“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.
Prophecy is a difficult subject for me, not because I think it’s not possible, but simply because there are so many false voices out there that a lot of disinformation and propaganda gets let in through the open doors. I mean, how many times have people set a date for the end of the world in the past? Don’t get me started on that one.
On the other hand, I do believe many people will be able to determine without much difficulty some of the likely events that are to come. It doesn’t take a psychic to see there will probably be another really big, terrible “terrorist” attack sometime in the near future. All you have to do is read the news.
It’s also pretty clear we are being groomed for world government. Right now, fear is being used to great advantage towards that goal. However, and unfortunately, so is love and what people see as “doing the right thing”. For example, some believe environmental issues are one way to manipulate us into accepting world government. I mentioned in a past post that immigration is noted by some as a machination for the North American Union, which is one stop closer to world government. After watching some of Michael Moore’s new Sicko, I realized with at start that the health care issue will likely be another turning point in that debate. Clever, they are.
At some point, we will be so fatigued from war,
terrorist threats, economic hardship, weather-related disasters,
hunger, poverty and whatever other such things you can think of, that
the world will begin to clamor for a strong world union that will make all those issues as well as health care, environmental pollution and even religious division a thing of the past. The EU is quite far along on this path, and North America, Asia and Africa are close behind. I know; it sounds good,
but if you don’t think all of those things and more have been a result
of the machinations of the world’s elite for decades and even centuries
(and that the roots are based in suspicious religious symbology)
in order to fulfill their goal of ultimate power, you have a lot of
reading to do. It’s not secret any longer; it’s just not discussed
every night on CNN. I pay attention when people like Bob Woodward warn
us about the “secret government.” They are hard at work immantentizing the eschaton.
The hardest part will be, the new order won’t seem bad. In fact it will seem the very essence of love, peace and harmony. The elites will most likely sacrifice many of their own organizations in order to fulfill this part of their plan. And many others are already being formed in the name of saving the planet. It will be easy to manipulate the masses with such a scam, especially if they are weary, hungry and sick - or even devastated by a worldwide catastrophe like nuclear war or a polar shift. In such a scenario, many who are against microchipping now will cave and take the mark. And you don’t have to be a believer in the book of Revelation to be suspicious of that.
By that time I, and many others like me, will likely be erased from the Internet. That is why I feel it’s important to pass on these thoughts now. I’m not claiming to be a prophet or setting any dates; I’m only saying what I think many others could see too, simply if they read history and today’s headlines. I can’t say how many years it will take. 2012 casts a big shadow, but I’m not putting my money there or anywhere. When I search my spirit, though, I am warned that time is very short. This will be dealt with in our generation. The agenda is gaining momentum, and personally I give it only a few years, if that.
I’m not sure why I feel so moved to warn that these things may happen. I feel if I can do anything besides, it would be to provide moral support, because no matter what happens, it will still be all good. Though I deny my insights are any deeper or greater than anyone else’s, nor can I prove it to anyone, I will share that I have had personal experiences that have led me to Know that we are destined for a bright and wonderful future where these powers-that-be don’t exist. Just keep walking and Know, this too will pass. Meanwhile keep Surfing the Tao. Live in love, but pay attention. Have no fear, but don’t wallow in ignorance. Prepare and protect your loved ones. Simply Knowing these things will set us free in a way we cannot even begin to imagine right now.
“Those who try to control, who use force to protect their power, go against the direction of the Tao.” -Tao Te Ching, #77
“Surfing the Tao” is a phrase created in an attempt to nutshell what could be the most important aspect of spiritual truth, or the Way of Life. A reader once sent me a great quote, “It is a lot like surfing... you catch a wave by being prepared, timing your move and having your board in position. Like surfing, you have some control, but the Flow has all the power.” Since I live in Hawaii the analogy seemed appropriate; and indeed there is a certain zen to the sport.
If you’re just hearing about “Surfing the Tao” here are a few bullet points. It’s not about any particular religion; it’s about how we choose to live each moment, although it does contain spiritual concepts from all corners of the world. We can argue endlessly about who is ‘right’ – but in so doing we could be missing the point. Each person has their own path to walk, and we all find truth in our own ways. However, as our greatest sages have remarked, eventually our paths will all converge on the Great Path.
Our great spiritual teachers have all encouraged love in the search for enlightenment. Many have defined “God” (or Tao, Father, Force, Beloved, Brahman, Great Spirit; whatever) as that flowing consciousness of love, the goal being to become “one” with this Force. So the basic idea of “Surfing the Tao” is choosing love for direction of your actions. The truth is simple – not easy, but simple. Still your mind and instead listen to your spiritual nature, that which is connected to the Tao, the Force. Allow the Tao to flow through you, and hop on for the ride of your life. Use various methods – you can use a long board or a short board, right-footed or left, but you’re still allowing the wave to carry you.
Surfing is an individual sport, and Surfing the Tao is a silent, inner revolution of spirit. The outer world will not provide the whole answer. Truth is within you; amplify the Voice by tuning in to love. Then, one person at a time, we can change our reality to one of peace and harmony.Surfing the Tao.com
