NEMESIS

The total surface area of the Earth is about 197 million square miles.  Water covers 70.8% of this and the land area is 29.2%.  Of this 29.2% land base, only approximately 11% is classified arable, half of the land mass is either desert (14%), mountains (27%), or other less suitable terrain.  Now, it is estimated that only one-eighth of the surface is suitable for us to live on.  

Of these various life forms, we humans stand out as the Vicegerents of creation.  How can this Human Being, so universally endowed with access to Universal Intelligence, so arrogantly abuse it, especially when it is Universal Intelligence that is responsible for all of creation?  What is the consequence of such blatant abuse?

Well, that’s easy.  The overriding consequence is self-destruction (suicide), along with the destruction of other forms of life; edaphocide, a term I coined for the destruction and murder of Living Soil and the edaphone, i.e., the sum of all soil organisms, and genocide, the general destruction of the gene pool living in the ecosystem at-large..

Groups of humans have conquered and claimed, by force, murder, and tricknology, almost every inch of earth’s land mass and they have subjugated and relegated its inhabitants to their absolute command, usurping their sovereignty by falsely educating them, thereby making them weak and self-destructive.

What follows, I have taken from the pages of a book entitled The Nemesis of Nations, by William Romaine Paterson.   This summary of our condition could not be any clearer.

“The record of the great social experiments of the past is chiefly a record of injustice and suffering.  It is also a record of the disappearance of the political systems in which those experiments were made.  Perhaps, therefore, we shall be able to detect some relation between the causes of their exhaustion and their fall and the defects in their ideas of justice and, further, be able to ask to what extent those causes of ruin are still active within our communities.  History is full of the presence of a Nemesis, whether in the form of a prolonged decay or a violent collapse.  Entire civilizations have perished in the attempt to create a social order which appears to have contained only the elements of its own disorder and dissolution.

The Laws of history have not ceased to operate.  Those laws find expression in long processes of collective growth and collective exhaustion.  History, as well as Nature, displays a mysterious economy, and whole races may lie fallow during centuries in order suddenly to burst into vigor.  On the other hand, the process of organic decay appears to be as irresistible in those great organisms called governments, as in the most minute forms of life.  Secret causes working like sappers and miners underneath a State often begin to show the real extent of their devastation only in the moment of crisis and attack.

The genius of our Human Race has almost been obliterated and we have been broken into fragments and have suffered so great displacement that we are frequently unable to trace the routes over which we were driven.  It is at this point that we begin to discover how closely the internal happiness of a community depends on its outward relations, and how the fortunes of the individual are bound up with the fortunes of the aggregate.  The tragedy of community life consists in the fact that although the world’s harvest could be abundant enough to satisfy the needs of humanity, it’s reaping is regulated by the law of battle.  Hence, the pressure within each community is aggravated by the combined pressure of all communities against each other.  The moral of our Race is therefore still only an idea and not a reality.  

The dissolution of communities has frequently been the Nemesis which awaited their refusal to cooperate.  We cannot be sovereign unless we are able to generate, accumulate, and control our own resource base in order to meet the demands of our spiritual-socio-economic-political development process.  Resource accessibility is still one of the major constraints of authentic bio-based economic development.  In order to bring about authentic development without undue dependence on aliens (plutocrats), earth’s population at-large must participate.

These facts lead to the obvious conclusion that unless there is a condensation of indigenous intellect, that is, an indigenous consortium, our state of existence will forever be synonymous with exploitation!”

THE MISCARRIAGE OF EDUCATION

Why do we think and behave the way we do, ultimately, against our own best interest?  It is because of the way we were and are being programmed through our system of education.

I should not use the word education, because, the word educate comes from the Latin e ducare, which means to lead out – out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of being!  However, the opposite has occurred, because, our ‘modern’ education system was designed to keep us in the dark regarding the truth about our unlimited cognitive capability and the true nature of our innate sovereignty.

Our system of education, and that of most of the so-called civilized world, is based on the Prussian Model (Factory Model of education), designed to indoctrinate children, year by year, from age 6 to 16 into full compliance with the State and its military leaders, to ensure that they would obey those in authority and never disobey orders.  For further info, look up the Prussian Model of Education.

To put this in real-time perspective, in the U.S., students will spend 13 years in public education, averaging 180 days (school year) and about 6 ½ hours per day.  Do the math and you get an astronomical 15,210 hours of school for every child in the U.S., excluding time spent on homework and assignments.

As a result, the child-student no longer had the ability to be creative and pursue instincts and curiously explore and play freely.  The child-student was and is subjected to a method of cultivating information in their mind through repetition and memorization (mass brainwashing).

15,210 hours of dedicated programming creates a standard mind-set preadapted to be conscripted into a multifaceted labor market, which rewards you with just enough money to survive (i.e., a JOB, Just Over Broke), in which you never realize your slavery position and never produce more than a grumble against your condition for fear of retribution.  Somehow this condition is tolerated because of the 13-year programmed educational standardized mindset that the masses are mandated and enforced by law to become victims of a system designed to create a servitude mentality to become a labor pool for all sectors of an economy, where they produce the fruit, but, are denied the real nutrition.

A Miscarriage of Education is an appropriate title for this blog, because, miscarriage means to abort before full term is reached and our minds have been poisoned with false perceptions before we could think for ourselves. 

The Transcendental Science of Perception

You cannot use common knowledge and subjective ideas to investigate natural phenomenon, as they are outside experiences of ordinary life.

“Wisdom is not assimilated with the eyes, but with the atoms.  When your conviction of a truth is not merely in your brain but in your being, you may diffidently vouch for its meaning” (Sri Yukteswarji).

We must awaken from the mind, for the mind is blind and most of what we know is filtered through our memory and past experiences in thought, both good and bad.

I would like to share some wisdom from the pages of Raja Yoga.

The intent is to provide some clarity to the mechanics of perception and further insight to our Being.

I have eyes.  The eyes do not really see.  Take away the nerve center, which is in the brain, the eyes will still be there, with the retinae complete, as also the pictures of objects on them, and yet the eyes will not see.  So, the eyes are only a secondary instrument, not the organ of vision.  The organ of vision is in the nerve center in the brain.  Infinite worlds are created in an area (mental screen) just a few centimeters in size in the back of the brain.  What we see is nothing more than light waves (photons with varying wavelengths) and electrical signals.  The two eyes are not sufficient.  Sometimes you can be asleep with your eyes open.  The light is there and the picture is there, but, a third thing is necessary: the mind must be joined to the organ.  There is a depth to everything there; the stars seem very far away, while a pencil we hold in our hands seems very close, however, everything is on the same plane in our brains and at the same distance.  The Sun seems to be millions of miles away.  However, it is actually right next to us in our brains.  The reason why the sun exists in our brains is simply and solely electrical signals that we cannot hold in our hands nor even really know exists.  Incidentally, other ‘beings’ whom we may or may not “see,” themselves may “see” and interpret the same electrical signals that we “see” and interpret. 

First there is the instrument, second, the organ, and third, the mind’s attachment to these two.  The mind takes the impression farther in and presents it to the determinative faculty, which reacts.  Along with this reaction flashes the idea of ego.  Then, this mixture of action and reaction is presented to the real Soul, which perceives an object in this mixture.  

Our world is limited to what we are shown on the screen in our brains.  Dreams occur on this same screen with no corresponding matter, only electrical signals.

An ancient Chinese sage once said that he had dreamed that he was a butterfly.  His dream was so real that he could feel the warmth of the sun on his wings, feel the gentle breeze as he flew in and out of the shade of trees, and sense the delicate fragrances, through his antennae, of the various nectars from the diverse garden flowers.  His dream was so real, that when he woke up, he did not know if he was a man dreaming that he was a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming he was a man.  All electrical signals!

The organs, the mind, the determinative faculty, and the egoity – all these together form the group called the internal instrument.  They are but various processes in the mind-stuff, waves of thought manifesting like whirlpools of energy.

What is thought?  Thought is a force, as is gravitation or repulsion.  From the infinite storehouse of force in Nature, the instrument called mind-stuff takes hold of some, absorbs it, and sends it out as thought.  Force is supplied through FOOD, and out of that food, the body obtains the power of motion, and so forth.  Others, the finer forces (vibrations), it sends out as what we call thought.  So, we see that the mind is not intelligent; yet it appears to be intelligent, because the intelligent Soul is behind it.  The Soul is the only sentient Being; the mind is merely the instrument through which it perceives the external world.  Take these words; as words, they do not exist outside; what is outside is unknown and unknowable.  The unknowable furnishes the suggestion that gives a blow to the mind, and the mind gives out the reaction in the form of words, just as when a stone is thrown into the water, the water is thrown against it in the form of waves.  The real Universe is the occasion of the reaction of the mind.  A word form or an elephant form or a human form is not outside; all that we know is our mental reaction to the outer suggestion.  Matter is the permanent possibility of sensations.  It is only the suggestion that is outside.

Take an oyster for example.  You know how pearls are made.  A parasite gets into the shell and causes and irritation, and the oyster throws an enamelling round it and this makes the pearl.  The universe of experience is our own enamel, so to say, and the real Universe is the parasite serving as nucleus.  The ordinary man (mind) will never understand it, because when he tries to do so, he throws out an enamel and sees only his own enamel.     

So, we must live our participation in life from a different place.  There are modes of expression other than words, for language, as we know it, is peculiar to humans and is tricky – is an engineer one who minds the train or trains the mind?

Therefore, we must act by the principles of what we are by Nature.  We are not what we are practicing now and we were never that.  In us is the original germ of creation.  The first atom that burst forth to give sound is still active.  Sound is the original creational tone.  Everything is made up of energy at various frequencies.  All things in Nature vibrate to sound.  Sound frequencies affect everything about us.  Our body is not solid.  Rather, it is energy that is held together by sound.  Weakness did not bring us into the world.

Materials from the earth give us a body for breath to enter.  The atoms of Life in the air are the things that give us Life.  It is the same breath of Life that carries the Earth.  When it entered the body, it made a sound and from that sound (vibration) we could, walk and we could guide ourselves.  Our real Soul is our Breath.

It is the Silence between the breaths that the blind mind exists, where silent thoughts reside, a place where silent intuitive communion between our Soul and the Universal Intelligence can become One again, a portable Paradise.

THE NATURE OF CONNECTIVITY IS TO CREATE

The concept of connectivity could be better explained if we consider that the appearance of the first Atom, by whatever means, was created by a Power that is beyond our current comprehension.  Further, consider the self-replication of that Atom, such that, now, there are two.  This would be the beginning of connectivity, which gives rise to self-organization, which gives rise to proper arrangement or order, i.e., Law, which would give rise to structure and system functionality.  The presumption is that there is an intelligent universal mind responsible for the first act, creating an intelligent energy field that surrounds all matter and acts as the connecting glue holding the fabric of the universe together as an energetic matrix.  

It has been determined that the atoms (elements) and some molecules have their birthplace in and among the stars, e.g., Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Iron, Nitrogen, Silicon, Sulfur, etc.  Our Sun, a medium sized star, is composed of and emits these elements to Earth as we find them in volcanic rock, our atmosphere, soil, plants and animals, including humans.  In fact, 67 elements have been detected in the solar spectrum.  So, we can see that everything in the Universe is connected to everything else.

The Solar System is a living organism, consisting of all the elements that create and sustain life.  It can be said that it is a cosmic periodic table elements, from which our Periodic Chart is derived, although, Earth’s chart does not contain the full cosmic spectrum of atoms.

The Hydrogen atom is 99.9999…% empty space.  Our body is 99.999…% empty space.  For a typical human of 70 kg, there are almost 7 times 10 to the 27th power atoms (7 followed by 27 zeros), Of this, almost 2/3 is hydrogen, ¼ is oxygen and about 1/10 is carbon.  These three atoms add up to 99% of the total.

If we removed all of the space inside our atoms, the entire human race would fit inside of the volume of a sugar cube.

Our body consists of 1.2 times 10 to the 27th power molecules, and more than 99% of them are water molecules.

From this perspective, we are a blob of water walking around in a pocket of space!!!. 

Could it be that Sound gives us form, shape and the ability to move.  Cymatics.

Well, the Breath of Life enters the picture, along with Spirit, Intelligence and Information, but, that’s another story.
