Memory

(Footnotes and citations are pending.)

        Numerous people throughout the world claim to have proof of reincarnation through what they believe to be past-life memories. Some have undergone hypnosis to bring those memories to the surface, claiming that their journey into the metaphysical is rooted in some prior life as an advanced psychic scientist in Atlantis or Lemuria. And, of course, many pragmatists have laughed these New-Age people to scorn, while numerous Christians accuse those "New-Agers" of being possessed with the devil. All three groups are wrong. The New-Age people have no legitimate proof of reincarnation (and this will be explained later), the pragmatists need to stop writing off physically intangible things as unreal, and the Christians need to stop declaring any and every misunderstood phenomenon as an act of the devil.
        First, one must consider the notion of reincarnation, and how that notion runs contrary to several spiritual events that have taken place (or will take place) in history. The most notable spiritual event is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself knew that He was going to be killed on a cross, yet He insisted on being put to death in this horrific fashion, claiming that His death would CLEANSE the entire human race of its sin-nature. If people could endure repeated reincarnations in order to perfect themselves (as the Hindus claim), then why would one man, called the SON of GOD, SACRIFICE His Very Life to CLEANSE the entire human race? And if the Bible says that it is appointed to every man to die once, and then to be JUDGED, then what room is there for reincarnation, which would imply dying more than once? And if Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all speak of a final Resurrection of the dead, where the dead will then be Judged, then how can anyone be reincarnated as another person and Resurrected as the original person at the same time?
        Now for what many have mistakenly called "past-life memories" or "Satanic possession," the memories are neither, in that they have nothing to do with reincarnation and they have nothing to do with the devil. Although people rely primarily upon physical human memory, which is limited to what an individual experiences from birth onward, human beings also have a spiritual memory, which is passed on from parents to children, and which spans all generations, all the way back to Adam and Eve, the first parents of all humanity. Spiritual memory expresses itself from the deepest subconscious dreams and during the deepest forms of hypnosis and meditation. The spiritual memories of all the Antediluvian patriarchs from Adam to Noah are embedded deep within the spirit of every last human being that has been born after the flood. Those Antediluvian memories include centuries-long lifespans and the rise of amazingly augmented forms of telekinesis, telepathy, levitation, transmutation, teleportation, and numerous other superhuman abilities. There are also memories of the global telepathic network that once existed long before the invention of writing, memories of massively elaborate megalithic wonders built entirely with superhuman mental powers, memories of forbidden relations with supernatural beings that had wrongfully taken physical form, memories of the radical abuses of superhuman mental powers to gratify the most horrendously selfish appetites, and memories of the violent global flood that resulted from the superhuman telekinetic use of the Earth's molten interior as a super-weapon of mass-destruction. What one might think is a past-life memory of Atlantis is really an inherited spiritual memory from numerous advanced ancient civilizations, extending all the way back to the Antediluvian world, the most advanced of them all.
        What Christians sorely need to realize is that, of all spiritual memory, theirs is the most powerful and the most supernatural of all. That is because Christians who are truly SAVED have also been BAPTIZED with GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT, which means that Christians who are truly SAVED have a human spirit that has been MADE ONE with GOD'S SPIRIT, and this means that those Christians have INHERITED GOD'S INFINITE AND ETERNAL SPIRITUAL MEMORY, FILLING them with all the WISDOM, POWER, and LOVE of GOD HIMSELF. And Christians must Study GOD'S WORD RIGHTLY DIVIDED so that they can properly Discern all spiritual memory, with GOD'S WORD ACTIVATING all the MEMORIES of the HOLY SPIRIT within every Faithfully Obedient Believer. Memory is the Seat of identity, so to EXPERIENCE GOD'S VERY MEMORIES is to KNOW GOD HIMSELF.

The Hundred Years

        Noah and his family spent one hundred years building the ark. For an Antediluvian who lived for almost a millennium, a hundred years would have been like a decade is to our modern-day world. But for modern man, a hundred years is practically an entire lifetime. For a modern-day human being who only lived for ninety-five years, Noah and his family would have started building the ark before that person was born, and then finished building the ark after that person died! That is how radically different Antediluvian humanity was from modern-day humanity, with many thousands of years between the two.
        Although the Antediluvians commonly built vast megalithic structures using their augmented telekinetic and telepathic abilities, Noah and his family took one hundred years to build the ark because they built it by hand, using basic tools and absolutely no superhuman powers whatsoever. GOD INSTRUCTED them to build it by hand as a Sign against a violently corrupt Antediluvian world, a world that had utterly turned against GOD in any and every possible way. The Sign itself had a twofold message, the first and most common part being the impending global destruction humanity's actions were about to cause, and the second part being the complete REMOVAL of all superhuman powers through the radical SHORTENING of all human longevity, as exemplified through the building of the entire ark by hand. The Sign was around for a hundred years, which means that the knowledge of Noah's building-project and its significance were amply transmitted throughout the entire global telepathic network in the Antediluvian world, which meant that every last one of the eight billion human souls was aware of the ark. Nevertheless, every last one of those Antediluvian souls wrote off Noah and his family as insane, driven mad by this foolish end-time notion, even driven to the point of wasting so much time and energy building a gigantic boat by hand on dry land. They may have laughed and told jokes every time the ark was broadcast on the global telepathic network, but when the great flood destroyed their entire world, they weren't laughing anymore.

A Theory Concerning Ancient Megalithic Ruins

(Note: this is a work in progress.  Proper citations and footnotes will be added when they become available.)

        Astounding ancient ruins have been discovered throughout the world, megalithic ruins constructed during a time when human civilization was supposed to consist of nothing more than mere hunter/gatherer tribes with no science and no system of writing. These ruins consist of massive stone blocks, many weighing hundreds of tons apiece, yet these blocks were quarried miles away from the construction site and cut with a precision that rivals or surpasses even our own modern technological skills. More than ten thousand years old, these megalithic ruins utterly lack any nearby sophisticated tools, heavy construction equipment, detailed blueprints, writings, or inscriptions that would even remotely suggest how so-called primitive hunter/gatherer tribes were able to build megalithic structures our so-called modern society simply cannot duplicate.
        Modern man in his academic arrogance always asserts his own views over evidence that stands in stark opposition. Scholars always assert that megalithic ruins such as Tiwanaku and Pumapunku of Bolivia, The Osirion of Abydos, the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx of Egypt, the Bosnian Pyramids, and the buried structures of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey had to be built as recently as a few thousand years ago (or even a few hundred years ago) using simple tools, vast labor forces, and basic construction techniques. After considering the following questions, even a five-year-old child would have to disagree with these so-called scholars. Why would a "simple" people want to construct a building with massive, elaborately-fashioned stones weighing many hundreds of tons? If our modern heavy-construction equipment, many times stronger than the largest human labor-force, can barely move these massive stones (if it can even move them at all), then how on Earth could a tribe of "simple" people move them? How were these massive stones cut and fashioned with astonishing precision when most of them could have only been cut and fashioned with high-precision tools made of the hardest substances, and not with simple earthen tools made of stone, wood, soft copper, or bronze? (At Pumapunku, for example, massive stones made of diorite can only be fashioned with precision tools tipped with a harder substance like diamond, something the natives of that region did not have at all. And even if, as some scholars assert, the builders of Pumapunku somehow die-cast molten material to make these massive, elaborately-fashioned stones, then where are the die-cast molds used for the process, and how on Earth were a "simple" people capable of melting solid rock?) If a modern society like ours can only construct the most elaborate buildings and complexes by using blueprints and detailed written accounts, then how could these "less-than-modern" peoples build such elaborate megalithic structures without any blueprints and without any kind of writing whatsoever? And if so-called modern cultures are known for the written inscriptions on their crowning achievements of construction, then why do all of these ancient megalithic wonders utterly lack any kind of written inscription in any language? (Let it be noted, however, that of all the ancient megalithic ruins, most scholars have had to admit that both the Bosnian Pyramids and the Göbekli Tepe site are at least ten thousand years old, which still basically uproots just about every last hunter/gatherer theory in modern anthropology!)
        Now let's make things even more difficult and downright unbelievable. What do the aforementioned ancient megalithic mysteries, the science of neural networks, and chapters five through eleven of the Holy Bible's Book of Genesis have in common? On the surface of modern-day thinking, the flat-out answer would be absolutely nothing. But if one were to answer the challenge and dig beneath that surface, then the answer given would instead address the true nature of humanity at its highest and most elegant heights. Anthropologists have dogmatically stated that man evolved from primordial soup to technologically-advanced civilization, siting that human society consisted of nothing more than mere hunter/gatherer tribes some ten thousand years ago, and that these tribes had yet to discover farming and build modern civilization upon that time-honored foundation of agriculture. But the recent discovery of the ten-thousand-year-old Bosnian Pyramids and the equally ancient Göbekli Tepe site have tipped the evidence in favor of the Biblical view of humanity, namely, that humanity started out as a Supreme, Divine Being, then progressively devolved ("fell," according to the Bible) to this current, technologically-bulky civilization that requires machines and computers to perform the most complex, elaborate, difficult, dangerous, and seemingly miraculous tasks.
        Now for those aforementioned seven chapters in Genesis. The Book of Geneses, allegedly written by Moses, is one of the most enigmatic books in the Bible, largely because it compresses several thousand years of history (possibly up to ten thousand or more when one considers the Göbekli Tepe site) into its scant fifty chapters. In order to have truly done justice to that period of history, Genesis should have been a library instead of a mere fifty-chapter book. And the first eleven chapters of Genesis should account for nine tenths of that library. In those first eleven chapters, there are brief accounts of how GOD RESTORED the Earth after an earlier global catastrophe, how the idyllic global climate, geology, and meteorology existed without any form of rain, how the first human couple was CREATED, how the first human couple fell, how human beings multiplied and created advanced civilizations, how the corrupt nature of humanity led to the extreme abuses of those advancements, how those abuses led to the global flood, how one man and his family survived that flood and solely repopulated the entire world, how humanity almost rebuilt the same advanced civilization as a corporate entity, and how GOD INTERVENED by DIVIDING humanity's language, race, and blood-type into numerous different groups, then SCATTERING those different groups abroad all over the harsh new post-flood Earth. There are also brief accounts of human lifespans reaching almost a thousand years in length before the flood, then shortened to between four hundred and five hundred years after the flood and before the DIVISION of the human race, and then shortened to less than two hundred and forty years after the DIVISION of the human race, gradually tapering off to the less-than-hundred-year average lifespan "modern" man suffers today. (If anything, Adam and the Antediluvian patriarchs were not at all some freaks of nature because of their near-millennial lifespans. It is we modern-day racially-divided "midgets of longevity" who are the genetic misfits, while Adam and his direct descendants were specimens of perfect genetic health.)
        Chapters five through eleven of Genesis faithfully document this incredible account of human longevity and its drastic decline. But how would such an immense longevity and its drastic decline impact human society as a whole? This is where the science of neural networks comes into play, and this is where things get really interesting. Every neural network, including the biological variety found in the human body, exists in a perpetually dynamic state, in that it is constantly growing and evolving in response to some form of external stimuli, always learning new methods of coordination between stimuli and response. The longer that neural network exists in its "world," the more elaborate its structure becomes, and the more it learns how to do. Likewise, the sooner you "kill off" a neural network, the less elaborate its final structure, and the less it is capable of doing. These same rules definitely apply to both the human brain and the human nervous system, the original neural networks. Even if there weren't any neural network science some ten thousand years ago, those same rules would have still applied. So far, we only know what to expect from the neural network of a human being who lives up to roughly one hundred years of age. And even so, the brain and nervous system of some elderly people actually begin to deteriorate due to the onslaught of old age, and so the neural network is already severely damaged by the time the individuals die. Thus it can be safely stated that no one in this present generation has ever witnessed how elaborate a neural network can grow, and what capabilities it can achieve, within a healthy individual who is two hundred years of age, or three hundred, or five hundred, or eight hundred, or older. Although we can theorize about what the brains and nervous systems of these exceptionally long-lived people must have been capable of, the true evidence of their miraculous achievements may have actually been calling out to us from those ancient megalithic ruins all along.
        "What's the connection," one may be asking in utter disbelief. First of all, let's consider again what is known of those ancient megalithic ruins. First, they're roughly ten thousand years old. Second, they consist of stone blocks weighing many hundreds of tons apiece, yet those same blocks were cut and fashioned with a skill that rivals or surpasses even our own. Third, those same stone blocks were quarried many miles away from their destination, and their sheer weight and size, coupled in some cases with extremely rough terrain, made it simply impossible for even an army of laborers to haul from quarry to construction site. Fourth, as elaborate as these megalithic ruins were, no blueprints and no writing have ever been found, and even the monumental stones themselves lack any kind of inscription in any language. And fifth, absolutely no heavy construction tools, no precision tools tipped with a hard substance like diamond, and no elaborate measuring devices have ever been found at the ruins, not even a single hammer. Now, rather than considering these things to be impossible, how about considering them to be miraculous instead? What was the neural network of a three-hundred-year-old human being capable of? What happens when that human being is several hundred years older? What if these ancient people didn't have heavy construction equipment or tools because they simply didn't need such equipment or tools? What if they didn't have blueprints or writing because they simply didn't need either of them? And what if they didn't have sophisticated computers, global telecommunications, or the Internet to rapidly exchange and coordinate important information about their projects because they simply didn't need any of those electronic devices? Even in a "limited-longevity" human race such as this modern generation, there are still anomalous developments in the neural networks of a few individuals, developments that result in paranormal abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, remote viewing, and levitation, to name but a few. In a race of human beings that lived to be four hundred or five hundred years of age, such paranormal abilities must have been more than commonplace, which is why these people gave GOD a run for the money in chapter eleven of Genesis! And in a race of human beings that lived to almost one millennium in age (with most of them also being immediate descendants of Adam, who was CREATED as a mature adult by the very HAND of GOD), those same abilities must have truly been off the charts, which is why those people were called the "Nephilim," the "Giants in the Earth," and why the abuse of those same overwhelming abilities resulted in the great flood.
        Of our modern day, Jesus Christ said that things would be the same at His eventual Return as they were during the days of Noah, i.e. the Antediluvian Age, or the Age of the Nephilim. Today, we have advanced computers and the global Internet. Antediluvian man did not need such a computer because the neural network of his centuries-old brain could outstrip any and every computer we have today. And Antediluvian people did not need the Internet because the collective telepathic power of their centuries-old brains perpetually generated a global telepathic network containing more information than one billion of our Internets combined, information that included complex thoughts, ideas, experiences, and emotions as well as animated three-dimensional images, sounds, smells, tastes, tactile sensations, and words. The telepathic network probably existed after the flood as well, until GOD DIVIDED the human race and SHORTENED the human lifespan. All thoughts, objects, emotions, and concepts are still associated with words, so the DIVIDING of human language stifled man's ability to maintain the telepathic network by placing linguistic barriers between the people's brains. Instead of being like one group of radios all tuned to the same frequency, their brains became like multiple groups of different radios tuned to drastically different frequencies. As the years passed, and the different races also began to realize that their drastically decreasing longevity was about to take away the last of their telepathic abilities and their vast mental archives, systems of physical writing and reading had to be developed in order to save what precious little information remained. The written archives that contributed to the writing of Genesis were probably compiled when the feeble remains of the dying telepathic networks were finally snuffed out like a small flame. Today, we use heavy construction equipment and powerful cutting-tools to work with heavy stone masonry. Antediluvian man's augmented telekinetic abilities enabled him to work the stone with his very thoughts, and then transport the stone by levitating it with his mind. These abilities were as innate to him as flexing an arm or a leg is to modern man, which is why Antediluvian man simply didn't need any heavy construction equipment or powerful cutting-tools to build his amazing megalithic monuments. But again, the decline in longevity took away those abilities as well, which is why man had to develop tools and devices to do the same jobs. The innate ability of human flight suffered the same tragedy. Antediluvian man had no need for any kind of flying machine. His advanced telekinetic abilities enabled him to levitate himself and fly at will. If he could levitate massive stone blocks weighing many hundreds of tons, then he could easily levitate himself. But again, as humanity's longevity declined, so did the innate ability of self-levitation and human flight, until even the memory of that ability vanished from all but the most obscure fables and the deepest of subconscious dreams. The harsh new post-flood Earth, the DIVISION of humanity, and the drastically shortened human lifespan were challenges humanity had never seen before. As such, humanity had absolutely no countermeasures for dealing with those challenges and protecting superhuman capabilities. Otherwise, the Antediluvian people would have gone out of their way to protect the delicate geological balances that maintained their ecologically perfect environment, ambassadors from every newly-DIVIDED race would have worked together tirelessly to develop telepathic translation matrices and break through the telepathic language-barriers, and people everywhere would have developed some standard form of unified healing and group power-meditation techniques aimed at massively accelerating the development of superhuman telepathic and telekinetic abilities to a rate that would fit within the horrendously brief new lifespan. Unfortunately, hindsight is always twenty-twenty, and by the time humanity had fully grasped what was being TAKEN AWAY, it was already too late.
        Then again, according to the Bible, the REMOVAL of man's superhuman capabilities actually SAVED man's very life. Consider what man became in chapter six of Genesis. It's not at all impossible to imagine the overwhelming violence a superhuman with basic moral frailties would commit. Even in our day, people have been known to commit some of the most horrendous wrongs, like the violent terrorist attacks that claimed thousands of innocent lives on September 11^th, 2001. People have been known to shoot, stab, beat to death, violently rape, or poison each other over money, power, race, beliefs, sex, love, or any combination of the aforementioned and numerous other reasons. Even non-violent crimes like lying, cheating, and stealing are moral frailties that can pose a major threat when the person committing those crimes is as superhumanly powerful as the average Antediluvian. These people were not called the Nephilim for nothing. Lamech, a descendant of Cain the Murderer, had a ridiculously pronounced thirst for violence, and he even bragged about it to both of his wives. At some point in the Antediluvian world, people with superhuman powers probably built their megalithic structures as fortresses of defense, namely, defense against the more bloodthirsty elements of their society, very much like the gated communities that protect residents against crime in our modern society. Unfortunately, Antediluvian man's power became too great, even for those megalithic fortifications. The most violent Antediluvians had the telekinetic power to "think a man or woman to death," violently twisting the victim's vital organs into the most convoluted pretzels, cooking the victim's brain inside the skull, or snapping the victim's neck like a small twig. And as their powers increased, so did their appetite for violence, fueled by the most basic forms of human selfishness, pride, greed, lust, and wrath. Instead of merely taking vengeance against one individual, an angry Antediluvian eventually became capable of simultaneously slaughtering millions of innocent people with a single thought. The final use of awesome telekinesis to turn gigantic underground magma-chambers into super-weapons of mass destruction was what led to the great flood. Originally, those magma-chambers were located near numerous equally-large underground water-tables, at just the right distance to cause a light mist to come up from the ground and water the face of the Earth, as described in Genesis. At the same time, a vast high-altitude layer of vaporized water (in Genesis, the "waters above the firmament"), known as the "aquasphere," maintained an ideal atmospheric pressure and protected the Antediluvian environment from the debilitating levels of radiation we suffer today. When the magma-weapon was first used to engulf and destroy a city of many millions, this caused an astonishingly tremendous geological imbalance that led to catastrophic, mind-boggling tectonic shifts. Destroying countless other cities, those tectonic shifts, and the additional geological imbalances they caused, created numerous gigantic ruptures in the underground water-tables, unleashing trillions of gallons of water upon the entire surface of the Earth: these were the fountains of the great deep being broken up, as documented in Genesis. The unnatural temperature-changes caused by the magma-weapon also disrupted the aquasphere, resulting in a tremendous global rainfall that lasted for almost a month and a half. Both sources of water completely covered the entire planet by many thousands of feet in depth, and even after the waters receded to form new underground water-tables, the world's oceans were still several thousand feet higher than they were in the Antediluvian world.
        Now it would be easy for one of us to say, "Man's ability to love, forgive, and express brotherhood could have easily held his baser nature in check." But those are words that come from many thousands of years of experiences, including DIVINE INTERVENTIONS at numerous points in human history. Antediluvians had no such experiences and no such DIVINE INTERVENTIONS. In fact, the only major DIVINE INTERVENTION they had was when Adam and Eve were THROWN OUT of the Garden of Eden for blatantly betraying their MAKER. Afterwards, they had to be TAUGHT how to Offer animal Blood-Sacrifices (the Sign of the future Messiah) in order to Fellowship with GOD. Aside from the lineage of Antediluvian patriarchs that led up to Noah and his family, absolutely no one else retained GOD in their thoughts, not even in their most sacred reflections. In a world of billions, with the most sophisticated global telepathic network that has ever existed to date, only eight people Walked with GOD. That GOD was completely absent from the hearts and minds of just about the entire Antediluvian world (except for Noah and his family, those eight people) was the very reason that the wickedness of man was great in all the Earth, with every thought and every imagination of the Antediluvian heart consisting of only evil continually, as documented in Genesis. Human selfishness reigned supreme, and the Antediluvians' superhuman powers only elevated that selfishness to astonishing heights.
        Although the wording of Genesis doesn't directly suggest it, GOD is LOVE. HE COULD have easily DESTROYED Adam and Eve for their grievous offense (and HE WOULD have been JUSTIFIED in SO DOING), but HE DIDN'T. HE COULD have ALLOWED the entire world to perish in the flood, but HE SAVED Noah, his family, and all the living creatures that boarded the ark. And there are numerous places in the Bible where GOD BRINGS evil and suffering upon people as well as BRINGING goodness and prosperity. But upon closer examination of Biblical books like Job, one will find that Satan or some other entity is the one actually causing the evil and the suffering while GOD, WHO OWNS everything and everyone by default, CLAIMS Responsibility. For spiritually immature people who had yet to be SAVED by the Messiah, GOD HAD to CLAIM Responsibility for the evil and the suffering so that they would continue to Worship HIM. Humanity already had a problem with running after false gods (i.e. gods that didn't exist), so if GOD HADN'T TIGHTENED the reigns by CLAIMING Responsibility for the good and for the evil, the people would have turned aside and Worshipped Satan, who is very much a real being. GOD is LIGHT, and as such, there is absolutely no darkness in HIM at all. Therefore, GOD is ETERNAL LOVE. HE may have CLAIMED Full Responsibility for the flood, even SAYING in Genesis that HE CAUSED it, but it was a truly violent and unbelievably powerful humanity that destroyed the former world. And GOD DIVIDED humanity into numerous races in order to PREVENT that level of superhuman empowerment, which inevitably led to superhuman destruction, from ever occurring again.
        No matter how ancient, astonishing, and overwhelming megalithic ruins like the Giza Pyramids, Pumapunku, and the Bosnian Pyramids may be, common sense should always remind us that anything in ruins is a grand testament of its failure to survive. You don't put a classic, mint-condition Rolls Royce in the junkyard to be wrecked. Neither would you keep driving a filthy, worn-out Ford Pinto with a bad transmission and a busted engine block. Likewise, ruins that belong to an ancient, long-dead civilization are the ultimate statement of a civilization that didn't work. Otherwise, if that civilization did work, then the same civilization in its entirety would still be with us today, and it would show absolutely no signs of decay or collapse at any time. Instead of being in ruins, the megalithic structures of the Sphinx and the Osirion would still be in use today if the civilizations that built them were continued success-stories instead of ultimate failures. Apparently, the incredibly skilled, amazingly powerful individuals who built those ruins still failed to overcome the moral frailties of human selfishness and wanton corruption which eventually destroy any great civilization, explaining why their greatest monuments lie in ruins today. If anything, those and many other ancient ruins around the world should be considered ominous warnings to our so-called "advanced modern-day civilization": the same unchecked moral frailties that completely wiped out their civilization could easily do the same to ours.

What Ever Happened to Bush and Cheney???

... No, really, what ever happened to the previous President and Vice-President of the United States? You know, the guys who were in office for EIGHT YEARS, from 2001 to 2008? The guys who were in charge when September 11th, 2001, went down? The guys who used September 11th, 2001, to pass the Patriot Act, basically ushering in a twenty-first-century version of McCarthy-Era blind persecution? The guys who used September 11th, 2001, as an excuse to mercilessly invade Afghanistan and Iraq for their oil resources? The guys who wasted BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars invading the two aforementioned countries? The guys who sent DOZENS of soldiers into peril for the sake of their multi-billion-dollar corporate oil-greed? The guys who allowed (and probably even CAUSED) Wall Street to spin wildly out of control and land the entire nation into the 2.2-trillion-dollar hell-hole that is still affecting us today?

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BUSH AND CHENEY, THE REAL REASON THIS NATION IS AN ECONOMIC MESS TODAY???!!!

Every time I turn on CNN, I sit dumbfounded as the Republicans boldly declare that America's economic nightmare was all President Obama's fault, AND A MYRIAD OF AMERICANS BLINDLY AGREE WITH THEM, AS IF BUSH AND CHENEY DID ABSOLUTELY NO WRONG! How about we engage in some common-sense thinking for a minute, you know, BRING YOU TURKEYS BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. Was Obama President in 2008, during the 2.2-trillion-dollar economic meltdown that left you jobless today? "No," you say? Well, then, WHO was President in 2008? "W," right? OK, excellent, now we're back on Planet Earth! Now, who was President in 2007? ... 2006? ... 2005? ... 2004? ... 2003? ... 2002? ... 2001? Again, it was "W," and not his good twin brother, right? That's what I thought! See how easy it is when you use common sense?

Oh, and here's a kick in the head. When "W" (a.k.a. baby-Bush, because his father was also Bush, and was also President from 1988 to 1992) took office in 2001, didn't this nation have AN ECONOMIC SURPLUS INSTEAD OF A DEFICIT??? This means that in eight years time, Bush ("W") and Cheney wrecked the American economy, used terrorism to terrorize the American people into submission, invaded two countries for the sake of big oil, and forced America to put out enough petrochemical waste to make the nation one of the major polluters of the world, right up there with Communist China, contributing to global warming in a major way. Oh, and here's another major kick in the head. The American people knew that Bush and Cheney were up to no good back in 2004, WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO ELECT A DIFFERENT PRESIDENT. But instead, America mindlessly put those two clowns BACK in Office. (I voted for Kerry and Edwards back in 2004. I don't know why the heck all you other people voted differently, but maybe it had something to do with that stupid fear-tactic the Republican-owned newsmedia used against you all right before the polls opened, i.e. "Osama Bin Laden plans even more terrorist attacks against the U.S.," or some ridiculous report like that.) So in reality, if you truly wish to know why America is such a mess today, don't just point at Bush and Cheney. Find yourself a big enough mirror and point one of those bony fingers at yourself.

Our Falling Society

In the dead of night, between Friday evening and Saturday morning (July 22 and July 23), some creep smashed out the entire rear window of my vehicle while it was parked on the street in front of my home. I was sleeping so hard, I didn't hear anything. I wasn't even aware of the damage until my next-door neighbor alerted me to it that Saturday morning. I was always aware that American society has been slowly decaying right before our very eyes. Now I have become one of the victims of that societal decay. People try to reason with me and tell me that I should be thankful the damage wasn’t any worse, and that the thug or thugs didn't actually try to attack me in my home while I was asleep. But the fact that someone could actually stoop so low as to attack someone else's property means that they have little to no respect for themselves and for their fellow citizen. Worse, several other vehicles in my neighborhood were attacked in the same way, which means that what was once a quiet, peaceful neighborhood is now being overrun by yet another crime wave. It's bad enough that we have an increasing number of reckless new commuters speeding down our streets, ignoring almost every Stop-sign while mindlessly chattering on their handheld cellular phones (which is now illegal in the State of California), and threatening our children. It's bad enough that we have an increasing number of derelicts and prostitutes wandering through our streets. (I even had to throw one derelict off of my front porch when I discovered him trying to camp out there for the night, and he had the nerve to cuss me out when I told him he had to leave: my home is NOT public property!) It's bad enough that an increasing number of new "neighbors" insist on disrespecting everyone else in the neighborhood by having loud house parties at 1:00AM on a weekday, inviting all of their non-carpooling friends to take up every inch of street parking AND totally block your driveway (which is also illegal in the state of California) so that you can't even get your vehicle out of the driveway, and then letting their dogs and their kids tear up YOUR front lawn in spite of the fence you've placed around it. (Yep, ALL of this has happened to me recently.) Now we have an increasing number of miscreants who have nothing better to do than attack your property. But think, this is not that far removed from having an increasing number of miscreants who have nothing better to do than attack YOU.

You know what really makes all of this so ridiculous? ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. How, you ask? BY ACTUALLY TAKING THE TIME TO CORRECTLY RAISE YOUR CHILDREN BACK IN 1991, 1981, OR EVEN 1971, SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T GROW UP TO BE THUGS, FELONS, CON-ARTISTS, AND DISRESPECTFULLY SELFISH ADULT BRATS IN 2011. Whenever you allow a corrupt society to eviscerate your children's souls of all virtue, meaning, culture, learning, wisdom, discipline, tradition, and history, you can only expect anarchy to follow, even if it comes many decades later. There are incredibly tall trees that have been growing for hundreds, even thousands of years, but they all started out as a tiny seed. As a bad seed, poor parenting and a lackluster education may take decades to manifest themselves, but rest assured, they will bring forth their bitter fruits, resulting in the destruction of everything we Americans hold dear.

To All High School Students Seeking a College Counselor ...

If you're a High School student who needs counseling on which College to go to after graduation, and the first words out of a College Counselor's mouth are "You can be anything you want to be," then you need to avoid that Counselor as though he or she were the Plague. That's because he or she is really saying, "I have to counsel dozens of other students who look and smell just like you, so I really have neither the time nor the desire to get to know you better as a person, find out what your true gifts and talents really are, and sincerely spend the days, weeks, or months it really takes to point you in the right direction for a successful life before, during, and after College." Saying "You can be anything you want to be" makes as much sense as saying a fork can be a plate, or a knife can be a cup, or a washcloth can be a pneumatic jackhammer. Every individual human being was born with a unique set of innate gifts. Focus on those gifts, and you maximize your life, fulfilling it with purpose and meaning. Ignore those gifts, and you waste your life, wallowing in frustration and mediocrity. If anything, that lackluster College Counselor took the job as a means of paying bills or affording a new luxury car, and not because he or she really cared about any High School student's future. And his or her choice to become a Counselor probably resulted from having long since ignored his or her own true gifts, wasting his or her own life, and wallowing in frustration and mediocrity. You simply cannot expect excellent advice from a mediocre Counselor.

"Miraculous Empowerment from a Government Perspective"

Everyone at some point in time has imagined what it would be like to have superhuman powers. Some people have dreamed of being faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound. Others have wondered what it would be like to walk on water, multiply loaves and fishes, change water into wine, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out real demons, and command the weather with a single word. And some have even conducted scientific research into human paranormal abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, and astral projection. Every human being has, at one point or another, fantasized about being capable of seeing more, doing more, and being more than a mere flesh-and-blood being trapped within the tight confines of space and time. And when the average person actually does catch a glimpse of the superhuman, a taste of life beyond the restrictions of space and time, he or she is filled with excitement and inspiration. But what fills that average person with excitement and inspiration actually causes the average government to cringe. That is because what the common civilian sees as an exciting and inspiring new way of life, government sees as a potential for the worst threat against all forms of legislative authority and law enforcement.

The reason governments perceive the development of civilian superhuman abilities as a threat arises from the very nature of every government's intrinsic purpose. All governments consist of a political organization that dictates, manages, and protects the rights, privileges, and affairs of its subjects. The political organization can consist of one or more persons, and some large organizations can contain more than one legislative office. Nevertheless, all governments must be able to control their subjects in order to effectively govern them. Any government that can no longer control its subjects effectively ceases to exist, and this means that the very society once upheld by that government also ceases to exist. An important part of government control is law enforcement. In most societies, law enforcement protects law-abiding citizens while punishing law-breakers. In extreme cases of law-enforcement, officers must be capable of arresting, subduing, and neutralizing a suspected criminal, and government agencies must be capable of punishing convicted criminals according to law. Many non-government individuals might wonder what any of this government talk has to do with a perfectly harmless quest for miraculous empowerment and superhuman abilities. In the government official's mind, no such quest is harmless. Suppose a civilian does find some way to withstand certain forces or elements that would otherwise kill a human being outright. And that civilian wants to use his or her newfound power for good, to help others in distress. To the government official, it doesn't matter how benign, virtuous, heroic, or law-abiding this super-civilian may be. That same power could also be used to withstand any and every instrument or weapon used by law-enforcement to control the civilian population, and that threat is simply unacceptable. Worse still would be the realization that such a superhuman power could be acquired by anyone. According to government opinion, if nearly all law-abiding citizens and criminals alike acquired the power to withstand all of a given government's traditional instruments and weapons of control, then that government would be struggling for its very existence, if it hadn't already been extinguished. And if that government finally does cease to exist, then social order would vanish right along with it, and the violent anarchy arising from superhuman rivalries and cataclysmic turf-wars would swiftly fill the gaping void. Furthermore, such a horrific problem would scarcely remain isolated within the borders of one city, one state, or one nation alone. With every human being craving this power, the problem of superhuman anarchy would rapidly become a global crisis, threatening every government throughout the world. One would very well reason, "Why should I obey any government when I have the power to be my own God?"

This is the nightmare that ultra-secretive government organizations have been striving to prevent for decades, if not for centuries. Such organizations keep their existence a secret in order to carry out their agendas without any resistance from the public at large, and they exist as an integral part of every major government throughout the world. In order to maintain their agenda of preventing and neutralizing the civilian manifestation, development, and utilization of extreme miraculous and superhuman abilities, these secret organizations work tirelessly to suppress, conceal, neutralize, and destroy any and every object, element, substance, nourishment, phenomenon, place, event, or idea that could lead to even one civilian acquiring such superhuman abilities. Throughout the world, these secret organizations have methodically spirited away every major, detailed ancient writing that successfully teaches people how to acquire and utilize superhuman abilities. These writings have either been hidden in the most remote, unknown, inaccessible parts of the world, only to be used by the nameless members of the organizations that have hidden them, or they have been completely destroyed due to their "lethality." The current global library of spiritual, esoteric, and occult writings is nothing more than a dumbed-down version, one that the world population at large has been deceived into accepting as the original library. Throughout the more modern decades of our society, these same secret organizations have enacted ubiquitous technological countermeasures against civilian superhuman abilities. These countermeasures include, but are scarcely limited to, the constant broadcasting of specific electromagnetic signals from both the power grid and numerous modern electronic devices, the tight regulation of available foods and beverages, the creation and use of special synthetic chemicals throughout society, the tight regulation and constant use of specific chemicals in the food supply, the genetic reengineering of the food supply, the constant pollution of the environment with specific chemicals, and the carefully orchestrated use of specific patterns of phrases, images, sounds, and advertisements in printed, graphical, audio, cinematic, and video media. Nearly all of these modern countermeasures have been refined by decades of ultra-secret mind-control experiments to the level of an art.

And yet, even centuries before the existence of modern technology and covert mind-control experiments, ancient governments have had the same fears against the presence of superhuman powers within the civilian population, even if their efforts against the civilian manifestation and utilization of such powers were far less covert and considerably more violent. Consider this peasant carpenter named Jesus who lived in Nazareth during the days of the Roman Empire. As a holy man who preached that he was the long-awaited Messiah, he demonstrated incredibly miraculous powers, including the ability to walk on water, multiply loaves and fishes, change water into wine, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out real demons, and command the weather with a single word. Furthermore, until he chose to lay down his life, no one was able to kill him. But when he finally did lay down his life, the Jewish religious government wasted no time in having him crucified. After he was resurrected from the dead (which the same Jewish religious government has denied even to this day: they claim that his disciples stole his body), he then commissioned his disciples to continue preaching in his name. And because those men also manifested the same superhuman miracles, both the Jewish religious government and the Imperial Government of Rome viciously hunted them down and had them put to death. It wasn't until enough of the early church had been infiltrated over the centuries, and the superhuman powers were no longer a threat, that the Roman Government finally ceased persecuting the church. Three centuries after the church was born, Emperor Constantine, claiming that a divine Christian revelation gave him victory in battle, finally made Christianity the religion of Rome. Emperor Constantine's pro-Christian legislation was also another example of how high-ranking government officials encourage their own miraculous empowerment while discouraging the same empowerment within the masses. As long as the highest leader was the one working the miracles, all was right with the world. But if a civilian possessed more miraculous power than what the leader possessed, then that civilian was considered the ultimate threat, and therefore had to be put to death immediately. Regardless of the time and place, no government likes to be upstaged when it comes to power, and especially not by one of its own lowly citizens.

Now if you ask any American government official whether or not the United States Government is actively pursuing an agenda of neutralizing the civilian development and utilization of miraculous, superhuman abilities, that government official might openly respond with either a sincere denial or scornful laughter against the idea, or both. That is how he or she would respond openly. But don't get it twisted. Behind closed doors, in the highest offices of power, those same officials either discuss this ultimate threat with their colleagues or work on existing covert projects against the threat (think Black-Ops), or both. All of these aforementioned risks and dangers should give any seeker of miraculous, superhuman powers pause to reconsider the reasons for his or her quest. If you are such a seeker, then are you ready for the severe responsibilities these powers will bring? Could you really handle the government hunting down either you or your loved ones? Here's an even more serious consideration: if your power somehow does exceed any and every power throughout human society, then can you really say that you would police yourself? Do you really think that you would be fit to have such superhuman powers if you are still a slave to the same carnal lusts and selfish corruption? Even Jesus the carpenter refused to use his superhuman powers to turn stones into bread, no matter how hungry he was in the wilderness. No matter how noble or impassioned you are in your quest for the miraculous, always consider the big picture. And if you can't do that, then maybe it's a good thing the government is hindering you after all.
