			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The UN made a recent advance in its position on humanity&#8217;s relationship to Outer Space Affairs, and the subtext is finely coincidental at best.</p>
<p>Both the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/8025832/UN-to-appoint-space-ambassador-to-greet-alien-visitors.html#dsq-content">Telegraph</a> and <a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-09/27/alien-ambassador">Wired</a>, as well as other, reported on the appointment of Malaysian astrophysicist, Mazlan Othman, to the Director position of the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs.  &#8221;M. Othman&#8221; jokes and &#8216;<em>They</em> don&#8217;t exist&#8217; were the low-hanging fruit of the forums this day.  Naturally, the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h2X5sgH2dbj7pr8dGdlrOQ_IsF7A?docId=CNG.ae1f52f284fe7bdc61d108d598765e69.151">UN made speedy statement</a> against the matter.  It wasn&#8217;t a redaction by any means, though, and only made an ambiguous attack-of-quality that the report was &#8220;nonsense.&#8221;   Good to know, mates.  Where would anyone get an idea like that?  See if you can spot anything in a recent statement regarding her appointment:</p>
<blockquote><p>She is scheduled to tell delegates, of the Royal Society’s Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire, that the recent discovery of hundreds of planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more likely than ever before – and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate humanity’s response to any “first contact”.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Telegraph, if not the Nerd-Couture Guarde at Wired, deserve some journalistic credit for not running pulp.  They did, after all, have the chutzpah to publish an article on John <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/diana/7446929/Princess-Diana-book-claims-her-driver-was-framed.html">Morgan&#8217;s book re-opening consideration on the murder of Princess Diana.</a> We have to assume that someone(s), somewhere, made proud on the matter that the UN&#8217;s OSA was creating a formal position for space ambassadorship&#8230; you know, just in case.  One cannot make a shirt but of whole cloth.  The knee-jerk reply is really just standard procedure to matters of cultural controversy.</p>
<p>This is a great way to gauge public response to interaction with real aliens.  Even if none exist or have ever contacted our government(s).  The UN&#8217;s statement on the matter is sound Game Theory with through the voice of PR.  Something special can be calculated here.</p>
<p>The people that are OK with alien existence seem to be rather OK with it.  Stephen Hawking, one of the worlds most public &amp; figurehead scientists, and highly regarded by the bofins and other skeptical authorities of the scientific method, makes an appellation to change the minds of the aliens-don&#8217;t-exist thinkers.  Yet, stalwarts doth remain.</p>
<p>People that think aliens don&#8217;t exist would have one or another form of break-down upon demonstration otherwise.  Besides fear / aggressions, catatonia, some will experience a form of pleasure, another reaction of break-down could be Allegiance.  Terrorist cels at a whole new level; humans acting against humans on the notion of currying favor with aliens.  The pinnacle of self-loathing and escapism.  I wonder if there exists psychological profiles to estimate how an resistant individual will likely react post-revelation.</p>
<p>A few interesting pieces of context exist, for the context of human&#8217;s current and active relationship to space-faring races.  The fist, because it&#8217;s my favorite story, comes from EarthFiles.com founder Linda Moulton Howe &#8211; who told of meeting a retiree of the US DIA, whose official capacity was to <a href="http://www.earthfiles.com/">&#8220;monitor the changes in geo-political divisions between non-humans living on the Earth.&#8221;</a> ~Spectacular~</p>
<p>My finely-coincidental matter is the location of the UNO OSA&#8217;s 27 staff in the city of Vienna.  During 3rd Reich-controlled times surrounding WWII (1940), Vienna was the place of Viktor Schauberger&#8217;s anti-gravity research.  I&#8217;m sure any public reports on the matter are apocryphal, if not non-existent at this point (beyond books).  Those that witnessed <a href="http://peswiki.com/index.php/PowerPedia:Viktor_Schauberger">Schauberger&#8217;s repulsine</a> pull from its moorings and engine crash through the ceiling of a factory did ultimately put him &#8216;well beyond the map&#8217; with Hitler, and ensured his detention in New Mexico US following the arrival of Allied forces.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not as though this is the first serious public discussion of <a href="http://news.discovery.com/space/ufos-spying-on-our-nukes-airmen-claim.html">alien relations with humanity</a>.  The Disclosure Project, who coordinated the first US National Press Club gathering on the topic of exo-political, yet still(?) offers seminars on <a href="http://www.disclosureproject.org/email-update-october-19-2009.shtml">extraterrestrial contact protocols</a>.  Comparatively, <a href="http://www.openminds.tv/french-ufo-report-081610/">reports by the French 3AF</a> are just teasers.</p>
<p>As long as the movies keep showing us that humanity will react awkwardly, or downright poorly, to contact with non-human sentience, exo-political offices will remain the stuff of official PR control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">This posting comes from &#8216;guest write&#8217; David White, who I have been sharing the pleasure of excellent conversations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I&#8217;m thinking more lately about telluric currents, and I’m remembering about the distinction you made between telluric currents and ley lines.<span> </span>That being, telluric currents flow vertically up and down within the earth, from core to surface, as opposed to ley lines which flow horizontally across the earth’s crust.<span> </span>I really liked that distinction and I really (no, REALLY!) want that to be true, but, alas, both Wikipedia and Britannica say otherwise:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span class="owner"><span><span>· </span></span></span><span class="owner">“natural electric current flowing on and beneath the surface of the Earth and generally following a direction parallel to the Earth’s surface.” </span><span class="owner"><a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/586372/telluric-current">(Britannica.com)</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span lang="EN">“(telluric) currents are extremely low frequency and travel over large areas at or near the surface of Earth.<span> </span>…flow in the surface layers of the earth.<span> </span>…move between each half of the terrestrial globe… equator-ward (daytime) and pole-ward (nighttime).<span> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current">(Wikipedia.com)</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the same time, I&#8217;m perfectly willing to believe that there are such currents which flow vertically up and down within the earth. In fact, I <em>want</em> these to exist because their existence would lend credence to a personal pet theory of mine (which I&#8217;m sure you’ve already surmise). And, I would infer from your statement, that from personal experience/research/dowsing, you <em>know</em> them to exist.<span> </span>Nevertheless, for sake of clarity and to avoid obfuscation within scientific/engineering circles, you’d probably have to call them something other than “telluric” currents since that word is already taken for currents running horizontally just below the surface.<span> </span>As I write this sentence, the more ancient and mythic “chthonic” comes to mind. As <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/telluric">telluric</a>, from the Latin, <span class="SpellE"><em>tellūs</em></span>, for earth; so <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chthonic">chthonic</a> from the Greek, <span class="SpellE"><em>khthōn</em></span>, also earth, but more specifically the interior of the soil, distinct from <em>Gaia</em>, the surface of the land.<span> </span>Moreover, <span class="SpellE"><em>k<span>hthonios</span></em></span>, meaning &#8220;in, under, or beneath the earth&#8221;, referring to earthy and subterranean, and designating deities or spirits of the underworld in Greek religion.<span> </span>[Sure, I know you know all this, I just had to get it out.]</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, as to the electrical nature of telluric currents… I was skeptical reading <a href="http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/earth-energy-kirchner.htm">Robert Neil Boyd</a> (largely because most of what RNB writes is largely unintelligible). Nevertheless…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span>“The </span></em><em><span>earth energies observed by the engineers of telegraphy and telephony in the mid-1800s behaved exactly like the powerfully surging earth currents&#8230;<span> </span>The engineers observed earth power so enormous it could not be attributed to electrostatic accumulations, nor to the weak electrical strains induced in ground systems by <span class="SpellE">auroral</span> discharges….</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There’s obvious hyperbole here, but some core of it is<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current"> borne out by Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>“</em><em><span lang="EN">Telluric currents can be harnessed to produce a useful low voltage current by means of ‘earth batteries.’ Such devices were used for telegraph systems in the United States as far back as 1859.”</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you kidding me?!?<span> </span>A century and a half ago they’d figured out how to power telegraphs across the western wastelands from telluric currents???<span> </span>Who knew?!?!<span> </span>So RNB isn’t completely unreliable. Which gives me just a tiny bit of hope regarding his grander, more mythic claims:</p>
<p><em><span>“These currents were fiery and potent. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">World-connecting energies</span> of vast, mysterious, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">intelligent</span> content.<span> </span>According to the alchemists, Kirchner, and many of the engineers of the mid 1800s, these energetic flows were <span style="text-decoration: underline;">direct representatives of Creation</span>, direct <span style="text-decoration: underline;">evidence of the Divine in operation</span>.<span> </span>…contained in these energies were <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the awesome secrets of the processes of Creation</span>, the Power by which <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the real world was both constantly generated, and sustained</span>. Those enterprising engineers who endeavored to draw their communicative power from the Telluric currents, found themselves engaged in surpassing technologies, empowered by <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the world-generative Source</span>.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></span></em></p>
<p><span>Okay, so now we’re talking the creation of worlds and the sustaining of reality. Pretty big stuff.<span> </span>But if we go back, and accept the notion that telluric currents are spiritual in nature, in addition to being legitimately electrical, then their “world-generative” nature is not too far afield.<span> </span>And this is where water comes in, specifically the waters of Genesis, of the uncreated world, and how separating water is what creates and perpetuates the world.<span> </span>Compare the Hebrew elements…</span></p>
<p><span>verse 1:<span> </span>God created <span class="SpellE"><em>shamayim</em></span> and </span><em><span>&#8216;<span class="SpellE">erets</span></span></em><span>.</span><span></span></p>
<p><span>verse 2:<em><span> </span>’<span class="SpellE">erets</span></em> was f</span><span>ormless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep; Spirit of God hovers over the <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span>.</span></p>
<p><span>verse 6:<span> </span>God said, &#8220;Let there be an expanse between the <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span> to separate <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span> from <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span>.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span>verse 7:<span> </span>God made the expanse and separated the <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span> under the expanse from the <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span> above it.</span></p>
<p><span>verse 8:<span> </span>G</span><span>od</span><span> </span><span>called</span><span> the expanse <span class="SpellE"><em>shamayim</em></span></span><span>.</span><span></span></p>
<p><span>verse 9:<span> </span>God said, &#8220;Let the <span class="SpellE"><em>mayim</em></span> under the <span class="SpellE"><em>shamayim</em></span> be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>with the <span class="SpellE">Heliopolitan</span> cosmology of Egyptian Old Kingdom…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span>The pre-creational world was depicted as a deep, boundless, uncreated, watery mass. This is Nun, the abyss or chaos.<span> </span>The primordial waters are beyond turmoil because no opposition or movement occurs in this undifferentiated inertia.<span> </span>Nun is the passive, inert, undifferentiated set of all possibilities, which is not the same thing as an absolute non-existence, emptiness or void. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">For in Nun (water) lies the capacity to create eternal repetition</span>, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">foundation of order and creation as a whole</span>.</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span><span> </span><span class="SpellE">Nun</span> existed before the world was created. It was a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">body of water</span> that contained divine entities whose potential (and form) had not yet been realized. There was darkness, inertia, and chaos. The appearance of a solid area on the surface of Nun, the primordial mound or egg, begins transition from a formless state to a structured one.<span> </span>This phenomenon triggered a dynamic that culminates in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">construction of the Universe</span>… at which point <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the primordial waters receded to the edge of perceptible reality</span>. These waters <span style="text-decoration: underline;">continued to surround the created world, threatening to overwhelm it and return it to an inert state</span>. The material and immaterial <span style="text-decoration: underline;">structure of the Universe</span> thus served as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a rampart to prevent this apocalyptic cataclysm</span>.<span> </span>…</span></em><span>Gods, kings and men worked jointly to insure the perpetuity of (the) realms, of everything found in them&#8230;.<span> </span>Egyptian imagery thus functioned as one vector of the necessary and sufficient <span style="text-decoration: underline;">task of perpetuating the Universe</span>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>So RNB/Kirchner seem to be writing from the same mythic source as both Egyptian and Hebrew creation myth when he speaks of telluric (or perhaps more to our point “chthonic”) currents as</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span>“direct representatives of Creation”</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span>“evidence of the Divine in operation”.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span>containing “the awesome secrets of the processes of Creation”</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span>“the Power by which the real world was both constantly generated and sustained”</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span>· </span></span><span>“empowered by the world-generative Source”</span><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>It’s a curious side note that <em>“…these specific Creative energies could only be summoned by direct contact with the ground at special sites, which were held to be Sacred Land.<span> </span>The Victorians prized locations deep within the Earth… numerous arcane grottos, and magical caverns…”<span> </span></em>to which we might add enchanted pools and sacred wells. All places of water.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Ultimately, if you pull all these threads together, you come to the preposterous question:<span> </span>“Is the world/creation somehow sustained because the energy found telluric/chthonic currents continues keep the firmament in place (i.e.: maintains the structure of universe), thus holding back the waters of chaos/inertia from overwhelming<span> </span>us all into itself?“</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_47" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.newalexandria.org/thinking/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/wild-china-appears.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-47 " title="wild-china-appears" src="http://www.newalexandria.org/thinking/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/wild-china-appears-300x175.jpg" alt="4chan calls wormsign on the Wild China" width="300" height="175" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">4chan calls wormsign on the Wild China</p></div>
<p>Let me start by saying that I have a general predisposition to the notion that the way that we think and act has an influence on the events we come to live &#8211; a law of consequences that allows for stuff <a title="research of the PEAR lab and ICRL" href="http://www.icrl.org" target="_blank">outside of the stringent idioms of Science</a>.</p>
<p>So when 4chan spawned a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme" target="_blank">meme</a> of (Japanese) <a title="A Wild China Appears!" href="http://www.laughinggame.com/2008/07/29/a-wild-china-appears/" target="_blank">pokémon raising an overactive China</a>, I had the sense that this was part of a &#8216;species&#8217; of memes that identifies semi-structures, or emergent, patterns in worldly events.</p>
<p>Mostly, it pulls on the story of the over-large thing falling to supernatural forces &#8211; like the <a title="the hidden weakness" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles'_heel" target="_blank">heel of Achilles</a>.  It may play part in a larger pattern of ultimatum, such as the <a title="babel != babylon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel" target="_blank">destruction of the Tower of Babylon</a>, the <a title="we lift our lamp...." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria#Destruction_of_the_Library" target="_blank">burned Library at Alexandria</a>, or the <a title="crystal power has an achilles heal..." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis" target="_blank">&#8216;sinking&#8217; of Atlantis</a>.  The root of pattern may be seen as an un-wield-able degree of energy passing through a thing &#8211; &#8216;the biggest thing&#8217; &#8211; destroying it.  Such a principle also is represented in Chinese Taoist theory, of an excess of one thing inverting into its opposite.  As well with the <a title="Gardener's 'Genesis of the Grail Kings'" href="http://www.goroadachi.com/etemenanki/mystery-babylon.htm" target="_blank">shem-tower</a> in Babylon, it lacked <a title="&quot;Whom does the grail serve?&quot;" href="http://home.iae.nl/users/lightnet/creator/holygrail.htm" target="_blank">sufficient coherence of virtue</a> to transmit the divine energy which it was built to otherwise conduct.</p>
<p>In this case, little island Japan – with its <a title="can gojira monsutā fit into my poketto?" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla" target="_blank">legendary monsters</a> and <a title="gotta catch 'em all" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokemon" target="_blank">modern evolution of them</a> &#8211;  hold an interesting relationship to mainland China.  Indeed, this article is no place for a recap of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan#Culture_and_recreation" target="_blank">cultural</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan#Science_and_technology" target="_blank"> influence</a> and <a title="messy history" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China_–_Japan_relations" target="_blank">political differentiation</a>.  The notion of Japanese pokémon laying waste to over-striving People&#8217;s Republic of China hold enough &#8216;mythological water&#8217; to slip deep into the domain of active memetics.</p>
<p>The notion that there is a &#8216;species&#8217; of memes that participate in the emergence of worldly trends is a concept that I&#8217;m growing under the banner of the &#8220;Zabadogodagon&#8221; &#8211; a collection of the emergent forms that transcend human law into natural / given law.  Their mechanics in the physical world has growing recognition in <a title="REGs from the PEAR lab" href="http://www.psyleron.com/" target="_blank">mind-matter systems</a>, <a title="thanks Roger" href="http://noosphere.princeton.edu/" target="_blank">global consciousness research</a>, <a title="Radin's emotionality test" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/2596201/Dean-Radin-Timereversed-human-experience-Experimental-evidence-and-implications" target="_blank">retro-causality</a>, and even the <a title="you'll be surprised how convincing it feels" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worlds_in_Collision#Core_ideas" target="_blank">wilder sides of plasma</a> <a title="you'll be surprised how convincing it feels" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worlds_in_Collision#Core_ideas" target="_blank">cosmology</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Speigel ran an <a title="Matriarchal customs of Mosuo" href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,627363,00.html" target="_blank">interesting article</a> on the matriarchal society in Mosuo, China.  Among the many comforting notions of no war, liberated sexuality, and other social comforts one is left with the distinct sense that men are a bit under-developed.  In the absence of challenges, the portrayal of men does not leave any sense of the kingly qualities that man, at his fullest and most noble, is capable.</p>
<p>The discussion of the timeline of gender-rule in societies is long-winded, with Femninsm of the past few decades leading the charge in questioning the mechanisms involved.  Many scholars, <a title="Terrence McKenna" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna" target="_blank">to the fringe</a>, have argued that the oldest cultures were matriarchal &#8211; many citing primate studies.   Given the biological foundation of womb-birth, this is not unreasonably evolutionary.  However, neither than may be the &#8216;ongoing R&amp;D&#8217; that is patriarchal leadership.  </p>
<p>The female organism, being self and socially interested in selecting the best father for progeny, would be most inclined to find men less than their individual equal.  It&#8217;s statistical &#8211; men, having less duty of necessity, would also have less development <em>opportunity</em>.  What&#8217;s a girl to do if she already has the best mousetrap?  Build a better mouse.</p>
<p>And so arrives the invention of Patriarchy.  The handing of leadership to men so that they refine themselves beyond the bio-cultural baseline.  What better man to select than one who can rule (nearly, &#8216;haha&#8217;) as well as a woman?  </p>
<p>Why are young men sent off to war?  Perhaps to weed out the ones who fight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to start a <em>consideration</em>.</p>
<p>Starting today, be very considerate of what water you drink.  <a href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm" target="_blank">Water has a memory</a>, and can be encoded with states of life &#8211; an essence that affects all in which it later comes in contact.  Alien species, looking to establish their position upon the Earth, would have the option to affect the water.  By encoding it with their intent, an alien species could begin to expose us to their presence &#8211; their nature &#8211; what it means for their energy to be here on the Earth.  By exposing humans in this way the aliens become &#8216;de-alienized&#8217; – so that subsequent exposure to them is less shocking.</p>
<p>Such a water encoding programme may also occur with certain intent.  It is possible, and perhaps inevitable, that the hopes, fear, ambitions, vices, beauties, and other natures of an alien species would enter the memory of water.  Whether benign or malevolent, any person would be wise to consider what it is that make them human, and what it is that makes them the being as which they understand themselves.  These things may be under tectonic forces as we would become exposed to alien energies.</p>
<p>Know that you have the ability to chose what comes into your system unaltered, and what will transmute alchemically prior to entry.  Your ritualization and intent will determine the structure of your system.  </p>
<p>Consider that any product line, name brand, or other source of water may come from the orchestrations of an alien species.</p>
