Where do we go when we die?

Two things spurred me to write this blog today.

First was the passing of three American Icons, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.

When legends die most people begin to wonder about their own mortality as well.


Secondly an acerbic comment left by ‘John’, an obviously confused person who by the prejudgment of his Fundamentalist ideology accused me of twisting Scripture to my own ends and urged me in no certain terms to ‘repent’. The topic in question for which ‘John’ had issues with was that of the Scriptural view of ‘Ghosts’ I examined in my article The Bible and the Paranormal Part 1:Ghosts.

When people of deep faith or conviction are presented with the idea that the ideology that they hold so dear might not be based on fact but conjecture, they either get go into a classic stress reaction which leads to fight or flight.

Judging by the comments of some, ‘John’ notwithstanding, that has been the overall reaction by Christians of a particular mindset to this topic.

Beware Christian Dogma Ahead!

While many of you might not hold to Christian belief, the Christian traditions have merged with Western Culture to such an extent that common beliefs in Christian circles are those in common culture as well.

The dominant Christian/Western view is that as Christians when we die, we go to heaven or hell depending upon what you either a) did with your life, and/or b)your relationship with Jesus Christ.

But does the Bible really say that?

Again as in my previous articles I must say we must look at the Bible as a whole and in context.

Most Christians get the belief that they are going straight off to heaven when they die because of some key passages from Paul the Apostle:

2 Corinthians 5:1-8 (NKJV)

1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Philippians 1:21-23 (NKJV)

21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

So it would seem from a quick glance at these Scriptures that the Apostle Paul in these two letters is telling us that when you die you go right to Jesus in heaven. Many Christians comfort themselves with this thought, and to challenge it is considered heresy.

But when looking at Scripture as a whole it is not so clear cut.

Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians tells us something a little different about those who are dead:

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NKJV)

So here Paul says those who die are asleep. They are not alive and consciously living with Jesus in heaven. He also uses this terminology in the first letter to the church of Corinth, 1 Corinthians:

17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

There is a belief among some Christian traditions of ‘Soul Sleep’. Once the body is dead, the soul is not conscious. The soul and spirit sleep until they can be united with a new body.

So are we ‘asleep’ in souls sleep, or are we in heaven, or something else?

To define this let’s look at the verses that follow 2 Corinthians 5:1-8, Vv.9-10

9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

Paul is talking about being with Christ in the context of the judgement of believers. If you also follow the context of the other Scriptures here as well, you will see that Paul is putting all this terminology and referencing into the context of the resurrection.

The Judeo-Christian tradition holds that there will be a bodily resurrection of the just at the end days. That is the great hope. We will not dwell in heaven for eternity, though by the language the scripture uses we could, but our bodies will be transformed and be like Christ at His resurrection. It will be a supernatural and multidimensional body that can traverse heaven and Earth. Not only that, but the whole cosmos shall be re-made so there is no more sin, war or death. That is the great hope.

What Paul references here then is what Christian Theologians call ‘The Intermediate State’ or ‘Disembodied Existence’. While the body dies, the soul lives on. It is the state of the body between death and resurrection.

Dr. D.E. Nilsson in his Biblical Doctrine Study concerning the Intermediate State acknowledges that : “The state of the human being after death is left largely in the shadows by Scripture”. Millard Erickson also agrees stating that “The doctrine of the intermediate state is an issue which is both very significant and problematic.” (Christian Theology, Grand Rapids: Baker, 1990 p1174)

Early church fathers believed that all who die, righteous and unrighteous alike descend into Sheol or Hades, a gloomy dream state where they await the second coming of Christ.

(Joachim Jeremias, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, ed. Gerhard Kittel and Gerhard Friedich, trans. Geoffrey W. Bromiley, 10 vols. Grand Rapids:Eerdmans, 1964-1976, Vol 1, pp.657-58)

Sheol and Hades are terminology associated with the grave, but in early apostolic thought it was almost a purgatory like waiting place where the souls of the dead waited until their final judgment. The just had joy and the unjust experienced torture. So the righteous in Christ experienced bliss, and although they were not in heaven itself (they had to be in the resurrected form to be granted that privilege after the judgment) they did experience comfort.

Many ancient writers who’s belief system that were akin to the ancient church fathers believed there was fellowship between souls in Sheol/Hades and the individual still laid claim to their identity. The supernatural phenomenon of a haunting, if it was not classified as demonic, was often thought of as a soul escaping Sheol/Hades up until the late 19th century. (Burmester, William. New Castle News/Lawrence Country Historical Society: New Castle, Legends of Lawrence County. 1984 pp.85-86)

So where do we go when we die?

Traditionally we await the judgment of God and Christ in a disembodied existence. In that existence to have a taste of what that judgment will be. For the good, Christ comforts them and according to apostolic thought, there is a fellowship with family and friends. It is much like the phenomena related by those who have a near death experience. For the bad, it is not pleasant.

Significant in the early church thought is the concept of a souls escaping or somehow not being in Sheol/Hades.

While many will try to refute that the Bible talks about ghosts as disembodied spirits of the dead in Scripture, you cannot escape the evidence that the Scripture does reference ghost/spirits many times in a manner that does not associate them with demonic forces that need to be exorcized (1 Samuel 28:7-25; Matthew 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-52; Luke 24:33-43; John 6:14-21). Scripture tells us there was a belief in ghosts in the believing community of the Old and New Testament. Early church belief and writings demonstrate that believers untainted by millennia of political manipulation of theology believed that some spirits were indeed the disembodied dead who somehow escaped the confines of Sheol/Hades.

So we have Scripture and ancient church tradition to lean on. After we die we are in a place awaiting our final destination.

A place of peace for some, a place of torment for others.

A place that for some reason or another a spirit can escape or in some way avoid.

How?

We do not know.

But the spirit will not be able to avoid judgment for good or ill by its Creator and Sustainer of life, even though it might traverse the land of the living for a time.


Until Next Time,

Pastor Swope

Mystery House
0 Replies

Mystery House is the actual name of a haunted house that once stood in a by-road close to old Crystal Palace. It was called Mystery House because it had its fair share of bizarre incidents, which plagued every tenant that moved in, beginning with the Trent family.

Haunted houses seem quite common in the world of the paranormal, but this place had consistent levels of high strangeness which seemed to begin one morning when Mrs Trent walked into her bedroom and saw the pillows moving and the bed shaking. The woman remained unphased and put the incident down to hallucination until the following night when her husband, sleeping in a separate room, was awoken by a piercing wail. Mr Trent rushed to his wife's aid and saw her struggling to stop an invisible force which was attempting to suffocate her with the pillow.

Strange smells filled the rooms on occasion, and then it seemed as if something was occupying the basement. Shuffling noises, objects moving and footfalls, which also travelled through the kitchen. Even in his scepticism, Mr Trent wondered just what was going on, especially when on one occasion it appeared as if someone was chasing him through the house. And there was the strange presence, as if someone unseen had walked into the room. Finally, the Trents decided to move out.


When the place was rented by a woman of the name Cattling, who owned several dogs, little did she realise what she was letting herself in for. At first she simply put her peculiar feelings down to the feel of the new house, until she found one of her dogs dead upstairs in the bedroom. Looking round the room she saw the pillow begin to move and take on the form of a ghastly face with a huge, pointed noise and two glaring eyes.

The woman was plagued by mysterious occurrences: the night when the gas went out; in the darkness a box of matches was gently slid into her hand; and the laughter ringing out through the rooms. Even friends saw the phenomena, which proved to be the final nail in the coffin that forced the woman to leave.

The place remained empty for a while until a Mrs Eveley took it for six months, with her daughter and two servants. The spirits never let up and tormented the occupants from the very first night, the beds shaking and shadowy figures looming over those sleeping, who awoke in terror. With loud hammering noises, footfalls and shuffling again in the basement, once again, the residents moved out.

History suggests that the original owner of the house had committed suicide, so maybe this tortured soul still roamed the structure, or maybe the house had been built on evil ground, but this is something we'll never know, hence the immortal name, Mystery House.

Sacramento group doesn't always look for ghosts

Sacramento group doesn't always look for ghosts

Brad Smith entered a Stockton home recently when, all of a sudden, he felt an ice-cold grip on his left wrist.

There was nobody there to grab it.

Smith, who investigates whether ghosts exist at certain locations, said he doesn't know what it was, but it could have been a deceased relative.

Smith, a member of a Sacramento-based organization called American Paranormal Investigations, spoke to about 40 people attending Wednesday night's meeting of the newly formed Lodi Paranormal and Historic Anomaly Society.

Smith is what is his group calls a "debunker," someone who searches buildings attempting to prove that they aren't haunted. He looks for logical reasons for funny noises, like a running air conditioner, a breeze from the window or a creaky wooden floor.

In Stockton, Smith checked for a significant amount of electric and magnetic fields in the neighborhood, which could cause something that appears to be ghostly.

"It could be anything," Smith said.

It could be a ghost of someone who once lived in the house, it could be someone who once lived in the neighborhood.

"It may be passing through," he said. "They may be curious just like us."

Smith, who was a reporter for two years for the Siskiyou Daily News in Yreka beginning in 2006, said his group will return to the Stockton house for a more thorough investigation. He now writes for what he described as an "area newspaper" and does crime reporting online.

Dave Bender, who founded American Paranormal Investigations in 2001, told interested Lodians that he doesn't use the term "ghost" when discussing possible paranormal activity. Instead, he likes to use the word "apparition," an unusual or unexpected sight.

Bender said American Paranormal Investigations won't come to someone's residence strictly to look for ghosts.

"Twenty percent of the things we encounter are paranormal," Smith said. "The other 80 percent can be easily explained."

It's more important to listen to people's stories about what they think is abnormal in their house, Bender said.

"They don't want people to think they're crazy," he said. "What's important to them is to be willing to listen to their story.

"I can teach you how to investigate," Bender said. "I can't teach you how to care about people. We're here to make the family feel better."

Describing his most unusual experience searching for ghosts, Bender recalls visiting a house in a nice Sacramento neighborhood. He didn't notice anything unusual, but several women, including his wife, felt like they were choking.

One woman was walking in a bedroom at that home when something unexplainable bumped into her. She fell down and hurt her elbow.

"It was nasty, that's what it was," Bender said.

Smith said he was blown away one night in Auburn, where several people told him they saw creatures resembling "gray humanoids."

"So we scouted the area. At the driveway, I saw this blurred humanoid shape in the air, turn and go away," Smith said. "We tried to debunk it, but we couldn't explain it another way."

Black-Eyed Kids in Kansas
0 Replies 

It was warm for a December afternoon in Hutchinson, Kan., when Katie came home from work in 2008. Katie’s ride dropped her off across from her duplex, and as she stood in the street, her ride moving slowly away, she knew something wasn’t right.

“I noticed two boys standing in my driveway,” she said. “One had longer dark hair and the other had his hood up so I couldn't see him very well.”

The teenagers, about 15 or 16 years old, seemed to be watching her – Katie felt they were waiting for her. She steeled herself and walked nervously across the road toward her porch. The boys had lurked around her neighborhood for months, but they’d never been so bold as to stand this close to her home.

“I had seen them before, lingering in the yard, but they always left before I got out of my ride's car,” Katie said. “I had seen them late at night as well standing across the street when I would go outside to have an occasional late-night cigarette.”

But, although pangs of unease told her to run, their boldness angered her. She stopped and asked them why they were on her property.

“They told me they needed to use a phone and that the neighbors would not let them in,” she said. “That was when I noticed their eyes – they were coal black. Just black. No white and not even a hint of iris or pupil.”

Fear shot through her, but as evenly as she could, Katie told them she didn’t have a telephone. Katie walked up her porch steps and began to unlock her door when the boy in the hood spoke.

“He asked if they could come in for a glass of water,” she said. “I turned to look at them again thinking maybe my mind was playing tricks. But no, when I turned and looked into their eyes they were pitch black as the first time.”

These children with dead, black eyes had spoken softly to her, emotion and vocal inflection absent from their words. As she looked at these boys, whose long hair and hooded sweatshirts she felt hid more than skin, she knew she had to get away.

“I felt panicked and fearful but also very vulnerable and cold,” she said. “It was like I wanted to let them in but I knew there was evil present. I had felt uneasy before seeing their eyes but now it all came out.”

Then one boy said something that turned her fear into complete terror.

“The hooded one then told me they couldn't come in unless I told them it was OK and that they hoped I would because they were thirsty,” Katie said. “I opened my door and darted inside. At this point I shut the door and locked it.”

She dropped onto the couch, her breaths coming in short, heavy gasps, when something tapped on the window behind her head.

“One of the boys stood there staring through the glass,” Katie said. “I remember his words very clearly; ‘just let us in, miss. We aren't dangerous, we don't have anything to hurt you with.’ I was beyond frightened at this point.”

Katie jumped off the couch and ran through the duplex, checking doors and windows to make sure they were locked.

“I did wonder if they really couldn't come in unless invited but I didn't want to find out,” she said. “I sat in the living room silently waiting for a sign that they had gone.”

When her boyfriend came home a short time later, the black-eyed teens were still at the house.

“(He) asked if I knew who the two boys outside were and I said ‘no,’” Katie said. “He told me they had been standing in the driveway when he pulled up but walked away when he stepped out of the car.”

He didn’t notice the boys’ eyes, but “they gave him a strange feeling.”

Katie later asked her neighbors if the black-eyed children had asked to use their telephone like they had claimed. The neighbors noticed the teens standing in Katie’s driveway, but never spoke with them.

Although it’s been more than a year since Katie turned the black-eyed children from her door, she knows they’re still around.

“I still see them every now and then standing across the street watching,” she said. “But they have not approached again.”

The Narration of A Future Past
Expanded on June 24, 2009

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." -Heisenberg


Beyond the new mythology of 2012, there may be a metaphoric recognition of an outcome that is perhaps as inevitable as the passage of the seasons or more specifically the successive generations of our own kind, each have a birth, a youth, a middle age followed by old age and then death. The cyclical theory of human history is such that all causal events occur in cycles that are more or less alike in their rotation. It has two main forms, one that posits cosmic or the cycles of the natural world and one that posits these cycles, or rotations only in human affairs, which seemingly assumes that the two are quite existential in relation to one another.. Though the second of these concepts is "logically" independent of the first, based on the surface of appearances,it is sometimes found as interdependent, in company with it in esoteric literature sometimes broadly hinted at and at times, in these texts irrefutably linked in the relationship of the mind through thought, then upon matter.In our own case we see that the thought upon behavior of certain critical assumptions has essentially altered, perhaps irrevocably, the forces of nature leading to our destruction.

Contained within "Beyond Quantum Theory: A Realist Psycho-Biological Interpretation of Reality Revisited" by the Nobel Scientist,Brian D. Josephson essentially restates this ancient axiom of "as above, so below", as perhaps, predicted by Aristotle, by relating the following thesis;

"It is hypothesized, following Conrad et al, that quantum physics is not the ultimate theory of nature, but merely a theoretical account of the phenomena manifested in nature under particular conditions. These phenomena parallel cognitive phenomena in biosystems in a number of ways and are assumed to arise from related mechanisms. Quantum and biological accounts are complementary in the sense of Bohr and quantum accounts may be incomplete. In particular, following ideas of Stapp, 'the observer' is a system that, while lying outside the descriptive capacities of quantum mechanics, creates observable phenomena such as wave function collapse through its probing activities. Better understanding of such processes may pave the way to new science."

In a thought provoking article,"The Origin of Conceptual Thought in Living Systems" by Dr A. E. Wilder-Smith, the subject returns to a different form of a interdependent origin narrative, suggestive of superimposition, which also infers a sentient universe as one side of a parallel organizing principle to Joesphson's, inasmuch there may be more dimensions to superimposition than we currently realize ;

"The grand question in origins, then, is whether codes and languages as such ever arise by chance, and selection over long periods of time in inorganic matter. To invoke natural selection as the source of such conceptual information or thought constitutes a huge begging of the whole question. For natural selection to occur in any plane, life and its concepts must already pre-exist. Thus, to explain the origin of life together with its concepts and selection of molecular forms by any methods which presuppose the prior existence of life, is a huge begging of the whole question. Life as we know it could not have started as a mixture of forms, which then, by natural selection, performed the separation of forms. The development of other concepts on the DNA molecule would require the origin of the concepts we are trying to explain."

In this we come to a nexus of conceptual orientations, the dying consensus versus the emerging reorientation of our models all of which defy mechanical interpretations of reality posed as if Newton and Descartes were the leading edge proponents of exploration. Far from it. This game of denial has more to do with power structures and certainty rather than a coherent reality.

Earth is a ball of rock that harbors life. The rock is unconnected to life versus Earth's upper crust and atmosphere have been largely created by life. Life is a brutal, bloody struggle for existence, competitive to the death. Nature is red in tooth and claw versus Living systems are essentially cooperative. Symbiosis and Partnership are the essential patterns of life.The basic pattern of life is competing with all others for scarce resources versus The basic pattern of plant and animal cells is symbiotic. Eucaryote cells arose by symbiogenesis. Evolution takes place species by species versus Co-Evolution takes place in community, by community.Living systems happened by accident, by chance versus Living systems are autopoetic; they organize themselves.Natural entities exist context-free versus Nothing is natural outside of context. A wolf in a cage is not a wolf. Scientific description is objective, independent of the observer and of the process of knowing versus Objectivity is an illusion. Heisenberg: "What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."

Reductionism: You understand wholes by analysis, by dissection: meaning is in the parts versus Holism: You understand the parts through synthesis (putting together the parts) of the whole. "Parts" includes every relationship within the whole. Meaning is in the whole. Science uses the building metaphor: It has foundations, building blocks versus the Network metaphor: no thing is more fundamental than another thing. Each element of a system may be coequal. Living systems (organisms) are in a state of equilibrium; Entropy applies to life; heat lost is just waste versus Living systems are open and far from equilibrium; homeostasis applies; entropy does not apply. Heat "lost" is energy used well. Entropy is always increasing and the entire universe is running down and will eventually halt in Heat Death versus Open systems cannot be understood by classical thermodynamics. Living systems increase order. Living systems, such as the Biosphere, evolve toward ever-increasing complexity.

A careful reading of Gurdjieff's narrative concerning Atlantis, linking behavior to natural catastrophes is also found in the South American "myths" that report a great babble, a confusion of tongues resulting in a great conflagration arising from the natural world. Much like the history of our own country, that of Atlantis as related by Plato, had ,in it's youth, had singularly altruistic ideals, much as Jefferson or Adams or Franklin expressed and enfolded into "democracy" arising from the Age of Reason. Plato interlinked the death of Atlantis to the loss of such ideals, it becoming a global superpower with imperialistic strategies to dominate the known world, rather than continuing down the path of evolving internally, the society it had originally envisioned. In a strange form of evolutionary force, this contagion of disorientation toward the natural world was erased by a simultaneous catastrophic lift and descent of the earths geologic surface as well as perhaps an enormous tidal pull when the earth reoriented itself in relation to it's axis of rotation. As envisioned by several, Atlantis was entombed beneath a sheath of ice at the bottom of the world, or descended into the depths of the oceans, perhaps this in of itself is a strange form of entrainment. Existential claims aside, we are a significant although small portion of a living system in nature, and so perhaps nature is not estranged from us, as when we attempt to "improve" it without a corresponding behavior of us toward it as coherent portion, it turns the tables upon us to restore it's own homeostasis. Thought as a aspect of sentience,, this intangible materiality, as it is a mystery to it's possessors may have a more enfolded nature, as Brian Josephson has suggested, in relation to it's environment.

One must also distinguish those thinkers, like Plato and Aristotle, who believed in periodic cataclysms and beginnings, from those, like the Stoics, who believed in the return of identical events. The doctrine in some of its forms is found in ancient India, in Babylonia,and in Greece.

However these two cycles may also be interlinked inasmuch as the previous form of a civilization as in the form of a exoskeleton is often consumed as it decays in an opportunistic and parasitic manner by the viral contagion of it's exterior form by the emergence of new orientations. These are reformed toward the natural and human world and the corresponding creation of a new play or script, that these reinactors of mythology utilize to frame their innovated narrations of the past.The young human child and the youth of human civilizations correspond in this.

The good civil occupants of Pompeii merge as superimposed into a future past, driving their Roman automobiles upon errands under apparently clear skies unaware of the subterranean rifts about to violently tear at the fabric of the market square, under a suburban mall. In this realm, the forces of geologic, historic, astronomical, and biological time zones cross the shadow boundaries between myth and outcomes, across the divide between cause and effect, the mind and the material as one has impacted the other. Perhaps also the mythological basis in a search for the fifty rowers in search of The Golden Fleece, the fifty denizens of Gomorrah, the fifty conscious human beings in Gurdjieff's cosmology merge together as the nexus of some new seed who will rewrite these as yet unwritten mythologies of our present at the steps of temple found in the dense swamp at the Temple of Lincoln God, covered in moss and equal mystery.

In India the doctrine appears in the form of the four yugas, or ages, which make up the mahâyuga (Great Year), a period lasting for 4,320,000 solar years. Each of the yugas differs from its predecessor much as the Ages of Hesiod did, in that wickedness and general evil grow greater in a form of cultural sociopathy.. The last yuga in the series is our own, and will come to an end with a great conflagration followed by a deluge. Between each two ages there is a twilight and a dawn lasting for one tenth of the duration of the preceding or following age. By the time the fourth age, the Kaliyuga. The first, the Satyayuga, interestingly, is corresponding to the Golden Age in Greek mythology,was the longest; the Kaliyuga, which began on 18
February 3102 B.C. will be the shortest. The acceleration of time as well as the passage from childhood to old age correspond proportionately to that of a human life span.

Neda Soltan, who recently was murdered by the self same forces of rigidity and decay masquerading as posturing intermediaries toward the heavens, had a straightforward personality and loved poetry,who was the subject of my last post, was not an activist by nature, as her fiance ,Makan said. "She didn't believe that we always have to fight and quarrel and be violent and have death," he said. "There's only one thing [Iranians] must fight and that's ignorance. And you don't fight ignorance with a sword or a gun. You turn on a light." Her name translated is a calling and a voice that was globally sent around this world community as a potent sign of these times between childhood and old age, promise versus the results of certainty in a monarchical universe and perhaps the indication of a litmus test for exactly how interdependent we (in actuality) are.... as well as a form of the darkness that always proceeds a storm in the extinguishing of her life so autonomically, calls us to question our own assumptions and valuations, toward the purpose of a life unlived both figuratively in a world of warring nation states and empirically in a pool of blood clotting on a "civilized" city street.

In 2012, the wheels of the cycles in historic, mythological narrative converge,in the increase in the depth and volume of the worlds oceans, the polar sheath freed from an age of ice perhaps signals the reappearance of a oceanic Atlantis in the furies of the South Antarctic Ocean, as the gravitational field and slowing rotational speed of our planet are increasingly effected by the forces of tidal lift and drag, as the predicted peak of solar storms arising from the sun occur in that same year, within the realm of a weakened magnetosphere, as well as the reappearance of earth's second moon in Toro 1685. respective of strange astrologers, looking for the portents of alignment under a moon of uncertainty.

Aristotle pulls no punches as he flatly says in the Metaphysics that the arts and sciences have been lost and regained many times; and then in the Politics, that all ideas of any value have already been discovered and tried; and in De Caelo, mirroring Nietzsche, that the same doctrines have been discovered innumerable times.

The varying velocities of these time keeping calendars as a measurement tool, see also the predicted recurrence of great mass migrations that signal our dispersal that is echoed across the Bering Strait, from the desertification and monsoon rains that disperse populations beyond the managerial capacity of bureaucrats, due to the driving force of natural systems. The tables are turned upon presumptions.

The maintenance of power generating stations manned by governmental agencies perhaps keep their stations in the endless interim as a matter of national security in the name of a contingent organization in it's death throes, as new diseases and influenza formerly contained by predictable weather patterns descend upon new territories in a migration, that has just begun.

As GI Gurdjieff noted, you do not need psychic powers to see the future if the present remains unchanged, as these effects are already being studied as I have documented in previous posts, by various universities and global organizations. We represent the diameter of a slender hair in geological time as the causes supersede these effects as nature is reinventing itself and perhaps reorienting the observer to the observed, as the hawk loosed from his handler's grasp circles the skies in search of a future life, a sign of life in a post technological series of community whose history as an archive, I perhaps type, into a present tense. Storms, strange seasons and the destructive power of hurricanes and tornadic winds of an unusually high velocity have begun scour the earth.

When the current pressure lessens and the flow ceases across the towers of their long distance transmission, the record of these words which have been recorded onto an electronic page will disperse as surely as water evaporates beneath the sun, and so another sort of page is turned. The is no archivist for electricity, as water cannot be transposed onto stone. Reverberations in the stillness of a pond that the eyes cannot encounter are felt as the lunacy of currency in the form of tokens as representative of our values has taken a steep decline. The fallacy of work-less work whereas we have become functionaries and automatons already to the machines of convenience we have created is no future event such as a singularity, as that has already occurred, as the unemployment rate rises as the waters of the oceans that no amount of printing presses creating more paper tokens can alleviate, as the forests of their origin, decline and\or burn.

What form of humanity will appear beyond 2012, in the next post, we speculate upon the shifting tide and gather grains of sand. Perhaps we may as well read the augers from rune stones, but then again, this is the freedom of acknowledgment without fear, without panic, without certainties and without a precedent, or is there one we can read?Then in all of these intersecting and interdependent cycles or rotations we have two movements assigned to both a heavenly and our earthly bodies assigned to the mind by the counterbalance of the moon to matter in a liquid state observed by the tides of our affairs as a metaphor, that it is on earth as it is in the heavens.

"The two great systems of body liquids -those of blood and lymph -have one fundamental difference, however. The blood-system has a built-in pump, the heart, which keeps it in constant circulation against the terrestrial and lunar pulls. And the heart is powered by the Sun. The lymph-system has no such pump. Of itself it is a stagnant system, maintained in suspension by the Moon, and communicating with the other only by osmosis. Yet in order to cleanse the body and dispose of poisons, it has to circulate. This circulation is made possible only by the constant motion of all parts of the body, which act as innumerable vascular pumps at all stages of its network. The moon-suspended lymph thus demands movement. And if there is no movement for an appreciable length of time, accumulation of poisons produces a muscular irritation which becomes unbearable. This irritation is relieved by movement, which renews lymph circulation. In this way, we may say that the Moon induces movement in man, whether he will or no. Move he must. But he has a choice whether this movement be deliberate, intentional and useful to his aims: or involuntary, aimless and unproductive."
