viewfull=1#post1032538). I intended my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) to be like a college textbook, which will be revised periodically for new findings, like all science textbooks are. I doubt that I will update the rest of my site much (that 2014 re-edit of my site, to align it with my big essay, I will likely not do again), but the big essay will be updated until I can’t do it anymore or we get to use FE in our daily lives. :)

The big essay covers such vast territory that there will always be material to update, but the basic theme, of the central role of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), I don’t expect to change. In fact, what I have noticed in recent years is that science and scholarship has increasingly focused on the energy issue, as Lane’s latest book does.

The issue of civilization collapses and running out of energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses) has really only become a scholarly theme in the past generation, and seeing scientists and scholars focusing on energy being the basis of economics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil1) has also been wonderful to see, and way overdue. I did not entirely invent my Epochal Event (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable) framework, but I did invent the Second (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal2) and Fifth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) Epochs (and my framework is significantly different from others I have seen, in ways (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine)), and the day that an enlightened, worldly, and comprehensive, Fuller-ish (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller) discussion of the Fifth Epoch is mounted anywhere in cyberspace, my work will be finished (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). I intend it to begin in my forum (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/), as my recruits begin hitting the notes (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), but I don’t expect it to stop there.

Because my effort is mostly a one-man show for now, I need to get the material as good as I can get it, before I try to expand my audience much. It is far more about the notes, not the numbers, especially at this stage of the game.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

“Going quiet,” as I wrote, is relative, for me. :) A few themes have been rolling around in my head lately, and one is a subject of recent conversations with a pal who first heard of FE from me. I have been doing this for so many years that I only talk about my life’s work with people who already know me, and I probably have done it more in my professional life than anyplace else, as far as with “new” people, as I spend most of my waking hours there. I sure don’t walk the halls, spouting Wade’s World tales, but I am a respected professional, and the people I talk to in professional settings are already acquainted with my professional abilities, so they know that I am not crazy. But I definitely choose my spots.

If a person hears of FE and gets past denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1), fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), lazy acceptance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4), or a feeling of hopelessness (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level8) (when the obstacles are considered (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches)), they almost always talk about it with their social circles, which is normal. If they talk with their social circles, just in an inquiring way, not as an advocate, but just asking their social circles if they heard of FE, most people will not have really heard of it at all, but those who have will almost always have denial and fear reactions, and those who first hear of FE also react with denial and fear. People will rarely react positively.

If FE newcomers approach their social circles as an advocate of FE, they should be prepared to be ostracized. The reactions can be quite violent. I have watched friendships end, family relationships get strained and even end, and careers have ended when people proselytized to their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle). The fraction of humanity that will react positively and in a somewhat enlightened manner to the idea of FE is less than one-in-a-thousand. Those are just the numbers, and it does no good to judge the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). Since humans can only manage social circles of 250 people or so, the odds of FE advocates finding fellow travelers in their social circles are small. If such people are lucky, they will find one or two who will react productively, but they should also be prepared to lose many times more relationships if they go “fishing” in their social circles that way.

My best students always proselytize to their social circles, even after being warned, as they had to find out for themselves. I always get to hear their stories, but the best of them do not stop there and return sobered up from their initial enthusiasm. Brian O banged on the biggest doors on Earth for five years, playing the Paul Revere of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), before I got to hear from him how it went (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), and he began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience). There is no social circle, no organization not already devoted to the issue, no gathering on Earth that is going to react in anything approaching a positive and enlightened manner to the idea of FE. It took me many years to understand what we were seeing, and I eventually concluded that people were addicted to their survival mechanisms in a world of scarcity (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), and FE and abundance meant the end of the world as they knew it (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). Even the least intelligent of them began to understand that pretty quickly, and it scared them. Their niche in a world of scarcity and fear would vanish with FE and abundance, and they could never see beyond losing their niche, not what that world beyond scarcity and fear could look like.

I will end this post with an observation on the more sophisticated denial reactions (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), which usually come from scientists, academics, and the “smart.” The most common are the “laws of physics” objection and the denial of organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory.” They are often accompanied by an outright fear that with FE, humanity would quickly destroy Earth via warfare or strip mining it. I recently dealt with the warfare and strip mining objection (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=354&viewfull=1#post354), I am living evidence of the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#make), as are my fellow travelers – there is no theory to those “conspiracies,” as far as their existence, but who, why, and how are open to debate. I have seen and experienced (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) way too much of it, so I know how real it is, and am decidedly unimpressed with expressions of denial of that reality. But I want to deal a little with the “laws of physics” objection in this post.

As Brian O (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) often said, there are no “laws” of physics, only theories. When anybody says “laws of physics,” they are portraying a body of theory as some absolute fact, which is similar to religious dogma (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#quasi). Science is ideally about doubt, not faith, and that quasi-certitude term “law” really has no place in science, or it has a very limited application that has been greatly abused by people as a knee-jerk response to the unfamiliar. As Einstein said, every theory is killed by a fact. A cousin to the “laws of physics” objection is to try to make reports of FE fit into orthodox physics concepts, or else declare them invalid. Many of the greatest breakthroughs in science and technology had the inventions and data predate the theories that described how they worked.

The steam engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#steamengine1) was invented more than a century before thermodynamic theory was developed (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#carnot) to state how it worked. The Wright brothers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wright) were flying for five years while the scientific establishment ignored and ridiculed them, and even stated that heavier than air-flight was “impossible” (and Brian said that the climate in the scientific establishment is worse today than a century ago). The anomaly of the Michelson-Morley experiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment) predated Einstein’s special theory of relativity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment#Special_relativity) by a generation. Inventions and experiments have regularly gone far past the day’s prevailing theories, and the steam engine, powered flight, and relativity theory posed no immediate threat to economic empires, while FE technology will make all of them obsolete (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear), and the global elite know it.

I have been directly involved with technologies that are still declared “impossible” (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#impossible) by people, especially scientists and the technically trained, even when the data has been robust and decades old, and I have looked into others. When people invoke the “laws of physics” to deny FE’s possibility, they are ignorant of the history of science and technology, and when they dismiss organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory,” they are ignorant of how the world really works, and prefer their ideological stances (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion) over reality.

What my friend was shown blew his mind, but it was no big deal to Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), or would be to my fellow travelers who traveled the high road (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257). When the “laws of physics” objection is leveled against FE, such responses are ignorant of what one of Einstein’s protégés theorized (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#zpf1), for instance. The “laws of physics” objection is ludicrous.

What all such objections essentially state is this: “When you can deliver an FE device into my hands, I will believe in its existence.” It is normal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#awaken) and Machiavelli remarked on it (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli). Such people need to be left alone until FE can be delivered into their lives. They are not going to wake up before then (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and that is normal.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As the new year begins and I am about to get relatively quiet, I would like to reflect a little on my approach, what I hope to accomplish, and the people I seek.

I am 57 today and have been on my energy quest since I was 16, when my first professional mentor’s engine (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse) began making waves. If I am fortunate, I will have another 30 good years or so in me, to continue along this path. I was trained to be a scientist almost from the time I could walk (http://ahealedplanet.net/paths.htm#bookworm). I had my mystical (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) and cultural (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#europe) awakenings when I was 16, which led to a paranormal event when I was 19 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice), which changed my studies from science to business. Eight mostly frustrating (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928) years later, another paranormal event (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice2) landed me in the middle of the greatest effort ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seattle) to bring alternative energy to the marketplace. I came to realize that my fellow travelers had similar preposterous events during their journeys, from voices in their heads (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice) to remote viewings (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote) to mystical awakenings (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) that led to inventing FE prototypes (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=811647&viewfull=1#post811647), and other events that were far larger than life. Such experiences can give people a keen sense of purpose.

Very few from the public can believe that such events happened, but when you live them, you know. Even I sometimes look back on the events of my life and wonder if they really happened, so the public’s denial is quite understandable. Virtually all of my fellow travelers had such awakening events, were usually scientists or scientists in training, and we all discovered the hard way how the world really works. Those awakening events were not easy to survive (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), and most of my fellow travelers are either dead or “retired,” often due to the organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), which was regularly fatal (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#deadinventors).

The proportion of the population that can even comprehend that milieu is vanishingly small, as people cling to their favorite ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which our experiences blow out of the water. Sometimes my fellow travelers would give up and seek the nearest rocking chair, but the best of them kept going until the end of their lives.

The list of failed approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that I compiled is not theory or rumor, but what my fellow travelers and I experienced. We have twisted that Rubik’s Cube every way that we could think of. It was from decades of trying and witnessing failed approaches, and trading notes with my fellow travelers, that I arrived at my current approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). Nobody has ever tried it before, and very few people have any comprehension of what I am attempting. With numbing regularity, people approach me, dragging the baggage of their scarcity-based frameworks, thinking that they have the key missing ingredient. Without exception, they are variants of those failed approaches. The free energy field has been in a state of arrested development (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#arrested) for longer than I have been alive, very few in the field today have the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/52-Helpful-Prerequisites-for-Forum-Participation?p=69&viewfull=1#post69), and I no longer have anything to do with the field, nor do I want to.

I recently made a series of posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) on what those with the right stuff for this task have in common, made some posts on what has not worked and why (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336), and why my approach just might help (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=345&viewfull=1#post345). If anything, it won’t hurt, as it seeks to mount a comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), arguably enlightened (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) effort, which will not be very susceptible to humanity’s inertia and the organized suppression. However, it will be a long, slow journey, even while humanity stands on the brink of the abyss (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth). Impatience is my Achilles heel (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading), and this approach has been teaching me patience, in the face of mounting desperation, as my great nation is on the brink of igniting World War III (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), if it has not already begun.

I am approached all the time by people who want to try this and that, want to drag in their pet ideologies, proclivities, and bright ideas, and when I inform them that they need to leave them at the door, they almost always disappear. Some may return, and I will be here when they do.

I wrote just yesterday (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page2?p=369&viewfull=1#post369) that my best pupils invariably try out the idea of free energy with their social circles, even when I warn them to be cautious, but they have to go find out for themselves, and that is OK. If they were lucky, they were not ostracized, and pretty much all of them tell me how they wrecked some relationships (with family, friends, and colleagues), became pariahs in certain circles, and so on. But they came back to me, sobered up from their initial enthusiasm, were more willing to learn, and realized that I was not making it up.

Energy has always been the name of the game on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/87-Key-energy-events-in-the-journey-of-life-on-Earth-including-the-human-journey), and the generation of an energy surplus (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/84-Energy-surplus) has always been the key measure of the viability of organisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus), species, ecosystems (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#prehuman), and civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#earlycollapses). The last days of the Hydrocarbon Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil) are upon us, and history’s richest and most powerful nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#postwar) has been declining ever since its energy consumption peaked (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#industrialdecline). If we don’t transition to an abundant and harmless energy source, and soon, it may well be Game Over for humanity, and we might take most of Earth’s complex life with us.

Lockheed’s recent announcement of commercial fusion (http://www.technologyreview.com/news/531836/does-lockheed-martin-really-have-a-breakthrough-fusion-machine/) is an attempt by the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) to have their cake and eat it too, so that the new energy source will still be subjected to capitalist constraints. I can live with that, but I know that technology exists (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground) today that makes such technologies seem like a campfire. The Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will put an end to elites (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) and they know it, which is why they have been so active in keeping such technologies suppressed and sequestered.

People might say that I am attempting to wreck the elite game, and they would be right, but I wish those elites no harm. Some of them will even like living in something that resembles heaven on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=356&viewfull=1#post356), but their days of being “in charge” are swiftly coming to an end.

Peace on Earth, goodwill to all,

Wade

Hi:

Before I tackle some more chores, a brief post…

I seek to wreck the elite game, but I also seek to end the game that their slaves play, which is the mass of humanity. Both sides play the scarcity, fear, and survival game. It is baked into our paradigms (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming), and neither side is willing to let go. But it was like this before all Epochal Events (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable), when nobody could imagine anything different (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) from what was familiar to them. The elites cannot be the focus of an effort like mine (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus), and neither can the masses (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10). Neither group has what it takes to make it happen. The global elite are committed to preventing the next Epoch from manifesting (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1), as it means Game Over for them (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#elitedisappear) and they know it, and the masses oblige them, with perspectives that rarely extend beyond their immediate self-interest.

For their part, the masses are addicted to their survival mechanisms (http://ahealedplanet.net/hooked.htm#misinformation), which include their favorite ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), and that includes the so-called smart (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle). The problem is primarily one of the heart, not the head. Humanity’s social changes have always been a result of their economic reality, not a cause. Slavery appeared (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning) with the Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) because it made economic sense, and it ended as a hallowed institution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaveryend) in the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4), when it no longer made economic sense, not from some bout of conscience out of the blue. The social approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) has never worked, and never will work, for Epochal change.

Warfare has always had an underlying economic rationale (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#warreason1). Warfare as a way of life will end when it no longer makes any economic sense (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacekeeping), and that will only happen when scarcity ends (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5). I have written that humanity will become largely, if not exclusively, vegetarian in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5), and will no longer rape Earth’s ecosystems, because humanity will no longer “need” to, in order to live comfortably. Eating animals will be seen as a close cousin to cannibalism (http://ahealedplanet.net/veggie.htm#symbiosis), and razing forests (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#treesenergy) will be seen as incredibly primitive and barbaric, in the Fifth Epoch, as ethical and aesthetic standards leap upwards by orders of magnitude.

But don’t expect the masses to even begin to raise their awareness and ethics to those levels until economic abundance makes it feasible (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink), and don’t expect the elites to willingly give up their games of power and control. Their addiction is arguably the most entrenched on Earth, as the addictions of the masses pale in comparison.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I finished Nick Lane’s latest book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1032538&viewfull=1#post1032538) today. He is always worth reading, and he is held in high regard amongst scientists (Peter Ward gave him a specific accolade in his latest (http://www.amazon.com/New-History-Life-Discoveries-Evolution/dp/160819907X)). I’ll be digesting Lane’s book for some time, before I update my big essay for the past year’s reading. The book’s most trenchant statement is at the end, “Incorporating energy into evolution is long overdue…” I have found this idea in recent work on economics (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil1) and the collapse of civilizations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#collapse1), and energy’s role has also been underplayed in biology (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energysurplus). Energy is the ballgame (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents), but on many fronts, even scientific, it has been underplayed, even to the point of invisibility, such as in neoclassical economic theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#neoclassical). I have to wonder how conspiratorial that situation has been (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#economy3).

I can only hope that my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) is only slightly ahead of its time. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This barrage of posts is coming to a screeching halt, and soon. :)

There are times when I sit back and wonder about what I am doing, how I got here, etc. If I look at my site as it stands today, I can see how I was groping toward what it became back when I began hitting the books in 1990 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/77-What-I-learned-and-how-I-learned-it?p=145&viewfull=1#post145), after my life was shattered (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) and I was radicalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#offers). But it was by no means a straightforward process. I now know that I was a comprehensivist-in-training, but I did not even know what that meant until after finishing the 2002 version of my site, which is still the site’s meat today (everything from here (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#personal) down was part of that 2002 version, and some above it, such as the introductory (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm) and visionary (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm) essays), and one of Bucky Fuller’s pupils had me read some of Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and the lightbulb finally went on. My work has been more consciously comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) ever since, and I can look back at those early essays and see what I was struggling toward. I did not need to revise them much during my 2014 editorial process, to get them aligned with my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm).

What I was doing, which I could not have articulated back in 2002, was deflating all of the in-group ideologies that I had been imbued with. You don’t see me take on organized religion, mainly because I was not really raised with it, thankfully. Also, it is a Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) ideology that is increasingly irrelevant in Fourth Epoch societies, and I was more concerned with deflating the Fourth Epoch ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Materialism is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=366&viewfull=1#post366).

Today, I can see what I was heading toward, by deflating all of the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies, which always justify ill treatment of the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). The most enlightened message to humanity was given by Jesus most famously: there is no out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy). That is what I was aiming toward, in a kind of backdoor way, by deflating all of the in-group ideologies of my culture. If we can begin to see all of humanity, all life on Earth, even all of Creation (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature), as our in-group, we are on our way to enlightenment, IMO. Even the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are one of us, as much as conspiracists hate to admit it (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), as much as structuralists (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) continue to deny their existence (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion).

Anthropologists have said that if there has truly been any social “progress” in humanity during the human journey, it has been a continual expansion of people’s in-groups.

A major goal of my work is for those in the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to relinquish all in-group ideologies, or actively work on shedding them. Another key goal is for the choir to gain a comprehensive understanding of the central role that energy has always played on Earth, and especially how each energy source the humanity has tapped has formed the foundation of each of humanity’s Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). It takes some scientific literacy to understand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313).

Hi:

This barrage of posts is coming to a screeching halt, and soon. :)

There are times when I sit back and wonder about what I am doing, how I got here, etc. If I look at my site as it stands today, I can see how I was groping toward what it became back when I began hitting the books in 1990 (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/77-What-I-learned-and-how-I-learned-it?p=145&viewfull=1#post145), after my life was shattered (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting) and I was radicalized (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#offers). But it was by no means a straightforward process. I now know that I was a comprehensivist-in-training, but I did not even know what that meant until after finishing the 2002 version of my site, which is still the site’s meat today (everything from here (http://ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#personal) down was part of that 2002 version, and some above it, such as the introductory (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm) and visionary (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm) essays), and one of Bucky Fuller’s pupils had me read some of Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller), and the lightbulb finally went on. My work has been more consciously comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) ever since, and I can look back at those early essays and see what I was struggling toward. I did not need to revise them much during my 2014 editorial process, to get them aligned with my big essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm).

What I was doing, which I could not have articulated back in 2002, was deflating all of the in-group ideologies that I had been imbued with. You don’t see me take on organized religion, mainly because I was not really raised with it, thankfully. Also, it is a Third Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal3) ideology that is increasingly irrelevant in Fourth Epoch societies, and I was more concerned with deflating the Fourth Epoch ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant). Materialism is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=366&viewfull=1#post366).

Today, I can see what I was heading toward, by deflating all of the in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies, which always justify ill treatment of the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). The most enlightened message to humanity was given by Jesus most famously: there is no out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#enemy). That is what I was aiming toward, in a kind of backdoor way, by deflating all of the in-group ideologies of my culture. If we can begin to see all of humanity, all life on Earth, even all of Creation (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature), as our in-group, we are on our way to enlightenment, IMO. Even the Global Controllers (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) are one of us, as much as conspiracists hate to admit it (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), as much as structuralists (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) continue to deny their existence (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion).

Anthropologists have said that if there has truly been any social “progress” in humanity during the human journey, it has been a continual expansion of people’s in-groups.

A major goal of my work is for those in the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) to relinquish all in-group ideologies, or actively work on shedding them. Another key goal is for the choir to gain a comprehensive understanding of the central role that energy has always played on Earth, and especially how each energy source the humanity has tapped has formed the foundation of each of humanity’s Epochs (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). It takes some scientific literacy to understand (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313). I wrote my big essay for laypeople (I am one myself), and doubt that people need to be professional scientists to understand. When that comprehensive, energy-centric (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#energyevents) perspective is developed, people can focus on what is important, and be immune from the million distractions that beckon in today’s world.

Then, the combined positive intention (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gcfocus) of people with the right stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) just might be able to make a dent. That is really what I am doing, but it took decades of trial and error (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures) for me to come up with my approach. There are plenty of other approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/45-Chapter-28-What-Has-Not-Worked-So-Far-and-What-Might?p=336&viewfull=1#post336), but nobody has tried mine yet that I know of, and we will see how it goes.

I identify totally with what you say here, Wade.
Like you, I believe I have been in training for that comprehensive
viewpoint, but my obsessive type of thinking has directed me more towards communicating it in slogan form.
Or pictures.
Finding that punchy one-liner that says it all.

My fashion career came to a grinding halt when I had my awakening in 1977,
as I could no longer be a servant/slave dress maker for the elite.
My former heroes like Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld have been replaced by the system reformer or system designer Baha'u'llah, and later, after seeing that his efforts were derailed, by the Brian O'Learys and Wade Fraziers of this world.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Ulli:

I think that awakening can happen in any walk of life. Some are easier than others, and working for the elite can be a very good way to come to an understanding. Playing the fashion game was like being a house slave, and there are definitely incentives to stay asleep, as the perks for playing along are many, so you did something very rare.

Mine began in an elite setting, playing auditor for the corporate elite and eventually realizing that my efforts were worthless (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#getting). I was a financial dressmaker, creating a fancy but empty illusion. Dennis and Ralph served the elite in Vietnam. Dennis literally had blood on his hands (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#dennis), while Ralph smelled the napalm (http://ahealedplanet.net/mcgehee.htm#saigon). Some, like my relative who was a CIA contract agent (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), never really figured it out, but drank themselves to death (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#stockwell) as part of the price. Dennis nearly did not survive his moment of awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#voice). Mine was gentler (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#faces), although it capped a dozen years of gradual disillusionment, ever since that voice first spoke to me (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#voice).

Brian was a sherry-sipping Ivy League professor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#oneill) when he had his mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#remote). Late in his life, Brian said that if he knew what he was in for, he would have kept sipping his sherry (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sherry). :)

What I found during my journey, especially my days with Dennis, is that we have to raise our games far above slogans if we are going to make a dent. Dennis constantly tried to find ways to make it easy for people. Heck, they just had to wait for Dennis to put the world’s best heating system (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#new) on their homes for free (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#sfs). Their “skin in the game” was about zero. Dennis shouldered all the risk, and should be dead dozens of times over.

Brian also tried to whip up mass movements, drawing on his activist days, playing protestor (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#protest), etc. He founded idealistic, activist organizations, and got kicked out of them. Until the end of his life, he was a man of the people, like Dennis, trying to get that stampede going. I faithfully carried their spears (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level10), but gradually realized that there was something wrong with the picture. They survived murder attempts from Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) and friends, and it shortened Brian’s life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130), but the betrayals by their allies were the big surprises. You could not have convinced me of that when I became Dennis’s partner, even after watching my boss help steal Dennis’s company (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=905042&viewfull=1#post905042). Dennis had that populist zeal, but a decade later, Dennis admitted reality (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#tailings), and I had long ago learned my journey’s primary lesson (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn).

But, fool that I am, I signed up with Dennis again and helped Brian found NEM (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#nem), and after the NEM experience was a disaster, with Brian once again kicked out of the organization that he founded, I said that I was done carrying anybody’s spears. When Dennis came to my home (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=694872&viewfull=1#post694872) to invite me to the White House (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#midlife) a couple of years later, I nearly kicked him out. But I still carried Brian’s spears at the end of his life, helping him approach the DOE (http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html) and NASA (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog?p=284&viewfull=1#post284), and becoming his biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro), and Dennis still tries to get me into the saddle with him. My wife was glad that I signed up with Dennis again in 1996 and helped found NEM in 2003, as “I got it out of my system.” That is relative, however, as I keep doing what I do, seeing a crack in the dam that might be an opportunity.

It is like that Grateful Dead song, of what a long, strange trip it has been. If you had told me what I was in for, I would have never believed it. So, when I look back at my earlier writings and see what I was groping toward, a lot comes up for me. I can see how I was burrowing toward the truth the whole time, but it was an adventure, with many detours and distractions along the way.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Not long ago, I wrote a series of posts on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184). I wrote of the damage caused by free radicals, industrial toxins, the garbage that Americans ingest and call food, and such drugs as cigarette smoke (the active ingredient is nicotine) and alcohol. I mentioned that I finished reading Nick Lane’s latest book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page2?p=372&viewfull=1#post372) yesterday. I feel compelled to make an early comment on his book, and to also comment on something that I see all the time in the mainstream media.

Anybody who questions vaccination’s safety and effectiveness is not only called crazy, but is portrayed as an active threat to public health. There is a huge illusion promoted that medical science is above the fray, simply seeking what is the highest and best for human health. Bigger lies have seldom been told. Western medicine is a huge racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm), and it is not all that hard to find MDs and scientists who publicly admit it. Of course, their careers are over when they do that, but they are out there. They often challenge the dogma of heart disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lessons), cancer (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket), and the approved treatments. Once in a while, the establishment will embrace the work of the crucified pioneers, without giving them any credit (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#steal), of course. It recently happened with heart disease (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#mayo).

Rife (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife) and Naessens (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens) developed optical microscopes that attained “impossible” resolutions, but you will almost never see an establishment scientist admit it, like Galileo’s contemporaries who refused to look through his telescope (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#galileo). Those scopes’ findings confirmed the pleomorphic reality that Pasteur’s contemporary documented (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm), whom Pasteur seems to have plagiarized in his quest for fame and fortune (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fame). Not only did their findings threaten the very foundation of modern medicine, but they developed highly effective disease treatments based on their findings, especially cancer. They performed many experiments that achieved “believe it or not” results, and those results have been studiously ignored by Establishment science.

Rife’s microscope was the world’s most powerful when he invented it, and his lab became a scientific mecca before he was wiped out, but he is an ignored or reviled figure today. Naessens is still around, and scientists come away amazed (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#moss1) after visiting his lab. Where is the stampede of scientists and doctors, trying to reproduce their findings? The silence is deafening, and when a man began to play the FDA’s game to have Naessens’s treatment approved in the USA, he was kangarooed into prison (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pixley). That is standard procedure in the medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#free), but anybody who questions vaccination or fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm) or provides cheap, harmless, and effective cancer treatment is portrayed as a malevolent threat to the public’s health. Orwell’s world (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell) is alive and well.

I finished my series of vaccination posts (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) with my hypothesis on what is happening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=375&viewfull=1#post375), as organisms fail. Lane’s latest book supports my view, although that was certainly not his intention. :) The free radical theory of aging has apparently been falsified in its initial conception, but Lane still thinks that it is valid, in a subtler way. Lane returned to the comparison of a pigeon and rat (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#birdenergy), as they are both about the same size, with the same metabolism, but a pigeon only produces 10% of the free radicals that a rat does and lives ten times as long. Lane advocates a slightly different dynamic. Programmed cell death (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoptosis) happens when a cell has been sufficiently damaged. Free radicals and other insults cause that damage. Free radical production in the electron transport chain is the mechanism of programmed cell death, as they react with the mitochondrial membrane and sever the electron transport chain, which immediately halts ATP (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#atp) production, and the cell instantly starves to death, as if it ingested cyanide.

But most cell types can be replaced, so it is not that big a deal to dismantle a cell, feed its neighbors with its carcass, and grow new cells. However, there are highly specialized cells that cannot be made anew, such as brain and muscle cells. When one of those dies, it is not replaced. Lane thinks that programmed cell death in those vital and non-reproducing cells is what brings on aging, as fewer remaining cells try to do the work that more cells formerly did, and they get overworked and break down, meeting their maker through programmed cell death, so there is a positive feedback cascade effect to those cells, and that is why we age.

Birds run such a high-performance and “clean ship” that programmed cell death happens at only 10% of the rate of rat cells, and Lane thinks that free radicals must be part of the dynamic. In the end, high-performance equipment (flying is the highest level of energy performance that any animal can make) is of higher quality and does not wear out as quickly as cheaply made equipment, and that analogy seems to apply to the difference between rats and pigeons. It is an energy game, as always.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

A little synchronicity today, as I just saw this on fluoridation (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-02/new-research-suggests-fluoridating-water-dramatically-misguided). I cite Bryson’s work a lot in my fluoride essay (http://ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm).

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Before my hurricane at my day job begins, which won’t end until spring, if then, here is a short post. One of the most sober voices on the financial scene just published his latest (http://www.hussman.net/wmc/wmc160104.htm), and a Peak Oiler recently held forth (http://www.peakprosperity.com/podcast/96091/gail-tverberg-something-has-got-break). In the absence of a new energy source, the Peak Oiler stance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peakoil) is unassailable. The wars in Oil Country (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate) are likely just getting warmed up, and World War III may be the outcome (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#wwIII), if it is not already.

I have been writing some reflective posts lately, and this will be another one. I have written plenty on what the people I seek will likely have in common (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307) and won’t belabor it, but this morning I will touch on some obstacles to my plan (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir). It is a given that almost nobody has what I seek (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle), but for those who do, I do not propose an easy task.

Part of the problem is that humans are social animals (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialreason), and I have written plenty on the hazards of approaching one’s social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page2?p=369&viewfull=1#post369) with my material. But even if my pupils refrain from engaging their social circles, there is a constant pull from people’s social circles, to be a member of the herd, the constant draw to drink the Kool-Aid of the dominant ideologies (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), to not even question their tenets. People who buy into those in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) ideologies abdicate their sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#sentience1) to the degree that they do. The siren song of sleep and herd conformity issues from nearly every mouth, blares from Orwell’s telescreens (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#orwell), dominates the Internet anymore, and anything “progressive” or “conservative” is all about slicing up humanity’s scarce and shrinking economic pie a little differently, and not even dealing with how it can be made bigger, etc.

How to avoid getting sucked into that vortex? I work in corporate America and know how hard it is. All I can say is that it is not easy, to know how it can be (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=356&viewfull=1#post356), while seeing what it is. In order to navigate that terrain, people need ways to be grounded and maintain their internal anchors, or else they are going to go flying off the handle, go off the deep end, become addicted to dysfunctional coping mechanisms, and so on. I have seen so many casualties on my journey. I watched people wreck their lives, lose their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#journey), lose their sanity, and so on. I will always be picking up the pieces of my shattered life, and am grateful that I did not permanently become a quivering pile of wrecked nerves, drink myself to death (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia), and so on. I have had to eliminate people from my life, such as all of my immediate family, who decided to attack me, generally because they could not handle the realities that my journey encountered. My mother’s “my son the criminal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=400492&viewfull=1#post400492)” scrapbook tour was actually a benign event, compared to what others did.

What I ask of my readers is no mean feat, to shed our mind-and-soul-entrapping ideologies and conditioning while not becoming estranged from our social circles. To keep our eyes on the ball and refrain from getting entangled in the million distractions that beckon, to maintain our sanity through it all – not many have what it takes to do that, and I am here to help my pupils stay on the straight and narrow, and it is not easy, given the limitations of the Internet, as awesome a communication tool as it is.

Hi:

I am reading Steven Kinzer’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Kinzer) Overthrow and may read the whole thing, but he is definitely from the liberal side of the house. I have a few of his books, as he focuses on the USA’s foreign policy. Kinzer was a New York Times correspondent, with all the bias that entails (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), and his work is strange. It criticizes the USA’s foreign policy, but does it benignly enough that it gets glowing reviews from the New York Times and other mainstream media outlets such as the Washington Post. Kinzer acted as hagiographer for Paul Kagame, whom Uncle Ed depicted as another genocidist on behalf of American interests (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=966758&viewfull=1#post966758), picked from the small ruling class to rule the majority, in standard imperial style. I did some digging and located one of the damning documents (http://www.rwandadocumentsproject.net/gsdl/collect/usdocs/index/assoc/HASH01ba/d4d84e47.dir/3114.pdf), showing that the USA knew early on that the killings were of the majority Hutu by the Tutsis, which Ed used in his work (http://www.voltairenet.org/article167972.html). Uncles Noam and Ed tellingly revealed Kinzer’s reporting biases in Central America in Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing), and you won’t find Kinzer citing William Blum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blum) (or Uncle Noam! :) ), who is the dean of dissecting American foreign policy.

Over the years, I have noticed a spectrum of awareness, and it goes back to that in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) awareness. People can almost always be counted on to defend their in-group, with the most strained logic and selective use of the facts. In my experience, only saints like Uncles Noam, Ed, Howard (http://ahealedplanet.net/zinn.htm), Mike Parenti (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti), etc. have the personal integrity to lay aside almost all of their in-group loyalties and ascend to the ethical high ground of taking their in-group to task (e.g., Americans taking on American foreign policy). Those on the “right” are generally the most irrational defenders of their in-group, and the non-elite right also tend to make the elite into an out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#weakness), and conspiracy theories (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) are their stock-in-trade.

In the end, Kinzer is an opponent of American intervention, but too often seems to mix up ultimate and proximate causes (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#ultimate), although, for instance, for the USA’s invasion of Iraq, which spurred Kinzer to write Overthrow, he mentioned that Bush the Second and Cheney were oil executives before occupying the White House, and mentioned it prominently, but then moved on to other issues. He is frank that the primary motivation for overthrowing foreign governments is corporate resource exploitation, but keeps it kind of faceless, except when he is writing hagiography for butchers such as Kagame. Kinzer writes critiques of American foreign policy for listeners of NPR and viewers of PBS.

As one example of many that I could provide, on page 208, Kinzer cited the American death toll of its invasion of Southeast Asia: 58,168, and his description of the native suffering was: “The Vietnamese toll was far heavier.” The native death toll in Southeast Asia was in the millions (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1). Kinzer toted up the invader toll down to the individual, but did not even estimate the death toll of the invaded, when it was orders of magnitude higher. On the same page where he began the Vietnam discussion, he counted the bodies in Guatemala as at least 200,000, and right after his Vietnam section, he once again got precise and reported 2,796 murders in aftermath of the Pinochet coup in Chile. So, he’ll report our casualties to the man, and can get precise with small numbers of deaths that we were responsible for, but the slaughters in the millions he cannot bring himself to even estimate. Those kinds of emphases depict Kinzer’s imperial biases. Is it so that he could be published? In a mention of Kinzer, by Ed and Noam, they state that Kinzer was aware of the unsavory imperial facts, but is silent on the most damning of them. It is like the bias of historians (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#objectivity) that I write about.

I wonder how aware Kinzer is, or if he came to peace with his role, but he seems to be one of the shills that Noam refers to, as his views represent the extreme “left” of analysis and opinion, and anything to the left of that is “crazy,” so that people such as Noam, Ed, etc., are placed in the loony left, completely ignored when they are not being attacked, with their views misrepresented. Noam and Ed have always stood on that highest ethical ground of taking their in-group to task as it abuses the out-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup1). There are not many like them, and they are going to leave insanely large shoes to fill when they are gone. Ed is going to be 91 in April (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman) (and that Wikipedia article is a disgusting imperial broadside against Ed), and still produces an article a month for Z Magazine, and still churns out books. Incredible.

Hi:

As an Avalonian reminded me last night, today is my fifth anniversary of posting at Avalon. This is the best Internet run that I have had, by a long way.

I would like to make a post on a subject near and dear to me. My approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir) is a low risk one in ways, but high risk in others. Giving up our comforting delusions (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) is not easy to do. Not only are we inculcated into them almost from our cradles (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#blinded), but they “work” in that if we adhere to them, material and egocentric rewards beckon, as we benefit from our in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) status. Almost nobody on Earth today possesses enough personal integrity (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn) today to even question their in-group ideologies. The most crazed attacks that I have received over the years were about people defending (or denying) the crimes and lies of their in-groups. Few were honest enough to admit it, so they found other reasons for their attacks, but they were irrational (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#false) and thinly veiled, virtually without exception. As Orwell noted (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#orwell), finding a new orthodoxy to dogmatically adhere to is not an advance. We need to become fully sentient beings, in order to jettison that baggage, and it always begins in the heart (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308).

As I continually stress, people need to have already had awakening moments (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309) before work like mine makes sense. Otherwise, people view it through the distorting prisms of their in-group ideologies, so that they really can’t comprehend my work, other than it seeming like an “attack” on their very existence. I have fielded particularly crazed responses from my “peers” – white, educated, American men – on this section of my site (http://ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress), for instance. For those who get past the denial (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level1) and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5) reactions when even hearing about free energy, I have yet to encounter a proposal to “do something” that is not one of the failed approaches (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#approaches) that has been tried many times, even thousands of times, for some of them. Proposing those failed approaches reflects an unwillingness, inability, or inexperience in breaking out of in-group ideologies.

I often refer to Michael Road’s visit to a heavenly future Earth (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), and even I get new “aha” moments when reading it. The Shepherd stated this:

“Yes. Human life is an expression of consciousness…If you choose love, then love is your reality. If you do not choose love, then your conditioning will determine your reality.”


during Roads’s visit to the hellish future Earth (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115). I did not truly appreciate the truth of that statement until many years after first reading it, as I studied for writing my big essay. The Shepherd was stating what I and my fellow travelers discovered the hard way during our journeys. When Brian got all of those crazed reactions of denial and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#reactions), from many of the world’s leading minds, as he played the Paul Revere of Free Energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#revere), he was encountering people who sold out their sentience (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience) for their in-group ideologies. In those instances, they were the more sophisticated ones (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level3), which deny free energy’s possibility, desirability (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5), and deny that organized suppression (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#levels1) even exists, which reflects their allegiance (if they were Americans, and most were) to American nationalism, capitalism, and materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant), which are the primary population control ideologies in the West, during our Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4). In short, none of them really chose love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest), but chose their conditioning, and were then trapped by their choices, unable or unwilling to see past the bars of their cages, or even thought that those bars were there to protect them, not imprison them.

If somebody has not yet had their mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), what follows will not mean much, but our awareness is all that we take with us when we go (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife). Evolving consciousness seems to be the very purpose of physical reality, and sentience is never wasted, and acts from the heart are the most powerful that we can aspire to while in physical reality. I have had dramatic confirmation of that in my own life (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#it), so I am not chattering a bunch of theory and bright ideas, but I used them in the real world and they worked.

My experiences on the high road to free energy (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/49-Manifesting-Free-Energy?p=257&viewfull=1#post257), more than anything else, by orders of magnitude, led to my approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), not a received teaching, literature review, or empty theorizing, although I began my wild ride with some stars to steer by (http://ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#idealist), and only had the truth of such wise statements confirmed during my journey, as I carried the spears of the best of the best (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#adventures).

I make no apologies for my writings being as challenging as they are. They are relatively formidable on the intellectual level, but not really all that much. The emotional challenge is the greatest, as it challenges people to relinquish the innumerable egocentric conceits that our societies run on. I often warn people against trying to turn their social circles (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) onto my work and the idea of FE in general. I have had way too much experience with how that works, and have seen what my fellow travelers encountered. I structured my work so that those who are not ready for work like mine run away almost instantly. That is quite intentional on my part, as my work can make people go insane. I just heard at Christmas about somebody who was institutionalized because he encountered me, and now he openly disparages my work. The risks are very real, for those who are not awakened, with their feet firmly planted on the ground, as they failed to choose love and are subjects of their conditioning. Becoming truly sentient in a world of scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) is no easy trick. The masses are not going to begin to awaken until the means of abundance are delivered into their lives (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#brink). It is just what it is, and does not good to judge the situation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#judge1). We are all on the endless journey, and no part is really any better or worse than any other, although that is not easy to see from here.

But I am not going to apologize to anybody who studies my work, to help them gain a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), and then complains that it was wasted effort, to break through the illusions of their conditioning. That kind of awareness, if it is truly achieved, is anchored with integrity (love) and is the most precious and powerful commodity on Earth, as achieving true sentience is the name of the game in physical reality. Those who complain have not gotten there yet.

Here is to another five good years at Avalon.

Our awareness is all that we take with us with we go.......
A more powerful statement i don't believe I have never heard......as it does seem that physical reality boils down to that one simple fact.
I doff my cap, Wade; here's to five more years, and kicking off the fifth epoch, a place where humanity will have a true chance to evolve, instead of chasing its proverbial tail!!!

Your words are greatly appreciated,

Fiber

Thanks all:

As I wrote that previous post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1035272&viewfull=1#post1035272), I daisy-chained through my writings and ended up at an NDE site, where people post their NDE accounts, and exceptional ones are here (http://www.nderf.org/NDERF/NDE_Archives/Exceptional%20Accounts.htm). This one from Iran (http://www.nderf.org/NDERF/NDE_Experiences/mohammad_z_nde.htm) is appropriate, and this part is important:


“One example of my life review was when I was a little kid. We were traveling by car and stopped somewhere along the way. There was a river not far from the road and I was asked to go and bring some water in a bucket from that river. I went to fill up the bucket but on my way back, I felt that the bucket was way too heavy for me.  I decided to empty some of the water to make the bucket lighter. Instead of emptying the water right there, I noticed a tree that was alone by itself in a dry patch of land. I took the effort to go out of my way to that tree and emptied some of the water at the tree base. I even waited there a few seconds to make sure the water is soaked in the soil and is absorbed. In my life review, I received such an applaud and joy for this simple act that it is unbelievable. It was like all the spirits in the Universe were filled with joy from this simple act and were telling me we are proud of you. That simple act seemed to be one of the best things I had ever done in my life! This was strange to me, because I didn’t think this little act was a big deal and thought I had done much more important and bigger things. However, it was shown to me that what I had done was extremely valuable because I had done it purely from the heart, with absolutely no expectation for my own gain.”


And the next paragraphs showed the ripple effect of our actions:


“Another example of my life review was when I was a 10 years old boy. I had bullied and mercilessly beaten another boy who was also around my age.  He felt tortured and deeply hurt. In my life review, I saw that scene again. The boy was crying in physical and deep emotional pain. As he was walking in the street crying and going back home, he radiated negative energy which affected everything around him and on the path. People and even birds, trees, and flies received this negative energy from him, which kept propagating throughout the Universe. Even rocks on the side of the street were affected by his pain. I saw that everything is alive and our way of grouping things in categories of 'alive' and 'not alive' is only from our limited physical point of view. In reality everything is alive. I felt all of the pain and hurt that I had inflicted upon him inside of myself. When this boy went home to his parents, I saw the impact that seeing him in that state had on his parents.  I felt the feeling and pain it created in them and how it affected their behavior from that point forward. I saw that as a result of this action, his parents would be always more worried when their son was out of home or if he was a few minutes late.

“I saw that whenever I had done something good to anyone or anything, that I had done it to myself. And whenever I had hurt someone, I had done it to myself while actually doing that person a favor because they would receive some form of compensation or help from the Universe as a result.  This universal gift would be bigger than the damage I had caused to them.”


For those who feel caught in the materialistic mire of our world, reading such accounts can be a rejuvenating tonic. Most are thematically similar, and reinforce what I mean about how all that we take us is our awareness, and the power that each of us has to influence our world.

In early 1987, I lived with Dennis’s family (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/81-Vignettes-from-my-journey-and-how-I-learned-what-I-did-and-came-to-my-approach?p=202&viewfull=1#post202), in a house that the rent check was going to bounce on, as his investor pulled the rug out from under him. I was on day 37 of a fast because it was cheaper than eating, and we were recovering from the aftermath of being wiped out in the greatest effort ever made (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run) to bring alternative energy to the American marketplace. That day, I became Dennis’s partner. The nucleus of the effort was three of us, and Dennis’s wife really did not want to be there. A few months later, we were offered $10 million for our bright idea (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#ten), and a year later, they raised it to $1 billion (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer). We had the attention of the people who run the world (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc), and Dennis has had their full attention several times that I know of. I have lived through what a few committed and talented people can do, and am well aware of how people think that my effort does not stand a chance of making any headway. I know better, so I keep plunking along with what I do.

The biggest event in the human journey (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is no small beer (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/43-Chapter-26-Humanity%C2%92s-Fifth-Epochal-Event-Free-Energy-etc?p=356&viewfull=1#post356), is worth at least one man’s life to try out this approach, and we will see how it goes. Thanks, CdnSirian, we’ll see how the next 30 years go, and thanks Fiber, and yes, this post is for you. All that we take with us is indeed our awareness. :)

Best,

Wade

Hi:

With these recent mystical posts, I have been rereading parts of McLuhan’s book (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=787774&viewfull=1#post787774), and he comes across as a reasonable Englishman who looked into the paranormal and found the “skeptical (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends)” pronouncements wanting, and found that there was plenty of intriguing evidence on the paranormal (but, of course, nothing beats direct personal experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#how)). Those so-called “skeptics” are actually anti-scientists, in their Orwellian orientation to the issues. They pose as scientists, but produce absolutely no scientific work on the subjects that they weigh in on. When they do propose scientific hypotheses to explain the evidence within a materialistic framework, as Blackmore did (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#blackmore) for NDEs (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#afterlife), their efforts were generally so shoddy as to collapse inward on their weak foundations. The skeptics are notorious in that area (http://www.near-death.com/science/skepticism.html).

Sheldrake (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#firstlaw) noted the same thing when trying to engage people such as Dawkins on scientific evidence that flies in the face of materialistic theories. That the “skeptics” got Sheldrake’s tame TED talk banned (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=740177&viewfull=1#post740177) is par for the “skeptical” course. As far as the “paranormal” goes, Sagan (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#sagan) and Dawkins were/are phonies, parading as experts in areas where they had zero expertise and had done no scientific work at all. They were actually anti-scientists, as their attitudes showed, when making the case with their actions and attitudes that the “paranormal” was not worthy of being subjected to scientific testing. The antics of stage magician James Randi (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#randi) are grotesque.

There is a vast body of scientific literature on paranormal investigations, with robust data, going back to the 19th century, but you would never know it by looking to the pronouncements of the “skeptics.” I consider organized skepticism to be a criminal enterprise (I have plenty of firsthand experience (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#libel), unfortunately), but what is really damning to the scientific community is that I have regularly encountered scientists looking to the “skeptics” for their pronouncements on the paranormal, and then conclude that there is probably nothing there worth pursuing. That is like skimming tabloid headlines. Materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant) (AKA “physicalism”) is a philosophy, not a scientific stance.

McLuhan brilliantly summed it up with this analogy:

“The difference between parapsychology and Randi’s prize is the difference between a fleet of boats heading out to sea equipped with radar and large nets, and one man sitting beside a muddy stream and waiting for fish to jump into his lap.”

McLuhan’s book is filled with nuggets like that.

Best,

Hi:

When I did my Project Camelot interview in 2009 (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm), Bill said that it was not so much because of Brian (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm) why he interviewed me, but that he had read my work back in 2001. I just discovered that Bill was writing about my work in 2001 (http://www.serendipity.li/fe/ryan_disclosure_project.htm). We have all been at this for a while. :) That 2001 essay by Bill is related to what I planned to write about this morning.

I interrupted writing this post to comment (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3788-New-General-Thread&p=19256&viewfull=1#post19256) on an observation about “paranormal” experiences and ability, and it is also germane to today’s post. You can get a pretty thick skin, standing on the world stage as I have for the past 20 years. I no longer countenance the trolls (http://ahealedplanet.net/critics.htm#troll), but as I search for recruits for the choir (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), I regularly see what is written about me in cyberspace. I have seen many descriptions of my work, as it has been called scholarly, rambling, a pack of lies ( :) ), and other colorful epithets. Even my allies remark on how I write about scientific and historical topics, and then wax mystically, almost in the same sentence. It utterly confuses some people, and many often seize on one aspect of my work and disappear down that rabbit hole, to never be seen again.

As I have written plenty, if I had to use a label on my work, I would call it Neo-Fullerian, which I did not suspect until after I had finished the 2002 version my site, when I was introduced to Bucky’s work (http://ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller). He was the professional grandfather that I did not know that I had. Bucky was no materialist. As I recall, he was quite the student of Theosophy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy). As I have written plenty, all of my fellow travelers that I most respected in the FE field had a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312), and it was a key aspect of their journeys. Almost all of us were either scientists or scientists-in-training when we had our awakening, and it generally ruined us as mainstream scientists, as we could no longer drink the Kool-Aid of materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle), which is the religion of the Fourth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal4).

A truly comprehensive viewpoint (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) is holistic, and does not exclude matters of the spirit in favor of materialism. But enlightened mystical awareness has to be grounded in experience, not some received teaching or literature review. Do I totally buy the Michael teachings and framework, which I wrote about this morning (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3788-New-General-Thread&p=19256&viewfull=1#post19256), as I related it to humanity’s Epochs? I don’t totally buy anything, as it is all subject to revision, the more that I explore and learn. Even the most inspired channeled material comes through humans who are mired in the scarcity and fear (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#coming) of our Epoch. What would “channeled” writings in the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) look like, if the phenomenon survived at all (would writing survive for long?)? Unless people are manifesting the Infinite Spirit (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#infinite), their utterances will always be conditioned, to one degree or another, by the pervasive limitations of our reality on Earth, which has been dominated by scarcity and fear since the Cambrian Explosion (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ecosystem) (punctuated by golden ages of relative energy abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#goldenages), which were generally brief), so I take everything, even my writings ( :) ), with a grain of salt, realizing the conditions that it was produced under.

We can temporarily leave behind mystical musings and just think about the very real physical (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#immediate), social, and cognitive (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#cognitive) changes that may well manifest in the Fifth Epoch. But the mystical aspects (our soul-related aspects, and other terms can certainly apply here) will be vital, and more than merely explanatory. A Mature Soul world (with Old Souls like me (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#reading) doing what we do) will look nothing like a Young Soul world, or feel like it. Can love (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest) really come to “dominate” that world? I do not consider this world to be fictional (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), and if there may be one way to sum up the intention behind my work, it is to serve as a beacon for those who want to incarnate into that world in a lifetime not far off on their souls’ journey. We can get there in all practicality, and FE is the key to abundance (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#necessity). I am about giving people the choice to aspire to manifesting that kind of world, and work like mine, if I may be so bold, is about helping blaze the path to that world. If I can just help people imagine that it is possible, I am done (http://ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine). Anything more will be gravy.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This will be a slightly different spin on a familiar theme, spurred by this article that I recently read (http://qz.com/588126/theres-a-good-reason-americans-are-horrible-at-science/?utm_source=YPL), in which the author wrote:


“About a third of Americans think that there is no sound evidence for the existence of evolution or benefits of universal vaccination. Our leaders and wanna-be leaders say that evolution is a myth, vaccines cause autism, and a snowball constitutes proof that climate change isn’t a problem. It is tempting to blame such benightedness on lack of education…”


Even though that author (a medical doctor) stated in that article that nearly all cancer “research” is bogus, that scientific literacy should be more about understanding the process of science rather than its facts, he explicitly stated, more than once, that questioning evolution and vaccination was like thinking that Earth was flat.


When I studied the media (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big), perhaps the most common statement from media analysts was that the greatest failure of the media was due to conflicts of interest, and it was pervasive, such as Nightline (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#nightline) asking Henry Kissinger for his “diplomatic” views on China, while failing to disclose that he was heavily invested in China. The propaganda model presented in Manufacturing Consent (http://ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#manufacturing) primarily dealt with conflicts of interest in reporting. I find it amazing to see how blinded people can be to conflicts of interest, as if they were just off the turnip truck. I find that professionals can often be the blindest to them. That blindness often relates to their in-group (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ingroup) allegiance, which is normal, but it is also related to the ideological aversion (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion) to the idea of conspiratorial activities (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), which even Michael Parenti (http://ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#parenti) commented on.

There are no economic empires that I am aware of that are based on foisting a “belief” in evolution on the public. I have read plenty of challenges to evolution, and I did not find any of them to be persuasive, and they often came from critics grinding the ax of organized religion. I consider the idea of descent with modification, which was the bedrock of Darwin’s theory (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#darwin), to be one of the most battle-tested ideas in science. That is one of the most solid areas of science, and I know of no conflicts of interest that might have distorted the issue. Anybody can go out and dig up fossils. Nothing was ever dug up that I ever heard of that contradicted Darwin’s idea, and the rise of disciplines such as genetics and molecular biology have powerfully supported Darwin’s idea.

But vaccination is a radically different issue. The medical racket (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm) is one of Earth’s greatest, and the roots of vaccination are very shaky, going back to the beginning and the first great vaccinator (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=195&viewfull=1#post195). The person whose work provided the theoretical foundation for vaccination had no biological training and was consumed with ambition to become rich and famous (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fame), and the evidence is not only strong that he plagiarized and stole (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) on his way to the top, but that he fraudulently cooked his data on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rabies). The man was far from a saint (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#geison). Yet, in microbiology classes today, students are taught a complete fairy tale (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#geison) on their first day of class about that giant of science. That is not even disputable. It is very much like the fairy tales (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#irving), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#weems)) and lies of omission (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/columbus.htm#second), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#blueprint)) regarding the USA’s greatest Founding Fathers.

Today, huge biomedical empires are built on vaccination, and I have even seen dissident MDs describe vaccination as a “loss leader” for the medical racket, as vaccines don’t make vast sums of money by themselves (it is still in the billions of dollars each year), but they so compromise people’s immune and related systems that it sets up a long-term cash flow for the medical racket, treating the chronic diseases that vaccination sets in motion. The author of that article seems completely oblivious to all of that, equating questioning vaccination’s safety and effectiveness to questioning evolution. I recently wrote a series of posts on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184) and won’t belabor the issue in this post, but conflicts of interests are the bane of knowledge and the scientific ideal.

I have been writing about McLuhan’s book (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/53-Wade-s-Blog/page2?p=382&viewfull=1#post382) lately, and he devoted plenty of ink to Sheldrake’s work and went deep on an example of it, related to the “skeptics (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends),” to show how “paranormal” research works and how the “skeptics” operate. He dealt with Sheldrake’s experiments on telepathy between dogs and their owners. A noted “skeptic” claimed to have reproduced one of Sheldrake’s experiments and invalidated his findings. To this day, “skeptics” cite that invalidation in their arsenal of “facts” to debunk the paranormal. The situation with that debunker’s experiment became so confusing to McLuhan that he went deep on the issue, closely examining the experiments and their data. The “skeptic” played so fast and loose in his experiment that McLuhan was dismayed. To wit:


“I was initially impressed with the methodical way that Wiseman set the parameters for the experiment. But as I started to grasp what he was doing this feeling evaporated, and I experienced that growing incredulity that sceptics [the English spelling – Ed.] themselves complain about when critiquing the work of parapsychologists.”


McLuhan summed up the Sheldrake/Wiseman issue with:


“As is so often the case, a poorly thought out, misinformed, and opportunistic enterprise yields a result that becomes part of the critical literature and can be referred to as if it was the last word.”


The house organ of organized skepticism (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends) stopped doing any original scientific work because of a scandal in its early days, when its members were caught cooking the data (http://ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#randi) during a paranormal “investigation.”

McLuhan wrote the following nugget regarding scientific practice, in response to Thomas Huxley’s statement that scientific practice needed to sit down before fact, “as a little child,” seeing the world’s wonders with fresh eyes.


“We aren’t innocent children, alive to any new ideas and experiences that come our way; on the contrary, by the time we reach thirty most of us are primed to repel anything that does not fit with that bundle of facts, assumptions, preconceptions, prejudices and half-truths that we call a worldview. Scientists are certainly no exception to this, however eminent…A respect for objective truth, and a passion to identify it, however unpalatable, are vanishingly rare: most of us, most of the time, busily arrange the facts to suit our self-interest.”


The scientific ideal (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#theories) is about forming testable hypotheses to explain the causative mechanisms behind a phenomenon, and that is a worthy ideal, as long at the limitations of such an enterprise (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#mystical) are acknowledged and scientists refrain from trying to make science into the religion known as materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) (AKA “physicalism”), which the best scientists always try to avoid (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#mystical2).

I am prepared to admit that:


Vaccination is safe and effective;
The presently conceived germ theory of disease is the only valid paradigm;
That the attack-the-tumor approach is the only effective way to treat cancer;
That there is no evidence that we are being visited by ET civilizations;
That the universe is really less than 14 billion years old and is expanding from the Big Bang;
That the appearance of humans on the evolutionary scene had no ET help,


if I ever saw all of the evidence for those issues credibly dealt with. But I have not, and here are some flies in the ointment. First, a few points on vaccination (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=184&viewfull=1#post184):



The very conception of the germ theory of disease was formulated by a scientist with no biological training, whose first claim to fame in the biological sciences was undoubtedly a mythical and dubious rendering of the facts (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#farley), and there is substantial evidence that that giant of science stole from and plagiarized his colleagues (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#paradigm) on his rise to the fame and fortune that he so craved (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#fame);
There is no credible evidence that vaccination ever vanquished a disease; all communicable diseases were on their way out, both in incidence and mortality, long before the vaccines were introduced, and the effect of vaccination on the mortality curves is not even discernable; the “champion” of vaccination’s success is smallpox, but the data paints a very different picture (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#smallpox);
There is no doubt that many people have had serious and even fatal reactions to vaccination, and the biomedical industry has performed a logical sleight-of-hand regarding vaccine safety (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=196&viewfull=1#post196);
The so-called immune system response of vaccines has failed to demonstrate clinical immunity;
The so-called childhood diseases in the West today seem to be key events in developing immune systems, and are almost never fatal, so trying to prevent them with vaccinations seems to set dynamics in motion that impairs a child’s immune system;
In the 20th century, several scientists independently stumbled (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#bechamp) into reproducing the findings of Pasteur’s contemporary (which challenge the entire germ theory of disease), and most impressively, two scientists developed microscopes with “impossible” optical resolutions (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rife), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens)) that clearly show those subcellular dynamics that call the germ theory into question; I have yet to see mainstream science even look through those microscopes;
There are huge conflicts of interest in the field of vaccinations, but I have never seen them even considered by vaccination’s proponents, almost all of whom had conflicts of interest; the sordid conflicts of interest regarding fluoridation (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/80-Vaccination?p=377&viewfull=1#post377), the medical establishment’s promotion of cigarettes (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes), and many other scandalous issues should make any thinking person at least question the conflicts of interest that abound around the vaccination issue.


Until I see that contrary evidence dealt with in anything like an objective manner, I am going to have serious doubts about vaccination.

The same man who was the avatar of cigarette promotion (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#cigarettes) (whose greatest triumph was promoting an asbestos cigarette filter (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#lorillard), believe it or not) waged a “war on quacks (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#quacks)” as he wiped out all alternative cancer treatments, all of which abandoned the violent and lucrative attack-the-tumor paradigm, and one of his greatest “successes” was wiping out one of those scientists with an “impossible” microscope, after his attempts to buy into the company were rebuffed (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#hamer). All such treatments have been wiped out in the USA (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#suppress), in a style reminiscent of Al Capone (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#capone). Orthodox cancer treatment appears to be one of Earth’s most lucrative rackets (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#racket).

Until I see those alternative treatments receive a fair hearing (and since they are all harmless, there is no sane reason to outlaw any of them; the situation looks just like what the founder of the American medical establishment warned against (http://ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#rush)), I will have grave doubts about the attack-the-tumor paradigm of cancer treatment, not to mention the alleged worthlessness of treatments that abandon that paradigm.

When an astronaut colleague hosted a UFO conference (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack) back in the early 1990s, the year after I met him (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), he was soon approached by the American military, to perform classified UFO research. Immediately after refusing their “offer,” he nearly died in an incident that shortened his life (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/73-Darren-Geffert-s-introductory-posts?p=130&viewfull=1#post130). I have gone to see UFOs fly overhead on several occasions (http://ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm), including 2015, and I was never disappointed. There is far more to the UFO/ET issue than is officially admitted (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#ufo2), and more than a few of the exotic technologies that my close friend was shown (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#underground), which included free energy and antigravity technologies, were almost certainly developed from reverse-engineering “captured” ET craft. After barely surviving what he thought was a murder attempt, my astronaut colleague (I became his biographer (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#intro)) became prominently involved in an effort (http://ahealedplanet.net/journey.htm#greer) to form a safe venue where UFO witnesses could testify, most of whom had “national security” restrictions that prevented them from testifying, and other legendary astronauts were involved (1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Mitchell#Views_on_UFOs), 2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cooper#UFO_sightings)). I recently heard of an incident at the ISS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station), from a very credible source, in which a UFO “harassed” the astronauts within, for days, and such incidents are always covered up, with a highly sophisticated protocol.

Only when such people can safely testify, and when the ET issue makes its way past the official secrecy and obfuscation, and ETs can hold Q&As with scientists in a public forum, and the evidence can be dispassionately examined, will I gain some satisfaction that the current orthodox theories of the universe’s creation, age, and dynamics (such as if it is really expanding as is stated by today’s orthodox position) are in any way valid. We have yet to leave our star system, and we think that we have it all figured out? That will also apply to the idea that the evolution of humanity was not somehow assisted by such ET visitors, both regarding the origin of life on Earth and the evolutionary journey that led to humanity. Until the lies, secrecy, coercion, and violence end, the prevailing theories rest on very dubious foundations.

Until mainstream scientists can even acknowledge those limitations (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#irrelevant), they will be playing a small game.

It is time to begin a very busy day, to begin a very busy week, when I will likely be fairly quiet on the posting front.

Hi:

Interesting dialogue today (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3765-Assessing-Scientific-and-Historical-Information&p=19267&viewfull=1#post19267) with somebody who used to work in NASA’s Mission Control (http://universalspectrum.org/forum/showthread.php?3788-New-General-Thread&p=19068&viewfull=1#post19068).

Hi:

Oh boy, there are some days when I feel the years moving on me, and this morning, reading that David Bowie died (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie#Death), is one of those days.

I am studying Nick Lane’s latest (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1032538&viewfull=1#post1032538). His work is great, but is also dense with meaning, and it can get rather technical. When I update my essay to reflect his book and Ward/Kirschvink’s, it will be less technical, “dumbing it down” a level or so. People can go deep on his work, and it would be rewarding, but for my purposes, I do not need to get as technical as he does.

I’ll give an example of some of the good stuff in his book. Lane has long written about the life expectancy of birds (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#birdenergy) and bats, and how they live far longer than their earth-bound relatives, although birds have no cousins left, with the crocodile being their closest relative. Lane has long used the pigeon and rat analogy, as both have about the same body mass, have the same metabolism, but pigeons live ten times as long and produce only 10% as many free radicals. There is definitely a connection, and the research continues.

Sexual selection explains why monkeys, apes, and humans are dimorphic (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#dimorphism), and also explains why male birds are colorful while females are not. Richard Francis’s Why Men Won’t Ask for Direction deals with avian sexual selection at length, and is a good read. The heart of Lane’s latest book is mitochondria, which are the energy generation centers of all animals. The role of mitochondria will get perhaps the biggest makeover in my big essay, when I tweak it in the coming months. One of the more fascinating “fun facts” in Lane’s book is a hypothesis on that colorful plumage, which is a form of display (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#display1), which scientists think advertises reproductive fitness. For instance, the standards of beauty that humans have derive from signs of reproductive fitness. All men are most attracted to 25-year-old women, as they are at the ideal reproductive age.

In Lane’s book, he discussed the tradeoffs between mitochondrial efficiency and reproduction. A flying bird has awesome aerobic demands, compared to landlubbing mammals, and its mitochondria have to be in tip-top shape. Mitochondrial efficiency is dependent on the genetic match of its nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and poorly matched DNA will result in inefficient mitochondria, which is likely a key aspect of aging. There is still plenty of controversy on free radical production and aging, but for birds, highly efficient mitochondria are essential. It turns out that the pigments in bird plumage are mainly produced by the mitochondria, so that male that wins the plumage contest and gets to mate has successfully advertised his mitochondrial health. :) Fascinating.

Best,

Wade

I have finally watched the latest from the Star Wars franchise: The Force Awakens. I will not give away any plot details other than to say I was very disappointed with the entire movie.

Not really getting into it, I decided to watch it from an energy surplus point of view. And this quickly brought into focus major problems. :)

In Star Wars everything has to be massive and epic. From the Star Destroyer to the Death Star. (you gotta love the names). What do massive things have in common? They require massive amounts of energy to run. Especially if you also have a hyper drive. But somehow they don’t have that much energy surplus... hm...

If you watched the entire series you will know of pretty harsh planets and work environments that don’t have health insurance or lots of paid vacation days. Slave trade and child labor is still a present day event. Desert landscapes abound with its lack of water and lack of vegetation.

Let’s assume you are an engineer in the Star Wars universe. Let’s also say that you’re pretty good. At least like Anakin good. He was able to build C3PO, who was an apt A.I. (try to translate stuff and you’ll see what I mean). And so is R2D2. So we don’t have a lack of brains in that world.

You also have the energy required to leave your star system and travel the galaxy. To put that into context a bit, on our planet we have not been able to leave our star system yet (not officially, at least) and yet we still have enough energy to create much more human friendly working conditions.

So what would you do? Would you pick fights with the evil empire? Would you become a marauder? A bounty hunter?

How about using the massive amounts of energy that your starship uses for the faster than light travel to power a community of peaceful people living in heavenly conditions on a distant planet?

You could say that the hyper drive is like a nuclear bomb. Lots of energy, but not really usable unless you want to blow something up. But if you have the brains to build a hyper drive, anti-gravity and artificial intelligence, is not that much of a stretch that eventually a “hyper drive” adapter could be built that will output electricity or whatever you need on your planet as “energy source”.

This means you can have a compressor to cool things down or heat them up as required. No need for a desert! You can use a high power beam to melt sand into glass to have a really nice, easy to maintain, clean home. Hey, you can melt yourself a really nice glassy crater if you fancy that kind of a design. Lots of artificial high quality light. No more of those “dim flickering bulbs” in an underground hut, while your hyper-drive is getting covered with sand outside your home. You could then start the slow process of building an eco-system that supports you and vegetation, or you can get a head start and just travel to a place where this already exists and put your huge energy resources to use in an effort of maintaining that balance.

You can make the argument that owning a smartphone does not mean you can build one. And you would be correct. But in our story we are a very smart engineer and even if we were not, we could team up with other people who have the required skills and tools to put together such a community. The point is that technology, know-how and precision tools are not what is missing from the Start Wars Universe. What is missing is a character to wake up to the idea that the huge energy supplies that have access to can be put to much, much better use than fighting.

This character will not be the Sith Lord. He has a vested interest in creating armies and wars and a clothing factory that uses dark fiber to manufacture his cape. Regardless of how much energy he has, he will continue to play his games.

Not surprisingly, our character will not be a Jedi either. The Jedi order needs the Sith Lord, and it needs the evil empire to justify their existence and their (sometimes) frustrating training in the ways of The Force. What would a Jedi do at a farm? Sharpen his light saber so he can chop wood?

Our character has to be an engineer, thinking in terms of energy, resources, a higher standard of life for everybody (and therefore himself) and a person who could not be bothered with politics.

But the Evil Empire will seek you out and crush your little piece of Heaven, right?!

Well… let’s think about this for a bit! We have the Emperor (really nasty dude) and his apprentice. If I understood the lore right, there is only one apprentice. So we have two boys that are really evil. Let’s say that they are super powerful and they can mind control 1000 subjects to do their bidding? So we have 1,002 people versus the rest of the Galaxy.

What they are going to do? What incentive could they possibly offer for people to join their ranks?

“I sense you’re doing really well here in this little paradise… I sense your life is super peaceful and calm… Wouldn’t you want to join the Empire? You get to be my subject while I rule over the Galaxy and I can force-choke you at any moment if I have a bad hair day. So what do you say? Ain’t this a great offer?”

Who would take them up on that? He may coerce a couple to join, but at that rate the emperor would die of old age by the time he gets to 2,002 people.

The clone army? Again I don’t see what the incentive would be to create that. The emperor cannot do it himself, so he would have to “pay” someone to do it. And pay them in what? Why would they need the emperor’s money if they’re so smart that they can clone people…? It would be like me creating a bunch of guns, then handing them over to someone else so they can shoot me with them.

But, OK the emperor is really smart, and mischievous, mind controlling almost everybody and he gets his clones and his armies. Let’s say a couple billion of them. So that’s a planet. Versus the rest of the Galaxy… He still does not stand a chance if the rest of the Galaxy is bound to keep the peace and create paradise with the energy technology they now possess.

The plot in Star Wars feels on very shaky grounds to me. The massive amounts of energy that almost everybody has at their disposal would make the motivation for war obsolete. You would have at most the “Sith Planet” (with 2 people on it) and the “Jedi Planet” with a handful of Jedi knights, having a “Force” contest from time to time, while the rest of the Galaxy would mind their own business.

This is why I enjoy Star Trek – TNG so much better. They have moved beyond the petty motivation of war for resources. Of course you still have the Romulans and the Klingons picking fights and when I try to find out “why?!” it doesn’t make sense for the same reasons that the Star Wars conflicts make no sense. What kind of incentive you could offer your troops to die for you, to kill another race, when you have your galaxy at your disposal to live your life in peace, exploration and joy?

I have such a hard time imagining the Star Wars world. You spend ages developing a technology to travel faster than light, and the first thing you do is to pick a fight?! I suppose a percentage of the galaxy inhabitants are that crazy, but to get from there to a full-fledged “star wars” you need the rest of the galaxy to help them and enable their war games! Otherwise I don’t see this happening…

Star Wars (and to some extent TNG) assume the wars as being there. As part of “the Universe”. And when you assume wars you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, what is acceptable in terms of sacrifice and “collateral damage”. But most importantly, when you assume wars you hide away a more important questions of “Why do we have wars in the first place? What motivates all these troops to die on the battle field and to destroy other beings? What were the other choices that were so bad that it made them choose the life of a solider?” And this happens in the news today, in politics and in the economic games we play. We assume scarcity, and with that in mind, wars make perfect sense, we have to win or we will die.

I am looking forward to when the next episode of the Star Wars franchise will be called: The Engineer Awakens! And he will needs mothers, brothers, fathers, sisters and cousins to put the pages of the new paradigm. :) No more Jedis, or Sith Lords, or clones… Just “regular” human beings awakening to their potential, not need a savior, and just putting to different use the technology and energy surplus that is already available.

Hello Wade ~

When taking the conservative way of using the old approach to things and thinking that life's certain experiences were illusions, all this can lead to false conclusions

Not something that was not done by the many scientists before..

The explorers many times do not want to explore

Many blessings ~

If I may add one more thing, I have just listened to someone say this -

'We really have to get back to our true connection in this physical reality, every single life form on this planet has a purpose, has a purpose within the vast eco-system that creates this planet, and when a life form forgets their connection, that's when things start to really go awry. Because if you forget your connection, you really forget what to do. You forget how to listen, you forget how to observe, you forget to really see what's right infront of you and you begin to take all your knowledge and your experiences out of the abstract and put them on the physical realm or the other way around. This one way or the other is really what we can see in the world today. Both forms of knowledge (abstract and physical) are essential to understand our whole reality as human beings. Most people today their knowledge base is more physical then it is abstract. There has to be a balance.'

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Ilie:

Great subject and post. This will take a while, and should be fun. I have long written about my movie junkie days (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=322756&viewfull=1#post322756). I was 18 when the first Star Wars came out. I spent a week in Palm Springs in late June of 1977, and all over the “strip” was Star Wars stuff, which was the first I heard of the movie, and it took several months for it to play in my home town of Ventura. Then I watched it nine times, only exceeded by twelve times for Raiders several years later. A moviemaker friend was trying to get movies off of the ground in 1983-1985, and he lamented how much the Star Wars motif dominated Hollywood. He told me an inside story on making Star Wars. Before they added the soundtrack, the movie looked like a bomb.

I saw the new Star Wars (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=1033864&viewfull=1#post1033864), but only because of the rave reviews and my wife wanted to see it. She liked the strong female lead, kicking butt and not needing to be saved by men. I’ll probably see the rest that come out, but I won’t stand in line. :) Star Wars has always been kind of corny, which is part of its charm. Star Wars is known as “space opera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_opera).” The new Star Trek movies are space opera-ish, and that is too bad. A new Star Trek TV series is coming soon, and we’ll see how that goes.

All movies take liberties with reality, to create their own (the “suspension of disbelief” is required for any movie to work). If you are scientifically and technologically literate, it is easy to see that Hollywood movies violate all manner of energy and real-world parameter. I remember when Star Wars was big in 1977 and the “mystical” community in Southern California was raving about it (years before Shirley MacLaine made her splash and it began being called New Age (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage)), my father pointed out stuff like the space craft roaring as they passed by. There is no sound in space. :)

The franchise peaked with the second movie (Raiders peaked with its first, and I am so happy that Spielberg did not make an ET sequel), and they should have stopped there. Alec Guinness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Guinness#Film_career) constantly complained about the silly lines that he had to say. As my moviemaker friend said, if there are not compelling relationships in a movie, people won’t be interested, no matter how spectacular the visuals. I agree. What movies do, as with fictional writing, is create settings and situations in which humans can interact, often in unusual ways. Because the USA is predominantly white, virtually all Hollywood movies revolved around white people, and if people of color were featured in them, white heroes saved the day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior_narrative_in_film). The “magical negro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro)” has been one of Hollywood’s stock characters. The USA is history’s most racist nation (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#racism), so those are “normal” aspects of Hollywood.

A hot new writer in fantasy has published his “laws” on magic and technology in fiction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Sanderson#Sanderson.27s_Laws). It is how magic and technology effects people that is interesting, not so much the magic and technology themselves. I was just having a conversation the other day on FE and how economic changes (always energy-based, of course :) ) were always the catalyst for big social changes, not the other way around. That is why the social approach (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) does not work for Epochal change (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochaltable). Slavery was unimaginable until domestication made people sedentary (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#slaverybeginning), but when machines began replacing people, slavery then became an evil institution (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#southseas), after ten thousand years of being hallowed. Even pre-industrial Utopias had slaves in them (Greeks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_utopian_literature#Pre-16th_century), More (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_%28book%29)). The beginning and end of slavery were entirely subservient to economics.

Women had a brief golden age in horticultural societies (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#patrilineal1), when they began bringing in more calories than men, but their status fell with the advent of civilization (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#womenstatus1), as they became broodmares for agrarian societies. Their status did not rise again until industrialization, which led to the demographic transition (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#demographic), as well as freed the slaves. But people never imagined the next Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#imagine) until it happened. That is why people trying to chat up their social circles about FE always have such dismaying experiences. I have yet to encounter anybody who chatted up their social circles about FE who did not tell me about how it wrecked relationships. Maybe one or two in your circles would be hip and receptive (usually in Level 4 (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level4) fashion), but you can count on far more wrecked relationships than ones that became closer due to FE talk. You might even prefer that outcome, but be prepared to strain or wreck most of your relationships if you engage in FE proselytizing amongst your social circle. And those who are receptive rarely get beyond the beginners’ levels, and you can count on being bombarded with any energy-related news, whether it is a new car, a new battery, a new windmill, and all sorts of technologies that have nothing whatsoever to do with FE. If they send you stuff on FE, it is usually about the inventor of the hour, claiming that he is the Messiah (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#messiah), some conspiracist (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism) flavor of the day (Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) rumors, FE revolutionaries sneaking up on him (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level7)), etc. That is another hazard of chatting up your social circle about FE: you kind of become an energy news toilet.

Being an FE revolutionary and visionary makes it hard to watch movies! :) My Hollywood friends picked apart movies for various reasons, such as technical (“See that continuity break (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_editing) there!”), or plot holes, a weak story, bad acting, cheesy special effects, etc. I am always catching the technological gaffes, and yes, Ilie, Star Wars takes amazingly transformative technologies and just uses them as backdrops for cowboy stories, with “The Force” thrown in, for mystical effect. I think that it is helpful to realize that Spielberg and Lucas often paid homage to what they grew up watching. Raiders was explicitly that way, and to a degree, so was Star Wars.

It is time to go to work, and I have much more to write on this, including those Star Wars inanities, when the best that they can do with abundant energy is have galactic wars and blow up planets. :)

Best,

Wade

There is so much wisdom in that quote. How did it happen that we, as humans, have forgotten this connection? We could have been loving stewards of the earth, why do we treat it like we are at a frat house party, to be trashed out and left for someone else to clean up?

Wade, thank you so much for all the wisdom, insights, and information you have shared with us. I can't help but believe that this testament of yours will be much more appreciated by future generations. I for one, truly appreciate and am honored to be able to read and meditate on your thoughts.

Hi Peter:

I am running out the door to work, so quickly, thanks for reading. I can only hope that I am not that far ahead of my time, or there won’t be any future generations to read my work. :) I am about helping nudge the boulder in the years I have left, and we will see how it goes.

[ThePythonicCow]

when I try to find out “why?!” it doesn’t make sense
Perhaps the swirling of positive and negative, of "north" and "south" polarizations, of yin and yang, of masculine and feminine, of Sith and Jedi, ... is the natural order of being, the way in which orderings form from the undivided firmament, Ordo ab Chao (order out of chaos).

I started just now to write "way in which orderings are formed" (passive verb tense), but changed it to "way in which orderings form" (active verb tense.) The essence of persistent orderings, from the sub-atomic to the super-galactic, from a grain of sand on the beach to the most wizardly shamans, from the lowest levels of matter and energy to the highest levels of spiritual awareness, from a spec of mold to civilizations that span galaxies is, I suspect, that they are self-organizing, self perpetuating, swirling vortices of "self" and "other", at whatever levels of being they perpetuate their existence. They are not (passively) created ... they (actively) "co-create."

We all, at all levels of "beingness and otherness", seek "freedom" ... the realization, self-actualization, of our potential nature, at the highest levels of ordering accessible to our nature. That is our manifest destiny, whether we are sand or shaman. This is the supreme categorical imperative.

[Ilie Pandia]

Hi Paul, I suppose that could be a "law" of this particular Universe/dimension/reality frame. That you cannot have positive without the negative, and you would need the "dark side" to "bring balance to the force" and our journey is a complex dance between the two. I can however imagine other Universes where such dynamics are not in place. Because of that I have to wonder how much of the duality of positive/negative is an assumption and how much is an universal basic "rule" that we self-organize from... as a very deep and fundamental principle...

Part of why I wrote the post that I wrote is because to me war no longer makes sense as a "dance" once you get over the abundant energy threshold... After that, the tension may still remain. But it will be between "known vs unknown". Survive will no longer be the primary imperative as it seems to be now. For me personally it would be sad story to be trapped within very specific bounds. But music has only 12 chromatic notes and we can see that does not seem to have limited the way in which we create some order/patterns out of those to make music :).

But if you are saying that we are forever bound into a "good vs evil" battle... I am not buying that. (And I may be naive in that regard).

[ThePythonicCow]

But if you are saying that we are forever bound into a "good vs evil" battle... I am not buying that. (And I may be naive in that regard).
As we become aware of the higher levels of duality, we are no longer so much the slave of lower levels, but rather the dynamics at those lower levels become our servants. Whether we respect the beings formed by those lower level dynamics, or try to enslave them, will in turn our own beingness. Locking ourselves into battle with lower levels, whether within or without, narrows our own awareness and limits, for that moment at least, the levels at which we manifest.

The key is not whether or not there is duality (even that question is itself a manifestation of duality <grin>), but at what levels of duality we are aware and manifest.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi guys:

Small subjects, I see. :) Your exchanges are related to what I was planning on writing about. You are not just writing about the meaning of life, but the meaning of Creation. On duality, my understanding that the only “place” of unity is at the Godhead, and its emissary on the physical plane is the Infinite Spirit (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nature), and it does not come around all that often. Everything else in Creation is a fragment and experiences itself as separate, including all of us earthbound humans. We all see very dimly through the glass here.

The issue of polarity, good and evil (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#love), and the like, is a parameter of being on Earth at this time. The darkness is dominant today, and we toy with destroying ourselves (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#spaceshipearth) in our egocentric pursuits, and Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) is the grandmaster of the game. As I have stated many times, a mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=312&viewfull=1#post312) has to come, first, before the mystical literature is really going to make all that much sense. Ra (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra), Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), and Seth (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#seth) all have exalted mid-causal perspectives of the nature of the game that we are playing here, and the message is pretty consistent across large bodies of mystical literature: we are learning to be creators, and creators create with love. And we keep coming back until we have learned the lessons that our souls sought in coming here. Easy for them to say. :)

There have been galactic wars, if what I have read is to be believed, and there are planets with Klingon-like residents, and planets that look like this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), and every human on Earth today is here because our souls committed to growth through being ensouled as humans on Earth. But this corner of our galaxy hosts something like Star Trek’s Federation (minus the ass**les at headquarters :) ), and the dark pathers (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving) who think they are in charge of Earth are not nearly in control like they think.

How much of that, if any, is true? :) Don Shimoda said that he could not prove that any of it was true, but it was fun to believe. I find that many “mystical” people fight over such tenets, just like any religious fundamentalist. I have seen enormously accomplished psychics unable to navigate the hazards of life on Earth, like little children jumping into cars with strangers who offer them candy bars, or acting without basic integrity. That recent “purpose” quote is about attaining a comprehensive perspective (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing), where the physical and mystical are united. Not an easy dance. On one pole are materialists, and on the other are people who “explore” other dimensions but can’t stay grounded in this one.

It is easy to get strung out and lose one’s way, if one’s heart is not in charge. The head will follow. That is why only people whose hearts are in the right place (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=308&viewfull=1#post308) can help with my chore (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#choir), for instance.

I could write for days on this stuff, but it is time for bed, and off to Star Wars! :)

Best,

Hi Wade,

Maybe you can expand on "there have been galactic wars" and what the reason was for that. On Earth I get it: is the alleged scarce resources, but even on this planet we have corners that are still somewhat pristine. So at Galaxy level, because of the space and distances involved and the massive amounts of energy that may be required to travel such distances (at least in the classical sense) I don't know how would someone be able to wage any meaningful war...

This would imply some galactic level sensor array that would allow you to track down your "enemies". Otherwise it would be like searching the needle in the proverbial haystack... My assumption is that if I had a hyper drive, there is no way someone could find me, unless they are incredibly lucky and I am incredibly unlucky... So given that amount of space and options... what would be the logic/strategy/energy/resources/motivation behind a galactic level war? How would a general keep their troops in line and prevent them from going "native"? or just disappearing on them? Maybe the "M class" planets are really rare and easy to find... hm...

In your essay you mention the relative (brief) golden ages when the population pressure was not that great and it was enough for everyone. Wouldn't that apply to the Galaxy level as well? Is the Galaxy more crowded than we realize :becky:?

Hi Ilie:

Again, I have not left my home star system, and I don’t know any people who have. My mystical awakening (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#silva) opened many doors, including chasing after FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#pursuit), and I take all literature with a certain grain of salt. There is nothing like being there. To put it plainly, creation is a big place, as is our universe. We are all playing the creation game, in whatever dimension we find ourselves. Michael (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#michael), for instance, says that the same basic game is being played by all ensouled “fragments” on the physical plane. Ra (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#ra) says that positive and negative “polarization” is the name of the game in this universe (as a way to grow). I have encountered many NDE accounts (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#nde), other-dimensional explorations such as Monroe’s pupils (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#monroe), FE adventures when Godzilla (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#gc) sicced his psychopaths (1 (http://ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm), 2 (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#deputy), 3 (http://ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#texas)) on us, I have worked where life was cheap (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?10672-WADE-FRAZIER-A-Healed-Planet&p=406928&viewfull=1#post406928), and was just reading last night on the USA’s evil “justice” system (http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/01/12/how-corrupt-us-is-extraordinary-example.html).

I have read a vast body of spiritual literature, including “religious” accounts, tales of the afterlife, channeled material, have had dozens of psychic readings, attended scores of channeled sessions, done my own stuff (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#research), traded notes with fellow travelers (http://ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#meet), and I have taken all of that and distilled it through my awareness, and if I had not had my adventures with Dennis (http://ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#hitting), I would likely not have much worth saying, which I cannot stress enough. It woke me up (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=309&viewfull=1#post309).

I have taken all of that and have continually tried to make sense of it, and, of course, lots of science and history (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm) have been folded into the mix. So, I do this and that, hear this and that, read this and that. Some stuff I don’t take seriously at all (“I was an exalted mystical figure in my last life!”, for instance), while other stuff I take deadly serious. When I hear this tale or that tale, I put it into the machine and see how it fits in. The sense that I have, from all that I have encountered and studied, is that Earth school is one way to do it, but far from the only way. Also, there are many evolutionary paths, both physically and how the consciousness that comes here decides to play the game. In an early stage of evolution of an ensouled species (Young Soul, usually), they may play galactic ass**ole, throwing their weight around. I have read accounts of species that were like Klingons, which were more “hive soul” like than individuals (heck, we can see that in human cultures today), where the love or fear principle was pursued more than you see on Earth today (those two Roads worlds (1 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), 2 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115)) are an example of that happening on our planet), and so on. Michael says that there are a million ensouled species in our galaxy, and I have read other sources saying that their diversity puts our most imaginative science fiction to shame.

I recall one account where two warring cultures (I seem to recall that they were on neighboring planets or star systems) made their children into energy bombs, who would infiltrate the other community and then blow themselves up, like a nuclear bomb, in the midst of the other community (today’s suicide bombers have nothing on that), and both sides eventually realized their insanity, how it threatened all of them with extinction, and they realized that raising their consciousness was the only way out, and they did, and left that craziness behind.

I’ll agree with you, that from where we sit, such behaviors can seem incomprehensible, but we are not playing their game. Heck, could you imagine living your life on Earth, getting your jollies like Max (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#hell) did? Even on Earth, people live their lives in ways that you and I can barely comprehend.

According to Ra, when those harvested move to fourth density and beyond, entire planets then “polarize,” so that one planet is filled with people whom you would call “evil,” and another is filled with those you might call saints. They don’t mix in fourth density like they do on Earth (third density), as people cannot hide their motivation like they do here. Another sense I have received is that when galaxies are younger, there is more of that galactic war stuff, as those souls have not yet figured it out. I have met people who have encountered negative aliens on Earth (those classic grays), and have also met those who had the most delightful ET experiences.

However, our corner of the galaxy is pretty civilized, and the “Federation” is busy cleaning up negativity from the region, and there are not that many pockets left, and Earth is one of them. We are an incredibly primitive species, and Godzilla’s ruling the world is a mark of our benighted condition. And those who think that they can beat him (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level9), Star Wars-style, are a bunch of spiritual adolescents.

Zoosh stated that the ideal in physical reality is 99% “the light,” and 1%, “the darkness,” which is a catalyst for growth, like a burr under the saddle. On Earth, we are obviously very far from that balance, and redeeming the darkness will be part of our species’s evolution and healing. Even with its cartoonish nature, the fall and redemption of Darth Vader echoes that theme. But people who obsess on Godzilla and the negative aspects are not ready to help me, for instance (conspiracists (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism), etc.). Neither are those who are in denial of it (structuralists (http://ahealedplanet.net/radleft.htm#religion), New Agers (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage), etc.). A loving, holistic, balanced, comprehensive (http://ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#developing) view is required to navigate that terrain. Materialism (http://ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#subtle) won’t cut it, and neither will floating off into airy fairy land. Ungrounded psychics quickly get shredded in the meat grinder, and materialists never leave the starting blocks. The scientifically illiterate (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=313&viewfull=1#post313) also cannot help much. Not many on Earth (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#socialcircle) have the package (http://ahealedplanet.net/forum/threads/86-More-on-the-helpful-prerequisites-for-forum-participation?p=307&viewfull=1#post307), but they are the people I seek.

So, Star Wars in reality? I have heard that it has happened, but long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. :) I’ll get more into the nuts and bolts of how they could happen, and how they can end, and how it relates to the human journey and where we can go (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5).

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Another “feeling older” moment, with Rickman’s death (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Rickman). Same age as Bowie. I had better get used to this.

Not enough time for a good post this morning, but…

In today’s world, about 4-to-5% of us are on the psychopath scale (AKA dark path (http://ahealedplanet.net/spirit.htm#serving)), in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672115&viewfull=1#post672115), it might be 95%, and in this world (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?32399-A-Future-Earth&p=672748&viewfull=1#post672748), it is zero. If you lived in a chimp society (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#coalitionary), you would call it run by psychopaths (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#infanticide1). But when some isolated chimps had their food supply double, they became more peaceful (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#bonobo1) than any human society ever has. When all the easy meat was gone and women began bringing in more calories than the men, it broke up the male gangs, and those were the most peaceful preindustrial cultures (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#peacefulagriculture).

I see people argue all the time that FE won’t have any transformative effects, that human “nature” is to be violent and psychopathic, and that humans are somehow fatally flawed. Environmentalists (http://ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#environmentalists) are notorious for that stance, with their fear of FE (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#level5). Science and history have invalidated those ideas. Star Wars is one of those shows that takes potentially transformative technologies and uses them as simply backdrops for cowboys and Indians stories. Star Trek is far more realistic, IMO, about what kinds of civilizations, and people, that the Fifth Epoch (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) will produce.

Time to run.

Best,

Wade
