WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Great posts, people. To Dennis’s post, yes, there is a silver-spoon-ish naïveté to Foster’s work that does not work on several levels, and that lack of discernment (at best!) of publishing a lying attack on Dennis dooms his efforts (that kind of behavior is only symptomatic of deeper problems), if he really thinks that he can play on Godzilla’s turf. I see that all the time among Westerners.

One of the great failings of white, Western, do-gooders is that they want to dictate to the world’s poor how they should go about their business, treating them like children. “Save the rainforest!” say fat Americans, whose ancestors leveled the world’s greatest temperate forest in history’s most spectacular deforestation. The rainforest is being wrecked primarily because of the West’s demands and manipulations, which few Westerners can even fathom, nor do they want to, because they would then have to accept some responsibility for the rapacious system that gives them their comfy lives.

As I have mentioned, virtually none of my “peers” – white, educated American men – can read more than a few pages of my site without blowing a gasket. When one of my college professor buddies reads this section to his classes:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/intro.htm#progress

his students stagger out of class like they have been poleaxed.

That friggin’ voice in my head, telling me to go into business, and then I got out of school during the worst recession in forty years, and then was pretty much forced to live in an urban hell for years, was part of the “tough love” of whoever sent me here. My days in Skid Row, auditing sweat shops and factories that the INS could have raided with regularity and gotten quite a haul of illegals:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...can#post406928

was a real eye-opener for me, as I glimpsed the lives of the urban poor, and these were the poor who lived in the world’s richest nation. They were the “winners” from where they came from. No cow-pie factories in their lives. Being thrown into a situation where I rescued a hooker:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post406934

and other situations from those years were preparation for meeting Dennis, I now know. If not for those years in the trenches, I would not have been able to engage in the last twenty-five years of study in anything like the way that I did, and my days with Dennis would have been a very different experience, if they would have happened at all. I still get clueless people around me who think that all that I know comes from books. When I hear that, I sigh. Virtually nobody understands.

David’s Sh*t Factory pictures will become immortal now.

Sandy, my darling, it looks like your hermit days are over for now. It sounds like you enjoyed them while they lasted, and call me envious. During my days of being in meditation, spirituality, and channeling groups, I found that when somebody devoted themselves to the “spiritual” path, or a path of service, then all hell would break loose in their lives. Be careful what you wish for, is all I can say. But we are all where we need to be, or so the spooks tell me, and you have announced yourself as a beacon, if only in your heart. You put out a welcome mat, and here they come. You are doing the work, and good luck with your flooded home.

I will be winding down this narrative that I began in July, and I hope that the next several posts are focused in energy, economy, and environment. For the past several years, I have been reading a great deal of material on energy, economy, environment, and the human journey. There are many perceptive writers on the topic, but I have yet to really find one that was not wearing blinders of one type or another, except for maybe Bucky Fuller. I am currently reading some of Vaclav Smil’s work, and while it is multidisciplinary, it falls far short of a comprehensive perspective and kind of hails from the white-bread end of the political-economic spectrum. And, of course, Bill Gates endorses his work:

http://www.thegatesnotes.com/Topics/...by-Vaclav-Smil

As with virtually all such academics, FE is not even on his list of possibilities. I have found that blindness to be far from limited to FE and its reality, but there is a general stunting of perspective that pervades their work, a kind of small-ball view that does not begin to see the big picture. They have not developed radical perspectives, which life at the university or in corporate America never really encourages.

Virtually all such historical surveys reach the present day with an “Oh, sh*t. How the heck will we find our way out of this mess?” Again, it is pretty easy to see how we are sailing off the cliff as a species. Any physical scientist with a clue can see it in what we are doing to the environment, and it is easy to see the race of catastrophes, where acidifying the oceans and raising them through carbon-dioxide-induced global warming, as well as wiping out the forests, the species, the soils, at a breakneck pace, as if humanity yearns for its self-destruction, can wreck the planet before we run out of hydrocarbon energy.

Any economist who deals in real-world measures, who refrains from boiling everything down into money so he can feed it into his computer models, can easily see the brick wall ahead. Strangely, somebody like Julian Simon understood part of the issue, which was that human ingenuity and initiative is our way out, but Simon worshipped the very system that prevented human ingenuity and initiative from being able to make a dent:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#julian

Godzilla’s mere existence blows the minds of somebody like Simon, so Godzilla’s very existence is dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” if it is acknowledged at all. Julian Simon hailed from Level 1 with his worship of capitalism:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level1

A Smil, Heinberg, and the rest of the energy academics fall into the “laws of physics” camp, dismiss the organized suppression as a “conspiracy theory,” and are among the most entrenched Level 3s:

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

Even a parent of the Open Source movement is a standard Level 3 guy:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post623703

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/freesoft.htm

but he is in good company:

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

These are all examples of the deserts that people such as Brian and I trudged through for many years. After getting a permanent hairdo change from the wind of all the doors slamming in his face:

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

Brian began to openly wonder if we are a sentient species:

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

A few years later, after digesting Bucky’s work:

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

it hit me one day that we were seeing a generalized addiction to scarcity:

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

and I eventually came to understand how deeply-baked the scarcity paradigm is, and how virtually everybody averted their eyes and refused to even glimpse abundance, or if they did (few are ever brave enough to), they immediately launched into it, trying to drag their scarcity-based baggage with them (Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11). We can’t get to abundance by dragging the baggage of scarcity with us. I learned that one over many years in this milieu, while in the trenches, or helping from the fringes, or watching from a distance.

Again, I don’t kid myself that people like Ilie are standing on every street corner. Virtually every last soul on Earth today grooves to the song of scarcity, and even a few notes of the abundance song scares them. But there will be some one-in-thousands, who have been yearning for that song their entire lives, and my goal is getting enough people like Ilie singing the notes, and then it will reach those other needles in haystacks, and like a magnet, enough will come together so that we are not taken out one at a time by our family, friends and colleagues, as they try to force us back into the herd. That is the biggest danger, not Godzilla. If enough can break free of the herd, Godzilla’s organized suppression will be easily overcome. As I continue to stress, the heavy lifting is now, to break free of the scarcity-based chains on our hearts and brains. If enough of us can do that, making FE and abundance a daily reality on this planet will be child’s play. Only when the masses can see it with their own eyes:

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

will they even begin to imagine it. That is just what it is, a lesson that it took me many years to learn. The primary way that my path will fail is if I just cannot find enough of those needles. What I have merely written on this thread since July is enough for somebody who wants to do the work. My upcoming essay is just intended to make the experience a little easier.

Time for work.

Hi:

Again, I am reading Smil’s work, but he comes across a little like Julian Simon:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm

at times. Here Smil is saying that Peak Oilers need to face reality:

http://www.american.com/archive/2013...es-of-peak-oil

http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=22886

http://www.aei-ideas.org/2010/09/pea...doomsday-myth/

He even calls them cultists, while he promotes abiotic oil theory in his books. Global production of conventional oil peaked in 2006. In a book I am reading of Smil’s from 2003, he scoffed that the peak of North Sea production would come when the Peak Oilers said, and he touted the year 2000’s record North Sea production, ending the sentence with an exclamation point (Energy at the Crossroads, p. 198). It turns out that what he touted was in fact the peak, with Norway peaking in 2000, and the UK in 1999:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predict...vidual_nations

Production has plummeted since then, with North Sea production predicted to fall to about of a third of its 1999-2000 peak by 2020. The record-breaking production that Smil is so happy about is due to that dregs-sucking activity, such as mining the tar sands, going after shale oil, fracking and the like, with the EROI plummeting for all of that marginal “oil.” And all of the exclamation points in Smil’s writings have the air of a cheerleader. With high enough oil prices, plenty of interests are going after those dregs. This activity dovetails perfectly with Peak Oil theory, so I am not sure what the Peak Oilers got wrong. While Smil ranks on the Peak Oilers, he appeared to be strangely silent on the BP Gulf Spill.

He was smoking dope when he claimed that global warming stopped:

http://deepclimate.org/2009/10/19/va...past-ten-year/

and his reading of the USA’s treatment of Iraq left a lot to be desired.

I am more than a little disappointed. When I got his books (they have been sitting in my library for several years, waiting to be read), I thought that he was more impartial. I have a number of energy and humanity books that were written by right-wingers, which may have a stray fact or two that I can use, but their deep bias makes their work highly suspect. Smil’s books are chocked full of facts, but now I am getting wary of them. He looks like another spin-meister. That said, I will use his work a little. Many of his stats are close enough for me to make my points.

Here is something that I saw today, which is a nugget from the past:

http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/lc...ts/BC43013.jpg

Promoting the Micronite filter, which was made of asbestos, is probably Fishbein’s greatest claim to lasting fame:

or infamy.

Time for bed.

Not a free energy inventor...but follow other aspects of a free world

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Smil’s obvious biases aside, his books are filled with fun facts. In 2000, the world consumed 25 times the “energy industry” energy than it did in 1900. A Boeing 747 flying across the USA generates 45 times the energy that a transcontinental train did in 1900. Part of the story is increasing energy efficiency, with today’s industrial societies between two and three times as efficient as they were 100 years ago:

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

That vast increase in energy use is what makes our modern world possible. Take the energy away, and it all comes crashing down. Smil tried to make the case that economy and energy and did not have a linear relationship, and tried to show how nations like Canada and the USA were relatively profligate in their energy use, while Japan was more efficient, but it was really on the level of quibbling.

I am going to produce some graphs from Smil’s Energy at the Crossroads to make my points, but a few concepts first. As I have stated, boiling everything down to money can make for highly misleading economic analyses, but GNP has some validity, and there is a measure called purchasing power parity (PPP) which attempts to remove the monetary bias toward the rich nations. The rich nations can rig the game (also called “setting the terms of exchange”), so an apple, for instance, may cost twice as much in relative monetary terms in a poor nation as a rich one, so PPP is an attempt to bake out that monetary bias. Energy intensity is a concept that measures how much energy is input to achieve a unit of GNP. In the images below, the one labeled “energy intensity and GNP” looks very similar to the one I created on my site more than a decade ago:

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

If you look at the USA and China, for instance, you see the energy intensity is almost identical for each of them, even though the average American is vastly wealthier than the average Chinese citizen. Smil’s graph did not have it, but mine produced Bangladesh, one of the world’s poorest and most miserable nations, which is a direct result of centuries of British exploitation:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#bengal

The energy intensity of the USA and Bengal is almost identical. If you look at Smil’s graph, from the richest to poorest nations, the energy intensity is remarkably similar. The only exceptions of note on Smil’s graph are Russia and the Ukraine, which became economic disaster areas with the fall of the Soviet Empire. One of the more instructive graphs is the one that shows Japan’s GNP and its energy consumption since 1880, when Japan began to play catch-up with the West. Look at that correlation.

GNP can be downplayed, saying that the poor nations can be as happy and well off as rich ones, but infant mortality and human development measures are far less equivocal. The human development measure used in the graph below combines life expectancy, literacy, educational enrollment, and per-capita GNP. Look at those infant mortality and human development curves when compared to energy consumption. They are not straight lines, but well-defined curves with few outliers. The curves partly reflect a concept known as declining marginal utility, which means that the greatest “returns” on investment are with the earliest ones, and as more is invested, the relative returns are smaller. Joseph Tainter stated that declining marginal returns are what ultimately collapsed civilizations:

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

as the return on energy investment in complexity declined. It is a sophisticated way of saying that the society ran out of energy. So, those curves largely reflect the notion that the marginal returns for the early investments are great, so infant mortality, for instance, improves dramatically with a minor investment of energy. And to step back from the graphs for a minute, what does that mean in real terms? What it means is that if a nation gets any energy at all, the first things it will do is improve food security and access to clean water (unless it is a U.S. client state, then the population is screwed while the USA and the local elites exploit them http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#central). Lack of those basics is what kills most infants in the poor nations. That is why you will see numbers like only $40 billion a year would end almost all infant mortality, and feed, clothe, shelter, and educate all the world's poor, and not because of vaccinations like Bill Gates touts, but because all of the world’s poor would have access to food and clean water, and clean air if they can get it. That is a tiny fraction of the USA’s military budget, and the USA is the stingiest industrialized nation on Earth:

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

And when you look at the human development and infant mortality charts, you see something curious, in that the world’s richest nation has invaded and occupies the world’s poorest, as my great nation kills off millions of people:

https://sites.google.com/site/afghan...fghan-genocide

only a generation after we used them as cannon fodder against the Soviet Union, as The Big Zbig bragged about:

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

What the hell is wrong with that picture? Looking at information like that is when I am truly ashamed to be an American, and wonder what the real difference is between the USA and Nazi Germany. Maybe that America’s Gestapo has not come for me yet?

That idea of declining return on investment also is reflected in the declining marginal efficiency in the “stages” of civilization:

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

Take a look at the energy efficiency as the stages are traveled. At every stage, the marginal improvement in efficiency is smaller, to where the difference between the energy efficiency of advanced industrial civilization (post-war USA) and industrial-technological (today’s high-tech USA) is only 1% (35% versus 36%).

Again, to make it real, an Indian housewife, making her family’s breakfast over the burning cow pie, is not getting much energy efficiency by cooking the family meal over an open flame of burning sh*t, such as maybe a 5% efficiency. An American mother, making her child’s breakfast in a microwave, is getting perhaps 40% energy efficiency from the coal being burned to power the distant electric plant, if the plant is a new one. If the plant is an older one, she is maybe only getting 30%, but still six times as efficient as the cow-pie-burning Indian housewife.

I will probably spend some posts in the near future on translating that kind of graphic information to the real world and what it means. It is only then that it can become real to most people. Graphs and number crunching are only conceptual aids. Shut off the electricity to a home, or have a car with no gasoline in its tank, or a refrigerator with no food in it, and the total dependence on energy of us comfortable Westerners becomes starkly clear. Energy does virtually all the real work in the industrialized world. All that humans do is direct it, such as when a woman steps on the gas in her car, when she flips the light switch in her home, or when a poor Mexican harvests an apple from a tree so I can have relatively cheap food at my grocery store.

That airplane that generates 45 times the power of the train makes feats “normal” that were simply not possible not long ago. Five hundred years ago, nobody had ever circumnavigated Earth. Today, I can drive down to my local airport, with credit card in hand, and leave that airport less than a week later, after having circumnavigated Earth. And if I wanted to do it first class, I could have done it in pampered comfort. Some airlines are really going the elite route, where some planes don’t have seats, but suites, where people can lounge around, sleep on a bed, and so on. Of course, going to the moon is the most energy-intensive feat that a human ever performed.

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo

And as that plane went an order of magnitude faster than that train, those moon-bound humans traveled at another order of magnitude (and about two, at times) faster than the plane. It is all about energy.

I like Earl Cook’s work better than Smil’s, and Cook’s quote on the role of energy is still about the best I have seen:

“The principle that labor, when applied to energy resources, can be returned many times in new forms is the basis and hope of modern society.”

Time for work.

Hi CD7:

Thanks for reading. I am looking for three kinds of needles.


1. Needles that will simply lend their awareness to the issue. They will read my threads and site, just think about the information, do their homework, and raise their awareness. I may never hear from those people, and that is OK. That work is still valuable. They also may interact with me anonymously at Avalon. It is not easy to even interact with my material and hold it in one’s head. Very few of my “peers” can.

2. Needles that will become part of the public conversation that I plan to mount after I publish my big essay. They will have a little more skin in the game. They will all use real names and faces, and they will form the “choir” that I have in mind. Already people like Ilie, Sandy, and others on my threads are hitting their particular notes, notes that I would like to hear in chorus one day soon, and I think it will help humanity turn the corner.

3. If that chorus gets going as I imagine that it can, it will attract the attention of a different kind of needle, the needle that will eventually get active and maybe make an FE quilt.


Right now, I am very happy with the Number 1 needles who just read and ponder. It really is important work, just thinking clearly and thinking toward abundance, particularly in comprehensive terms. Most who I am reaching will be Number 1 needles. Some have been in Number 2 Needle tryouts, although they likely did not think that they were. I will be reaching out to various singers to join that choir one day. As I have stated plenty, Ilie is the gold standard of what I have in mind.

I really will have my hands full for the rest of my life just getting that choir going and making sure that it stays on track. I need to raise my own game to do that, and I plan to. Members of the choir will be singers, not soldiers. Some may graduate from singing to soldiering, but I am certainly not going to ask anybody to do that. I barely survived the battlefield myself, and have no desire to get back on it. For those who want to go play soldier, the greatest FE warrior I ever met or heard of is still at it, but he is getting pretty old. If somebody plans to become an FE soldier, the tests that await will be like these:

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

and I only know of one person who passed all of those particular tests. I am not looking for anybody like that, but if a dozen at that level joined forces, FE would be well on its way to becoming a daily reality for humanity, and none too soon. I have played spear carrier to the great, and I will likely always function in a support role, and the choir is really just a support function, but a support function that has never been seen before on this planet. I don’t know if my idea will work, but I am going to try. What exactly it might grow into, I am not sure, but we will see. Godzilla is watching, and I am being patient and cautious, not only for my sake, but for people such as Ilie and Sandy. I already have enough blood on my hands for this lifetime, and don’t want any more. I may still get into trouble, but I am going to try to avoid it.

Time for watching a little Star Trek with my wife. Somebody needs to do it.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On this thread since July, I have given the basics of energy and its role in life on Earth and the human journey. The perspectives on that role that I have presented have been many, from Cook to Tainter to Homer-Dixon to Catton to Heinberg to Smil to O’Leary. When the issue is evolution, mass extinctions and the rise of humans, whether it is Lane or Ward or Wrangham or Wilson or Francis (Darwin’s work was done before the science of energy was developed, and early work like that, including Marx, was deficient due to that pre-scientific era), the story is always primarily about energy. How an organism gets it, how it preserves it, how it uses it – these are the central issues. Ever since life appeared, it has also been a story of life acquiring more energy, using it more efficiently, and finding new and better niches for living. Life has in turn shaped Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere, but life has also wiped itself out in mass extinctions. Ward’s Medea Hypothesis is not easily dismissed:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post569619

The rise of humans took the game to new levels, where human manipulative ability (our hands) led to a new energy practice – the control of fire – which in turn led to our increasing brain size:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post561572

and the human journey has been primarily one of using our intelligence and manipulative ability to wrest more energy from the environment. That journey has seen humans burn through one energy resource after another, from megafauna to forests to soils to fur-bearing animals to whales to passenger pigeons. People also have used each other up over the course of history, working them to death as slaves, or exterminating them to seize their energy resources, such as the dispossession of the American Indian and Australian Aborigine.

Humanity is currently burning through the most prodigious energy resource yet discovered – the coal, oil, and gas trapped in Earth’s crust, which is the detritus from eras of Earth’s ecosystems, from the first trees that laid down the coal beds:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post527620

to the periodic laying down of carbon-rich sediments during anoxic ocean events that provided the basis for the oil deposits:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post553859

There is little reasonable doubt that that is how the coal and oil deposits were laid down (natural gas is also a byproduct of those events), and there is also no reasonable doubt that the coal beds will never be laid down on Earth again, and when the oil and gas are gone, if we just wait around for another few hundred million years or so, more will form. We are also reaching “Peak Uranium,” so that even if we went the insane fission route to "solve" our energy problems, that era would be over in the next century or so, if we don’t wipe ourselves out first. The Fukushima event is just the latest fission catastrophe, and it won’t be the last, if we continue on this insane trajectory.

There is also no reasonable doubt that our orgy of burning up the hydrocarbons is having environmental effects, such as acidifying the oceans and warming the atmosphere by increasing its carbon dioxide content by about half during the industrial era. It is only a more dramatic effect of what humans have been doing to Earth’s atmosphere for the past several thousand years.

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post550716

In this continuing catastrophe of burning and destruction, the question reasonably arises if humans are really a sentient species, and if we are not just a more complex version of an algal bloom, using up the resources as fast as we possibly can, to then die off once the energy has all been burned through:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post539260

Those arguments are not easily dismissed, not at all, but I am going to see if I can prove them wrong, or maybe a better way to say it is I am going to see if humanity can really become a sentient species. While we are trapped in our cycles of scarcity, seeing no further than our egocentric perspectives, we are on the sled ride to oblivion, and the ride is picking up speed.

From my own experiences in the trenches, and the experiences of my few fellow travelers, I came to understand that an energy supply that is about as unlimited as we can imagine was tapped long ago:

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

but the people in charge today, who are in charge precisely because humanity has not mustered sufficient integrity and sentience, has kept that energy source from public awareness and use. They do not do it out of some fear that humanity cannot handle the unprecedented freedom that would come with tapping that energy source, and they certainly don’t fear some kind of damage to the space-time continuum by tapping that energy source. Those people keep that energy source “undiscovered” because keeping energy seemingly scarce is how they control humanity, which they regard as a huge herd that they milk. The more power-addicted in that group plan to flee to Mars if Earth becomes uninhabitable, and those fears are not crazy. If humanity does not wake up and claim its collective sentience, and soon, it could well be game over for that upright ape that learned to control fire. Do we prove Godzilla right, in his disdain for our benighted species, or do we wake up? If enough of us do, something like heaven on Earth is not far off:

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

If not, then Scotty can beam me up whenever he wants.

I will make a few more “modern era” posts to show what the tapping of fossil fuel energy has meant for modernity, and I will also show how close that era is to ending, as we are now in the early stages of a depletion crisis that is merely a replay of all previous depletion crises that humans have created as they burned through their energy resources. It is just being acted out on a scale that dwarfs all previous depletion crises.

Time for work.

Best,

Wade

I am not looking for anybody like that, but if a dozen at that level joined forces, FE would be well on its way to becoming a daily reality for humanity, and none too soon. I have played spear carrier to the great, and I will likely always function in a support role, and the choir is really just a support function, but a support function that has never been seen before on this planet. I don’t know if my idea will work, but I am going to try. What exactly it might grow into, I am not sure, but we will see. Godzilla is watching, and I am being patient and cautious, not only for my sake, but for people such as Ilie and Sandy. I already have enough blood on my hands for this lifetime, and don’t want any more. I may still get into trouble, but I am going to try to avoid it.

Time for watching a little Star Trek with my wife. Somebody needs to do it.

Best,

Wade

Very encouraging plans...

Although I have not had the opportunity to read through most of this thread...I'm picking up snipets along the way. So before I go into too much discussion, I need to go through more of this thread. I will say, to b honest, I'm an artist tht operates more through the heart...love to create things and not so much into the written word in lengthy amounts. Lol..which makes it interesting at times when there are threads tht request study of an article or even video. I tend to b more spontaneous. --in any event many of us are operating from different areas in the brain But our hearts are in the same place. Pull all these different perspectives together to initiate positive impact on humanity..now were talking!

Looking forward to learning more about your intentions :-)

[Wade Frazier]

Hi CD7:

Artisans are important for my plan. I am an artisan soul, or so I am told:

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

But I am looking for people who can engage their left brain, too. From what I have seen, the people who have the best chance of understanding have their hearts in the right place above all else, and have both sides of their brain engaged. They have the creative spark and eye of the artist, but also the discriminating mental horsepower that goes with being a scientist. Otherwise, they have a difficult time distinguishing the forest from the trees and easily get lost. On the fringes are a million time-wasters, with stuff that does not amount to anything, but they develop huge followings of the undiscerning, gullible, inexperienced, and naïve. The New Age is full of hazards like that:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage

but there is also a great deal of invalid fringe “science,” vying for the public’s attention, sending them down the rabbit holes. There is also conspiracism and other tabloid titillations that distract people and waste time.

My work is somewhat close to Bucky Fuller’s, and helping my readers develop a comprehensive perspective is my goal:

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

Once readers can accomplish that, the energy situation will come front and center. But the so-called free energy field is in a state of arrested development, dominated by scientists and inventors, chasing money and trying to establish primacy for their invention or theory. It is in a state of arrested development for a few reasons, not the least of which is organized suppression:

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

but almost everybody who gets past the denial that free energy is even possible:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level0

gets spun up in thinking that the inventor’s path to free energy has promise, or the capitalist route, etc. The people running the show have made sure that all avenues like that are closed off, and they are perilous even if there was no organized suppression, but there is an endless stream of fools with inventor-it is, delusions of grandeur:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur

dreams of riches, and other defects which keep the field in the state that it is. At least fifty thousand have tried and failed. Getting to a productive understanding of the issues is like walking the razor’s edge, and I have almost never found anybody who could. Brian O’Leary held the perspective closest to mine in the free energy field:

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

but he also came from the academic side of the house, while I came from the real world end of it, going through the meat grinder, and like every other American free energy activist that I have encountered, Brian could never quite get the taste of the red-white-and-blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. Nationalism is one of the many scarcity-based ideologies that people have to shed in order to understand abundance:

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

It is anything but an easy task, and I have almost never met or heard of anybody who was able to accomplish it, but I am looking for people who want to try, because on the other side of the hump, if we can make it over it, is something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth:

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

instead of the sled-ride to oblivion that humanity is on these days. The people running Earth today do not have a kind regard for humanity, but regard us as a herd to be milked, and slaughtered when our usefulness expires. Killing off the planet is one of very possible outcomes of the game being played, and humanity has effortlessly obliged the social managers. When the situation is taken in, the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species understandably arises:

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

I know that free energy, antigravity, and other world-changing technologies exist:

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

but we don’t get any while we are collectively asleep and our own worst enemies. I am taking a different approach to it, and we will see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I am officially on sabbatical. After ten years straight at my day job, it is time to take a break. If I am lucky, I will have the rest of the year off. I have a pretty long tally of bucket list chores to do. This will likely be the last break of my career. I will be making some posts over on the Future Earth thread, a summary of my energy-and-human journey posts on this thread since July will go on my site, as a prelude to the essay that I will be writing this year. Then we will see if I can leverage it into building a choir. As I think is evident for those who have been reading this thread since July, the subject matter covers a daunting range of topics, and that breadth is why it has taken me so long to get to the point where I felt that I could do a credible job of tackling the subject matter. I have been juggling my career, my marriage, my health, and, always, my time, for the past several years.

As you all know, the essay will be energy-centric, but will present a comprehensive view of the role of energy in the journey of life on Earth, including the trajectory of that seemingly sentient ape, humanity. It will be a more refined version of the topics that I have covered on this thread since July, but will go more deeply, and there will be new insights offered in it.

I will be making some more energy and the modern age posts in the next week or so, and then I will likely be going fairly quiet at Avalon while I write that essay and get the bucket list chores done. I may put pieces of the draft on this thread as I write it, but it is too early to tell. Essays like the one I will be writing go through plenty of revisions, backwards and forwards writing and editing, deep rumination, and so on. Bringing all the pieces together into a coherent, paradigmatic whole will likely be the greatest challenge. I also needed the peace of mind that this break will give me to hit the notes that I need to hit, if this is going to make a dent.

I feel plenty of motivation to get all of my agenda done during my break, but not having to punch the clock for the long hours will remove a great deal of the pressure. Already, I am getting people trying to grab my time, but this will need to be my time, to get a bunch of my life list activities finished, not somebody else’s.

Time to do chores and a little decompressing, including a little hiking.

Best,

Wade

[sheme]

Blessings to you and your family Wade. know Peace in this time.

[sandy]

Dear Wade,

A Great Big YEAH!!! Time for you, your bucket list and your passion. Behind you all the way and if there is anything I can do to be supportive in anyway please do not hestitate to call on me.

Summer is around the corner and a great time for hiking and bucket lists and the wonderful thing about taking care of you is the energy flows and the essay will too!! At least that is my opinion and I'm sticking too it Love to you and yours and much joy in this break away from the rat race my Dear, Dear Brother.

[Dennis Leahy]

Hi Wade,

Funny, but I suspect that you will burn more calories on sabbatical than in your "day gig." Nor will stress disappear, because you are driven.

However, you will have control over when to take breaks ("mental pauses") and those breaks can (and I suspect will) be deeply refreshing, spiritually fulfilling, and will recharge your batteries even more than anyone - even you - might guess.

As you go through your levels of decompression (hey, we don't want a case of the "bends!"), I hope that you have cause and circumstance to laugh. Not just chuckle, but laugh so hard your knees buckle and your belly and face hurt, and tears run down your cheeks. Zen-catharsis-laughter. This happened to me after one of the most stressful periods of my life, and even the memory of it is exhilarating.

Meld with your wife - mind, body, and soul - and thank her again again from me, for being a rock when you need grounding, for being like Lao Tzu's supple branch when you need flexibility, and for unselfishly sharing you with all of us (humanity.)

Wish I was close enough to be able to effectively help you by taking some mundane task(s), and hope you won't hesitate to accept any help I can provide (like proofreading, for example.)

Sending love and energy to you. :~)

Dennis

[Wade Frazier]

Hi all:

Thanks for all of the encouragement and kind words. I am getting a lot of “you won’t know what to do with yourself” comments, or “this decompression will take a while.” Actually, this won’t be hard. I have been in far worse shape before.

Right out of college, when the record-test-setting prodigy did not want to live in LA and instead tried to make it in Seattle, to only by thrown into the breach on day one, I had a headache every waking hour for my entire tenure at that company:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post578139

I did not know what it came from, but eventually realized that it was my first stress episode. Then I crawled back to LA, and even applied for food stamps before I landed the job:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post497877

Then it was a descent into hell. The office environment was a shark tank, and I worked in Skid Row, and after adjusting to hell:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...rst#post406928

walking past a dead body did not even elicit comment:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...oot#post319133

But that is when my drinking problems began, and I could not get a lungful of air for an entire year, and my doctor told me to quit my job or else face a health catastrophe, and I was only 27:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post406934

Not long after rescuing that hooker:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ker#post406934

I asked that voice for guidance, for the second and last time of my life:

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

to walk into Dennis’s company the next week. And then my adventures really began. Again, the account on my site leaves out plenty that would make it seem far more preposterous than it already appears, and getting Dennis’s books will fill in some of the gaps. When I met Dennis, he said that I was shaking. It was from excitement, but I was also fried from stress. My roommate, whom I moved in with a couple of weeks after Dennis hired me, later told me that I looked like I was forty years old when I met him, and I lost all of those extra years from my appearance over the next several months, and I looked normal again. As I have written, 1986 was the happiest year of my life, as I was pursuing my life’s work and hiking in the mountains every weekend, even though I starved that year.

Then I chased Dennis to Boston, became his partner within a couple of months of arriving, and that is when I really began to grow up:

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

Being attacked by friends, wondering if I was going to be murdered, getting evidence of Godzilla’s interest, working 70-hour weeks again, and our project not really taking off, took its toll, and my drinking problems returned, along with my stress problems. And then Dennis ended up moving the entire operation to Ventura, my hometown, which was the last place on Earth where I wanted to move, and I did not know why we moved there until reading it in Dennis’s book several years later. Then I jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Three years later, I was radicalized with my life shattered. By the spring of 1988, I was in full stress-breakdown mode. People told me that I looked like a raccoon, the rings around my eyes were so dark.

I have no doubt that the same voice in my head was also the source of the “divine intervention” that happened when I sacrificed my life to give Dennis a sliver of a chance in the evil proceedings:

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

That voice piped up, unbidden, many years later, as I was literally burying Mr. Professor:

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

whose life was ruined and shortened by his involvement in my adventures.

After five years of 60-hour weeks at my job in Ohio, as I put my wife through graduate school:

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

I reached the end of my rope again, and actually went on Prozac for a brief period (what a nightmare!), and then stepped down from my job, to only succumb to Dennis’s multi-year recruiting effort to get me back in the saddle with him, and I spent the winter of 1996-1997 in New Jersey, while my wife lived in the Bay Area, and I saw her once a month, with only our cats to keep me company. That entire winter was like a bad dream, even leaving aside that I was probably close to going to prison that time, as Godzilla took the game to a new level:

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

When Dennis let me move home that spring, it took me the rest of the year to really decompress. It was then that I decided that I could not afford another stress breakdown. But I am a “high achiever” and am in high-stress high tech, playing in the same puddles as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Apple, Amazon, etc. I am an old man in high tech, who will turn 55 soon, but even though I am feeling a bit worn out, this is nothing compared to the other times.

At the office on Friday, there was kind of a surprise party for me, and it was almost like the ending to It’s a Wonderful Life, and nearly brought me to tears. And almost none of them know about my “other” life, or what I really plan to do with my break. I doubt that any of them will read my upcoming essay, and would be blown away if they did. I am the first person in my company’s history to get this kind of break, and my CFO had to fight for me to get it.

But “decompressing” this time will be quite easy for me, as I am not very compressed to begin with, not compared to how I was in the past.

Going hiking with my wife now. Somebody has to do it.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

First, a little on the decompression. I have gone hiking twice in the past 24 hours, and plan to hike every day in the coming week, as the weather will be glorious, and glorious weather in May is one of the chief reasons why I live here. It can be stunning all the way through October here, and August is really Seattle’s showcase month, when everybody who visits here then wants to come live here. But we pay for all of that loveliness with several months of rain. I love the rain, too, so I am definitely in my element here, but spring is my favorite time of the year, and hiking season is really about following spring up the mountainsides. I have been seeing blossoms since February, and that will continue until autumn is over.

I have stated that my keen interest in nature was remarked on by my first grade teacher:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ade#post495114

so I came here wired that way, but that voice at age nineteen took me on a different path than a scientific career:

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

and it has been the past ten years that I really resumed my science studies in earnest, although I was expecting to do it after I retired, in a university setting. It really kind of snuck up on me, and was not really a conscious intention, but as I did it, I began to don my scientist’s lenses again. In the images below is one taken of the “brush” literally a couple hundred yards from the freeway, at the beginning of the trail that I hiked yesterday and this morning. I look at that lush brush with a sense of wonder that recalls my childhood fascination. In that image are horsetail, ferns, berry bushes, a cedar tree, and a deciduous tree. The horsetails are known as living fossils. They are the earliest “trees.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree#Evolutionary_history

and are living fossils today, with all of their close relatives extinct:

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

The first “trees” were also ferns, and those ferns in that image have nearly as ancient a pedigree as those horsetails. The cedar trees are conifers, which are only a little younger than the ferns and horsetails:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifer#Evolution

The deciduous tree and the berry bushes are relative newcomers, as flowering plants really got going only about 130 million years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evoluti...plants#Flowers

This morning’s catch included violets (yellow ones)

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

http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-d...ennial/violet/

and trillium, which turn purple as they “ripen.” Walking through that lush leprechaun land with my wife is as good as my life gets.

While it is too late in this life to become a botanist, biologist, physicist, and so on, scientists think in matter-and-energy terms, and I have been honing that eye for quite a while. During my studies, I thought about why trees only grow so tall, and I figured that the ability to “pump” or “suck” water up that high would be the limiting variable, and recently, scientists have shown it to be the case, as they studied the treetops of the coastal redwoods of California:

http://www.sfgate.com/science/articl...ow-2764144.php

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20631010

http://www.wonderquest.com/Redwood.htm

One thing that I will be trying to impart to my readers is to help get them thinking in matter-and-energy terms, and not just about natural ecosystems, but the unnatural ecosystems that people have created, beginning when they began to burn vegetation to flush out animals to kill and make the vegetation more suitable to human exploitation, and progressing through the domestication of plants and animals to the fossil-fuel-fired urban environments of today. It always has been primarily a matter-and-energy story, but humans, with their hands and brains, changed the game. In many ways, humans are no more “sentient” than horsetails, and in others, their potential sentience is what will allow us to turn the corner and not die off by our own hand.

A little more on that later, as I will soon be getting to the very nub of my argument; what the potential of FE is, and why humans can change the game on Earth in truly unprecedented ways. Instead of being just one more animal, scrapping for survival in a world of scarcity, we can become a truly sentient species that lives in abundance, and all of life on Earth will benefit, not just that upright ape. The increase in the standard of living that came with industrialization only hints of the potential of FE, and I will be exploring that soon, why we have a chance to turn the corner, and why we do not need to listen to the “human nature” refrain that come from many corners, as they justify genocide and a host of horrors, as being how humanity is “wired,” as if it was some immutable aspect of our beings. I disagree, and FE is the greatest window of opportunity that I know of to get us over the hump into becoming a truly sentient species.

But it is time for chores now. May is going to be a busy month, getting many chores done in preparation for my sabbatical activities (when I am not hiking, of course )

Best,

Wade

[Dennis Leahy]

I stand corrected. You sound pretty dadgum decompressed to me. :~)

Dennis

[Wade Frazier]

Hey Dennis:

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

Back to chores.

Best,

Wade

[CdnSirian]

Fast forward a few years...the Fraziers are hiking along a particularly sunny area when shadows dapple the trail. They look up. A few pods hover about a hundred feet up. The grinning PA/WF Threaders float down. "Thought we'd join you Wade"!

Wade waves good-naturedly, then turns to his wife, eyebrows knitting. "There goes the neighbourhood"!

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

As I have written plenty, some scientific literacy is really needed in order to develop a comprehensive perspective. People don’t need degrees in physics, but they need to understand the basics of science. They don’t need degrees in math, but innumeracy can be a great hindrance. For instance, hydrogen power and biofuels have been touted in the media for many years now, and both are completely crazy “solutions” that depend on the public’s scientific illiteracy and innumeracy so that they don’t get laughed at.

As I have stated plenty, EROI is the key to measuring energy resource viability.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EROEI#E...uence_of_EROEI

Oil’s EROI in the USA has fallen from over a hundred during the glory days of East Texas oil to less than five today. Globally, oil’s EROI will sink to under ten in a decade. Biofuels have an EROI of about one, and even less than one in some measures. EROI is not standardized and has its limits, but it is the key measure of economic health. It also does not measure environmental impact, social costs, and the like, which makes nuclear energy an inane “solution,” and burning hydrocarbon fuels is warming Earth’s atmosphere and is acidifying the oceans, the USA has been committing genocide to secure Middle East oil, and we are far from done, but our rivals are not going to stand back forever while we steal all the oil, which could well lead to World War III and some kind of Mad Max future, among many other nightmare scenarios that are eminently possible. The EROI for hydrogen power is less than one. Hydrogen is only a way to store energy (Mills’s hydrino concept aside, with is only using hydrogen to tap the ZPF), and biofuels, particularly when using actual food such as corn, have the charm of taking food calories and putting them into a car’s gas tank, literally taking food out of mouths and putting them into engines. One tank of SUV biofuel can provide a year’s worth of calories for a person.

What EROI makes very clear is that all of the easy energy that powered the Industrial Revolution is gone, as humanity has burned through all of the easily-obtained hydrocarbons. As I have written previously, Brian O was looking for an assistant in his last years to crunch the numbers on alternative energy (wind and solar, primarily), to show how those solutions were too little, too late. The numbers are just not there. At best, they could make the West somewhat energy self-sufficient, quite a ways down the development curve, but the West is a tiny fraction of humanity. To get all of humanity to just American levels of energy use is far beyond the horizon of today’s alternatives, and none of that will be abundant, either. True energy abundance is probably up an order of magnitude or three above today’s American levels, and only FE can do that. And that would also be available for all peoples, not just those first out of the gate (Britain, the USA, and Western Europe) who intentionally held everybody else back.

As I wrote yesterday,

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post670677

scientists think about nature in matter-and-energy terms, and their key insights rarely stray far from that framework. The energy situation is the basic one that all life has to deal with. If that is not taken care of, the rest does not matter. Humanity is in the same situation, apes that we are.

One hazard of the fringes, which my work and Avalon qualifies as, is that there is a mountain of chaff for every grain of wheat, and I have seen it lead so many people astray into the rabbit holes and dead ends. I certainly do not make the case that orthodoxy has all the answers:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/orthodox.htm#orthodoxy

but people at least need to understand the orthodox position so that they can evaluate alternatives. Far too often, the first encounter by fringe people with relativity or evolution is some fringe claimant who makes the case that Einstein or Darwin was wrong, but that lay reader does not even know how Einstein or Darwin was right. Carl Sagan was a dishonest hack when he played Grand Inquisitor of the scientific establishment:

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

but that did not make Velikovsky right. Velikovsky and Sitchin were into literal interpretations of ancient texts, when such a view is really strained and uncalled for. Both were in over their heads when trying to interpret Sumerian cuneiform tablets, and no professional astronomer takes Velikovsky’s planetary theories seriously. I don’t like using the terms pseudoscience and quack, but Velikovsky’s work was not valid, as far as I can tell. People such as Brian O never endorsed Velikovsky’s planetary billiards scenario, and neither did Einstein, although Velikovsky had his ear. The catastrophic interpretation of the extinction of the mammoth, for instance, has many flaws and I highly doubt that it has any validity. The buried mammoths that are regularly found in the permafrost were likely buried when glacial dams burst, which were truly catastrophic events, but relatively local in nature. The only variable that accounts for both the mammoth extinction and all other large animals is the arrival of humans:

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

Even after Velikovsky, there have been scientists who have made the case for catastrophic celestial events, and they may well have happened, but there is no way that they can account for the global extinction of megafauna soon after humans arrived, whether it was Australia 50K years ago, the Western Hemisphere less than 20K years ago, or New Zealand less than a thousand years ago. Sitchin’s inhabited planet that has a three-thousand year, highly-elliptical orbit, is way out there, literally. Similarly, when I have seen the Hancocks and other ancient history revisionists go up against the professionals, their theories don’t fare so well. I am well aware of how dishonest the debunkers can be, but if you interact with professionals who are specialists in the subject matter that those revisionists grind their axes on, the revisionist grasp of the material is weak, at best. Similarly, there is a cottage industry of alternative cosmology, where the theorists and their followers are not professionals in the field, and they have interpretations of solar phenomena, for instance, that are filled with gaffes and howlers that make it hard to take them seriously. I keep seeing neo-Velikovskian works get published with regularity, and the author is some humanities student or other non-scientific credential, and they rehash the same old stuff that was convincingly discredited long ago.

I see the same dynamic with all the “evidence” that we never landed on the moon recycled ad infinitum:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#apollo

in a conspiracist fantasy that looks like it will never go away, like the flat earth “theories.”

For a very recent example of conspiracism at its worst, work your way through the “analysis” that began the day after the Boston Marathon bombings, with “false flag” immediately touted, when the suspects were not even identified, with the victims, in various stages of injury, including some deaths, were denigrated as actors in a false flag event, with highly equivocal image “analysis.” Again, I never wholly accept the official explanation for anything. I have no doubt that JFK was murdered in what was, at minimum, a backfired covert op:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#wean

but my jury is still out on 9/11:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/cover-up.htm#sept11

for instance, and I have watched as much disinformation get created and spun around 9/11 as I have the moon landings. That shooting at that Connecticut grade school was similarly painted in “false flag” tones the next day by the conspiracists. There is an academic who shall go nameless right now, but as I was studying the JFK assassination long ago, he became a newcomer, and his work even back then was a bit suspect, and I have watched him jump aboard the 9/11 conspiracist bandwagon (I tried to warn him off of the Apollo hoax theories, and I think I may have dissuaded him on that subject) and other “false flag” events, and after the Marathon Bombings, I saw him immediately promote the most strained interpretation of events, such as the “actor” angle on all of those people killed and wounded. I have just about lost all respect for his work, and I am now wondering if his incessant conspiracism is not a “false flag” in itself, stirring up the conspiracist waters, getting them all hyperventilating, as they rush out and buy more guns.

Similarly, while I have seen UFOs with my own eyes, and I saw them put on a show when asked:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/ufo.htm#call

my jury is still out on what they are and what their intentions are, although they are obviously not hostile, and being shot at by the military is the height of insanity. When Brian O got involved with UFOs, America’s military tried to kill him:

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

and I have little doubt that what my friend was shown:

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

was at least partly developed by reverse-engineering captured ET craft, just as Greer’s Disclosure Project witnesses have stated. It is a strange universe, and I have no doubt that plenty is being covered up, but most of what passes for evidence for Nibiru, ancient advanced civilizations, a hollow Earth and so on, is fantasy, a poor interpretation of the evidence, or outright disinformation.

Another cottage industry among the scientifically illiterate and ax-grinders is attacking evolution. But those who do the attacking are usually defending their Bible-based view of the world. No professional scientist denies the validity of evolution. But the best of them know that the story of evolution is one of history and process, not intent:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn2

There are plenty of materialist “skeptics” and other worshippers of science’s theories, with the recent spectacle of Hawking stating that the theories of physics do away with the need for a creator. Einstein and friends would not have agreed with the logic promoted by Sagan and Hawking:

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

In his The Origin of the Species, Darwin speculated that the latter part of the Mesozoic (which was called the “Secondary Period” back then) was perhaps older than 300 million years. That was more than a generation before radioactivity was even discovered, a century before plate tectonic theory was developed, and Darwin was not that far off. The late Mesozoic was more like 100 million years ago, not 300 million:

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

but that was not bad at all, with what they had to work with back then. He was a lot closer than the six thousand years of the Book of Genesis. Back in the 1990s, when I had a public email address and took on all comers, I was regularly approached by people grinding their “Darwin was wrong” ax, which was really “The Bible is right” ax. It took some time for me to digest their arguments and evidence, and it was one of my early investigations of the fringes that showed me how gloriously wrong that stuff could be, and how impervious to the evidence such “theorists” could be.

But that in no way made the materialists right, and Einstein and friends were keenly aware of the limits of science. Again, do a remote viewing:

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

and the materialist conceits of establishment science collapse. Everybody whom I respect in the FE field had a mystical awakening, which was often responsible for their efforts in the first place. If Godzilla’s Golden Hoard was put on display, today’s physics texts would be good for little else than becoming doorstops. But that does not make the fringe theorists right. Again, there is a mountain of chaff for every kernel of wheat. The microscopes of Rife and Naessens are definitely wheat, and their scopes’ resolutions have been defying orthodox optical theory for nearly a century:

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

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

but their findings threaten one of the world’s greatest rackets, and they have been ignored by establishment science ever since Fishbein (a quack if there ever was one) and his cronies went after Rife:

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

I have long stated that the battles between the Creationist and Materialists is a battle between the Baby Souls and the Young Souls:

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

and their perspectives are both lopsided. Again, I know that a great deal is being kept under wraps, officially in the name of “national security,” but in reality it is all about keeping Godzilla’s racket intact. It is hard to say what all is being kept hidden, although I know it is a great deal, and those who claim to know what it all is are probably spinning disinformation, either unwittingly or as part of their jobs. I know that many in the disinformation crowd are on the payroll, as Bill the BPA Hit Man certainly was:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/hitman.htm

As Mr. Skeptic probably is:

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

and how Mr. Texas likely was, at least while he was doing his dirty work:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...ell#post585787

But to get orthodox for a moment, evolutionary theorists are confident that they will eventually be able to derive a convincing theory of how life first appeared, as the random activities of atoms, bound together as molecules, as the dynamics at the atomic and molecular level played out in the miraculous instance when somehow a self-sustaining reaction was created, and the reaction somehow was able to reproduce itself. Call me skeptical that they will ever derive a convincing theory. But even if they do, it will have nothing to say whatsoever about consciousness or any intent behind that “miracle.” There may well be goodies in the Golden Hoard that will provide evidence otherwise, but I think that the consciousness/matter connection is too subtle to be measured by today’s instruments, if it will ever be. I doubt that they will ever manufacture consciousness in a lab.

That does not mean that conscious and matter don’t interact. Indeed, matter and energy are likely manifestations of the creator’s consciousness. But increasing brain size, which goes back hundreds of millions of years, in the reptile line that became mammals, allowed for more “intelligent” animals, whatever that means. I have had some conscious interaction with plants, so I have a respect for them that a scientist might not. I do as little damage as I can to plants and animals when I hike, for instance.

But early on, life stole from life, through grazing and predation, and that is our heritage. I read Zoosh once say that life eating each other is not universal, so on some other planets, all life “rolls its own,” energy and nutrient-wise. Even if we dismiss that as mystical mumbo-jumbo, humans are a unique evolutionary creature. Our mastery of fire allowed our brains to grow in the most dramatic evolutionary trend in all of the history of life on Earth:

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

and we humans have a unique ability to manipulate our environment, and form social networks that no other animals can aspire to, not even whales and dolphins, which are more on the band level of social organization, like hunter-gatherers. As the spiritual masters have demonstrated quite well, the human potential is most amazing in its ability to love. Love just might be the most mysterious force in the universe, and I think that it is the road to the creator:

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

and there are very practical and mystical reasons why free energy and love are joined at the hip, which is why fearful approaches to the free energy issue are doomed (Levels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11: http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level6 ).

Even the hardest-core materialist has to admit that with free energy, exploiting the ecosystems for human benefit quickly becomes unnecessary. Warfare over scarce resources (the primary motivation behind all wars) would also become obsolete. And even so-called “human nature” – that heritage and baggage that we carry around with us – does not have to define our future and potential at all. With virtually unprecedented brains and the ability to manipulate our environment, who is to say what our potential is?

I know that the pieces exist, today, to make this reality not very far off at all:

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

No scientist worth two-cents would stubbornly deny that such futures would beckon with a world based on FE and abundance, and any scientists that play the Level 3 game, calling FE impossible and against the laws of physics, are the same hacks that called heavier-than-air flight “impossible”:

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

or who laughed the LAMCO founders out of engineering offices, because heat pump COPs of seven were “impossible”:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#seven

The danger is thinking that scientists and engineers are the bastion of rationality and clear thinking. I have found them to be among the most irrational and naïve groups that I have encountered:

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

when their oxen are getting gored, which is kind of bizarre. As the Brookings Institute informed NASA, the group that might be the most threatened by intelligent, extraterrestrial life would be scientists:

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

As I have stated, getting to a productive understanding of these issues is like walking the razor’s edge, but it can be done, if people are willing to do the work, keep their eyes open and be willing to relinquish what they “know,” which is usually something they were “taught,” not something that they discovered through their own personal experience.

My busy day begins.

Boy, Wade, You ask people to walk on a tightrope, in high altitude with a rod in their hand and keep the balance. Such Individuals who are able to maintain equilibrium need an extraordinary talent to distinguish and be able to use a different part of the brain each time. It seems that the requirment is to use both sides, but not necessarily in an equal measure. One side examines the facts and uses logic (evidence) and the other one allows curiosity and hypotheses to take the reins and stay open to all possibilities.
Many people tend more towards one side over the other, therefore, the balance you require is a rare feature (On the one hand to rely on the tools of science to diagnose and to draw conclusions, on the other hand what we deal with - Free Energy, does not at all exist in terms of this same science), and this mix is a main ingredient in your winning reciepe

When you throw mysticism into this equation all the different variables change once again and more things need to be taken into account.
This comprehensive thinking you require, If I may be so bold to suggest, is quite a complex process which is not only satisfied with adopting a wider perspective but requires some kind of a special method or combination of removing the chaff from the wheat.

Until orthodox and unorthodox can combine themselvs and create a hybrid and materialists and theorists can do the same, until then, I will pray that enough of us will be able to see what you see and use a good amount of discernment but not so much as to limit ourselves from moving into the uncharted regions, becuase these are important as well.

I wish you an enjoyable both sides of the brain sabbatical

Hi CD7:

Artisans are important for my plan. I am an artisan soul, or so I am told:

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

But I am looking for people who can engage their left brain, too. From what I have seen, the people who have the best chance of understanding have their hearts in the right place above all else, and have both sides of their brain engaged. They have the creative spark and eye of the artist, but also the discriminating mental horsepower that goes with being a scientist. Otherwise, they have a difficult time distinguishing the forest from the trees and easily get lost. On the fringes are a million time-wasters, with stuff that does not amount to anything, but they develop huge followings of the undiscerning, gullible, inexperienced, and naïve. The New Age is full of hazards like that:


It seems people who are well balanced and use both sides are rare---but we are not conditioned for such feats--so no surprise there! lol I imagine tht a humans possibilites are ENDLESS when using ALL points available in the geometric biodome known as our "body" Nice to see your employing different perspectives

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose.htm#newage

but there is also a great deal of invalid fringe “science,” vying for the public’s attention, sending them down the rabbit holes. There is also conspiracism and other tabloid titillations that distract people and waste time.

My work is somewhat close to Bucky Fuller’s, and helping my readers develop a comprehensive perspective is my goal:

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

multidisciplinary is great--nothing like having a more eclectic experience in life and in education---gives a person a more mutidimensional view of themselves and the world around them...

Once readers can accomplish that, the energy situation will come front and center. But the so-called free energy field is in a state of arrested development, dominated by scientists and inventors, chasing money and trying to establish primacy for their invention or theory. It is in a state of arrested development for a few reasons, not the least of which is organized suppression:

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

Yes it would definitely seem tht if a person follows the system as it is now to initiate a FE avenue---it almost seems laughable ,as the word "free" would not have anything to do with it...

just putting my thoughts out there, but a REAL change..something monumental to initiate a new way of life for people all over the globe would seem to be built on a completely different infrastructure compared to wht is in place now---And by infrastructure, i mean the whole system--what the whole modern world is built on now.

but almost everybody who gets past the denial that free energy is even possible:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level0

I believe its possible, i believe having heaven/paradise on this globe is very possible. I believe it is possible for every human on the globe to have a free home--free food. I also feel tht it is much more simpler to accomplish such a task then people have been conditioned to see

gets spun up in thinking that the inventor’s path to free energy has promise, or the capitalist route, etc. The people running the show have made sure that all avenues like that are closed off, and they are perilous even if there was no organized suppression, but there is an endless stream of fools with inventor-it is, delusions of grandeur:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur

dreams of riches, and other defects which keep the field in the state that it is. At least fifty thousand have tried and failed. Getting to a productive understanding of the issues is like walking the razor’s edge, and I have almost never found anybody who could. Brian O’Leary held the perspective closest to mine in the free energy field:

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

I need to read more into Brian Oleary to get more of a perspective..

but he also came from the academic side of the house, while I came from the real world end of it, going through the meat grinder, and like every other American free energy activist that I have encountered, Brian could never quite get the taste of the red-white-and-blue Kool-Aid out of his mouth. Nationalism is one of the many scarcity-based ideologies that people have to shed in order to understand abundance:

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

It is anything but an easy task, and I have almost never met or heard of anybody who was able to accomplish it, but I am looking for people who want to try, because on the other side of the hump, if we can make it over it, is something that looks a lot like heaven on Earth:

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

instead of the sled-ride to oblivion that humanity is on these days. The people running Earth today do not have a kind regard for humanity, but regard us as a herd to be milked, and slaughtered when our usefulness expires. Killing off the planet is one of very possible outcomes of the game being played, and humanity has effortlessly obliged the social managers. When the situation is taken in, the question of whether humanity is really a sentient species understandably arises:

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

I know that free energy, antigravity, and other world-changing technologies exist:

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

but we don’t get any while we are collectively asleep and our own worst enemies. I am taking a different approach to it, and we will see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Beautiful relaxing pics...nice to breath and take in the beauty

Thanks for the reply--have a great time off
