    Hi Seeker:

    Sure. It is an easy concept and kind of mind-blowing. Those one-time events are thought to have happen once, as in it was an innovation that happened one time in one organism, and all organisms that have that feature are descended from that organism. Those asterisked events on this table, for instance, are thought to have happened only once. The other idea is convergent evolution, which is when different organisms come up with similar biological solutions, so can have similar traits, but they are not because of common descent but independent evolutionary lines.

    DNA testing is resolving many long-standing controversies of whether it was common ancestry or convergence. For instance, it is now universally acknowledged that today's humans are all descended from behaviorally modern humans that lived in Africa 60,000 years ago or so. They interbred with the other human groups as they became extinct, likely driven extinction by behaviorally modern humans, and violence was likely a prominent part of that process.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    This post is intended to present my orientation to the love and mystical issues, and how I think they are relevant to my task of helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey. I was raised to be a scientist almost from my cradle, and I will not belabor it, but what was more important for my journey was that I was a Boy Scout from the beginning, always trying to do the right thing. All of my fellow travelers that I respected had that in common. I have written about my youthful fascination with the strange, such as Frank Edwards's work, and I do not know if my mother's tabloid ways influenced it or not, but by age 16, I was putting it behind me and going deep on my math-science studies. I spent two months in Europe getting my cultural awakening, got my first dreams of changing the energy industry, and then I had my mystical awakening. That all happened in the same year, and I recall my efforts to somehow integrate all of that into my worldview. It is a continuing process, but I was well on my way by age 19 when I desperately asked for guidance and that voice in my head first spoke up. In those teenage years, my bedside companions were the Seth books, The Aquarian Gospel, and Richard Bach's books, especially Illusions. Nearly 40 years later, those works hold up immensely well with me. I really was not aware of any other "channels" but Jane Roberts in those days. It was not called "channeling" in the 1970s, but "mediumship." It was not until Shirley MacLaine and the New Age began in the 1980s that the term "channeling" was used, and I did not like it but learned to live with it.

    A friend took Silva after I did and we worked cases together. Performing psychically was not really a big deal. We performed many "feats" that I decided were just innate human abilities that were underdeveloped, especially in the West. There was no hocus pocus about it, but just exploring the abilities of consciousness. My family went "health nut" in 1970 to save my father's health, and I began a fasting regimen at 17, after reading Paul Bragg's work (whom I later exposed as a charlatan, but I still fast, and am on day seven or so of a fast as I write this), so that was another vector of my regimen and awareness. I went vegan when I was 20, just to see what it was like, and was one for 18 months. I have been a vegetarian since the 1980s (eating nothing with a brain) and may go vegan again one day.

    From age 17 to 21, I was studying math and science by day and mystical material by night. I did not get drunk until my 22nd birthday, and then had a 20-year battle with the bottle until I stopped drinking (after a decade of trying) when I was 42, just in time for my midlife crisis. If I had not stopped drinking, I wonder if I would be here today.

    After college graduation, even though I did all that I could to avoid it, I ended up in LA and proceeded to have the three unhappiest years of my life. I was thrust into an urban hell and can tell that my "friends" were guiding my steps, giving me a harsh taste of life on Earth after a pretty idyllic childhood in many ways. In those LA years, I became very engaged in the mystical community and am still close friends with LA's Silva instructor back then, who was the protégé of perhaps the most talented Silva instructor, Burt Goldman. In those days, Shirley MacLaine began making waves, and in a few years, the New Age phenomenon was full blown.

    In LA, I was going through the cognitive dissonance that resulted in several realizations, one of which was that my profession was worthless. I became deeply involved in LA's mystical community and performed psychic experiments. I became involved in deathbed situations and had many events that left me in no doubt that people have inherent psychic abilities. I studied Eastern mystical works such as Yogananda's, studied Seth's works and was saddened when Jane Roberts died in 1984, thinking that I would not see work like that again in my lifetime. Was I ever wrong. But I had no horizon of awareness in 1984 of much other "channeled" work besides Seth's. I was not into UFOs, crystals, channels, or many of the New Age topics, not in 1984. It was Silva, Seth, The Aquarian Gospel, Richard Bach, and the like.

    But I was also gradually dismayed by behaviors that I saw among my mystical brethren. The scene was mainly comprised of women, but men were usually the "leaders," and I watched some use their positions to have quite the sex life among women in the milieu. I still read the newspaper every day, and the Christian Science Monitor was my idea of alternative media. For all of my unhappiness during those years in LA, they were the calm before the storm. Eight years after that voice first spoke to me, and after four years of gradually increasing professional frustration, and feeling like I had been backed into a corner (with a number of larger-than-life events sprinkled through those days), I asked for guidance, for the second and so far last time in my life. The voice came through again. I once again followed its guidance, and the next week I was interviewing at Dennis's company, a thousand miles away. I would have to be an idiot to think that it was all coincidental.

    Then my odyssey began. Four years later, my life was shattered and I was radicalized. Twice I left Southern California, vowing to never return, and I ended up back there both times. It was more that bizarre. On the way to Boston, chasing my eventual partner, I met a Seth channel, and ten minutes after meeting Seth that way, he let me know in no uncertain terms that he was real and not some acting job. When I ended up back in Southern California again in 1987, part of me could not believe it. I began attending Seth sessions and did so for two years, ending in 1990 when I moved away from Southern California as an adult for the fourth time (if I count moving away to college) and I have not been back. In December 1988, when I began working in LA again, I began to build my personal library in earnest, and that is when I discovered a wide world of channeling material (Spirit Speaks magazine, Michael, Ra, and many others), and by the time I left LA at age 32, I was a grizzled veteran of the New Age scene, and what a mess it was. I met my wife in those years and she was quite a mystical student, too, and I saw it all in those days. When we moved to Ohio, I joined the local mystical community and new science organization, which is how I met Brian O. By the time I left Ohio in 1996, I had largely built my mystical library, which contains several hundred books, stacks of channeling magazines, and the like. I was also studying orthodox science, fringe science, became acquainted with UFOs and many fringe subjects, stumbled into the Velikovsky controversy, saw Hoagland present his information on the alleged artificial structures on the moon, corresponded with people such as Noam Chomsky, Ralph McGehee, etc. I studied the political right and left, the structuralists and conspiracists, alternative medicine, the history not taught in school, the "skeptics," and put up my first website in November 1996, just before going to work for Dennis again and nearly going to prison for my trouble. For the past quarter-century, the floor next to my bed has been stacked with an ever-changing assemblage of books. As I wrote this, I looked at the floor next to my bed and counted six works of fantasy, the current edition of Z Magazine, and six works of science, history, and economics.

    I found a place for my mystical studies in all of that and learned many important lessons, which I will save for the next post or so. But a little preview is that thinking that American Indians or Asian Indians have more mystical insight or nobility of purpose than Westerners is a New Age delusion. Any spiritual practice, diligently done and with proper motivation (that heart and integrity stuff, once again), can lead to enlightenment. Many different tools are out there. Some work better than others and can depend on the user, but there are many worthy teachings and practices. Heck, studying the Bible and praying can be just as powerful as meditating with some guru and doing daily yoga. The magic is not in the teachings or tools, but in the student who uses them. Our power is within (which every master for all time has stated), but more on that tomorrow.

    Best,

    Wade

    Wade,

    The Nazi holocaust was about way more than the Jews....

    This subject will come up again for me with some friends... and of course this is unpleasant...

    That in the beginning they only wished to expel the Jews and then it turned into something else...

    Of course they needed room ....for their people...and of course it just all made perfect sense..

    my dear friend believes that Germany was a victim of that great war...could be.... if the other gang members ganged up upon them and they would have stood no chance...

    and so the "winners dictate history" and so I look at Lance Armstrong....

    and what did he in the end dictate?

    and so cycling is a way of life for many and what Lemond went through and what he documented about the professional sport of cycling is absolutely true the way he tells his story....

    its on netflix wade...slaying the badger a must watch about the nature of human nature...

    in action...


    We need oil for our own people and so the lie continues....

    its all bull**** dearest wade...

    Hi:

    Yes indeed, Nine, the fate of the Jews was just part of the scenery of 50-100 million people who lost their lives. Yes, Germany, and later Japan, tried to come to the imperial table, but all that was left for them were crumbs. The UK and USA have inflicted far more devastation on Earth and her peoples than Germany did. Hitler's Germany was more intense, but the USA's and UK's tolls are far higher. But we are the good guys.

    Sure, if you want to win in a dirty sport, you play dirty.

    Here is part two of the series that begins here.

    I do not want to pick on the California New Age scene too much, as what I saw was also partly just about California and the hedonistic 1970-1980s. Today, in the USA at least, there are very strict laws about doctor-patient relationships, especially with therapists. In the 1970s and 1980s, being a male therapist in California was a great way to get laid. Those abuses helped lead to the laws that we have today. In the early 1990s, two of my high school teachers, and I was a close friend of one of them, slept with their students. One went to prison (he lived in my neighborhood) while the other had his career ruined (my biology and chemistry teacher, and I was his prodigy student and we kept in touch after school). The man who taught the class that I had my mystical awakening in seduced his "patients" after hypnotizing them. Paul Bragg was a charlatan extraordinaire, operating out of LA, and his "daughter" still runs the empire. My pals in the Southern California New Age scene, some in positions of responsibility and respect in the milieu, reveled in the drugs and sex (with their pupils) that the 1970s and 1980s afforded.

    One childhood friend lived a few houses away from that high school teacher who went to prison, and he participated in the orgy that his UCLA fraternity had with the student body of a fashion college. When I began my career in LA, the scandalous behaviors of my colleagues were stunning, and I did not even find out about the worst of it until years later. A married colleague with a pregnant wife slept with his subordinate (who was my boss), and she was unsuccessful in getting him to leave his pregnant wife (eight months along at the time, as I recall), and later stole the husband from her roommate, whom she was "helping" transition to LA (from San Luis Obispo, where we all went to college). As I look back at those behaviors, I guess that they were early warning signs of my life's greatest lesson, which I would soon learn during my days with Dennis in no uncertain terms. The scandalous behavior that I saw in the LA mystical community was just a sign of the times.

    But didn't the mystical crowd aspire to something higher? My experience was that while it was given lip service, in practice, not so much. By and large, it was just another angle to play, to get laid, make money, advance one's career, and the like. Maybe there was a little more integrity displayed by some, but it was not really all that remarkable. The standard New Age scenario was some "mystical" author, usually a man, who sold books or taught some "enlightenment" course and built harems from his groupie-student women. A big deal in those days was "Eastern" practices. My wife heard Krishnamurti speak, who lived near us, and he may have been the Real McCoy, but maybe not so much, but for every person in that milieu who may have been real, there were a hundred pretenders, although it may have been 1,000-to-1 in Southern California. Before my wife and I got married, her yoga teacher lived with us and she stole my tool box and "borrowed" money from my wife that she never repaid and apparently never intended to, as she felt that she was "owed it" from her pupils. I witnessed that kind of behavior so many times that it became expected, not a shock.

    Americans know well the phenomenon of drug addicts and criminals "finding Jesus" and trying to go straight, and they would inflict their new faith on those around them. In Southern California, those druggies and criminals would find some Eastern "master," and those around them would hear no end of the magical guru who can save the world (or our souls), and meditation is the solution to all the world's woes. I have had to put up with a great deal of that over the years.

    After Brian O had his mystical awakening, his mind went wide open, but he definitely became mired in issues that were harsh learning experiences at best, such as his support for the Face on Mars maybe being artificial, his "skepticism" about the moon landings, and he was a regular visitor to Sai Baba's ashram in India. Brian hated when people tried to portray him as one of Sai Baba's devotees. Brian went as a scientist, to witness Sai Baba's psychic feats. They may not have been feats at all, but clever magician's tricks, and near the end of his life, they were not even that well done. Sai Baba may well have been just one more mystical huckster. When Brian wrote about his first audience with Sai Baba, he said that Sai Baba seemed inordinately interested in what was beneath the cushions that he sat on just before "manifesting" objects for the people in attendance. Today, I hear no end of white Americans wanting to take "pilgrimages" to India, and they come back shell-shocked by the poverty, misery, and the circus around the "gurus," who by and large are the same kinds of hucksters that move to LA, make the Big Time, and become "gurus." I see it as no different from any other religion racket. Yes, there are genuine spiritual practices that can help people become more "enlightened," but Christian mystical practices can do that. The Silva course was largely Rosicrucian teachings in scientific dressing, and Kabbalahism and Sufism are the mystical branches of Judaism and Islam, and people can find enlightenment via those paths, too. The fundamentalist sects of any religion are the most distorted, the orthodox sects are largely the herd controlled by the priesthood, and can be seen as spirituality for younger souls who have less direct access to their internal divinity. However, thinking that some Eastern religion or practice has the magic answer is just one more delusion of putting the power outside of ourselves, as if an "exotic" teaching, teacher, or technique is the answer.

    About a decade ago, The Secret was making the New Age rounds, and my wife and I heard no end of it from people. We were badgered enough so that my wife finally bought the DVD and one night we sat down to watch it. After playing it for a few minutes, I put it on pause and looked at my wife and said, "This is what people are raving about?" It represented about the worst of the New Age, a kindergarten version of spirituality that was narcissistic ("you can be rich with a huge house and a babe like my wife") and literally had "special effects" of a rotating silver key and jangling scales filled with gold. It was reminiscent of a 3 AM infomercial on Channel 857, in which some middle-aged Asian dude who could barely speak English was encrusted with gold jewelry and draped with babes who told his viewers that if they just bought his course and used his techniques, riches and babes would be theirs. The Secret was its New Age equivalent. I was a decade removed from any mystical community involvement at the time (I will likely never join one again), but after viewing The Secret, I saw that nothing had changed.

    When I moved to Ohio and joined the mystical community there, it was not as tawdry as LA's, and the integrity quotient was probably a little higher, but it was just a little. One woman hosted monthly gatherings at her home and meant well, and I helped her organize the lending library at her home during the summer I was unemployed, just before I met Brian, and there seemed to be some hip people in that community, but she and a bunch of them soon joined A Course in Miracles cult in Wisconsin. On the way to visit Mr. Professor on his family farm in North Dakota in 1994, we stopped and visited my friend who hosted those gatherings, and I was shocked. I thought I had seen it all in LA, but that cult might have been the weirdest scene that I ever saw. We attended their Sunday service, went to the reception afterward, and encountered people who seemed hip in Ohio, whom we met at that woman's home. They called their "guru" "Master Teacher," he fleeced his followers of their money and had his harem, as usual. I have written about how we were driven from our homes by a hippie cult here in Seattle. Every time I see some charismatic "guru," I immediately think, "fraud." It is not lost on me that Dennis himself played the charismatic leader of a movement who wore his religion on his sleeve, but I was always with him in spite of that, not because of it. He did it because that was how he could draw a crowd, but I eventually realized that it was always the wrong crowd. When we put on our NEM conference, Brian was swarmed with groupies, although he was not about to partake of the fruits. What a sad spectacle it all was. Recently, I looked up that man who ran the new science organization in Dayton, and his marriage (he preyed on a young, impressionable babe) ended in ugliness and a child custody lawsuit, which did not surprise me.

    Here was my epitome experience of the "mystical" scene in LA. For many years now, there has been a traveling show called the Whole Life Expo. Brian and Dennis met at one of those in 1996, and in 1989 my wife and I attended one in downtown LA. I mailed in money to pre-buy tickets for the conference and a few talks by those people who worked those circuits (such as Brian and Dennis ). The Expo's instructions were to pick up our tickets at the registration table when we arrived, and I mailed it all in a month in advance. When we got there and registered to get in, they said that they had no record of us and I had to pay again at the registration table. I was out about $100, as I recall. They said that I should submit documentation and get my refund for the double payment. I am a CPA by profession and I run my financial ship at home as tightly as I do as a professional, and had records of everything, including the canceled check. I submitted all the documentation as instructed and awaited my refund. When it did not come in a month or so, I called them. They said that they had no record of me and that I would have to submit it again. I did. I waited another month, and when I did not hear back, I called again. I submitted the documentation at least three times, and when they could no longer deny record of me, they began to give me the runaround. I called once every couple of months, and they even told me once that they were a little stretched financially, as their recent show did not do so well. That charade went on for a full year, before I finally moved to Ohio. I have bought items mail order for most of my adult life, and that is the only time I was ever blatantly ripped off, by that "enlightened" New Age conference.

    I’ll tell one final anecdote about the New Age (which I have now heard pronounced to rhyme with "sewage" more than once, and I get it) milieu, and it happened at that same New Age expo that ripped me off. As I have written, half of my LA friends were in the entertainment business or were trying to break into it. If you are an actor, there is a standard series of photographs that you have to take. They are about 8 x 10 inches, and in black and white. It becomes part of your acting portfolio, used for when you look for work. The photos all look the same, as far as the actor goes. The actors all have this very alert and eager expression, as if they are about to laugh or are going to make you laugh. The impression the photos give is that the actor is a "can do" person who will enthusiastically embrace any role needed. I once auditioned for a TV game show (when one of my writer/actor friends badgered me enough), and I could tell what they were looking for: flamboyant contestants, and I was not cut from that cloth and did not want to put on a show for them (I could have, but it would have been phony).

    Those Whole Life Expos are like anything like that, with many booths of people hawking their wares, and after I finished seeing what interested me (it was not much), I sat outside the venue as I waited for my future wife to finish up and leave the venue. As I sat at the venue's entrance, a woman walked up to me and handed me a flyer. She looked just like a Beverly Hills housewife, about my age, dressed up in a kind of casual/glamor look. She was a babe, and the picture that she handed me was like one of those actor portfolio photos, but in color and a little more glamorous. Her picture took up almost the entire flyer, and at the bottom was her name and phone number, and a one-line mention of whatever New Age service she offered. She was not a channel, but offered some kind of "energy" work or whatnot. As people walked out of the Expo, she handed out flyers to them. I guess that she was too cheap to rent a booth in the Expo and engaged in a low-budget marketing campaign. To her credit, I suppose, she was not wearing revealing clothing, and did not look like she had plastic surgery. That would have taken it over the line into New Age parody, I suppose, but that scene, of that woman accosting people who left the Expo, handing out a glamorous photo of herself, will stay with me until I die, and kind of epitomized the LA New Age scene for me. I left LA the next year and have not returned. I don’t miss it.

    I could write for days on this subject, such as what I got out of est in 1979, but how I became alarmed at the cult that built up around Werner Erhard. My girlfriend, who had me take est (the actor Anthony Zerbe led the presentation that recruited me, consistent with the whole New Age/Hollywood connection), dumped me a couple of weeks later, the week after we moved away to college together, in the first instance of my chasing women here and there, to only be dumped by them (more of my "friends'" "guidance" I can tell, all these years later).

    My bottom line, more than 40 years after my mystical awakening, is that the power is within us all. The only "mystical" understanding worth knowing is that love is what is important, and everything else pales to insignificance. One of love's manifestations is personal integrity, and almost nobody on Earth really has much of that, which was my journey's primary lesson. Many can talk a good game, but few ever live it. The so-called "mystical" milieu has no more personal integrity than any other, and sometimes far less. It is a trap to think that there is some group, some teaching, some technique, which has the inside track to enlightenment. Sure, we can help each other, but each of us has to do the work, and it begins in the heart. If that is not there, the rest simply does not matter.

    When the sledgehammer came down on us in Ventura, one dealer who "helped" us had a mystical bent and Dennis told me something like, "Wade, he believes like you do," as if I could then trust him. That reflects one of Dennis's weaknesses, being the religious fanatic that he is, but he eventually learned. The only two people who passed the integrity test with Dennis, Mr. Professor and I, were not Christians. In the end, that mystical guy screwed Dennis just like everybody else. I did not say to Dennis, "If he says he is a mystic, I probably trust him less, not more, than if he wasn't," but that was probably my thinking in those days.

    That instructor who seduced his hypnosis patients got involved with us in Ventura (and that did not work out well), and other Silva types and highly talented mystics got involved with us, and I was amazed at how easily Godzilla's minions (1, 2) seduced and manipulated them. All of that psychic ability and achievement meant nothing when walking on the high road to FE. Integrity is all, and those talented mystics did not have enough of it to navigate the many pitfalls. You can imagine how "funny" it is to me when another FE aspirant announces that he is the Messiah.

    Time for chores.

    Hi All:

    I might as well state my views (always subject to revision! ) on the issue. Hey, we all see through the glass darkly here, and here is the impression that my 56 years have given me on this important issue, as of today.

    Again, my views are always leavened with my experiences. I have had way too many experiences that falsify the materialist models of consciousness, and since consciousness is a non-material phenomenon, how can materialistic models of a non-physical phenomenon ever be taken seriously?

    Scientists only know that two things fundamentally exist: energy and consciousness. I believe that the very purpose of physical reality is the evolution of consciousness, and everything in the universe, even Creation, is a manifestation of consciousness. That little of it seems to have a brain to call home means, to me, how little we know of consciousness.

    One of my favorite channeled sayings is that there are no dog, cat, or human souls, but souls that choose to express themselves as dogs, cats, and humans. The "souls" associated with Earth made a commitment to be here, and whatever life form that they manifest within is not all that important for the souls expressing through them. They will get the experience they seek and evolve their awareness. Rocks have consciousness, but not one that we can fathom very well at this time. But they are on their own divine journey.

    Becoming an ensouled species is a pretty big deal. Not many planets host life as we know it, and ensouled life is kind of an apex of the evolutionary game. All consciousness is evolving, and when an ensouled species appears on a planet, a new level of the game is reached. As Michael states, the game has risk, and a third of all ensouled species that can manipulate their environments destroy themselves before they finish their journeys on the physical plane, and those souls suffer a great setback that is usually remedied by finishing their incarnation process on another planet in another life form, which may be radically different from what they began their ensouled journey as.

    On Earth, reptiles were becoming encephalized when the Permian Extinction hit, and some dinosaurs were becoming encephalized when the Cretaceous Extinction hit, and mammals then rose to dominance. Whales became quite encephalized, from small-brained beginnings, and dolphins even have relatively larger brains than humans. I know people who consider dolphins their peers, and I had extraordinary encounters with them that demonstrated to me that they likely read my mind and like the idea of free energy. I have encountered plenty of mystical material, including channeled, which states that cetaceans are ensouled like humans are. I think that for the "souls" that committed to evolving on and with Earth, it probably did not matter much if reptiles, dinosaurs, the human line, or cetaceans reached the ensoulment threshold, that any of those biological vehicles would do. Of course, that can wreak havoc on humanity's egocentric conceits (in God's image, etc.), but the evolution of consciousness is what physical reality is all about, and although reaching the threshold of ensouled species (AKA "sentient," but that is kind of debatable ) is a big deal.

    Long ago (1970s), Michael said that our galaxy hosted one million ensouled species, and that we cannot even begin to fathom the diversity. Psychonauts I have known report realities with ensouled cacti and clouds. I have never visited those "places," but I am not about to scoff much. When Michael made that statement, scientists were not even sure if planets were regular features of star systems, and now that we know more, Michael's "million ensouled species" number sure seems plausible. The universe is a big place, and we have not even left our star system. We think that we really know much about what is going on out there?

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    Another post in another forum germane here:

    I would be interested to read what scientific findings Urantia predicted that have now been accepted. I have mentioned some of that kind of thing with Seth (on pleomorphism) and others (James calling a UFO and then channeling that Earth is hollow). My experience with stuff like that is that it is hit and miss, and I don’t know why ("channeling error" is what I seem to see most often as an explanation). Maybe somebody could put up a chart of hits and misses with Urantia, and what may still be in the future to be resolved. I think that it can be very interesting work to do.

    Here is my Twilight Zone moment of the day for you. I sat down to write a post on what I read last night. I have been writing of Michael so much lately that I retrieved part of my Michael stack from my library and began reading some. I was reading Michael for the Millennium, published in 1995.

    That was before much DNA sequencing was done, and some big puzzles of the human journey have been largely resolved, IMO, because of it. Right now, the best evidence is that behaviorally modern humans left Africa between 50 and 60 thousand years ago and conquered Earth. It coincided with what scientists have called "the Great Leap Forward," when humans achieved behavioral modernity. The predominant thinking is that the mastery of language was the key factor in achieving behavioral modernity, which allowed humans to conquer Earth.

    I probably have not picked up Michael for the Millennium since I read it back in the 1990s, but when I picked it up last night, this section (page 58) jumped out at me:


    "As we have said before, ensoulment of your species took place between fifty and sixty thousand years ago, and is marked by the development of abstract thought, which in turn led to language, esthetics, defined emotions and perceptions, 'flights of fancy', anticipation, worry, intimacy, including self-intimacy, identity, and then to what you on the physical plane call art. That is not to say that proto-humans did not have rudimentary verbal communications, but so do chimpanzees, and like all 'clever' animals, proto-humans could recognize a very wide array of discrete sounds. But abstract 'thought' widened all the potentials of the proto-human species. Without abstract thought, language, as compared to the 'vocabulary' of mutters, shrieks, chuckles, and cries of primates, is conceptually 'impossible', for by its very nature contains information not immediately apparent."


    That lines up pretty damn well with today's scientific thinking, and it really was not until DNA testing that the pattern of human migrations was firmly established. Also, for me, when I saw that pattern, it overlaid very nicely with the megafauna extinctions, which began in Australia, soon followed by the mammoth extinctions south of the Eurasian ice sheets (concurrent with the Neanderthal extinction), and then the Americas. Michael's statement lines up very nicely with the widely accepted state of the science, which was not established a quarter-century ago. Michael also made a distinction between "ensouled" and "intelligent," and I wonder what he would say to Brian's question on whether we were really a sentient species. Personally, I think that the potential for true sentience is there in all of us, but fear short-circuits it. I wonder what Michael would have to say about my idea that all of the dominant ideologies are founded on the assumption of scarcity. The paradigm shift from scarcity to abundance could get humanity operating at their positive poles (love) far more than the negative poles (fear). I wonder what Michael would have to say about Michael Roads's adventures into those negative and positive future Earths. Anyway, when I read stuff like that from Michael, which can eerily fit into the state-of-the-science, it is quite intriguing.

    On astrology, an amateur did my horoscope long ago, and it had many hits. I doubt that I kept it around, and not sure that I even received it. As I have stated, I throw the tarot, I have used pendulums, have been around incredible dowsers, and those original Michael books came through a Ouija Board. They are all valid ways of contacting inner guidance and abilities, contacting entities such as Seth, Michael, etc. If you study the Ra Material, they went through an involved ritual before every session, to get the channel "clear," and so that negative entities could not interfere. Yes, none of those practices are for dabblers. People can really get in trouble if their hearts are not in the right place and they are not grounded. I think that some of the ancient "superstitions" against such practices to some degree were rooted in seeing that stuff "go bad." In a world of scarcity and fear, such practices can be hazardous. It is kind of like my work. What I have written would have seen me burned at the stake only a few centuries ago, and today, about 99% of American cannot read but a few pages of my material (such as here) without blowing a fuse. I have written before that an American college professor (with tenure! ) has read that section to his class, and they staggered out of the classroom, making a beeline to the nearest bar. I have seen "hip" people lose their sanity after reading that section. My work is not for the masses.

    I completely understand that you got scared after dabbling in the "occult," and that was probably wise. My background and Old Soul-ness made it so that it was OK for me to dive in, but as I have been writing, boy, have I seen the casualties. That is also why very few are fit for the FE pursuit in today's world, as they fall into the many pitfalls that await. Looking for needles

    Best,

    Hi:

    Another post in another forum that is germane to this thread….


    I have written on it before. My journey has simply been unbelievable to most people, but Dennis's was far more preposterous than mine was. Brian O's being asked to go to Mars was an amusing footnote when considered in the context of our journeys.

    As I have stated, none of my FE fellow travelers began their journeys thinking in terms of FE, but the USA's first energy crisis was instrumental in all of our journeys. But as we began to pursue FE, the magnitude of it began to dawn on us. FE will be the biggest event in the human journey, by far. But it took me another generation to really begin to understand its epochal nature.

    FE is big stuff, to put it mildly, and egos are readily seduced by its immensity. I struggled with delusions of grandeur early in my journey with Dennis (and they were beaten down pretty quickly), and I have seen others go off the deep end, thinking that they were the Messiah, Second Coming, etc. Unlike those deluded would-be Messiahs, we gave Godzilla some interesting days at the office and he has not forgotten about me; I altered the outcome of his plans. Nobody else on Earth is doing what I am. On one hand, blazing this trail means a lot of pathfinding. My approach has been the result of trial and error, and those trials and errors could be life-wrecking and life-shortening. I have buried the bodies and mopped up the blood, sometimes literally. Why I survived my adventures and kept going is an interesting question. I know that part of it is because it has been my mission on Earth. The many ridiculous events, including a voice in my head at the most critical junctures (1, 2), long ago eliminated any idea that I was living in some delusional fantasy. Something has guided my steps, and I can tell that I was groomed from infancy to be what I became. My Boy Scout traits, genius-level IQ, training to be a scientist, being a member of history's most privileged demographic group (white, educated, American, male Baby Boomer), and so on were all indicators that I was being "set up" for my journey, and those monumental events when I was 16 kind of unleashed me on my journey. As I look back, and seeing how I survived and stayed on the path when almost nobody else did, I have to credit that background and my youth to survive the worst of it.

    I did not have too many psychic readings before I met Dennis, and none of the channeled kind, but by 1989 I was having readings done by psychics and channels, and the stories could be eerily similar. Few of them knew anything about me before the readings, but pretty much all of them came through with some kind of "special assignment" theme often around "saving the world," putting humanity back on the right track, etc. Also, I got some, "You helped plan and set up Earth school, helped melt down Atlantis (and did many lifetimes of penance for that one), and are here to help humanity get over the hump." I was told that I am an Old Artisan (which made one hell of a lot of sense, when I thought about it), and the overleaf readings were startlingly accurate, as well as making many predictions that came shockingly true, predictions that a "normal" person would have scoffed at, but I filed them away with a "wait and see" attitude, and I'll be damned if some of the more "unbelievable" predictions came to pass. One of them was that I had a soul contract to participate in a once-in-lifetime event that unexpectedly happened later that same day (an event that I did my best to avoid). It would take days to relate all such events, but suffice it to say that I have accepted that I am here on special assignment and have a job to do, which is helping manifest the biggest event in the human journey and simultaneously keep humanity and our ecosystems from going right down the toilet. The perils and temptations to the ego can be extreme on a journey like that, and Dennis, Brian, and I have been humbled many times on our journey, but we could not take our eyes off the goal, got up, dusted ourselves off, and went back at it. You had to see Dennis in action to believe it. He makes Indiana Jones look like Walter Mitty.

    I have designed what I am doing so that I can keep doing it for the rest of my life (or while I still have all my marbles ). When I talked about what I was attempting, Dennis and Brian both understood that I was doing something different, and the possibilities intrigued them. They were the only two people on Earth whose opinions I would have respected much regarding on my approach, and Brian was planning to promote it before he died. How can I give up? If I can have 0.000001% influence on making FE happen and all that can come with it, it will be the crowning moment of my soul's journey.

    Even the dimmest among us quickly grasps, at some level, that FE means the end of the world as we know it, so few really have a lukewarm reaction, but they deny, obsess, fear, and the rest. I have witnessed those reactions thousands of times. The paths to disaster on the FE path are many, and most of my warnings to FE newbies fall on deaf ears as they charge forward. Most never do anything productive so never lose their initial naïveté and leave the field the way they entered it, and if they are lucky, they did not get a wrecked life from the deal. But those who progress down that path more than a few steps will begin to encounter the realities that I write about, and the best of them will then deeply study my cautions instead of scoffing at them as they sally forth to their doom, similar to that killer rabbit scene in The Holy Grail. I really do not want to watch anymore.

    People's egos are readily knocked sideways by FE's immensity, and I often become the target of their delusions, and that is why I am very cautious about engaging the public in my old age. I know of no other Real McCoys in the FE field who have subjected themselves to what I have in engaging the public in forums, but I think that my strategy can work in the right environment, and is why I began my own forum and only interact with forums that pals like Scott and Bill run. But you can see the rocky beginning of my participation in this forum. In all-comers forums the trolls swarm me, and some are professionals.

    In my old age, I no longer get readings or play the psychic game all that much. It is a valid path, but not the be-all-end-all. I know what I am supposed to do (I think! ), and I just have to do it. I sacrificed my life to my path, but do not regret it in the slightest. And when you have your mind and heart set on the goal, you see the rigors of the journey as only events designed to condition you so that you can reach the goal, but maybe not by the path that you originally envisioned. Those lessons were hard ones and I did not always "pass the test," and have been seeking a way that I could uniquely contribute since the 1980s. I played the Indiana Jones's sidekick role, but decided to do something different, which is by no coincidence a little easier than being dragged behind a truck that held the ultimate talisman of power, and the truck was filled with Nazis.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Wade,
    Will start reading " that section" today.....And report back as soon as it is digested.
    It will be interesting to see how it affects an undereducated redneck from the midwest.

    I do find great value in your posts....
    Thank you.

    Hi Krist:

    Happy reading. There are some cool posts and great correspondents there.

    This is a public service announcement to people who aspire to be in the choir. I have long written about what qualities I am looking for. As people can see, I am not looking for geniuses or scientists. Laypeople who do the work are those whom I seek. They need to be astute, but I doubt that all that much mental horsepower is needed. Where a person's heart is is most important, by far, not where his/her head is. The heart leads and the head follows. I am not saying that digesting my work is easy, but most who are willing to do the work will be able to, to one degree or another. The deeper the digestion, the better.

    Readers of my forum see that it is still just Ilie and me, and Ilie has made a grand total of two posts. It is my show for now, but I do not expect that to last a whole lot longer. I am training choir members. For those who even have the courage to a be a real person on the Internet (rare in of itself, but a choir prerequisite), what I am seeing a lot of is people being intimidated by my material, particularly in its breadth and depth, and they are not sure that they have the chops to play ball with me on the global stage. So, I am playing coach these days. Again, Ilie has exactly what I am looking for, even though he is a youngster without a store of tales that grizzled veterans have. I do not need people to go through the meat grinder to become choir candidates. Not many survive that process with their sanity intact.

    The first thing that people in the choir are going to do is write about their journeys in arriving at my forum (even relatively short ones such as Ilie's ). All of my FE fellow travelers had journeys that were remarkably similar. We all started out naïve and idealistic and usually were scientists or scientists-in-training before we began to wake up the larger reality of what we were involved with. But my big awakening experiences did not come as a scientist, but as a businessman. Ralph McGehee is not a FE fellow traveler, but an immensely valuable fellow traveler who eventually saw past his nationalistic indoctrination, and his awakening was about as brutal as they come. Dennis's was similar. Brian O was a sherry-sipping professor at Princeton when he had his mystical awakening, but his cognitive dissonance began during his astronaut days. I have found that people of conscience, who are the only people that I seek, all had similar trajectories, of idealism turning to disillusionment. Sometimes it was relatively fast (I began asking those uncomfortable questions right out of college), and sometimes it took a long time. Ralph was 16 years into his CIA career before he finally figured it out. Some, like my CIA-contract-agent relative, never really woke up, but since they were not psychopaths, they usually engaged in dysfunctional coping behaviors to salve their troubled consciences, and my relative essentially drank himself to death, which is not an unusual fate in those realms.

    My choir is going to be a forum of writers, and the posts will look more like mine – long, thoughtful, dealing with issues in some depth – and will rarely be the terse repartee that people see in nearly all Internet forums. It will be something different, because it needs to be, if it is going to make a dent. A lot of the writing in my forum I expect to be essays (ten pages will likely be a typical length). That biographical essay may become the required first post for all members of the choir.

    Becoming a writer takes hard work. The key to good writing is not crafting neat sentences and beautiful prose, but having something worth saying. But that is only the beginning, and I have put in my 10,000 hours so that I feel at least minimally competent in writing. But it took hiring an editor and writing professionally (technical business documents) for a decade to get my writing to where it is today. It took me many years to learn to get out of my way and try to do justice to the subject matter and do my best to engage the subjects of my writing on their terms. But if the intent is to help bring those subjects to the readers, it will see the writer eventually get there. Intention and motivation is the key, not so much the innate talent. My threads at Avalon and elsewhere are partly for aspiring singers to hone their chops. I have approached, and been approached by, public writers with their own blogs and the like, and the stars rarely align. They either have no interest in what I am doing, or they do not have quite what I am looking for, and when I ask them to leave stuff at the door, which I think will not be the basis of constructive choir work, they go away. That is OK. I would rather head that off before we begin, and I have been writing on the kinds of stuff that needs to be left at the door. We cannot drag our baggage with us to get where we need to go, if we are going to make a dent. I cannot overemphasize that my big essay is the choir's hymnal. That is why I wrote it. It has to be the choir's center of gravity if it is going to go anywhere. And maybe it won't, but if it never gets off the ground, nobody is harmed and I merely "wasted" my life. But I think that it will eventually go somewhere important, and for now, I am just working on getting it airworthy. I resume my career next week, and it could well turn into ten years of hard work before I am put out to corporate pasture, so my work is going to be more on coaching and recruiting than writing, and others will need to step up if my effort is going to go anywhere important.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Ilie:

    I'll agree that not many can tell stories like Dennis's, Brian's, or Adam's, or even that of a spear carrier like me, but there are more than you might think. However, most will not tell it publicly, partly because of the universal denial and derision that ensues, just like almost nobody really wants to hear real war stories. No glory there. And it was not so much what we did that was important, but what we learned while we did it. And I have mentioned the trajectory that I have seen with those with something important to say, who began naively idealistic but eventually woke up to reality.

    This is not something new, either. I recognized the ardent sincerity of Waldo, and being hunted down by the "authorities" was a typical fate. People of conscience, no matter how few they may really be, have been with us for a long time. I wrote a couple of months ago on those DIs, and they really are my target audience. I do not expect the people I seek to be able to tell the wild and wooly stories that my fellow travelers had, but the simple trajectory of awakening, somehow, to the depth of the lies that gird the ideologies that we are force-fed from our cradles is the important one. Some went through the trajectory rapidly, while others took a lifetime, but when I gather the people who have such tales to tell, there will be recognition from the people I seek, and there will be a gathering, like iron filings to a magnet. Of course, my work is not all about disillusionment, but those illusions have to be shed before we can move forward to something that won't be illusory. Right now, it is a vision that only I and a relative handful of others have glimpsed, but I do not need very many to make the vision a reality, or go a long way toward its manifestation. My "crowd" may become be far more than has ever been amassed to go after FE before, but I am not looking for heroes ready to throw their lives away for the "cause." Lambs can wake up as well as warriors can. We will see how my non-heroic approach fares, but I am optimistic. But if I rush out and bring in any old person who wants in, whether he/she can hit a note or not, my effort is not going anywhere. I would rather have it go nowhere than became another flaming wreck that consumes lives.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Wade :
    It was very difficult for me to even post up here with you all.Hope I didn't disrupt the flow so to speak.

    I'm not a good writer,slow reader, minimal public education.Don't know that I have ever had an IQ test .
    I have read more of your work than any thing I read in school,to be honest the only reading in this life that matters to me has happened in the last 10 years.
    Must have been when I started to wake up.

    I did post with good intentions ,it doesn't always come across that way.I'm doing the best I can to keep up,very new at all this and nervous to even come to the plate .
    If I was a writer I do have a life story to tell .It would be about conditioning to be a work horse,take care of family and business ,be authentic.

    I'm here to be coached if you can put up with me .I really don't have all that much to say other than I'm here.May be should not have typed a word ,something compelled me to do so.Despite the ignorance of my own awareness.
    I have respect for you and your work,fascinated might be appropriate. I have heart,I can feel yours through your words.

    Read "that section"and was not all that surprised at this point the game.You are providing me with all the finer details I would not get other wise .There is no one in my physical world to even discuss the topics your work has enlightened me to so it does take me some time to digest I must admit .

    Thank you for your reply Wade.

    Hi Krist:

    Thanks for writing. You are one of the reasons I am here. You know how I feel about the heart. For work like mine, heart also forms a "ballast" so that you can navigate my material, which can be highly challenging from an emotional perspective. I have written about my redneck heritage plenty and I lived in Ohio for six years, and I am not surprised that there is nobody in your life that you can share my work with. It is that way even in the "hip" places on Earth, but my work was definitely not written for Midwesterners. Americans really are not my target audience, but they are welcome to read and interact with me, if they can leave their flags at the door.

    I can see when Avalonians are reading my thread (who have not blocked that visibility), and I have been seeing you lurk and post up thanks, and I when that happens, I find myself wondering who the reader is and what he/she is getting from it. So, it is nice to hear from somebody who has been lurking here a while. I plan to be here as long as I can, and you are welcome to interact with me. I think that you can tell that I am a man with a mission, so I keep trying to guide the interactions in directions that will help my goal manifest: the biggest event in the human journey. That is plenty to have on my plate, especially as I am resuming my career.

    You will see readers and correspondents on this thread be active for a while then leave, and some come back regularly. It is all good. I am trying to serve the function of a beacon, to a degree, and coming and going and coming is OK. I am largely planting seeds here.

    Hi all:

    I sat down to write a little post that will be somewhat repetitive, but what else is new? I plan to have the next revision of my essay published before the month is out. I have pals reading and giving me typo/style feedback, I have been adding a little material here and there, and this will likely be my last significant revision for years. There is little that will be new to readers of this thread. Some of the revisions are to improve my delivery and others are to slightly improve the content. The changes are usually so subtle that few readers will notice the difference. Last night, I was tweaking a paragraph that deals with Earth's atmosphere in the Hadean and Archaean eons. The thinking has been that Earth's early atmosphere was like Venus's: pressures a hundred times today's and nearly all carbon dioxide. The greatest rains of Earth's history were in the Hadean, and that rain would have been highly acidic with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But as the continents began forming and plate tectonics began, that carbon dioxide would have been quickly sequestered into the weathered rock. Recently acquired evidence suggests that in the mid-Archaean Earth's atmosphere was maybe half nitrogen (about the same total amount as today) and half carbon dioxide, so the air pressure would have only been about two times today's, not the hundred times that it may have been in the Hadean. Again, few readers will even notice the revision when I publish it, as the text reads very closely to that story already.

    Books that I have digested in recent months will also make it into the essay, but have already been writing about them on this thread, such as the rise and fall of Mississippian culture. The trajectory was a familiar one. Basically, agriculture and civilization have never really been sustainable. The early civilizations relied on agriculture and wood, and deforestation and soil depletion were endemic problems for all early civilizations, and was the primary reason why they all collapsed. Historians over the millennia came up with all sorts of explanations for the collapses and the subject of the decline and fall of Rome has been a cottage industry for centuries, but as scientists got involved, the pattern of running out of energy became clear. Epic droughts could do it, but they were only proximal causes. The ultimate cause was that civilizations have never been energetically sustainable. Or put another way, they always depleted their energy sources. Currently, industrial civilization is burning through its primary energy sources a million times as fast as they were created. That falls a little short of sustainable.

    Humanity has not lived in "harmony" with Earth's environment since our ancestors learned to control fire. I am currently reading more about early cities. Anthropologists study ancient cities and note their differences, but the basics of all of them were the same, with wood and food being the primary energy sources, they were situated on low-energy transportation lanes and had readily available water sources, they had elites who invoked divine sanction, abetted by the urban priesthood, etc. The similarities were more important than the differences. The basics were always the same, which may seem obvious, but it is easy to get lost in the weeds. Those similarities are important for understanding why they rose and fell and what it means for today's global civilization.

    What I really sat down this morning to write was some of the unique aspects of my big essay and why I think they are important (which is why I wrote it). There is nothing else on Earth like my big essay, and I doubt that is because it is some idiosyncratic mess that my deranged mind concocted. It is not all original with me, not by any means, and my sources and influences are all credited, but it is a highly original piece of work and I think that its most important aspects are listed below.
    • The role of energy in the journey of life on Earth;
    • The role of energy in the human journey;
    • The epochal nature of humanity's tapping new energy sources, which includes how the increased level of energy use from the new source changed humanity, from anatomical changes to lifestyle changes to being able to migrate and conquer the planet to the dramatic economic, social, and cognitive changes that resulted;
    • Each epochal event, which was initiated by tapping a new energy source, transformed the human journey so radically that nobody living before the change could imagine what lied ahead;
    • With some few Stone Age exceptions that never rose to the intensity that created civilization, humanity has never really had sustainable energy practices, and we are quickly depleting the fuels that have powered the industrial age; in this century, they will be mostly depleted;
    • Humanity's impact on Earth has been highly destructive; not only have many species been driven to extinction, it is accelerating, and we are in the early phases of a human-caused mass extinction that might take humanity with it;
    • Humanity is an allegedly sentient species and theoretically can see the trajectory we are on and change the course; however, that sentience is rarely in evidence, as humans play their egocentric games of survival, addiction, and turning vices into virtues;
    • I know that the new energy source that dwarfs all others was tapped long ago, probably before I was born, but the global elite have sequestered the technologies that can do so and suppress any independent efforts to develop them; they do it for reasons of earthly power;
    • I am a survivor of the organized suppression of those new technologies that can tap that new energy source, and am an expert on the approaches that have not worked who earned his "diploma" at the School of Hard Knocks ;
    • I am taking an approach never tried before, which I have been groping toward since my radicalizing days of pursuing those transformative technologies;
    • During my studies, I came to understand that all previous Epochal Events were initiated by a literal or relative handful of individuals; while the numbers I seek are far greater than initiated any previous Epochal Event, they are still a tiny fraction of humanity; but they will be sufficient;
    • As can be seen with the appearance of bonobos, the end of slavery, and other changes, the energy event and its resultant economic changes led to the social and cognitive changes; political systems competition and focusing on economic exchange are useless for initiating epochal change; nearly all "activism" on Earth today hacks at branches and does not even recognize that there is a root;
    • Finding and training those people is going to be the hard part; they are going to be less than 1-in-1,000 in the general population, but this new tool called the Internet will make it possible to connect with them; no communication technology like this has existed before, and I am trying to take advantage of it while I can;
    • The "cohesion" of my effort cannot be based around the in-group ideologies that all humans have traditionally oriented their sociality around; they are all scarcity-and-fear-based and the global elite are experts in manipulating people who operate from such self-serving motivations; the standard social approaches will not work for this task;
    • I am trying to orient my approach around integrity and sentience, which really has never been tried before, partly because both qualities are in very short supply amongst humanity today; to a degree, I am building on the work of Bucky Fuller and other comprehensive thinkers, but I came to their work late in my journey; my big essay is my attempt to reflect that kind of thinking and approach; as I look at my early work, I can see the germ of my current approach in it, but it was not until encountering Fuller's work that my paradigm shift was complete; I think that my approach holds some promise, as have the people that I respected the most in the field;
    • If the approach is not a loving one and fails to see all of humanity and even all life on Earth as its in-group, it will not work, not for this biggest event in the human journey, by far;
    • Humanity is at the brink of wiping out Earth's ecosystems and taking itself with it, and it is also at the brink of a transition that can make Earth appear heavenly; the choice is ours.

    That is my work and intent in a nutshell. Last night, I was reading Shepherd Hoodwin's The Journey of your Soul. It is the most engaging Michael work that I have encountered. Brian O and Einstein used the word "sentience" to describe humanity's brainpower, or lack of it, and the term has been batted around plenty, with "sapient" being one of the alternatives that readers have suggested. In the earliest Michael books, "ensouled" was the term used, but Hoodwin had a chapter devoted to sentience, and I was pleasantly surprised to see him use it like Brian, Einstein, and I do, and Hoodwin further confirmed the way that I use it, in that all humans have the potential for sentience. He also stated that older souls are more sentient than younger souls, and I'll buy that. I also have written plenty that I have seen fear short-circuit sentience, and that is a big theme in the Michael Material, although usually more implied than explicit.

    Time for chores.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi all:

    I am getting choir inquiries pretty frequently these days, as far as what I am looking for and what I am requiring. I have made many posts on these subjects, and I'll make a little summary here.

    I have long stated the qualities that I am looking for, because those will be the ones that are needed to be successful. Scientists are the most avid readers of my big essay these days, but I did not design it with them in mind. I designed it so that laypeople could comprehend it. It won't be easy, but learning the material in that essay is intended to help get readers to where they will become choir material. I have highly specific intentions in mind, and I am getting people who have claimed to have read the essay, but they did not demonstrate the least familiarity with the material, as far as integrating and understanding it. They could claim to have read it, but prefer their pet fringe stuff to the material in that essay.

    If somebody claims to have digested my work and:

    et cetera, they probably do not have what I am looking for. There is a mountain of chaff on the fringes. Again, I am not against somebody making a cogent case for any of the above "realities," but they had better go deep and do their homework. I have yet to see anybody who advocates those positions do that. None of that kind of fringe stuff holds up in the slightest that I have seen, if somebody does the work and knows what they are doing. If somebody stumbles into my threads and starts making those arguments, they need to go away until they can get their act together. The process of studying my work should expose the bogus nature of those fringe works as a side-effect of the learning process.

    My work is not about wasting time in those areas, and it is a hazard of the fringes. Almost the entire planet is in denial or fear regarding FE, but the fringe crowd embraces FE just like they embrace any New Age or conspiracist flavor of the day. Keen discernment is needed to navigate the fringes, and few exercise it, either because they are unwilling or incapable. I am far from Mr. Orthodox, either, and organized skepticism is largely fraudulent. I regard navigating all of those minefields to be just extensions of my journey's most important lesson: there are hardly any honest seekers, anywhere, and the few who may be often suffer from naïveté, incompetence, and other weaknesses, and cannot distinguish the wheat from the chaff. Naïveté can be cured. All of the people that I most respected in the FE field and all began their journeys naively, but they eventually chased experiences that disabused them of their naïve notions. Naïveté is no crime and not fatal for what I am doing, pre-choir, but the sooner it is overcome, the better. It can be fatal for members of the choir, however, if they allow themselves to be seduced by various parties, and Godzilla's minions are not the only ones.

    What I am getting a lot of is readers getting partway through my essay, and they want to get into Velikovsky, Cremo, etc., and the let me know that unless my work embraces those authors, then we may not have common ground. Were they ever right! I will usually dissuade them from going any further and send them on their merry way. They don't have what I am looking for. I am in the midst of revising my big essay, which will likely be my last significant revision for years. Today, I stumbled into material that I will update the essay for, and it is a recently published scientific paper, not some You Tube clip or today's New Age or conspiracist gossip.

    What I am getting almost none of is people wanting to discuss the material in my big essay. They want to discuss their pet fringe authors and their theories instead, and want me to defend why I don’t embrace them, or they want to turn me onto the latest viral YouTube video on some fringe stuff that they saw this morning. That is pretty much the opposite of what I am looking for, and is not far removed from the tabloid mentality, if it is really different at all.

    I think that I have made it pretty clear whom I seek and what I will ask of them, and those with other agendas need to pursue them someplace else. They can go with my blessings.

    Here is an example of what I am looking for and how I am helping. I have chorists in training today. Some are natural singers, such as Ilie, while others are not sure if they have a singing voice. I am helping them find it (coaching, encouraging, editing, etc.). They have usually read my work for years, usually (but not always!) have a scientific background, and are or have been professional scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals, such as working in high tech. I have recently written about what kind of writing they can begin with. We are always going to write most authentically about our experiences, and that is a great way to find one's voice. While my big essay is largely a work of science and history, readers of my site as of 2002 and the short essays that I wrote between 2003 and 2013 know that I rarely wrote far past the orbit of my experiences. In all essays on my site, I related the material to my life's journey. That helped keep the work grounded so that it did not fly off into realms of theory, speculation, and the fuzzy stuff. I do not do much of that, and when I do, it is clearly identified that way.

    I am sympathetic to readers who have demands on their time such that they cannot devote the time to digest my material and learn to sing with me. The demands of jobs, parenthood, and social lives can impact their ability to help out. But if they spend ten hours a week surfing the Internet or watching TV, the "not enough time" excuse does not hold up, as far as I am concerned. Digesting my work and learning to sing will not be easy, but I do not know of a worthier cause on Earth. I devoted my life to it, and for those whom I seek, they will recognize the importance of my work and won't come up for air for months. I have encountered them, but they are few and far between, and that is OK. I seek needles in haystacks, and am devoting the rest of my life's "spare" time to finding and training them.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Wade / people

    I realise I'm not bringing anything new or groundbreaking, but I felt like sharing. Please forgive the lengthy post.

    At the link you posted earlier Wade :

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

    you made reference to “humanity’s upcoming transition from Young to Mature Soul awareness...”

    This is a perspective I often come back to when I feel saddened by the world. The harsh circumstances we face and behaviours we witness (or even participate in, in moments of weakness) as we are learning on our journeys. I often find the perspective more than comforting in the context of looking at free energy, and when I find myself hesitating over visualising FE manifestation due to other people's fear of or lack of interest in it. Their withdrawal can seem 'instinctive,' and instinctive behaviours can have a potent/infectious vibration.

    I use the words 'more than comforting' because the feeling, or state of seeing that it elicits isn't simply one of sitting back in the easy chair with a sense of relief. It's more like being quietly inspired - of understanding that everything has its time and its role in larger cycles. Remembering that clears and renews my view of the present. There is nothing 'wrong' with a child that hasn't yet learned how to walk. That child doesn't need to be berated. But they will learn sooner how to stand if there are examples in front of them. Whether they are learning from watching (like people reading reasoned free energy debate) or picking up on psychic transmissions of how it feels when those around them walk beautifully.

    I feel grateful for the short articles I've read that discuss the Michael perspective on soul ages.

    Articles such as these :

    http://www.michaelteachings.com/soul_ages.html
    http://www.michaelteachings.com/old_soul.html

    That understanding, that there are different souls of varying ages on the physical plane, brings me back to non-judgement and acceptance. Or perhaps - more accurately - non-condemnation. I might judge that a person is behaving unwisely, but I don't have to condemn them for it. That may border on semantics. But I'm trying to clarify the difference. Judging their behaviour, or my own, helps me discern what is helpful, harmful or neutral. It relates to learning, transmuting, growing. Condemning on the other hand is more absolute, and risks solidity, stasis, stagnation. In the context of free energy debate that distinction is important. If it's free-energy devices or free-energy flowing through the individual. Our ability to see beyond fixed perspectives effects our creativity – whether in scientists locked in the 'old physics' or philosophers locked in philosophies that dismiss the greater potential of human nature.

    To call devices into our reality that access greater potential, it helps to remember it in ourselves. To use them wisely and productively from a spiritual standpoint, it helps to remain flexible - connected to and guided by a higher source.

    When I read Enishi's and Robert's posts on the previous page the other day, I was reminded of the power of forgiveness. I think it must be truly one of the most powerful feelings I've experienced, whilst also being amongst the most gentle. The most subtle. To forgive with the mind is always a good step. But in the amazing moments when I've truly felt forgiveness, it's been quiet and transcendent. Like a huge weight has been lifted by a motion with the lightest touch. A feeling as though there is nothing even to forgive. I've smiled to myself on the occasions it happens, thinking : if only I could summon that clarity of soul at will. I think if I could do that I might be on the path to cleansing accumulated karma. But in the meantime, just having felt it here and there is enough for me to know it's a way of being, rooted in a truth that makes sense - sense to my deepest self, in terms of what love can truly feel like.

    Like I no longer need anything from those I forgive, or can cease asking more of myself when it's myself I am forgiving. That relinquishing of need doesn't disconnect us, like the fear of loneliness that traps us in dysfunction. It frees us to cleanse our connections so we are free to give or to not give, depending on what creates the greatest harmony. Perhaps there's something there that relates to some people's need to run at free energy like it's a battle. When we let go of that need, we can paint for the world a vision of the highest harmony, that has the power to dissolve the obstacles we thought we needed to outsmart. Dissolve as in transform. An energy shape-shift. Anything can transform, and anything will, if we let it.

    Seeing the soul age perspective, and finding 'comfort' that we are on a path to evolve, can, if I nestle into it for solace in a way that's out of balance, take my eye off the present. Many voices have echoed the value of being 'in the now' rather than living in the past (which some relate to depression) or fixating on our future (a long-known cause of anxiety.) But I like to think of being in the present as a state that includes being able to integrate the lessons of our past, and draw down inspiration sourced from a heavenly future.

    Being in the now, in that sense, could be described as timelessness – which can walk hand in hand with manifestation. Gravity, in a poet's mind, could be the earth's way of holding you to her with love. But step out of earth's gravity and you are free to float up, down and any way you choose. Like a joyful mother, she will watch you, once you're ready, free your potential. And when we enter into timelessness we are free of gravity-like restraint. We can travel beyond the limits of time - heal our pasts, sending an uplifting frequency back to our ancient selves in reassurance, and call the wholeness of our future world forward to heal the present. We can walk with our future selves and manifest the love they are liberated enough to feel. A free energy of consciousness can take us back and forth with our souls, much as zero-point-powered fleets can sweep across the stars. The machines are only ever a reflection of the free energy that flows in and around us, as we free ourselves from our shackles. We are swimming in energy. And much like learning to swim in water, you let go and remember you will float. Remembering that you are made of water, and there is nothing to fear.

    The world can be so very beautiful. And we are, each one of us, the ones we have been waiting for.

    I write to remember it. To wish us all access to the love that can seem so elusive. It reminds me of the notion that God is love. And that even though at times you may not believe in God, god never stops believing in you.

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    Ah, Melinda is waxing poetic again. My understanding of forgiveness is that it comes from a place of acknowledging the co-creation of the event. And creators create with love, so that "release" is a little window where love comes in. While on the physical plane, that moment is a hard one to reach, for sure. One side feels wounded and the other side is usually in denial of what was done and justifies it somehow. A mutual recognition is ideal but that almost never happens, so when one side can forgive (themselves or the other), then it can open the door for healing.

    And while that moment of total conscious creator-level forgiveness is where magic can happen, there are also "lesser" forgivenesses that can still make miracles happen. The absolute lowest part of my journey was December 1988, and I had visions of killing people and liking it. It is the most soiled I ever felt. Would I have been "justified" to "clean up" Ventura of some corrupt public officials? If people knew the stakes and activities, I could have become some kind of folk hero vigilante, taking out evil-minded public officials on behalf of the light. Would I have been? Hell no. I would not go to quite as dark a place as where they are heading (helping to screw over your species and planet, that is something to put at the top of your soul's resume), but it would have been my life's greatest failure that I am sure I would have spent lifetimes atoning for, even though our goal was as beautiful as I know of. As Seth said, the means become the ends.

    After a nightmare month (going bankrupt was the least of it), when I saw myself murdering people, I decided that I would put that aside and do whatever I could to get Dennis out of jail. From that moment on, I never harbored any malice toward those gangsters. All those dark thoughts were gone. I realized that to them, it was just business: screwing over "innocent" people was how they got their jollies, and in our case, it paid well, too. Mr. Deputy retired to a hero's farewell a few years ago, and his annual pension is about $250,000 per year. Bill the BPA Hit Man sold his scam company for millions of dollars (one way that hit men are rewarded) to become a medical racket hit man, and he lives well today. He was responsible for a woman's death as he helped take out our Seattle company. Mr. Texas probably ruined my life more than those two did, but he sits in prison today. But I let it all go back in 1988, and I wish none of them ill, and I actually think that Mr. Texas may well be better off than those other two hit men, after spending more than a decade in prison. I know that if I had wanted to "get even" with them in any way, they would have "won," but we would have really both lost even more, descending into hell together, grappling.

    When I put all those dark thoughts aside and decided to sacrifice my life to give Dennis a snowballs' chance, it incredibly worked, in the biggest miracle I ever saw. We all knew that it was divine intervention. As I look back, I think that part of what influenced me was watching Dennis in action. People would screw him over right and left, and he could have exacted great retribution from people, but he chose to just keep going forward toward his goal. I eventually understood that Dennis had forgiven them and had moved on, and I eventually realized that in doing that, he escaped the soul-traps that those people had laid for him. He slipped right out and kept going. In some sense, he really was not hurt, and it helped heal the situation, even as he never looked back. His "rationale" was that he would just let God deal with it. He really did not take it personally. Some of the greatest lessons of my journey were learned while watching him in action that way. I was not consciously thinking about his "style" when I sacrificed my life, but as I looked back, I could see that if I had been wrapped up in the awesome "injustice" of it all, I would have simply fallen right into darkness and joined those people in their self-created hells. Simply moving on and not looking back I think will help them escape, even if it is not some great act of forgiveness that sees through all illusions and realizes that we are all just playing a game.

    The Michael material is one of the best bodies of channeled work out there, up there with Seth and Ra, IMO. I still plan to have a chat with God when I pass over, and ask whether he/she might think of coming up with something a little less harrowing than physical reality to grow consciousness. There has to be a better way than this, and maybe that is what we are trying to do here: redeem the game, raise the vibe, etc.

    But they all state that experiencing separation and fear are why we are here. WTF? I still want to understand what the hell God was thinking. But I think that whatever the story is of why we are here, giving and receiving love is obviously the highest state that we can achieve here, so we might as well strive for it, even if only for its own sake.

    Time for bed.

    Best,

    Wade

    Wade,

    I am so glad that your choir duties are so productive....

    And so maybe I will talk to you as a former musician.

    You played the trumpet and so one might understand...

    Lew Soloff joked about playing in a symphony and he was recruited to play in one ..

    and he joked about sitting behind a conductor and waiting for his frown ...since that is when its my turn to blow...

    not a gig he was interested in and so as a free spirit I suppose they end up where all free spirits end up...

    and so the game is rigged...

    However,

    On to something important.

    My pal is into the holocaust revision thing and so I am very opposed to the notion but however, since many say...I mean on the internet...that it did not happen or that there were only 200000 or so killed and what not...

    Many quote the red cross...

    It sounds to me that they have their problems and maybe a look down that rabbit hole Wade...

    Not that I want to go any deeper than just a superficial look but enough to get the truth of the matter...

    And here before I post anything else is where I just want to thank you for your work.

    I have already avoided several rabbit holes and simply moved on to where the truth might lie...I mean lay...

    And back to dear adolf and his dear Nazi and other assorted fascists....

    we have one here in Wisconsin and he might become president...

    the christian zionists co-habitate with him but look what happened to the Jews in Germany when they ran out of energy...

    Ah...that is the fate of the evangelicals but all is not lost since they shall awake fast...in amerika...

    hopefully....

    yet there is a huge turn in opinion upon Israel and the end times among many in the evangelical community...it can not be stopped but only managed...

    and you told me your dearest friend Dennis had the most integrity of any one that you ever knew?

    do not rule them out prematurely...





    it seems that it was not intended for the Jews to be eliminated since they collaborated for protection and so in the end when the allies/Russians approached the supply lines collapsed and many many perished....

    The greater tragedy is that at the low end I believe 45 millions were killed in WW2 and upwards of 100 millions were killed depending upon whom one listens to...

    It is all focking genocide...

    Whoh!!...well another drink after thinking about all that stuff...

    thanx Wade your work is brilliant...

    Default Re: WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

    Hi Nine:

    Both world wars largely ended when Germany's access to oil was cut off.

    I wrote about it: the Red Cross had a hand in the Holocaust. My father was in the Marines in Korea, and the soldiers hated the Red Cross. They were kind of an extortion outfit. My father told me a Red Cross story when I was young. The soldiers got paid every month or so, and they got their pay in line. Of course, stories of those soldiers blowing their monthly pay in a wild weekend are true, but not all of them did it. Some sent it home to their families, saved it, etc. But in Korea, the soldiers had a line that they stood in, and it was kind of like some gauntlet they had to run to get paid. So, there they were in line, and the person after the person who handed out the pay was the Red Cross representative. The soldier had to "donate" some portion of his paycheck to the Red Cross. It was not voluntary. One day, one of the soldiers balked at "donating" to the Red Cross, saying that he was under no obligation to "donate" to them. His refusal began an altercation and he ended up in Leavenworth prison when it was over. The other soldiers "took note."

    I do not want to pick on the Red Cross, Nine, as all such organizations are corrupt, quite often do the opposite of their stated mission, and so forth. Jews were captured within shouting distance of the Vatican and hauled off to the death camps. I watched Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International flog for that kangaroo court war crimes tribunal that Milosevic was condemned in. I had some exchanges with Uncle Ed when that happened, and he agreed how scandalous it was.

    When I was in corporate America, beginning my career in LA, the equivalent of the Red Cross was the United Way, and the employees were coerced to "give" part of their paychecks to the United Way. When United Way's CEO was convicted of fraud and frittering away the "donations" several years later, I was not surprised.

    Again, all FE newbies naturally think that environmentalist organizations would be natural allies, and we all got our turn to be shocked when they treated FE like the enemy. Again, there is not an organization on Earth with the right stuff to make FE happen, so I am trying to roll my own.

    All fundamentalist sects, including evangelicals, are primarily comprised of what Michael calls Baby Souls, and they all have literal fairy tales as the foundations of their faith. People who believe in fairy tales (and that includes the fairy tales of American nationalism, too) are going to be easily sold the stories of Hitler being a good guy, that the Holocaust did not happen or was exaggerated by an order of magnitude, etc. When they "go fringe," they gravitate toward the tabloid stuff, and they are obsessed with Godzilla, as he is the ultimate "bad guy," etc. They think like victims, not creators, and fear dominates their awareness, not love.

    That Dennis is a literalist Christian and has walked his path is because of who he is, not because of Christianity. I have said before that Dennis would have been great, no matter what his religion was. If he had been born in Iran, he would be the Indiana Jones of Islam.

    Dennis's organizations were filled with evangelicals and "Patriots." That was actually a reason why I am no longer with Dennis. Religion and nationalism are two of the population management ideologies that Godzilla uses to keep the herd in line, and capitalism is the third, at least in the USA. Dennis appealed to all three. You aren't going outmaneuver the master shepherd with his own tools.

    I am advocating the enlightenment path to FE, and allegiance to scarcity-based ideologies short-circuits the sentience process. Dennis and Brian never quite got all the red, white, and blue flavored Kool-Aid out of their mouths. I am the only American FE activist that I know of who did. I am also the only FE activist that I know of who went to business school, and I saw through capitalism, too. I was fortunate to not be raised with heavy religious indoctrination.

    Best,

    Wade
