ON BEING SELF - AWARE

Thom Hartman said on Friday that the Internet as we know it may be already becoming "self-aware". That is, it's a system that has or will develop an virtual Ego. How can this be? This is when an organization begins to think independently and come up with its own solutions to problems, which wasn't prompted by any human being. The internet may be learning to fill in gaps in its own knowledge and be actually learning how to think better, just as we human beings want to do. We all know about how HAL the computer developed an Ego and became a problem. But I happened to think that one inanimate object I would like to see develop an Ego is the US Constitution. They call it a "Living Document" but it isn't really. But still I would like to seem some generalized awareness that the US Constitution is in grave jeopardy from the various Imperial presidencies we've had over the past forty years. Some have suggested we scrap the thing and call a new Constitutional Convention and re-write the entire document. But in my humble oppinion this is the worst thing we in America could do. Because you know the first things to go will be the civil rights of the individual and increased specified powers of the executive branch, which won't have to be "implied" any more. Some people say that when a message needs to be gotten out, God sees the need and empowers people and even dumb animals to powers of speech they formerly didn't have. In the Bible God caused even a jackass to speak, out of a need to get a message out that wasn't being said. Let us hope that the average American citizen today at least has the self-awareness of a jackass. (Selah)

There are two major improvements in use of computers in the past few days. Google now has a "show options" button by which you can process your search results into a form that may be more relavant to you. They have that wonder wheel, which branches out derivitive topics from your original imput topic to the search engine. Also in the news just this weekend of a public release of "Mathematica" or the search engine now called Wolframalpha.com. This engine can do complex algebraic formulas and graft them with ease. It will give you a full financial profile on a corporation or two corporations, at the drop of a hat. There are various tutorials on the most productive ways to use "Mathematica" people should view. What you realize is that the world of number analysis is more complex than you can imagine.

I would like to address readers who are now only reading the first sentenses of paragraphs in blogs to see if they want to read the rest of it. I congradulate you on your efficiency. But I'd like to not at this time go along with suggestions that I stick to one topic. A lot of times topics are related in tangiential ways that deserve to be connected and related to each other. Were I to separate all my blogs into discrete topics, it would be a probject too massive to handle.

I am alarmed that people like John and Ken and a host of others are suggesting stridently that the people of California vote down all the propositions in this coming election on Tuesday that the government wants past. People who revolt and say "no more taxes" just aren't thinking straight. That's what the Proposition 13 people did over thirty years ago and we are still feeling the adverse effects today. We don't want government gutted. That's what Ronald Reagan did forty years ago and we are still feeling the effects. This economy will not be in a slump forever, and right now we should plan for the future, for a better tomorrow.

Yesterday I watched a video which tied a lot of loose ends up for me as far as this notion of once we had a civilization that was more advanced than anything history suggests. People who look at the pyramids of Egypt will observe that the first three are of much higher quality and workmanship than any pyramid since, even though this is contrary to the old axion of "newer is always better". Some say that the positioning of the three pyramids are the position of the belt of Orion in the heavens, not now, but as of 13,000 AD. Also the Sphinx is said to be incredibly ancient. The erosion on the Sphinx is suggestive of not wind damage but water damage, and lots of it. Which leads me to my point. There was a massive devistation of Planet earth in 13,000 BC during of "The Age of Leo". Gene Scott once suggested that the face on the Sphinx was originally of a woman and not a lion. Astronomers point out that in 13,000 BC we were on the verge of leaving the age of Virgo and entering the Age of Leo. Either one makes sense. So what happened 13,000 years ago? A comet hit. The Mayans have spoken of five major world disasters brought about by "surpents". Comets and asteroids are like surpents. The writings of the Egyptians and Babylonians and Hebrews were all shown to use similar astrological and astronomic imigry. 13,000 years ago a giant asteroid called the resumption of the ice age. First of all what it did was to break up an ice glacure dam in the Great Basin of North America, known then as the great inland sea. There were formations that, like the Sphinx, were wiped out, and the verdict is water erosion, and lots of it, rather than wind erosion. It is believed that Earth was an interesting place then because all of the wolly mammoths were still around. The whackos are right. It was an asteroid that killed them rather than just the ice age. The comet caused a massive redistrubution of the land surfaces and many high civilizations went either water, or under sand. You've heard of the Biminy stones in the Bahamas region. In Southeast Asia there are likewise under-water civilizations that have been inundated with water. The Great Pyramid doesn't have the usual Egyptian hierogliphics on it. The writing this ancient civilization used was different, as I have alluded to about the ruins on Reigel VII. Later on civilization reasserted itself. One of the chief objects of worship in civilizations of the Third Melinium BC was the Bull. Taurus the Bull. The chief god of the Babylonians was called Marduch, the Bull. Another hero of Egypt was the figure of Orion, who is said to be related to Osirus, God of the Underworld. The hunter was seen as the greatest of them all. Then we move on to the age of Aries the Ram, and so the Hebrews are hung up on the worship of the Ram and lambs. The Mayans have stated that there were five major devestations of the world. We know of the asteroid that killed the dinasaurs 65 Million years ago. The devistation of 13,000 BC may be a more major one because man may have been in a state of high civilization at that time. Of course the bottom line is what will happen on December 21st. 2012? This is the date that the Mayans say will usher in a period of judgement much as the advent of Cortez in 1521 ushered in a period of judgement. We too could be powerless to cope should space aliens land here from god knows where. Perhaps we can learn from the Aztechs. They were ruled by fear and allowed chaos to take over. Perhaps if we are more unified as a planet, we will fare better.

Today they played that original version of Revolution I on KRTH. This is the version that John Lennon wanted out as a single. To me it would only be fitting. This version is long and slower and goes on for seven or eight minutes and "morphs" into "Revolution 9". This recording just like "Good-Bye, My Love" "Cosmically Conscious" "One of Nature's Children" and "Sour Milk Sea" are Beatle songs not included on the Anthology but should be. I have no idea why they were omitted. John Lennon refers to the White Album as being the album where the Beatles fell apart. He didn't mention Abbey Road. If you believe our material, the fake John Lennon was back in evidence and wrote most of the "John Lennon" songs on Abbey Road. All of the Beatles have stated in one way or another that keeping the group together was like trying to preserve a corpse. All of the life had gone out of the group, and the public announcement was only a recognition that the group was already dead. You know, John Lennon wrote "There's nothing you can do that can't be done". If we state this another way we get "You can't do anything unless it's actually Possible to do". Joel Olsteen made a good speech talking about how Jesus will raise the dead but it's our job to "Roll Away the Stone". We do what we can do before Jesus does what only he can do. As pleasing as this sounds, in my life it just hasn't worked out that way as far as Christianity has been concerned. It was a wise man who said "Facts are grim things, and you ignore then at your peril". (Selah)
