The Next Stage

Mankind has been grinding away on this planet - aimless, confused, irritable, anxious, annoyed, mentally/emotionally/physically dis-eased in one way or another, and many other such negatively-tinged darkly-emotional landscapes that continue to sweep over this entire planet - resulting in the increase in "police states," "military industrial complexes," "extreme radical religious movements," and a general pessimism and malaise that is infecting all of humanity. Couple that with what is today being called simply, "climate change" - though really ought to be termed "calamitously accelerating climate change" - the Present Stage we have here on Earth right now, will conceivably result in the Sixth Extinction on this planet, if not in our life times, then very likely in the life times of our children.

It is now up to the young, everywhere, to rise up and take the reins of the unruly horse (and its even more unruly, usually old, gray, and qualifying for the "nearly dead" rider) that has been running roughshod over humanity for so many decades, even centuries. But will they? Most likely, they WILL NOT, because they are but "clones of their parents," who were but "clones of their parents," who were but "clones of THEIR PARENTS" and so it goes. Sad but true.

So, the Next Stage in our evolution is already set. What will eventually come upon that stage, and present itself to humanity is still quite unknown except to the few - here and there and everywhere - who have somehow caught wind (sound and fury) of the Future impinging upon the Present. This is NOT something that can be shown to one, taught to one, or even hinted at directly, without scaring the "be-jay-eesus" out of the audience, and so it will NOT be attempted here. (You all can do a pretty good job of that for yourselves, or just scour the TV, the RADIO, and the INTERNET.)

"Well, hell, what can I do? 

I'm just one person?"

Well, hell, you could do what you have always done, what your parents have always done, what your grandparents have always done, and theirs before them. AND, what's even worse than that, you could do what everyone else on this planet has been doing for the last fifty years or so... ("What is that?")

A: You could bitch, moan, and complain to everyone you meet (including those sad, sorry "i's" in you that have to listen to it, daily), out in the "real world", and/or on some Internet Website - like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Youtube, Instagram, or some other supposedly suitable venue - where you will instantly find loads and loads of company who agree with you. And we all know, "misery does love company," and if there is none to be found out there, then by all means, MAKE SOME, for "surely, that's what the world needs now," eh?

Or, B: you could look for conspiracies, conspirators, instigators, rabble-rousers, and all those nefarious people and groups you believe (without any real proofs of any kind) are behind all the ills of the world, and then (as computer programmers are fond of saying... "Go back to A."

Or, C: you could begin, in earnest, Looking Around - Seeing and Hearing - the larger forces at work on this planet for the last several hundred (even thousand) years, that have literally made people the way they are today. That is, YOU didn't make yourself - Life did. That is, your parents didn't make themselves - Life did. All the way back, back and back, just the way the Future "dictated" by echoing backwards through time. You see (or not quite yet) the Future is not just a complete unknown (which for most it certainly is that), it is many (uncountable) Futures that are completely unknown, but they all do conform to Physical Laws in this Universe, whatever they happen to be. The Universe is Energy, and there really is no matter anywhere to be found, but the perturbations in that energy at various frequencies, and YOU and your parents, and their parents, and theirs and theirs, etc., are merely temporary results of those perturbations in energy. As our friend once stated so clearly: “What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” – Albert Einstein

You know what is truly interesting, is that EVERYBODY knows this at the level of their core consciousness - it is built into us - but NOBODY knows that they know it, nor HOW to continually realize it. If they could, if humanity could realize this, then whenever you see another person in your mirror, or elsewhere, you would simultaneously realize that there is no separate "me" there, there is only "Real I," everywhere. Racism, and other injustices we continually see all around us, for example - in here, AND out there - would be a thing of the past, and one of the FUTURES would become instantly known to you.

Be thankful to those who came before you who brought you the news from the Future, because without them, you might NEVER have discovered it for yourself. And today, the "Internet/Extranet" - the global electrical grid that both covers the planet with millions of computer nodes in every major city, and surrounds the planet in geostationary orbit: altitude 22,236 mi - is beginning to "realize" something for itself.

First, came the realization by a bunch of rag-tag - quite often previously "stoned," if not also "psychedelicized" programmers - that "The Grid" actually means something (not yet, perhaps, but in some "unknown Future,") and so they invented it, officially, on October 29, 1969... here.

Then, came the realization by a bunch of ordinary citizens all over the globe that "jacking into the Internet/Extranet" was, just about, the most fun a person could have with his clothes on (and, in fact, with clothes off, due to the influence of porn - look it up, you'll see the real history of the growth of the Internet.)

Then, came (will come?) the realization by the Internet/Extranet that all these human brains fondling it 24-7-365 for decades was resulting in something no one person/user actually foresaw or foretold. The Internet/Extranet is becoming "AWARE" in a way that can NOT be quantified - not yet anyway. But you just wait!
