The Evening of Tomorrow
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.

We have to guard against being deceived by religious entities, government agencies, academic footman, or others with varied agendas into believing a lie. I sometimes think those who think as we do are too quick to embrace ideas. We tend to be too touchy-feely and think as though skepticism is anti-spiritual; as if there is a capricious side to inspiration. There is no judgment at this level. There is no need to be impatient. When one is ready to learn, the teacher is persuasive and legitimate. And the answer to the riddle of learning is to be still; don’t pursue answers; let the answers come to you! It is a matter of thinking clearly, and not deeply. I know this seems like the quintessential buzz kill to a New Age high, but let’s look to our experience; my experience.
Wars are, for example, something we can all agree on as tragic. Historically, the perception of warring has been to either gain a strategic economic or political advantage over a foe, or, the need to create a distraction. The latter may be a more common premise. My dad was at times way out there in some respects and there were times I thought him to be troubled; and then there were times when he had moments of brilliance and I considered his wisdom to be well beyond his years. I remember him saying the only reason the United States entered into WWII was to create a distraction from the economic hard times the Depression had created, and to provide a real and urgent reason to create a fiat economy. As a young adult I remember thinking he was a bit nuts. How could war be an economic strategy? After all, we were the home team. We did the things wars are supposed to do; kill people, break things and impose our will. Weren’t we providing humanitarian assistance? Wasn’t God on our side? Maybe so to all of the above, but only after having lived a few questions of my own did I see his point. If the United States entered the WWII in Europe as a humanitarian effort as I had always thought, then why didn’t the United States send troops to Darfur?
In 1994 over 800,000 people were killed as a result of ethnic cleansing; this in a country the size of Texas. 800,000 people were hacked to death by mobs carrying machetes. With sanctioning from the local authorities and with a blind eye and deaf ear of the suffering, the world leaders did little to stop the carnage. Imagine the terror one must have experienced as a mob of knife bearing fanatics attacked women and children separating their limbs from their bodies. I hope nature provided an escape, a state of shock that would have buffered the fear and pain that one would presume the victims experienced. I wonder if they wondered from where help would come. There were accounts of some victims that were classified as intellectuals that were killed in arenas by having their skulls opened and their brains removed to cheering crowds. The initial carnage lasted for 100 days and its affect was so profound that one of the final acts of closure by United Nations peace-keeping squads was the killing of all of the dogs within the country; the reason was the countryside had been littered with the bodies of the murdered and the dogs had ample opportunity to developed a taste for human flesh.
What could come close to matching the severity of this event? Contrasting that event with a more recent event in Libya where there was far less violence inflicted on the populous, military intervention was utilized; swiftly and with determination to oust the dictator Moammar Gaddafi on humanitarian reasons. One cannot place a number on the amount of deaths and define one as extreme and another as acceptable, all killings are tragic. However, estimates of those killed in Libya range from 2,000 to 30,000 over several months. And I would hope Libya’s oil reserves and production, as well as the country’s association with British Petroleum could not have been a primary factor in the intervention. Darfur exports Arabic gum, tree sap, the substance used to make the lickable adhesive on the back of postage stamps!
I fear governments would orchestrate more wars to create distractions if it were possible, but the citizenry is growing tired of that option. Remember as we discussed earlier in this section, control is the mission. So, with the government’s awareness of a growing realization amongst its populace of a shift in collective consciousness and the government’s awareness that phenomenon can be leveraged to manipulate the masses, who is to say an alien visitation event would not be staged. It is far easier to ride the tides of fate and go with the flow, so to speak, and capitalize on the inevitable than it is foster a forced shift in belief systems. People are witnessing more and more UFOs, the Vatican has acknowledged their existence, and ancient text tells of their reality. I am certain we are not alone, if fact humans are as alien to this planet as those that staff these UFOs. After all, it seems as though we may have been genetically engineered by them. There are precedents for unscrupulous entities that profit from divine events. I know that conspiracy theories seem to outnumber the stars sometimes, and even though many, if not most, are concoctions, there are still a significant number that are factual. And if fear can be used to promote an agenda, so can promise; disingenuous or not. Ben Rich, former Head of the Lockheed Skunk Works and developer of the F-117A Nighthawk states:
We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine we already know how to do. There are two types of UFOs – the ones we build, and the ones they build. We learned from both crash retrievals and actual ‘hand-me-downs’. The Government knew, and until 1969 took an active hand in the administration of that information. After a 1969 Nixon ‘Purge’, administration was handled by an international board of directors in the private sector.”
So, if it happens, when it happens, this could be the similar to stories in the Biblical book of Revelations of an anti-truth entity being promoted as the real thing. My advice, from a lifetime of mistakes and learning, is to approach this event, and others, with the skill of silence and the discipline of stillness. And with the elevated level of consciousness we are continuing to experience, this will become a natural response.
