the synthronizing of spirit and matter (part 1)

At the end of this dark age, when we consider matter to be all that exists and behavior to be the only meaningful aspect of the human psyche, we begin our swing back toward sanity. The reign of quantity is ending and openness to quality beginning.

The devolving dark age was based upon division and separation: mind from body, me from you, us from them; and upon denial: no spirit, no soul, no God, and certainly no contact with our Source. Science became not just a tool for understanding, but a religion, scientism. Greed became the order of the day, "progress" became our death chant. All earth and its inhabitants were seen as a storehouse for plunder, existing for one purpose only, to fuel and fill the insatiable maw of Man.

We are nearing the end of this pendulum swing, not because humankind wants to. We would like to suckle at the breast forever, gulping down our Mother's nutrition until we suckle a milkless corpse. Leeches. Parasites.

No, not because we want to, but because we are forced. I refer not just to the explosion of human population and the ever-dwindling resources. We are at the end of an Age. According to our seers, we are at the end, once again, of a Time. Our Time is up.

A brief pause will occur, the same pause as at the end of an outbreath, and then an inbreathing will occur. We will return to sanity, wondering how we could have been so insane. We are on the verge of a new Time, the time of synthronization of spirit and matter.

  1. One of my many heroes had this to say about that:

    "We have to project a positive future. I mean I think that’s what Christ and Mohammed and those people were saying for their people in their time and their society."

    "People have the power to create the kind of society they want."

    his final radio interview,
