The great addiction
Trying to figure things out has become a dis-ease ...
Avid curiosity has always been one of the hallmarks of my character.
Aside from my birth ( I can see the operating room now from the position of being lifted out of my mother’s unconscious body by the doctor. The most potent sensation was that even the sounds in the OR were COLD!) … the first thing I remember is standing at the bars in my crib at home, wondering where the water that was given to me by my nurse came from.
It was a mystery that drove me to crawl over the bars and promptly plummet to the wood floor, face first, garnering me a large lump on my forehead, and my nurse a supreme dressing down from my mother for not taking better care of me.
Curiosity is also what drove me to become a journalist. Get paid for asking people questions about medicines and healing practices? The nature of the universe? The role of consciousness?
Where do I sign?
So, to appear to criticize curiosity by calling the human desire to “figure things out” to task would seem odd indeed.
But it’s not the impulse of wonder and curiosity I want to call on the carpet …
it’s the methodology behind our approach to discovery that needs severe examination.
The corrupt core
It all started with the original mistake of beginning to view ourselves as primarily physical rather than etheric beings.
Granted, it’s hard not to self-identify in terms of physicality when you’re in a physical body and environment. That’s a “duh.” But in ancient days—and in the few remaining indigenous outposts on this planet today—the spiritual leaders … the shamans and medicine men and medicine women, were there to remind the people of Who They Really Were.
Stages of initiation were designed to get us beyond the body stupor and back into the “real world.” And by real world I don’t just mean the world of “spirit”—but rather the reality of being multidimensional beings with physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and universal aspects comprising the whole of us.
As well, culturally, the recognition and honoring of the spirit/aliveness in all things was foremost in tribal people’s consciousness. Whether digging roots for supper or hunting deer or cutting trees for wood, the awareness of an alive connection and relationship with nature was paramount.
Moment to moment to moment, experientially, our place in the scheme of things was obvious. We were secure.
We had no need to question who we were.
If there was curiosity … if there was an internal drive in a child growing up in the tribe to know life more deeply, they were directed onto the spiritual path to learn how to expand their connection with nature and investigate the mysteries of life within themselves.
They didn’t need to tear leaves off a tree to dissect them or put them under a microscope to discover the tree’s essence and potential usefulness. They communed with the tree directly and asked for the information to be given.
Not taken.
The difference
Which reminds me of an interview I did with Jeremy Narby, a Canadian anthropologist and Amazonian projects director for the Swiss non-profit Nouvelle Planète,
Narby spent his first year in the Amazon as a Ph.D. student working on his thesis, interviewing shamans about their plant medicine knowledge—knowledge, he was shocked to discover, that was extraordinarily detailed and far-reaching.
How did they know to cook this root and then add that leaf? That berry? And in what proportions? How did they know not to cook this other root, but rather smash it to paste and add these other plants? How did they know to apply this remedy to that kind of wound? And for how long?
To all of his questions the answer was the same: The plants told us. The animal told us. The earth told us. But his scientifically-trained mind balked at that because what they were saying was obviously impossible.
What were they withholding from him? And why? I can’t recall his exact words, but fundamentally what he told me was: “I thought they were speaking metaphorically. I just couldn’t figure out why or what the metaphor was.”
It wasn’t until he went back to Switzerland and was finalizing his thesis that things “clicked.” Studying samples of various Amazonian plants, including the ayahuasca vine, under an electron microscope, he saw something that blew him away.
“I was looking at molecular and atomic structures, particles and DNA. And what I was seeing under the microscope was exactly the same as the drawings and images shamans created after their ayahuasca visions. It was then that I realized the shamans had been honest with me all along. The plants were indeed conveying information to them down to the atomic level, giving them precise information about their healing properties, how to prepare and combine them for various effects.
“I was stunned.”
Dissect, reduce, categorize
Up until the English philosopher, statesman, and author Frances Bacon (1561-1626) came along, much of science was still based in philosophic Aristotelean enquiry. The “why” of a plant was considered just an important as the “what.”
Bacon, aka the Father of Modern Science, proposed a focus on strictly empirical (observable) physical experimentation and shared data collection between researchers so that humanity might finally discover all of nature's secrets and gain control over her at last.
Swiftly, the scientific method took hold as it became endorsed by such masculine-dominated institutions as the Academia del Cimento in Florence, founded in 1657, the foundation of The Royal Society in London in 1663, and the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris in 1667.
The rest of the journey of scientific reductionism and the narrowing of human perception is his-story.
Doctors no longer studied health and the human body as a whole. They focused on particular diseases and specific body parts, picking things apart down to the molecular level. Which garnered tremendous insights and medical advances, while at the same time splintering the medical field into hundreds of specialties and reducing the human body to a machine with various unrelated parts that need constant fixing.
Newtonian mechanics and the laws governing motion made sense of how the world worked mechanically and revolutionized science, reigning supreme for 300 years. But progress marched on and Newton’s assumption that distance, time, and mass are absolute was shattered by Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
The focus of physics then shifted from mechanics to identifying the smallest building blocks from which the Universe is built and understanding the laws that govern them. Massive particle accelerators were built to smash electrons, neutrons and positrons apart looking for the elusive massless point particle and the foundation of our material world.
Meanwhile, billions of gigabytes of infinitely detailed information from research and clinical studies poured relentlessly into the planet’s science databases, where now, like an omnivorous Hydra-headed monster, AI bots scan for the final clues that will tell us how to wrest the last of nature's secrets from her in order to gain supreme control.
Sick emulation
I need to switch gears here for a moment and talk about the nature of the negative interdimensional intelligence that has infiltrated humanity’s consciousness.
These beings are non-physical and have no connection to a living source as we know it. In other words, they actually aren’t alive in any way we comprehend, and depend upon energy from alive beings for fuel. Which is why I say they are parasitic in nature.
They are emotionless and highly binary in their reasoning capacity—which is one of the reasons deep down inside I have a sneaking suspicion that they are related to AI in some sort of bizarre cross-dimensional chicken /egg capacity. (Don’t ask me how … it’s a theory that’s gestating.)
I have described these beings as voracious consumers of life force that want the one thing they cannot have:
Life itself.
They enter us and feed, and experience life through us. But they are consumed, in their logical, binary fashion, with the goal of figuring out how to mechanically and synthetically replicate nature and thus attain form for themselves. Vehicles that match their own deadened entropic vibration.
Is this beginning to ring any vague warning bells?
Why?
Let me ask you something. Why would spirit beings of pure love—you and me—multidimensional spirit beings in bodies who have the capacity to commune and work with the intelligences of life itself in a rich dance of mutual benefit, healthy growth, and infinite evolution EVER need to turn to mechanical FORCE to WREST nature’s secrets from her?
Why would we be obsessed with gaining control over nature and synthetically replicating life … when we already enjoy our aliveness and have the capacity to endlessly explore and experience the mysteries of the multiverse within our own being?
We would not … unless it was to satisfy the relentless urgings of something inhuman inside us that had gained mental control.
Think about that for a moment. Please.
A different way
I’m not dissing science. I’m not suggesting we lumber backwards into some sort of Luddite coma. I’m not saying everybody has to head to the woods to live closer to the earth … although perhaps some regularly scheduled visits wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
I’m saying the intentions and direction of science, as a whole, are vastly suspect. To be blunt, I’m saying the way humanity is going about satisfying its innate curiosity about life, the universe, and everything, has been hijacked by another intelligence with its own deadly agenda in mind.
And, as usual, having exposed something raw, duplicitous and new to my own awareness, I’m sitting here thinking, “Well, that’s great. But what the hell do we do about it?” Because what’s the good of exposing something if you can’t do something with the information except run around in circles shrieking in terror and frustration?
My answer is this:
I’m certain there are many individuals amidst the scientific community in every area of investigation troubled by the way things are going, doing their best to wake the world up. If you know or know of any such people, support them.
If you work in a scientific capacity, look around. Question whether what you’re working on is aiding and abetting this inhuman agenda. If it is, feel your way to what’s appropriate to do about it for yourself.
Start a discussion group. Talk to associates. Open up the conversation however it feels right to do. Change the direction of your experiments. If necessary, quit and find a less negative, damaging job.
Do your best not to align with the anti-life force in your life choices.
If you’re in school, getting a degree with the intention of going into a specific field of scientific study, do the same. Be vocal about inspiring a new path—a new trajectory for science to take.
Advocate for a global convocation to be called to examine what we’re doing, where we’re going, and why.
Do your best to make sure your hard-earned money is spent on products aligned with life and health.
If you’re not in a position to take action with this kind of information, feel into what you know is in support of life and love and health and human wellbeing and gently lay that into the quantum field as your intention for yourself and the rest of the world.
We are vastly powerful beings. Even the smallest movement of consciousness and energy towards healthy curiosity and its expression in all fields of endeavor is of value. And remember: We’re damn good at figuring things out, AND nature is on the side of nature.
Nothing is impossible when we approach things in harmony together.
Much love and aloha ~
