Signs of the Times

Things would appear to be coming to a head, on the socio-econo-political front. As in a Synthesis, to an historical process that has been going on for centuries. Well; since the beginning of at least recorded time, when various impulses were put into play in this material realm.

I'll explain what I mean.

Earth has had an interesting history. Besides a rich diversity of life and matter developing, of animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, She has quite apparently been visited by a number of races of beings, some of which interacted with the 'home-grown' hominids more than others. One such encounter ended up with the development of what we call Homo sapiens; and then a further model was created - our own; what we call Homo sapiens sapiens. This creature has the genetic history of its mammalian roots spliced with those of its more intelligent predecessors. Well; the term, of course, is relative. There is considerable evidence - particularly from our race's roots in Sumer, and the development of various civilizations in that part of the world (especially; not to discount activity in other areas, but this one for the purposes of this potted history of humanity) - that our "more intelligent predecessors" were every bit as emotional as we; their offspring. Meaning, that the likes of the Greeks were right in assigning 'human' foibles to their pantheon of gods. Just because they were 'gods' didn't make them superior beings, in emotional development. Thus the gods of the Sumerians, and later those of the likes of the Greeks, were involved in jealousies, and wars, and such. So: just because beings can travel in interstellar space (or hyperdimensional space, for that matter) doesn't, in and of itself, make them advanced beings in anything other than intellect - mind power.

So those are our roots, as a species. Except for one thing. One missing piece to this picture. That of the 'spiritual', to this three-dimensional, material picture: the fact that our DNA was organised in such a way as allowed individuated souls to incarnate, inhabit physical entities. Souls on an evolutionary path; and fairly far along that path, relatively speaking. And thus, we can surmount the obstacle of our physical making - of its limitations - and create a civilization that is more reflective of our highest potential; not our lowest.

Here. Now. In perfect timing.

In perfect timing for what.

For our next steps, in evolution. In the evolution of our consciousness. Which place is now upon us.

Why.

Because of the times. The celestial times, as well as the material times. The latter being those factors that are crying out, now, for our superceding of the contradictions that are about to tear our settled level of socio-econo-political reality apart.

Consider.

History has developed to a point where our human consciousness lines up along fault lines roughly described as 'right' and 'left'. The 'right' is the position of those who champion individual initiative, meritocracy, competition, small government - in a word: liberty. The 'left' is the position of those who champion a more social construct, cooperation, big government - in a word: equality. (Gunnar Myrdal, a Swedish socialist, wrote a book that was cited, in the mid-50s, at the time of the US's Supreme Court deliberations over 'Brown v. Board of Education', the case looking at overturning the concept of 'separate but equal' in schooling in the segregated South, which was that region's answer to the requirements of the 14th Amendment's 'equal protection of the laws' clause. In his book, he made the bald statement: "In the battle between liberty and equality, equality is slowly winning." And that battle has been going on, in spades, in America ever since.) The sides were most starkly drawn up during the Second World War, with the added fillip of a division in the 'big government' side of the equation - ie, the totalitarian natures of both fascism and communism. Fascism (including National Socialism; but more corporatism, really, than socialism) lost that round of the 'battle'; but then the individualism (primarily) of the western forms of government ('western', as from Athens, rather than 'eastern', as from Persia) was pitted against the collectivism of communism, resulting in the 'Cold War' for decades, until the fall (really, the economic collapse; it is still breathing) of the Soviet Union. And then there is Red China, still in contention, along these classic fault lines (albeit already beginning to succumb to the dialectical process, towards a synthesis; more on which, see below).

But the classic fault-line positions have contradictions in them, still to be resolved in this historical process. On the 'right', there are seeds - very substantial seeds - of opposition to individualism; to pure individualism, where those Powers That Be lusting for more power want monopoly, of a similar nature to the 'left's' championing of a planned, centralized, socio-political economy, and are happy to use government to accomplish their ends. So on a purely material level, the dialectic - of a thesis generating an antithesis (capitalism and its extremes generating socialism/communism and ITS extremes) - is breaking down. Another factor in play is the 'spiritual' one. Capitalism developed with a strong religious base (thus the presence of a quality of dogma, of true believership, in its adherents); communism reacted to that aspect of capitalism's excesses as well, and made a stand for pure science, ie, pure materialism (and thus the quality of dogma from THAT side of the political divide; such 'experts' often refusing to countenance any evidence to the contrary of their position, out of the distorting effects of hubris). What we have, now, with the internal contradictions of capitalism (founded on greed and personal aggrandisement, it is about to founder on the corrupt dynamic of short-term gain for long-term pain) about to collapse that model, and the internal contradictions of socialism (founded on the principle of governmental force, to overcome 'human nature') failing to satisfy the human hunger for the fundamental principle of free will to be exercised - in a word, freedom - is the makings of a stage of Synthesis. The best of both sides of the equation, moving the process up to a fruition of sorts.

Classically - in this Hegelian construct, this 'take' on, understanding of how civilizations evolve - one stage of synthesis just becomes the 'thesis' of another stage. But there comes a time when the Synthesis becomes whole. When all the potential internal contradictions are dealt with.

This is such a time.

Why?

Because (a) we have reached a level of technology where we can provide everybody with all that they need, including all the civilization's energy needs, via what are called free energy devices (plugging into the universal field), and thus we no longer have to function under the classic constraints of 'economy'; and because (b) we now have solid proof that 'there is something more than Man'; that there is a Plan (both of these states 'exposed' by all the verifiable reports of Past Life Experiences, eg); and we can now stop with the drama, of playing the various parts TO the drama, and concentrate on the real thing. Which is to create a level of civilization that the world has never seen, for not having had all the contradictions in the 'plot' dealt with before. Being capable OF being dealt with.

Which it is now our job to do.

So: How should we go about this current job, for us to do, in order to land a Golden Age - THE golden Age, that has been awaiting us, since time immemorial. Awaiting us, to see the forest for the trees of life that have constantly gotten in the way of the larger picture.

That's next. And fair warning: It includes Obama relinquishing the office that he has purloined - that was purloined for him. So it includes a certain amount of upheaval.

But that's life for you.

Has always been.

Until we play the drama out, to an end.

And a new beginning. On a higher turn of the spiral.
