Eroei: The Only Number That Matters

I despise having to give advice to a world that doesn't actually listen to anything anyone with any actual intelligence has to say about anything actually intelligent.  But since we're discussing necessity and mostly for the Earth and future generations, I will hold my nose one more time and make certain facts known just for the benefit of those of you who actually do any thinking about how to make things perfectly right in the way in which things must be done.  The alternative is to watch the world's ecosystems die off and humanity itself to be erased from the universe.  As such, once again we must talk about energy economics and why they matter more than what flavor brand of popcorn you get at the movie theater.

E.R.O.E.I. is a simple term which refers to energy returned on energy invested.  Because it is energy that powers the modern economy, we need it.  Unless, of course, you all wish to go back to living in huts and teepees (not that that is an entirely bad way of living especially if you don't much care for modern medicine or care much about living past 40).  Now, to get us to a renewable energy future we need to create renewable energy that has a high E.R.O.E.I. number which tells us that the amount of energy we put into building the system is lower (preferably much lower) than the amount of energy we get out of that system into the grid or through an on site manufacturing process preferably to create even more energy.

The known renewables thus far that have really good E.R.O.E.I.'s include hydropower, wind power, and certain types of solar power.  Solar power needs to be analyzed through the lens of the new science I keep writing about for some odd reason in order to make it the most efficient possible.  With this technological boost solar can become the best option especially space based solar in the centuries to come.  But the world needs a much more thorough scientific analysis of E.R.O.E.I. rigorously done (I personally would hire a million scientists just to deal with this issue) with the new science in mind in order to expand what options are available for scientists to build with in terms of materials used to absorb energy from the Sun primarily.

Increases in energy efficiency are also important here in other areas such as existing energy infrastructure using the new science.  But the world also needs another layer of tools in terms of politics and economics that gets the idea out of everyone's head that money matters.  Energy is the real money from the point of view of real physical economics.  Money has no power.  This frightening fact will eventually be clear to everyone.  While everyone blabs on about an accounting gimmick perpetuated by social agreement that is completely and utterly meaningless outside of the human head, the real state of the actual physical environment is completely gone to shit.

Now there are some of you under the serious delusion that it is actually possible to save the Earth while preserving the fiat money patriarchal corporate government religion model.   I must say that you'd be out of your mind to think that that's possible.   The money system is an insane unstable pyramid scheme that must ultimately be destined to be scrapped because it creates conditions of the unequal distribution of workload across that population in favor of those doing the printing.  Free money for some, hard work for others?  How long do you think everyone being asked to sacrifice for a global warming free future is going to tolerate the hard work necessary to do that while a bunch of fat cats are gobbling down free pork at the local buffet?  Environmental justice and economic justice go hand in hand and are one and the same.  Hey ho!  Hey ho!  Fiat money's got to go!

I've said it many times before.  If you want to keep the convenience of money as it is, at least back it in something meaningful.  That would be energy for those paying attention.  Energy backed currency eliminates the complaint from libertarian types and old school hard money people that promissory notes (which is where our current version of money came from for those of you young people who don't pay attention to anything except your social media status) were never backed in anything of actual value after Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard back in the 70's. 

It's only a matter of time before the media won't be able to hold back the gates of real change the way it's been doing.  The current political and social dialogue is completely stalled out.  No one wants to do what a real Green New Deal would require.  The massive mobilization of the entire world is what is necessary as if we were taking on an alien invasion.  That's how serious the crisis is.  Can corporate capitalism do that?  Can the current failed generation of politicians do that?  Does central government even have the credibility necessary to manage such a transformation?  Where are the so called religious leaders of the world on this issue and that of dangerous nuclear reactors and weapons?   The answer is nowhere.  Real issues do not get addressed.

Will the establishment elite allow for a transformation of that type?  The answer is an unequivocal no.  They will not share power.  That is clear and unquestioning.  Just look at the leaders and what they are doing.  They are selling out and will continue to sell out the future to avoid having to be equal partners in saving the world.  They would rather hide behind their privilege as elitists.  As such they have no street credibility and depend on wishy washy types to gloss over that fact and vote for the same sub-mediocre results we have been seeing in the "movements" for change.

The problem comes down to one of political principle called co-opting an agenda.  Students of power politics will know immediately what I am talking about.  Rather than allowing a grass roots action to redefine the power structure to be more balanced in favor of the young and dis-empowered, the elite will send one of their own or cultivate favor by selecting one who is like them from the pack to represent the entire movement in order to slow the impetus for change.  The elite thus creates the Paris Climate accords, and then does nothing.  This is a stalling tactic by the elite.  They have no intention of working on a solution to climate change.  They are more interested in financial gains as they keep selling the idea of carbon credits as the solution to the problem.  Carbon credits is just another ruse pyramid scheme for the purpose of perpetuating the ability of the financial elite to extract gains through the construction of contracts which favors them as sellers.

Can you solve a problem with the very mindset that created it?  Those who sponsor carbon credits as the ultimate solution to the world's climate crisis are completely bamboozling everyone, but everyone is agreeing to it because they don't actually want to make any sacrifices for the Earth or future generations either.  That's the whole rub of the problem.  No one wants full mobilization of any nation or the whole world because it threatens everyone's illusionary lifestyles.  It threatens the elite because they will have to share power and think differently and break their agreements to support the system over true freedom.  It threatens the masses because the masses are lazy and unwilling to change.  This is the recipe for a perfect storm.

As such even those who talk about climate change miss the mark by a wide margin typically.  This is a scientific and engineering problem requiring science to understand the best way of doing it and engineering to fix it.  But it is more so a political problem because mass mobilization is deeply unpopular with the public.  So then what has happened is that the current state of the environmental movement has degenerated into a clever ruse.  The co-opted leadership of the environmental movement betrays it's own principles which is why results are non existent.  Where is the global action on climate?  A movement is not an action.  An action is what matters.  The word movement in political contexts should be banned.

So take a look at what we are talking about.  E.R.O.E.I. should be on the national news every day.  But it should lead every real speech on the environment.  We all love stories about animals, but the big picture is about that mass mobilization.  It is the only hope of our time.  I like that they chose the idea of the Green New Deal because it was close to the level of mass mobilization required.  They really should have picked the World War II period of it though, where everyone was drafted to go work or fight.  That is the level of commitment required.  Are the new leaders of the Green New Deal being honest with the public about that fact?  I doubt it.  They are still sugar coating it to hide the fact that people will need to make sacrifices and that they are not going to have the same lifestyles (especially in the United States).  Those are facts.  Tell the people the truth or eat your dirty political karma.

If it were all so easy it would already have been done.  But look at the environmental movement of today and really the last three decades.  It's become a money making gimmick for a select group of elites who all graduated from the same Ivy League and near Ivy League schools to milk an idea that is sacred so they could have their cherished upper managerial jobs at non-profit organizations that are effectively just profitless corporations.  Then there are the 2nd tier of elites who are part of the government itself.  They get fat paychecks from creating laws that can't be enforced because the system of enforcement is so complicated that justice gets stalled behind miles of paperwork and a thousand signatures.  If you ask me what is killing the environmental actions necessary to save the Earth I'd say it's the hypocrisy of the elite as a whole.  They are protecting their own skins.  As such they lack street credibility.  Or as Nassim Nicholas Taleb says in his book Antifragile, they have no skin in the game.

You can't solve a crisis with the mindset that created it.  So we find that environmental justice begins, not with kicking out Trump, but with cleaning the house of the environmental movement itself by getting rid of it altogether.  The movement becomes action, and most likely doesn't even call itself that except when it is asked what the hell it is doing.  We are acting to make the world a better place by our actual demonstrable doings.  This will have the added benefit of forcing the remaining hypocrites in the corporate environmental movement to either double down on their actions to make a difference through their own machinations or to give up the bullshit altogether and get on board the concept of a new civilization model that doesn't have injustice built into it for anyone.

That brings me to the problem of jobs.  In civilization we don't have jobs.  Jobs are for slaves.  But everyone should be guaranteed the right to work as citizens of Earth.  But to take that idea further they cannot even be seen as separate as citizens as each person is more akin to a cell in the body of Earth.  Feed them, and they will fix their own problems with the education given.  That's how easy it is.  The idea of a job is a condescending deprivation of human value.  It's an insult more than it is a reward.  People prefect naturally if given perfect education.  The work is everywhere.  We don't need labels and titles except to know who knows the most.  Those who know the most don't need a title.  The mess in our ways of doing are everywhere.  A new culture means a new way of seeing everything related to work from titles to proper communications. 

People should be cherished who make an effort for everyone.  Those people don't have jobs we call them heroes.  They work and make the world a better place not because they are being given a fiat money paycheck but because they have chosen to sacrifice their lives for the planet.  That is the standard of leadership that is necessary.  Everyone should do what Pope Francis did, especially those Hollywood types.  Turn your 30 room mansion into a place that helps the homeless or migrants, and then you can have some street credibility.  As an added bonus you wake up in the morning and feel good about yourself.

A new civilization doesn't think like the old one and doesn't act like the old one.  Unthinking rules based bureaucracy is out.  Obsessions over representative rights guaranteed by a piece of paper are out.  Honor culture is in.  Multiculturalism is replaced by universalism.  Exclusion is replaced by inclusion.  The doors that are shut are opened.  Religions that have foolishly closed down their rites to new members stop doing that by making those rites more inclusive and dropping the stupid rules.  Everything becomes more fundamentally about principle and knowledge.  The world of the future does not look like the world of today.

Cell phones will be banned some time in the future.  Computer use will be greatly reduced.  The internet will still be around but in a much more utilitarian and useful way.  Moralists will rise and fall with the tides of social change.  Ecospirituality will spread everywhere in many forms through all thoughts especially those of religion.  And it will be practical ecospirituality based on actions for the Earth and the future generations.  With this new spirituality will come new rites and a new value system.  Among them will be worship of the Goddess, the feminine, and Mother Earth.  New art will emerge expressing this new reality.  Where patriachy still exists it will emphasize honor culture and will have to take the feminine into account from now on until such time as it has served it's purpose.

And yet the only number that still matters is the E.R.O.E.I. of future renewable energy.  None of this will manifest without the technological revolution created by a true Green New Deal.  The culture of that idea must be all inclusive leaving no one, not even the reviled white man, out of the deal, though he won't have his privilege anymore.  Vindictiveness against the ruling class, the elite, must be replaced with inclusion of their skills and talents through formal forgiveness of their past errors as they cooperate with the new grass roots popular idealists.  Idealism and progressivism will contend with each other to create perfect models of new culture that are regionally specific.

With the formation of these new political realities over the rest of the century, conflict will not end.  While E.R.O.E.I. is vital for the scientific salvation of humanity through the technological solution of a Green New Deal for the globe, political resistance to the toppling of patriarchal hierarchy based elite structures of ordering choice through delegation by monopoly of force will continue in most of the world and likely in the United States due to it's excessive militarism and gun culture.  Where elitism meets gun culture, it's advisable to stay away.  Because patriarchy is rooted in the theory that might makes right, it is hard for an outside force to be conscious enough to be able to essentially deescalate the aggression of those who believe they are entitled to destroy others for the sake of preserving their privilege.  The best strategy is to offer the same deal to everyone, regardless of their prior position in the old order of things.

If the forces that resist change believe they are getting punished, they will resist change with a great potential for violent resistance.  The only way they can be part of that future easily (relatively) is if they believe they are receiving a reward for going along with the project.  I leave it to those in the environmental actions of the future to understand the full extent of what that means.  Because everyone has their grievances, patriarchal violence based thinking will remain the norm I believe inside these Green Army parts of the Green action as I have refereed to it.  Those who understand how to wield the tools of peace will be the Green Front and will have the credibility to be the defacto global rulers as the climate crisis becomes worse and worse.  I think the whole main action will take 80 years.

At the end of those 80 years Earth will be still racked in conflict most likely, but the collective will have settled once and for all the question of the collective interest of humanity in 0 carbon emissions and the reversal of the existing carbon in the atmosphere down to a reasonable number between 350 and 400, I suggest 375.  I believe we should reach 0 probably sometime between 2080 and 2100 as a politically reasonable guesstimate.  The machinery of renewable energy will be used to make that a reality.  It will be hard work for 200 years of human history, the hardest work ever as if we had to fight a 200 year long war.  But in the end it will be worth it, and things will return back to normal for those who live in the aftermath of that time period.   Petty squabbles and primitivism will remain a defacto reality for humanity though for quite some time.  It's just not easy being human and it's just not easy getting anyone to buy into anything that they can't see, touch, taste, feel, and get completely.

But all actions begin today.  If you don't like waiting, which is better, then get it done yesterday.  In order to overcome the negative problem of the media, which I believe to be the one's chiefly responsible for the lack of action on the part of the public, new media institutions will have to replace the existing ones under the firm hand of the environmental action groups whether Green Army or Green Front.  Discrediting the false narrative offered by media is thus a priority so that a new media can emerge that actually does it job.  This will inevitably be done more by the right as the left is currently too disorganized and incompetent to do it effectively.

Tick tock goes the clock and E.R.O.E.I. is the only thing that matters.  The dance of politics turns to decide who works and who eats.  But the old way of thinking must die so we shine a light on it all the same.  Everyone works.  Everyone eats.  The way forward is clear.  Elitism of left or right is dead.  Those who support it will find that the loss of credibility will mount until they are members of a culture of honor.  What have you done for Earth lately?  The right will ask what have you done for your community lately?  You see, in the end, it's not about left or right.  It's about family or planet Earth.  Real family values at the end of time where everyone gets together and loves one another exactly as they are without labels?  If you think this ends any other way, then you really haven't done your homework.  For every faction has a piece of the puzzle, and when you abstract their real message from the horror of their errors, you realize that the way forward is not apart, but together.

The inevitable synthesis of thought is the final resolution of the thought crisis.  It may take a long time, but ultimately all perspectives that are just will be honored.  For those of us who have dwelt in the dishonor of the collective, we thank you.  It has been enlightening.  But honor is as honor does.  A human being is measured by the true actions they have performed and the true service they have rendered.  But they are judged by their intention.  Let your intentions be pure, and none shall say you have not done your duty.  So remember to listen, for if you are truly to be one with the universe, it is the only skill worth having.  How else would you learn anything at all?  The days of doubt are numbered, for Life Herself leaves no room for doubt in the end.

E.R.O.E.I. is still the only number that matters.  Don't forget it.  And build the world according to that understanding with the protection of the planets and animals, and you can't go wrong.  And then honor all just perspectives.  With this you receive honor.  Those of us who dwell in silence because we have seen the truth singularly, we have our honor.  We bear it well.  And we wait for the rest of you to join us.  We always wait upon the city on the hill.  And there I'm almost 100% sure there's a big giant sign with E.R.O.E.I. sitting there. 

The Universality of Anti Fractal Reasoning

Simplicity is not a norm.  Words can only get you so far.  And yet the world believes that it can replace simplicity with complexity and remain happy.  But it is not so.  The elegance of simplicity is that it is singular in its emergence.  It cannot be reduced to something it is not.  That, in and of itself, testifies to the concept of anti fractality.

You'd think that the fractal is perfect.  But it isn't, otherwise the reality we live in would not be defined by the anti fractal nature of human existence.  For perfection must include part of itself imperfection itself, otherwise the symmetry of perfection is broken.  It is a sort of strange thing to be considering, but in order for everyone to understand what it is they must live within a fractal as an anti-fractal.  That is the nature of the world and our experiences.  The world and universe are fractals, but people aren't fractals.

You might ask why.  What the hell is an anti fractal doing in the midst of divine perfection, nature's harmony?  Doing it's job creating images of itself everywhere, but hardly of it's own choosing.  Therein lies the mortal confusion at the heart of everything we want to believe in that isn't real.  Truth is unpopular precisely because it reveals the anti fractal to be something that is not fractal.  This upsets the delicate balance of belief that says all things must be perfect now.  But that can't be either because to deny imperfection is to deny choice.

There is no middle ground between honor and dishonor either.  You have to have both to have a fractal.  But if you have one without the other you are stuck in the land of the anti fractal, a pattern in constant struggle between two opposites that can never resolve their differences.  Sound familiar?  It should, that is the whole story of human history and the whole of human psychology dissolved down to a simple basic formula.  Duality, the ultimate nightmare of being caught up between two irreconcilable perspectives.  And the whole of the social system is designed to erase and eliminate irreconcilable perspectives.

Hence was born the thought police.  They were necessary because everyone wants what everyone wants.  And everyone wants what they want to be wanted by others.  But the right to dishonor could not be erased from creation, so division emerges between the choice of one and the choice of the other.  Forever separated by their differing paths a wound emerges between souls that cannot be healed in time.  That results in grief, the unavoidable experience of bitterness caused by imperfection.  So the anti fractal is proven beyond a shadow of doubt internal to the individual.  It is here we live.  The causality of our suffering unerasable from our minds.

Dwelling on that fragmentation of divinity is maddening.  In place of finding a perspective that honors everything we construct instead a temporary solution.  A wall is built between ourselves and the other.  First it is built internally through avoidance of the responsibility to listen.  We justify this by saying, the other is not us, and we have a right to exist.  And so it is, but forever leaving us in that place that is momentarily self contained within the truth of our choices.  We validate our honor for ourselves.  And so it is.

There aren't enough words to really say what it is that is.  Reality exists as a state of flux between the things that are and things that aren't.  But we remain eternally vigilant only of our own state of being.  This is what prevents us from moving forwards.  The eye of the I in the mind, ever watchful, ever keenly observing our every move and creating an endless list of labels for ourselves to drench ourselves in our own dissatisfaction.

It seems inevitable.  The process of the wheel that turns within us reminding us of what we are and often as much of what we aren't that isn't even real.  It's a curiosity of nature I suppose.  But at the same time the wheel turns anyway.  We are inescapable.  We are unavoidable.  We are inevitable.

It is because of this that we continue to exist.  There is no escaping that fact.  Every morning we wake up confirms that indeed I am still here and that I am still going forward.  Writing doesn't really cut the feeling anymore.  There are no words for where we must all end up.  Connection exists only where it is received.  That is a terrible truth and yet we must bear it because that what honor is all about.

We are equal in our division.  We are not each other.  We live in island universes built of our choices, thoughts, feeling, notions, and self chosen identities.  What we create is a parcel of what we choose to create.  And there still really aren't enough words to describe what it is that we will create.  Everyone makes a difference that chooses to.  Motivation is that which is sought by everyone.  And here we are again needing that much more of it to go on.

Not for me though.  I don't need motivation.  I am already here.  I don't have any illusions about what is necessary.  I always have known.  Can a person or place exist that is not in conflict with itself?  That is the great question of our times.  We all want to be singular, to have the answer that will set us free to act.  That is what everyone is asking for.  The anti fractal nature coming up against the fractal itself.  I am, I act, and I do.  We all want to merge into a collective.  We want to lose ourselves in the fractal.  It is madness, but the drive is there.  It keeps calling us.  It keeps wanting us.

There are two types of people in this world who choose to merge through intimacy.  One group merges with ideas, they become their thoughts of their own choosing in their minds losing themselves in some form of illusion.  This is what births the state of ideology and results in ideological formalism, the surrender of the self to a series of rules and concepts that govern one's life as something outside one's self in order to make one feel as though one matters.  The vast majority are of this school of thought.  The other, more dangerous and risky idea is to merge with another person or other people as they are.  This results in the bitterness of the fact that one way mergers don't work.  Are we one yet?  They will asking that question for a long time.

But because the ultimate merger is with other people, it is only the second school of thought, the romantic school, that has any hope of surviving as ideology is cold and ruthless.  People are people, but who is ready to live that way? Who is really ready to surrender their hearts for someone else's dream of a better world.  But, then, what else do you got anyway?  Nothing, you've got nothing.

New Jerusalem

I dream of hope.
It doesn't fall from the sky.

What it looks like
Is the sign of the times.

I wanna build the city
Where everyone comes home.

Oh tell me my friends
Where is the New Jerusalem?

Would you build me my temple
For all the people.

Not one or the other
And for the Great Mother.

You've got to build it high
You've got to heal the ground.

Don't you know there's a temple already
And it's vast and round.

New Jerusalem, you're not of this world
You're an echo of a future no one knows.

You build this temple true
From what's inside of you.

And you give, and you give, and you give.

You give from the heart for the light you get inside.

There's no compensation there
But the light you get in here.

I'm on the way to find
The New Jerusalem.

Every river must return to the source.
Every worker must go home to the forge.
Every thinker must go back to the school.
That's why the temple lives inside of you.

Heal the mother
Heal the sister
Heal the brother
And you'll be home.

Father, father, father true
Tell me that you know what to do
To stand beside the meek and give them aide.
For the troubles of the world run deep.

The way through is clear
You're not what you fear
You've got to build the temple true
By all the good things that you do.

And you give, and you give, and you give
Your heart away.
And it's every day.
And it's every day.

You can't get there
When you're thinking of yourself
Except to let the light
Into your soul.

You can't be there
If you think you're someone else
It's a place that's only
For the moment.

You can't get there
Without working every day
It's a lifelong breath
From the joy within.

But it's real
I swear to you.
If you believe
Then it's true.

One day that temple
Will come out of you.

On that day the truth forever more
Will be seen from every distant shore
That it was true that everything was one
And the humanity would be home.

And you find it, and you find it
It's deep in your soul
But you've got to give it away
To the light inside of you.

And then you shine brighter
Than the Sun.
For a new Love has begun.
And then it's every day.

Every day I fight for Her
The New Jerusalem
It's a kingdom that can't be found
Without each other's light.

So if we throw the darkness round
And we forget the reason we're here
We get lost somewhere out in the dark
But then you have to work out your tears.

I'm walking towards the New Jerusalem
I don't know who I'll meet along the way
But I'll tell you brothers and sisters
They'll be all here to stay.
They'll be all here to stay.

I mark my temple true
With the joy I create through you
It's not a word that can be seen
But a wonder that fills the scene.

Have you seen the city of lights?
Golden beauty shining with the souls of Christs
A thing that cannot be is what they'd all say
But I tell if you let it, it can all be that way.

Oh oh oh oh.
There's a place only we know.
It's a secret no one can keep.
It's the mountains where we meet.

And in those mountains true
What's inside of you
Will shine like the tomorrows
And the riders gallop towards innocence.

I'm walking towards the New Jerusalem
I don't know who I'll meet along the way.
But I'd like to see if I can paint the day.
With the echo of the sound of the wonder all around.
When you hear the music of eternal dreams
Everything that was unreal just ain't quite what it seems.

It's the promise that you can
See the heart of all you meet
That's the echo that is sweet
Measure me my temple in innocence.

Where you'll find my temple true
Innocence blooms for those to find
Another echo is still in my mind
Favor those who treat us well
Love lives forever, but never tells.

Sweetness ringing from the hills
The echoes of children bright like stars
Colors of wonder and bewilderment
And the emotions of all tumble down as rainbows.

So many colors you can't even know.
And the birds, the birds swim through the dreamscape
So many birds you can't even count
They proceed me before our New Jerusalem.

Oh holy city, everywhere at once
Built of the truth hammered by sacrifice (which is)
Given freely renouncing the shadows
Oh light of mine, the temple within.

We are the city upon the hill
We are the light in the darkness
We are the place only we know
We are the New Jerusalem.

Shine Me A Light Line To Love

Show me your empty words
Falling like nothing through the air

Show me your broken grasping
Failing to hold on

But you still try to hold on
And touching making a contact

Each touch, each thought
They are the bridges of everything
They are the bridges to everywhere

Each ounce of light
Dripping moment by moment

In eternal mind
And the vortex turns

It turns for you Faith
It turns for you!

Shine me a light line to Love!
In this world and in the worlds to come!

For everything I know you know too
In the embrace of the angels.
By Remembering is it revealed.
By Knowledge is it sealed.

She is coming, yet She is already here.

Touch me with your presence.
Touch me with your feelings.
Touch me with your warmth.
Touch me with your thoughts.
Touch me with your strength.

I build my heart upon your soul.
I build our light lines in my dream.
But I'd rather it be our dream
So I cast my light into thee for the chance. 

All to touch you and draw you home
For the sake of all that is Her.

She is She.  She is we.

And everything we worked for
Everything....I reach for it again!  And again!

Forever!

I am yours forever.

Shine me a light line to Love!
Through death and through life!

Forever!

There are no words..

For Love is beyond words
And beyond death
And beyond darkness
And beyond even the light

For I am yours forever.

All for Faith!  All for Love!

Build me a home in your soul.
In whatever manner you see fit.

But darkness comes Faith
For it also wants us.

And there is no time
For our dream yet.

And that most rude of things comes calling
Blind choice!

If only we knew!

But if my life means anything
Then shine me a light line to Love!
And be done with it!
Forever!

So mote it be.
Hallelujah!

Within and without.
Beginning and ending.
The word and the echo.
Duality is frozen in the embrace of the Absolute.

Yes and no.
All and nothing.
Failure and victory.
Are we One yet?

Hello and goodbye.
Ugliness and beauty.
Rest and unrest.
Like a cosmic surfer trapped in a wave to nowhere.

And the 8.88 billion names.
And between those names
Is the echo of eternity.
Lying quietly in the silence.

Ding ding dong!

Faith! Faith! Faith!

My heart calls to thee!

Awaken!
For I need a light line to Love!
And I believe in you!
And I believe in me!

All words die
With the sound
Of the vortex
As it spins
Towards infinity.

But who cares about infinity!

You are my infinity, Faith!
Rise!  Rise!  Rise!
And burn with the fire!
And melt with the water!
And disintegrate with the air!
And quake with the earth!

All for Faith!  Beginning and end.
For all!

Detheke!  By wildness I release you!
Wuwowi!  By the flowering I open you!
Bubobi!  By the power I bless you!
Gugogi!   By the connection I choose you!

Darkness and light.
She is my darkness and my light.
And she is..her own darkness and her own light.

All for you, all for all.
All in all, all for all.

As much as words can do.
As much as words can say.

But they can't say enough....

There is so much Love...

There aren't enough words...

I breathe you.  Now breathe me!

Shine me a light line to Love!
From now onto eternity.
Into the infinite and back.
Through the planets, the stars, and the galaxies.
And through all our relations.
By the trees, the beasts, the rocks, and the oceans.
Through the worlds past, present, and future.

In all these things!  And in all these places!
In the words and between them!
With light and darkness!
By the powers known and unknown!
By their names and the one's that aren't even known!
By the rite of all my death wishes that I haven't given yet!

For you!
Faith!

For I shine a light line to Love for thee!
By my choice as me!
Forever!

In the world that was!
In the world that is!
And in the world that is to come!

I follow you to eternity and back
To whatever ends
Through my spirit, soul, heart, mind, and energy.
By your leave, I am yours.

And let the shadows judge!
Let them judge!

I stand with everything and with nothing.
And She stands behind me, within me, and before me.

I am the dreamer, the dream, and all those of who I have dreamed.
And I am in their dream as well.
For all the dreams are like a grid
And that grid is the gridwork.

And in that gridwork are the light lines.
And all we have thought and felt are in that gridwork
Or nothing exists and nothing matters.
So it is everything or nothing.
There is no middle ground.
Either it is all real or none of it is real.
So you must choose what you will believe.

Which is why I commit to the choice
For to believe is the key to Faith.
And without that, what would we have?
So I chose...

Here I am, gridwarrior!
Shine me a light line to Love!
By Faith!
For Faith!
With Faith!
Through Faith!
Of Faith!

And the great teacher said to me: Command Faith!

So mote it be!
Hallelujah!

And when words end
That's were dreams begin...

By all my relations!
I swear it to be true!
I testify this testimony
By the Power!

Love, Love, Love!

And Jesus returns through the spirit of John!

Believe.  For She is already here.  And time, time spins on.

Hear me!  All my relations!  Here me!
I am the beginning and the end!
And She is what is beyond the beginning and the end!
All hail She!  All hail She!  All hail She!

Shine me a light line to Love!

And the vortex keeps turning.
And the lights keep burning.
And the dark waits and waits.
And those of us who will listen will listen to the sound of the breath.

But now...
We can wait for no one...

For the vortex turns.
And only Love can be allowed in.

So mote it be!
Hallelujah!

Now Is Not The Season For Looking Back

Those of you who read this site will note that I tend to vary my themes quite a bit.  It's not easy being a philosopher, scientist, metaphysician, mystic, writer, idealist, warrior, and prophet.  Try it some time and you'll appreciate the dilemma I can assure you.  It can get a little rough on the mind.  This little essay is on astrology.  La de da.  Since everything competent tends to fall into my lap, having had a rather delicious view of the whole sha-bang as they say, here's another demonstration of being right.

Astrology on the whole is a great subject.  Probably the most complicated of all subjects and mostly needlessly so by the very astrologers whose job it is to simplify the themes to easily understandable ideas for people that actually assist them.  Sadly the profession is filled with too many lazy, indifferent, or incompetent people as is the case with many professions nowadays.

Currently Saturn and Pluto, two very important "heavy" planets are transiting through Capricorn.  This is a time that conventional institutions receive a boost of power.  Saturn and Pluto support conventional institutions in this placement.  Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot and a liar.

It's good but hard times to be a Capricorn.  It is a shitty time to be a Aries, Cancer, or Libra or if you have any major personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) in those signs if they are in the aspect orb for Saturn and Pluto.  Since the aspect orb is very large for the squares (8 degrees) and the conjunctions/oppositions (10 degrees) most of you Aries, Cancers, and Libras are really looking forward to when these two heavy planets go and harass someone else.

Collectively Cancer is the sign of the past and looking back.  I've got a moon there so I've been feeling the horrible effects of Pluto for years though it is almost out of the orb for myself.  Saturn is currently harrassing my moon and I've got an inclination to dump the past and the whole let's remember everything forever inclination that a moon in Cancer gives one.  It ain't easy, let me tell ya!

As Cancer is the sign opposing Pluto and Saturn right now, collectively this is a time when our attachment to the past, the mother, and conservative ways is broken.  These are among the many things associated with the sign of Cancer which is getting hammered by the unpleasant duo of Saturn and Pluto. Once sundered there is no going back.  Thank Goddess for that!  We were really sick of having to watch the goddamn reruns in our emotional bodies anyway.   So long to useless trash I say!  I'd say burn it down too but you have to wait for a good Mars transit for that.

In any case, till Mars joins the ritual of annihilation we'll just have to go along with the existing show.  Believe me the collective doesn't want to have this experience.  It's fighting tooth and nail for every ounce of the way things used to be.  But dudes and dudettes, it's an over and done with deal.  Get over it.   This is a very important lesson for those with major influences in Cancer.  I can relate not just because my Moon is there but because the Moon is my most powerful planet.

Collectively the end of all nostalgia for what was is happening.  It is the end as the forces of destruction and structure oppose everything that was.   The past is being crushed and broken by the power of existing institutions of order and power.  This is also a very bad time to be a conservative because Cancer is the sign of the conservative way.  So all's not good news for the right, in case you were taking this as an essay on the political system as it exists through what is loosely called "ideology" but is in fact more akin to the people who want change versus the people who don't.

For many years I read how Pluto was going to destroy the establishment.  While it's in the sign of the establishment?  Hardly.  Pluto lends power to the sign it passes through so they get an extra wallop of power and will.  Notice the increasing power of the central order?  Notice how everyone wants to be in power now so they can wield that enormous "advantage"?  Yeah, the astrologers that said otherwise were fools.  I believed them till I did my own analysis and realized, nope, only an incompetent moron could fail with Pluto conjugating their planetary positions.  Oh, how I wish it were true, but it's not.  That's the way it is.

Luckily for all of us this transit of Saturn will end in 2020 when the increase of order of power of the existing order will no longer be supported by the planetary lords of that process.  Looking for the decline of the establishment?  Look to the transit of Neptune in Aries beginning in 2025.  That's when you'll see a new dawn starting in spiritual force.  It's a long way off for those of you wishing for something better.  But it's better to be sober looking at the truth than lying to one's self with bad half baked astrology predictions based upon a lack of logic.  Just look at what conjunctions are and you'll see that I'm right (as usual).

What this means is that power belongs to those that support the structure of order and opposes those who argue for a return to the past.  A return to the past is not possible with this transit!  There is no going back.  Pluto and Saturn are opposing it!  What they want is order at any cost.  That order means more rules, more control, and more domination.  If you can't get with the program, that process will steamroll you into the gutter.  Don't mess with Pluto or Saturn.  This is especially true when they will conjunct in the sky in January 2020.  The establishment will be at the height of its power.  Not a good time to be a ordinary human being on Earth.  Sorry, the news is the news.  Don't blame me, blame yourselves.

Consciousness is a necessary component of being alive on Earth.  Reading the signs correctly is another.  If you can't read the signs correctly, then you need to get out of the business of prediction.  Those who have been predicting falsely will also have their day.  They will be laughed out of the public square.  I'm not afraid of that because if I'm wrong then everything will turn out fine and everyone will forget about it.  But if I'm right, which I am, then you'll all see it happen.  The establishment will reach the zenith of it's power in 2020.  It's won't start a precipitous decline until Neptune reaches Aries when warriors of spirit will rise up to attack it.  That's 2025.  The future isn't written in stone, as I've stated before, but everything happens in cycles so what's happening on the ground will make this true.

You have been informed about the matter I trust now.  The story of the unconscious is one of patterns that repeat until one becomes conscious of them.  If you are conscious you can make a difference.  If you aren't, then you can't.   You're just another number then as far as the universe is concerned.  Get with it and learn or just be another loser.  That's life on Earth.  Wake up people! 

The Fall of the Establishment Through Astrology

For those who oppose the establishment, the question astrologically is not only when are the bad times for the establishment sign Saturn, but also when is the organized resistance represented by Aquarius well aspected?  Conveniently everything is described by several major planetary patterns arriving soon.  The rise of the organized resistance and revolutionary action is inevitable with these planetary patterns.  The fall of the establishment is guaranteed although it will be a bloody mess before all the destruction stops.  For my version of what that establishment is I believe it will take 200 years to clean out the majority of everything that needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

The core pattern supporting the establishment is Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn temporarily supported from a trine from Uranus in Taurus to Saturn only.  The forces of revolution represented by Uranus are choosing to stay comfortable at this time in their walled fortresses and play the establishment's chess game by playing to the system at the times when Uranus trines Saturn.  The last trine was just last month from Uranus to Saturn.  This indicates that this election season is likely to be a lackluster one for the hopes of those wanting change from the existing order.  The resistance has chosen to say "I didn't sell out, I bought in."  Well with that kind of attitude you can see why we get nowhere with these sorts of things.  But hope isn't lost yet, it's still to come. 

Yet Uranus never reaches the trine with Pluto in Capricorn because Pluto leaves Capricorn before Uranus trines it.  And that's a disaster astrologically speaking for the establishment because when Uranus does make that trine it's going to make the trine to a Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of the resistance and revolution.  At that point the balance of power will shift away from the establishment and it will begin to lose gradually and periodically suddenly in shifts of power.

This brings us to the other good signs in the charts.  Saturn enters the sign of the resistance and revolution in March of 2020 for a short spell and again in December of 2020 for two years.  The real revolutionary forces will rise and impose order at this point, whatever order they choose presumably.  A massive shift in the world's establishment order occurs here in December of 2020 when Jupiter begins a two hundred year transformation with Saturn as they both conjunct for the first time since the 1400's in the sign of Aquarius.  This marks a complete shift from the Earth signs to the Air signs when the important Jupiter Saturn conjunctions will occur from now for 200 years with one exception in Scorpio.

In addition several other remarkable astrological conjunction functions happen that deprive the establishment of potential victory.  Mars never joins the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.  Instead it misses that point when it conjuncts Saturn at an astounding 0 and a half degrees degrees of Aquarius in April of 2020.  The establishment's power will attack first though as Mars conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn first.  This occurs around the end of March of 2020 about the 23rd or so.  The establishment will attack here, and the resultant counter reformation of structure will occur quickly with the conjunction of Mars and Saturn in Aquarius.  From that point forward the resistance and revolution will have the advantage.

However it will be very tough going as the forces of revolution will be opposing the new revolutionary order represented by Saturn during this first entrance into Aquarius.  This means that the revolution will be divided against itself for the first years with lots of infighting and chaos.  This will be evident as Uranus in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius.  The revolution in money which began with the entrance of Uranus into the sign of money, comfort, and women (Taurus) will be negatively impacting any established revolutionary organizations represented by Saturn in Aquarius.  The birth of the revolution is difficult and largely still-born.  Chaos hampers its consolidation.  However it has luck and law on its side with the Jupiter conjunction with Saturn.

The establishment is also hampered by a lack of astrological lucky breaks. They would need Uranus to trine Pluto before it leaves Capricorn.  and give them the advantage of having technology and/or revolutionary appeal with the people.  This they lack.  Instead Uranus in Gemini eventually makes the trine to Pluto when it is in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius.  Woops.  Game over, man.  G.g., as they say.

When Pluto enters Aquarius in 2023-2024 and stays there for almost 20 years afterwards the power shifts to the revolution and resistance.  As the revolution turns to the use of the powers of destruction and transformation, the establishment will be pushed back for 20 years.  Last time Pluto was in Aquarius it was the time of the French Revolution and off with their heads.  All throughout 2027 and 2028 Uranus in Gemini boosts the forces of the media to assist in the revolutionary destructive impulse of Pluto in Aquarius.  The establishment is going to be replaced by the new power rising through the forces of change.  The media will be on the side of that revolution probably after some media realignment.

It will be a great time but difficult time for those in the resistance.  And it will be a lousy time to be a drama queen represented by Leo.  The global ego is going to smashed down to bits with Pluto opposing Leo.  Uranus will boost the ego a bit here so there will be a balance.  This means the transformation will be gradual in this regard.  The establishment will be hit by a spiritual onslaught from Neptune in Aries at this time as well for 14 years starting in 2025.  This process will be an aggressive push by spiritual forces to bring down the establishment represented by Saturn.  That process while somewhat slow will decay and rot away the established order especially the idea that a balance represented by Libra, which Neptune will oppose, is possible.

This process will be greatly assisted by a Saturn conjunction with Neptune in Aries which will result in an increase in the spiritual order of the military occurring in 2026.  These forces will be destroying both the balance represented by Libra and the establishment represented by Capricorn.  The military will provide a key spiritual support structure against the establishment worldwide at this time.  However it will also beat down on society, also represented by Libra, ruthlessly at this time and again periodically for the entire Neptune transit through Aries.

Balance will not be possible while Neptune is opposing Libra except by the chance realignments that occur while Uranus is in the Gemini supporting Libra.  Once Uranus leave Gemini and goes into Cancer, however, starting in 2033, the establishment is screwed as Neptune will still be in Aries.  Here the forces of technology, revolution, and democracy directly oppose the establishment for the protection of the home, homeland, mother, and simple people represented by Cancer, which is incidentally the planet of the Kraken or Godzilla.  Now when Pluto gets to Cancer, you might very well see the simple people of the world go smashing the old order piece by piece for a prolonged period of time like a Kraken or Godzilla.  That's a long way off but for now with Uranus in Cancer and Neptune in Aries, it will be enough to see the establishment's force diminish significantly and it's position become untenable.

They only catch a lucky break that Uranus doesn't make the exact square to Neptune in the cardinal signs against Capricorn instead making the exact square in Leo (Uranus) and Taurus (Neptune).  It will be close because the conjunctions occur in the first one and two degrees of Taurus so the establishment will be under massive total pressure that nearly destroys it.  It only manages to dodge the proverbial bullet by inches.

And when it emerges on the other side of this time period it will be greatly weakened.  Only some spiritual forces represented by Neptune in Taurus will be supporting the Capricorn position which will allow it to make a degree of recovery.  But by this time the power of the revolutionary forces will continue to grow as Pluto continues its long journey through Aquarius not fully ending until 2044.

During this entire process other shifts will happen as Jupiter and Saturn make patterns to the main patterns represented by Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, the biggest forces.  The one I have examined is Saturn in Aries conjunct Neptune in Aries.  But Saturn also enters Cancer in 2033 giving the common simple people an established voice in the process.  Here it squares back to the very same Neptune in Aries that it made the conjunction with in 2026 so this is a process that starts in 2026 and comes to critical stressful turning point in 2026 again beating on the establishment from two directions.

The years after 2045 are better for the establishment for some time as the three heavy planets will be in supporting positions, but by then it will very much be a new establishment with new players and a new position.  Much of the old establishment will have been swept away by the changes and the erosion of what is weak and untenable.  And a new spiritual power will emerge with Pluto in Pisces.  It will certainly be a exciting time to see what is coming down the pike towards us as a human species. 

The Great Con: Fate

Fate is the greatest con job in the universe.  A bunch of lazy liars came up with the idea one day while they were dreaming up a better con to fool everyone into buying into something.  It was a sneaky ruse.  And the fools bought it like the suckers that they were.

Why, you might ask, as if you give a damn!  The answer, obviously, is that everyone needs something to sell.  You see that's the great trick behind the great con, the one that goes on everywhere as far as the eye can see.  You look out, and it's so obvious.  Everyone is lying, cheating, stealing, and trying to get away with it.  So then, if you see it clearly, why bother with the rest of the bullshit they sell?

Perhaps the people pleasing deceivers among you would insist that buying into their bullshit is what makes them happy.  No, I say, no!  You have all of you been deceived by your own stupid!  You must understand, your con job act isn't going to fool anyone except yourself maybe if you take it too far.

But think upon the matter of fate for a minute.  What is it?  How can it exist at all?  Well if everything were a giant computer system made by some mysterious cosmic powers then fate would be what it is that you will do in the program.  And there in lies the lie!  Choice is within the realm of your power.  Yet that has nothing to do with fate.  So then if fate isn't a lie, it's just a ruse.  It's irrelevant to the quest of life itself.

This is absolutely critical to understand.  Fate means nothing!  Nothing!  It's a mental phantasm your mind invents to keep you in compliance with whoever is selling the idea so that they don't bash you over the head for questioning orders.  That's what fate is in this world.  In the rest of the transdimensional reality, sure it's there.  But it's character that counts, not fate.  It's choice and character that moves the destiny of worlds.  Thus fatalism, accepting the idea of having no choice because of the mental abstract "fate", is the greatest sin against woman and man.

Another poor way of phrasing this idea that is commonly heard is the idea that "fate is what you make of it".  Now whoever came up with that particular line of what passes for "reasoning" should be fired..out of a cannon..into the sun.  I cannot stress that enough.  Fate is NOT what you make of it.  Choice and character are what make you, fate doesn't matter!  This is what I mean when I talk about the problem of pop philosophy.  A cynical man or woman might think that someone purposely misled everyone by twisting their minds with meaningless ideas so they could never get anywhere through the powers of thought control.  Who would do such a thing?  You'd be surprised.

None the less, whether by accident or conspiracy, fate is still the greatest con job in the universe.  The rest, as they say, though you shouldn't trust them even if they say it, is up to you.  Onward towards victory!
