Disclosure? by Steven http://www.dharmasanctuary.org/2012/01/30/e-t-disclosure/#comment-2021 Steven Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:43:56 +0000 http://www.dharmasanctuary.org/?p=4158#comment-2021 Thanks again Andy for keeping these controversial topics in front of us. Personally, I don't see how it could be possible that there isn't ET phenomena. Clearly they are advanced technologically and they appear to have a highly developed aesthetic and symbology consonant with ours, e.g. crop circles. I love all of your questions and look forward to future discussions of these issues. My guess is that an ET perspective could put centuries of myth and cultural preference into perspective and bring about highly needed technologies and other perspectives to contribute to our sustainable survival here on earth. The alternative energy technologies alone would be huge, of course. Moving to a non-war, peaceful culture worldwide would also be enormous and so welcomed.

]]> Comment on Financial Tyranny by Andrew http://www.dharmasanctuary.org/2012/01/16/financial-tyranny/#comment-1992 Andrew Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:45:16 +0000 http://www.dharmasanctuary.org/?p=4119#comment-1992 Thanks Steven for the encouragement. It is a challenge to sustain this inquiry, because so many people think it is morose and a waste of time. Many of us would rather stay on the bright side, finding it an intrusion that someone would continue harping on the dark side. It's a difficult path to be able to shine a flashlight down in the depths and not fall into the same despair. When people add their own judgment of the futility of this, it makes for an even greater challenge. Personally, I find strength in uncovering important information previously hidden to me, even if it is dark. "Knowledge will set you free", is my motivation. I have decided to share this inspiration. People can either share back or ignore it. So, I will continue with my version of "Cliff Notes", and again thank those that have a similar resolve to help reveal the injustices of the world and to vision a path out of the darkness.

I enjoy that you are synthesizing the synthesizer (David Wilcox) and would love to see you do a lot more of this, i.e. there's a lot of information to integrate, so the extent you can summarize the key points and bottom-line the discussion, I believe it would be helpful to many of us who have a difficult time working our way through the detailed, complete story. I like knowing that the detailed resource is there and it could be noted (much as Wilcox himself has done), but a succinct summary would be very useful. My short summary of what I'm saying, "The Cliff Notes Please." Thanks Andy for bringing our attention to this research.

A healthy dose of skepticism, or at least strong discernment is called for in establishing one's truth. Conspiracy theories can indeed be founded on a slippery slope and represent a paranoid fantasy. It is hard to know what is one's fabrication and what is objective truth. All we can do is synthezise the information as best we can. I think the trick is to stay flexible and avoid hard and fast truths. When further information becomes available, take a look again and revise if necessary. In this way, we can participate in a process of skillfully opening up to new information, rather than trying to construct a belief system we can hang our hat on.

Just because its not mainstream it should always be taken as true. When delving into conspiracy theory, caution is advised, least you end up in someones (maybe your own) paranoid fantasy.

The implications are truly shocking. Perhaps our greatest ally right now is the internet, a way for the 99% to connect and freely share information. (Perhaps that's also why the elite are attempting to take internet freedom away.) Clearly two things are needed: the clear seeing of what is actually going on behind the curtain and a clear vision of a new possibility around which we can align. I'm grateful that you are bringing these hard issues to our attention. Thanks Andy for taking this “rabbit hole” on. The implications are truly shocking.

I too thoroughly enjoyed Thrive. I thought it dealt with some pretty horrifying issues in a context that felt hopeful and transformative. At the end, I thought, "We can do this. We can wake up and build a new world with our personal connections and choices. We can explore the anti-life game that's being played and out-create the 1%." Thanks Andy for synthesizing a lot of material and giving us a clear vision of what's happening in just a few words. Very well done. Thank you Faith and Andy. I too thoroughly enjoyed Thrive.

I agree that we need an awakening to a new consciousness, a new view of the world, which will manifest an entirely fresh approach to government, energy, the economy, the environment, education, healthcare and all the rest. By the way, tonight I just saw an excellent move from Spiritual Cinema called I AM. See http://iamthedoc.com/ The movie was made my the director of Ace Ventura. Thank you.
