Cy,
I understand why you are having trouble understanding the BPWH. Yes, there are some profound differences between the BPWH and the Modern worldview, which has become so focused upon Growth & Progress.
I do hope that you understand that there are limits to growth within any finite domain, and that is why you are interested in ufology, because you, like JFK, imagine that the Stars are our New Frontier.
This is all that humanity has ever known...... growth and progress, how can we be expected to imagine anything else? How might even the cosmic mind expect anything else from us?
But then, Cy, perhaps you can understand our situation from the point of view of Mother Earth, or Gaia.......
Are we a cancer, or are we a Chrysalis with respect to Earth? Are we experiencing death throes, or are we experiencing birth pangs?
This is the ultimate existential question that is now confronting us, Cy. This is not a can that we can just keep kicking down the road.
You rightly demand to know why God, or whomever, would have tricked us into what now appears to be a Bait & Switch operation? Just when it appears that Growth & Progress are meant to be Eternal, God goes and pulls that rug out from under us. Isn't that a truly mean, even a cruel trick to play upon us? Well, it does seem to be falling to me to attempt an apologia. Lucky me, huh?
Let's try to be frank about our differences, Cy. You are a Pagan, and I am not. You pagans are very independent minded. And I hasten to point out that God would not have made so many of you, if She didn't love you....... somewhat the way she loves the rest of us...... sinners, if you will!
Well, this was not the only trick that God has played on us. She also played the Father trick...... We, faithful ones, were only ever supposed to follow the written commands of the Father, so that we would be assured our seat in the angel choir. That, too, it turns out, was a vast oversimplification. But, hey, it did, almost miraculously, as it now seems, get us all the way to this crucial juncture in our history, this final jumping-off point......
Are we now ready to meet our Maker, Cy?
Well, to paraphrase Pogo, we have already met or Maker, and it is Us. This is not an easy message for me to sell, now is it? But here it is, staring us right in the face.
Do I need to explain myself? It would seem that I do have a lot of 'splainin' to do......! This was the reason for my recent visit to Jack Sarfatti, my not so old mentor. After all, he wrote the book, Space, Time and Beyond, way back in 1975.
'We' pagans, if you will allow me this literary ellipsis, like to think of 'ourselves' as orphans, lost in space. And so we have been. And so we were meant to believe.
How can it possibly be otherwise, say we moderns! Well, Cy, will you agree with me that there has always been, throughout human history, just a nagging suspicion that maybe there is more than meets the eye..... 'there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.'
As ufologists, we ought to have an excellent grasp upon the notion of there being something more. Yes?
Just in terms of standard ufology, the entire question before us, boils down to the one issue of the ETH v. the UTH. Will you agree, Cy, that this may be a crucial question?
Now I have to run out for an errand and lunch.........
12:40--------
In the End, yes, it will all come down to this one simple question..... ET v. UT?
As ufology has progressed over the years, more of us have become open, at least, to the possibility of UT's, but, yes, we do remain reluctant to give up our blue-sky dreams of ET's, and of perpetual growth and progress, which do seem to go hand in hand.
But, of course, individually, we are going be facing Eternity, sooner, rather than later. But, yes, the notion of Eternity is a scary one, just by itself, or the fact that when we go out, it does seem that we go alone. At least, when we are lost in space, we are lost together.
Then there is the very comforting notion of Eternal Return...... for individuals, for civilizations, even for universes. Nature, herself, is composed almost entirely of such cycles...... why should we and the cosmos not also participate in this rather comforting notion of cycles within cycles, rather than the starkness of a singular Eternity?
1:30----------
But, heaven forbid, with only the UT's out there to hold our hands, there is nothing truly, now, between us and Eternity.
Eternity? What the heck is that? Well, that's why I spent the last two weeks in SF, with Jack Sarfatti. He wrote the book...... Space, Time and Beyond.
We seem to agree that Eternity is the Implicate order. How do we imagine it? It is the mind of God, the Alpha and the Omega. Is this Pagan? Is this Christian? What the heck is it?
Whatever it is, why can't it just mind its own business, and leave us, poor souls, alone?
Well, how do I put this gently.......? WE are Its business....! And it's like.... All ye, all ye, in Free! Ready or not? Hey, we have all the time in the world to wrap up our business down here. There is no rush, whatsoever! It's simply that once we've seen Paris, it may be difficult to keep us down on the Farm.
Paris?? Where is the travel brochure? I knew you were going to ask that embarrassing question. Yes, sorry, I have no brochure. Hey, I don't even have the t-shirt. But, I'll show you my shiner, all the way from the Dock of the Bay.
The closest notion in history may be the heresy of Apocatastasis. See, even the Christians don't really want to meet their Maker, despite all their protestations of 'Hurry, Lord!'
So what is all this noise about 'Depopulation'......?
What we are actually discussing here is the Endtimes, and, in particular, what is the best possible Endtimes. But isn't the notion of an End inherently evil? Isn't death evil? Isn't death the wages of original sin, whatever that may be?
Well, the End spells the death of death. So we'll all live happily ever after? Yes and no..... We become One with God. This has been our Destiny, since the very beginning. This is the essence of Who we are. Can we deny our own essence? Well, we surely do try!
You see, Cy, we live under the illusion of our separateness from God, and we have grown very accustomed to this illusion. For the most part, it is a comfortable illusion. Naturally, we are reluctant to give it up. We cling to it, for dear life, both individually and collectively.
In this sense, depopulation is the very least of our 'problems'...... The population is not going back to 144,000,000..... It is going back to 1....! Do you see the difference? It is a whole other perspective. It is the God's-eye view. God is having us for dinner, in a cosmic Communion. We have been eating God, and now God eats us! Fair enough??
Does this sound a bit harsh? Who would you rather have eat you, God or the worms? I admit, it doesn't sound very appetizing, either way. Maybe that's why we all wish to be Pagans, in the End.
2:50--------
Ok, so which way to Paris? Well, Paris is right here, right now, but we do have some difficulty discerning it through the overwhelming illusion of space & time. We are God, strewn all over the battlefield of space & time. She is in the process of pulling herself together, of waking up. We are the Resurrecting god..... the One and only.
The very first evidence of this global resurrection will be the knowledge implosion brought about be the MoAPS, the mother of all paradigm shifts. We have all heard about the Copernican revolution. Well, this will be the Copernican de-revolution, and that's just for starters.....
To put it more accurately, we are about to end our Errand into the Wilderness, by reversing our steps from the Explicate, back to the Implicate order. Easier said than done? Yes and no........
There are many analogies concerning who we are, from whence we come, and whither we go. Perhaps the most obvious of these is to think of ourselves as God's own little brain cells. Out of sight, out of mind?! Yes and no!
Another way to think about this, and what Jack and I spent two weeks discussing in San Francisco, and which the quantum physicists, at Jakir Aharonov's 80th Birthday Party at Chapman College in Irvine, spent two days discussing, was the idea of us as each on our own little Feynman trajectory, actually a 'path integral', through space and time, and about to collapse back at the Omega Point. That's all! Hey, they don't call me Chicken Little for nothing! Yes, a piece of the sky did fall on my head in San Francisco, and I have the shiner to prove it!
Well, I might be putting a couple of words, in a couple of mouths, but, I swear, this was the head of the Omega pin, on which all of us 'angels' were, and will be, dancing! You can take that to the big bank in the Sky! Am I right, Jack? Only Jack will know it, for sure..... all the rest of us can take it on Spec. Yes?
IOW, and how do I put this......? you and I, in our own little way, are performing 'weak measurements' on everyone and everything else. Are we not? This is how the world is bootstrapped, and we are like the Lilliputians wrt Gulliver. Tell me I'm wrong, Jack.
4pm----------
Ok, so will someone please explain to me, then, how does this macro-quantum state become reflected in the micro-world? That's all I need to know, at this point. Does this have to be difficult? Does this have to be rocket-science? Or is it brain surgery?
5:45---------
We have some idea how the Alpha and Omega are connected, but we don't understand how the micro and macro-worlds are connected, but there must be some analogous link. There must be some sort of möbius twist, here, that we are missing, but is somehow hidden, in plain sight.
There could be a conformal/fractal type of connection. Is there some natural or biological analogy? The human mind is somehow analogous to the mathematical structures that guide the interactions of particles. This is true, especially under the rubric of the knowledge implosion. We recall that, within the cosmos, we are the meso-cosms. Our own minds may provide the möbius twist.
