ET Monitoring of the Chinese Preparations for Colonizing Mars

Last week I was having a conversation with Dude (Katowwa) and he surprised me by telling me that he was walking around a special site in China where they are about to begin testing human endurance for traveling through space and for being isolated on Mars. The testing actually starts today and it marks a significant milestone in the China’s movement into space. The site is in a large cave system in the central region of NE China and the cave itself is approximately 400 m long by 200 m wide and 60 m high. The Chinese space agency – China National Space Administration (CNSA) has built a set of modules in 2 parts. One part is the equivalent of a space craft and the other part is the equivalent of a very small colony on Mars. They started sketching out the idea a decade ago and they began building the site 5 years ago and finished it in 2 years. They’ve been retro/future fitting it with lots of technology and modern conveniences and now they’re ready to put people inside. There will be two groups. One group will spend almost 2 years in the space craft module, whilst the other group will spend almost 2 years in the colony module. When the time is up, the colony group will come out first, it will be cleaned and then the people from the space craft group will spend another 2 years in the colony module. They’ve fitted windows in both modules to simulate the environment of space and the environment of Mars. They have certain activities and experiments that they want the simulation astronauts to undertake and they’re going to test how the astronauts cope with their isolation. The first colony will have 6 men in it. The second colony (also the spacecraft) will have 4 men and 4 women in it. When the second group moves from the space craft to the colony after simulating a landing on Mars, they will pass through a simulated Martian environment within the cave. The cave has been fitted with Mars like conditions that they hope will make it feel real.

So Dude is inspecting the site to see how it’s looking just prior to the installation of the astronauts. He’s been to the site a few times already and return several times throughout the life of the project. He’s doing this by himself without any invitation from the CNSA and even though they have cameras fitted to the cave, he will be undetectable as he will be out of phase with the space in the cave. (He does similar things often at classified sites around the globe). Dude said that he was curious to see how the the CNSA simulate things and to see how the project goes. He may or may not let himself be visible to a few people onboard the modules when he visits, it all depends on how they’re coping. He doesn’t want to freak them out too much! Apparently the Chinese hope to send people on a Mars mission in five years time (May 2026), which will be a year after they complete the project (May 2025). It will take 18 months to get to Mars and from what Dude can see they will succeed in getting to Mars but it won’t be as easy as they think to set up a colony. They’ll have many problems, so they’ll resort to setting up a space station in orbit around Mars, which will take 20 years to establish and then maybe another 5-6 years before they can get the first modules on the planet. Simultaneously the Chinese will create a significant sized space station around Earth (which of course they have already started). The ETs will be carefully controlling everything, which is why Dude is currently monitoring this project. In terms of the people onboard the modules, there are 2 good people he really likes who will be onboard the space craft module but he doesn’t particularly like the people who have been chosen for the first colony and he sees some problems developing with that group, relative to the group on board the space craft module, who he believes will have a more harmonious relationship.

When I spoke to Dude he was visiting the site for a couple of hours and he told me that he has left some mysterious objects in a few places – things that they won’t be able to account for, just to make it interesting and to see how they react (In Dude’s words : “You gotta spice things up Bright! You know how humans are, they need a little action, a little of the unexpected!”). I know that this is his way of studying people’s reactions and it also reflects his sense of humour!

Apparently the Chinese have learnt a great deal from American, European and Russian experiments with astronauts in isolated places and this project and others like it will teach them a lot about what works and what doesn’t work. The site will continue to be used for the next hundred or so years for similar projects. There will be a number of unexpected things that will occur, that they won’t be able to imagine, guess or learn from past experiences. Which is why it’s important that they do this, so that they can learn for their real world experiences.

The cave still has some small life forms in it. A few things have already been killed or displaced and some other life forms will be displaced but some small life forms will adapt to the new conditions. Dude seems to be equally interested in how these life forms will adapt the modifications that humans have made to the cave.

The Chinese will start running these sorts of simulated caves tests with AI and robots in 10-12 years and that’s also how they’ll co-colonize the moon and Mars. When human’s aren’t there, robots will be there. Dude is very impressed with how far the Chinese have come in such a short time. Dude said the Chinese have also put numerous objects on Mars but they haven’t spoken about it yet, so as to avoid the prying eyes of the Americans.

Anyway, I found this conversation with Dude quite interesting and it was amusing to hear his take on things and how easy it is for him to go wherever he wants and to keep tabs on anything that anyone is doing in secret.

Dude was quite happy for me to share this information and I had a sense that he was happy to spill the beans on this apparent secret. I don’t know if it is a secret but he acted like it was.

Please note that nothing I have shared of Dude’s comments in this post contradicts the ET control of us remaining a planet bound / near Earth orbit species. A small colony will take a long time to establish and be fraught with challenges and many deaths. It will still take 1,600 years for us to become a fully fledged space faring species.

Don’t be surprised to hear soon that the Americans and Russians have new plans to accelerate their human missions to Mars, especially in view of the Chinese aspirations.

We should be celebrating the achievements of the Chinese in space because it is a human achievement! Well done China!

Stay tuned to the official news for more on the Chinese mission to Mars and any secret testing that they begin speaking about.

PS. Update. I just discovered the news below as I was about to post. (These maybe animations but I don’t think anyone should underestimate the Chinese tenacity for doing what they want!)

Fuck You Elon Musk and Starlink!

I was recently privileged to seeing a very large formation of ET craft. Since then I have seen several more large geometrical formations and the normal craft that appear in different locations. A few days ago I decided to look up Australian UFO reports and was surprised to find about half a dozen reports that coincided to some degree with what I saw in terms of the general alignment of the craft. I saw the formation within 15 minutes of asking to see a formation and felt a very personal connection to what I was witnessing and to what my son later witnessed (which was on a different flight path).  Soon after I saw the craft Dude confirmed that there were 60 craft in total. Several days after the sighting, a spotlight seemingly coming from nowhere could be seen on the side of my house and inside the lounge room and the bedroom. One within a minute of seeing a formation and another within minutes of seeing a several separate individual craft.

Having found numerous other reports (reports which span a period of several weeks (and years when you dig far enough back), I thought I best see if there was any possibility that they could be satellites that other people were reporting (or that I had seen). It was then that I realized that Elon Musk’s SpaceX group has already started implementing the Starlink Mission. I knew it was coming but had not followed it closely. Starlink is a massive satellite project (releasing some 60 satellites at a time – coincidence hey!) with the aim of providing a global broadband service by 2021, with a plan to deploy it around Mars in the future (I suspect they want a network of satellites throughout the solar system!). So far Starlink have released 122 satellites and the last of Starlink’s satellites will be deployed in November 2027 and by then they will have deployed 11,936 satellites (with 42,000 in total when the project is complete) (each weighing about 100 to-500 kg). It’s like GPS satellites on steroids! A network of satellites and satellite trains enveloping the planet! Wikipedia says that there are about 5,000 satellites still in orbit from about 8,900 that have been deployed and of these about 1900 that are still functional. 42,000 will be a massive increase! An 8,400 % increase!

Many professional astronomers are outraged at what SpaceX have done and I fully sympathize with them. Starlink will wreck enjoying and observing the night sky and make outdoor ET contact much more difficult due to the distraction and confusion that it may cause. FUCK YOU ELON MUSK FOR WRECKING THE NIGHT SKY! AND FUCK THE US FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION FOR AUTHORIZING THE DEPLOYMENT! All for fucking internet! Give me the heavens any day!

God knows how much space junk will end up orbiting our planet but I can see it turning out like it did in Wall-E if Elon Musk has his way. How the hell does one US government agency have the right to authorize SpaceX (despite numerous legal objections) to fuck up the night sky for every living thing on Earth! I can’t help wondering who the FCC has links to (https://www.fcc.gov/about/overview) and how well connected they are to the war machine and other aspects of The Architecture and The Diamond Complex. It smells stinkable to me!

It is my sincerest wish that people start a global series of petitions against SpaceX/Starlink and that some sort of international tribunal (with better integrity than the UN) takes this to court and puts a stop to what is just the beginning of  fucking up the night sky. This whole internet from space thing is set to go stupid, with Amazon planning to send up 3,236 satellites some time soon with it’s Project Kuiper, with OneWeb planning to send up 2,622 satellites, with Samsung planning on sending up 4,600 satellites  Microsatellite production companies such as Sierra Nevada Corp and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd may also become key players (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneWeb_satellite_constellation). Corporate networks and money – the two go hand in hand!

I wonder if any of these companies have thought of future risks to other low earth orbit craft or plants, animals or people or the impact the satellite light will have on our night sky? Elon’s comment on Twitter to do something about the albedo (“Agreed, sent a note to Starlink team last week specifically regarding albedo reduction. We’ll get a better sense of value of this when satellites have raised orbits & arrays are tracking to sun.“) sound pretty lame arsed to me!

Just as a small side note, it’s kind of funny that Elon had said half halfheartedly that the 2016 DARPA AI challenge Cyber Grand Challenge would lead to the creation of Skynet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator)). Skynet was the artificial neural network super intelligence in the Terminator movies that tried to Nuke the planet and wanted to destroy humanity. And it’s also amusing that Elon was a signatory to a letter against autonomous lethal weapons and has been a staunch advocate against the dangers of AI. I mean a massive planet surrounding network of communication satellites with the best high tech, replaced every 5 years, starting with the ability to transmit broadband internet, doesn’t sound too far of Skynet to me! And if it’s not SpaceX, someone else will be thinking about the Skynet model. Whether it’s in the US, Russia, the UK, China, India, the EU or an international consortium. Skynet plus Supercomputers and Cloud Networks equals money and control! Even right intentions can be swayed. Everyone has a price! Everyone!

I didn’t have to tell you about any of this or put my own experience under the spotlight but I do so in the interest of honesty and to let you know about the changes. So having had my experience with the recent formation, I wanted to be absolutely certain of what I saw. So I went back to the Satflare website to check the details on that particular night. And although there were some similarities, there were significant differences in terms of time, angle, start and finish position, luminosity and duration. I’ve also watched the Starlink trains since what I saw and they seem quite different. So I feel confident that what I saw was not Starlink. I do however find it amusing that Dude said that 60 craft materialized and 60 satellites were deployed by SpaceX last mission (Nov 11).  What I saw fits in well with other formations I have seen, even if it is unique. Of course some people will think I was mistaken and other people will believe me. I suspect as spring arrives in the northern hemisphere many people will have difficulty distinguishing Starlink from real ET craft formations and fights may well erupt over what was ET and what was man made.

You can track the Starlink Trains (1/2) on the site, so as to be aware of their presence https://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=starlink1 and you can learn more about Starlink here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlink_(satellite_constellation) and here https://www.starlink.com/. I for one will be monitoring the Starlink Train, so I don’t ever mistake it for anything else!

Steven Greer should take note of Starlink because it will have a profound impact on what he is trying to do with his new documentary and the success of global CE-5 groups and individual efforts to make ET contact!

Networks and the Human Fantasy of Colonizing the Galaxy and Becoming Inter-Galactic

The following videos are for those interested in the human fantasy of going out into space and colonizing the galaxy. For those who wish to know how space travel is actually done (shortening distances) go here https://etandi.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/tsm176-reticulum-manifolds-and-how-ets-travel-through-space/. And for those interested in my take on the pros and cons of space travel go here : http://thesomethingmonologues.podbean.com/e/tsm47-pros-and-cons-for-space-travel/. For the Teal’hia’s view of reality/space read here : https://etandi.wordpress.com/2018/03/07/a-space-reticulum-the-tealhia-on-reality/. And another relevant post go here : https://etandi.wordpress.com/2018/08/10/elon-musk-and-the-dream-of-multiplanetary-man/.

Take note of the method of creating a network in video 5 and take note of the similarities between that and a Space Reticulum. Networks are the key to human space travel and our eventual movement into deep space (in 1,600 years), as they are in the coming into being and in the development of everything else in the material universe.

(PS. I really like Richard Branson and I think he has much more to offer us than Elon Musk).

 

Earthfiles Off Track Again

Linda Moulton Howe seems to have been hoodwinked again. This post https://www.earthfiles.com/2019/01/15/whistleblower-says-u-s-space-force-already-secretly-exists-with-these-rank-insignias/ probably relates to a game like Elite Dangerous or the book Second Renaissance : http://second-renaissance.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_Space_Force or Star Depth. It appears to be a meme that had previously failed to take off. Linda really needs to do her homework !

Whohoo, Go Humanity ! Maybe ?

China has just achieved another first for the human  race, yesterday landing a craft in the Aitken Basin (near the south pole) on the far side of the moon ! China’s Chang’e 4 Lunar Mission (which includes a lander and a rover) has supposedly landed in an enormous crater that has some unique properties compared to other places that humans have explored. Because it’s landed on the far side of the moon, the Chinese had to previously set up a relay satellite help transmit signals back to Earth. In the footage released by the China National Space Administration, we see a simulated landing process and later the first images of the rover descending to the moon and stationary on the moon. I assume these simulated and static images maybe related to the difficulties of relaying the signal back to Earth but no doubt it will feed the conspiracy buffs who will see it as another fake moon landing. I am undecided as to whether this is real or not. If anyone can do this, it’s the Chinese ! The Chang’e 4 mission is a fantastic follow up to the Chang’e 1-3 missions. And if it’s authentic, it will provide humanity with an incredible window into our beloved moon ! Already it seems that we can see our moon in colour ! And lets be honest, we have to credit the Chinese for making red look very sexy on the moon ! Well done China !

 

It’s Time to Update the Golden Record

Many of you have heard of the famous Golden Record (http://goldenrecord.org/#viator) that Carl Sagan had created and sent out with Voyager 1 and 2 space craft in 1977. The story of the entire project and the list of material embedded on the record, are worth looking at and listening to. The Voyager Golden Record (VGR) was a snapshot of humanity in 1977 as determined by a group of middle aged American men. It was a pretty good summary of who we are and our planet but it was by no means inclusive of the human race, the other species or or the diversity of Earth. And of course the greatest limitation in making the record, was the limitation of the technology available in 1977. Now of course we have the capacity to make and store so much more information in a much smaller space. A few years ago Jon Lomberg, Carl Sagan’s principal collaborator (Design Director) on the VGR, suggested that we send a new record into space via the New Horizons spacecraft (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/newhorizons/main/index.html / http://oneearthmessage.org/) which will leave our solar system and head towards the center of our galaxy, some time in the next decade. But unlike the VGR, this record will be a digital upload that will be transmitted to the spacecraft.

So here we are on the cusp of an incredible technological revolution and we now have the capacity to share all of our knowledge with space faring extraterrestrials. Putting aside the likelihood that most space faring ET races within several solar systems of us, already know everything they need to know about us and Earth, as a result of our thoughts, feelings and planetary electronic transmissions; the idea of telling ETs who we are is very appealing.

According to the One Earth Message website : “The act of creating the message has great educational, cultural and even spiritual value, whether the message is ever found by other beings or not”. And I would agree ! It seems to me that it is not the transmission of the message that really matters but the act of creating the message !

However, there is one critical problem involved in the whole process of creating just such a message. And that is, how do we choose what to include and how to we choose what to exclude ? Every single human effort to make a decision on the behalf of others is decisive. There are always winners and losers, the included and the excluded. And in fact the process of choosing for a major creation can be so divisive that it leads to conflict and suffering. Imagine for example what would happen if we tried to choose one person to live on the moon, or Mars or leave the solar system, or a group of people to live on the moon or mars or leave the solar system, or one person to meet ETs who landed in a public place, or one person to go through an inter or intra dimensional doorway to some other place or one person to plant the Coca Cola flag on the moon !  No single process that we know of can be all inclusive and all of them are divisive ! So the critical question is, can we create a process for the creation of an Earth Record that is all inclusive, non divisive and has the potential to lead to positive experiences for the largest possible number of people ? I’m not sure but I think it’s unlikely !

There are however at a point where we have some new possibilities that could change how we approach this whole subject. Space exploration is no longer the domain of government groups like NASA. In the near future space exploration will likely be driven by corporations and private citizens. The age of citizen space exploration will soon be here and with it the opportunity for large numbers of people to contribute to space research and space related projects. The day may even come when ordinary people can launch Personal Information Capsules (PICs) via some corporate group that launch fleets of space drones or that transmits signals into the furthest reaches of space ! (PICs might also be used to store our life stories for the future, to be accessed by people in the future to or to be re-animated by AIs/Robots).

Personally I would like to imagine that every human being has the opportunity to send any information they want into space via an electronic signal or some very very tiny piece of technology that is on board a very small probe. We are the point where we can put so much into such a small space, so why shouldn’t we try to share as much as we can ? No doubt the fear mongers will jump up and down about the dangers of sharing too much with potentially hostile ETs but we have been doing that since we first began thinking and then later when we began transmitting radio signals. The only threat we face is the threat in our heads !

I don’t believe that humans can do any activity that unifies us but I would like to believe that sharing an Earth Record that includes all our human stories, may do a great deal to bring us together. We are already doing it every moment of our lives but we just don’t know it. The physical and public act of sharing, may well be the greatest catharsis we could ever experience and a way for many people feel genuinely connected to the Cosmos.

I wonder, what do you think/feel we should share as a species and what would you like to share about your own life ? There is an audience somewhere, who is already interested in you !

Elon Musk and The Dream of Multiplanetary Man

Don’t get me wrong, I actually really like Elon Musk. I think he’s a really nice guy and I like the way he thinks. But he is naive and has no appreciation of the limitations that mankind has imposed on itself and the way that we are limited by the ETs in what we are allowed and will be allowed to do. As I have said before, Dude has suggested to me that it will be 1600 years until we leave our solar system. And 50 years until we have a stable space station in orbit around mars and the most basic of Mars settlements. We have to get our shit together and show that we appreciate this planet before we are allowed to fully colonize another planet or become space faring. 

I have two simple questions for people who believe that we should colonize another planet ? Do we have the right to colonize another planet and how do we know that it doesn’t belong to another life form ? We do not have a legitimate answer to such things. But we make countless assumptions that we know the answers and that we have the right to do whatever we want. We are destined to become a space faring race but not while we are experiencing the 6th mass extinction of life forms on this planet. How we currently respect life on Earth isn’t well received by other races.

I remember reading in 1982 about the Mars colonies that we would have by 1997. Man’s capacity for fantasy has always far exceeded his actual practical abilities. We know so little about space and colonizing planets, let alone the universal principles of how a planet bound race becomes space faring. So let us dream on, caught up in our fantasies about what we can and cannot do. And I guarantee you, that it won’t be long before we can start counting the setbacks, the accidents, the inexplicable failures, the psychological breakdowns and the strange stories that will come back with our space travelers. Such things have already happened and will plague human space travel for many centuries to come. 

More of my thoughts on this subject here :

Space Faring Humanity

The following is an extract from Dude’s very long answer (80 pages plus) to question 18 of the Interview with An ET book. You can download a copy of this, along with all the other answers and the original questions here : : https://app.box.com/s/5rqddtmaw17zw4qv6wu90hmptrqpjjpk. All typos, bad grammar and mistakes are my own. Transcribing while Dude is talking to me is not always an easy process. This extract has not yet been fully edited but I think it’s reasonably free of errors. Dude and I are currently working on the last question in the book – question 19, which was Dude’s favourite question. The book is currently at 454 pages.

I suppose much of Dude’s answer is common sense really but because there is no such thing as common sense, you can see how far away from becoming space faring we humans actually are. In my view Dude’s answer is a template for a better human civilization. One that is well beyond who we are now but not beyond the capacities of humans in the distant future.

Enjoy this little extract ! 😉

 

So you asked about some general principles for how a species or a group can evolve. How a particular species or civilization evolves. So let’s look at this from the point of view of a species evolving with all of their differences. I’m going to give you some simple principles for how this can be done. Let’s give you six to start with but we could add more later if you wish. Alright let’s number this. Go for it.

OK.

1. Whenever there is the perception of difference, it is important for any individual who experiences this to ask themselves, “How am I different to the other and how am I similar to the other ?”. Every individual should ask that.

2. Whenever a particular difference between any two individuals rises to the point of either a potential conflict or an actual conflict, either individual, should ask themselves, “What is it that I wish to achieve through this conflict and why is it that I am unable to find some common ground with this other person ?”.

3. If there have been hostilities between any two or more people, each individual should consider the following, “Have my actions been congruent with what is important for me in terms of honouring the needs of my own spirit ? And if this is so, what is it that my spirit was seeking from the harm that I have caused the other ? And through causing harm, did I achieve what it was that I sought to achieve ? And regardless of the answer, am I content to live with the consequences of my actions – both the harm that I have caused to the other and the harm that I have caused to others who were either directly or indirectly involved in the situation ?”. So they should ask these questions.

4. Whenever a leader encourages his people – the people that they claim to lead or represent, to undertake activities that will cause further pain, harm or discomfort to another group, it is important that he considers one of three things. Only one – which ever one most resonates with his actions. “Did I do all that I could do to encourage the people I support, lead or represent to find a harmonious way of achieving what they require from a particular situation ? When I encouraged them to take direct action, did I consider the many different people, animals and plants that will be hurt indirectly by my actions ? In doing what I did am I content to live with the situation as it is or will I likely find myself tortured or bothered by some degree of doubt or discomfort ?”. Now the person answers these questions – which ever one most resonates with their actual actions. And then he asks himself this, “What was it that I actually gained for those I try to stand up for and is this going to be worth the effort and the consequences in the long run – when I am dead and gone ?”.

5. Now this is for any particular group of people. It doesn’t matter if it is a family, a religious group, a political group, a society, a club, a friends group, any kind of interest group. Whatever, it doesn’t matter. So long as there is more than 2 people in the group. More than a pair. For each member of that group it is important for them to consider that they exist in their particular group as a relationship with others. Others who are both in their group and others who are not in their group. Now when they see that they are in relationship, they must recognise also that all sense of belonging and importance that they have, arise from their sense of membership of that particular group and the particular relationships that they have with their group and with groups or individuals outside of their group. They do not have this without those relationships. And so it is important that each person asks themselves this, “What is it that I gain from being part of this group, that I do not gain when I am outside and do not belong to this group ?”. And finally, “Within this group is a number of individuals who are like me and others who are not like me. Whenever I encounter these others who are not like me, what is it that I feel and why do I feel what I feel ?”. Be honest about this. For when you see that even in a group of so called like minded individuals or individuals who share a similar value or intention, there is difference and sometimes this difference can play out in the way that these relationships unfold. So every person who belongs to some kind of group has the opportunity to see what it is that makes them comfortable and what it is that makes them uncomfortable. So when they let go of their perception that they belong to a particular group and that there are others outside of that group who are not like them and see the reality that even inside of a group that they feel a belonging to there is difference, they will recognize that difference or the perception of difference exists everywhere. And then they have the opportunity to look past differences, even with others who they believe are very different to themselves.

6. There are moments in every individual’s life, when it is impossible to look past something hurtful that another has done to them. These moments can become something more than moments. They build in numbers, they coalesce, they become a feeling that there is me and the world. That there is a distinction between all that I am and all that the world is. That I am not the world and the world is not me. That I am not like the world and the world is not like me. Some people use this perception to lift themselves above others and some people use it to lower themselves below others. Whatever choice they make, they base it – the behaviour, on a flaw in their fundamental perception of how things are. One who has committed an injurious act against us, has done so out of ignorance of who they are and we are. And so the perpetuation of such acts rests on a foundation of ignorance about our true nature – about the fundamental nature of what each of us is – both in terms of our relationship to each other and in terms of our fundamental condition as a living being with a spirit. So whenever a person injures us, causes harm, hurts or does something for which we can find no forgiveness, it is necessary to ask ourselves something very simple, “Whenever I am hurt, what is actually hurt ?”. Try to understand what is actually hurt. When you understand what is actually hurt, you see that almost all hurt has been created by the person themselves, who has added additional layers of self created hurt to the original hurt – which was brief, which was momentary. They have turned a moment into something with it’s own life span. And as a result it has coloured and distorted all of their perception. See the way that hurt works. See the way that the judgement of other works. And when you understand how it is that what you see as “hurt” works and the way that what you see as “other” works, then you will understand how the relationships that you have become painful, how it is that you are so easily hurt by the human world. And then it will become self evident how you can move through life, invincible to all hurts. Knowing that hurt only exists in the moment and the moment is fleeting. Hurt has no weight at all. Only the weight that you give it.

That is all.

Dude that was pretty weighty for some simple, some general principles. Lots of extra fat attached there. Are you offended by my saying that ?

No Bright, I’m not offended by that. You asked for principles, you got principles. They’re in there with extras to help you understand. Simplify it if you wish.

So Dude, how about some general principles for how a civilization evolves from cave man to space man ?

Alright. This time I want you to number 8 things.

OK.

1. Every individual must take responsibility for who they are. What does this mean ? It means they must take responsibility for their own actions.2. Every group that claims to represent a group of individuals must attend to the particular needs of the individuals that it believes it can support. And if it cannot, it ought to where possible identify other groups that can help the individual to attend to their needs.

3. Every group who has the potential to come in conflict with another group, must explore how it is possible to find common ground and to bring these ideas to fruition in terms of action and build upon this action with as many as possible other opportunities for finding and developing common ground.

4. Every leader – whether it is a leader of a community group, a business, a government or whatever must take responsibility for representing the needs of those individuals who come to that group to fulfill a particular purpose. That is, it is imperative that they identify the goals or objectives of each individual in being part of that group and take actions to make sure that those needs are addressed, wherever possible. In addition they must only allow themselves to serve that group when they have been given that role through a kind of process that allowed every individual to cast some sort of vote, some sort of nomination. The rights of every individual in that group must be acknowledged with an equals value. The abuse of power that occurs in all human institutions is a result of individual ignorance and the placing of an individuals needs above the needs of others. So every leader needs to find how it is possible to address their own needs while respecting the needs of very individual in that group. They start with identifying their needs, what needs can be addressed and addressing those needs. No leader should take it upon themselves to decide what the needs of the individual members of that group are. That is them forcing their own ideals on the needs of others. That is unfair. Only fairness should be allowed.

5. Where there is a desire for one group of people to do something – whether it is to have something, to develop something, to acquire something, to take something that is not readily available to others, they need to consider 3 things :
What will be the impact of our having this thing, in terms of it’s impact on the individuals in our group and other individuals who are not in our group ?
What is the impact of our having this thing, in terms of it’s impact on other living things and on the natural health of the planet ?
When we make these choices have we considered the impact of our choices on the well-being of humans and other living things in the immediate time period and in time periods to follow ? That is, can we see how our actions will cause things to change and effect the well being of other living things throughout time. Whether it is in recent time or in distant time ?

6. When you consider yourself as an individual, always remember that no individual can exist as an individual without something from others. An individual only exists as an individual because there something much larger than themselves. “What is it then that will help me as an individual to fulfill my own needs, while at the same time fulfilling the needs of the larger whole ?”. In other words, whenever a person acts in the world, they need to recognise that there actions do not occur in isolation. How is it then that they can act in a way that honours and respects that they have a right to fulfill their needs and the whole has a right to honour and respect it’s needs. If every person considers that they are this totality in every moment of their lives, they will see that to act just as an individual is unreasonable. It hurts themselves and it hurts others. They are connected and at one with the totality. They must respect the totality. They must consider the totality as a guiding structure in the actions that flow through their life. But at the same time try not to ignore their own needs. Just do so in a way that is considerate of something else. Something that goes beyond just me. Think about this and you will understand.

7. Whenever there is the possibility of escalating conflict whether it is between two individuals or a group of individuals – be it a sports team or a nation – whatever, each individual must remember that in striking out against the other, he strikes out against himself. What he puts out will come back to him. Maybe not immediately or not even any time soon. But eventually in some way, what he has given out will come back to him. Every person must consider what is the safest possible way to deal with a particular conflict to try to minimise the harm that arises and goes out into the world. For harm, once it has been created does not just disappear. It goes from a person’s actions into their own being and then flows through new actions into the being of others. It foes on and on and on, out into the world, infecting the well being of other living things, causing new harm and new possibilities for further conflict and harm to arise. It is not possible for conflict that has turned into something significant to simply disappear from existence. Harm creates a feeling and this feeling creates more feeling. It creates feeling that multiplies, that replicates and creates new actions and some of these new actions create new conflict and new harm and so on. The cycle continues, spiraling through space in all directions. Whenever a person is in a situation when it looks like things can get worse, they can ask themselves this and be honest with what they unearth, “I am here now hurting for some reason that I do not understand. I am upset about something that I do not fully understand. If I allow myself to become angry and to become more outraged and I engage in causing greater harm, will I make the situation better or worse ? Will I solve the problem ? Will I find a way to be at peace with how things are by causing harm ? Will harm bring me what I need? If they do this with great honesty they will recognise that the desire to fulfill this rage, this anger this desire for an outburst that causes more harm will do nothing but fulfill a short term satisfaction that I got what I wanted. In the long run it will solve nothing. When they see this, they recognise this to be true, they can choose a path in which there is less desire for conflict and path in which the outcome is less hurt for all involved. And then when a situation has been diffused, there is always a way to find some common ground. And when there is common ground, there is a way to move forward and a way to overcome the sense of other and conquering.

8. Humanity (in this particular case) is capable of great good in the cosmos. It is capable of creating amazing discovery and using that discovery to do things that he has only dreamed about. his dreams are just the beginning of what is possible. There are things that lay in the human future that man has not even dreamed about. Things that are beyond his imagination. Man must use that power of imagination to see what is good inside himself and do everything to bring what is good outside and into the world. Because whatever he wants will only come to him when acts from a place a great good and great kindness. It will not come about through great or selfishness or the desire to hurt others or have what he wants at any expanse. Man has countless opportunities to do good in his individual life and in the life of his civilization. But he loses sight of this caught up in all his selfish desires for moving beyond something that he thinks is not good enough. man must see that what he has – his Earth and all the life on his Earth is plenty good enough, is more than good enough, more than he deserves and start to show that he appreciates what he has. Show that to himself and show that to the other living beings of his planet – who deserve his respect. When man can show that to his own planet, can bring that degree of goodness, that degree of kindness and love to his own world, then and only then can he move from being stuck on Earth or near Earth space to being a truly space faring civilization. If he does not make such changes he will cause endless pain for himself and for the other living beings on his world. There are those of us that help you as a species, as a civilization, as individuals to find what is good inside of you. You do not need our help. You can make mistakes. We help you because we care. And if we do not help you, you will cause so much suffering for your world. Listen and learn how we have overcome our obstacles and let us help you to help yourselves. Every race in every place who has ever become space faring, has had the help of another who has gone before in some way. We all help each other. There is a totality and we honour and respect that totality. You are part of that, we are part of that. We will help you no matter what you do. It is not conditional. But you must begin to help yourselves. Do so and help will arrive from many different places. Help that you did not see coming. Help that you did not know existed. When you open yourselves to what is good inside you and you use your feelings in the right way to guide your actions, you will see an immediate benefit and as a result others who exist on your world will feel an immediate benefit. Because of this you will send out a kind of energetic signal that you are ready. Ready for contact, ready to take responsibility for who you are, ready to go out and and explore the depths of space, ready to become someone who is capable of moving through the cosmos with consideration and with care. That is how you will become space faring. Without this – without allowing what is good inside you to come forth, you will be stuck here or in near Earth space, unable to do anything, without our watching you. Simple. Be good.

Elon Musk – Setting the Standard for Stupidity in 3 Different Ways

I like Elon Musk but I think he thinks too much and feels too little ! His recent launch of a Tesla car into space set a new standard in human stupidity ! First he showed an absolutely careless regard for the purity of space. But he’s far from alone in that regard. Second he seems to have contravened the international planetary protection ethos (the UN Outer Space Treaty – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_protection), sending countless microbes and possibly larger organisms into space, to end up god knows where. It would have been impossible for his team to irradiate the whole vehicle from scratch, without a Tesla car assembly plant under complete quarantine. And finally, he set a precedent that it’s OK for humans to do whatever they feel like and send whatever they want into space. Pioneer, yes ! Way cool video of space man, yes ! Role model, no ! This may well be the way of the corporate space cowboys ! I call it Panspermmuskia ! Don’t get me wrong, Musk is very cool. But even the coolest Dude’s can go too far ! However small the odds of Spaceman successfully pulling off Panspermuskia and contaminating another celestial body with Earth life, to go ahead and create your own kind of ethics sets a new standard that can be very influential. And one can’t help asking, “Billionaires and corporations are accountable to who ?”.

Elon musk – rich in financial wealth and ambition. Poor in ethics and the ability to see a bigger picture !

 

Humanity as a Space Faring Civilization

This is just a quick post on the subject of the human race becoming a space faring civilisation.

On numerous occasions I’ve spoken to Dude about the collective human future and once he gave me a timeline of how things will unfold. Dude has suggested that from everything that he can see from the majority of Conjoined Spaces, humanity will not become truly space faring (moving beyond the boundaries of our solar system) until the 36th century. That’s 1600 years from now. 1600 years ago Constantine the Great converted to Christianity, the Roman army were defeated by the Visgoths on numerous fronts, Augustine was busy writing his theology, the Chinese invented the Stirrup for horse riding, the Sinai Bible (Greek Bible) was written, the reigns of the Western Jin Dynasty were being held by An Di and later by Gong Di, the Gupta Empire of India was under the control of  Chandragupta II Vikramaditya and the Noba people settled SE Nubia. Unless you have an avid interest in history, those facts may seem pretty obscure to you ! And similarly, unless you have an avid interest in the future, what lay ahead will seem equally obscure. I don’t think any of us can begin to speculate on how the collective human future will look between now and then. We might have some degree of accuracy for the first 50 or so years but after that I think things will become unrecognisable.

So why won’t we become space faring for another 1600 years ? Well, you might remember me saying how the Creator Races (like the Teal’hia, Muajra and Sar’Won’Dee) do not allow any race to become space faring until they’ve grown up and learned to show respect to each other, other species and their own planet. And that these boundaries differ from race to race. Some races are entirely planet bound because of their hostility. Others are allowed out in the backyard so to speak and allowed to roam their local neighbourhood, while others are allowed further afield to explore their own solar system. Any exploration is closely monitored and all efforts to effect the well being of another planet or other life forms are managed. In our own case, we have this illusion – an illusion maintained by certain members of the lower arms of The Architecture, groups such as NASA, ESA, the US military, Elon Musk and other private aerospace groups; that we can just waltz out into space and do whatever we want. Whether it’s mining on the Moon or on asteroids, colonising the Moon, Mars or Titan etc. Such people think that it is our human right to go out into space and conquer and claim. What they lack in their myopia is a cosmic perspective. This desire and effort towards expansion, is a widespread and ancient thing and because of this the Creator Races have enormous experience in managing the behaviour of juvenile races, such as our own. You are not allowed to go out into space with hostility, greed and a lack of respect. There are ancient protocols in place to protect other planets, other life forms and the emerging life form itself. And because of this, we will be thwarted whenever we do something that breaches what is permissible and we will be encouraged in a healthier direction whenever that is possible.

So what will this look like in practical terms ? Sometimes will will be frightened off, via face to face experiences, demonstrations of power, via dreams, via thoughts, feelings and projected voices. Sometimes their will be accidents and our craft will be maimed, disarmed or destroyed. Sometimes there will be accidents and efforts at settlement will be undermined. Sometimes we will simply be monitored for the duration of a mission – from it’s conception to it’s completion. Nothing can be hidden from the Creator Races. Not a single thought, feeling, desire, plan or action. They already know everything we plan on doing. And because of this they have overarching plans (though I hesitate to use that word) that will ensure that all of our space related activities are controlled and managed, such that we move slowly and begin to realise that there is only so much that we are allowed to do, unless we grow up and take responsibility for how we are. That is the way that it has always been and that is the way that it will always be. No amount of covert planning otherwise by any group or individual will change how things will unfold.

The biggest obstacles to the human race becoming space faring are our immaturity and our instability. It’s obvious that we need to grow up and treat everything else with respect. What maybe less obvious is how unstable our minds are. Dude has informed me that the reason that many of our efforts to stay in orbit around moons, planetoids and planets and most of our efforts to reside on the surface of moons and planets (our Moon and Mars in particular) will fail, is because humans will not cope with isolation away from Earth. Some of these future colonising efforts will last a few years and then self destruct because people can’t cope. No matter how much aptitude and desire they have, no matter how much training and preparation they have; they will not be able to cope with living far from home. This kind of isolation from all that they are familiar with and all that they love, will cause chaos and further instability in the human mind. Dude has even described one early off world effort in which one person breaks down, someone is murdered and the whole group turns on one another. And while this maybe a rare thing, all groups that attempt to live off world, will be faced with the same potential difficulties because the human mind is inherently weak and unstable.

In the end then it will be the ETs who control when we become space faring and it will up to us to decide when to grow up and how to cope with isolation and being far from home. 1600 years is a bloody long time to wait but it’s nothing compared to what we could wait ! Imagine how we could change in 1600 years ! I personally find it hard to imagine that we will be ready to become space faring in 1600 years. I mean nothing about our essential nature has changed in the last 1600 years, so I see no reason why the next 1600 years will be any different ! And going from what Rachel has told me about the work she did profiling the next 9,000 years of our future, we’re still essentially the same in the way that we function. So I can’t really get my head around it. But I trust Dude and if he says we will become space faring in 1600 years, then it must be true ! Alas, fortunate am I, that I will be long gone ! and so will all of you ! This then is a legacy for all of our descendents. One can only imagine what adventures lay in wait for them !

One day we will be the ETs visiting a primitive race on some far away planet !
