• We know China and the US both have weather modification programs, which includes the ability to create earthquakes. We know the UN specifically prohibits this, but that never stopped anyone. We aren’t being told anything official about a weather war, but Benjamin Fulford has a new video on YouTube about it, and here’s an article China Orders Strike Against US for Catastrophic Earthquake. Cue the tornadoes and the floods here; now how about some freak rain in China (or another major earthquake in Japan, who according to Fulford is tragically involved in all this). The fallout is, among other things, increased worldwide food shortages, soaring fuel prices and further economic ruin. Pretty stinking clever.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” - Stephen Hawking

Yesterday, the British government released some of its heretofore top secret files on UFO sightings, just hours after the Vatican surprisingly announced, “belief in God and aliens is OK.” Today, Russian Muslims and Jews admit existence of UFO-people. Also yesterday, NASA announced the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers had been searching for for 50 years.

Maybe it’s just the season for it. On May 11, 2001, The Disclosure Project announced the National Press Club event on the subject. Mexico held their international press conference to release their UFO sightings files on May 11, in 2004. “On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights.” Two of the most notorious UFO photos of all time were taken on a farm in Oregon on May 11, 1950. OK, I know it’s not May 11, but we’re not far off. Interesting to note anyway.

Britain is not the first country to release some of their x-files. France released some of theirs in March, 2007. Of course Mexico back in 2004. Brazil in 2005 (May 20, by the way). Canada, Spain, Chile and Peru have also released theirs, but according to that article, and point well made, information on ’sightings’ doesn’t necessarily equate to coming out and saying, yes, there are aliens, and here they are.

This article so aptly asks, “what do Britain’s ‘X Files’ tell us, and why have they been released now?” Maybe some kind of imminent and inevitable contact is in the works and they’re trying to acclimate us to the idea. Or, they just can’t hide it anymore. Or, these governments are all in cahoots to completely deceive us all, masterminding some kind of worldwide deception, a la Project Bluebeam, to consolidate power and hypnotize us for awhile longer yet, so that we don’t notice all the other possibilities around us, like escape to a higher dimension, for example. Check out this YouTube video, Fake UFO Attack Plan.

The religious question always comes to mind, which is why it’s interesting to note when the Vatican noses in on UFO questions, as it has done before. Religion has been used as a way to control and conform, and certainly the Catholic Church is keen enough to keep a hold onto theirs, so their participation in this manipulation is not surprising. If something is coming and they know it (and you can be sure, they would know), they are going to want to be in on it all from the get-go. Many people have theorized about aliens in the Bible, suspicious entities behind the New Age movement, ancient genetic engineering, and interspecies warfare. Contact will change everything we think we know both in terms of history, science and technology, not to mention politics and religion. It’s a very delicate subject that might need to be reinterpreted for the next era, if the present powers want to play a role.

So, if the aliens do finally land on the White House lawn, who is ultimately responsible for helping us believe this is a good thing? Whose agenda would this be serving? Should we be paying attention to the fact that these things might be happening just before a much-anticipated theorized shift in consciousness in 2012? Does the timing have anything to do with Planet X, global warming, world war or some other kind of potential global catastrophe? Should we trust our government if they support our new space brothers? Should we be wary if they don’t?

In the UK, there has been a huge rise in UFO sightings. Russia is building a UFO center for sightings, research and observation. ABC News reported that Arizona firefighters are being trained for UFO and alien contact. A couple of months ago, rumors suggested the UN had been involved in secret meetings regarding the issue, according to sources alleged by Exopolitics Institute’s Dr. Michael E. Salla. This meeting was corroborated by a French aviator involved in the talks, and then later had to be clarified as sources were withdrawn. Perhaps it is as Dr. Salla had previously noted, as well as Dr. Greer of the Disclosure Project, that divulging the truth of alien visitations might also unveil the truth about alternate energy sources, which the current powers-that-be don’t want for obvious reasons.

UFO disclosure doesn’t make me giddy. It makes me very serious, concerned and thoughtful. Once one gets past the idea that there are such entities, one quickly finds talk of the many alien races. If that is the case there are likely many different agendas, possibly varying philosophies, capabilities and wisdom, and they might not all be love, peace and harmony.

If they did seem loving, peaceful and helpful, that would be great; I’d like to hear them tell us about the latent and inherent powers we all possess, as spiritual beings, to rise above our present condition. These are truths referred to by our greatest spiritual sages, and ones I’ve experienced firsthand. Therefore, I wouldn’t want to see them set themselves up as the new powers-that-be. We don’t need an alien messiah bringing another round of brainwashing.

On the other hand, I will accept there may be some good guys out there. Who knows if they’re interplanetary or interdimensional – or even both. They may indeed arrive to remind us of peace and love. Perhaps they might even teach us some interesting science and technology that could better our world. But certainly not if it demands our reverence or worship, or an even further consolidation of our world’s elite power structure. The subject is so enormously complicated and full of implications we haven’t thought of yet, we all need to be extremely careful what bandwagon we jump on.

Going back to Stephen Hawking; let’s not assume anything. If there are aliens and they do make their presence known, let’s not rush into anything. Be discerning. Be wise, thoughtful and balanced. Be open-minded, but not gullible. Ask the right questions. Even if they tempt us with radical free energy devices or world peace; be forewarned. Things may not always be as they seem. Remember to ask, whether they are here to serve man, or serve man for dinner.

There is a quiet place, within yourself, away from the storm. In the center of the whipping winds and stinging rain, there is sunlight, peace and tranquility.

This world, and often this blog, is often full of the terrible side of life – the things people should know about, don’t really want to know about, might want to think about and could benefit from being aware of…but also could suffer from, might be anguished by, become fearful of, or worry about.

In the center of all that, I want to remind myself and others, is a place of serenity. Of Knowing. Of a warm, all-encompassing and comforting love. It is there. At the center of all our atoms is the vacuum, that which binds and connects all things. But we must all participate in the act of finding it. At the very least we must recognize it is there and still the mind, to prepare our awareness. To create a place within ourselves for that quiet feather to land.

This can be very difficult, or it can be amazingly simple. We alone control our bodies, and our reactions towards the outer world. If we don’t – well, go back and read some of the things from my second paragraph. Yes, there are agendas, energies and devices being set against our peace of mind. But they are not our god. Our spirits have much, much greater powers than these.

Awareness is the first step. Then there are things we can do to foil them, to fight that battle. The armor is there. Find it and put it on. Go back and read the old masters. They knew this enemy. This type of struggle is exactly what they were referring to.

Enlightenment can come in a day; even in a minute, a second. Or it can come long and painfully, after much suffering. Just ask Buddha.

The Way can be lined with annoyances and unscrupulous people. But it is always there, ready to receive, ready to heal, ready to teach. Just ask Lao Tzu.

Love is our ultimate weapon. The energy we radiate back out into the world, even as we are bombarded with unimaginable atrocities and negativity, is what will change our reality. Just ask Jesus.

It’s only as hard as we think it is. We only have as much power as we allow ourselves to have. For that matter, the dark side only has as much power as we allow it to have.  Just ask Yoda.

We are all bubbles of energy that radiate far outside our physical bodies, and interact with our reality; a feedback loop of information going in and out. Which information will we choose to receive, which shall influence us? And which shall we choose to release back out into the world?

Follow your heart, not the programmed knee-jerk reactions of your world gone mad. Take back what is rightfully yours. Peace of mind. Harmony. Start with yourself. Many will follow; meanwhile, just stay strong. Stay fiercely focused. We are poised for the most incredible journey we can imagine. Yes, – amidst the chaos of these days, is a bright and wonderful future, hiding there in the center of it all. Waiting for us to see it.

These are not pipe dreams. It can and indeed will happen. The question only remains, who will join me on this Great Journey? Who will be there to guide me when I fall down?

Please note a couple of excellent recent articles by two of my esteemed ‘blogeagues’, Kingsley Dennis and Neil Kramer, whose insights and intelligence continue to inspire me here at Surfing the Tao.

Neil Kramer has blessed us yet again with another thoughtful post over at The Cleaver, entitled What Lies Beneath: Is Belief a Big Con? From religions and spirituality to new physics and our concept of reality itself, how and what we believe, and how we apply these beliefs, can either uplift and heal, or bring certain doom. Our traditional concept of reality, including ‘mainstream’ science, must at some point begin to absorb the study of consciousness itself, to take a note from our ancient sources of wisdom. The two are intricately intertwined on a level we perhaps have not yet come to terms with. Certainly “unveiling the Control System” is important initially, but how we react and what we do with that knowledge is the ultimate key to an enlightened and sustainable future. It’s all in how we catch the wave.

One might understand why I mention Neil’s post in the same breath as Kingsley’s incredibly well-researched article, Global Gridlock: How the US Military-Industrial Complex Seeks to Contain and Control the Earth and its Eco-System. Kingsley does indeed note the spiritual implications of our ‘new reality’ in various posts on his blog, Between Both Worlds, and so this most recent article is received in the spirit of understanding there is a vast amount of information out there we need to be made aware of. The government is intent on achieving dominance over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including the development of a ’synchronic’ society with regards to tracking and monitoring even the biological elements – this is powerful information that could have vast implications with regards to our future as a society, and even as living beings within it. Making well-informed decisions about how we progress in this world is imperative, and Kingsley is a very important source to pay attention to on that front.

Recently I had the good fortune to come across a copy of Nassim Haramein’s DVD set, “Crossing the Event Horizon.” I would highly recommend a watch to anyone looking for an excellent interpretation of concepts ranging from Unified Field Theory, fractal geometrical realities, and the torque of spacetime, to crop circles, the pyramids, ancient calendars and our place in the universe. Four DVDs span over six hours of material, much of it Nassim’s own entertaining presentation of his brainpopping theories, with some special features worth investigating. His website, The Resonance Project, also contains a lot of his research, papers and articles, a trailer of his DVD and a preview of “The Power of Spin.” You can also join in his monthly teleconference calls.

I give him credit for puzzling together his theories from hard physics, pure brainpowered revelation and no doubt plenty of inspiration from the Ether. His background is unique, and given the state of our current orthodox scientific community, which seems to progress with the speed of a glacier, the new ideas he’s brought into dialogue are refreshing and invigorating. I can only imagine what his theories could bring in terms of changing our reality – from the expansive way we understand creation and our very existence, to how we live our everyday lives. Understandable why he appears on this video which won the One Minute Shift video contest.

The double torus he talks about, based around the tetrahedral and cubeoctahedral geometric structures, is well founded in hard math, and can also be found discussed in terms of sacred geometry. There is a ringing of truth somewhere in my spirit, which may explain why it’s called The Resonance Project. The idea that creation is literally spun around in a sort of double-donut shape around a center vacuum, escaping from the center ‘white’ hole and winding around the outside to be sucked in by the other side’s black hole, simply makes sense in some profound way, particularly the additional torque or spinning motion that he postulates may provide an explanation for the movement of everything from galaxies and subatomic particles, to spacetime itself. This Coriolis Effect resultant of the gravitational and electromagnetic forces at work, when balanced creates a golden spiral or phi ratio. These concepts are finding their way around the noosphere in various forms and via various paths; Richard Merrick wrote a good article about these theories over at Reality Sandwich. The black hole/white hole idea is something I mentioned in my book four years ago, albeit nowhere near this level of thought; somehow it resonated with me (no pun intended), as I imagine it could be related to the ancients’ concepts of reality itself. As Nassim says, it explains why and how the Universe is both expanding and contracting at the same time. It explains where the energy is coming from. In fact it may explain the very meaning of life itself, the existence of the Universe and the enigma of the void of subatomic space. As above, so below.

In the beginning was the Tao. All things issue from it; all things return to it.”

- Tao Te Ching #52

After this new information began to seep in, I started to wonder what implications this would have for consciousness itself, so I wasn’t too surprised to find this radio interview. It’s clear Nassim also can’t help but realize the amazing possibility that consciousness plays an important role in the fundamental structure of spacetime. Kudos to him; though I’m sure it must be why orthodox science is not so quick to accept such new ideas. Unfortunately in orthodox science, genius is often recognized much later, but for those of us already out here on the fringe, it is a very welcome development. I keep thinking about our alignment with the galactic plane on the winter solstice in 2012, which I’ve mentioned here before, the end of the Mayan fourth sun on that date as well as our current place along the precession of the equinoxes: just now beginning to enter the Aquarian age, beginning the Great Cycle anew, and again.

Is the ancients’ concept of the Great Ages perhaps a more complete wisdom than we realize? Could our very state of consciousness be poised to transverse some integral dimensional edge along this Great Donut of Enlightenment? Are we about to enter the Event Horizon?

Nassim Haramein himself said, “”Everything we see in the Universe is the infinity of the energy density of the vacuum in various scales. The biological resolution is the link between the large and the small. You are the event horizon. Instead of seeing yourself as an insignificant little dot that means nothing to the Universe, you start to see yourself as the center of creation. Everyone else is the center of their Universe as well. And thus we are all equal and we’re all one.”

“Scientists say that time travel could be a reality in just three months.”

Notwithstanding that unapologetically paradoxical statement, one cannot help but entertain vivid Dr. Who fantasies of a blue phone booth swirling and landing in the neighborhood. Is it really time?

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, Switzerland, the world’s largest particle accelerator, is set to be activated in May of this year. Scientists imagine it could reveal the shape of alternate dimensions. That is exciting enough when one considers other recent news that the Ophiuchus cluster, at the heart of our galaxy, is emitting highly energetic X-rays which has turned it into a giant particle accelerator. If our relatively tiny model is expected to reveal such powers, what could Ophiuchus bring?

Many alternate researchers like John Major Jenkins believe our alignment with the galactic plane on the winter solstice in 2012, a once-every-26,000-year-event, will somehow enable a transformation of consciousness. Could these Super X-Rays be just what the Doctor ordered in terms of opening stargates to the next dimension? Have science and spirituality come close enough for us to sense some kind of truth to that?

And if so, what should we think of the news that some Russian scientists suggest that the scientists at CERN, in their endeavor to create micro-wormholes, or ‘mini’ black holes, could instead have built the world’s first time machine? They posit that time traveling is only possible as far back as the point of creation of the first time machine. That would make 2008 “Year Zero”, and we could see visitors from the future begin to appear. With Ophiuchus in mind, the musings of the Daily Galaxy give me pause, “Even the most massive human experiment is a pale imitation of the galactic-sized particle accelerators that fire cosmic radiation at us daily, and with all that high-energy activity in the sky if techno-mutants from the year Q4099 did want to invade they wouldn’t have to hang around supercooled Genevese caverns to do it.”

Indeed. It’s quite possible we are already entertaining travelers from the future, and simply don’t know it; one need only consider the Butterfly Effect or various temporal paradoxes to understand why. Posthuman Blues had this to say about the mainstream skepticism of time travel, “Stephen Hawking has used the same argument. If time travel is possible, he maintains, we should see a steady influx of “tourists” from our own future. This reasoning is easily as limited as the assumption that ET visitors will “land on the White House lawn” if they happen to visit.”

Some claim to have accidentally slipped through time. The Philadelphia Experiment was supposedly haunted by timeline inconsistencies, and the Montauk Project contains similar claims. Here’s another interesting article about a temporal vortex discovered by scientists in Antarctica. For more about the possibilities of time travel, watch this excellent lecture by theoretical physicist Paul Davies. The bending of space-time and the illusion of particle physics in the first place beg our attention, and that of our greatest scientific minds.

One wonders if there really will be any sort of great change on that winter solstice moment in 2012, or if we are perhaps already beginning to feel the effects of a gradual transformation, as we move closer to the alignment. Perhaps the news at CERN is no coincidence in terms of timing. We’ve grown more willing to entertain the possibility; whether in terms of science or spirituality, we are in fact energetic conduits of consciousness, and our location in the galaxy could fast-forward our readiness to explore new territory and open the door to the unknown. A Kean Eye suggests galactic ‘thought particle accelerators’ explain the recent exponential growth in science and technology; I think that sums it up quite nicely.

On the other hand, it could be the key to our undoing as well. I couldn’t help but notice that Project Camelot’s article on 2008, which mentions time travelers as well as the mind-blowing chronovisor, stated that, “According to Dan Burisch, in testimony which we regard as credible, the future humans’ best evaluation of the catastrophe which befell their ancestors (i.e. us) was that it was caused by micro-wormholes in space-time which caused effects which were inadvertently and devastatingly amplified by man-made stargates and time-portal ‘Looking Glass’ devices.” They are assured that the devices in question have been disabled, successfully averting that catastrophic timeline.

Of course one does not take Project Camelot’s words as gospel; even they caution against that. However I do pay attention when I just happen to stumble on the word “micro-wormhole” more than once on the same day. And I will continue to pay attention to the news out of Switzerland this spring. Our future is fragile enough as it is.

“I believe that the World Wide Web is, as a matter of fact, the noogenesis of the noosphere.” - Ralph Abraham, The Evolutionary Mind (1988)

Lawrence Hagerty wrote in The Spirit of the Internet,“…the Internet is not the noosphere. It is merely an infrastructure that is now available for the noosphere to use.” Hagerty goes on to profess, “I believe that the Internet is serving as just such an attractor, or basin of attraction, drawing the Earth’s most creative minds into a synergistic union out of which a new form of human consciousness can arise from the wells of chaos.“

The noosphere is a term created by Jesuit priest/radical thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose ideas were frankly force-fed to me in college in the eighties (I happened to attend a Jesuit university where he was practically worshiped as a god). For that reason perhaps I wrongly assumed his teachings were more widespread than they actually were at the time. But I find no uncertain irony that his ideas continue to haunt my own delightfully synchronous journey towards Singularity.

Not the technological singularity of Ray Kurzweil; I’m talking more about what’s happening over at Reality Sandwich, and other important, alternative think tanks of our time. “New science” is termed thusly because, reminiscent of Capra’s intuitions of decades past, scientific discoveries are merged with new (and perhaps very old) interpretations of consciousness. This is how it should be; the Newtonian universe must ultimately be discarded in favor of the quantum discoveries that tickle our brains, easing us into new frontiers of existence, consciousness and human evolution. The homo cyber I find mentioned here and there, if left alone in the wilderness of pure artificial or mechanistic intelligence, would be the unfortunate result of not taking the final step of this process. Like refusing to take the red pill, our psyches would be left to rot inside the prison Matrix of third dimensional space-time. “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy,” reminds Shakespeare.

The Internet may be Noosphere 1.0, a precursor to an enlightened state of consciousness; or perhaps, Noosphere for Beginners, or Noosphere for Dummies. Though arguably a creation of Big Brother’s sinister and eavesdropping omnipresence, the Internet is also being used, perfectly a la Tao, as a vehicle to transmit thoughts and ideas in preparation for a purely telepathic noosphere. The next several years its role will be vastly influential in terms of the global progression of consciousness, and I urge all to participate as they can until then (or until the government curtails this freedom, much as it has done with suppressing entheo
