WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Oh boy, I am doing it. I am revising my war essay this week:

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

I do not plan to add a great deal of new material, but will be referring to my upcoming essay, which deals with war a bit. This is going to be a heavy lift, and I do not know if I will post more than normal here while I do it, or less. We will see.

That is the last big revision to my site, and then it will pretty much be aligned with my upcoming essay, and I will not plan too many more site revisions, but my work will be around the big essay and recruiting and training the choir.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Well, it looks like the essay will not be published until the first half of August, as I wait for others in the editorial process, but it also gives me quality time to play editor. Comments are streaming in, and it is all good. In one response today, the reviewer (with scientific training) confessed to taking it pretty slowly, as the material demanded deep thought and reflection. That is exactly what I am looking for. The slower, the better, as it will take a lot of time to sink in. Those who take the time and go deep are whom I am looking for. I spent much of the day doing admin work on the war essay, getting it in shape for the editorial process, which will begin tomorrow. Boy, my style has changed a bit since 2002, for the good, I think. I wrote professionally for ten years after completing my site in 2002, writing technical business documents which were subject to about twenty people reviewing them before publication, and that is a great process for honing one's craft.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

I am taking a quick break from editing the war essay. One thing that studies of warfare, going all the way back to chimpanzees, show is that it has always been an economic undertaking, born of scarcity. Religion began with warfare, as a way to develop social cohesion in the face of a warring neighbor. People would craft their religions around warfare, and most of them likely even believed in the religious reasons for their warfare, but it was really economic at its root. I added this text to my war essay this morning:


"While pre-civilized human warfare has seemed ineffectual and ritualistic to modern observers, its death rate as a proportion of the population is about twenty times greater. In the preliterate Maring culture in the mountains of New Guinea, they have had a religious cycle of warfare for thousands of years. Their cycle approximates ten years, with the warfare pattern beginning when the pigs they raise and the human population reach the land's carrying capacity. Then they have a ritualistic war that brings both the human and pig populations back to within the land's carrying capacity. Then their societies are peaceful for another decade or so, when the carrying capacity is again reached and they renew the cycle of warfare. R. Buckminster Fuller noted that economic scarcity has always been the motivation of all soldiers, and Hermann Goering observed that the method to mobilize the men in any nation for warfare was to make them believe that their nation was under attack.

"Anthropologists have long speculated that warfare between hunter-gather bands kept populations in balance with the land's carrying capacity before the development of agriculture, in a Malthusian population check. As humanity expanded across the planet from Africa, driving all other human species and most of the megafauna to extinction, it was a peaceful expansion, as simply moving to the next uninhabited valley was a "cheap" way to resolve the conflict. But as behaviorally modern humans filled Earth's inhabitable lands and the easy food was gone, then warfare began in earnest, and when Europeans "discovered" Australia, for instance, they found the isolated natives in a state of almost constant warfare."


With FE, the economic motivation for warfare disappears, which is one major reason why people fearing some global war if FE makes its appearance really have little understanding of warfare, and are only projecting their deeply baked, irrational fears.

Back to work.

Introduction to this Site's Forum

By Wade Frazier
August 2014

Welcome to this site's forum. You can directly access the forum's content at this link. The forum's content is freely available to all of humanity, and is intended to discuss this site and my big essay that was first published in August 2014.

My immediate goal is for my readers to develop a comprehensive perspective of the journey of life on Earth, which includes the human journey. I seek to help readers develop an epochal perspective, and to particularly understand what the potential of abundant and harmlessly produced energy can be for humanity and the health of Earth's ecosystems. The world as we know it can end, and an unprecedented epoch of abundance, peace, and Earth healing can commence. That has been my life's work since I was 16 years old, and will still be my life's work when I take my last breath in this lifetime.

This site's forum is not like any other that I have seen, and it needs to be different to stand a chance of attaining the goals that I have for it. There are no anonymous participants, and they, at minimum, have read and digested my essay on energy and human journey, and ideally will have read my entire site. The conversation that I plan for this forum to initiate and sustain will be at a far higher level of sophistication than in any other forum that I have yet encountered. However, while it will deal with many difficult ideas, it will avoid the jargon of specialists.

This forum is not intended to host an arcane discussion, but an accessible one on what may be the most important topic on Earth today. It will approach the subject from a comprehensive perspective, and the forum's members will be attempting to achieve an abundance-based orientation to the issues. I have yet to see such an approach mounted on Earth, particularly one that is scientifically grounded and has an understanding of how the world really works, or at least one that is far closer to reality than what our indoctrination systems depict.

If you read my big essay and are interested in joining this forum, please realize that it is a forum of public writers, and if you write about this essay on the Internet and link to my essay, and there is a way to publicly contact you, then you may be invited into the forum. The forum is intended to reach several thousand members one day, who will be singing the song of abundance. That "choir" is intended to attract around 100,000 people who will absorb the ideas and help mount a transparent effort to develop a free energy device that can be given to the world and mass produced, so that every human directly benefits from it.

It will not happen overnight, and the choir may even create "harmonic" effects to help free energy technology manifest (which has been on Earth for longer than I have been alive), and that action by the 100,000 will not be required for manifesting free energy, but will likely play an important role in its enlightened implementation.

That is my goal as of August 2014. Impatience is my Achilles heel, and time is short to avoid a global catastrophe, but my path has been teaching me patience. I will resist any efforts to take short cuts. I have watched short-cut attempts many times, and they all ended in disaster, so I am taking a different approach that is intended form a solid foundation, to then build on it.

Happy reading, or singing,

Wade Frazier

On a roll...

Hi:

I am more than halfway through the heavy lift of revising the war essay. It is getting heavy, so I am taking a short break. I plan to have the revision finished by the weekend, and then I will have done all the heavy lifting of revising my site (essays written after 2002 will not get much revision, if any), with only a few odds and ends remaining. I did not think that I would get there, and it is a huge relief to.

To my earlier post on the forum that I plan to mount, it will begin very slowly, as I am looking for people who have done the work and are hitting the notes, and there are very few of those on Earth today, especially those that I am aware of. The upcoming essay will be "bait" that I will use to look for those needles in haystacks. When some pals say that they are going deep and won't come up for air for months, that is just what I am looking for, because only those who go deep are going to have a chance of shedding their conditioning and refraining from advocating all of the short-cut ideas that newbies invariably suggest, which have been all tried innumerable times with no success. People need to shed their naïveté and scarcity-based conditioning in order to be able sing the song of abundance, and that takes hard work and some kind of awakening experience. There is no group on Earth that remotely has what I am looking for, so I will have to roll my own. Within the groups that are the usual suspects that newbies think might have the right stuff:

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

there will be the stray member who will go deep and get it, but they will be very few and far between. And by that, I mean those who reach Level 12:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level12

or are getting close. And if they reach Level 12, they will no longer be fit for belonging to the organizations they were part of when they encountered my work. That is a very real hazard, and making my work so difficult, not mentally as much as emotionally, is intended to keep those safe in their slots, as Level 12 can be a pretty scary and lonely place to be. It is similar to cautioning a scientist from taking Silva, for instance, as scientific careers have ended when the blinders come off, as they did for Brian:

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

I have tried to dissuade newbies from making gung-ho moves that jeopardize their careers and lives, and I do not mean prematurely dying, although that happens, but people damaging friendships, family relationships, and the like. That is a standard outcome of walking the FE high road, so I try to keep people off of it who encounter my work, as reading is nothing like being there. That is a hazard of what I am doing where, like those 18-year-old boys hankering for battle, newbies think they can dance through the minefields to the goal without a scratch. I am trying to avoid newbies encountering my work experiencing that fate almost more than anything else. The high road is like entering a hall of mirrors where wrong turns can mean lost limbs and painful deaths.

Level 12 is all that I am interested in, as no effort launched from the other levels ever had a prayer, I am sorry to say. Level 10 definitely does not work, but that is where enthusiastic newbies usually end up, if they do not get stuck in Levels 6 or 7. Those in levels 8, 9, and 11 are also useless for what I have in mind. My site is already meaty, and that essay will make it a meal that few will be willing or able to digest, and that is intentional, as only those who do the work are going to have a chance of reaching Level 12.

Back to work.

Wade

Hi:

Well, that was agonizing:

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

I spent the most time on the decision to drop the atom bombs:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#dropping

I hope that I do not need to update that essay again in this lifetime.

I also revised my Ralph McGehee:

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

and vegetarian essays:

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

There is not much left on my site that I plan to update. I will be spending my time in the next month getting my big essay up to snuff, and building the skeleton of that forum.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

With this one now down:

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

there is not much left that I plan to revise on my site. Whew!

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

I rewarded revising that war essay by revising one that was a little more fun to update:

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

The visions part of that essay will superseded by the section in my upcoming essay, but I did not want to completely discard it. It did not have to revise it much at all to conform to my upcoming essay, and the biggest change was likely drawing on Brian O's work on asteroid mining. When I wrote that essay in 2001-2002, Brian was not in my life like he was when he asked me to help found the New Energy Movement:

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

I made original my sites in 1996 to 2002, which were three basic sites, with the final version forming the bulk of my site today. The second version (built in 1998-1999) looked largely like the 2002 version, but before I hired a professional editor, which was the learning experience of my writing career. The web mastering process was very time-consuming for those sites, as I did it all by myself, using a 1990s version of Dreamweaver and Front Page 2000. I still use them today, but a gracious Avalonian built me some tools so that it is now a snap to master my essays. I also use Microsoft's Web Expression, which is essentially a next-generation version of Front Page. So, what used to take me a day to revise now takes maybe an hour, which is making the chore of revising those essays almost fun.

My site is a writer's site, not eye-candy, but I wanted to make the reading experience as easy as I could. The ideas and emotions that can come up when reading it are hard enough. However, for the upcoming big essay, I added a bunch of pictures, which were mostly to make the ideas and information easier to digest.

I keep adding to the essays that I am revising, and might revise a few more. We'll see.

Time for chores and play.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

The closer that I get to publishing my big essay, and the more that I get my current site revised to align with that essay, the greater the sense of relief and satisfaction, and the idea grows that maybe what I will attempt can make a dent.

I have written plenty about it on this thread, on my site, and in my upcoming essay, but I cannot overemphasize that women will need to step up if my idea has a prayer. The FE field is largely a Boys' Club, and that is part of why it is in arrested development, with scientists and inventors dominating, with many trying to be heroes and messiahs, seeking riches, and the like.

Back in the 1990s, I read plenty of feminist literature, and saw how the male-based paradigms were disasters:

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

but I had a long ways to go to really understand what was happening, and my upcoming essay goes into the issue in some depth. I knew that the matrilineal societies of the Eastern Woodlands had great appeal to the invading Europeans, which is why so many ran off and went native. But it was only as I began to really study the issue, as I prepared for writing my essay, that I really began to see the big picture. While I read the feminist literature, I also read the critiques of their work, and I wondered if feminist writers were overplaying their hand, and even when reading formidable works such as Wrangham and Peterson's Demonic Males, I wondered if they were all exaggerating the dynamics.

But as I studied primates, early civilizations, warfare, and the like, it became evident that the feminists were right, but not always for the reasons that they thought. In the end, the subjugation of women was only a continuation of how great ape females were treated, and monkeys also could behave similarly (even though monkey societies are matrilineal), so the pattern is likely at least 40 million years old. That is a lot of inertia to overcome.

But it turned out that the feminists were right in that there was a brief period of village existence when women had relative equality with men. The first pristine civilizations (Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica, and Peru) all began peacefully, as women did the first farming, and their relatively high economic contribution to the society created a change that was a human first, where societies became matrilineal, where men left the societies to procreate. Only about 30% of preliterate societies were matrilineal, and they were like that when women had high proportional economic contributions. Similar to bonobo society, when female status rose (a male bonobo's status is related to his mother's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo#Social_behavior) those societies became far gentler. As those pristine societies grew into states, men regained their primacy, and women's status universally declined with the advent of civilization. Their status did not begin to recover it until the Industrial Revolution, and the reason was hard labor. When agriculture became masculinized, such as in the Fertile Crescent, when agriculture became the province of draft animals and plows, as well as deforestation and transporting wood, the physical strength of men became more economically important, and that was when women began declining in status. Those Eastern Woodlands societies had horticultural economies, and they were in their Stone Age with no draft animals, and that is why they were matrilineal, as woman made substantial economic contributions. In agricultural civilizations, with cities, which again put a premium on strength, and also as city-states began to war with one another over their energy supplies, women became good for bearing children and getting meals ready for their husbands after a hard day at work in the fields.

Once the machines of the Industrial Revolution removed most of the need for strong backs, not only were slaves liberated, women no longer needed to be baby factories, and that also began their liberation. Also the standard of living increase, which includes rising life expectancy, meant that pumping out endless babies no longer made economic sense. The demographic transition began, and societies went from short-lived (with high infant mortality rates), uneducated people to long-lived and educated ones, and the physical demands of living were greatly reduced. It was all about economics, and bonobos overcame male dominance via economics, too:

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

While scientists seem to be most impressed so far with the journey of life on Earth part of my essay, which is nearly half of it, the lay audience is having a hard time paying attention. But, for the points I am making, and the paradigm that I am trying to sketch, that part of the essay is vitally important, and one aspect is giving readers a sense of perspective. It is easy to get swept up in current events, caught up in the struggle to survive, or the million distractions that do not amount to anything, as far as their importance goes, and fail to see the bigger picture. I am still reading and tweaking my essay, as I wait to hear back from editors, and one book I am finishing is titled The Gap, which explores what makes human minds different from those of other animals.

If we answer Brian O's question:

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

in the affirmative, that humans are a sentient species, it obviously has not been for long, geologically speaking. I think that humanity is in the early stages of becoming a sentient species, and I call us semi-sentient. Studying the long view of the journey of life on Earth makes that clear, which is one purpose for my essay.

Even if we are sentient, women are only beginning to really take their rightful place, and women as a whole need to become far more scientifically literate than they are today. And it is not just about science, but the discriminating mindset that typifies the scientific pursuit. Also, mainstream science has a "shark tank" environment that is partly because men dominate it. Women are greatly needed, and overthrowing the male-based paradigm in Western medicine, for instance, is long overdue.

While my essay is not really intended for women, it is intended for non-scientists, so that they can begin to develop comprehensive perspectives without having scientific training and IQs of 150. If my choir is a hall of nerds, it likely will not work. If it becomes a soft-headed New Age effort, where male leaders build their harems:

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

and make a pile of money at the expense of their housewifely followers, it also will not stand a chance. There are many ways that the effort can fall off the rails, and being male-dominated is part of the problem.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

On the big essay, one goal that I have for it is that when readers begin to develop a comprehensive perspective about the energy issue, they will understand that "liking" the FE idea or not is irrelevant. In the commerce of ideas in today's world, there are fashions, flavors of the day, and schools of thought that rise and fall.

Take religion, for instance. The first religion was about singing and dancing marathons that lasted all night, to develop "social cohesion," which was likely a response to violent inter-group conflict (AKA warfare). When all the easy meat was rendered extinct, the Domestication Revolution began, and it was initially peaceful, with women having high status, and the religions also had prominent goddess influence. Then that "golden age" ended, men rose to dominance once again, and civilization began.

With the first cities came professions, and the professional priesthood changed the religions, where singing and dancing were banned (or restricted to controlled choirs), the religions became a matter of belief, not experience, and male-based religions dominated as men did, and the new elites were deified.

With industrialization, religions no longer had much utility for social control, and they have been on the wane for centuries in industrialized nations. In places such as the USA, it has been a free-for-all as different religions have vied for dominance, including New Age versions, but they are all on the wane. But religions had nothing whatsoever to do with whether a nation used fire, or raised crops, or burned hydrocarbons. Religions and politics were the tail, not the dog. The so-called religions were dependent on the energy practices, and nobody says, "Fire? Nah, we do not like the idea." If you "asked" a bunch of australopiths what they thought of fire before controlled fire was invented, the response would have been one of fear. Until they experienced the reality of a campfire, they would have had the primordial fear of fire that all animals have.

Fear would not have always been the immediate response to the new energy regime. For the Domestication Revolution, if you had asked a hunter-gatherer of 10,000 years ago what he thought of raising crops and animals and living in huts, he would have stared at you without comprehension. He would have had no idea of what you were talking about. The idea of a city was so far outside his universe of the possible that you could not have explained any of it to him. Fear might have been the primary response, for a number of reasons, one of which was that any large group of strange people would be a deadly threat, so the idea of large groups of strange people might be been frightening. Similarly, if you had tried to explain today's world to an English peasant of 1500, you would have received similar incomprehension. How much of it would have been fearful, as you tried to explain today's world to them? Maybe a lot of it. For none of the epochal events, which were energy events, would those living before the event have had any comprehension of what the event would mean to their world:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post827022

But asking them if they wanted it or not would have been a pointless exercise. People fear change, as in a world of scarcity, change means winners and losers. In a world of abundance, those fears would be meaningless, and it is another reason why asking humanity if they like the idea of FE or not is pointless (Brian wanted to do that, but I had my doubts about it, and today, I realize how hopeless that exercise would be http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html ). Only when FE is delivered into their lives will they even begin to comprehend what it means. It is like what Machiavelli said:

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

and he lived when those English peasants did, and he would have had no idea what industrialization would mean. FE is not like a new religion, a new political system, a new economic idea, or a fashion of the day. FE means the end of the world as we know it, just like with the other epochal events. That is what I mean by thinking epochally. Fortunately, for the first time ever, we have some dim idea of how the next epochal event can change our world:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm#trek

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post672748

For no previous change were any glimmers available. Some like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells had some glimpses, but they were generally not of the fifth epochal event, but just more of what the fourth had in store, although time travel may be fifth-ish.

So, when I can get readers thinking epochally, they will begin to understand why FE is not something that they can tell their friends and neighbors about, as if it was another flavor-of-the-day, a business opportunity, a new religion, and the like. It took me a long time to understand why Dennis's business approach to FE was not going to work, and even laying aside the organized suppression. FE is the biggest event in the human journey, and when people approach it as a way to get rich, to save money, and the like, it is like they are one of those blind men approaching that elephant and grabbing ahold of the tail or tusk and thinking that they have it all figured out. FE is far larger than any of today's ideas of politics, economics, religion, the social chatter, and so on. Even so-called "enlightened" groups such as environmentalists have no idea of what FE means, as they project their fears onto it:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/purpose...ironmentalists

All of that is like discussing the best brand of buggy whip before the car was invented, the most benign form of slavery before the rise of machines, or the best way to sleep in trees before campfires made ground-sleeping possible.

The choir will be comprised of people who understand the epochal nature of FE, and they know that they cannot help educate those around them. That will not be the choir's purpose. The choir's purpose will be helping the Fifth Epochal Event become comprehensible to other needles in haystacks, and when enough of us know the song, it will be time to make FE happen. Only when a critical mass is reached will an FE effort be able to override the organized suppression and the masses' inertia. Those who just have to go tell their friends, families, and neighbors the "good news" about FE are not in my target audience. That is the level 10 approach:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level10

and it will not work. My target audience will comprehend the epochal nature of FE, and will realize that only an epochal approach has a chance of working.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, I found myself thinking of that DOE proposal that I helped Brian write five years ago:

http://www.brianoleary.info/Impacts.html

(I wrote the "Big Picture" part of that essay, and most of the "Obstacles" part)

or my essay preview of four years ago:

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

or my first energy essay, written in about 2001:

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

and readers will see bits and pieces of them in my upcoming essay, which fleshes out those ideas in a big way. The big essay is the flowering of those ideas. I see myself revising that big essay every so many years, like editions of a college textbook, but the framework will likely not change, at least until FE is delivered to the world.

As I have mentioned, the over-50-crowd keeps lamenting that I am not publishing a book, but my essay is not designed to be read like a book. It is a next-generation resource, specifically designed for the Internet, and my target audience will likely be today's youth, whose minds have yet to ossify into the dominant paradigms:

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

Those who lament that it is not a book have also not really comprehended what the essay's purpose is.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Ah, I can't help myself. I am revising what I consider to be my most important essays written since 2002, and the first was the one that brought Brian back into my life, and where I first described the FE awareness levels:

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

The section that I revised the most was this one:

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

where I added in ecosystem collapses. Most of my revised essays have links to the big essay that is not yet published, but the links will work when the essay is published.

The Heinberg essay will also get a little makeover:

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

but as I look at those essays, I may only do one or two more, but we will see.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

"The choir will be comprised of people who understand the epochal nature of FE, and they know that they cannot help educate those around them."

This begs an interesting question: how come some will grasp the magnitude of the Fifth Epochal event and some will not, if people cannot be be educated about it ? It looks like you have to come here with some "pre-work" done elsewhere (perhaps in a civilization that already has Free Energy?).

Without turning this into a chicken and egg problem, how did the first "Tesla" come to be? The more I think about this the more I'd have to bring consciousness into the discussion and perhaps some form of ever evolving universal intelligence

People have to try and suspend all linear thinking, just for brief moments, and then it can happen.
The worlds which lie beyond the 3 dimensional realms are the true source
of genius flashes, of intuition, of inspiration, of insights.

And some of those worlds are advanced, and more developed, and some are way behind us. And humans get thoughts from all kinds of worlds, via telepathy. The real art of living is to take the best of what's out there, and make it one's own, and present it to others, again and again, until they click and see that it is a worthwhile proposal.

And who is to say that Tesla was a greater genius than whoever figured out how to domesticate animals?
I can just imagine what challenges that person had in their time.
Yet we now take farm animals for granted, and even abuse them, to the point that I find sickening.
While I would love to live in a world where there is no material scarcity paradigm I'm still wondering whether such a world would have found solutions for people who feel driven to invade others without their consent, to get their sexual satisfaction.

[Robert J. Niewiadomski]

Illie, i see that "conundrum" this way: nobody can "force" other people to educate themselves about FE and implications coming with it, it's against free will directive (or non interference). But anybody can "force" her(him)self to do this, and it's in full compliance withe the directive. Those willing to do this to themselves are the first to be educated. Self-educated. You can "radiate" your knowledge/experience without imparting it forcefully onto others. Wade does it very well imho He does not seek audience or publicity. He waits and rather prefers the audience to find him instead. Those unwilling to educate themselves will not look for what Wade has to say about FE. But those craving for knowledge will. Any time we feel deep inside of us w need to know something, just start looking around and you will inevitably stumble onto it

I can share fun fact from my life about the above principle Before i joined PA, i've read transcript of Kerry's and Bill's interview with Wade. Back then i was hardcore level 10 on Wade's FE personality scale. I was angry with what he said back then. Particularly on satellite surveillance network to track FE inventors. I felt so helpless because of that. I felt helpless because of many things back then i was a victim for sure And i started to read his website. Couple of month later GE announced "GE Ecomagination Challenge" and i wanted to contact Wade and tell him about it (good i didn't ). He has no email contact listed on his website. He started to post on PA so i started to read this thread. After i finished reading "Magical Child" i wanted to contact Wade again and tell him about ideas from that book. So i decided to join PA and post to this thread. I don't say that Wade joined PA because i wanted to contact him. Maybe it was the other way i joined because he too wanted to be contacted by people from around the world, who want to know and are willing to educate themselves

Hi Ilie and Ulli:

As I recall, I have been able to make that musical greeting before at Avalon.

The issue of educating people has been addressed in my work, and I recently discovered another instance of the numbers (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/war.htm#rotblat). The issue of people who can imagine abundance before it is delivered to them, and the issue of people who have the personal integrity to do the right thing, even when there is no immediate material reward for doing it:

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

is one in thousands, and they are related and might be identical populations, and the reason why they are so rare is scarcity and fear. The vast majority of humanity is focused on survival and lives in fear, which encourages them to be egocentric. Egocentric people do not see past their immediate self-interest. Again, that was the most important lesson of my journey, and is also why a Level 10 effort:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level10

will not work, because Godzilla easily manipulates the masses by using his carrots and sticks. However, the herd is also so accomplished at keeping people "in line" with the social conditioning that few will stray beyond the program that the social managers have designed.

The reason why Brian had all of those crazed reactions to the idea of FE, to eventually wonder if humanity was a sentient species:

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

was also the integrity issue, but it gets camouflaged in many ways, such as a blind allegiance to the "laws of physics." But it is really people finding their niche of hell that feeds them, and they will not budge from it. So, when I refer to people around you being able to be educated, it is really more about the integrity issue than it is a lack of imagination, although they are related. Whether we want to call it a lack of integrity, or an inability to imagine abundance on a world of scarcity, the proportion of the population today who can "get it" is on the order of one in thousands. Is it "as good" as one-in-2,000, or is it as rare as one-in-100,000? It can be as rare as one-in-1,000,000 for my idea to work, but for what I am asking of people, I think that it can be as "much" as one-in-1,000. I know of only one person on Earth who meets these qualifications:

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

so he is one in billions. That is why the hundred heroes approach will not work, because there are not a hundred to find. And even if the numbers are as good as one-in-1,000, the average person does not have a social circle of much more than about two hundred, so if one of those needles "gets it," the odds are long that they will have anybody in their social circle who will. Those are just the numbers, and is why the choir will not be able to educate those around them. The target audience of the choir will not be people in their social circles, but other needles.

Another way to look at it is how many people could imagine the epochal event before it happened, and the answer is almost nobody:

I will now segue to Ulli's query. One key finding of the study for my upcoming essay was how "higher" primates regard those outside their societies. They were almost always enemies, and were all fair game. This goes back to monkeys, and is also pronounced in apes, especially chimpanzees. Chimps arguably have the highest cognitive abilities of any animal outside of humans, and are the only animals besides humans who form ranked hunting groups and who also engage in genocide in planned raids on their neighbors. Basically, anybody in the out-group was fair game.

But biological imperatives also impacted the dynamics. All sexually-reproducing organisms have a method to prevent in-breeding, and it is baked deeply into their biology, and is the root of the human incest taboo, for instance. In monkeys, males leave the society to breed, and in apes, females leave the societies. Monkeys and apes are dimorphic, where strong males protect the territorial perimeter (as they primarily protect their food supply), and females live in the core areas with the offspring. Where males leave the society to mate, females dominate socially, although males, with their superior physical strength, still "get their way," and one of them is killing any infants that they did not father, when they have a chance. Females have also killed infants not their own, as they vied for power.

In the human line, because of their great ape heritage, until the beginnings of agriculture, their societies were always patrilocal, where females left the society to mate. What that meant was that males formed the cohesive social organizations. They were boys' clubs, and they were violent. Males constantly vie for power, with Machiavellian plotting that often turns violent. Patrilineal (or patrilocal, which is a similar concept) societies are the most violent, and the out-group was always fair game. This likely extended to the entire human line, including Neanderthals, for instance.

The first religions were singing and dancing marathons that lasted all-night-long, to form social cohesion, largely so that young men would expend their lives warring against their neighbors, as they fought over territory (AKA their food (AKA energy) supply).

Today, anthropologists have identified a long period of the human journey when they did not do that, and it likely goes back to the first of the human line to leave Africa, australopiths and Homo erectus (the "hobbits" appear to have been habilines or australopiths), and it is thought that they left Africa due to population pressures, and because they had a limited toolset and cognitive ability, they were not able to blanket the lands in their progeny, so the human population was pretty small until that founder group left Africa about 60,000 years ago, and that instance was also likely due to population pressures. But when that group left Africa (about 300 people, and likely not coincidentally, around the maximum social circle that humans can maintain), they spread across Eurasia, and Australia and the Americas. The drove all other human species in Africa and Eurasia to extinction, as well as the vulnerable megafauna (with no experience around humans, such as wooly mammoths), and they quickly drove all of the big animals in Australia and the Americas to extinction, in what I call the Golden Age of the Hunter-Gatherer. There is little evidence of violent inter-human conflict during that two-million-year period, and the leading hypothesis today is that it was a cost/benefit decision. Any population pressures had a ready remedy: simply move on to the next uninhabited valley. While there were wide-open spaces, with easily killed animals roaming, there was no "need" for human violence. A short-lived economic "abundance" allowed for a peaceful interlude in the human journey.

But once all the easy meat was killed off and humans began to defend their territories from their neighbors, just like chimps and gorillas do today, human violence rose again, and out-groups were fair game, and that was the beginning of human warfare. Slaughtering the entire band was typical behavior, although stealing the women was common enough. The out-group was always fair game. Even the Ten Commandments, with its "Thou shalt not kill," is popularly interpreted to mean that it only applied to the in-group, and anybody in the out-group was fair game.

I mentioned it in a recent post:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post856769

where if you dropped a hunter-gather of 10,000 years ago into a city, not only would he have been stupefied at almost everything about a city, but all of those people would have been in the out-group, so he would have been terrified, because he would have seen himself as "fair game." People in a city, who did not know each other and did not kill each other when the opportunity presented itself, would have been incomprehensible to that hunter-gatherer.

And if you studied early civilization, such as in Sumer, or the early societies depicted in the Old Testament, how brutal they were, and the standard operating procedure after conquering a neighbor was killing everybody, especially all the men, while some women and children might be spared and used as concubines and slaves. The out-group was still fair game, but the in-group was larger. Most of humanity's "progress" over the past 10,000 years, and particularly during the industrial revolution, has been to continually expand that in-group, as rising living standards allowed for the development of human conscience to levels previously unimaginable. This is where Brian and I saw the social and cognitive changes of FE being as dramatic or more so than the economic ones, and my upcoming essay will take those ideas much further than we ever did, and further than I have seen anybody else do before.

To Ulli's rape question, all females in all ape societies were subject to rape when the societies were patrilineal. About 70% of preliterate human societies were patrilineal, and those were dominated by male gangs, and they were the most violent societies and all women in them were subject to rape. But that was really no different than chimps and gorillas. As I mentioned in a previous post:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post856549

the matrilineal societies became that way because the economy allowed for an increased contribution from women, and they were always the most peaceful preliterate societies. In those societies, women were not fair game for rape. When the Indians of the Eastern Woodlands captured whites, they never raped white women, which Europeans found nearly incomprehensible, as raping women captives was a European pastime. That respect for women reflected the matrilineal societies of the Eastern Woodlands, with their horticultural societies where women's contribution was large enough to where they became matrilineal. When women are prominent, the societies are much gentler, for obvious reasons. When agriculture began to need the strength of men to handle draft animals for plowing and playing lumberjacks, and the feats of strength needed to build cities, women's status universally declined, and did not rise again until industrialization, and brute strength was no longer as valued.

But Europeans and Americans always raped native women clear up to the 20th century, as all "out-group" women were fair game:

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

With industrialization, the out-group has kept growing, and fewer people are considered "fair game." It was an economic phenomenon above all else. Only when their economic existences improved did people develop consciences, which leads to Brian's question of whether humans are really a sentient species.

So, FE and abundance has the potential to awaken the human conscience to previously unimaginable levels, and all life on Earth can become the "in-group." Now, some will be able to see all life on Earth as their in-group before their economic circumstances make it inevitable, and those are the people that I am looking for. But I also know that they will be rare, so rare that they will not know anybody in their social circles who will also be of that level of conscience. Those are just the numbers, and whenever I see anybody deny those numbers, they have obviously never been on the high road to FE, for instance, and have seen how people act when facing the perils and temptations of the FE pursuit.

To address Ulli's rape question, bonobos overcame it as their societies became one big orgy, but economics also created the foundation for it, as they lived in a region with a food supply double that of other chimps, because the gorillas were gone.

Now, I know that a lot of men would think that they had died and gone to heaven in a society where it was one big orgy, but it likely won't be quite that way in a world based on FE, although the nuclear family and unwanted children will likely disappear, and be replaced with something far more enlightened. I do not mean that a man and woman would not commit to each other and raise children together, but that "sacred" institution is based on economics. Marriage was an economic institution above all, and in a world based on FE, many social institutions will become obsolete, and the nuclear family will likely be one of them. And in our high-tech world, horny men will be able to go to holographic whorehouses if they wish (this is already being bandied about, and the technology is not far off), but sexuality will be very different than today's. There will probably be a lot of sex, but rape will become a thing of the past, like slavery, like killing everybody in the out-group, etc. For those who have a hard time imagining that, they are merely projecting their own fears and thinking that what is familiar is "normal."

A big purpose of my essay is so that readers can expand their minds and recognize that many aspects of what is called "human nature" is really just the human condition, and that can change. And even aspects that can be called nature, such as a male's relationship to a female, where insemination and provisioning/protection services were all that females really "needed" from males, can change as humans truly become a sentient species.

These are obviously big subjects, and the forum that I plan to mount is going to go deeply on them, with people who have done their homework.

Back to work.

Best,

Hi Robert:

Although I wrote my previous post before I saw yours, I think it answers it. Level 10 will not work, just because of the numbers. Not enough people in today's world care about anything other than their immediate self-interest (their "in-group" may extend to their immediate family, but that is about it) for Level 10 to work. It also goes back to what Roads's mentor said:

“If you choose love, then love is your reality. If you do not choose love, then your conditioning will determine your reality.”

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post672748

It is all about love, and is why I say that love and FE are joined at the hip, in both mystical and practical ways. But those with love in their hearts (AKA "those who care") are needles in haystacks in today's world. It is just what it is.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

On the in-group and integrity issue, I am trying to find a way to state it that makes it clearer. How about this?

Worshipping the flag was one way that social managers tried to expand the American in-group:

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

but all out-groups were fair game. With the Indians exterminated and their land stolen by the time that flag-worship was instituted, the out-group became people beyond North America, especially dark-skinned people, and killing them by the millions does not even register in American awareness:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#toll1

Loyalty to one's perceived in-group is lauded in almost all social circles, but that is a very low standard to meet. Even monkeys and apes do that. Caring about people in the out-group is where integrity worth something begins to manifest (as in Jesus's "love the enemy"). People feign caring about those out-group people, but almost nobody really does. The acts of integrity that will save the human species are those where people can expand their notions of the in-group to not only encompass all of humanity, but all life on Earth. When humanity can do that, it will finally become a sentient species. But it will be up to those needles in haystacks to lead the way and help manifest the means of abundance, and then scarcity and fear will no longer be humanity's primary organizing principles.

Back to chores.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I take a little break from work, the Universal People (the 5,000 people that all of humanity is descended from, and non-Africans only have about 300 direct ancestors from that founder group) have a penchant for judging people by their own standards, having beliefs that are demonstrably false, and projecting their motivations onto others. That is why Joe Average cannot distinguish the saints from the psychopaths, and why Jesus said "by their fruits you will know them," which meant to look beyond their words to their actions.

You could not have convinced me in 1985 that the masses would cheer as the psychopaths crucified the saints, but when I began to see it happen during my days with Dennis:

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient1

http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#salient3

the truth of the "Give us Barabbas!" parable became clear to me. Hitler also understood, knowing that almost everybody would be gulled by the Big Lies:

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

as everybody told each other little lies, and that was what they expected from others. That is partly why I will not be having any social gatherings anytime soon on the FE issue, as people largely do that to get their social needs met, and the silver-tongued psychopaths will swarm to something like that, and the naïve will be hived off, as well as me risking my life. I have repeatedly watched it happen.

For what I will be attempting, there will be no need for social gatherings for a long time, and the choir should be comprised of people who are more worldly and live at higher integrity levels so that the psychopaths cannot seduce them. The slick-talking psychopaths operate by using carrots and sticks, and the masses easily fall for it:

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

My game is a different one, and I am designing my effort to limit its susceptibility to such activities, either by free-lance psychopaths or those on Godzilla's payroll.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade
