Narcissism

 

Narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an excessive focus on oneself, often at the expense of others, and can range from normal self-confidence to a pathological disorder. It is named after the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection. So narcissism refers to a a lack of empathy for others. Narcissism is so common that it may seem invisible.

Social institutions are systems and structures that organize society and influence how people behave. These include schools, governments, corporations, religious organizations, media systems, and even families. While institutions are meant to support stability and collective well-being, some can develop narcissistic characteristics. A narcissistic institution places its own image, power, status, or survival above the needs of the people it serves. Like a narcissistic individual, such institutions may demand admiration, avoid accountability, manipulate others, and suppress criticism.

One major example is the modern corporate system. Many large corporations prioritize profit and public image over employee welfare or environmental responsibility. Workers may be treated as replaceable resources rather than human beings with needs and dignity. Corporations often use advertising to present themselves as socially responsible while hiding unethical labor practices, pollution, or exploitation. This reflects narcissistic behavior because the institution becomes obsessed with appearance, dominance, and self-preservation instead of genuine social contribution.

Another institution that can become . In some societies, governments focus more on maintaining authority and controlling public perception than serving citizens. Leaders may demand loyalty, silence critics, and create propaganda that glorifies the state or political party. When institutions refuse accountability and portray themselves as always correct, they mirror traits associated with narcissism. Citizens may feel ignored, manipulated, or powerless within such systems.

Social media platforms have also become highly narcissistic institutions in modern life. Platforms encourage users to seek validation through likes, followers, and online attention. The system rewards self-promotion, competition, and image management rather than authenticity or meaningful relationships. Algorithms often amplify sensationalism and vanity because these attract engagement and profit. As a result, social media can shape a culture where appearance and popularity become more important than empathy and community.

Educational institutions may also display narcissistic tendencies. Some schools prioritize rankings, prestige, and standardized test performance over students’ emotional well-being or creativity. Students may feel pressured to achieve high status rather than develop as individuals. Institutions sometimes protect their reputations instead of addressing bullying, discrimination, or mental health problems. In these cases, preserving the institution’s image becomes more important than supporting the people inside it.

Religious organizations can also become narcissistic when leaders place themselves beyond criticism or demand unquestioning obedience. Some institutions manipulate followers through guilt, fear, or promises of superiority. Instead of encouraging spiritual growth and compassion, they may focus on power, control, and protecting their authority. Scandals within religious institutions often reveal how preserving reputation can outweigh justice for victims.

Narcissistic institutions are dangerous because they weaken trust and dehumanize individuals. When institutions prioritize image, power, or profit over people, society becomes more unequal and emotionally disconnected. Individuals within these systems may feel invisible, exploited, or pressured to conform. Healthy institutions should encourage accountability, empathy, transparency, and shared responsibility rather than self-glorification.

Being raised by a parent high in narcissistic traits can create dynamics in your adult life where you now subconsciously seek out partners who mirror similar traits that your parent displayed. When the parent lies and manipulates reality, it can leave the child feeling powerless and confused about what’s true. Passive-aggressive narcissists use indirect hostility and manipulation to control others, often feeling entitled and superior. They may blame others for their failures and use subtle tactics to punish those who don't meet their expectations.

.Blind narcissism refers to a state where individuals are unaware of their narcissistic traits and behaviors, often failing to recognize how their actions affect others. This lack of self-awareness can lead to significant relational issues, as they may not see the warning signs of their manipulative behavior or the emotional harm they cause.

In conclusion, narcissism is not limited to individuals; it can also shape entire social institutions. Corporations, governments, media systems, schools, military and religious organizations can all develop behaviors centered on power, image, and control. Recognizing these patterns is important because societies function best when institutions serve people rather than themselves. By promoting accountability and empathy, communities can resist narcissistic systems and create healthier social structures.

Religion

 

 

 

There has been a collision between technology and religion. Technology has become an integral part of our lives and is increasingly influencing religion by making aspects of ancient religious teachings and practices more accessible.

Many people are walking away from religion and seeking new ways to find meaning, Today, nearly four in ten (39%) young adults (ages 18-29) are religiously unaffiliated—three times the unaffiliated rate (13%) among seniors (ages 65 and older). While previous generations were also more likely to be religiously unaffiliated in their twenties.

"Tech agnosticism" is replacing old fashioned bible studies. Being able to critically analyze almost any topic enhances knowledge and makes relatively easy to challenge forms of thought including philosophy, history, and religion. Artificial intelligence, and quantum computers greatly enhances resistant encryption ancient texts and languages.

This is revolutionizing history and our understanding of ancient myths, stories, scriptures, and religions. For centuries, the Bible has served as both a spiritual guide and a historical record. Yet, many events described within its pages were once thought by some to be legendary or unprovable. In recent decades, however, archaeology has emerged as a powerful tool in bridging the gap between faith and history.

Discovered in the caves near Qumran in the late 1940s, the Dead Sea Scrolls rank among the most significant archaeological finds of the twentieth century. These ancient manuscripts include some of the oldest known copies of the Hebrew Bible, dating back over 2,000 years.

Cuneiform is a logo-syllabic writing system that was used to write several languages of the ancient Near East. The script was in active use from the early Bronze Age until the 1st century BC.

The earliest known Sumerian kings and kingdoms are being named. And Ancient Sumerian texts present intriguing accounts of celestial beings, particularly the Anunnaki, who are often interpreted as extraterrestrial visitors. These seemed to be deities, described with remarkable powers and advanced technology, raise questions about humanity’s early encounters with life beyond Earth.

Paul Anthony Wallace (an internationally bestselling author) brings a unique perspective to the study of extraterrestrial contact through his background as a theological educator. His research into paleo contact—the hypothesis that our ancestors encountered visitors from other civilizations—began with his analysis of biblical translations, where he discovered root meanings that told a different story than conventional interpretations. This work expanded to include indigenous narratives worldwide, revealing consistent patterns of ancient extraterrestrial encounters. He even addresses on The 'Holy Storm of 'Clerical Fascism that murdered millions of people.

Even though scriptures denounces the desire to attain power and control (absolute power corrupts absolutely) the church has been obsessed with a lust for power to the extent of narcissism.

Throughout history, the rise and fall of apparently many civilizations has shaped the course of humanity. While some empires faded gradually, others vanished almost overnight, brought down by war, natural disasters, or internal turmoil. The suddenness of these collapses is both tragic and fascinating.

New ways of relating to belief are emerging, outside (at least in part) of traditional religious institutions. It is a new religious-cultural landscape that some label as post-religion.

The observable universe likely contains between 10 sextillion and 1 septillion stars (written as 10²² to 10²⁴ ). Most of these stars are much older than our sun star. And most stars have planets, and most planets have evolved life forms much older than our earth’s evolution. And our own consciousness is probably barely at a kindergarten level.

Moral Absolutism and Religious Polarity

Moral absolutism is the belief that certain moral principles are universally true, unchanging, and applicable to all people regardless of context, culture, or circumstance. While this framework can provide clarity, stability, and a strong sense of moral direction, it often plays a significant role in intensifying religious polarity. Religious polarity arises when opposing religious beliefs or interpretations become rigidly divided, fostering an “us versus them” mentality that undermines social cohesion and dialogue.

At the heart of many religions is the conviction that moral truth is divinely revealed. For adherents, moral absolutism offers certainty in a complex world and reinforces group identity. Clear moral boundaries can promote ethical behavior, communal solidarity, and personal discipline. However, when these moral claims are treated as exclusively valid and universally binding, they can delegitimize alternative moral systems and religious interpretations. This exclusivity often fuels religious polarity by framing disagreement not as difference, but as moral failure or .

Religious polarity is particularly pronounced when moral absolutism intersects with power and politics. When absolute moral claims are used to justify laws, social norms, or governance, religious beliefs become instruments of authority rather than personal conviction. Groups with differing beliefs may then be perceived as threats to moral order, leading to discrimination, social exclusion, or even violence. Historical examples—from religious wars to contemporary culture conflicts—demonstrate how uncompromising moral frameworks can deepen divisions and escalate conflict.

Psychologically, moral absolutism simplifies moral reasoning by reducing complex ethical questions to binary choices of right and wrong. While this simplicity can be comforting, it also limits empathy and critical reflection. Individuals entrenched in absolute moral positions may struggle to recognize the sincerity or humanity of those who disagree with them. As a result, dialogue becomes difficult, and religious identity hardens into opposition rather than coexistence. This dynamic reinforces polarization, as each side views compromise as betrayal of moral truth.

Nevertheless, moral conviction itself is not inherently destructive. The problem arises when absolutism becomes inflexible and intolerant of pluralism. Many religious traditions contain internal resources—such as humility, compassion, and an emphasis on shared human dignity—that can counteract polarizing tendencies. When moral certainty is balanced with an awareness of human fallibility and contextual understanding, it becomes possible to uphold deep convictions without demonizing others.

In increasingly diverse societies, addressing religious polarity requires reexamining how moral absolutism is expressed rather than abandoning moral commitments altogether. Encouraging religious literacy, interfaith dialogue, and ethical humility can reduce polarization while preserving the moral integrity of belief systems. Ultimately, recognizing that moral conviction and pluralism are not mutually exclusive is essential for fostering peaceful coexistence in a religiously diverse world.

Quantum Meditation

 



Buddhism, Taoism, and Vedanta, which have long recognized the interconnectedness of all things. In Quantum Meditation, the focus expands to include the energy field and the interconnectedness of all beings. It explores the idea that our thoughts and intentions can shape the quantum field and influence our reality.

The universe is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. By attuning our thoughts, emotions, and intentions to higher frequencies, we can raise our own energy and enter a state of resonance with the quantum field. This resonance creates a harmonious exchange of energy, allowing us to tap into the transformative power of the quantum realm. By consciously harnessing and aligning our energy and vibrations during quantum meditation, we can bring about positive shifts in our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Quantum physics is a field of science that studies the behavior of subatomic particles and their interactions. It challenges our classical understanding of reality, revealing that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously and that observation can alter their behavior.

So the link between quantum physics and meditation lies in their shared focus on consciousness and the interconnectedness of all things. Our thoughts and intentions have the power to influence the quantum field, thereby shaping our experiences and reality.

Consciousness arises from the interaction of quantum processes within the brain. So our thoughts, intentions, and perception of reality are intricately connected to the quantum world. According to this theory, consciousness is not limited to the brain but is a fundamental property of the universe.

Our thoughts and intentions are not just abstract mental phenomena but have the potential to influence the quantum field. By cultivating focused and intentional thoughts during meditation, we can create coherent patterns of energy that resonate with our desires and aspirations. This interaction between the mind and quantum energy allows us to tap into the creative potential of the universe and manifest positive changes in our lives.

 By aligning our thoughts, intentions, and consciousness with the quantum field, we can cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace, expanded awareness, and enhanced resilience. Quantum meditation enables us to tap into the limitless potential of the universe, leading to personal growth, emotional healing, and a greater sense of connectedness to ourselves and the world around us.

 By practicing mindfulness, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present moment. This heightened awareness fosters a greater sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the ability to live with intention and purpose. Quantum meditation opens the doorway to deeper levels of consciousness, allowing individuals to explore the interconnectedness of all things and experience a sense of unity and oneness.

By harmonizing our energy with the quantum field, we can tap into the unlimited possibilities and potentialities of the universe.

What Is Consciousness




The stress of a great paradigm change is upon us.  It seems that our understanding of even the basic nature of reality is undergoing considerable change. The way we choose to deal with this will likely affect our future in the most essential ways.

For those of us you have outlived friends and family our attention tends to shift to spirits and the spiritual. And until quite recently that generally involved rather stern kingly figure and his servants and vassals. There were lots of rules and not much forgiveness which landed us in need of being saved. But recently the idea of the spiritual realm has undergone some interesting changes. For some the spiritual world has shifted to the totemic and even to the plants and animals.

   " A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all... those who do nothing are inviting shame, as well as violence."  -  - John F. Kennedy

And with the discovery of quantum physics our perception of the non-human realm has undergone considerable change. Even scientists have a renewed interest in non-physical realms. So the nature of our borders is rapidly changing to include artificial intelligence and even extraterrestrials. Increasingly we seem to be obsessed with fantasy figures, celebrity, addictions and dystopia - accelerated by the pandemic. We seem to be obsessed with fantasy. Fantasy is often associated with the future and in some ways, the past.

"Obsession fills us up, and what a relief that feeling is (especially if we felt empty before). But even if we didn't feel empty, obsession makes us feel potent, capable, and purposeful. But also like all addictions, with time obsession unbalances us. We often begin to neglect parts of our lives we shouldn't.
 
During the past decade or so, mindfulness and meditation has become remarkably popular and seems to be everywhere! It is taught in preschools, elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, health clinics, health spas, posh hotels, most companies, and just about any organization that you can name. And some large companies, such as Aetna, even have a Chief Mindfulness Officer.

Mindfulness does help with the stress of  negative family patternsas well as the ups and downs of human emotions; to heal wounds of the body, mind, and heart; and finally shake off the karmic chains of the past. However humanity is undergoing many radical changes on all levels; physically, mentally, and spiritually - a shift to higher consciousness .
 
The dimensions available to us on Earth are referred to as 3D, 4D and 5D. Firstly, know that YOU exist in multi-dimensions all at once. Your mind is often out on the higher dimensions travelling and being inspired, especially when you’re thinking, intuiting and using your imagination - i.e. daydreaming. At the heart level (soul - which is the infinite you) you’re always on the higher dimensional platforms, directing your life via your inner feelings and intuition.

The 5th spiritual dimension is that we use to describe a state of higher consciousness and expanded awareness. 5 refers to the stage or level of consciousness and D in this context is referring to a spiritual dimension, a level of understanding and awareness or The Awakened Way.

You are not only human.You are part of one big web connecting all that is.  The creative and healing force of the universe is Love. When you live The Awakened Way, you come to know that you are already whole and complete at the level of the soul. The more you allow your True Nature to shine through your human role, the more you fulfill your purpose and experience peace, love, and Joy moment by moment.

Despite appearances, you are not an independent being, but the interdependent manifestation of a shared Consciousness that is infinitely intelligent, creative, and self-aware.  As such, you do not operate apart from other, but as a direct part of a Power far greater than yourself.

Apparently everything is energy in vibration and there are various frequencies or layers much like octives in music. or the color spectrum in light. Another way to look at it is the radio and television broadcasts.  You can choose which signal you want or you may turn it off. The signal is still there whether you're tuned in or not. On the Internet you choose your favorites and save them so they're just a click away. We learn what we want and what we don't want. We also choose our own vibes -happy/sad; aggressive/passive; caring and kind or indifferent.

We've come to understand that there are other stars galaxies and maybe even other universes. We're also being told that we have many lifetimes on many levels and that we can be reincarnated back to earth or one of an almost infinite number of other places to be. And apparently there are physical planes as well as planes that are non-physical. And we've recently learned that apparently everything we see on this plane of existence is not real in the way we had believe it to be. We just happened to be biologically tuned in to this level.

It seems more and more likely that extraterrestrials have been here for a very long time. And they may be shape shifters. One could be standing very near where we are without our even knowing it. We're being told that some of these have volunteered to be spirit guides to help us poor humans to navigate reality in a better way.

Some believe that the ancient gods were extraterrestrials. Their technology was millions of years ahead of our own in ways that we couldn't even comprehend. This seems to be an extension of the early personification of the forces of nature by early shamans. Earth air fire water and sky all head characteristics and energies that we, in our ignorance, could only seek to placate.

Basically, the guru is a spiritual teacher leading the disciple on the path of "god-realization." it turns out that there is only one thing in the universe and that one thing is everything some call it God, and some say that there's nothing but God or nothing that isn't God.

Polarities

 



Polarity is central to the human condition. To us reality is polar. And polarities is just a part of the natural order of things  (yes/no,  up/down,  left/right, on/off, hot/cold, true/false, good/ bad, light/dark). These patterns help us understand our reality. Without shadows even vision would have no details

It has long been understood that any value, quality, or attribute exists in relation to its opposite. So, “up” has meaning in relation to “down”, and “dry” has meaning in relation to “wet”, and so on. The ancient symbol of the Yin/Yang visually depicts a “whole” which is composed of the joining of opposites. There are two sides to everything.

However, nothing around you is as it seems. Nothing exists until we percieve it — at least according to physics. In 2022, Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that upended one of our most fundamental beliefs: the universe is not locally real. All matter is purely energy in vibration.

The Fourth Hermetic Principle  (the Principle of Polarity)  embodies the truth that all manifested things have "two sides"; "two aspects"; "two poles"; a "pair of opposites," with manifold degrees between the two extremes.  It is all a matter of higher or lower vibrations.

Heat and Cold are identical in nature, the differences being merely a matter of degrees. There is no place on the thermometer where heat ceases and cold begins. The very terms "high" and "low," which we are compelled to use, are but poles of the same thing — the terms are relative. So with "East and West" — travel around the world in an eastward direction, and you reach a point which is called west at your starting point, and you return from that westward point. Travel far enough North, and you will find yourself traveling South, or vice versa.

So polarities simply demark boundaries of interdependent pairs that constitute the basic structure of being. Paradox is both the primal and the final truth. Life, whether we approve of it or not, is like that. Things are dual and so is man's nature a pairing of negative and positive.

Polarities need each other and are interdependent. Polarities are all about managing relationships. Duality is a fact, and is a governing factor of the world and everything within it including ourselves. But the higher truths are embedded in pairs of things as nonduality.

When “either‐or” answers aren’t clear, the choices may actually be polarities. Once you understand the concept of polarities and you begin to see interconnected pairs you are able to use these insights to clarify and address important issues, to make better decisions and to take more decisive action.

We get into trouble when we try to define ourselves or others rigidly with one polarity to the complete exclusion of the other. In doing this, we restrict our range of possibility, and we actually empower the opposite polarity. The cognitive processes is multiple polarities which are at play at the same time, and they interact to make things even more complicated. Rarely do you operate at either extreme end of any pair.

The basic animal motivations (including humans) are approach and avoidance. The brain has two halves correspondng to logic and emotion. The mind seeks to simplify experiences in order to make sense of them. Brain processes rely on habitual thinking to save on time and energy.

There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves.

If you view all problems as opportunities, and then you think about ways to improve a process, then I think you find opportunity is absolutely everywhere. According to the Law of Attraction you attract more of whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether negative or positive. People who radiate positivity tend to attract people with the same level of energy and drive.

We assume that there is a separation between self and others but here again it is a question of degree. Several monistic philosophies exist that differ in how it is that all is one, the Universal One. There is but one source, and so we can refer to it as Source, All That Is, God, Allah, whatever name you wish to use. Religion has always been an integral aspect of the human condition. Several philosophies describe a kind of "oneness" behind ordinary reality.

Dualists in the philosophy of mind emphasize the radical difference between mind and matter. They all deny that the mind is the same as the brain, and some deny that the mind is wholly a product of the brain. Moral dualism refers to the opposition of good and evil in the mind of mankind. The Christian view that this is a good world that has gone wrong, but still retains the memory of what it ought to have been.

In the modern world “dualism” most often refers to “mind-body dualism,” or the idea that the mind is separate from the body. Some say this is pathological dualism  that is destructive, crippling —because you cannot be two things that are radically opposed. In Judaism and most Christianity there is a strict and vengeful God, while Buddhist and Hindu philosophies, reject the narrow monism and dualism of the Western tradition. Gregg Braden and others claim humans have been genetically altered to be more obedient.

The New Age  movement, movement spread through the occult and metaphysical religious communities in the 1970s and ʾ80s. It looked forward to a "New Age" of love and light and offered a foretaste of the coming era through personal transformation and healing. This New Age often involves a belief in a universal, spiritual energy influencing all aspects of life, guiding and connecting everything with "oneness."


Our brains don’t exist in isolation – they’re constantly bathed in electromagnetic fields from our environment. From the Earth’s natural magnetic field to the artificial fields generated by our electronic devices and energies of the sun and planets.

There is much talk about the earth having an upgrade at the molecular level, of higher rates of vibration at the physical level. And that humans are expericing  a corresponding vibrational boost from 3D to 5D consciousness which is activating or awakening dormant spiritual possibilities. This is apparently partially due to solar flairs

The Great Shift

 


 

 So much information is suddenly available that our usual habit of analyzing our individual topics must instead yield to simple links. 

There seems to be a general understanding that these are no ordinary times. For example there is the end of a 26,000 year cycle known as the Precession of the Equinoxes. A Great  Shift has already begun and humanity will never be the same.

There are a billion trillion stars in the known universe and most of these stars are older than our sun and most have life forms that may have evolved for billions of years, while humans on earth may have evolved for about 10 thousand years.

Paul’s Books

THE EDEN CONSPIRACY: What were our world’s ancestral narratives before they became viewed as fiction or fable? What was the Bible before it became a book about God? Who made these changes, and with what agenda? And what does any of this have to do with ETs?

THE SCARS OF EDEN travels the world to hear from ancestral voices, experiencers and world-renowned researchers. US Navy, The Pentagon, French and Israeli Intelligence reveal the impact of contact in the deep past on our lived experience today. But how has all that become confused with the idea of God?

ECHOES OF EDEN
U.S. Senate briefings, secret ceremonies in Africa, strange phenomena in Australia, Iraq, Brazil and ancient Greece…A global journey to discover why military, intelligence and government agencies are so interested in archaeology, and indigenous initiation. How does this connect with an E.T. presence on Earth, and what are the implications for you and me?

THE INVASION OF EDEN

Extraterrestrial Spirituality

 


The idea of Worshiping Virtues or the Personification of the divine probably comes from Ancient Greece poetry of Homer and Hesiod which is thronged with personifications. Such mythological personifications became an abstract cult that believes diety is pleased or displeased by human doings.

Also divine vengeance is liberally sprinkled throughout Ancient Greek mythology. The Greek gods often come across as vindictive lot who do horrible things to mortals and to each other, with little sense of proportionality between trespass and its horrific punishment. They might torment a pregnant woman out of jealousy, or condemn somebody who accidentally saw them naked to get eaten by dogs. There are many  stories from Ancient Greek lore about divine vengeance that have been used to gain power through subjugation tactics.

The earth is perhaps the greatest experimental laboratory for life forms. Putting a finger on a hot stove is a learning experience that does not alter divinity in any way. But trashing the lab (earth) is not without human consequences. The earth is much more durable and divine than all of human dreams or endeavors and has endured various calamities and even extinction events.

Science has only recently discovered that there is no time or space. Eternal reality vastly transcends all human drama. Apparently there are a great many other planets and planes of spiritual consciousness that considerably exceed our paltry psychology and religion. Our concept of them was humanized so that we thought of them as elementals, angels, naure spirits, elves, fairies, etc.

We are beginning to learn from some as extraterrestrials or "aliens." According to the beliefs of certain New Age movements, Arcturians are an example of very advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. The beings from the Arcturus star system apparently wish to share their knowledge and wisdom with the citizens of Earth. They are described as other-dimensional, highly advanced star beings. Arcturians are said to be loving and peaceful and are willing to communicate and work with any soul that wishes to travel with them to a higher level of consciousness.

Currently, they would guard the Earth, help healing the planet and raise its vibrational energy. Emotional, mental, physical and spiritual transformation would be among their primary goals. Arcturians would regularly incarnate on Earth and would have been involved in Earth's evolution. In addition to the Arcturian community, there are said to be similar communities on Sirius, Andromeda, Orion, and the Pleiades, Lyra and Antares.

But the knowledge of this came not from the earthly spiritual community but rather from UFology. Our solar system is comparatively young. And human technology is 200 or 300 years old while ET technology is thousands or even millions of years old, and also probably is their spirituality. For example when you use Telepathy you can be on separate sides of the universe on still carry on conversations.

It is important to know that the word Elohim is plural amd refers to Gods, not a singular God. According  to Paul Wallis and others the Jewish religion was not monotheistic until Jerimiah became king. The idea of a spiritual Trinity more nearly became a form of tyranny. A tyrant (from Ancient Greek τύραννος (túrannos) 'absolute ruler'), in the modern English usage of the word, is an absolute ruler who is unrestrained by law, or one who has usurped a legitimate ruler's sovereignty.

"We tend to consider speculation about extraterrestrials to be a recent phenomenon, a task forced on us by the scientific knowledge we have gained during the last century. Its rather surprising, perhaps, to find out that the debate about whether there is extraterrestrial life stretches back just shy of two and a half millennia."  -CERC

The Vatican’s Secret Archives are the stuff of historical legend—but their existence is absolutely real. Fifty-three miles of shelving. Thirty-five thousand volumes of catalogue. Twelve centuries worth of documents hidden under lock and key. Housed in one of the most iconic bastions of religion and culture ever.

However the association of  cosmological extraterrestrials with spirituality comes mostly from Ufology. Dr. Steven Greer explores how the consciousness field manifests the physical body, not the other way around. He tells us that concepts interacting at the speed of thought, not through technology, is the form of communication of the future. And why humanity needs to understand the science of consciousness in order to reach the stars and connect with beings from higher realms. Dr.Greer had a Near Death Experience and is initiating respect and peaceful contact with interstellar civilizations.

"As there is one God which manifests one creation, so there is one God which is the source of all conscious beings, whether on earth or elsewhere. The great Universal Intelligence has sent a ray of this light of consciousness throughout all conscious beings, and we are united to God and to one another through its subtle and all-pervading effect. It is for these reasons that I state that the reality of man and the reality of other extraterrestrial peoples are one. Viewed with the eye of differences, we are diverse and unrelated, but viewed with the eye of oneness, we are more alike than dissimilar, more kindred than alien. And so it is that we must look to our inner reality to find not only our oneness with our fellow humans, but our oneness with other intelligent life in the universe as well. While ephemeral differences may confound us, our essential oneness in consciousness will never fail us. For there is one universe inhabited by one people, and we are they."

Jude Currivan




Dr Jude Currivan is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist and author. She has a Masters Degree in Physics from Oxford University specializing in quantum physics and cosmology, and a PhD in Archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK.Her international corporate career culminated in the mid-1990s in her being the Group Finance Director of two major international listed companies and one of the most senior business women in the UK. She then chose to move on to pursue a calling to serve the emergence of a global shift of awareness.
Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Currivan shows that mind and consciousness are not what we possess but what we and the whole world fundamentally are. She reveals our Universe as “a great thought of cosmic mind,” manifesting as a cosmic hologram of meaningful in-formation that, vitally, exists to evolve.

The author details the 13.8 billion-year story of our Universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Sharing scientific breakthroughs, and showing how the Universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing “big breath,” she shares the latest evidence for the innate sentience that has guided our universal journey from simplicity to ever-greater complexity, diversity, and self-awareness--from protons to planets, plants, and people. She explains how evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided.

In Gaia, the Universe’s evolutionary impulse is embodied in collaborative relationships and dynamic co-evolutionary partnerships on a planetary scale and as a wholistic gaiasphere. She reveals how the conscious evolution of humanity is an integral part of Gaia’s own evolutionary progress and purpose. By perceiving and experiencing our planet as a sentient being and ourselves as Gaians, we open ourselves to a deeply ecological, evolutionary, and, above all, hopeful worldview.

For the last nearly twenty years she has traveled around the world in service to planetary and collective healing and raising collective awareness, some of which is described in her various books.

In summary, with remarkable sincerity, dignity, and love, Dr. Jude Currivan:
  • Examines our emergence as self-aware members of a Universe that is itself a unified and innately sentient entity that exists TO evolve
  • Shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being--Gaia
  • Rewrites evolution as not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by intelligently informed and meaningful information flows and processes

Reality and Illusion

 






Your eyes and ears don’t tell you the truth. That’s not what they’re for. The senses evolved to enable us to survive in the world, not to represent it accurately. The reality that we experience each and every day is what we must use to survive in our environment.

Our understanding of reality has changed over time. From the scholars of ancient Greece to the modern physicists of today,  there have been changes and breakthroughs about the way we view the world. Beginning with Anaximander’s discovery of the Earth floating in the sky and Democritus’ discovery ot the atom. There is now a twentieth-century paradox in modern physics.

We think of the atom as an organized group of electrons and protons zooming around a neutron, but this figure is completely wrong. The particles that make up the atoms have no structure or size, no weight

Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. How can it be possible that the world we see is not objective reality? And how can our senses be useful if they are not communicating the truth? Hoffman grapples with these questions and more over the course of this eye-opening work.

Ever since Homo sapiens has walked the earth, natural selection has favored perception that hides the truth and guides us toward useful action, shaping our senses to keep us alive and reproducing. We observe a speeding car and do not walk in front of it; we see mold growing on bread and do not eat it. These impressions, though, are not objective reality. Just like a file icon on a desktop screen is a useful symbol rather than a genuine representation of what a computer file looks like, the objects we see every day are merely icons, allowing us to navigate the world safely and with ease.

Human beings we are conditioned to hold onto culture, beliefs, tradition and politics even at the expense of our well being. Without knowing it, we live and express these distorted ideas, practices and patterns that influence our perceptions of reality and in turn create our reality.

Emotional reality, unlike physical reality, is created rather than observed. By and large, people create the emotional reality in which they live. Unfortunately the choice of which reality we create is usually made by default, a kind of habitual automatic pilot derived from temperament, metabolism, and experience. The human brain filters information within its default choices, processing that which conforms to them and excluding that which deviates from them.

Beliefs inherited from family or tribe influence people's actions more strongly than those with weaker genetic bases. Indeed, highly heritable attitudes, such as political persuasions, may even steer our choices of the social "niches" we carve out for ourselves. If challenged we my not have reasons to justify inherited beliefs because to us it is a given that they are the truth.

People simply believe that they are right in their own ideologies and cannot accept the ideologies of others which causes conflict. People's political beliefs actively demand of them that they ostracize those who do not fit with the party's agenda.




The earth is about 4.5 billion years old but you really can't think of that because it's too it's too big so let's put it in terms of a calendar year

If we look at human evolution as a one year period of time:

If life on earth the 4.5 billion was scrunched into a calendar year then:

  • Approximately February or June the earth would start solidifying.

  • Maybe by March the oceans would start to form.

  • That is nearly halfway through the year.

  • The first cells are thought to have formed maybe in August.

  • The oldest fossil records reveal that the first life forms happened around November.

  • Plants on land begin about November 30.

  • Dinosaurs had their day in mid-December.

  • After the extinction of the dinosaurs, mammals began to emerge as the dominant species around the 26th of December.

  • The last week of the year there was an explosion of animal forms - over 6500 different species emerged.

  • The age of humans was not until the last day of the year. Pre-humans appeared about 10:30 on the 365th day of the year.

  • Homo Sapiens didn't appear until about 11:35 PM (only 25 minutes left in the year).

  • The Mesopotamian civilizations began about 5 minutes before the end of the year.

  • The pyramids in Egypt were 2 minutes before the end of the year.

  • The Great Roman Republic was 50 seconds before midnight.

  • The United States has been around for about 5 seconds.
