Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

It is with some hesitation that I think back on the experience of attending one of California's factory high schools in the 60s, but there are times it can't be avoided in trying to understand the world as it is today.   This was especially true when I first read the thoughts of Charlotte Iserbyte and John Gatto some 30-years later. Their writing explained the bells and moving between cubicles; and leaving high school completely uneducated by way of my submission.   To my credit, I did began my re-education through holistic endeavors immediately after graduating high school - but still, it's been a daunting task to process the changes in society since 9-11.   How does one transition from an attitude along the line of Thoreau's musings: "I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life; to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die discover that I had not lived."   I had never imagined then that "put to rout all that was not life" would take on this degree of an external battle. I was preparing for the arrival of a new age both internally and externally.   While Thoreau had gone to the woods, I had found my sanctuary in the high desert area of NE Nevada  an area that feels like home. I embraced Jefferson's vision of America as a nation of small farms  yeoman. I grew a large bio-dynamic garden, could build my own home through any variety of methods, and was presenting a signpost as best I could of a sustainable and holistic lifestyle.   I was eagerly awaiting the imminent rediscovery and release of over-unity generation of electricity from the alternative energy community or at the very least, a hydrogen from water system. I mean, if I'm seeing clips of Fox News openly showing these systems, surely their release can no longer be suppressed  right? ...Hmmm.   This morning, after reading that the G-20 conference has essentially agreed to place global governance in the hands on the international banking fraternity, I went back and read   Quigley's Statement: "The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences."   I also read an email wanting me to contact our area representative to protest the bill currently up for vote that would require the mandatory fluoridation of Nevada's drinking water.   As I step outside, I viewed in disgust numerous chemtrails being sprayed overhead and wondered why they were interested in a rural area like this? I was on my way to have coffee with a friend on the board of our electrical cooperative who had just returned from a meeting of regional cooperative. In conversation, he related that they were told by the association's president that we could effectively expect electrical rates to double in the not too distant future due to carbon taxes in the pipeline.   A local woman sitting nearby mentioned the name of a woman in town that had gone in for a checkup and, after the doctor telling her that she had breast cancer, wanted to remove both her breasts the next day. She held out for a second opinion before proceeding. So, not the best start to the morning but, unfortunately, not untypical for these times. I used to give out G. Edward Griffin's 'A World Without Cancer' tapes when I heard someone in town had cancer, but found there was no interest in an alternative to modern medicine's practice of mutilation, poisoning and burning.   But then I came across a cancer story that I was sure would get people's attention. An acquaintance in town was being treated for diabetes. He had been recommended a tea to drink as an alternative to the medication he was taking. Within a few months he no longer needed the medication, but didn't mention it to his doctor. He still wanted to get professional monitoring and his insurance required him to take the prescribed medicine - so when his doctor mentioned that the medication was working, he would agree and now has a whole box of unused diabetes medication.   His sister in Idaho had a whole series of health problems, from fibromyalgia to diabetes, and had been referred to a naturopath by a friend of hers. The doctor had cured her problems, or brought them to a state that they were no longer an imposition. Her brother went on to describe that she had elected to have breast reduction surgery at a Las Vegas facility and that when they opened her up, found massive cancer in both breasts.   When she came out from anesthesia, the resident oncologists told her too that they wanted to remove both breast immediately. She told them that she wanted to consult her doctor first and found that he was lecturing in South America. Upon reaching him, she was told not to worry about it, recommended a tea to drink, to stop eating meat and dairy, and that they would deal with it when he returned. She never got the surgery and is cancer free. Now you would think that this story would be of interest, especially to those with cancer, but I find that you may as well be sharing the plot of a science fiction novel. I called the friend's sister in Idaho and found that what I was told was indeed true and found that she was very suspicious of giving out her doctor's name to someone she didn't know. Apparently doctors that can 'cure' have a big target on their backs.   Running contrary to this endless litany of engineered dysfunction is the idea of an emerging new age. It may be in the consideration of the differences between a new age and a new world order that the battle lines can best be defined.   One of the Hopi elders referred to this cycling of ages as the 'age of ether'. Another person considering this matter speculated that this 'new age' began to emerge in the latter 1800s  somewhere around the time of the Industrial Revolution.   The Wikipedia entry for the Industrial Revolution contains these thoughts: "The onset of the Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in human society; almost every aspect of daily life was eventually influenced in some way. Starting in the latter part of the 18th century there began a transition in parts of Great Britain's previously manual labor and draft animal based economy towards machine-based manufacturing...The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complicated and remain a topic for debate, with some historians believing the Revolution was an outgrowth of social and institutional changes brought by the end of feudalism in Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century...As national border controls became more effective, the spread of disease was lessened, thereby preventing the epidemics common in previous times."   So we have the potentials of a change from a draft-animal based economy, the end of feudalism and the eradication of disease.   An Age of Ether   In looking for 'markers' of an Age of Ether, three personages stand out; Nikola Tesla, Royal Raymond Rife and Edgar Cayce.   One author describes Tesla's thoughts: "Ether is the 'ultimate' medium (Tesla often interchanged the term 'medium' with 'ether') - being a perfect fluid and transporting independent carriers. Tesla said that electromagnetic radiation was propagated "like sound waves in the ether". Tesla's thoughts are often described as 'Ether Physics' and describe his efforts in bringing us 'energy from the ether'.   Jeff Rense writes of Royal Raymond Rife: "Imagine, for a moment, that you have spent more than two decades in painfully laborious research-- that you have discovered an incredibly simple, electronic approach to curing literally every disease on the planet caused by viruses and bacteria. Indeed, it is a discovery that would end the pain and suffering of countless millions and change life on Earth forever. Certainly, the medical world would rush to embrace you with every imaginable accolade and financial reward imaginable. You would think so, wouldn't you?"   In Royal Raymond Rife we have a genius similar to Tesla that would have given mankind the gift of the eradication of disease on the planet through electromagnetic frequency  somewhat akin to Tesla's idea of ether physics.   Edgar Cayce presetns another thought to the table when considering the idea of 'ether'  one that I'm sure both Tesla and Rife could identify with as their source of 'genius'. Edgar Cayce described that he was reading from the Akashic records. One description of 'Akashic Records' reads:   "A theosophical term referring to a universal filing system which records every occurring thought, word, and action. The records are impressed on a subtle substance called akasha or 'Soniferous Ether'. In Hindu mysticism this akasha is thought to be the primary principle of nature from which the other four natural principles, fire, air, earth, and water, are created. These five principles also represent the five senses of the human being.   Certain persons in subconscious states do read the akashic records. An explanation for this phenomena is that the akashic records are the macrocosm of the individual subconscious mind. Both function similarly, they possess thoughts which are never forgotten. The collective subconscious gathers all thoughts from each subconscious mind which can be read by other subconscious minds.   An example of one who many claimed successfully read the akashic records is the late American mystic Edgar Cayce. Cayce did his readings in a sleep state or trance. Cayce's method was described by Dr. Wesley H. Ketchum who for several years used Cayce as an adjunct for his medical practice. "Cayce's subconscious...is in direct communication with all other subconscious minds, and is capable of interpreting through his objective mind and imparting impressions received to other objective minds, gathering in this way all knowledge possessed by endless millions of other subconscious minds."   While this aspect is less tangible than universal free energy and health, it is perhaps the most important in that it holds the potential for individuals to access and apply the inherent genius of life all around.   The back cover of a book on Tesla makes this point: "Is there a "secret physics" with a different set of rules - hidden away from us earlier in this century, by a powerful elite who fear the technology based on it will strip away their power and wealth, and liberate us from their grip? "   We find that we are living in a world of irony in which the new world order that we are hearing so much about is actually a desperate attempt to maintain an old world order. Ironical too, that those that want to control through suppression are walling themselves off in prisons of their own making.   Those that see themselves primarily through the eyes of a 'seeker' can relate to David Icke describing this time as a battle between mind and consciousness. Certainly there is a point of consciousness, a sense of listening with strength of heart, where we find that we are experiencing the same thoughts and revelations at the same time. This may be where our hope and liberty lay ... Insight and compassion.   It takes the involvement of the heart to get the mind to surrender to consciousness and become the servant rather than the master. By attempting to tap into the 'genius of the ethers' we may find our way through this quagmire and experience the potential of this new cycle in time.   There is perhaps no more poignant arena of consciousness versus mind than in the relationship with NFHBs (not from here beings). The life experience of connecting through consciousness with consciousness is a different experience from the mind's self-conscious speculations, hesitations and fears. Is there any greater liberty than sitting quietly and listening to the wisdom of the universe - or sitting beneath a star strewn sky in the open desert and extending to the consciousness with civilizations that may have been in existence for millennia?   I find myself compelled to side with consciousness over mind, whatever physical and energetic form it takes. In this, I find it's a matter of "do or don't do, there is no try."   Gary Jacobucci jacob48@citlink.net
