Anyone who's seen Benjamin Stewart's Esoteric Agenda - and, for that matter, anyone who hasn't and is merely interested in taking an hour and a bit to expand their mind with some interesting ideas - might be intrigued to find out that a sequel has hit the intertubes. I present to you, Kymatica:
If you haven't seen Esoteric Agenda, don't worry, it's no more necessary for viewing the 'sequel' than it is to see Zeitgeist before Zeitgeist: Addendum. That said, it's an excellent documentary, and well worth your time.

Hey all,
They are trying to pass bills in congress that would effectively shut down the small community based food growers, co-ops, Vegetable stands,
etc. Sponsored by ADM, monsanto,
etc etc.

Thanks for the heads-up on "Kymatica". My wife and I watched it yesterday and I will probably watch it again because I really need to stop it and digest it in bits.
The whole Maritime Admiralty law deal was a trip, as was the laying out of the bloodlines of our "leaders".
The thing that I'm left struggling with today is the popular saying "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" My question is, who's version? How much of what we are told is historical fact is accurate and not slanted to further an agenda? How does one learn from falsehood or distortion paraded as fact?
I guess in a real sense, history is just that - history. It doesn't have any bearing on what presents itself to us today, and is probably best used as entertainment or formaking bad movies.
If we knew all the truths about what has come before us, how would that change the way we react to the issues at hand?
I also am a bit tweaked about the continued reference to our "parasite" - to me that implies something that has invaded us and is using us as a host, feeding off of us.
I'd like to think we are evolving still - that we have something else we are to become rather than endless versions of our same insane selves, and that we are on the verge of some kind of leap. I also know that these things are accomplished due to an organism being put in a situation that requires adaptation or extinction. We seem to be right there, right now.
Thanks for the link.

Hey Z,
Glad you liked the movie! I've got to give it another watch myself.
Well, not to say I can answer those questions definitively myself (resolving those issues is a large part of the challenge facing our species in this age, after all) but I can tell you how I see those things.
"The thing that I'm left struggling with today is the popular saying "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" ... How does one learn from falsehood or distortion paraded as fact?"
One thing I've noticed is that the lies often seem to follow similar forms, differing in details of course but in broad strokes following the same patterns. For example, the Big Lie used to whip peoples into war frenzies always follow the same tired tropes of 'the threat from without' (as though Poland was a danger to Germany, or the Celts a danger to Rome.) Other narratives recur as well (for instance, the special virtue of one people over another, of of aristocrats over commoners.) Once you've got a handle on the forms those lies take, you're equipped to recognize their recurrence in the present ... and thus have a fighting chance of avoiding deception. In this way one can learn from a lie ... and this applies to any lie. "Fool me once...."
"I also am a bit tweaked about the continued reference to our "parasite" - to me that implies something that has invaded us and is using us as a host, feeding off of us."
Such things exist, I am sure. Parasitism occurs throughout the natural world, so there is every reason to expect to find the same dynamic in the supernatural world (which is, after all, nothing but an extension of the natural world ... or is it the other way around?) You might want to check out this page on Don Juan's 'Predator's Mind' for another take on this idea. It's pretty terrifying at first, but.... well, I'm sure you're getting the hang of this whole unveiling thing, by now.
Eventually, any parasite will either kill its host or evolve towards symbiosis. We're at such a moment now ... the psychic parasitism that's had our species acting as a vampire upon the Earth has done such damage to our mother that we are in imminent danger of extinction. Our back is to the wall, now, and it's evolve or die.
Thanks for the interpretation.
Ah, yes - the "big lie". Pretty simple, really.
"Look, a difference! Attack!"
Don Juan freaks me out big-time.
I have spent some time reading the Cassiopean stuff and it is, of course, beyond the scope of my intellect to get much out of it. When I hear folks who are waaaay smarter than me say "I don't know", it makes it easier to just hang out and deal with whatever is directly in front of me without too much intellectual fussing, but it would be nice if someone figured it all out and did a "For Dummies" book!
At this point, I simply give up trying to get any "truth" from someone else. It'll find me if it wants to in its own good time I guess, and I want to just be sure my eyes are open to see it when it presents itself.
I thought that was the best part of "Kymatica", when dude said what he did about what your "bible" should be.
"Our back is to the wall, now, and it's evolve or die."
Agreed. Let's get to it then!

Zoner, man, with that attitude the truth will positively fly to you. Or from within you, which is rather more to the point. Ultimately intelligence is beside the point, I think ... that was something that took a while for me to really get. It really comes down to 'I feel', listening to that inner alethiometer of the heart. The intellect is for reflection of what emanates from within, and is not meant to be the distinguisher of what is 'true' of the outside world for ultimately, how could it? That would be akin to trying to second-guess God, when you get down to it.
Knowledge always runs up against "I don't know", but how often does one reach "I don't know how I feel"? It's a rare thing, a still point, and where one goes from there, well ... such moments can be of great consequence. Learn to recognize such moments, to greet them with a careful suspension of intellect and observation of the heart, and you gain the opportunity to pass through the moment with greater consciousness. Ignore that inner alethiometer, however, and you run the risk at such times of going very far astray indeed, as your intellect is given a big lie to play with like a new toy while the heart barks like an annoyed and forgotten dog which (being a simple-minded sort with a very short attention span) runs off to chase a rabbit as soon as the scary noises are over.
And, y'know, one of the first things I wished for after the last Event was that I not get caught up in the propaganda. "Don't let me be an idiot and sign up to go fight," I told my then-girlfriend, and hey, at least I got that but then there's that thing about wording and wishes I suppose. Hah. Little did I suspect. I'm hoping the incantation, "Let me see truly" works a little better, and we'll see how that goes, by and by, I have no doubt.

So long as we're making a wish-list ... I'd kinda like 360 degree vision, teleportation, the ability to vary my volume between atomic and galactic, immediate access to knowledge of anything at all that I want to know (God's own google), and ... well I can't think of anything else at the moment. Of course when the wish is granted I'm sure I'll wish that I'd thought of that too (though of course it will be too late, by then) ... such is life, I suppose. At least it keeps things interesting.
