Darkness Is Upon Us – lessons from the Isle of Reality

 

Humans have a tendency to make a whole lot of assumptions. It’s almost as if it were in our nature (and I think that it is of course). We make assumptions about others. This can be a tactic of survival and in that way it may be important, as long as it’s not taken too far. One of the most critical things I have ever learned in this life was an idea of Steven Covey. He recommends that when you are in conversation with another person, and the other person is talking to you, you should simply listen and try to understand what they are saying. Easy enough, right? In other words, while the other person is talking, don’t be thinking of your response. Doesn’t that just seem polite? Think about it though… you do, do this! We all do. But training yourself to listen, really listen, is the mark of real respect.

No, we’re too interested in making our point. Too interested in what WE have to say. Not what others want to say!

Ok, the point here? It is in the nature of man/woman to be self interested. We like what we think. It’s a part of how we organize our reality. And more directly to the point concerning this article, you see it all the time in the Sciences. Here’s how it works: A scientist comes up with a theory, sounds good to him or her, then they defend it. They defend it via research, statistics or what ever means they can. Of course I understand; The idea/theory is often related or attached to their careers and their income – their life’s work (and huge student loans!). I do empathize. But the fact of the matter is, we are here to learn, not to try and be experts on any or everything, or boast our “ideas”.

I started concentrating so hard on my vision that I lost sight.” Robin Green

There’s an old Jewish Proverb that says, “What you don’t see with your eyes, don’t invent with your mouth.” I guess it makes sense that we have two ears and only one mouth! We should listen a whole lot more.

Now closer to the point. Can anyone send me a picture of a black hole? What about a little Dark Matter? What about a picture of one of those newly discovered planets that they say orbit a distant star? A picture… anyone?

Sometime back in our history, we started adding up ideas, putting together things without personal witness. I know… you can say, “Just because I can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there!” Of course, I’m really not just stupid! Well… maybe I am (Ha!). There’s plenty of folks smarter than me! But smarter doesn’t always mean that you have all the answers, or are wiser than a person with a lower I.Q.. But our tendency, especially in this culture… again that “nature of man” thing comes in… we like to believe ourselves better, smarter, and faster than the other guy; Competition you know. So when you have a fellow that has years and years of organized formal education, a PhD, maybe several degrees, they usually begin to think that they are better and smarter than the rest, humility flees. These are of course absolutisms. We must avoid thinking this way, thinking that we are so important. It will lead to the self destruction of our species.

Throughout history scientists have had ideas about the nature of reality and the universe. They have espoused their ideas in theories and in research where they controlled the outcome. But that practice became too transparent. The mistakes of their research and hypotheses became too easy to topple. So they came up with a great tool to save their philosophies. They paired mathematics with their ideas of the universe, using numbers and equations to defend ridiculous ideas. They came up with incredible theories: The Big Bang, Black Holes, and one of the latest postulations, Dark Matter. All of these, mathematical postulates.

In 1933 Fritz Zwicky applied a perfectly good idea, the Virial Theorem to the motion of galaxies and came up with the dark matter idea. He saw that the galaxies were being affected by something that didn’t fit the theory of the motion of the mass of the galaxies. Thus Dark Matter was invented to explain this motion or energy.

The largest part of dark matter, which does not interact with electromagnetic radiation, is not only “dark” but also, by definition, utterly transparent. As important as dark matter is believed to be in the cosmos, direct evidence of its existence and a concrete understanding of its nature have remained elusive. Though the theory of dark matter remains the most widely accepted theory to explain the anomalies in observed galactic rotation, some alternative theoretical approaches have been developed which broadly fall into the categories of modified gravitational laws, and quantum gravitational laws.” Wikipedia on Dark Matter

It’s like saying that when I saw a cup fall off the table and watched it break on the floor, it must’ve been pushed off the table by a ghost. Alright, maybe a little more complex than that and with a lot more sophisticated jargon. But the basic idea is the same. Zwicky called it the “missing mass problem”. The gravity is there, so it must be caused by something we can’t see… Ah ha! Dark Matter! The perfect name for it! (Remember they have a very hard time with the concept of EMF in the universe).

When you start trying to understand all of this: Dark Matter, The Big Bang, and Background Microwave Energy… the language changes. The language is difficult, “made up”, convoluted and if you do not speak it, you cannot enter the all-men’s club. The club is built upon the bones of embarrassed and forgotten scientists of long ago fame, crushed in the machinations of the new, lost in the pages of endless written research. This is a subculture burrowed into the senseless brain tissue of the millions of followers they have cultivated over years of dogma, employing the money of the rich. Yes, attractive to many, just as decaying flesh is to flies, it lures the ignorant into its enticements. Two ears one mouth. The senses are dangerous tools in the hands of amateurs. And we must admit, most of us are amateurs. With golden tongues and a full serving of pride for the miserable losers of this deplorable and retched world, they enchant us and lead us surely into darkness.

These magicians will not lead us to truth. This is not the way of Initiation.
