Our Radically Changing Understanding of the Human Timeline and Experience

How The Telepathy Tapes podcast aligns with many findings that interest us but go largely unreported, leaving many unfamiliar with our rapidly changing understanding of "the human experience."

Money, war, religion, markets, geopolitics, social dynamics, the human condition, and societal implications. As everyone with a platform spends their time hyperfocused on single issues that draw you in, this is my attempt to step back to show the larger picture (and potential implications or concerns).

The ever-changing media cycle seems built to give us the attention spans of fruit flies - but there are issues that we should take the time to focus on and understand.

These are those issues.

Introduction: What, Where, How Old Are We, and What Does It Mean to be Human?

As with many of the topics of these Substack posts, something has jumped into the zeitgeist of society or public awareness as a “new thing” that just happens to be one (or a collection of) thing(s) that I’ve been looking into/at for quite some time.

And as with many of the previous topics that we’ve delved into together, while it seems to be one thing on its face and at the most micro level, there is a “common thread” and more macro view of this thing (The Telepathy Tapes podcast) that connects it to many other aspects of “the world as it is” that most are totally unaware of.

So let’s set the “table stakes” before we proceed for anyone who may not get that reference.

The Telepathy Tapes is a podcast that has been gaining a lot of steam and has been mentioned on some significantly large platforms by people who can often drive massive public interest.

At its most high-level, the podcast is a series of episodes that explore this not well known phenomenon in which non-verbal autistic children and adults seem to have a telepathic connection to their parents, with other non-verbal autistic children (across great distances), and sometimes with others outside of those familial or friend groups (especially their teachers).

For those who haven’t listened or who have never looked into these sorts of things, I know, it sounds crazy.

It sounds like hippy-dippy hogwash.

If that were real, certainly it would have been on the news, and studied by all of academia, and I would have known about it.

If that was a thought, or something similar to one, that went through your mind…welcome to the Shitshow, my friend.

That’s how the world should work, but not how it actually works.

Each episode of The Telepathy Tapes involves a parent/child combo who says they have this gift, and the host of the podcast, with a camera crew in tow, recording example after example of tests of different sorts (naming randomly-generated colors, numbers, words, pictures, and others) that are in the parent, siblings’, and even randomly-chosen crew members’ minds.

A podcast is obviously audio, so for the skeptics the host also made a website which has the videos of these tests being performed.

Some of the child/parent exercises show 100% accuracy, others are in the high-90s. A highly-credentialed psychologist who has been studying this phenomenon is present for and designs many of the tests. Real-time brain imaging is brought in for more evidentiary findings.

And yet every time the host asks the credentialed scientists if it’s enough evidence to be accepted by academia or “mainstream” funding & research, they just scoff and chuckle.

“No” is the straight answer. It will never be accepted by our current version of academia or research funding, no matter what tests they come up with or the evidentiary record they try to build.

For those who look into these types of things and know of the long history of anecdotal and other types of evidence that seem to indicate there is much more to the “human experience” and “human condition” than science or the mainstream consensus currently understands, it can be maddening.

One must step back and understand what “The Science™” has become to truly understand why that is.

If you’re familiar with the background of many of the “greats” of our scientific history, you know that many of them would be viewed as raging lunatics by our credentialed “scientific consensus-building establishment” these days.

Everyone from Issac Newton (an alchemist who had high levels of mercury in his hair at his death) to Charles Babbage (who took part in a paranormal research society), Nikola Tesla (believed the air could power the world), Madam Curie (died from the radiation exposure to her life’s work), and Galileo (put under house arrest for his theory of heliocentrism (sun at the center of our galaxy)) would be laughed out of the mainstream scientific world and academia today.

These people asked questions that weren’t being asked, risked things that weren’t being risked, and ventured where others didn’t dare. They sought to quantify the unquantifiable, and answer the unanswerable.

And they changed the world for it, despite the ridicule and sometimes harsh punishment they faced for their work.

Today, science is based purely on materialism. The scientific theory of materialism posits that, “all phenomena, including consciousness and mental states, can be explained entirely by physical processes and interactions of matter.”

In the holding of this theory, anything that can’t be measured or explained through its interactions with direct, observable, physical matter, can’t be “real” or investigated through the scientific method.

Unlike the greats who forged the scientific basis for much of our understanding of the world, chemistry, physics, and other aspects of our reality, they don’t even bother to look if it can’t be explained through this materialistic viewpoint.

Unfortunately that leaves a lot of phenomena that can be observed as happening, that can be replicated by those who seem to have certain “gifts” or training, but science won’t put forth an honest attempt to investigate, and funding isn’t appropriated for any effort to do so - at least not in the public, non-classified domain.

For many of the skeptics, this is the “doom loop.”

Science won’t look at it, so it must not be worth looking at it. If science won’t look at it, academia won’t teach it. If academia won’t teach it, new disciplines and potential scientific approaches to possibly look at it can’t be developed.

And if there’s no funding or mainstream consensus or discipline or studies, the media and large publishers won’t allow it to be brought to the public, so it’s relegated to YouTube channels and podcasts where only we “weirdos” venture.

I am one such weirdo who has spent most of my life feeling as if something were “missing” from our conventional explanation of the world around us, so I’m not one who has been hobbled by that connotation put on the “weirdo” corners of research or investigation.

As we will get into below, even though the popular “weirdo” connotation exists in the public space, the US Government (and others around the world) have spent a lot of time, money, and resources looking into and studying the very things that both society and mainstream academia label as “hippy dippy nonsense.”

To be clear, the receipts below won’t be given via lightly traveled weirdo internet forums - they will come via declassified memos from the CIA, DIA, DoD, DARPA, the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), and others.

But again, this stuff is not covered in the nightly news, so most people still don’t believe that it exists.

Moving away from the metaphysical and into the more physical, we can see another discipline that holds a common thread in people who are trying to find an accurate understanding of the timeline of humanity - and find themselves fighting against mainstream academia and the establishment consensus every step of the way.

There is a current, mainstream consensus within the worlds of archaeology and anthropology in which a thesis for how long humans have been around, where we came from, where and when we traveled, and our level of technological proficiency during different periods of time is about as unmoving as any thesis can be.

The problem for this thesis is that it keeps being disproved all around the world in different ways and in different places.

Holding with their focus on materialism, these consensus-holders refuse to even consider anything that can’t be directly measured, quantified, replicated, or observed as interacting with the physical world.

In their minds, cultures spread around the world who all seem to share eerily similar folklore and ancestral stories are all hocus pocus gobbledegook and old wives’ tales that aren’t worth paying attention to.

That these ancestral tales all share extremely similar themes, and similar timelines, across cultures that weren’t supposed to have any contact or communication with each other, isn’t pertinent or important to pay attention to, in their minds.

That they built giant megaliths that we can’t understand how they built, at a time when they weren’t supposed to have that technical proficiency, and that many of them have similar types of markings and representations, also isn’t pertinent.

That many also share the same sorts of stories of “learned ones” coming to their societies to help them rebuild after a great cataclysm or Deluge is somehow also not important - across cultures that, again, weren’t supposed to have any contact or communication with each other.

Back to the point of materialism, many of these archaeological and anthropological theses were built using the “mainstream” method of dating, which is carbon dating. This method cannot date stones, the materials used for many of these ancient artifacts, but requires some form of biological material that can be dated.

For those of us who understand the world as it is, this presents a problem, as things like skin, wood, fur, moss, proteins, paints, and others that can be carbon dated tend to decompose and become “ashes to ashes and dust to dust” over a long enough period of time.

If one were interested in all of the topics that we will cover below, as I am, one may find an interesting potential thread that ties all of these things - metaphysical, physical, archaeological, anthropological, and historical - together.

Let’s see if you can pick up on that thread as you read.

The Metaphysical

It took me quite a bit of internal back-and-forth to decide which of these meta-topics to put first.

Do we start with the more concrete physical so as not to scare people away with the “hippy dippy” stuff, or do we start with the metaphysical that may provide several “keys” to the currently unexplainable things that we see across the vast expanse of human history and time?

Both are fascinating, and, in my opinion, both help to answer the “Big 3” questions in my mind (what are we, what is the meaning/purpose of life, and what is God).

For those who may have felt a slight tinge of cognitive dissonance or perhaps winced at that last one, a memo that we will cover below concerning The Gateway Project includes a scientifically reasoned, but better than I’ve ever heard (for the way my brain works) definition for God, The Divine, The Creator (in all definitions by nearly all Faiths), or “The Absolute” as it is called in the memo below that actually aligns perfectly with the Biblical and apocryphal explanations, if you can understand what it’s saying.

If you’ve been following all of our Shitshow Macro posts & podcasts for at least the last several months, I really, truly, hope that you read the memo linked below - even if you don’t understand the base physics, quantum mechanics, etc.

It lays them out in a way that a layman can understand, but it’s still a lot.

I bring up our previous posts & podcasts to clue you into this term (The Absolute) and a writing that we discussed in The Splintering of Christianity post and podcast from the On Statecraft and Religion series.

If you read or listened to those, you may remember the concept of “pre-existence” that was taught by the earliest Christian Church Fathers until a synod in 550 AD ordered it to be stricken from teachings and writings.

As we still have some of the pre-synod writings of the early Church Fathers, there is one reference to pre-existence from Synesius of Cyren (who would become the Bishop of Ptolemais) that I can’t get out of my head when I read the explanations of The Absolute from the memo below:

"Father, grant that my soul may merge into the light, and be no more thrust back into the illusion of earth."

Also remember that some of his Hymns, such as number III, contain lines clearly stating his views, and also pleas that he may be so purified that rebirth on earth will no longer be necessary.

Keep that in mind as you read the memo below, and its descriptions of The Absolute.

From that series you may also remember the ancient belief structures and that of the “cosmic egg” which is depicted in numerous ancient artifacts, pictures, paintings, and Faith structures.

The “From Big Bang to Torus” section of the memo makes my brain go into hyperspace…how in the world did those people so long ago know things that we’ve only recently discovered, in terms of the timeline of our modern society?

The last line of the “Quality of Consciousness” section (which follows Big Bang to Torus) also fits in quite nicely with the two paragraphs above:

“When reality ends, its constituent energy simply returns to infinity in The Absolute.”

As I think this section (metaphysical) seeks to answer some of those biggest questions, and provides some potential answers for things that many don’t even dare ask aloud (although we’ve all had them at some point, for some reason), I feel this was the best path to venture down first.

If you’re willing to cast any potential connotations about this type of research or questioning aside, the things that you may learn by going through the links, explanations, and outlines below may change your view of what it means to be a human, and perhaps give new light to some of the parables used by Christ Jesus of Nazareth in His teachings that are espoused in the New Testament for you.

If you have any nagging feeling that this conflicts with your own internal sense of Faith, please be sure to read the memo’s last section that outlines in stark detail how none of these findings conflict with our current, widely-held ideas, beliefs, or definitions of God or The Divine, within any religious structure or definition.

It’s simply a different - and, in my opinion, more precise - way of looking at and understanding The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Monroe Institute, The Gateway Program, SRI and the USGOV’s Use of “Third Eye Spies”

There aren’t many documents, books, lessons, or learnings that I could say changed my life and evaluation of the human experience much more than this one.

A Ranger buddy shared a link to this document with me over a decade ago, and at the time it was hosted in the CIA’s “reading room,” a section of its website that is used to house de-classified or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents.

Interestingly I went on a search to find it again for this post, and I could not find it in that reading room anymore.

There were plenty of other documents and memos about The Gateway Program, but not this specific memo. The X platform’s AI model (Grok) provided a previous post from a user that had this link, which is where I got it this time.

My Ranger buddy is not the type who is prone to even thinking about this type of stuff, but is a sharp enough cookie to recognize that the physics, quantum mechanics, and biological explanations at the start of the memo that help to set the “foundation” of the things outlined afterwards were solid.

I’ve had a very interesting life path and set of experiences in my life, so by the time I was sent and read this memo, I had enough of an understanding of the many aspects that it ties together to see that there certainly was something to it.

If you are an “expert” who has spent their life specializing in one single aspect of what this memo covers, you may not be able to see the whole picture or understand how things tie together.

Personally, I feel this has been a detriment to our society overall, as our siloed approach to expertise versus the “renaissance man” and multidisciplinary expertise found in the past (“the masters” of art and architecture, the scientists mentioned above, and others) has led to a place where we have “experts” who can’t for the life of them see how things tie together outside of their silo.

Before reading this memo, I would never in a million years have guessed that one single memo would be able to tie together quantum mechanics, theoretical physics, biofeedback, Eastern vs Western mystical practices and ancient belief systems, quantum entanglement, hypnosis, meditation, the expanding universe, human biology, resonance and vibrational frequencies, and the very basis of energy and consciousness into a single, lucid train of thought.

And then I read it. And it sure enough does just that.

So here it is, the memo from a Lt Colonel to his commanders at US Army Intelligence and Security Command (USAINSCOM) explaining The Gateway Experience, how it works, why it works, and how it could be used by the USMIL.

As we will go into further, it ended up being used by the CIA, DIA, NSA, Secret Service, USMIL, FBI, NASA, and a whole host of other alphabet and law enforcement agencies for various reasons and programs.

(the above is just a screenshot of the top of the first page - the full memo is available at the link below)

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20601195/6-full-report.pdf

While this one memo ties a lot of different worlds together (science and religion, physics and meditation, biofeedback and the expanding universe, the vibrations of human consciousness and solid matter), there are elements explained in great detail here that will also carry over into all of the other things that we are going to cover in this post.

So, let’s go over some of the very, very, very high-level aspects of what is outlined in the memo linked above. I highly suggest that you read it rather than just taking this high-level explanation, because there is a lot of detail that will help you understand that I’m not just blowing smoke here.

And again, the things explained therein at the scientific level and basis help to make all of the other topics that we’ll cover in this post make sense through the lens of a potential “tie that binds it/us all.”

To begin with, there is no such thing as a truly “solid” object within our world or reality.

If you know basic chemistry or physics, you already know this. For those who don’t, when one calls an object a “solid” (versus a liquid or gas), based on our reality-based interaction with matter, we assume or mentally are trained to believe that means that the component parts which make up that object are closely and tightly knit down to the smallest levels.

But they aren’t.

The difference between a solid vs liquid or gas is simply that their energy fields and component, subatomic parts are closer together than those of a liquid or gas.

But the nuclei themselves are not “next” to each other with regard to the entire molecules that form them, nor are they “touching” each other as one would expect from the popular understanding of what it means to be a “solid” object.

Every aspect of our world, universe, and reality has its own “vibrational frequency,” equilibrium state, orbital structure, and composition. This will come into play again several times later in this post, especially with the study of Cymatics.

Also importantly, things tend to be of a fractal nature (infinitely repeating patterns or actions) across our known universe, from the most micro (subatomic) to macro (planets orbiting their suns).

The component parts of an atom each have their own frequencies, which is measurable, as do molecules made up of different atoms (a different compositional frequency as a whole than those of its component parts on their own).

The human body, and each of its component parts, likewise have their own vibrations and frequencies.

The memo goes into great detail about the vibrations emitted by the beat of the human heart, and how certain meditative practices (Zen, Kundalini, transcendental) show measurable differences in the “bifurcation echo” that flows through the human aorta and travels up the brainstem.

The earth, the ionosphere, planets, and other elements of the natural world each also have their own frequencies at which they vibrate.

The earth also has an “axial wobble” meaning that it doesn’t rotate perfectly on its axis, which we are often led to believe through artistic renditions of our planet’s rotation in the galaxy/universe.

This is why the greater cycle (26,000-year precession of the equinox) takes so long for our “starting point” of every rotation through our galaxy to get back to the start of a new cycle, even though the earth orbits the sun every 365 days (or so, given the need for leap years).

Energy acts in different ways depending on its medium, interactions, and its state of action or rest. A laser versus a lamp is one example given - both are light, but one is highly concentrated while the other is more diffuse.

Different types of energy give off different waveforms and emit at different frequencies - some are, like the laser versus lamp - focused and intense, while others are more diffuse and weak.

Some energy wave forms are extraordinarily long, wide, and can penetrate/pass through just about any form of matter. Others are intense, thinner, and focused, and can be disrupted if they encounter certain types of matter or mediums.

Again, this was a very, very, extremely high-level and 101 version of what the memo outlines, and only the most elementary scientific basis of the physics behind this stuff, but at least that aspect is integral to not turn your nose up at the next part for the more skeptical among us.

Here’s where we go into the “interesting” parts of this.

The human brain power can be measured in wattage, just like a lightbulb. We can know when that wattage is operating at higher and lower levels, measurably.

Brain activity can also be measured in terms of amplitude, i.e. frequency levels and power. They (the Monroe Institute, whose program this memo was written about) had done/does this type of measurement to track the progress and record their training.

Different types of brain functions emit different wave patterns and frequencies. For example, your brain in its normal, wakeful state is typically in the Beta-wave state, while at rest (sleep) it moves into Theta-state.

Theta waves are the longer, wider, and more expansive frequencies discussed above that can travel great distances, at speed, and not be stopped or impeded by solid matter. Beta is more narrowly focused.

The Monroe Institute figured out a way to harmonize the frequencies of the human body (heart, mind, and consciousness) with those of the surrounding reality-based environment (earth, ionosphere, etc).

Theoretically, the frequencies emitted in this Theta state could travel around the world unimpeded very quickly (7x per second), meaning distance is no object with regards to sending/collecting information or messages.

If certain brains/consciousnesses are tuned to the same frequency, they may act like two separate HAM radios across the world but set to the same exact “channel.” And again, in Theta state the waves at which those communications travel would not be impeded by any form of physical matter.

This is an interesting thing to keep in mind when we remember that ancient cultures put so much focus on harmonizing music, chants, meditation practices (OM), and building megalithic structures with phenomenal acoustical characteristics.

Taking a deeper leap into physics, theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, and consciousness, there is a variable called Planks’s Distance that must be understood, along with its implications regarding dimensions that we can see/can’t see, time-space, and “clicking out” from one (seen, observed) “reality” to another.

To understand this part (again at an extremely, extremely high level), we must understand that the common understanding of “energy” isn’t often accurate.

Energy isn’t just the stuff that turns on your ceiling light. Energy can be sound, light, lasers, kinetic, passive, constrained, or unconstrained (infinite or The Absolute).

Energy can often (but not always) be measured in wave forms as described above, and even viewed on an oscilloscope - but only constrained energy, as “unconstrained” energy would be infinite, absolute, and all-pervasive.

Constrained energy is always moving, never at rest, and measurable.

Unconstrained energy is at rest and is infinite, as there is nowhere for it to “move.” Infinite means there is no more room for it to move - infinity means everything and everywhere that ever was, has been, or will be.

Within that lies the interesting aspect of time - truly unconstrained and infinite energy would also fill the expanse of time, in all directions, forever and from ever.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed - it simply moves or changes form.

Constrained energy, in any waveform in which it is measured, has an interesting “click out” function when studied.

This is Planck’s Distance, as shown above.

Constrained energy is always “on the move,” yet there is an extremely small period in which that moving energy changes positions and directions within its waveform. Traveling from upwards to downwards or vice versa.

Within this interesting and extremely small distance in which it “changes direction” (Planck’s Distance), it “clicks out” of our reality, or our time-space continuum. Even if only very briefly, it does.

I’ve previously mentioned my Physics professor telling us on Day 1 of class that the entire understanding of and textbooks about Physics as a discipline were being rewritten and had become outdated based on discoveries in Quantum Mechanics (how particles act at the subatomic level).

This is one aspect of that. Superpositioning and the evidence that electrons don’t behave in the way they had been modeled/understood for decades is another.

If you’re tracking what that means, energy in action leaves or “clicks out” of our time-space reality for the briefest of instants along every traverse of its wave, on both the “upside” and “downside.”

So…if human brain function is also measurable in wattage, which means that it is energy, and its energy is also emitting wave patterns that can be somewhat controlled (at least between states such as Beta and Theta, with others in between), does that mean that human consciousness also has the ability to utilize this “click out” function of the time-space continuum and our “reality?”

If so, can it be controlled?

The Gateway Project, Monroe Institute, and this memo all say yes. Other things that we’ll get into below seem to confirm that is accurate as well.

Taking this “clicking out” and passing into other “dimensions” and away from our time-space continuum-based reality, there is the other necessary step of understanding that energy contains within it data and information.

This is represented in the binary 1/0 or yes/no format like a computer. But like a computer, those binary data bits can be used to encode, represent, or deliver massive amounts of information in quite complex ways.

Unbounded, unconstrained, infinite energy, or The Absolute, would be omnipresent (everywhere), and contain all of that information (data) about everything that is or has ever been, as it would have been recorded within the interaction of the omnipresent information within The Absolute.

Likewise, as a sort of bio-prediction modeling, that information would also be able to “see” the future based on everything that has ever been or happened, in every format or formation ever, to know what happens in any result.

If one could be “tuned” to the correct frequency in order to resonate with those of this infinite and omnipresent energy and information, one may also be able to utilize this “click out” phase of Planck’s Distance to access information that resides outside of our normal, everyday “reality” and existence within our space-time continuum.

Leave the science aside and just think about that for a moment.

The ability to “reach out” and see, consume, and retain access to all of the information, events, and data that has ever been, is, and ever will be.

While this lesson has been given through the memo linked above, you may notice that elements of what it outlines will be seen throughout the other topics that we will cover, or may be the “missing link” for others that we will cover.

If this sounds like too much hocus-pocus, hippy dippy, gobbledygook bullshit to you, I strongly suggest that you watch this documentary linked below.

It is about the Stanford Research Institute, the work that they did there based on The Monroe Institute program described in the memo above, and whose work was utilized by every intelligence, many military, and law enforcement agencies within the USGOV:

Here’s the trailer for the documentary Third Eye Spies:

And free a link to the full movie, which apparently was uploaded to YouTube a year ago (it used to be only available for purchase):

For another viewpoint of this program told from a first-person perspective from one of its members, CW5 Joe McMoneagle gave a +3hr interview to Shawn Ryan last year about his work for SRI and the USGOV.

Chief McMoneagle now works at The Monroe Institute:

I understand that was a lot of ground to cover in the beginning, but it sets the stage for everything else that we’re going to cover.

To view an aspect of this from a totally different angle, we will next dive into a set of books that I was given over a decade ago that attempted to explain this phenomenon of “sensitive” people who seem to have access to information that they should not have, and that others do not seem to have access to.

For more receipts, here are the memos regarding The Gateway Project and The Monroe Institute that are still available through the CIA’s reading room directly:

The Akashic Field and the Integral Theory of Everything

The memo linked and described above is a very compressed explanation of a phenomenon that many have tried to explain over the millenia, in various ways and through different means.

It is so compressed because it is from a US Army Lt Colonel who was tasked with going through The Gateway Project himself and determining its usefulness to the USMIL.

Understanding that his audience would not only be his direct commander and USAINSCOM but also potentially budget holders, politicians, oversight officials, and others, he had to do far more than merely say “this is pretty cool.”

Obviously.

He had to give the “nuts and bolts” to why this thing that seems unbelievable is actually rooted in scientific explanations and our understanding of the world, reality, and human consciousness - if only by the “learned few,” and if only by those who have a wide tapestry of “foundational knowledge” from many disciplines.

I’ve spoken several times about this version of the phenomenon with regard to creatives. Famous authors, musicians, painters, and others have all remarked that when they are in “creation” mode, they often “click out” and at some point “wake up” (consciously) to find that their project is completed without them even remembering doing it.

There are many other names and elements of this same sort of phenomena - prophets, psychics, savants, sensitives, oracles, healers, and others. Simply put, the long timeline of humanity has always had people who seemed to be able to reach out and “grasp” some hidden source of information that others could not.

In many cases, as with the discoveries in The Telepathy Tapes that many non-verbal autistic kids can understand/write in languages they were never taught, these “sensitives” seem to have access to information that there is no logical explanation for them having.

For a far less compressed attempt to explain this phenomena, again through a scientific basis but not constrained to a 30-page memo, is a pair of books describing what is called here The Akashic Field and The Akashic Experience.

Rather than trying to explain in great detail “why” it is, Laszlo through his books above puts the focus on “what” it is and merely quantifies that the phenomenon is real, is all around us, and has been happening (and has been described in various cultures) for most of humanity.

Rather than providing only theoretical physics and trying to explain the time-space continuum of our reality within a very condensed space limitation (of the memo described in the section above), Laszlo focuses on more of a “bridging the gap” between modern breakthroughs in physics and what seemed to be ancient common knowledge to help people understand that there seems to be something missing in our current understanding of what reality is.

In the second book (Experience), he focuses on people who say they have had these experiences firsthand, in various ways and through various methods.

One of the key elements of scientific rigor is the ability for external, non-participants to “see” and potentially replicate the same outcomes as the original. “Out of the box” thinking challenges us to approach problems from non-standard views and attempts at solving or understanding.

Unfortunately for many, for every person who seems to have an unexplainable gift to access information that they should not have organically within their own minds, there are a thousand “grifter” psychics or mind readers that make it all seem like hogwash to the average “normie.”

Just hearing one person tell an unbelievable story of something unexplainable happening isn’t typically enough to convince someone unless we have a pre-built level of inherent trust for what that person says.

Experience includes a collection of these anecdotal occurrences, from across the spectrum of Faiths, backgrounds, credentials, and others that certainly makes it worth the read.

And like The Telepathy Tapes, the USAINSCOM memo, Third Eye Spies, Jimmy Carter blowing the program wide open by mentioning one of its successes during a press conference, and the basis of Faith structures from East to West and across the expanse of human existence, The Akashic Field seems to be something that has always been there, has always been known but not quite understood, yet has fallen by the wayside for most of the public in our current materialistic, secular culture of “me-ism.”

Cymatics/Music/Vibrations, Place Memory/The Stone Tape Theory, The Hidden Messages in Water, The Power of Intention

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

-Nikola Tesla

Cymatics

We’ve gone through a lot of advanced understanding of the world around us, so now it’s time for a really cool “show and tell” application for some of these things.

I first learned of Cymatics through a friend who had learned of it and set up really cool experiments to do with his kids. I’ve been a lifelong avid fan of music, and not just in the “I like to listen to music” way. Certain music “speaks” to me on a level that I cannot explain.

Some of it I can feel down to my bones, and it’s always been like that for me. I was the guy who listened to music while he studied (classical and beat-driven techno), and listening to chaotic music (drum and bass, trap house, dubstep, etc) actually helps me focus and concentrate on certain types of thought exercises.

I’m sure we’ve all heard music that was so beautiful that it brought a bit of water to our eyes, and certain tones that a special few singers can hit that reverberate down into our souls.

This one makes me misty every time I hear it. It’s beautifully done, sure, but something about the intonation and the way it’s performed just strikes me and makes me stop whatever I’m doing, no matter how many times I’ve heard it:

As we’re about to get into in this subsection and the next, it may be about more than just the musical notes. It may be the tones/vibrations themselves that attract, attune, and can change our very life outlook and emotional state with certain music.

From the Google definition, “Cymatics is the study of the visible effects of sound and vibration. The term comes from the Ancient Greek word kŷma, which means "wave"

That sounds pretty dry, so let’s give a better explanation of how Cymatics are represented through experiments.

In these experiments, one typically takes some sort of flat surface that is a good conductor and places it over some sort of sound emitter. I’ve seen this done with tone generators (as in the video below) or very high-end speakers complete with subwoofers to emit every tone and frequency, high and low.

Upon the flat surface is placed some sort of membrane. Some use sand or a similar substance. I’ve seen some that used different shades of colored sand to truly capture how breathtaking this stuff can be. Others, as in the second video below, utilize various mediums, sounds, and even states of matter to show just how cool this is.

What is found through Cymatics experiments is that different tones and frequencies bring vastly different results.

One would expect that the sand would simply be scattered, tossed around, and jumbled all over the place.

But that’s not what happens, at all.

Different tones and frequencies - or vibrations - cause the chosen medium to form geometric patterns.

As the tones range higher in frequency, the patterns become more and more complex. They are almost immediately formed, as if there is some form of hidden intelligence or combinator mechanism within the sand, water, or other medium.

Again, I know it sounds crazy. So let’s go through some receipts to show that I’m not blowing smoke:

Basic Cymatics tone generator experiment:

I really hope you took a few minutes to watch the video. This seems like science fiction, but it is the reality of the world around us that most of us just don’t know anything about.

In context with the first section of this post, it is another way to show the great influence that different frequencies and vibrations have upon physical matter.

And that is just the beginning. We will get into more experiments that show how sound, frequencies, vibrations, and even thoughts may have more influence on us and the world around us than we have been led to believe.

Before we get there, here’s a second Cymatics video that takes the first experiment up several notches.

This is a proper music video where the band decided to show the power of different frequencies on the world around us through a range of media (sand, water, fire, oil, and electricity).

Watch through the end and they show the tones and various media one-by-one:

Music video showing the effects of Cymatics on various media (water, sand, electricity, oil, fire)

Pretty cool, huh?

If these Cymatics demonstrations interest you, there are hundreds of videos of them across the old interwebs.

They are all cool, and at least for me the first time that I saw one, they seem to defy logical reality.

The sand and fire and water and electricity should just bounce all over the place.

But it doesn’t. Resonating at certain frequencies can make beautiful and well-orchestrated geometric patterns.

Resonating at low frequencies seems to be chaotic and less well-organized, and certainly not as beautiful as the higher frequencies.

Does that have any relation to us as humans?

Well, our bodies are 60% water, and 40% “other stuff” (meat and bones).

The planet, likewise, is roughly 70% water.

A study just found that there may be exponentially more water deep under the earth’s crust than there is in every ocean, lake, and river that is up here with us on the surface.

Could different frequencies, vibrations, and intentions (thoughts) have an effect on water?

Let’s dive into that.

The Hidden Messages in Water

The Hidden Messages in Water book and experiments by Masaru Emoto is another interesting step down this path of looking into whether vibrations, tones, frequencies, and even thoughts can affect the environment around us in measurable ways.

https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Messages-Water-Masaru-Emoto/dp/0743289803

Before we dive into this, I’d like to add a totally non-scientific and personal aspect of this that doesn’t have any sort of rational explanation or ability to quantify. But, it’s there.

Like the song that I linked above (Voila!) and that particular rendition that moves me to a level beyond rational explanation, there is something about mountains and the presence of water that moves me at a fundamental, soul-reaching level.

Mountains are great, and snow is great. I was on a mountain team in Special Forces, and as such we got to go to places with some of the most beautiful scenery that I’ve ever seen. For me, personally, looking out from the top of a mountain that you’ve just climbed, whether it’s in Austria or Afghanistan or Germany or Italy, is a feeling that transcends mere aesthetic and scenic beauty, of course.

There is also something about the presence of a body of water in the mountains, however, that is more than just visually pleasing for me - I feel it.

The feeling in the air, the sense of “me,” the feeling that there is something more than simply going through the motions of daily life to being a human. There are no words needed or appropriate - it’s a feeling that engulfs me when those two things are present.

For others, it’s the water alone that can evoke those types of feelings. Whether it’s fishing in a creek or sailing on the ocean, large bodies of water can bring an intense sense of calm or connectedness to many - or fear of the unknowns in the deepness and darkness of the ocean.

However you feel about water, it is a significant aspect of human life. You can go a long time without any food (believe me, I’ve forcibly had to test these limits), but not very long without water (I also know first hand just how much it sucks when you hit the upper bounds of this one).

Our bodies are around 60% water, and approximately 71% of the earth’s surface is water. If the air in the atmosphere of the environment you’re in gets too dry (not enough humidity), your lips get chapped, skin cracks, and other maladies can begin to emerge.

My daughter started asking questions about how Moana could spend days sailing without seeing anything after we saw the latest movie of that title, so I tried to explain the great expanse that is the Pacific Ocean to her.

Unless you’ve flown from North America to Japan, Taiwan, Australia, or similar locations, you may not really understand just how vast it is with very little land mass to be found:

Long story short, water is a significant requirement for human life. It’s needed biologically and physiologically, some people have passions for and others fears of it, but it may play a larger role on a metaphysical level than we understand.

In Masaru Emoto’s experiments and book The Hidden Messages in Water, he posits that it can even contain memories, record & transmit information, and be affected by emotions, intentions, and positivity or negativity.

To be perfectly candid, there is mainstream scientific consensus that pushes back against his book and findings, namely that he didn’t use double-blind studies for his experiments and that they can’t always be replicated.

Emoto conducted experiments by exposing water to different stimuli - words, music, prayers, and other forms. He would then freeze the exposed water and use special photography to take pictures of the ice crystals that formed in the water in each experiment.

His takeaway was that positive influences (kind words, prayers, harmonious music) resulted in beautifully symmetric crystals, while negative influences (harsh words or discordant music) created irregular or “ugly” crystals.

As we mentioned, mainstream science has pushed back against this - but it does align in a way with the Cymatics demonstrations and experiments that are linked in video format above, as well as things in the next few sections that we will cover.

Believe Emoto’s takeaways and thesis or not. Some of the pictures from his book and experiments are below for you to judge for yourself:

The Power of Intention

You may recognize this phrase from the title of a popular book by Dr. Wayne Dyer called The Power of Intention. His book, however, was only one of many studies and books, as well as Emoto’s book and studies from the section above, that have studied this phenomenon.

As with any proper approach to explain a phenomenon that isn’t well understood, as any scientific approach requires, different book and study authors have devised different methods to try to figure out what this is, why it works, how it works, and their current theories for it.

At the macro and generalized viewpoint, most of these can be grouped into two different approaches:

Placebo effect -> intention setting that is focused inward to influence one’s own body or experience

Power of Intention -> outward focused intention setting to affect others, the environment, or events

Popular books and authors discussing this phenomenon and various theories

• Dr. Wayne Dyer:

  • Dyer’s book combines spirituality and personal development, suggesting that intention is a universal force that can be harnessed to create a fulfilling life.

  • Key principles include:

    • Aligning with positive energy

    • Letting go of ego-driven desires

    • Trusting in the flow of the universe

    • Practicing gratitude and kindness

• Lynne McTaggart's The Intention Experiment:

  • McTaggart focuses on scientific studies that examine the influence of human intention on physical reality.

  • Her book discusses experiments where groups of people focused their intentions to influence plants, water, and human health outcomes.

  • She argues that intention is a measurable force that operates through quantum fields.

• Deepak Chopra:

  • Chopra connects intention with quantum physics and consciousness, suggesting that human thoughts can influence outcomes on a subatomic level.

  • He emphasizes the role of mindfulness, meditation, and positive thinking in directing intention.

Studies and explanations for “why” it may work”

• Dr. Ernesto Bonilla:

  • Dr. Bonilla’s research suggests that the power of intention and its effects may be through biophotons, which are very weak light emissions given off by living cells. This theory posits that thoughts or intentions may affect biological processes, and these light emissions go into the greater environment as a result.

  • https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20928979/

• Dean Radin, PhD, Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality

  • Dr. Radin is a senior scientist at the Institute for Noetic Sciences who has been working to find the “missing link” to prove that our minds are more than simply biological machines based purely on electrical and chemical signals.

  • Note: The Institute for Noetic Sciences was founded by astronaut Edgar Mitchell after his experience viewing the earth from space (“the overview effect”) and realized there was more to the universe than materialist science could explain.

  • In this short piece titled Intention and Reality: The Ghost in the Machine Returns, Radin discusses several different intention-focused experiments he has run, and the interesting phenomenon in which great mathematician and physicist minds like Einstein, Newton, and Sir Roger Penrose seemed to understand that it isn’t always that their equations perfectly matched the functioning of the universe.

  • Rather, he feels it’s almost like the universe conformed to the reality created by their mathematical predictions through some sort of “micropowers” that collective minds may have to shape the universe around us.

    • Note: This may sound “hippy dippy” at first pass, but realize that it’s just another way of describing Schrodinger’s Cat or The Observer Effect that is well-understood in quantum mechanics.

  • https://noetic.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/S15_Intentions_Radin_Intention_Reality_GhostInMachine.pdf

• Roger Nelson, The Global Consciousness Project, Princeton University

  • Roger Nelson had a feeling that human consciousness, at scale and when focused on the same thing, should affect the surrounding environment in ways that we cannot see.

  • He set up The Global Consciousness Project in a Princeton lab to see if at least a part of the effect could be quantified.

  • Using A network of random number generators located around the world (that use quantum tunneling so the numbers are truly randomized), they look for any “coherence” within the data generated to see if it's statistically greater than explained by random chance.

  • Sounds crazy? Well…they have found many incidents in which those numbers were influenced - sometimes in pretty significant ways.

    • https://noosphere.princeton.edu/

• • If you’re not convinced by mere words alone, the data from various major global events and the data recorded (and analysis of the data) from their sites in 70 host nations around the world can be found here:

    • https://noosphere.princeton.edu/results.html#alldata

*(the above is just the very top few lines of the table that the screenshot could include; below is the “bottom line” summary of the table data and project)

One of the things that really blew me away during my time in pre-med classes at UCLA were the large placards they had adorning the walls of the Physics department. The placards presented data found in ongoing studies that were on the bleeding edge of research, things that would sound like science fiction to most people.

And yet, the data was on the walls that I walked every time that I went to or from one of those classes, in one of the institutions that would not be considered “fringe” by any stretch of the imagination.

Despite that, when you talk to or tell people about these sorts of things, they think that you’re either talking about science fiction or are taking a piss (pulling their leg).

There is a fairly good chance that our very understanding of the reality of “the world as it is” will change within our or our children’s lifetimes.

Place Memory/The Stone Tape Theory

In our discussion of “The Greats” who would be laughed out of the “consensus-building scientific establishment” today, we mentioned Charles Babbage. Charles was a polymath, inventor, philosopher, mathematician, and is regarded as the “father of the computer” from his originating the concept of a digital programmable computer.

In this section, however, we’ll be focusing on another aspect of Babbage’s interests, and a theory that he posited in his Ninth Bridgewater Treatise.

https://www.amazon.com/Bridgewater-Treatise-Cambridge-Library-Collection/dp/1108000002

Babbage and other 19th century scholars (Eleanor Sidgwick, Edmund Gurney) worked as researchers for the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). It was through that work (for SPR) that Babbage posited that spoken words could leave permanent impressions in the air.

This theory from Babbage can be considered as a precursor to what would later be called The Stone Tape Theory (named from a 1972 BBC televised play that popularized this theory) by some, and Place Memory by others.

As we dig into this, you may remember the previous Identifying the Darkness post & podcast in which we went through the belief of spirits and demons that has existed throughout all of human history, and how often certain types were associated with specific places (or types of places).

On its face, that similarity would be that this theory (Place Memory and Stone Tape) seems to be of the biggest interest to the paranormal research community, many of whom believe that “hauntings” and ghosts may be a residual memory that has been stored in the place due to abnormally violent or traumatic events that happened there.

As with many of the topics that we’ve covered already, however, it gets more interesting as you dig deeper, and there are others who have been looking at this phenomenon from different angles and approaches, and coming up with some interesting findings.

In one episode of The Telepathy Tapes podcast, the mother of one of the autistic children being tested talked about one of her first experiences that made her believe that there was something going on that she couldn’t explain with her son.

An Evangelical Christian, she didn’t believe in any of this type of stuff. A friend of hers who was into the “woo woo” side of things gave her a few smooth stones to keep in her home. When the mom asked why she was being given rocks, her friend told her that they had been blessed, prayed over, and imbued with positive intentions.

When the mom returned home, she put the rocks in a drawer in her room - she didn’t believe in this stuff, after all.

As soon as her son got home from school, he immediately ran to her room, screaming “rocks rocks rocks.”

The mom was in the shower when she heard this, and by the time she was toweled off and dressed, her son was on his bed, with the rocks arranged neatly in front of him. She said it was like he was, “trying to get as close to them as he could without eating them.”

When the mom asked how and why her son had found the rocks in her drawer, he said that, “he could feel the good energy coming off of them, and he wanted as much good energy as he could get.”

As explained in the podcast and in other places that one may look into this topic, one of the theories is that certain types of rocks and stones have a piezoelectric quality that makes them better conductors of energy than others.

Many within the “materialist science” mindset will immediately dismiss these types of theories because they have been associated in part with paranormal research. Which, again, was something that the “father of the computer” was highly interested in.

This is one of the places in which many aspects of these emerging understandings of the metaphysical world collide, and of course brings up more questions and things that, perhaps, deserve far more research to develop a better understanding of.

Archaeologists and anthropologists have spent many years trying to figure out just what in the world “the point” of Stonehenge is. Some are beginning to wonder if the pyramids in Egypt had more to do with energy and harnessing something that we don’t understand than they did with megalithic memorials (more on that later).

The megaliths in Malta that we’ll dive into below, the Moai of Easter Island, Gobekli Tepe, Machu Picchu, the great temples of the Aztecs, ancient ziggurats they are still finding under the ice, under the ground, inside of mountains, and hidden within deep jungles all across the world.

The only thing that people can agree on across all of science and all disciplines is that the ancients went to a great amount of trouble to build these structures, at a time long before hydraulic or pneumatic cranes to lift or 18-wheelers to haul the materials existed.

Why would they do it?

That’s the question that we still can’t come up with a definitive answer for.

We know the ancients had a form of “battery” they had created using the chemical process of vinegar or fruit juice:

The Baghdad Battery

https://www.smith.edu/hsc/museum/ancient_inventions/battery2.html

So they had a better understanding of energy and how to harness it than most of us understand.

They went to great lengths to use massive stones to build megalithic structures that we still can’t come up with a definitive “why” for.

It's certain that they had an extremely comprehensive understanding of the natural world, as well as the universe around us - these ancient cultures had a better understanding of the “cycles” of our place within our galaxy and the universe than modern day Climate Change scientists seem to.

Is there a chance that these megalithic structures, often built using stones that were quarried many miles away and transported with great effort, made use of something that we are only beginning to look at and try to understand?

Were these great megalithic structures of great reverence built of specific stones because they provided an ability to store, harness, or transmit something that we never considered?

Let’s keep these questions in mind as we begin to delve into those ancients, the things that they built, and new discoveries that are starting to show the timeline of humanity, intelligence, and consciousness within the homo genus may be far older and longer than we previously understood.

The Physical

Homo Naledi and The Cave of Bones

A recent discovery in a cave in South Africa, among many others that we’ll cover below, is in the process of rewriting our understanding and timeline of what it really means to be human, and when certain non-physical characteristics began to emerge within the distant past.

As we’re going to go down some paths that aren’t really familiar with people who don’t have the time or inclination to look into these things specifically, there are some “table stakes” that need to be set up front.

In our current understanding of the timeline of “humanity”:

• Our oldest known ancestors are Sahelanthropus tchadensis, one of the first known species to display traits of bipedalism (walking on two feet), and they existed from about 7 to 6 million years ago

• There are 5 “pre-homo genus” ancestors in the common understanding, from Sahelanthropus tchadensis (above) to Australopithecus africanus, who is thought to have lived from about 3 to 2 million years ago (placing both of these at existing for about a million years each)

• The homo genus (predecessors to “us,” homo sapiens) is thought to have emerged with homo habilis at between 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago

  • Homo habilis is called “the handy man” due to its association with early stone tools, a main attribute that is largely used to define the homo genus (ability to use tools to influence the world around it)

• In our current understanding, we are the 10th iteration of the homo genus. Digging into these various ancestors to the modern human race is quite interesting in itself, to see how they adapted to various climates and had societal/physical changes across the iterations.

With all of that behind us, let’s dig a little bit more deeply into Homo naledi, the “cave of bones,” and why this is potentially rewriting our understanding of “what it means to be human” and how long we’ve had certain characteristics that show more than simply “learning how to survive/adapt.”

https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81473682?s=a&trkid=13747225&trg=cp&vlang=en&clip=81696495

The most basic fundamentals of our current explanations and understandings of adaptation and evolution across any species has been predicated on what are considered the 2 most crucial aspects of survival: feed and breed (which is also the basis of the most macro components of human physiology, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system - fight/flight or feed/breed).

It is only very recently, in the grand expanse of the timeline of humanity, that we didn’t have to fight for our food and work very hard to simply survive.

Humans, as mammals, are inclined to breed when Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is met - enough calories, enough safety, and an ability to focus on having/raising/rearing children.

It’s patently obvious to those of us who pay attention to the macro fundamentals and actual (non-politicized) data as to why the Western world is in the midst of a birth rate collapse, but that’s another topic for another time.

When looking at anthropology or archaeology through this materialist lens (evolution of the human race based on caloric consumption), it does not allow that a hunter/gatherer society that still had to move, search, and fight for sustenance would build anything that didn’t further its safety, food source, or ability to promulgate the species (breed).

There is an efficiency required for survival in hunter-gatherer societies, and hunting down the calories to keep you and your family alive doesn’t provide the time or caloric expense for building megalithic structures of stone.

Yet that’s precisely what is being found in recent (relatively) archaeological findings, however.

We keep coming across remnants of ancient, hunter-gatherer societies that seemed to put reverence on things that had nothing to do with survival.

The documentary above explains the “Cave of Bones” found in South Africa recently, and goes into detail about Homo naledi who seems to have gone to great lengths to show a reverence for the dead through the burial practices, pictographs on the cave walls (which weren’t supposed to be around at that time), and a deeper look into what it means to be “human.”

The reason this cave is so interesting is not simply that they buried their dead - another previous discovery in Israel showed that our ancestors were burying their dead at least 100,000 years ago.

This cave of bones is particular in just how difficult it was to get to the place where these burials took place, the items that special imaging has shown some of the bodies were buried with (kids being buried with “toys”), and again, the great difficulty these ancestors had to go through to get to the burial sites.

At a time long before flashlights existed, it seems Homo naledi was willing to walk a decent length through a dark cave complex, scale straight down a very deep and narrow passageway that would be incredibly treacherous to travel, jump or form a bridge across a potentially life-ending chasm in the middle of the passageway, and then travel further into the cave complex to the burial site.

All while carrying the body of a dead loved one, without flashlights (so building/carrying fires along the whole route, which artifacts and smudging on the walls make it seem like they did), burying their loved ones, and then drawing pictographs to commemorate their deceased loved ones before leaving the complex.

250,000 years ago.

In our current understanding of the survival focus and lack of intellectual abilities of our ancestors, none of this adds up with the current theories of how they operated and lived.

And yet, we have proof that they did these things.

The documentary linked above is certainly worth a watch, because it explains just how massive of a discovery this is far better than I can here.

The White Sands Footprints May Break the Bering Strait Theory

Many of us grew up learning that the North American continent was populated by a migration pattern that traveled across the Bering Strait or Bering Land Bridge some 13,000 to 14,000 years ago.

This chronology is linked to the “Clovis First” model, which states that the Clovis peoples migrated into North America after the ice sheets that have previously blocked those routes receded.

A handful of recent discoveries seem to disprove that theory and chronology by at least 10,000 years.

Fossilized footprints have been found in White Sands National Park, New Mexico (US) that have been dated, through numerous methods, to be between 21,000 to 23,000 years old.

Numerous dating methods had to be used because the discovery essentially rewrote and challenged decades of teachings and “consensus” about the settlement of this continent, and yet every method used for dating kept coming up with the same basic answer.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/fossil-footprints-challenge-theory-when-people-first-arrived-americas

We can only know that this pushes back the “consensus-based” established timeline by at least 10,000 years because of what the environment in North America was like at the time.

This period in earth’s history is known as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), a period that had most of North America covered in ice sheets.

We are still in a period referred to as a “mini ice age” based on historical temperatures, but we’re not allowed to talk about that because it harms the Climate Change Green Grift that’s worth trillions of dollars and tons of propaganda for certain people.

The LGM time period having most of North America covered in ice means that people were often walking on ice rather than the ground we see today, which means there aren’t many footprints or remnants that remain. As the ice sheets melt, they turn to water, which runs off into rivers and the ocean, often carrying artifacts and remnants of any civilization with it.

There are, however, other elements of evidence that have been found far further south in the Americas that also show populations here much earlier than the “established consensus.”

The archaeological site Monte Verde in Chile has been dated to around 18,500 years ago.

Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho has uncovered artifacts that have been dated to between 16,000 and 15,000 years old.

The Paisley Caves in Oregon have artifacts that are dated to around 14,500 years ago.

An underwater archaeological site was accidentally discovered by a Navy SEAL in Northern Florida (Page-Ladon) that has the remains of now extinct animals with distinct cutting marks (likely made by humans) that are dated to be 14,550 years old.

The Meadowcroft Rock Shelters in Pennsylvania have been dated to be around 16,000 years old.

Nearly 100,000 artifacts have been uncovered in Texas near Austin with some being as old as 15,500 years and others around 13,500 years.

The Bluefish Caves in Canada have artifacts that have been dated to be around 24,000 years old.

Some of the archaeological discoveries include artifacts and living conditions that are more complex than our understanding of humans during that period allowed, while others are simply far older than the Clovis timeline theorized.

Here’s a list of the current discoveries in the Americas that pushed our timeline of habitation back much further than previously understood:

https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/the-oldest-archaeological-sites-in-the-americas

This episode of Ancient Apocalypse focuses on a few of them (especially the White Sands footprints), and explains just how much pushback this discovery (and others) received for daring to go against the establishment consensus:

Season 2 Episode 1

One of the reasons that the “consensus making establishment” pushes back so violently against new theories, discoveries, or anything that disproves the current theories or models has nothing to do with science, truth, or accuracy.

The biggest reason for the pushback and smear jobs against those who make the discoveries are based more on the “human condition” than science, in my personal opinion.

Many of the fiercest pushbacks and requests to censor those who make discoveries comes from those who have written & sold books, gained academic sinecures based on their own theories & models, and have essentially built their lives and reputation on the “consensus model.”

An attack against their life’s work is an attack on them, as they see it. While they drape their attacks in “protecting science,” in reality it more often seems to be about protecting their legacy and income.

This can be extrapolated out far beyond archaeology, as was put on full display for all of the world just a few short years ago in a different brand of The Science™, but that’s another topic for another time. I think our readers can extrapolate what example I’m talking about without naming it explicitly.

Science is meant to be pushed, prodded, and questioned. Theories are nothing more than theories until they can be proven or disproven.

“The Science™” seems to be a completely different animal.

Are Native Americans Really Native to the Americas?

As with the chronology of the populating of North America, this is a question and topic that will ruffle some feathers.

Humorously, the peoples at the heart of the question seem to agree with its premise - it’s the “white academics” (as espoused by the daughter of the Hopi chief in an interview that I’ll link below) who seem to take offense at it.

Funny that. Many such cases in many different topics these days.

Here’s another humorous example of the people’s at the heart of the matter being angry with the woke white dipshits that try to take away aspects of their heritage and pride:

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/sports/native-american-group-sues-washington-commanders-over-erasure-of-redskins-identity

The Bering Land Bridge model held that migration routes included early North Americans walking from Siberia to their new home. That timeline seems to have been disproven, at least with regard to the true “first peoples.”

The ancestral memories and chronology from the tribes referred to as Native Americans recount that they didn’t walk here at all. Some of them hold that their ancestors came here on boats from across the ocean.

Academics have done a lot of mental gymnastics to totally discount these tribes’ own historical timelines of how and when they got here, much of which used the Clovis timeline to “debunk” these peoples’ own records.

As the Clovis timeline has been debunked itself, this is a question worth looking at more closely than many have been willing to do.

This was one of many things that came into my topics of interest in a very peculiar way and with an interesting chain of events. After writing the On Statecraft and Religion series, I gave a public talk about it and my “big takeaways” that many of us are more similar than dissimilar.

After the talk, someone came up to me and began talking about the Hopi and other Native American tribes. As it turns out, he had filmed an entire documentary going to speak to the daughter of the Hopi chief (the chief died before they could film) about their ancestral tales and some characteristics of their use of dates, numbers, and traditions that seem to align with the early Hebrews.

They did DNA testing on the Hopi, Apache, Comanche, and others, and believe the haplotypes and other elements within the tribes’ genetics, along with their dates and traditions, make them a likely candidate for one of the “lost tribes of Israel.”

Others have pushed back, some very strongly, on this notion. But if the people involved have ancestral tales that don’t align with the “consensus,” the timeline established by “the consensus” has been disproven in multiple ways, and the unique methods of farming, dates, numbers, choice of where to settle, and traditions of the Hopi don’t align with the “consensus” narrative for where they originated - it’s worth at least listening to other potentials.

Here’s the documentary in question. It wasn’t done with a large budget, so don’t expect a Hollywood-style or Supersize Me level of camera work. The information and personal accountings from the interviews are what I see as pertinent, and in my opinion they’re worth a listen:

The Story of The Deluge (Great Flood) Is Present Across Most Ancient Cultures

I’ve mentioned this before in previous posts and podcasts, and this is one topic that is likely to get you a side eye from people because it is very much one of those “I would have known about this if it were true” topics.

But it certainly seems to be, and most people do not know about it. So take that for what it is.

The furthest that most people, especially in America, are likely to look back in historical research would be WWII, or WWI, and many may take interest in the Civil or Revolutionary Wars of our nation.

If you want to go back a lot further, often the best place to do that is through the records and writings of ancient Faiths, which many people who have a Christian background just don’t feel right about doing.

This seems to be a uniquely Christian attribute within the Abrahamic Faiths, as the Old Testament is a lot of history and genealogy, and the main break in Islam is based on a disagreement of history (whether the Prophet Muhammed did or did not designate a successor, which is the main tension point between the Sunni & Shia, at its core).

The Christian Bible is the most misquoted and often misinterpreted book in existence - there are many quotes attributed to The Bible that are not there, many lessons that are taken and warped by nefarious ones (see: Resentfuls), and words that are partially there but that are badly misquoted by people not very familiar with The Good Book itself.

One of the most memorable stories in The Bible, and one that faces the most ridicule from the secular, is not only told there but is a story told in different (but sometimes very similar) ways across different ancestral, Faith, and folk stories from across the globe.

Most interestingly, they all place The Deluge, or The Great Flood, at about the same time in human history.

These global stories of The Deluge do not come in newly-minted books or fresh “hot takes” from theologians - they are present in ancient manuscripts that are often the basis of age-old Faith structures.

Many, but not all, include a message or messenger from God (or their name for Him) coming and warning a man that The Deluge is coming. In some of them the man builds a boat (quite similar to the ark), in others he builds a bridge or levee, or some other way to save a select group of people (and sometimes animals) from what is coming.

And again, these are all from cultures who were not supposed to have any contact with each other, spread across the entirety of the globe.

You may not be familiar with it besides the name, but many have at least heard of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

This is an ancient Mesopotamian tale, in which, take wild guess…

“Utnapishtim (or Ziusudra in Sumerian versions) is warned by the gods of a coming flood and builds a large boat to save his family, animals, and craftsmen.”

Let’s take a trip down ancient history’s road and see how many other cultures share a version of this story:

• Biblical/Hebrew: The story of Noah's Ark in the Book of Genesis is one of the most well-known flood narratives, where Noah is commanded by God to build an ark to survive a flood that will cleanse the earth of wickedness.

• Greek: Greek mythology includes the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha, where Zeus decides to destroy the Bronze race of humanity with a flood. Deucalion, advised by his father Prometheus, constructs a chest, and he and his wife Pyrrha survive the flood.

• Hindu: In Hindu mythology, there's the story of Manu, the first man, who is warned by the god Vishnu (in the form of a fish) about an impending deluge. Manu builds a boat as advised, and after the flood, repopulates the earth.

• Chinese: Chinese mythology includes the story of Yu the Great who managed the flooding of the Yellow River through various engineering projects, which indirectly relates to flood myths. Some legends also mention a great flood that covered the earth.

• Sumerian: The Sumerian King List mentions a king named Ziusudra who survived a great flood, which parallels the later Babylonian version in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

• Native American: Various tribes like the Hopi, Navajo, and the Zuni have flood stories. For instance, in the Hopi myth, a flood destroys a wicked world, with survivors taking refuge in a hollow reed.

• Polynesian: Polynesian mythology, particularly from the Maori of New Zealand, includes stories like that of Rangi and Papa where a deluge is part of the narrative of cosmic separation and creation.

• Aboriginal Australian: Some indigenous Australian stories speak of floods as part of their dreaming stories or creation myths.

• Incan: The Inca had a myth about a great flood where two siblings, surviving in a box, repopulated the earth after the waters receded.

• Mayan: The Popol Vuh, the creation myth of the Maya, includes a story of a great flood where the gods wipe out the previous creation because the people failed to honor them, and only a few survivors remain.

• African: Several African cultures, including the Yoruba in West Africa, have myths of a flood that wiped out an early world, with a few humans and animals surviving.

Some see repeating Faith-based tales like this and attribute it to “copy and pasting” of religions over time. I am not of that belief.

If you’ve read the On Statecraft and Religion series, or really considered what The Absolute means in the beginning sections of this post, perhaps you understand the basis of my own belief structure enough to see why I see it quite differently.

An Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omnitemporal, unrestrained and infinite energy, or The Absolute, would certainly have the power and ability to present Himself to different peoples in ways that each could comprehend, who would then try to explain their experience to their people in a way that they could comprehend.

Those representations would be different based on the cultures trying to explain the experiences and teachings, and we could end up with different religions honoring the same Creator.

As we’ve said before, more similar than dissimilar, when you take a look at each from that vantage point.

Was God really so angry at Satan for challenging his power only, or was it also because The Watchers (as told in the apocryphal Book of Enoch) taught humans how to make weapons and caused them to fight and kill each other?

For another great watch and dive into yet another culture that has an ancestral tale of The Deluge that isn’t on the list above, Season 1 Episode 1 of Ancient Apocalypse (linked above) focuses on Gunung Padang in Indonesia which may have been built to survive it.

This is yet another ancient, stone built and megalithic site that doesn’t add up with the people who were supposed to be there at the time, the technological proficiency they weren’t supposed to have to build such a site, or the “consensus based” timeline of human history that says the hunter-gatherer culture of the place & period wouldn’t have the resources or time to build it.

The location does, however, have both mountains and water, so I’m a fan from the get go.

Is Genesis Actual History?

https://isgenesishistory.com/

I’ve recommended the documentary Is Genesis History previously, and if understanding “the human experience” and timeline is important or interesting to you, I’m going to recommend it again here and now.

The website above includes explanations, trailers, and all kinds of additions to the documentary itself, as well as others the crew has made that focus on the specific topics covered in this one that are each given their own documentaries to dive more deeply into.

If your first thought is something like “harumph, I don’t need that Bible-thumping crap,” give me a little credit, please.

If you’re still with us at this point, I think I’ve earned your trust that I’m not going to lead you in a ridiculous (or boring) direction. And as I try to do with all of my posts and podcasts, this documentary is filled with “receipts” rather than just “this is how it is” attestations with nothing to back them up.

From archeological digs finding things in places they should not be according to “the mainstream scientific consensus,” analyzing the layers in the Grand Canyon, evolutionary biologists who ask why we don’t see things that the basis of evolutionary theory says we should if it were correct, intelligent design in nature, physics & advanced mathematics, and a Hebrew scholar going through the actual Biblical writings in their original language, it just might help you see why the secular explanations that try to explain away Faith keep falling short or being disproved.

The Megaliths of Malta: Potentially Rewriting the Timeline of Humanity

When people think of the island of Malta these days…well, most people don’t.

Perhaps they should, however.

For one, it has a very strong connection to the early days of Christianity, the Crusades, and an epic, multi-day battle that saw the Knights Hospitaller willing to die to the last man in order to defend what they cherished.

Part 2

https://x.com/6Voodoo/status/1839654742361792605

The threads above may be a great opportunity to prep and understand the background of something that looks like it will be pretty freaking epic:

Going back deeper into antiquity, and the focus of this section, is the fact that Malta is home to some of the oldest free standing stone structures in the world.

The megalithic temples of Malta, such as Ħaġar Qim, Mnajdra, and Ġgantija, are currently dated to around 3600–2500 BC, but new dating and anthropological discoveries may move their timeline back to be 10,000 years older or more.

Here is an overview of the temple of Ggantija which is astronomically-aligned, enormous, and built with a level of technical building proficiency that should not have existed - neither at the time it is currently dated to, nor the now far older dates that are being proposed.

Here is the entrance to Ggantija:

The name itself means “giantess,” so named because of the local folklore that it was built by, well, a giantess.

As the temple is made of stone, it’s not easy to pinpoint a specific date for its being built. The “establishment consensus” view is that it was built during the Neolithic period, because that period is when agricultural societies began to emerge and humans would have the time and ability to focus on building massive things like this.

Those dates made sense when everyone was on board with that idea, and the “consensus” was that the Neolithic period must have been the first time in which human societies could dedicate a lot of effort and caloric expenditures towards the planning, coordination, and building of such structures.

There are other investigations and viewpoints that seem to indicate that complex, civilized, intelligent, and technologically proficient cultures may have existed in pre-Neolithic, or even pre-Diluvian (pre-flood) times, as some of these structures on Malta just may be a key to.

Here are a few ways in which the current consensus dating for the megalithic structures on Malta are being challenged:

• Soil samples taken from under Ggantija point to the possibility that it may be from 9-8,000 BC rather than the current dating

• Erosion studies and closer inspection of the erosion on these structures may push their time back beyond significant weather pattern changes, from before 10,000 BC

• The cart ruts that traverse the location seem to be far older than Ggantija itself, have no explanation for their existence, are etched into the rock, and are thought to be pre-Neolithic

  • Note: in line with the Place Memory/Stone Tape Theory discussed above, there may be places on earth that people were drawn to long before temples or monuments of reverence or worship were built on those sites

• Submerged structures off the coast of Malta, like those found off the coast of Japan, may point to a pre-flood or early Holocene period civilization whose settlements were submerged when the ice melted after the Last Glacial Maximum (ice age)

• A lack of artifacts to explain how these structures were built lends credence to the idea that they are far older than imagined, with their tools or other artifacts washed away in The Deluge, ice melt, or other natural event

I’ve known that there was something special about Malta for a long time, but never had any clue as to why. Mentions of the tiny island chain in the Mediterranean kept popping up in various things that I researched, or more notably the groups who had associations or history there.

The first thing that laid bare the interesting ancient historical aspects of it was, of course, an episode of Ancient Apocalypse that covers it specifically (if you haven’t picked up on my foot stomping yet, you should really watch the series):

https://www.netflix.com/watch/81244387

Is the current consensus view that the structures on Malta are simply old but in-line with the idea that humans only started building these types of megaliths when agriculture was developed accurate?

Or does Malta and its structures (both those on land and submerged) hold a “key” to a far older timeline of humanity than we currently understand?

Now that my son has his scuba license, there’s a big part of me that wants to renew my own PADI (scuba) license and go have a swim off the coast of Malta to see for myself.

The Sphinx, Erosion, and Leo: Potentially Rewriting the Timeline of Humanity

For the finale to what has been a lot of information to go through, I felt it quite fitting to end with some new thoughts, potential evidence, and considerations that some of the most well-known ancient structures of the world may not be what we thought they were, or from when we thought they were.

Accordingly, along with many of the other topics that we’ve covered, any attempts to consider alternative theories to the “mainstream consensus” is met with fierce pushback from those whose livelihoods are based on the current consensus.

Which is funny…

If those who already have garnered the reputations as well-known or knowledgable people on the subject were to publicly step up and say, “you know what, those are interesting theories, let’s have a look,” they would probably only strengthen their standing in the eyes of the greater public.

Yet that’s not what they tend to do. They do the opposite, forcefully.

Often, their friends in academia, academic journals, and the greater media world turn to immediately attacking those who bring alternative theories or even questions. When they can’t attack the message, they attack the messenger.

There’s a reason you see this happen across so many disciplines and fronts for different topics - and why it’s often a huge “tell.”

The current consensus view is that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2580–2560 BC during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops). The Great Sphinx, typically believed to be associated with Khafre, Khufu’s son, is also dated to around the same period (circa 2500 BC).

There are several reasons why this mainstream consensus is being challenged, through both physical and historical data points.

On the historical side, there are some strongly-defended basic realities about ancient history that certain elements of our society don’t want people to understand. Namely, as we’ve covered in previous posts, that the region of North Africa was once jungle and lush farmland, despite its existence as an arid desert region right now.

That such a drastic change occurred long before the Industrial Age, smokestacks, coal power, or combustion engines is an uncomfortable reality for the “climate change is gonna kill us, so give us all the money” crowd, because it (along with the LGM and our current place in a mini ice age) strikes at the heart of their basic premise.

Yes, the climate changes, as it always has, long before humans, or engines, or smokestacks. Always in massive ways, over long, multi-millenia cycles that we have no control over.

If one studies the most ancient writings, one may come to the conclusion that the ancient magi of the region now known as Egypt became so revered because they were the first to recognize they could use the changing position of various stars to predict when the Nile river would overflow, thus flooding the once fertile farmland that surrounded it.

But again, we’re not supposed to talk about or remember that because it gets in the way of a multi-trillion dollar grift that some people and governments are running.

Other ancient texts seem to be of the persuasion that the peoples we define as Egyptians didn’t build the pyramids in the first place, but rather found them already there.

DNA testing of some of the mummified Pharaohs shows another uncomfortable truth - their genetics don’t seem to be African, but rather Middle Eastern. This aligns with Biblical writings, so of course it makes the secular big mad:

https://www.nature.com/articles/546017a

Let’s dig into some of the biggest reasons that the “consensus” timeline for Egypt, the Sphinx, and the Great Pyramid of Giza are getting major pushback:

• Erosion patterns on the Sphinx indicate, based on closer inspection by erosion experts like Robert M. Schoch and John Anthony West, that it came from heavy rains and not sand/dust storms like originally thought. There was a time - when the region was lush rather than arid desert - that heavy rainfall occurred there, but that was between 10,000 to 12,000 years ago (the end of the LGM).

• The lack of markings and face of the Sphinx have caused some to be more aligned with different theories for who built it and when. Khafre was known to leave inscriptions for the megaliths that were built in his name, which aren’t found on the Sphinx. The face itself doesn’t seem to resemble his face as closely as some claim, strengthening the theory that it was originally a lion’s face that Khafre’s people simply “edited” and carved to resemble him.

• The Precession of the Equinox is a 26,000-year cycle that we’ve discussed previously, with the last one occurring around 10,500 BC. There are many ancient megaliths and structures (like Angkor Wat in Cambodia) that align with this cycle, and the alignment of the Sphinx could have been for this and the constellation Leo’s place at that time - which would be fitting if it were originally a lion and not Khafre.

  • There are several different theories that follow this train of thought, with some like Robe

    rt Bauval believing it was built to honor the (astrological) “Age of Leo” (the rising of the star Regulus in the Leo constellation around 10,000 BC), with Graham Hancock and others looking at the Precession of the Equinox timeline.

• Geological patterns under the Sphinx via seismic studies are believed by some as showing that it has been there far longer than the consensus timeline allows.

We know that the ancient Egyptians had an enormous amount of knowledge about astronomy, and tied many of their societal and belief systems to the movements in the sky.

We know that the environment in Egypt was very different at a distant point in human history, and that the world has changed significantly around it in the time since The Deluge and again since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

We don’t know for certain how the Sphinx and pyramids were built. There are a lot of theories, but nobody can answer that question definitively by any stretch of the imagination.

We also can’t say for certain who built them, or when they were built.

One of the coolest uses of technology and big data in my mind is the ability that we’ve had for some time to map, project, and even reverse-engineer the exact position of different parts of the sky from the vantage point of earth at specific points in time.

This is how Graham Hancock was able to figure out that the Sphinx, if these alternative dates are correct, could have been built in accordance with the Leo constellation, the precession of the Equinox, and the Age of Leo.

Without the need of a high-powered computer, I have a cool app on my phone that my daughter loves to use when stargazing. It allows us to see the name of every single star in the sky. Because it uses your phone’s camera, GPS, and the phone’s gyroscope, we can “see” the stars even when we can’t actually see them - they still show up on the app.

You can even look down at your feet and see which stars are on the opposite side of the earth. We can figure out where the International Space Station (ISS) is, it “maps” and connects the constellations for you, and even shows the planets, trajectories of comets, and other cool things for those who enjoy looking up towards the heavens.

To their credit, none of these technology-based things existed when the first Egyptologists and academics began to try to decipher why someone - whoever and whenever it was - built these megalithic structures in Egypt.

Our ability to totally upend previous “consensus held views” on numerous topics through modern technology has been quite astounding.

And yet, rather than utilize and embrace these new abilities to “see” into the distant past to try to discern the “who, why, where, what, when, and how,” many choose instead to fight back viciously against any new insights.

Such is the human condition, but it doesn’t seem like that human trait within the scientific world will be able to survive for very much longer.

Fin

Ok…that was a lot to go through, I know. I don’t know why this stuff fascinates me so much (everything discussed in the above sections), but it does. All of it.

It doesn’t fascinate me on the level that it does some who simply enjoy seeing others “proven wrong.” On the contrary, the basis of science is working to prove or disprove any scientific theory until it becomes proven or disproven.

Our society and scientific “consensus building establishment” has strayed very far away from that basic foundational principle of science, and in my personal opinion we’re worse off for it.

I had this conversation with my son last night with regard to the “theory of evolution” (as he’s doing a project on it at the moment), and why it is still only a theory after all of this time.

Many people don’t even understand that it is still only theory - they have been taught and led to believe that it is long held proof. The problem with that one, which is possibly one of the most strongly held that has yet to be proven, is that there isn’t enough evidence in the fossil record for it to go beyond theory, even now.

On the contrary, as with many of the topics above, the data points that continue coming - or not being found - point in the other direction.

Why do sharks - who were around at the time of the dinosaurs - still exist as sharks without a major evolutionary change, if that theory is a proof?

The same can be asked about alligators, birds, fish, and many other animals that still exist in or similar to their original form, albeit with adaptations but not full-blown evolution into another type of species. The latter part is what would be expected if that theory were a proof, and yet it’s not found.

If you say this basic fact out loud in nearly any circle outside of actual researchers or scientists in these fields, you will be seen as a crazy person.

This is the danger of “sacred cows” i.e. questions that aren’t allowed to be asked because they go against what has been taught and believed - but often without the actual evidence to back it up at best, or contradictory evidence that is covered up at worst.

The human (Homo sapien) mind has adapted over time to recognize patterns as a way to make sense of the world, his environment, and to recognize non-standard events so they can be mentally categorized as a danger or not.

As such, we have an innate need to understand things, especially the “biggest questions” about this existence, or else we cannot make sense of the world. A world in which no sense is made of its functions would lead to breakdowns, on both an individual and societal level.

We’ve mentioned before how the Soviets knew this.

When they felt people were getting too comfortable, they would “increase the contradictions” within their propaganda (presenting things as reality that were obviously not) to increase the mental tensions within the populace, which would then lead to physiological tension.

When this is understood, it can also be understandable why those in charge of the institutional structures of a society may want to help people have a way to make rational sense of the world. As long as this is done with a strong caveat that it is a “theory” rather than “proof,” it can be seen as a greater good.

The issue begins when, over time, those caveats fall away and stop being given, and things that are merely thoughts or theories become “sacred cows” of a society or “The Science™” despite never being proven.

Even worse, when they are disproven but invested interests attempt to smear those who disprove them rather than following actual science to discern reality versus the constructed societal un-reality that has been built via a mountain of “sacred cows” rather than truths.

As I’m finishing this, we’re on Day 3 of the fires that have been overtaking Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. Yes, my kids and I are fine. One of the fires is reasonably close, but it’s going away from our area so despite some ash on my car and ugly haze in the sky, we will be ok.

The house that we lived in when my son was born is likely toast, and the hospital that I worked in for my first job post-Army is under evacuation orders. We don’t live close to them anymore, so it’s not a danger to where I am now (they are close to the initial Palisades fire, which we are nowhere close to now).

Watching the coverage and analysis of what led to this (preventable) tragedy, however, leads me to think that this region (Southern California) is in the process of watching a handful of its own “sacred cows” be sacrificed on the altar of reality and truth.

One of those sacred cows is the unnatural inclination of the secular to try to skew society away from one of most well-known and oldest-proven maxims: “he who dares, wins.”

Society was built, defended, and saved via hard men willing to take chances in business, or science, or physical feats, to build or defend the things that they felt strongly about.

The custom of men sitting around a fire drinking mead, beers, kakeion, or whatever libation of the day and swapping stories of them coming so close to death that they could taste it probably predates our known versions of human language.

As is starting to come out regarding the Los Angeles Fire Department (as with many first responders and militaries of the West), a concerted effort was made to remove those types - men who love to do “what they were built to do,” and for whom facing a crucible and surviving will be the thing that strengthens and defines the rest of their lives.

The secular who prefer the unnatural way of things put forth great effort to remove those men from those types of positions, and those sacred cows via facades of pretending it was a good idea are falling across the West in spectacular fashion.

Many of those “sacred cows” of the political world that is Southern California led to decades of incompetence, mismanagement, and total coverups in the name of political science and power.

They have led to an ultimate one party rule that was so complete it was ne’er impossible for reality to slip out amidst cover ups and denials at all levels for many years anytime there would be a catastrophe.

That’s the thing about The Era of the Great Pretending coming to a close - nature, the natural world, and The Creator always find a way to bring things back to the level set of equilibrium.

Birth, death, rebirth. The phoenix and the fire. The cycle that has been told through the stories and structures for all of human history.

You can cover things up with as much refuse as you can or want (lies, metaphorical and political), but at some point the fire is going to come and burn it all down (sometimes metaphorically, sometimes in very real ways).

And good, competent, truth-seeking people will rebuild from the ashes to start over again. Hopefully they will, as told through many parables of Christ Jesus of Nazareth, choose to rebuild on a good foundation (Truth).

As the wise man once said, “we shall see.”

And of course…

It’s my intention to keep this platform free to read, but with the ability for people to donate if they are so inclined and feel the content here is worth their hard-earned dollars. These posts take quite a bit of time and research, but as I work it into my routine the flash-to-bang on new posts should reduce dramatically.

If you are so inclined and feel this is worth your time to subscribe for updates, share with others, or become a paid member, I’d greatly appreciate it.
