WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

A pal made a PowerPoint presentation of the Epochal Phases of the human journey, and I put it on my site, here (.pdf version here). I give some nods to making it easier to be introduced to, but anybody that I seek for the choir can only be introduced to the material through something like that. I suppose that something like that could be considered the syllabus for the last third of the curriculum for the introductory course in comprehensive thinking. People can use it however they wish, just like with all of my published material.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, I just looked at that new presentation of yours, and what is it about the near-linear relationship between economic production and energy, such as Japan's?

A: It is one of the more important concepts in my big essay, I think, to understand that relationship. On one hand, it is amazing that more people do not understand it, but on the other, economists are actively trained away from the idea that it all rides on energy, as the economics profession ignores energy in favor of social theories and the magic of the market and capital. That history's greatest energy mogul funded the institution that has actively obscured that relationship may not be a mere coincidence. Work performed is the foundation of all economies and always has been, whether it was people, animals, or machines performing the work.

Part of my strategy for writing my essay the way that I did was so that when humans entered the play, the energy issue was seated front-and-center, and the human journey and even the journey of life on Earth could be seen as an energy journey, so that the abstractions of modern ideologies did not obscure what was really happening. Modern ideologies, to one degree or another, are all about brainwashing and egocentrism, and preventing people from seeing the big picture as they see no further than their in-group's welfare. When people do that, they abdicate their sentience. Until we relinquish in-group ideologies, we will not be fully sentient.

Roughly half of the energy that industrialized societies use goes to running machines, and half goes to generating heat. Around 1-2% goes to feeding people. People produce almost none of the real work that makes their societies run. Machines produce 99.9% of it. So, Gross Domestic Product (AKA "GDP") almost all comes from the work that machines produce. People basically tend machines and play games of exchange, and little more than that. When people can begin to see how the world really works, then they will begin to understand the epochal significance of FE. Until they can understand that, they get caught up in all manner of distraction, which includes many New Age concepts, and other paths that lead nowhere. If we do not solve the energy issue, and fast, the rest literally will not matter.

Also, the real economy that financial analysts write about, who understand that financial concepts are largely meaningless abstractions, is anthropocentric, in that it only measures human welfare. When FE makes its appearance and humanity begins to become a truly sentient species, the welfare of all life on Earth will be humanity's concern, and humanity's systems of thought and measurement will reflect that. Then that Star Trek future and beyond will be here, and I think that nearly everybody on Earth, except for committed dark pathers, will eagerly sign up.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, to your previous post, those "committed dark pathers" seem to have a great deal of influence in the world today, and can prevent that world that you envision from coming into being. How do you plan to handle them?

A: Very carefully. Seriously, the dark pathers who seem to call the shots on Earth are one of the biggest tripping points for making FE happen, and not really because of their actual "power," but because of the dysfunctional way that everybody else reacts to their existence. It is actually the same way that the masses react to the idea of FE: with denial and fear. The denial and fear of the masses is the real problem, not what the "bad guys" are up to, and people really do not begin to understand that until they try to do something that makes a difference. There is no bigger difference-maker than FE, and the "bad guys" know it well, even if the masses are largely oblivious.

I found that almost everybody either denies that the "bad guys" exist or are influential, or they think that they are the root of our problems. Both are delusional notions, but nearly all humans are in thrall to them today. The greatest and most pernicious delusion is thinking that dark pathers are really good guys. I live in a nation where mass-murdering thieves and genocidists were held up to me as heroes worthy of my admiration. I am still recovering from that indoctrination, and about 99% of my fellow citizens are so deeply in thrall to those delusions that they do not even question them. I found that the masses cannot distinguish dark pathers from light pathers. The "Give us Barabbas!" story richly applies to today's humanity. Nothing much has changed on that front for two millennia, which I learned the hard way during my adventures, and one of my earliest big awakening moments happened only a few months into my FE journey with Dennis.

Unthinkingly submitting to indoctrination into in-group ideologies based on lies is a human universal, and it took me many years to finally see that universal nature. After my astronaut pal played the Paul Revere of FE for several years, and had access to the highest levels of science and academia, and all that he received were responses of fear and denial, he began to openly wonder if humanity was a sentient species. A couple of years later, I was able to generalize what I had seen for so many years: they were all addicted to scarcity and their scarcity-based ideologies that promised them material rewards and egocentric strokes if they "drank the Kool-Aid."

I was 30 years into my journey before I finally decided to permanently abandon the approaches that I had long been a part of, witnessed, or heard about from fellow travelers. The "bad guys" and masses are both useless for making FE happen, and each is a significant barrier in their own way, with the masses' egocentric inertia and semi-sentient and easily manipulated awareness the biggest obstacle by far, and I do not seek to engage either of those groups. As my astronaut pal said, combined positive intention is the key, and I know that if I can find and train 5,000-to-7,000 people to reach heart-centered and comprehensive understandings of how the world really works, it would be laughably easy to make FE happen. The "bad guys" could do little about it, and the masses will begin to finally wake up when the means to abundance are delivered into their lives. They will not wake up before then, and anybody who seriously doubts that has no experience on the high road to FE.

What I am asking of my recruits is anything but easy, and they will not be easy to find (they will have rare qualities), but I believe that they exist on Earth in the numbers that I need.

So, I am mindful of the "bad guys," and have designed what I am doing so that it is not easily susceptible to their mischief. If I can find those singers, what the "bad guys" do will simply not matter, and they will either slink away or decide to turn toward the light. That is their choice, and I am following mine. Yes, they could "take me out," but I am planning to survive my final effort in this lifetime and live to see FE manifest in the public sphere. Then the fun begins.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, what is all of this ricocheting around on topics? One is on dinosaurs, another on Godzilla (OK, maybe those are related topics), then on economics and energy, the roles of women and men…heck, what is your purpose?

A: There is a definite method to my madness, and it is intended to help readers develop comprehensive perspectives. Comprehensive perspectives are not easily attained, and I am trying to assist that process. The greatest barrier to attaining a comprehensive perspective is tunnel vision. Specialists can suffer from it, but so do people in fear, or those who cannot hold more than one thought in their head at a time. People with low IQs may not be able to handle the complex thought that underlies a comprehensive perspective, and that is one reason why people with scientific training are probably more capable of achieving comprehensive perspectives. But scientists have their own problems, such as their naïveté and the rationalist/materialist paradigm that they usually work under. A comprehensive perspective has to embrace and integrate those seemingly disparate perspectives.

When people achieve that, they will also understand that energy runs the show on Earth and always has. That is the benefit of scientific literacy, but scientific literacy is only part of the puzzle. For instance, I cite one of Steven Pinker's books in my big essay, but Pinker later wrote an imperialist valentine, reflecting his employment in the heart of the liberal imperial establishment at Harvard. The New York Times is the leading imperial mouthpiece in the USA, and it predictably fell over itself in praising Pinker's imperial magnum opus. So, scientists have their blind spots and agendas, and surely cannot all be counted on to act with the integrity needed for an effort like mine to succeed. They kept making the atom bomb when there was no imminent threat from the Nazis or anybody else.

I written many times on the kind of people I seek, and scientific literacy is not the most important attribute. My big essay with written with laypeople in mind, not scientists. If you have ever mastered a subject, you will not need notes and guides to discuss it, but you will have it all in your head and be able to discuss different facets of it, and you find that discussing from different angles can lead to new insights. My "ricocheting" is partly designed to break down disciplinary boundaries and make the connections clearer, so that the conversations do not get straightjacketed into history, or science, or what Godzilla, the ETs, or Ascended Masters are up to, and when comprehensive perspectives begin to form, people will be able to discern what is important and what is less so. For instance, when people really begin to understand the role of energy in our world, the motivation behind the West's meddling and invading in the Middle East and vicinity for the past century becomes clear, and the vapid pronouncements of politicians and their enablers are seen for what they really are, if we even pay attention to them. People have to be able to see the forest from the trees to understand, and they have to want to understand, which not many people really do.

So, while I sympathize with readers who feel "ricocheted," that bouncing around between subjects like that is intended to make their connections clearer, and eventually a "web" of understanding will develop. I partly developed my perspective by that process, and I knew it was helpful.

Wade

Wade's Big Essay is the most succinct and brilliant analysis of the human journey that I've ever come across, and I encourage everybody to dive in whenever they're ready. In order to understand the current human condition, it is important to have a deep understanding of the "what, why, and how" factors that have shaped us into where we are today. We live in a universe of abundance whether we acknowledge it or not, and it's time that we put on our big boy/girl shoes and step out into the reality that awaits our collective creativity.

My favorite chapter by far is: Humanity’s Third Epochal Event: The Domestication Revolution. In this chapter Wade analyzes and discusses the major transition of people into a society based on agrarianism and job-specialization. This transition was a product of the inevitable human desire to branch out and advance, but one cannot help but wonder if this notion was guided by a huge dose of naiveté. If I were to rename the chapter to really open up the eye-lids of people, I'd name it "The Root of Mother Culture's Raping of Mother Earth."

Specifically, the chapter discusses the beginnings of domestication, the herding of people into close living-quarters, and the creation of jobs, organized religion, and States. Without euphemizing or sugar-coating anything, the societal structure that we see today stems from the decision to live in cities. The very concept of cities has always intrigued me, and it puzzles me when I hear somebody say that that they truly enjoy living in them. In fact, I don't believe them. I contend that anybody who sees the modern city as being a great place to live is either lying, under indoctrination and mind-control, or both.

I do not necessarily believe that the concept of cities is inherently flawed, but I will contend that all modern constructions of cities are. The debate whether human behavior has been triggered and guided by "Nature vs. Nurture" and "Religion vs. Science" has been a never-ending battle between theologians, scientists, and poets alike for a long time. If we are ever going to reach the Fifth Epochal Event, then we are going to need to realize that we need a healthy balance of spirituality, that neither the extreme naiveté of Organized Religion nor the rigid skepticism of Scientism can provide.

I feel that any technology that we create should be used solely to enhance our spirituality, which ultimately is to have a better understanding of the universe and our place in it. If the technology does not aid in our spiritual advancement, then it has no place in our future society. Humanity seems to have taken on the bold stance that we can conquer 'God," and become gods ourselves. The domestication of animals in my opinion is a clear example of humans not thinking before acting, as the world is littered with invasive species that destroy native species, dogs and cats suffering by the millions due to homelessness and neglect, and ultimately a large decrease in energy and resources.

This mindset is an inherently flawed one, and the consequences of our actions are manifesting right in front of our eyes. It seems that humanity's choice to live a more sedentary lifestyle through job specialization and living in cities was the root of most of the problems that we see today.

I can pick apart this chapter and write a 400-page essay on it alone, so I think I'l leave it at this for now.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Robin:

I am glad that you liked that chapter. I find it interesting what people find interesting in my work. I have more than 40 essays on my site, and nearly every one is somebody's favorite (or least favorite! ). That Domestication Revolution chapter I think is the longest in the essay, and probably more study over the past generation went into writing that chapter than any other one in that essay.

For me, I always imagined the events that I wrote about, going all the way back to the Sun firing up 4.6 billion years ago. If I am imagining them accurately or not is a question that I cannot answer, but scientists do something similar, holding fossils in their hands and thinking about the lives of the creatures that left them. My editor wondered if I was engaging my psychic abilities when I imagined the events in the big essay. Not consciously.

The issue that you bring up, of the roots of humanity's rape of Earth, is one that I tried to deal with in the essay, and I have long thought about it. It really goes back to the journey of life on Earth. It could be argued that heterotrophy (AKA "eating other organisms") was the beginning of "rape" of other organisms. The "arms race" that began in the Cambrian Explosion shows how fiercely the energy game was played. Was there malice? Was there love? I do not know. When the Americas joined and North American mammals drove so many South American species to extinction, was there even any awareness on the part of any of the participants? Malice? Love?

When those South American mammals were driven to extinction, our ancestors were about to craft the first stone tools across the Atlantic Ocean, in Africa. For probably millions of years prior to making the first stone tools, chimpanzees engaged in genocide of neighboring bands, killed off the infants and took the females as booty, and the females would then mate with the killers. Chimps can pass the mirror test, which few species can do. Are they sentient? Are we? When the chimp food supply south of the Congo doubled when gorillas left the shrinking rainforest, females and non-dominant males ended a several-million-year practice, and sex, not violence, dominates bonobo societies. They may be gentler than any human society has ever been. Are bonobos more enlightened than humans?

When some other chimps were forced from the shrinking rainforest, they learned to walk upright and became human. A lot of mystical material states that humans and cetaceans are the only ensouled species on Earth. So, when did our line become ensouled? Australopiths? Habilines? Homo erectus? How about Neanderthals? They would have been recognizably human and might have been able to converse with us. The great apes can learn sign language. Where do we draw the line?

When humans mastered language and developed the most advanced toolset in Earth's history to that time, they left Africa and conquered the world. Within 50,000 years or so, they not only drove all of Earth's easy meat to extinction, but they also drove all other human species to extinction (while also interbreeding with them, probably along the lines of rape or prostitution, I would wager), and they began setting huge fires that greatly altered ecosystems, even destroying them. Was there any "morality" to any of that? I don't know.

The evidence is that humans had Golden Ages just like other animals did, and when there was plenty and new territory to inhabit, murdering each other did not make economic sense, but when all the easy meat was gone, in a few places on Earth where it was possible, people learned to domesticate plants and animals. The evidence is strong that humanity was far more violent, proportionally, before the Domestication Revolution. The logic of those hunter bands was just like those chimps: kill the neighbors and take their territory. With hunter-gatherers, there was no way to tax the conquered, so annihilation and taking their territory made the most economic sense.

When civilization appeared, it was initially peaceful. As the city-states of Sumer began fighting over water and land, which was the basis of their food supply, then humans began having mass warfare, and do to this day. Cities are thought to have been problem-solving constructs, and as I have written, there has not been an energetically sustainable city in world history. The industrialized world is only "sustained" by burning up its primary energy supply a million times as fast as it was created. A lot good and bad came from civilization, but other than a few brief Golden Ages (until the energy ran out), when was it ever really good?

Yes, indeed, specialization has been a very mixed blessing, and my essay is specifically intended to overcome the tunnel vision that nearly all people have toward their world. We need to think big, wide, and deep, if we are going to turn the corner as a species. Or, at least the choir does.

I encourage you to think about these questions. These are great choir subjects of dialogue. I think they are important. I do know that love is vitally important and likely the reason we are here. I know that if an FE effort is not grounded in love above all else, it will fail. There is a lot more to write regarding your nice and provocative post, but the old man has to go to bed now.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

To continue with a response to Robin's great post, if we look at humanity's Epochal Events, each had upsides and downsides, both within humanity and in its relations with Earth and her denizens. Monkeys are social animals, unlike most prosimians, and macaques and their Machiavellian social organization has pronounced echoes in human social organization. Apes are different, and their economic situations impact their social and political ones. Gibbons are monogamous, although extremely territorial. Orangutans are fairly solitary, and flanged males viciously fight each other while the unflanged rape females whenever they can. Africa is where apes evolved, and while there are no fossils of gorillas at all (rainforests poorly preserve fossils), DNA and other evidence shows that gorillas share a common ancestor with humans, somewhere around 7-10 million years ago, and like chimps, they likely have not evolved much since then. Chimps split from gorillas, as gorillas got the best situation in the heart of the rainforest while what became chimps were pushed to the edges. Around five million years ago, as the rainforest continued to shrink as Earth headed toward this ice age, some marginal chimps were pushed out of the rainforest altogether and lived in the woodland fringes. They eventually learned to walk upright, which led to humanity.

Gorillas have a patriarch/harem social organization, chimps have a coalitionary organization, and females bear the brunt of them. Some scientists wonder if those bipedal apes of several million years ago were organized more like macaques than chimps. We may never know, but we can definitely see vestiges of macaque, gorilla, and chimp social organization in human societies. I have kind of harped on it, but some chimps had their food supply double when gorillas left the region as the rainforest disappeared during a glacial episode, probably about a million years ago, and the females and non-dominant males radically changed their social organization and are the most peaceful apes on Earth today, including humans. Chimps are genocidal, and male chimps and gorillas murder infants they did not father.

In the human journey, at times the human line was peaceful, generally when they tapped a new energy source and had a brief Golden Age, usually until the easy energy ran out. It was always relative energy abundance, not absolute, consistent with the mode of production, which mattered. For perhaps two million years, the human line was relatively peaceful, as any competition for energy (food) was easily resolved by simply moving to unpeopled land. When all of Earth's easy meat was exterminated, however, inter-human violence became pronounced. The only exceptions were in a few areas where the meat was so overhunted that hunting took a backseat to gathering, which was women's work, and in certain conditions (warm climates with dry seasons), people learned to domesticate plants. Women's status rose in those societies to the degree where they became matrilocal, and those were relatively peaceful societies. The "success" of that practice eventually led to growing agricultural surpluses and men again asserted their dominance, and those societies began to become violent again, and it led to state formation. The only four pristine states all had remarkable similarities, which reflected the Universal People's reactions to similar economic conditions. As the physical strength of men became economically valuable again, men's status rose and women's fell. It remained that way until the rise of machines in the Industrial Revolution, which also ended chattel slavery.

I do not need to belabor the many downsides of those processes, as I mention them plenty in my work and Robin mentioned some of them in his post. There were certainly upsides and downsides to the specialization of labor that the agricultural surplus provided. Without the development of professions, there would have never been metallurgy, writing, or really anything beyond a horticultural existence and huts. Some might celebrate such an existence, but I am not one of them. I will agree that in the human journey, those brief Golden Ages could be relatively pleasant times to live in, but they were always bookended by grim times. The basic pattern for at least 50,000 years has been:

• Find a new energy source;
• Plunder it to exhaustion, but live the good life (AKA "peace and plenty") until it is exhausted;
• The new energy resource, if much larger than the previous one, led to radical economic change, which would lead to radical social and political change (it never worked the other way around – tapping the new energy source was always the important causal event, and the other developments were dependent on exploiting the new energy source);
• As the energy resource became exhausted, violent conflict over the dwindling resource increased;
• Unless a new resource was exploited, the resource would deplete to the extent that the society would collapse, and could go extinct, either through starvation or the peoples migrated to lands that had not yet been shorn of their energy resources.

That pattern held (with a few Stone Age partial exceptions), whether it was megafauna, forests, or soils, and we are seeing it happen before our eyes today with hydrocarbons, as the world's biggest killing machine is ensconced in the midst of the region that holds the world's last easy hydrocarbons, and it has killed off several million people in the past generation, and we may well be seeing the early stages of the war that ends industrial civilization, and we go back to rocks and spears, for the few "lucky" survivors.

Of course, I advocate the energy resource that will likely never be depleted, but today, the entire planet, except for those who control access to that energy resource today, reacts to the very idea of the energy resource and the effort to limit access to it with fear and denial. The reactions are so crazed that my astronaut pal began openly wondering if humanity was a sentient species.

I eventually realized that people were acting out of the same in-group mentality that motivates macaques, as they sold out their sentience for the promise of energy security. The irony can be mind-boggling, and those who control access to that inexhaustible energy resource have mastered self-serving orientation. They have used humanity's in-group mentality to herd humanity, and we are collectively heading toward the cliff today, but almost nobody in the thundering herd knows or cares in the slightest. I seek those who do.

Bucky Fuller found that young people were much better at shedding their in-group ideologies than their elders were. So, youngsters like Robin are going to be more receptive to my message than codgers my age and older. But they still will be needles in haystacks. The most enlightened message ever delivered to humanity was that there really is no out-group, but people fighting over scarce energy resources have never comprehended it. In my opinion, humanity will not begin to really understand that message while energy is scarce. Some tiny fraction may be able to, such as spiritual masters. I seek a more modest level of sentience, but, as always, it begins in the heart.

I really could go on for days in replying to Robin's thoughtful post, but briefly, professions are OK (but the useless ones will disappear, including mine), cities as currently conceived are not, and I expect that they will largely disappear in a humanity that uses FE. As Robin noted, religion and science, as currently conceived, on their own are very limited disciplines and have been turned into rackets all too often. The greatest science of all is likely the science of consciousness, and mainstream science has yet to even glimpse it. The heart is all-important, but it must be wedded to a functioning mind (with the brain's right and left sides operating in harmony) if we are going to turn the corner. Regurgitating dogma will not get us there, neither will airy-fairy magical thinking, neither will blinkered materialism. I am trying to amass a group that can hit notes in chorus never heard on Earth before, which will segue to another post that I have been meaning to write.

I have been told that I am an Old Artisan soul, and I'll buy that. My website, especially my big essay, is classic Old Artisan work. That comprehensive thinking that I promote is something that probably only Artisans could invent, as we operate on several different levels at once, and are the only soul role that does that. Integrating it all into something new is what Artisans do. But Artisans such as Einstein could only "set the paradigm," so to speak. They are the idea people, who bring new ways of thinking and viewing the cosmos into being. With my big essay, I have laid the big egg for my lifetime, and my work is largely finished. The sense of relief that it is engendering in me is profound. I won’t be truly "finished" until I take my last breath, but I will not write anything like my big essay again in this lifetime.

But, taking visions and making them real is going to be the province of Priests, Warriors (Mature Warriors and older), Servers, Kings, and Sages. Scholars will be studying my work for a long time. I have budgeted the rest of my lifetime's "spare" time to building that choir, but it will be up to others to hit the notes in chorus, to "make it happen," and usher in the new Epoch of the human journey. Brian and Mr. Professor shortened their lives as they inched this along, Dennis's efforts have truly been incredible to witness, and I sacrificed my life to take my path. Dennis and I are far closer to the end of our lives than the beginning, and we made what dents we could, but it will likely be up to others to take it over the top, and it can only be done with love.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As I have written, when I completed the 2002 version of my website, which still comprises the bulk of my site today, I was a seat-of-the-britches comprehensivist who did not know that I was one until one of Bucky Fuller's pupils informed me. Reading Fuller's work was revelatory for me, and helped crystallized the paradigm that I had been groping toward for nearly 30 years at the time, ever since I got my dream of changing the energy industry. Be careful what you wish for.

Just as I finished reading some of Fuller's work, I encountered the Peak Oilers, just as the USA invaded Iraq. Brian O recruited me to help found NEM a couple of months later, and the next month I resumed my career. For the next decade, I worked long hours in the high tech industry and studied in my "spare" time, and in 2013 I began writing my big essay. I had to fend off many slings and arrows as I wrote the essay, but got it done on my terms, and I can only be grateful for that.

My midlife crisis began in 2000, entered its dark phase with Mr. Professor's death (and the USA's collective insanity after 9/11 was no fun) and I did not begin to climb out of it until Dennis invited me to the White House in 2006. In the depths of the worst days of my midlife crisis, I wrote what may have been my most enjoyable essay to write, which was about abundance. As I look back, it was probably therapy and a break from the blackness, but I also wrote it because I was seeing that almost nobody really had the foggiest idea what abundance really meant, particularly on a societal and global level. Without abundant energy, actual abundance is impossible.

Fuller wrote about the shared austerity that was behind attempts to build Utopia, and he mentioned that they never worked and never would. I saw the extreme austerity that not only founded the perspectives of Peak Oilers, but when trying to interest people like that in true abundance, as they actually expressed an interest in it, they usually ran away, shrieking. Those kinds of reactions drove Brian into openly wondering if humanity was really a sentient species. I interacted with a Peak Oiler who committed suicide, "inspired" by his grim vision.

More than that, I saw Peak Oilers, environmentalists, and "sustainability" advocates fail to understand what abundance meant, and their blindness seemed purposeful at times, and was one of the data points that led to writing my essay on comprehending abundance-based paradigms. But that 2006 essay on what abundance was was that essay's ancestor, and that 2008 essay brought Brian fully back into my life after the NEM fiasco. I saw those various parties write about exuberance and "sustainable," but none of them seemed capable of comprehending abundance. When I saw my essay discussed in cyberspace, the discussions again showed that they had no idea of what abundance really meant.

I have visited intentional communities and been informed of many others, and in my circles are people who live in them, used to live in them, have founded them, and I even was run out of my home by an intentional hippie community. And the scientifically literate and intelligent ones finally realized that their communities were based on that shared austerity that Bucky wrote about, and all were a far cry from abundance. But I still see people bandy about the word "abundance" and those intentional communities. Without FE, no abundance ideas are feasible that I am aware of. As I wrote in my previous post, there have been periods of relative abundance, and they marked humanity's brief "Golden Ages," and I was born in the midst of the greatest one ever, but I also witnessed its end and am living to see the slow decline of industrial civilization as it runs out the energy supplies used to build and run it.

I think that I can categorically state that without abundant energy, there is no such thing as abundance. Until humanity taps a truly abundant energy source (one that we do not deplete and is truly abundant, as in we get as much as we want), there will never be true abundance. I even see so-called post-scarcity thinkers fail to understand that pretty simple concept. Again, scarcity is baked deeply into human awareness, and until FE or something very like it makes its appearance, there will not be anything like true abundance on Earth, although I still see people act like it is achievable if we just shuffle the deck a little ("Let's just share, and we can have abundance."). Energy runs the show on Earth and always has. Until energy is truly abundant, no abundance ideas really have a chance of becoming real, but will exist in the realm of fairy tales.

Best,

Wade

Post #4565 by Robin Galdek : “If the technology does not aid in our spiritual advancement, then it has no place in our future society.”

Loved these words Robin. A beautiful affirmation.

We have been swimming in an abusive culture, that results in abuse through technology. Fracking being the latest in a long line of abominations. Technology comes from us and as such has only ever been a reflection of what we are ready to create. But use it to raise the standard of living across the globe, through a safe, clean, abundant energy culture, and priorities can shift. No more technology for plundering or escapism (to escape the pervasive consequences of that plunder.) But a culture that inspires new ways of thinking, feeling and interacting. Inventors and designers (no longer restricted by market-manipulators) whose motivations are no longer tainted by scarcity, but moved by beauty, and the sense in attaining harmony.

It's hard to meditate your way into the skills of telekinesis, subtle telepathy or spontaneous physical regeneration, when you live amidst war and / or poverty, and are exhausted by labour and the grip of fear. So daily that you can barely remember any different, let alone imagine a new way of life.

But heal the external circumstances, and remove the source of competition (over material resources) that lies behind so much conflict, and watch the love flow, instinctively, gradually, and often with relief, from people all around the earth. Recurrently.

[...] ...Until energy is truly abundant, no abundance ideas really have a chance of becoming real, but will exist in the realm of fairy tales...

I see this all the time. Sometimes in myself. Addictions to scarcity, to crutches, to the wrong foods, the wrong jobs, the wrong ideas. I find it incredible to think what a difference it will make for everyone to experience an independent, self-sufficient way of the life through an FE culture. To know you can meet your own needs, and everyone else can meet theirs. People interacting with kindness and truth with who they wish to, because they can. Rather than feeling they need to lie, to themselves and others, because it seems necessary for survival.

I made a little vision recently, and thought I'd share it below. Since people are doing these things (pictured) as we speak, it doesn't seem a fairy tale So much beauty and lightness of being awaits in a world of true abundance.

forest levitation and communing with nature spirits

Hey Wade,

I'd like to just like to piggy-back on your last comment about intentional communities and what I've learned about them. I briefly mentioned to you before about my experience but would like to go into more detail.

I more or less have been involved in some kind of an intentional community for about five years now at the tender age of 24. I just spent the last 1-2 years living as part of an organic farm/intentional community. Being raised in a large city, I knew my whole life just how unhealthy, unsustainable, and decrepit city-life is, and I always longed for a more peaceful, caring way of living alongside nature where neighbors actually interact with one another and help one another. I've read just about every Utopian-esque book there is out in print, and I know that Thomas Jefferson's vision of the U.S. being an agrarian-based economy with tons of small communities was superseded by the megalomaniac Alexander Hamilton's centralized government vision, which is what we see today.

So being full of youthful idealism and knowledge about the Global Controllers and organized suppression, I thought that I would encounter a whole new breed of people out in the boonies at the very heart of the nation. I lived on an organic farm that is also an intentional community that has been around for 40 years. The farm is situated way out in the middle of the woods, which is surrounded by corn and soybean fields owned by Amish and Menonites. Some of the neighbors a few miles away include two other intentional communities that are also active in "sustainability" and alternative ways of living. The three communities together made up the tri-communities, and it is built on loving one another, learning from one another, living sustainably, and partaking in activism.

Having met them before, I was invited to live on the farm, and I was eager to get situated living far away from the typical city-living mentality that pervades the world. The farm organically grows 80% of their own food, but they have no intention of being self-sufficient. For them it's about growing food but also being dependent on neighbors for other resources, like a big operating community. But because the farm is far from people, it is impossible to make enough money to live off the land wholly, so one of the members has a job (ironically) working for the federal government doing organic inspections (the community shares income).

He does enjoy going on inspections, because he loves visiting other farms, but he also feels bad on himself because he is still working for the federal government, and he must certify farms even when he knows deep in his heart that their practices are not moral or sustainable (they only are by federal standards). So as you mentioned, without FE, it is impossible to be totally self-sufficient and sustainable, and I quickly realized that.

The people living on the farm (eight of us total) lived like a family and had meetings every week to talk about our feelings and community agendas. We had weekly potlucks with the neighboring communities, enjoyed activities, and some of us even partook in activism, including joining the Ferguson riots, which wasn't too far away. The people on the farm are the most wonderful people I've ever come across, but they are just as clueless as people who live in cities. The only difference in temperance and character it seems was that the folks on the farm were slightly more aware of the destruction of Capitalism, and were consciously trying to reduce their own carbon footprints. We harvested wood on our own acreage and used a minimum of fossil fuels.

Working on a farm is a lot of work, but we tried to have a healthy balance of work and play, where we encouraged one another to pursue forms of art. But what I noticed was that no matter how far away you live away from a city, you can never fully escape the grip of Capitalism nor the ignorant mentality of people. On the farm, we tried to use as little technology as possible, and we tried to use what we could fix with our own hands. So in a way, we were at least a large step closer than most of humanity.

But I tried so hard to talk about conspiracies with my community mates, but they were just as oblivious as anyone else I've encountered in cities. I tried reaching them from every single angle by talking about the Global Controllers and organized suppression, but they thought I was a nut-case. So for the most part, I kept my views to myself. I tried bringing up FE many times too and how much easier farm life would be for all of humanity, but they could not fathom this reality.

Astonishingly, one of the members, a self-proclaimed Feminist, actually told me how much she believes in a superior God who is male. When I posed to her the possibility of God being gender-less, embodying both masculine and feminine energy, she said that she knows that he is a man. I have no issues with anybody's private interpretation of a god figure, but I found it extremely ironic that a Feminist would idolize a male God. And we wonder why we live in a male-dominated world!

While living on the community, I came across a government spy who lives near the local communities. I caught him lurking around and trying to convince people that Climate Change is entirely due to human causes, and I insisted that though I am aware of the devastation of carbon emissions, I disagree and think that the earth is going through a natural cycle. He kept on pressing other people in the tri-community area about what they are doing to get off-grid. The last clue for me was that he dressed up as the god Pan, who is purely a Satanic symbol, and came to our May-day party.

Being suspicious of his motives, I confronted him. After much private interrogating, I quickly found that he was a government spy who was tasked with spying on the tri-community area to spread disinformation about climate change and to report what kind of "prepping" activities were developing (solar panels, cistern, etc). He was a full-blown Satanist, and told me that the Global Controllers are recording every action people are taking to become more self-sufficient, and intentional communities are their biggest targets.

He told me that nobody would believe me even if I tried...and he was right. I informed my community members of this interaction and who this person actually was, but they all thought I was crazy. So after a while I simply left, mostly because I'm writing my book, but also to take a large reprieve from the ignorance of people.

So with all my experiences at such a young age, I have dealt with quite a lot. I was born and raised in a large city, lived for a while on an organic farm out in the boonies, worked for the federal government doing scientific research, and have had more than one interaction with the Global Controllers. This has given me a deep understanding about global dynamics from a cultural and ecological perspective.

Living on the farm was the most free I have ever felt in my entire life. Having 150 acres to walk around on in the middle of the country far away from any urban area, and growing most of my own food among slightly aware people was very enriching, but not without limitations. I learned that no matter how far one goes away from the Mainstream Culture, the inherent oblivious nature of humanity pervades every corner of the globe. And without FE, living on a farm is still unsustainable.

I'm thinking about starting my own intentional community soon, but I will not unless I can find people who are also aware of FE, the Global Controllers, and organzied suppression. It's going to be an effort to band together and try and get the word out to as many people as possible, while living a simple life on the outskirts of a small city.

Hi:

Today I wrote about Wade the Old Artisan, being an idea guy. Idea guys have their place, and as I wrote, there will be plenty of places for others, including graphic artists like Melinda.

I have been asked plenty about what I have done and how to make FE happen. What I see a lot of is trying to make my work easier to digest (such as that PowerPoint presentation). It is a lot of material (my site is around 2,000 pages of text). I have a very specific intention for what I am doing. Again, I have been involved in several mass movement efforts around FE, and it was only after mopping up the mess from the failures that I finally came to my approach. Sure, my approach plays to my proclivities (better than playing away from them ), but I am trying to fill a gap that I saw in all efforts, which was an informed and engaged public. The choir is intended to form a group that has a deep and comprehensive understanding, to form the "ballast" that a successful effort can form around. Without that solid and committed center, it all scatters to the four winds at the first sign of adversity. I am not anticipating trouble of the kind that I survived before, but that core needs to be built, first, and it needs a laser-like focus on what is important. If that focus is not there in a sufficient "core," the effort will easily succumb to not only organized suppression, but the betrayals of the allies, and so on.

Of course, being totally volunteer and giving away what we produce will not be very susceptible to the kinds of obstacles that other efforts have encountered, although it will be harder to get going. That is why I have budgeted the rest of my life's "spare" time to building the choir. However, those people will have the right stuff for what I intend to accomplish, which is the biggest event in the human journey. There will likely be concentric circles of awareness around that choir, and I can see the Servers, Sages, Kings, Priests, and the like to get involved. But I am only one guy, and have to build that core, first, or else the rest will not matter.

Yes indeed, Melinda, about the biggest change will be how humans interact. No more of seeing who gets the upper hand in human interactions. No more scorekeeping. Hardly anybody can even imagine that today, as fear and scarcity are so deeply baked. It is at least worth a few thousand people doing the work so that such a world becomes imaginable, and in a very practical way, not some fairy tale fantasy.

Best,

Wade

Hi Robin:

Thanks for your story. Interesting GC tale. In my experience with their ilk, you cannot believe anything that they say. Any "truth" that may seem to come from them has twists and BS in it designed to confuse and manipulate. There are many levels of that game, too, and I just see it as dark path stuff, whatever level it may be at. That said, yes indeed, they are keeping tabs on any efforts to become independent of the machine, but as you know, there is no cutting that cord today, not in the West, not without FE. I have likely been under continuous surveillance for nearly 30 years, but they generally just watch and listen.

On climate change, there is a great deal of disinformation, denial, and various agendas playing out. What cannot be denied is that burning the hydrocarbons that have powered the Industrial Revolution has raised the atmosphere's carbon dioxide content by 25% in my lifetime. In the history of Earth, there may be no more dramatic change in an atmospheric gas, and it is the only gas of significance besides water that absorbs radiation coming off Earth. We are definitely playing chicken with Earth, in that way and many others. When I hear of "Godzilla's agents" trying to convince people that we are altering Earth's climate, and many scientists sold their souls to the Hydrocarbon Lobby to deny the very same idea, I tend to go with what the available evidence shows. I would name that scientist that Brian was ticked at if he was dead, but he is still alive, codger that he is.

Ah, Satan and Pan. Pan was Michael Roads's mentor, and he wrote several books about their relationship. Pan was a Greek nature spirit, and did not get associated with the devil until the 19th century. Satanists are "just" a flavor of dark pather, IMO. Yes, when they unmask themselves, they know that you know who they are, but they also know that you will not be able to tell anybody what you saw, and have them believe you. That happened during my days with Dennis several times. Some fun.

Yes, there is really nowhere to run and hide from what is happening on Earth today. I respect the intentions behind intentional communities, but I have yet to hear of one that hit the notes, and that is because they all live in scarcity.

My direct ancestor (who carried my family name) came to Pennsylvania in the 1730s as part of the wave of religious idealists who came over for Penn's experiment. That leg of my ancestry was Quaker, and I have a soft spot for the Amish and associated groups, and encountered plenty of them when I lived in Ohio.

Yes, you are swimming upstream, big time, by bringing up FE, organized suppression, etc. Almost nobody on Earth can really handle any of it, and particularly putting it all into the proper perspective. The organized suppression and Godzilla only have much influence because the masses are asleep. If we wake up (and FE can do that), then they will slink away.

Best wishes on the intentional community. Let me know how it goes in finding people who "get" FE. I am hearing a lot about people starting them up these days. Anybody whose head is not completely buried in the sand knows how precarious global civilization is. Among people who should know, the two most auspicious places that I have heard of for establishing something like that are in Georgia (the country in former Soviet Union) and Chile. The assessment I saw had to do with climate, soils, government stability, risk of appropriation, and the like. I won’t be moving there anytime soon, but I understand the sentiment.

Scary times.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As readers know well, I do not have much respect for the American mainstream media. As I have written, it was only after years of watching us being smeared in the media that I discovered the media analysis of Uncle Noam, Uncle Ed, and company. I pretty much never read the American media to find out what is happening in the world. This morning, I happened upon this article, and it reminded me of various subjects that I have looked into, and I daisy chained to a bunch of articles on imperial wars, genocides, their apologists (Oliver Kamm, for instance), and their critics (Ed, Noam, and others) for an hour or so.

The reality inversion is so bad in the American and often Western media that quite often, if you take what the Western press reports and turn it on its head, it will often closely resemble the truth. Orwell would have been impressed. Violence is not a noble undertaking. There is no such thing as a violent humanitarian intervention (only in cowboy movies), but it is the preferred cover story for imperial interventions, whether it is Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. I suppose that "humanitarian" wars against Iran and Russia are coming soon. That will likely kick off World War III in earnest.

Of course, a choir that can help deliver FE can end the insanity. No more wars of scarcity and the transparently stupid rationales for them. In ways, it was far more honest in early civilization, when polities invaded each other because they could. Invasion, genocide, and forcing the survivors to fight to the death in the imperial arenas, such as what "good emperor" Trajan did to Dacia, was a far more honest exercise than invading and slaughtering millions to "free" them, to "fight terror," or the many other noble rationales trotted out today that should not fool a five-year-old, but the imperial masses merely nod and let the fireworks commence.

When the only statistically-valid and peer reviewed studies of the USA's devastation of Iraq were published, they were predictably attacked and ignored. That is how the imperial lapdogs are supposed to react, and it can make for lucrative media careers to sell one's soul that way.

Time for chores.

Best,

Wade

That was a neat summation.

I unplugged my TV years ago, and one of the things I miss the least is mainstream news coverage. Even reading the online equivalent can be a chore.

I found the Israel Shamir article you linked to a worthwhile read. Thank you.

http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015...israel-shamir/

I ran into someone today who started up a conversation about the recent Paris attack, and how he felt the coverage was being dragged out unnecessarily. Whilst at someone else's home last week I saw some of the Paris solidarity march as it played out on an oversized TV screen. I personally found the prevalent Je Suis Charlie placards and hashtags somewhat questionable. There are many things you could place on a placard to advocate peace. But aligning yourself with artists whose output could be deemed insensitive and aggressive is not necessarily the best way to calm nerves, at home or abroad, amidst people whose news will naturally be filtered through their own culture's media and / or governments. Images are powerful and immediate. They can do lasting damage in a matter of moments, especially with people who don't have the time or inclination to look deeper, and past whatever select quotes or footage they are fed by the mainstream press.

Another thing that struck me was seeing orthodox Jews holding placards that stated Muslims were their brothers, and Muslim families saying they did not align with the terrorists. I was moved by that. But I also wondered how much of it was motivated by fear, rather than a fearlessly loving wish to reassure. Fear of those who may resent either group during the heightened tension. One motivation is inspiring, the other is sombre by nature.

One of the things I look forward to in a free energy world is more and more people being able to travel and experience other cultures, forming meaningful and uplifting bonds with people of multiple races and backgrounds. I tend to agree that our mixing more will blend races increasingly, and that dissolving of cultural boundaries will be, in so many ways, a healthy development. If people choose faith from an informed place of love, it is often an aspect of sensing the unseen, a non-harmful way to engage the mysteriousness of the universe. But dogma and doctrines that divide us in a world of scarcity, are waiting (in this writer's opinion) to be healed by a world of deeper thought and opportunity.

I remember years ago, when the war in Afghanistan had been absent from the news for some time, suddenly there were headline stories about “our brave troops” abroad. Prime time segments, predictably tailored to move viewers and garner support for a 'war effort.' One subtext being, if you can't support a war, one that you possibly don't even understand, at least be moved to support the soldiers. Psychically, emotionally, give your energy/sympathy, and in doing so reinforce your idea of who the enemy is.

Today I came across a story about an American soldier who had wanted to return to the U.S. and blow the whistle on the flaws in the official story about why the troops were there. I don't recall his story being headlines. With laws of its own, and a vile internal humanitarian record, the military is the last place I would recommend a brave young man or woman seek work. True bravery can so easily go to waste at the command of those who've never seen the front lines.

Just my opinion. Though I know I'm not alone.

Hi Melinda:

As Chomsky said, if we do not believe in freedom of speech for those whose views we despise, we do not believe in freedom of speech. As I recall, he made that statement in response to the furor that arose when he defended the right of a French Holocaust Denier to his freedom of speech. The French are not really all that much into freedom of speech, and it is odd that Charlie Hebdo is some kind of free speech martyr. As juvenile as Charlie Hebdo's work could be, the current situation is not nearly as strange as Judith Miller's, that Bush Administration mouthpiece in the rush to invade Iraq on WMD "intelligence" that was little more than bathroom gossip, as she became some free speech heroine. Miller was actually an accomplice to premeditated genocide, and became a free speech martyr, so I guess that Charlie Hebdo's "fame" is more understandable, under today's Orwellian standards. Those who spoke truth to power and got martyred (multitudes of them) rarely get the Charlie Hebdo treatment. In the USA, the FBI and other law enforcement goons outright murdered Black Panthers and others, including dozens of members of the American Indian Movement. So, yes, I can think of far better examples for championing free speech (but in alignment with Noam and Ed's thesis, the Charlie Hebdo people were killed by official enemies, so they were worthy victims, even if they were offensively juvenile), but maybe not in France. Maybe some French progressives could help enlighten us on that issue.

As I have written plenty, I was quite the mystical student for many years. I rarely read channeled work anymore, but not only do I never get rid of any of that stuff (several hundred mystical and channeled books in my library at home, and stacks of channeled magazines that would reach 6 meters tall at least), my memory keeps so much of it within easy "reach" in my head, and a quick visit to my library usually finds what I am looking for fairly quickly (but not always! ). I have written that I have read in mystical works for many years that humanity would be one golden-skinned race, and Roads's little peek into that heavenly world also saw that humanity became a golden-skinned race. It was when I studied for my big essay that I realized that FE and antigravity would mean the end of geographical isolation for all peoples for all time, and race is a product of geographic isolation. In a world based on FE and related technologies, as there will no longer be isolated humans, there will be one race, one government, one language, and yes, one culture (including "religion," which will look nothing like any organized religion today), and that is also something that I read in channeled work long ago, and as I studied for my big essay, I realized that all such regional aspects of humanity will disappear, and nobody will be sorry to see them go.

At least 20 years ago, I read some channel state that all human "cultures" are just regional dysfunctional adaptations that got elevated into "culture." It was not until I studied for my essay that I began to realize the truth of that channel's statement, and I cannot recall if that channel said it, and it probably did not, but all cultures are dysfunctional adaptations to scarcity, to one degree or another. With abundance, they will all quickly disappear. Nobody is going to want to preserve "their way of life," when it will look as primitive as slavery does to us today. Even monkeys have cultures, which are local adaptations passed down to their descendants. They are always economic adaptations, which with monkeys mean food and safety.

History has clearly shown that so-called primitive peoples are eager for something better. No culture remains static. North American Indians quickly saw the advantages of metal and horses, and procured them whenever they could. Horses ended geographic isolation amongst the plains tribes (and made big time bison hunting feasible, which may have begun to thin them out before the whites exterminated them), and those tribes began losing their cultural differences, before whites eradicated them.

I do not see the "see other cultures" phenomenon lasting very long before all cultures will give way to one based on abundance, which will look very little like any culture on Earth today. I live in the most affluent area on Earth, and my neighborhood is a mini world's fair, and although some people keep their traditional dress (and nobody really notices them), most dress like I do. The end of different cultures will be another side-effect of FE, and nobody will miss them, just like nobody misses slavery (except maybe the ex-masters ).

About 50,000 years ago, all humans had the same culture, and we are all descended from those people, when all of humanity could fit in a large concert hall. We are all descended from a tiny group of people, and still have far more in common than we do differences. With FE and related technologies, that isolation will end, and the differences that we see today, which are all rooted in economics, will also end. Most people react to ideas like that with fear and denial, just like they react to the idea of FE with fear and denial. People are not going to be talked into making those changes, but they will be natural consequences of the experience of FE and its related technologies. One of my goals is to paint the various pictures of what the future will likely look like (none of us can imagine all of them), so that when FE makes its appearance, the way ahead will not seem so incomprehensible and scary to people who have never thought beyond scarcity and fear. That way, we have a better chance of making its implementation and enlightened one. That is one of the purposes that I see for the choir.

Best,

Hey Wade,

I think that one pre-choir topic that is well worth discussing is the idea that humanity is destined to be one government, one religion, one race, one culture, etc. (for now on I'll refer to this notion as the "one culture" notion for simplicity) with the instillation of FE technology within society. While I completely agree that it is inevitable and overall better for the people of this planet, I can foresee many people taking issues with this notion.

Specifically, many people are more or less programmed to think that "one culture" on this planet is what the Global Controllers want. The Georgia Guidestones are the key example of what most people associate with the "one culture" notion. Most people in the Truth movement, especially those on Avalon, associate the Georgia Guidestones' "one culture" commandments with being part of the New World Order, which is created and run by the Global Controllers who want to enslave humanity.

I have argued over and over again with many people that I believe the Georgia Guidestones to be full of (for the most part) beautiful aspirations for all of humanity, that don't necessarily have to do with eugenics, population-reduction, mind-control, etc. Regardless of who put up the monument and what their agenda is, the "commandments" are overall very healthy things for humanity to strive towards naturally.

Unfortunately, most people are so ingrained in the mentality that all notions of having "one culture" on this planet has to do with the New World Order. In fact, the New World Order, which has been overtly recognized and propagated by George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and other "elites," is fully aligned the "one culture" notion. I know about their schemes, and I know that the kind of "one culture" they advocate is one bent entirely on an Orwellian society where the masses of people live under a Totalitarian regime. I also know that the "one culture" that you advocate has nothing to do with this, and is ultimately what folks like Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon advocated.

But the notion of "one culture" has such an emotional charge to it that many people cannot fathom that it could lead to global prosperity. Many of the people that I have personally talked to have expressed such concern. Many of my female friends especially have a concern for humanity being "one culture," and they associate that with humanity having such a lack of diversity that we will never learn anything new. It is wired in the feminine brain to get more value out of traveling, understanding different cultures, and sympathizing for other peoples' beliefs than the masculine brain, which is why is foresee many women taking issues with your "one culture" notion.

Many women (and men to a much lesser extent) I've come across see the beauty in different languages, different religions, and overall different perspectives. While I understand their point of view, having different languages and religions have been a root cause of societal conflict for thousands of years. How can we even understand one another's point of views if we don't speak the same language?!

I'm with you on this one, but I foresee many people taking issues with it. I think that perspectives are important, but we must also recognize what it is that divides us. Again, most people cannot envision such deep possibilities, let alone visualize what they will eat for supper.

Hi:

As an addendum to the previous post, when I had my teenage dreams of changing the energy industry, I had no notion of FE, and was probably thinking mainly in terms of economy and ecology. But I decidedly had the inventor's perspective. Three years later, that voice first spoke to me, and for the next eight years, I developed the businessman's perspective on the subject, but it was still inventor-centric. Then the voice spoke to me again, and then class really began. When I met Dennis, neither of us had heard of FE before, and for all of Dennis's background, including his fanatical Christianity, he was just selling the world's best heating system using the most ingenious marketing plan that I ever heard of, even to this day. There was no whiff of ideology.

I saw that his "bait" for customers was a no-risk way to save on their energy bills. For his employees, it was a job and there was an opportunity to get some equity, and for his business allies, they could all get in on the ground floor of something big. Mr. Financier saw it, but many of Dennis's associates over the years idiotically thought that if they just slit Dennis's throat that the gravy train would be all theirs. Their greed-blinded stupidity and criminality was initially mind-boggling to witness, but I eventually realized that it was normal. I was just seeing humanity in action.

Throughout my first stint with Dennis, and for the years that we thought in terms of FE, we only suspected the truly Epochal nature of FE, but Dennis always appealed to the "save on your energy bills" and "business opportunity" aspects of FE (to later play the Patriot and Christianity cards). Even before they lowered the boom on us in 1988, I began to see that kind of schism. It began to dawn on me how truly big FE would be, but almost nobody really glimpsed it, and Dennis rarely talked that way. In a way, it was a kind of Level 7 approach, of sneaking past the egocentric defenses of his audience. What we were doing became a five-alarm fire for Godzilla, which we realized a few weeks before the raid. So, we were not really sneaking past anybody. When the sledgehammer came down, nearly everybody was overcome by fear or greed, and it turned into a bloodbath. Virtually nobody else was motivated by the vision that motivated me, and that was partly because we were not even promoting that vision, but keeping it small so that Dennis's audience could comprehend it. To one degree or another, every FE effort I have ever seen catered to those small perceptions, seemingly so that the Epochal nature of FE did not scare off their audience.

My effort is not playing those games. It is about having our eyes open. I am not looking to make it palatable to people's puny and scarcity-addicted conceptions, where they see no further than eliminating their energy bills or getting rich. For one thing, such an approach would be dishonest, luring people into something that would blow their minds when they began to understand the magnitude. It would kind of be like how the USA's military recruits it cannon fodder. I am not looking to pander to semi-sentient notions. That is what The Establishment does. I am doing something different, and laying aside all of those illusions is what I am about, and is another reason why I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks. FE is not about eliminating energy bills, making the USA "great" again, or getting richer than Bill Gates. It is about helping humanity avoid its demise by its own semi-sentient hand and ushering in an Epoch that is truly unimaginable to the masses today. Not many people are even brave enough to go there in their heads, but they are the people I seek. Again, the goal is delivering FE to the masses, not chatting them up about it. They will only begin to understand when they can experience it, just like with the other Epochal Events.

Best,

Wade

I can see the good aspects of cultures such as art, song, dance and esoteric practices linked to expanded awareness (rather than in-group distinction and local survival) being peacefully assimilated into a world culture over time, while the chaff is discarded.

Even though some of the Elites are planning for a One World government and culture, I differ from the libertarian types who are usually opposed to such, as I see it as necessary and inevitable. While I certainly don't want Banksters and Godzilla forcing a top-down order on everyone, it has actually been more to their benefit to have humanity split into divided nation states in competition with each other. The One World plans are more about avoiding total devastation while still retaining a measure of control.

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Robin:

I only have a few minutes before I have to finish making dinner, but briefly, yes, it could be a pre-choir topic, and the basics are this: the one-world government of the NWO, Godzilla, etc., will be based on scarcity, fear, and survival. It will be highly coercive.

The one-world race/government/culture (maybe even including religion)/race/language will be based on abundance, love, and people leaving the past behind like a child leaves diapers and training wheels behind. The only "coercive" part will be that we will not ask anybody's permission to give away history's most lucrative technology. It will be like us giving everybody a trillion dollars each. Some may refuse it, at least until they see everybody else living at a standard of living a few orders of magnitude higher than Bill Gates's. Nobody will coerce them to taking that trillion dollars, but they are not going to hold the rest of us back from living like trillionaires, and there will be some "coercion" from those peacekeeping grandmothers who will be empowered to take the toys away from the boys who cannot play nicely and give them a time out.

The "choir" is not going to be "selling" the vision of abundance to the masses, but to the allies who can help make FE happen.

So, the only coercion that I see is living like trillionaires and offering it freely to anybody who wants to also live that way. The only price of admission will be using those technologies harmlessly, but again, there would literally be no reason to use them to harm anything or anybody. All of humanity's harmful practices are scarcity-driven.

I am very open to seeing this subject batted around here. Thanks.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Enishi:

If humanity survives, there will likely be a one-world government, and the question as I see it is if it will be based on scarcity, fear, and coercion (NWO), or abundance, love, and freedom (FE). In the world I envision, the only "freedom" that will be removed or minimized will be the freedom to harm others, including the ecosystems. It really is a different paradigm, and only FE can make that shift happen. In every instance I have ever seen, the fear and denial reactions are rooted in the present paradigm of scarcity and fear, not one of abundance and love. It will be the rare person indeed who can even imagine that new paradigm in today's world, but those are the choir candidates whom I seek.

Again, I do not expect that the masses (or Godzilla) will begin to understand until they can see it. Both of them see the world ending as they know it. Those on Godzilla's team that are committed dark pathers would probably rather blow Earth up than relinquish their death grip. That could be an issue, but only love will solve it. I realize that our souls may want to keep the "kill-or-be-killed" game intact on Earth, as a great way to learn, but all I have to say to that is how stupid our souls are, if that is the case. I think that if we hit the love and sentience notes, then our souls will be ready for a higher learning experience. Maybe we can educate our souls.

When I see people decry one culture, one race, one language, I know that they are just projecting scarcity and fear onto the situation, and they often imagine that such an outcome will be the end of creativity, invention, diversity, and the like. Nothing could be further from the truth. Compared to what is coming, those notions of racial, linguistic, and ideological diversity will be seen as highly primitive, like cherishing different colors of toy blocks that infants can be enthralled by, when there are horizons that beckon that the infant has yet to glimpse, much less comprehend. Again, that future is truly hard to imagine. I have been at it for nearly 30 years, and I know that I have barely scratched the surface.

So, yes, the best of art, culture, and the like will be integrated into the new global culture, but it will only be a basic foundation for an entirely unprecedented and unimagined level of culture, creativity, and the like that will sit atop it, and it will be universally and freely available to all of humanity.

Best,

Wade
