    Hi:

    Attached are pics from yesterday's hike. It is my last hurrah in the high country for this year, as you can tell.

    Similar to yesterday's post giving the example of how Isaac Newton would have probably have reacted to the idea of slavery soon coming to an end, imagining the end of scarcity is something that almost nobody on Earth today is willing or able to do, and is behind all the fear and denial reactions to the idea of FE. But even for those few who do not deny or fear FE, very few have been able to wean themselves away from the scarcity-based thinking that pervades our societies. From getting patents to chasing after big money, the energy institutions, and the governments, all of those failed and unlikely paths have been trodden literally thousands of times. But almost every newcomer thinks that they hold promise if only he/she was involved, as if he/she has some magic answer that nobody ever thought of before.

    On a related note, I am constantly fielding observations on what people think that I am trying to do, and even for those who are really trying, I almost never encounter anybody who understands. That is one reason why I keep repeating myself in different variations, to give it more chances to sink in. I recently fielded the observation that I was trying to appeal to academia and wiggle my way into their ranks. Anybody familiar with my work should not think that. While I have professor and scientist chums, they are all freaks in their professions and know that they cannot share my work with their colleagues. That leading paleobiologist privately raved about my essay (or at least the parts that he was an expert in, which amounts to about half of the essay), but I would never ask him to do it publicly. That could risk his career.

    I take a somewhat scholarly approach to my work because it is useful to help people learn. The process can work. I am certainly not wedded to it, and I state quite explicitly that I avoid academic and scientific jargon when I can. I think that I make my approach quite explicit.

    Another notion that I continually encounter is that my work is not about "doing something." How is raising one's awareness not "doing something"? It is probably the hardest work to do on Earth today, and is the path of true sentience. "Doing something" in the FE context seems to be equated with garage tinkering, storming the ramparts, chatting up social circles, and the rest of those well-worn paths of failure. I am "doing something" radically different. Eventually, it will be time to truly "do something," but only with people whose awareness has been raised high enough and who have the courage to truly "do something." If there were ten like Dennis or a hundred like Brian, Mr. Professor, and me, "doing something" would be easy. But we walked a very lonely path and found extremely few like us. Personal integrity is truly the scarcest commodity on Earth, and that is the number one reason, with a bullet, why humanity is in today's predicament.

    I call what I have created a forum, but that is kind of a misnomer, as there has never been a forum like the one that I envision, and finding people with the right stuff, who are willing to do the work, will be the hard part. It will be more like an online classroom in which people learn to sing, and I expect that some will eventually sing far sweeter notes than I have ever produced. But some exist, and I seek them. The will have a love of the truth, a thirst for knowledge, have had an awakening experience or two, and will be keenly discerning. They can be as rare as one-in-a-million for my plan to work, and I do not expect it to happen overnight. The appearance of FE will be the biggest event in the human journey, by far. I strongly doubt that it will happen via the avenues out there today. I have not seen one of them with any promise, and I have looked, believe me. There is no group of the "good people" on Earth today, as they are all wedded to scarcity in one way or another, and maintaining integrity in a world of scarcity is very hard to do.

    Best,

    Wade

    Quickly, before I begin my day…

    The people whom I have tried to recruit to my choir all have doubts that they have the right stuff. That is paradoxically almost exactly what I am looking for, as those who initially think that they have it almost never do.

    The magnitude of FE is daunting to anybody who really tries to wrap one's mind and heart around it, and I am keenly sympathetic. I wrestled with my own delusions of grandeur in the early days, the agony of watching our efforts repeatedly go down in flames, the awe of watching Dennis go right back it at after leaving incarceration, the sadness of watching Brian flee to South America in fear for his life, to later be kicked out of the organization that he founded, and innumerable other sobering moments, some of which took me years to recover from. I will never really be over it. If a person does not react to the FE issue with caution and soul-searching, they are not whom I am looking for. It cannot be all caution and soul-searching, as this vision has sustained me through many dark years, but who else is really trying to right the ship, with an approach with a prayer?

    Eventually, aspirants come to that old progressive question: "If not me, who? If not now, when?" People finally realize that it is not going to be some white knight on a steed who gets it done (or some Messiah), but average people groping forward, trying to do the right thing and raising their awareness, who have tried something and have been awakened, usually by sobering realizations. But such people will also eventually realize that those with the right stuff to pursue the biggest event in the human journey are going to be few and far between. This has been a very lonely path, but I am trying to build a virtual home for fellow travelers. It will not be as "easy" as forming some physical community somewhere, but that is the downside and advantage of what I am attempting. If I tried to gather people physically today, we would not stand a chance, as the organized suppression would almost effortlessly prevail. There is a lot of work to do before anything like that can be contemplated. I have heard from quite a few in "intentional communities" around the world over the years. I never saw one with promise for helping manifest abundance, as they were based on shared austerity, as Fuller once noted.

    Best,

    Wade

    I resonated with those words Wade, and not for the first time.

    I always saw that as the point you were making with your approach.

    1) That raising awareness shifts the landscape psychically, atmospherically, and communicably in a way that supports a physical effort.
    2) That by raising our awareness, when the time comes to do something more, it will be done differently to, and more efficiently than, how it was done before.
    3) A new system of energy sourcing and application requires a new approach. With greater power comes greater responsibility.

    I started a little journey today on the web, trying to better understand the concept of 'anarchism,' as it seems to be a term used and understood differently by different proponents. It reminded me of a pitfall that recurs throughout history - that of struggling to build and apply a new and/or healing philosophy in an environment mired in the old or wounded consciousness.

    Often we put great effort into change, only to feel, sometime later, that we are back where we started. But we are not. We are changed by the journey. It can seem like a circular path. But it's perhaps more akin to an upward spiral. If we look back over 1000 years of history we can see how change has occurred. But to have faith in, and patience with, slower paths of change in the present can be a tall order in a culture based on scarcity, specifically without the benefit of knowing whether an effort will later be viewed as progress. A house built in moments can shelter you from a storm, but one built steadily over many months can shelter for a lifetime.

    It might seem like a thankless task, when a work we undertake feels unacknowledged in the culture it seeks to transform. But I enjoy the idea of planting seeds for the children of tomorrow. I enjoy the idea that they won't have to overcome the hardships I or others have faced (which were often worse for others.) I enjoy the idea that the memorable moments of freedom and inspiration I've felt will flow more easily and regularly for them in a world of greater abundance. But if I must defend myself against cynicism, I also enjoy the idea of personally reincarnating into a world that will be that way for little me. For those determined not to reincarnate here - an earth whose body and population are healed and thriving in abundance will be less of a threat to the wider physical and interdimensional community. It will be a beauty to behold, and a source of gladness, even friendship.

    Much like the lead character in a well-known work of fiction, one question I would choose to ask an advanced off-world race, is how did you survive your technological evolution without destroying yourselves? Their historic obstacles might have been different to ours, but the question would remain. Applying technology at the rate and pace we do without deep enough exploration of its environmental, spiritual and cultural implications has created predicaments that undermine the advantages. I believe most people would choose to explore the implications of how we grow, if given the chance and motivation, and an abundant world of FE can give us that. But to say that raising and deepening consciousness as a means to attaining abundance is 'not doing anything' would seem to reflect the same materialist mindset that perpetuates the planetary abuse we witness daily and then blames it on human nature. It would seem to be an offshoot of a victim mindset, and an impatient one. Even if I accept that people can't be forced to change, and I choose to channel my impatience towards wishing to defend helpless lifeforms and the ecosystem of our planet, it still feels inadequate to push for advanced technology amidst ill-informed consciousness. Attempting to get everyone to change might be futile. But changing ourselves in numbers great enough to create a global resonant effect, an energetic blueprint within the shared field of consciousness, does seem realistic.

    To be clear – I'm not criticising those who choose to 'do something' – I'm merely questioning how effective that method is in isolation, and questioning how helpful it is to criticise those who take a more subtle route that works in tandem.

    The thought of an impatient person with an FE device makes me more than hesitant.

    Once again, if we want a world abundant with patience, transcendent qualities, and comprehensive understanding, we probably need to build it with those same seeds.

    In that sense your philosophy seems only logical.

    Hope I didn't take too many words to share all this. Lots of thoughts. Much feeling.

    Hi Melinda:

    Thank you. Long ago, I asked a question during my FE quest, particularly when I had my many awakening moments during my first stint with Dennis and saw how the world really worked and how people acted when it was Show Time. I put it in one of my essays nearly a decade ago, but the studies for my big essay answered it for me. The energy events transformed how people thought, not the other way around. The masses have never been behind making any Epochal Event happen, but took a ride on the backs of the pioneers. Back to that example of Isaac Newton, until the means for ending slavery (i.e., ending its economic viability) had been delivered by the nascent Industrial Revolution, nobody could imagine it. Even then, those who could see what industrialization meant, but were "winners" in the prior Epoch, held out to the end to preserve their "way of life" that made people into property.

    Every Epochal Event in the human journey was initiated by a relative handful of people, and perhaps even one person/protohuman for the earliest event. The first event led to the human brain, and only about 5,000 members of Homo sapiens existed when the second one happened, and only about 300 people did it.

    So, FE, abundance, and human consciousness have been seen as a chicken-and-egg question, but I found that the energy event always preceded, and indeed caused, the change in consciousness. Even the inventors of the previous Epochal Events had no idea what they would lead to.

    The worst elements of humanity have possessed FE technology for longer than I have been alive, as well as antigravity and many others which would seem magical (my pal's eyes bugged out at what they showed off). And we are all still here. Those close to the issue (such as being gnawed on by Godzilla a bit) say that the prevention of weaponization is already something that can be done, and I do not seriously doubt it.

    There are no guarantees in life, but I can pretty much guarantee that the current course that humanity is on will threaten to extinguish the species and take most of the ecosystems with it. Godzilla knows that too, and terraforming Mars as the ultimate survival enclave is his "ace in the hole." For those not addicted to power, that attitude seems incomprehensible, but the dark path is largely incomprehensible to those not on it, just as the light path is largely incomprehensible to those not on it. The masses cannot distinguish the psychopaths from the saints, as I discovered on my journey. But the potential of FE should sink in pretty quickly, once it becomes a daily reality for them.

    Thousands of failed attempts have demonstrated very clearly that the standard paths of technology development and activism will not work for a publicly mounted FE effort. The "relative handful" for making FE happen, in my vision, is about 100,000 people, with that choral nucleus of 5,000-7,000. When an Avalonian said that Greg Braden had a similar number whose combined sentience could awaken humanity, it was interesting to see that level of agreement. Mine was informed by my experiences in the field, and I do not know where Braden got his number from. That is one reason why I say that love and FE are joined at the hip, in both mystical and practical ways.

    If 100,000 can come together and make FE happen, no thanks to Godzilla, they will be in position to help ensure a safe implementation of FE. I am not referring to 100,000 Average Joes whose attention is devoted to when their workday ends, their favorite sports team, and how inebriated they will get this evening or next weekend. Those 100,000 are going to be highly capable people with their hearts in the right place. Nothing remotely like that group has existed on Earth before. Heck, even 1,000 singers may seem like a stretch. Those around me think this is all a pipe dream, but I saw what happened during my days with Dennis. I was actually the catalyst for a lot of it, so catalyzing stuff like this is my specialty.

    That global peacekeeping force of grandmothers would be one of those transitional bodies. But none of it will make any sense until FE appears on the scene, or a very public and robust effort (nothing remotely like that has happened before – Dennis's Philly show and efforts are the biggest yet, but really was not much of a threat, and I nearly went to prison for my involvement) pursues it in the full light of day, and some concentric circles of awareness form. But, really, until FE makes it appearance on the global stage, more than 99.9% of humanity will go on as they are, oblivious to the situation.

    I consider it quite likely that simply 5,000-7,000 singers could shake loose FE, as the people with it (the so-called White Hats, but I think they are in shades of gray), hiding in the shadows, will not come out when there is not a glimmer of awareness amongst the public. I am certainly not counting on it, but that could well be a side effect. One thing is for sure: the suppression and sequestering of FE technology has nothing to do with fears of misuse, but pure megalomaniacal power issues.

    Back to chores.

    Best,

    Hi:

    All people have an innate desire for freedom, as I think is obvious. Coerced servitude is nothing that anybody wants to experience, but it still exists in many forms, including wage slavery. Actual slavery still exists on Earth, but is confined to the world's poor societies.

    If you study warfare, you find that economics has always been the ultimate reason for all wars. Today, politicians can always be counted on to state that their pressing of war is not about economics, but some noble purpose. The USA has by far the world's largest and most belligerent military, and its politicians will never admit the economic motivation behind our invasions, bombings, and the like, although economics is the reason every time. They are not all irredeemably stupid, but they are just playing the game. I doubt that many who digest their vapid speeches are that stupid, either. But it is very hard to find an analysis of the USA's invasion of Iraq that admits that oil was the ultimate reason for it. Iraq has the world's most lucrative oil deposits for the plunderers, and the USA used Iraq to establish a military presence in the Middle East right after the Soviet Union collapsed.

    Before there was an economics profession and before the science of energy developed, explanations by historians, for instance, explained events with who and how, but not really why, or their whys were pre-scientific and confined to personal motivations. But all the way through the history of life on Earth, organisms with the best energy practices lived, while those who did not were marginalized or went extinct. The same has been noted for human societies. Whether the people were consciously aware of it or not, economics dictated most of their actions, as humans until the Industrial Revolution were always in danger of starving and other economic privation.

    I have read up on the abolition of slavery, and I have seen similar dynamics, as various forms of coerced servitude institutions rose and fell. This king or that king emancipated his slaves, or made them serfs, but his successors reversed the ruling, and so on. During the rise of Europe and the early days of industrialization, various writers addressed slavery, but it was not until around 1750 that slavery as an institution was challenged on universal grounds. So, slavery was not challenged in the entire history of humanity, going back to the first civilizations and earlier, until industrialization began, and slavery is seen today as a completely economic institution. Even when I read arguments that slavery was not always an economic institution, it was only because the writer defined "independence" as a non-economic goal, when independence is in essence about economics (give me $10 million, and I can be "independent" ) and redounds back to the slavery issue. Physical wellbeing is always an economic issue.

    Just as oil was the ultimate reason why the USA invaded Iraq, the Industrial Revolution, riding the energy of fossil fuels, is the ultimate reason why slavery became obsolete. Slavery appeared at the beginning of humanity's Third Epochal Event, and ended with its Fourth. The "who-did-what" kinds of analyses of slavery and its end often fails to comprehend the ultimate reason why slavery ended, which was not because people began to suddenly gain consciences. They could afford to have consciences when the institution of slavery made less and less economic sense, as energy-driven machines replaced human labor (including the watermill and ocean-going sailboat).

    Best,

    Wade

    ...All people have an innate desire for freedom, as I think is obvious. Coerced servitude is nothing that anybody wants to experience, but it still exists in many forms, including wage slavery...
    Researching anarchism, I came across a moving documentary about the Spanish Revolution. Described on wikipedia as :

    Quote "...a workers' social revolution that began during the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and resulted in the widespread implementation of anarchist and more broadly libertarian socialist organizational principles throughout various portions of the country for two to three years... [...] ...Orwell meticulously documented his first-hand observations of the civil war, and expressed admiration for the social revolution in his book Homage to Catalonia..."
    George Orwell wrote:

    Quote "Many of the normal motives of civilized life—snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.—had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Revolution


    The film, on youtube, called Living Utopia (The Anarchists & The Spanish Revolution), shares the feelings of a small number of individuals involved in the revolution. How they came together and took control of industry and local businesses, in some cases abolishing money altogether. How they were able to live and collaborate without the traditional state, church or police. For many of them it was the most inspiring period in their lives and in some areas resulted in greater efficiency / productivity in the workplace.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=jPl_Y3Qdb7Y

    There's a great deal of detail that could be explored on the revolution, from outside influence, such as the Soviet communists, to internal coercion from Spaniards determined to see the movement succeed. Not to mention the pressurised climate of the civil war.

    But watching in context of considering FE, one of the things I was continually reminded of was how it was an attempt at equality that was born out of scarcity compared to what an FE world could look like and provide.

    According to some of the interviewees one celebrated republican army officer even turned on the anarchist militias, later seeking refuge in Moscow. The Soviets had given aid to the movement when other countries wouldn't, but apparently didn't want to see the ultimate success of a libertarian experiment that was outside of their control.

    This article offers more detail on the involvement of Stalin and the Soviet Union:

    http://www.gutenberg-e.org/kod01/frames/fkod01.html

    One woman in the film described how the feminist movement that was born out of that period had concerns unlike the 'bourgeois' feminists. Where those wealthier feminists had wanted equality in the workplace with men, the workers' feminists had been without education - an aspect of life that effected their standing in the home, in their role as mothers, and beyond.

    When I put together the sense of inspiration, motivation and shared respect for upholding a system of mutual benefit that came from the people for the people without state interference, together with FE potential for abundance that can lift people out of the factories to expand skills, opportunities and consciousness, I see the seeds of a new kind of revolution that could be truly remarkable.

    No need for coercion, or bloodshed.

    No need for anyone to sacrifice their quality of life to uphold the greater good. Everyone can have more than enough and be self-sufficient far beyond what most people experience now.

    Truly a new, revolutionary era.

    Hi Melinda:

    Chomsky thought that Orwell's Homage to Catalonia was his best work. It was highly influential to young Noam, and had a lot to do with forming his anarcho-syndicalist views. Of course, the Nazis and Italians, with implicit American support, helped overthrow the revolution, and Aznar was born into that fascist milieu. Participating in that pre-Iraq invasion meeting was the high point of his career.

    A lot of the anarchist ideal is worthy, if they can leave the violence (AKA "struggle") out of it. Yes, with FE, that entire revolution/counter-revolution dynamic will become obsolete, as it is rooted in a victim's orientation. As long as economics is a zero-sum game, that will continue. Arguments are made that a lot of modern economics is not zero-sum, but I consider that highly misleading. Any economy based on an energy source that is being burned up a million times as fast as it was created is playing the zero-sum game on the scale of hundreds of millions of years; it was captured and stored hundreds of millions of years ago, and is all being used up now. In this century, it will virtually all be used up, except for coal and stuff like tar sands and shale oil, which do not have EROIs high enough to sustain a modern civilization, and is the nasty dirty stuff, even leaving aside the carbon dioxide pollution from burning it.

    Best,

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    Hi:

    I recently wrote about Lockheed's recent fusion "breakthrough," and last night, I was asked for the first time what I thought about it, and it certainly will not be the last time. I have a relative who works for Lockheed, in the classified end of it, and Lockheed goes way back with my family and friends, for about 50 years.

    Lockheed's Skunk Works, or Boeing's Phantom Works, are the privatized technological realm in which things can get interesting. What happens there are classified projects, if done for the federal government, but there are also completely private ones. Those "Special Access Projects" that Greer, for instance, has written about, that the sitting American president and Director of the CIA cannot find out about, even though such projects theoretically reside under their authority, is a doorway to the fantastical stuff, and the really good stuff ends up going out the back door into Godzilla's Golden Hoard. I do not consider myself an insider, but I have encountered enough robust facts and experiences on my journey to have a pretty good idea of the basic function.

    That the public even knows about the Skunk Works, or the Phantom Works, or Area 51, means that the interesting activities are no longer happening there, if they ever were. The good stuff is deeply privatized, and the public has never heard of the organizations that control it, other than conspiracist attempts to describe such organizations (Illuminati, Godzilla, etc.).

    I have written many times about Godzilla's contingency plan to terraform Mars as the ultimate survival enclave, and do not need to belabor it. That global cabal is essentially a dark path organization, and the Left prefers to deny its existence, in classic Level 3 fashion, but when Godzilla steps on you, after his lackeys dangle their carrots (1, 2), only the extremely foolish continue to deny his existence.

    But the cabal is well aware that its antics are helping make Earth uninhabitable, and dissent in the organization has grown over the years. I am virtually certain that disenchanted members of that organization are those who gave my friend that little show. Because there is a lot of heredity in the organization (the reason for dynasties like those are that family members are less likely to screw over each other), as I saw in my own family situation, that makes it harder to pick purely evil-minded people for the "team," so there are recruiting errors, as I would have been had my relative inducted me into the family "business." In the CIA, for instance, Ralph McGehee was a recruiting error, even though the CIA tries hard to prevent people of conscience from joining up. So, recruiting errors have made Godzilla's organization more fractured over the years, and some members (the sane ones ) do not want to continue toying with making Earth uninhabitable. Hence, the show that my friend received.

    But everybody at Godzilla's level knows that if FE and related technologies got into the public's hands, it would be game over for Godzilla and all elites, as their economic leverage is what keeps them in the chips, and artificially enforced scarcity is how they do it. If everybody lived in abundance, it would be game over for elites, and they know it. They do not fear the masses blowing up the planet or strip mining it. They fear losing their power and control, such are the hazards of the dark path.

    Godzilla has thus been trying to navigate between making Earth uninhabitable and retaining his power. The dark heart of that organization does not care one whit about making Earth uninhabitable if they lose their power, but the so-called White Hats have been trying to see how they could have their cake and eat it too, and I have long expected something like Lockheed's latest "breakthrough." On one hand, fusion reactors scattered across the planet could end the reign of fossil fuels and could go a long way toward helping forestall the Sixth Mass Extinction from getting too far out of hand and taking humanity with it. So, there would be some "progress" with such technology, but those reactors will probably retail for $1 billion or so per unit, so that the same capitalist forces would control them. The global power structure would remain largely intact, the masses would still be largely enslaved, and Godzilla could keep playing the game, although the slaves and Earth would be marginally better off. They might not need to unleash their population eradication contingency plan, in which they reduce the human population on Earth to 500 million people or so. Ironically, the Peak Oilers and their fellow travelers advocate a similar, "voluntary" plan, in their scarcity addictions, which has led to conspiracists accusing people like Heinberg of working for Godzilla, but those are just the delusional proclivities of conspiracists, just like they call Chomsky a "Left Gatekeeper." Noam is simply hemmed in by his ideological assumptions, like all rad lefties. No need to invoke some conspiracy to explain it.

    This kind of world would largely not come into view with the Lockheed energy "breakthrough." Again, for all of those with Level 5 fears, the Lockheed Method has nothing to do with fears of misuse of FE (they probably have ways to prevent that today, as I have written), but Godzilla's fear of losing his power. I sure will not stop what I am doing because of some fusion reactor scheme. There are many "reasonable" and sophisticated arguments out there for why FE is impossible or undesirable, but whenever I tried to get those advocates to dig below the veneer of their opinions, what they really feared was abundance and the end of the world as they knew it, as hard as that can be to believe. Is that reflecting our benighted souls' game of keeping intact this hellish game of scarcity and fear? If so, let's fire our souls.

    Anyway, that is how I see Lockheed's announcement, and the people involved with that project are likely oblivious to the dynamics that I just described, as they operate in compartmentalized, secret projects. It is easy to keep people like that in the dark.

    On a different subject, Melinda's writings about anarchism and my replies on Noam's view led to me being asked more about his views. I do not think that he wrote a book on it, but his views on anarchism are available on the Internet, such as at these links (1, 2).

    I have written about it plenty over the years, but I first heard of Chomsky from a roommate when Dennis was behind bars in Ventura. When I staggered out of Ventura a couple of years later, radicalized, I began my education in the alternative media in earnest and soon encountered Uncle Noam's work. Uncle Ed edited Lies of Our Times, and Noam contributed to it every month. It took me a couple of years to really begin to understand what Noam was writing about, so I am quite familiar with and sympathetic to people who are blown away by my work, because it blows away the "radicals," too. Abundance is the most radical idea on Earth today.

    In 1992, after a couple of years of digesting the work of Noam, Ed, Ralph, and others, I was driven out of my sleep to write a 17-page letter to Noam (I have been writing lengthy missives from the beginning ). Noam certainly lived up to his reputation for graciousness when I received a letter from him a couple of weeks later. He was "tantalized" by the information in my letter (about FE and its organized suppression), but said that I needed to contact an expert on those matters, as he knew very little about them. We corresponded a few more times, but it became evident that Noam had other concerns. I slowly began to understand the ideological convictions of the "radical" Left and other political stripes, and they are pretty much staunch Level 3s, as far as I have seen. Noam, Ed, and others were very gracious to me, and I have nothing but admiration for them, but I could also see how their ideological stances blinded them to the bigger picture of what was happening. But I found that to be the case with virtually everybody. Everybody has their scarcity-based ideological teddy bears that comfort them. FE and abundance is literally unimaginable to nearly everybody on Earth. It far exceeds the unimaginable nature of anything outside of the imperial assumptions, as far as the media was concerned, which Noam and Ed brilliantly dissected.

    To see how FE and abundance was too radical for the "radicals" to wrap their heads around was one of many sobering moments on my journey. In the end, there was no "expert" to consult about the issues that Noam declined to participate in, and as I look back, I ended up becoming an "authority" on those issues. I wish there were others, but the Real McCoys in the FE field are either dead, bought out, in their rocking chairs, or still at it, like Dennis is. I do not know of anybody else doing what I am, and it is a lonely feeling, let me tell you. When I lost Brian, I lost the person whose views were closest to mine. Building the choir is going to be long, hard work. While I have found some aspiring singers who want to publicly sing, the majority that I have contacted are afraid of being real people on the global stage (which means that they will be little help for what I will be attempting), or their awareness is short-circuited by their ideological commitments, and conspiracism is one of those pitfalls. Conspiracists, like structuralists, think like victims, and that fear-orientation is their primary limitation, not what particular beliefs they might have. Love is the answer and always has been.

    Time for chores.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    Somebody pointed out to me this morning that a book that collected Chomsky's thought on anarchism was published in 2006, so there is more there for those who are interested.

    Wade,

    Thanks for the hike pix...

    Awesome!

    Gordon Duff over at VT posted an article about suppressed technology and the paper he published certainly verifies your experience about the FE situation.

    "I was not surprised when scores of non committal authority pleasing academicians came forward to refute new hydrogen energy. It was rather like watching reflexive behavior in laboratory animals. I believe the next regulatory step will be to ban the production of these designs and devices outright. We should be prepared for the corporate onslaught. I personally believe that we should take our options as global citizens … and cultivate the new technology among disadvantaged nations."

    A quote from this rather disturbing article:

    http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/10...nsworth-fusor/

    Thanks Wade for your fine articles here. I am not qualified in the least to comment about that Farnsworth article above but just thought that I would share it for some opinions.

    Thanks....

    Wade,

    As a note on society, I was wondering about the move to legalize Marijuana and how that process of education and consciousnesses awareness was/is accomplished and I was wondering if this might be worth some thought or even a bit of discussion.

    This is not a for/against discussion on that subject just a look at how a monumental change happened in the State of Colorado and how when it was changed the sky did not fall and it looks to be a win-win for the elites along with everyone else in that State.

    And when I think about this I think about the dreamers or those activists out there educating folks about the benefits of this plant and the benefits to society that would come if it were made legal and how this one change came from a change in thinking of a small group of very dedicated individuals.

    When I think upon this It struck me on how many of these activists in the early days were jailed since to advocate for this plant would mean one must be using this plant.

    My gosh they even put Tommy Chong in jail....now he's on dancing with the stars....

    Again, this is not about advocating the use of this plant but in how the process of change in the human conscientious came about and is coming about...that's all...

    This might go along with your idea of building a core group of enlightened individuals who understand that everything is about energy use on this planet...the bottom line.

    One of the other things that I am thinking about is the concept of scarcity and I must admit that I never thought about that before and what that means and how some need this to control the herd.

    The tech seems to be there yet it is prohibited and so how to move from that point to a point of unlimited energy or the possibility of such energy even being possible.

    That is why I brought up the cannabis subject for examination and opinions. To study that movement or to look at it anyway for any answers at all.

    Thanks wade....

    Hi Nine:

    The lone scientist/inventor, working on novel energy technologies, truly has not had a prayer since Tesla. Many, many like Farnsworth have come and gone in the past century. The "lucky" ones got the buyout, while the less lucky had their lives wrecked or prematurely terminated. Since I starred in one of those tales, I do not make it a point to collect them like others have, but there are literally thousands of them out there, but we usually do not get to hear much about the ones in which they took the money, the national security state sequestered it, and so on. Often, we just have mysterious deaths, sudden silences, disappearances, etc. Energy has always been the Big One on Earth, and all disruptive energy technologies have been wiped out, sequestered, and so on.

    Yes, I am trying to help form a core of worldly enlightenment, to see what kind of dent that can make. Far more important than the marijuana issue is how reversing heart disease though diet and lifestyle has come in from the cold in my lifetime. Sometimes, progress is made, but in a world of scarcity and powerful interests manipulating the situations, the state of the public art can be as primitive as a cave man's club. As I have stated many times, because of that organized suppression and sequestering, the genuine stuff is long gone and what is in the public eye is the chaff, which further serves to discredit the entire issue.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    As readers know, I have been at this, in one way or another, for 40 years. The 40th anniversary of my mystical awakening comes in a couple of months, and I got my energy dreams at around the same time, as did many of my fellow travelers. Since then, I have had thousands of interactions with people on energy and related issues. In 1986, nearly 30 years ago, I began my FE chase, which had life-wrecking consequences.

    Although my initial years with Dennis provided the steep learning curve to my radicalization, the other years held many lessons for me, and one of the most important was seeing how virtually everybody missed the bulls-eye of what is really happening in the world today and how to remedy it. Scientific illiteracy was part of the problem, but it went far beyond that, too.

    Again, almost nobody really even cares, which was my journey's primary lesson, which I resisted every step of the way until I had it beaten into my head in no uncertain terms. FE newbies nearly invariably have that initial naïveté and denial, which is why they rush out to tell their social circles the Gospel of FE, to only be dismayed by the reactions that they receive. If they find even one person who begins to get it, they are doing well. I am sympathetic to that initial naïveté and denial, as I was once there, too, but if everybody had to go through what I did, FE would never get anywhere, as everybody would doggedly pursue the same paths of failure. That has actually largely been the case, with the FE field's state of arrested development today, as it is dominated by scientists and inventors without a prayer, as they dream of fame and fortune and think that they are either about the first people to ever think of FE, think about it the way that they do, or develop an FE prototype. They end up seducing their followers into thinking that they have some magical ingredient that the others did not have, and invoking divine sanction is common enough. So far, 100% of the time, that would-be FE hero is taken out, either by his own foibles (that is the standard fate), his followers wrecking his efforts due to their greed, fear, and the like, or by a little organized suppression, which rarely needed to become very overt or severe.

    During the 40 years that I have been at it, and going through my stages of naiveté, delusions of grandeur, radicalization, trading notes with fellow travelers, trying again in different ways, and interacting with thousands of people, both in person and via the Internet, I eventually developed a shorthand to categorize the kinds of reactions to the idea of FE that I encountered. Six years later, I have not seen any reactions that do not neatly fit into those categories. All reactions below Level 12 are based in unawareness, fear, denial, greed, and other unproductive perspectives. I never encountered anybody who started out as a Level 12, and I am not sure that there are truly any Level 12s but me right now. Those with the most promise of becoming a Level 12 are usually Level 10s, which is where I was for years, and Dennis and Brian never quite left it, but the last times that I interacted with both of them, they understood that my Level 12 approach was something different, and they perked up as they pondered it. Brian was planning to promote my Level 12 strategy just before he died, and Dennis thought that maybe Level 12 had a chance (if enough Level 12s could be trained), and may be the only path left to try. We will see, but I do not expect it to be easy. The hard part is for people to give up their beliefs and attitudes that see them get stuck in those lower levels. From what I have seen, what they all had in common was a scarcity-based framework and victim-orientation, and that comes from fear. That is another reason why I say that love is the answer.

    Every "bright idea" that I have seen from FE newbies has been rooted in fear, denial, trying to find the easy way out, and avoid doing the hard work. Those who will be in the choir have hard work ahead of them. There will be nothing easy about it. While I have designed what I am doing to make it hard for Godzilla and the other predators to successfully intervene, it does not mean that there will not be peril. But I warn of the perils, such as rushing out and telling social circles about the FE Gospel, but newbies just have to go and find out for themselves. The lucky ones did not wreck relationships and careers, and will come back to me with at least that lesson learned. The potentially fatal delusions lie along the tinkerer/businessman's path to FE, and men are particularly susceptible to those delusions, partly because men are conditioned to be heroes, or at least look like one. Claiming to be the Messiah is probably the epitome of that state.

    Digesting my big essay and being a real person on the Internet are bare minimum requirements for choir membership, and we will see how many can sing after doing the minimal work, for those few who even try. I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks, and went into this expecting it to be a long process; manifesting the biggest event in the human journey will not be easy. I designed what I am doing so that I can do it for another 30 years or more. We will see how it goes.

    Best,

    Wade

    I used to think that a future society would look like the one in the first picture on the website you just posted (site, picture).

    Now I look at that imagine and I notice: not a blade of grass in sight . I am not sure how long I would last there, as pretty and neat as it looks.

    This reminds me of the movie "Start Trek: Into the Darkness". There are some "flyby" scenes over the super advanced city, a glance at the night life and of course a look at how the mighty Federation operates from a military stand point. It looks a lot more shiny and futuristic than "The Next Generation" serries, but behind the surface all you can find really is more of the same scarcity ideas.

    It seems to me that the potential of the SciFi and Fantasy movies has been greatly limited. Big problems are no longer tackled and radically different solutions are no longer proposed. Instead of asking how it would be different, they only ask how it would look differently, purely from a fashion point of view.

    Right you are, Ilie. My heaven looks a lot like this. That Roads world completely blows away any "science fiction" that I have yet encountered. As a long-time consumer of science fiction and fantasy (which began at age 14 when my father handed me The Hobbit), I have long noted that most of it was a projection of current or past notions onto the future. As I have stated, for the previous Epochal Events, nobody could imagine what lied ahead. The cognitive and social changes that come with FE are the mind-boggling parts, not so much the material and technical changes, although they will be plenty mind-boggling in of themselves, as my friend got a taste of.

    That reminds of a Wright brothers anecdote. Not only did they labor in obscurity and ridicule for five years after they first flew, but they actually had to fly in France first, before the USA would accept their "fabled" claims of flight that anybody with a little gumption could have witnessed. The French were not welcoming, either, calling the Wright brothers "bluffers." I recall reading the account of a witness to their first French flight, with a disbelieving public there to watch. When their plane took off, there was a collective gasp of wonder from the crowd. At first, they literally could not believe it, but there it was, flying through the air, and well under control. So, in 1908, the Wright brothers became "instant" international celebrities, but had to leave the USA to do it.

    Seeing is believing, and that Wright brothers example is another reason why I say that FE talk with one's social circle is worthless. Until they can see it (and not some prototype or proof of concept demo, but something that stands there and cranks out the energy to power a house, for instance), they are not going to begin to understand.

    Best,

    Hi:

    I need to make a paradigmatic statement. I have presented many examples of what I am referring to, but I can tell that not many people really understand. A big purpose of my essay, and arguably the primary purpose of the essay, is to help people reach that understanding. About the only people that I am very interested in interacting with in my public work are those who have achieved that understanding or who are trying to. So here goes…

    Humans are animals, and more specifically, mammals and primates, and that has a long evolutionary heritage. A great deal of where human "nature" came from can be seen in studies of our evolutionary heritage. Like all life on Earth, if the energy essentials were not met, the rest did not matter, as the species would quickly go extinct.

    The primate line that led to humans, specifically simians, had many characteristics that can be seen in humans today. The primary human social unit is a mother and her offspring, and that goes for most simians. Male simians are generally larger than females, related to males vying for dominance in order to gain breeding privileges. In the ape line that led to humans, they changed the practice of males leaving their natal society to breed. Chimps and gorillas have male-dominated societies, and females really do not have much mating choice. Dominant males sexually coerce females and kill infants they did not father when they can, so that the females will breed with the killers, as hard as that can be for humans to comprehend.

    One isolated great ape culture overcame that male penchant for violence and dominance, and they did it because their food supply doubled when gorillas left the region. If their food supply did not double as it did, bonobos would never have changed as they did, and would be just like other chimps. If the economic event had not happened, the social event never would have. The social event was an effect, not a cause, of economic improvement. The human journey has been exactly like that, and a primary purpose of my essay is helping people understand that.

    Humans are social animals, and they constantly play games of dominance and survival with each other. But social and cognitive changes were primarily always results of economic changes. Just what energy trick grew the human brain is still debated and will likely be for the rest of my life, but nobody argues against the idea that acquiring the energy to grow the brain was the key factor in the evolution of humans. Without the energy boost, the rest would not have happened. If humans had not mastered language and the complex thought patterns that interacted with them, humans would not have conquered the planet and driven all competing animals, including all other human species, to extinction. The energy of large animals drove that expansion.

    Similarly, everything that we call civilization, and the related human behaviors and accomplishments, were dependent on the energy provided by domesticating plants and animals. If those domestication events had not happened, all of humanity would have probably remained at the Australian Aborigine level of political economy until this day: hunter-gatherers in a state of constant intertribal warfare. Without the energy event, the rest would not have happened.

    I have written plenty recently on the increased energy usage of the Industrial Revolution, and how energy-driven machines making human labor uncompetitive was the ultimate reason for the end of slavery. The social and cognitive events followed the economic ones.

    It will very likely be the same way with the advent of FE. The world that I envision that FE can form the foundation of cannot appear unless FE does. Also, our energy practices are quickly making Earth uninhabitable, which is another reason why FE needs to make its appearance soon. As I recently wrote, Godzilla has been trying to straddle a new energy regime without losing his power, and the recent "breakthrough" at Lockheed is an avenue that I have long expected Godzilla to allow/promote.

    Humans like the taste of sweet and fatty foods, because of their high-energy content, which reflects our evolutionary heritage. Humans constantly try to guess what others are thinking and look for social cues. Humans always seek to punish society's freeloaders, but humans are notoriously poor in guessing the motivation of others. As I discovered the hard way on my journey, the masses cannot distinguish the psychopaths from the saints. At first, I could not believe that people could be so stupid, as they continually slit their own throats, but I finally came to accept it, and later I read people such as Hitler making the same observation. Chomsky has been discussed here recently, and a key theme of his political thought is the rise of public relations and the scientific management of the public's mind. It can be found in many places on the Internet (1, 2, 3).

    Basically, people's pre-sentient proclivities were preyed upon by unscrupulous social managers, such as the desire for sweet and fatty foods, various inebriants, the penchant for following the leader, looking at social cues to guess what people thought (although the "theory of mind" is considered early sentient behavior), etc. Those human traits have been mercilessly exploited, and I have watched people embrace certain death rather than question their conditioning. I could not believe it first, but when a friend did it just last year, I had long since stopped being surprised.

    The bottom line is that social movements are useless for enacting epochal change. But almost everybody who sniffs FE wants to play the social game to make FE happen, such as engaging their social circles. That strategy has never come close to working and is unlikely to, and that is not what I am trying to do. All social activities are essentially playing the pre-sentience game, and we need to play the sentience game if we are going to make it as a species.

    This is not really a new idea. The Jesus of the New Testament argued for sentience, and pointed out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and said that the only way to understand anybody's motivation was by seeing the fruit of their actions. He also made what is probably the most enlightened statement that has yet been delivered to humanity, which is that there is not really an "out-group," when he said to love the enemy.

    The Internet's social media is little more than chatter. The social and cognitive changes that I envision will be a result of the new energy regime, not a cause. That is why nobody is going to change the world, and especially rescue humanity's bacon, with a social movement. As Fuller noted, political systems competition was useless activity for trying to right humanity's ship, and that goes double for social movements. People need to raise their awareness far above social and political ideas if we are going to forestall our demise by our own hand.

    Back to chores.

    Best,

    I used to think that a future society would look like the one in the first picture on the website you just posted (site, picture).

    Now I look at that imagine and I notice: not a blade of grass in sight . I am not sure how long I would last there, as pretty and neat as it looks.

    This reminds me of the movie "Start Trek: Into the Darkness". There are some "flyby" scenes over the super advanced city, a glance at the night life and of course a look at how the mighty Federation operates from a military stand point. It looks a lot more shiny and futuristic than "The Next Generation" serries, but behind the surface all you can find really is more of the same scarcity ideas.

    It seems to me that the potential of the SciFi and Fantasy movies has been greatly limited. Big problems are no longer tackled and radically different solutions are no longer proposed. Instead of asking how it would be different, they only ask how it would look differently, purely from a fashion point of view.
    The gigantic tree ("Hometree") in the jungle in the movie Avatar was much closer to my fantasy of a future society. Well, I could handle a bit...oh hell, a lot, more technology, but only if the reverence for and connection to Mother Earth/Gaia was always kept in the forefront.

    Hi Dennis:

    Seeing Avatar is how I ended up in line behind Bill Gates, and next to my big-screen plasma TV is the Avatar blue ray that I pretty regularly fire up (like a couple of weeks ago), primarily for the rainforest scenes (I have not made the leap to 3-D at home, and do not know when I will). The irony is not lost on me of using the state of the art technology to present a "natural" world in more realism than had ever been done before. When I finished watching Avatar the first time, it was like I was returning to Earth (I ran into Gates when I saw it the second time – saw it four times in all at the theater (3 time in IMAX)).

    Technology and a vibrant nature by no means are mutually exclusive, as that Roads world demonstrated. On my list of things to do is writing a little tale about a day in the life of an inhabitant of that Roads world.

    Best,

    Wade

    I agree Ilie - particularly with your point that :

    "the potential of the SciFi and Fantasy movies has been greatly limited. Big problems are no longer tackled and radically different solutions are no longer proposed."

    I really got into this when I started sketching a 'future of cities' post - which keeps getting longer and hence needs more editing

    On a slightly different but related note, big-budget movies that shed a positive light on extra-terrestrial interaction seem depressingly outnumbered by ones that don't. I'm all for exploring our shadow side, as art holds up a mirror to our psyches and existence - but too much of that, as with the overly prevalent dystopian projections of our future, and the picture becomes imbalanced. The audience's subconscious is repeatedly reinforced with the message that the concepts will evoke fear and survival instincts.

    Avatar is a very special film, but it still includes a blustering showdown as part of its resolution. I would have watched that movie over and over if it had focused on and delved deeper into the spiritual relationship with the forest. Not enough films are offered where those aspects of stories are perceived as fulfilment. Partly because men are conditioned to be heroes to prove themselves, as Wade touched upon, and in Hollywood this often takes the form of brandishing a weapon with flair. An aspiration that's increasingly aimed at women also, stimulating adrenalin, unless you're anaesthetised – in which case you could be worried about your state of being for other reasons.

    The way microchip boards resemble aerial views of cities provides a neat visual comparison for the future. As progress facilitates us storing more information on smaller computers, down to nanotechnology, progress can also make the sprawling grids of cities obsolete by localising infrastructure. In a world of abundance the macrocosm can be increasingly discovered in the microcosm, with the resultant diminishing of survival issues creating environments that support our development of psychic potential. Rediscovering the universe through the power we possess within. That is the future I see. Not one where where we hand the role of consciousness to robots. As Wade says, a world of advanced technology and a healthy relationship with earth do not have to conflict with one another.

    If people with free-energy-powered homes and transportation choose to live in greener, less densely-populated areas (as I would) you can obviously eliminate much underground and overground wiring. Another issue I would personally like to see resolved is information broadcasts (e.g. telecommunication / internet) utilising frequency bands in a way that's benign to our health. An issue of increasing importance as people spread out over larger areas. Barrie Trower has talked about the danger of microwaves, and Richard Alan Miller has spoken openly about the ELF radiation from transmission towers. Making it safe may not be the priority it should be in a world of scarcity and competition, but in a world of abundance it would be a prerequisite.

    An interesting issue (to my mind) would be how to revolutionise water transportation as people spread out over greater distances. Perhaps one way would be to have systems that draw and purify water from the air, evaporating waste water (once purified) into the atmosphere. All homes, mobile or otherwise, could have filtration and even re-mineralising systems to clean and reinvigorate water for reuse. That would be a vast improvement on what comes out of my tap now. In extreme cases where large amounts are needed, anti-gravity tankers could travel at high speeds to oceans and desalinate the quantity needed. I would love to read what engineers, architects and scientists had to say about water systems, given the basis of clean energy and a supportive environment.

    The downside to thinking about this is that I'd rather like to live in my self-sufficient FE home right now. Knowing I could recycle my waste, grow my own food, create and communicate globally using a tiny computer, all the while living in forest clearings beneath the shimmer of the stars.

    Plenty of time, in an FE world, to walk freely with friends - conversing with the creatures and the trees.
