But there is another thought… If our reality truly depends on what we perceive, then maybe they need us to be despondent, to see the negative of life, to lose hope and foresee only an ever deepening loss of freedom and advance, where our world is so circumscribed we can hope only to be good servants of the poor overlords trying their best to keep us all alive. Then, they get the world they want, possibly forever.

And if 2012 is really a crux, truly a time of growing energy as we pass from Kali Yuga into a more enlightened Age, maybe if they can make us hopeless, the energy will not be used to bring a new age of enlightenment but instead to confirm into the darkness, our lives, our hopes and our futures and leave them as absolute rulers of an endarkened people, with the Darkness being powered by the very Light that was meant to bring us out of the mire.

This possibility is rather nasty to think upon – we should all make a determined effort to find ways to be positive in our lives, to see good things, to find hope for ourselves and others, if for no other reason than to ensure this doesn’t come to pass. Just the possibility of this being in our future should be a goad sufficient for us to stop playing the doom and gloom game and to work at bringing a little glow of positive feeling into our lives

And we will be surprised at how such a glow can infect those around us.

Be a little bud-light in your own life.

One possibility is they are too few - this fits with the alien or secret race point of view

- they breed slow these Annunaki and there are still so few of the true blood they know they cannot yet win against a raised population of angry humanity. Such a path would seem to require a perfection of the plot, or surely we would know about it. But then again, how many times through history have people stepped forward with tales of strangeness and been laughed into silence as the BEST thing that happened to them?

Or it may be they have a plan for us to enslave ourselves – the best prison is one where the inmates police themselves and prevent each other from escaping. How many times have we seen people with a different view, a new way of looking at things, pulled back to the herd, or locked away where they cannot infect others with their ‘crazy ideas’?

Another is that they are waiting for the perfection of the controls over us, the chip implants, the energy mind controls and the robotic military they would need. This would seem, to me, to mean they had to be able to predict the advent of all these things, because the potential to control us via money and power seems to have been around a LONG time.

Another possibility goes deeper. The Fall of Man may be seen as when the spiritual being that we are made a choice that enmeshed us into the world of solid. I wonder sometimes if the ‘Tree’ from which Adam and Eve were not meant to eat was not any specific tree, but that they were not meant to partake of solid food. Perhaps the Breath of Life was sufficient to energise us 7 we lived as energetic beings, aware of the matter in which we experienced, but still aware of our spirituality.

Then, like Persephone, we ate of the world, and suddenly we became more dependent on using the energy of matter to run our bodies. We experienced, and liked, the fruit of the flesh.

Now when I look at what we are finding out of real history, I can easily see it as a battle between those who would have Man grow towards the Spirit once more, and those who see profit in having us trapped into the flesh, manipulable and able to be used as servant or slaves. I see over and again, humans reaching for greatness, then like a wave of darkness, the original impulse to light gets submerged in greed and corruption, in power seeking and venality.

Now, we have the advent of possibility in 2012, at the Winter Solstice. It may be that this is a mere distraction for us, planned and implemented by the forces of the Dark to keep us looking to the future while they steal our present. But opposed to this is the fact that, if these forces exist, they have achieved a dominant position some time ago - how far depends on which variety of Conspiracy one can see.

I think they are becoming confident, although I am not sure I know the right reasons.

On one level, they have been running more than a century of the vastly mis-named ‘Education’ program on us all. We are taught to ‘not think’ and to compete for approval of Authority and to conform to the norm of those around us and to pull down to the common herd all those who might strive to stand above or beyond the crowd. They have a programming tool that captures almost all the public in a snare of symbols and triggers disguised as Entertainment. They are so scared that Entertainment might fail them, they keep upping the ante of shock, to the point where even minor accidents are hyped as ‘horrific’ or ‘Deadly’ and the slightest international altercation is built into a world-threatening disaster for the modern world.

So effective is their game that they can ignore situations that moral people would normally take deep umbrage at and demand action - children starve around the world while the average citizen worries about whether s/he can afford this year’s version of a t-shirt. We eagerly go into debt to buy the latest model of a car that is designed to break down and be obsolete shortly before we have it paid off.

Then we open our eyes and see a world where our leaders are greedy and venal, where lying is rewarded and the media tell us how most of us will crucify our fellow man for the slightest of advantages. We throw away food and resources while just over ‘there’ children die from need and illness we conquered a century ago rips families apart with death and horror.

And our leaders tell us obvious untruths, fabricate stories to get us to react a particular way and ignore our needs as they play their power games. Financial institutions make exhorbitant profits and then tell us how urgently they have to increase their fees – AFTER our governments legislated to make us use the electronic banking system instead of cash. We get charged to put our money in, to leave it there, to move it, to pay bills or to withdraw it.

These people make laws for us and break them almost before they are ratified – the latest such example I have seen can be found in the US site where people can supposedly trade in their old cars for money.

What we know is all tied up with being inside this reality – on occasion it seems as if we get glimpses of what may lie outside the boundaries which seem so complete, such as in moments of enlightenment when we glimpse connectedness and majesty in a moment that usually changes our life. Edgar Cayce may have been glimpsing outside the boundaries with his trance knowledge – the location of the Akashic knowledge may be ingrained in the fabric of reality or it may be the ‘sub-conscious’ content of Consciousness or it might be something outside of our possible experiential world altogether.

So, if we are Created, who or what created us? We can chase the question down into madness if we wish – once we decide who created us we have to ask, who created them, and so on…

If the Universe began as a Big Bang (and remember this is an hypothesis only, supported by some evidence which could also point at other conclusions, (like the background cosmic radiation) and propped up by such fancies as Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Inflation, all of which are very strange concepts in our Universe) then we are required to ask just what existed before the Big Bang. Again this marches down the regression path.

I think Life is Beingness, perhaps a Field effect but maybe something less substantial. It would explain so many things if what makes a living thing is based in something which inhabits a body, from how a person with virtually no physical brain can complete college through to how certain psi effects can operate in our lives. It would explain the effects of prayer or positive medication as well as the effects seen in transplant recipients.

I think there is enough evidence gathering to show that a human is a body, run by a brain, but overseen by a Mind run by a Being. We are finding alternate systems in the body that make the nerves seem simple and slow, and a case can be made that cells are actually a part of a sophisticated computational network that has data paths, input and output to every component and both processing and memory capabilities - all outside the brain and nervous system.

So I think people like Rupert Sheldrake and the earlier work of Bruce Lipton is pointing us in the direction of something other than the mere physical as being the sense of individuality we experience. And think about it like the Matrix - Neo is an electronic ‘body’ living in a world also created from electronics. To him it is as real as we think ours is, but in reality, he is a presence inserted into a reality not his.

And those truths seem to vary according to a variety of factors. Our experience seems to alter what we can see, as does our level of awareness. Pre-defined beliefs also appear to affect what we think of as reality. So in any random selection of (say) 100 people, the chances seem good that there will be at least 100 truths.

And saying there is an over-arching Truth begs the question of who it is who defines or holds that truth. Given the distinctly imaginary feel to our Reality, we cannot use the ability to find corroborating evidence within the plenum as a criteria for Truth - it might just be programmed in that way. We can’t use personal feeling for a general truth - too many have done that and killed thousands or millions. And we can’t use agreed upon values as truth - there seems no universal law that says 12 men agreeing have to be righter than one man deciding. (the democracy myth)

So I don’t know if Truth is important for us to know. But I think that, like happiness, it is very important for us to seek it.

Truth is not, I think, black and white. Everything around us shows complexities and subtleties way more complex than the Aristotelian good/bad dichotomy. Human relationships have always failed and been manipulated when we fail to recognise the shades of grey between black and white. That’s why, when power mongers decide on war, they start to polarise their subjects, using propaganda and an emphasis on the negative side of those with whom they wish to go to war. If they can demonise the enemy and bring goodness in on their own side, it makes it MUCH easier to convince the people that going off to kill those folk over there is a good thing.

Groups are also not necessarily a good thing - they usually require people to compromise their truth to fit in with the commonly agreed truth of the group. So when the group comes to a point where the particular individual would normally stop and say, ‘this is not my way’ they are under pressure to go along. This group behaviour is considered a good thing, but I would imagine the soldiers at Nuremburg wished they had reconsidered their obedience to the group rule.

Truth in a plain 3D world may be as you see it, but is it true we are in a plain 3D world? The math and physics of cosmology would suggest there are more dimensions than 3. String theory needs 11 and some versions talk of 26. Black holes require, according to Stephen Hawking, other universes to exist for the theory to work. Quantum theory seems to say that if Consciousness were not present, there would be no Universe, that Awareness collapses the probability matrix into a Reality in which we then exist.

And more strangely still, the evidence is building that our Reality isn’t really here at all.

If they could vanish, if their works could be wiped from all knowledge across the vast span of time, then surely we owe it to them to work at the remnants they left, to honour the amazing amount of effort they put into ensuring their far off descendants would have at least some warning of what may be coming our way.

Whether or not that is to do with 2012AD, I don’t know, but if Ice Ages come approximately every 100,000 years, if we are exactly halfway through a Precessional cycle right now (Orion is approaching its highest point of meridian crossing now) and if we suddenly have a Sun doing inexplicable things while it also seems the solar system itself is undergoing some strange effects, then perhaps it is past time we stopped effing around and started paying attention. We could profitably leave behind the misconception that we are the highest ever achieving society and look to the past so we are not doomed to repeat it.

If we can forget our indoctrination, leave aside those who muddy the waters using a variety of techniques, and just look with open eyes at the world we see around us, it becomes apparent there is something off about our orthodox history. There are too many things for which we have no reasonable explanations, but worse, it becomes apparent that someone is driving the moves to keep such things in the realm of the ridiculous so most people will not believe it.
