For years I have been talking about change that will sweep over us as I see the various human and natural systems respond to chaotic energies. For more than a couple of centuries humanity has been living in a dystopian system that was pushed as normal. Have you ever seen a loose thread on a garment and pulled it only to realize that it was not a small loose thread but the start of a whole seam. Having started the pull you realize that the garment is about to fall apart. While it might seem catastrophic it is only a seam exposing a weakness in the garment. It can be easily repaired. But in doing that repair, we can also change the design itself. That is also true for our world. I have been following many different ways of thinking and that includes changes occurring within the science community as well.
World events this week are like that loose thread. What is unraveling is the illusion that we have considered ‘normal’ for far too long. Regular readers of this blog will know that I dream of a sustainable world where technology and the economy work for us and not for the hierarchy. I’ve seen everything become so centralized and hyper-consumer based. While that has some novelty appeal, the hectic and chaotic aspects of modern consumer-living have started to feel overwhelming by so many people around the world. There are a lot of new science findings and discoveries, but unless they fit with the dogmas of existing science across the board (scientism at work again) you are unlikely to hear much about them, and almost certainly not in depth in the mainstream media.
I like living in our modern world with all its potential, but I also see its failings as it is currently constructed. I love being able to travel freely and to explore new places, as well as live in a quite semi-rural neighborhood where wildlife wanders freely through my garden obviously feeling safe. It has it’s drawbacks. In the USA, outside of the large urban centers, public transport is either inconvenient or not available. I saw this online the other week and I like it: “I don’t want self-driving cars. I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don’t need to check a schedule. I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it’s preferable to suffering airports. I want cities that aren’t built around cars-as-default.” I’ve heard so many Europeans complain about their public transport, but compared to the U.S. it is great. It’s like saying that you want more money in order to be happier with more well-being, when the focus could be, how could I be much happier with great well-being such that the money is irrelevant.
How society is structured around technology is a matter of planning and thinking wisely outside the box. How humanity is structured in itself is truly the big change coming. While I have hoped for decades that we would somehow find a spiritually framed path where we connect with each other and the natural world, events of the last five years have awakened many to searching for what makes life better and not as it was, simply surviving in a rat-race world. I find it exciting to see people recognize the illusions we have been struggling with, that that the hierarchies give us that no longer make sense. Look at the linked Penrose Triangle picture. Even though it seems 3D, you know that it is impossible, but somehow your brain keeps seeing something logical despite knowing that it is a 2D illusion. That metaphorically is how our world is currently structured. We know it is all an illusion perpetrated by the elites to keep us in line, but we can’t seem to say no to them and empower ourselves to live more sensibly!
The hierarchy has kept us subjugated in their pyramidal illusion of power and control for far too long. We have been limited and fearful, thinking that we need them, but as I have often said, “they need us, we don’t need them.” When we rise to our spiritual-selves we will find life completely different, and with creativity given free reign new technologies will emerge. It can be likened to the novel/movie ‘Flatland (see movie trailer).’ When we simply accept the power of Love and Compassion as guiding themes, all the hate, fear and everything that psychologically limits us falls away. It’s like finding another dimension to function within.
We readily adopt the ‘myth of the Alpha male’ (see links 1 and 2) at all levels of society, never questioning that this is a myth that has kept us subjugated for millennia. This myth is so pervasive that all modern superhero stories and even ancient sagas use it to push the idea of the paternalistic testosterone driven savior as natural. I love seeing pictures of indigenous men. Contrary to the Hollywood images of the chiefs looking more like ‘Atlas’ or ‘Conan the Barbarian’ they just look like regular B-male guys. Instead of power being invested in testosterone, these indigenous men are admired for their wisdom and compassion in working as collaborators within a societal system that is both androgenous and equitable.
This is called the information age and for good reason; we spend most of our time within our brain and minds with fixed beliefs about how the world runs. I talk about Love and Compassion, and curiously, science is showing that these emotions are actually the dominant aspects of life – not hate and fear. The heart that we always refer to when we talk about love is actually a much more important organ than being a simply pump to send blood around the lungs and body. There is a bunch of neurons located within the heart now nicknamed the heart-brain (see links 3 and 4). I tried to talk about this with a cardio-researcher friend of mine and he had a problem trying to accept that the heart had more about it than simply being a mechanistic pump. If you need a scientific reason to be heartfelt, then using the heart-brain is a good way to consider it.
Biochemically and electromagnetically the heart appears to control more in the body and with emotions than the brain does. The brain it seems is a brilliant processor, but the heart is the ‘seat of our true soul.’ So, living in a ‘Heart-felt’ way it seems may not only be good for society, but also be better for our overall health both physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Electromagnetically for instance, the brain with all its high-level electrical energy emits an electromagnetic field (EMF) out about a foot (31cm) from the head. By contrast, the heart has an EMF that can be measured over 6 feet (2 meters) out from the body, and that is only because of the limitation of our ability to measure it further.
Mystics and yoga’s have been telling us forever that ‘we are all one’ and with the heart now being shown to emit a toroidal EM field suggests that we as individuals naturally tap into deeper energy connection, when we bother to notice it. Much of today’s post has been an overview of what might be termed esoteric science, but we are now showing scientifically through rigorous science how it all may be working. And I haven’t even started on technologies we’ve gained from DARPA projects, such as the internet as one we all know about. This quaint notion that science is a conglomerate of different disciplines working in isolation from each other has to be the first idea to lose. While reductionist study has its good points, nothing in the natural world, or us for that matter, exists in isolation.
So, for anyone worried that we are headed into the dark-ages, the future will be technological and comfortable, BUT it will require that we rethink almost everything about what it means to be human and how the universe is structured if we are to thrive rather than simply exist.
