A New Story...

Okay, in The Republic, by Plato, they explain that they are going to rewrite history so children don't grow up believing that they have quarrels with one another. Alexander the Great conquered a vast area and enabled the rewriting of history. The Republic advocates burning books and the Library at Alexandria was burned. It appears they went with their plan and rewrote our history.

What was it like before? Well, of all places, the Native American Myths and Legends might hold the truth. They talk of times long ago when misinterpretations led to cannibalism and other warlike natures.

I don't think these stories are the actual history of North America. I think that representatives came from the Old World and asked for help. They explained that due to mistranslations of written texts, bad things were happening on the other side of the world. They explained to the Tribal Leaders that they were going to have to hide certain information and encode other things, but much would be lost. They asked the Tribal Leaders to tell some stories. They warned never to allow the stories to be followed. They didn't write anything down, knowing that writing caused many tragedies.

The Hopi Boy and The Sun explains how 'someone' mixed up birds and people and ate people. Then they mixed up wheat and people and ate people. Note: in the Bible, they stoned people, not wheat. Then the Hopi Boy mixes up corn mush with people and eats the people.

Other stories say that 'a long time ago, they knew they had to eat deer to live, but they mixed up deer and people and ate people by mistake'.

Allow me to climb a bit further out on this limb and tell you where I think souls come from. This is quite a story.

When the Big Bang banged, the body of our Mother expanded. This is the physical Universe. Our Father couldn't bear to leave her, and He went with her. In each piece of 'stuff' there is an equal portion of our Father's Spirit.

The Universe is the Body. God's Spirit is the Soul. In a like manner, a Galaxy has a portion of Mother's Body, and a like sized portion of Father's Spirit. A Sun has a portion of Mother's Body, and a like sized portion of Father's Spirit. A Planet has a portion of Mother's Body and a like sized portion of Father's Spirit. A Moon has a portion of Mother's Body and a like sized portion of Father's Spirit.

These are the Big Bodies. They have Big Souls. They are more orderly in their motions. They are, in a manner of speaking, naturally older.

Older than whom?

There are baby souls in the Universe. They are meteors and comets and asteroids. They have a much different life. They fly free until they impact. When they do hit an atmosphere, they lose their physical body. They become tiny baby ghosts. They are 'God seeds'. They take bodies and grow in a different way than Big Bodies.

Fairy Asteroid Souls take the bodies of plants, then animals and finally humans. This is a process in our Mother's Body. This kind of Humanity, the kind that comes from 'God seeds', is the immune system of the body of the Universe.

Usually, we have hundreds of thousands of years to develop. We grow after many, many incarnations. But we have a deep love for Earth and we consider the animals our little brothers and sisters, knowing that we came up that ladder ourselves.

But when we are young, we don't understand math. In fact, if you were to tell us that in heaven, 'for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction', well, then, we would say 'as above, so below: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'.

Okay, occasionally, a star explodes or a planet gets crisped by its star, and they become like ghosts, too. So we let them come here and take bodies so they don't have to suffer in Heaven. They are the shamans and wizards. They were our guardians and protectors and they kept an eye on the 'crib' called Earth.

One day, the Guardian looked up and noticed a heavenly body out of sync. He took some measurements and OH NO, the rock would hit Earth in just a few thousand years. That was not enough time to bring this young group into a state of technology. So the Guardian informed God that we needed more Big Bodied Spirits to take bodies on Earth and help build shields (pyramids).

The Stars came down, and for a while, we had a golden age. They were teaching us how to do things we had never done before. They were educating us so we could protect our Planet, not just because it is our home, but because we love Her and don't want Her to get hit by a big rock.

Okay, I'm standing up again and I'm going to inch out on the limb, it's getting bendy now.

Lots of myths tell of the hero or heroin going into hell. There is a rule. Don't eat hell food. Sometimes it’s a persimmon seed, but it's always something. If they do it, they are damned and must stay in hell.

I guess for the Big Bodied Spirits, life as a mere human is hell. But not for baby souls.

We have two groups on this planet. They have different norms, different needs and different expectations.

The Stars came to help. They still have Big Bodies in Heaven. They don't get to go back and 'be one with God' until they fix the mess they made.

What did they do? They ate meat. But you have to eat meat to live, right? Wrong. When we were animals (and humans are) we ate meat as part of the food chain. But the Stars had the knowledge to offer us vegetarianism, and they were supposed to.

Instead, they ate meat and got spiritually sick.

This is how it happened. The Animal Kingdom is part of Stan's realm. Stan is our Big Spirit Brother. Recently, He has become a scape goat.

It is Stan's job to contain the negative energy in the Universal Mind. It's a Spiritual job in the physical world. Mother and Father work together to help Stan, however, Stan keeps the negative energy from God. If they mix, God gets sick. The way Stan circulates the negative energy is in the animal kingdom. It's really hell. Rape, murder, cannibalism, subjugation, injustice, FEAR. That's the animal world.

So when a living Star takes a Human Body in 'hell', and eats meat, the negative energy is released into the Universal Body and Spirit. 'hell' becomes 'HELL'. Stan is fat from our additions to His realm.

This explains the radically different views of the afterlife. Let's say a star is banned from Earth due to sinning, and he is forced back into his star body full of sins. That's called 'burning in hell forever'.

Then there is the unconditional love of Jesus. Well, that's for the baby souls. Of course we are not to blame. Big Stars came and ruined our paradise. True, they came to save the paradise, but things went wrong.

So Jesus came and died for everyone's sins. He asked us to remember the cannibals. He said 'eat my body and drink my blood as a remembrance'. He could have said 'hug each other as a remembrance of my love for you' but that is not what He wanted us to remember. He wanted us to remember the truth.

Jesus couldn't tell us about everything because we were too young. He couldn't tell us that points of light in the sky could harm us. We might not have believed anything else He said. He had to focus on 'love one another' because that is where the need was.

Now it is the latter days. 2000 years ago, the zodiac was cut up into 12 equal signs, 30 degrees of arc each. Now, time has changed that. In fact, there are 13 major signs on the ecliptic and several minor. The 13th sign of the zodiac is called Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer.

I find it fascinating that just when Jesus is supposed to appear and bind the serpent for 1000 years, that the New Sign of Ophiuchus is announced by astronomers.

The news didn't quite make the American Press, due to the O.J. hearings. But that doesn't make it untrue. It is a fact. All the signs of the zodiac have different dates now.

Jesus also calls Himself 'the Bright and Morning Star'. Here is my asteroid list:



2500bc Chinese Emperor Yao reports a Heavenly Battle

2000bc Egyptian Bennu Bird burns in own ashes and returns every 500 years

1500bc Phoenician Phoenix burns in own ashes and returns every 500 years

1000bc Star of David? Was there a star?

500bc Lord Buddha stations and views heavenly body called Morning Star

Star of Bethlehem marks Christ and world calendar set to zero.
500ad Thunderbird Legend

1000ad Quetzelcoatl, the flaming bird, returns

1500ad Durer engraves Melencolia I with Asteroid out the window dated 1514

2000ad Jesus as the Bright and Morning Star

There is more, but this limb is about to break. I'm heading back to my tree.

That Kurt Russell Movie

I just watched that Kurt Russell movie where the trucker steals his wife. Excellent mandala image. I don't know about you, but I didn't blame her for releasing the gear.

I worry for the really terrorised. This kind of thing really goes on. A little girl very nearby just disappeared from her room. She just wasn't there the next morning. She's six or seven. She's been gone for 2 weeks now. Her parents are still leading searches.

They might get a happy ending, but as each day goes by, no matter what happens, their little girl is gone forever. If she lives, she will never be the same. Worse yet to never know. I can't imagine the agony.

Kurt Russell ain't comin'.

This is not an isolated incident. A few days before Danielle vanished, I received an email from my sister regarding a similar incident in Colorado.

Animals are feeding.

There has to be a way to control this without disturbing the average person.

Television and Movies are Mandalas

If Dana Scully were to walk into a public restaurant with Fox Mulder, and then proceed to climb up on a table and dance a little jig, we would know something is wrong. We might assume an alien was controlling her, perhaps a post hypnotic suggestion, or maybe a Dana Scully look alike. One thing would be for sure, that isnt Dana Scullys regular behavior. She would never do that! Gillian Anderson might perform the physical act as an actress, but not Dana Scully, the FBI Agent.

Likewise, when Commander Tuvok reported to the bridge with no clothes on, we knew something was wrong. It ended up being a dream, but we knew it was something out of the ordinary. Again, he would never do that.

We have a relationship with TV characters. You might be surprised to learn that it is very similar to ancient Buddhist meditation devices. The Buddhist meditator looks at a picture of some Buddhas and teachers called a mandala. They know the natures of the characters, like we know Scully and Tuvok. The meditator considers an issue from the point of view of each of the individuals on the given mandala. We watch the show and allow ourselves to be entertained.

In most cases, a TV mandala is represented by the same actor or actress. One famous exception is the recasting of Darrin on Bewitched. The very recent recasting of Clarice for Hannibal is another success in my opinion. The point is, we relate to the mandala characters to the extent that we notice (and care enough to complain) if they change, even if they are ficticious.

Personally, I am a soap opera fan. In a soap, we learn that the mandala character is often stronger than the actor or actress. They can be and are replaced. There are some soap opera characters who have been played by 4 or 5 different actresses.

However, there are also soap opera stars that have been played by only one person. For instance, Victor Newman form Genoa City on The Young and The Restless has been played by Eric Braeden for around 20 years now. Some characters have lasted over 40 years. Mandala stars, one and all.

Shannon Dorety is an interesting actress in that she abandons her mandala characters, first on 90210 and now on Charmed. When a star gets feisty about their part in the process, I side with the mandala. I expect and watch for alternate storylines or new characters.

If one of the actors playing the part of one of our favorite mandalas were to die, we would miss the mandala as well as the actor. In most cases, we let the mandala character die with the actor, somewhat like retiring their number in sports.

I often use shows as mandalas. I will watch an episode of West Wing 10 or more times considering the situation from many points of view. This show teaches us and it does so with dramatic elegance. For instance, when Mandy wrote a memo the show couldnt just have Mandy say to CJ I wrote a memo even though that is the supposed common vernacular in the West Wing. Why? Because we (the audience) dont know what a memo means yet. So they have to tell us during the show, Mandys first words to CJ actually explain what a memo is and then Toby goes over it and gives us a couple of synonyms. Then finally, by the middle of the show they can just start referring to it as Mandys memo or the memo.

The writers, actors, directors, producers and everyone else associated with that show are wonderful. I wish their combined efforts were allowed to help the real West Wing. Were having trouble with our more perfect union.

Televisions entertaining ability to teach has already been noticed by teachers and students alike, but I dont think the gift is being utilized to its maximum potential. And what is really scary is that TV might be our best tool in a world gone crazy. A lot of people need help.

We live in a world where Boston Public-type situations happen. That show is mimicking reality, thats the plot, reality. Likewise, CSI, The Practice, The District, ER, NYPD Blue, many episodes relating the unfairness and the inabilities of the system.

I believe that if Americans, and anyone else for that matter, see a good idea, they can say hey, thats a good idea. Wouldnt it be nice if the writers of the TV mandalas put some really good ideas on so people could say hey, thats a really good idea?

We need a place where people can go, a guaranteed haven. Pretend all the mothers in the country who go to church got together and made a pact. What if they decided to open all the churches to the needy? Dont let the idea die there, take it a step further, let the men support the idea. We want a network of love. for everyone.

You know that lady who killed her five children? She could have brought them all to the closest church of any kind, and all would have been helped. The children who take guns to school and kill their classmates could come to a church instead.

There wont be any preaching, just help. Just nice motherly people fixing everything that is wrong. We can call the project The Hand Of God or something like that.

If Manion (on The District) had a place to send improperly trained youths, he could clean up the streets very quickly. But recycling them through juvenile hall only costs the taxpayers money. Keeping them in juvenile hall is out of the question, financially.

They know this. They dont fear jail, let alone a field trip to juvenile hall. They know nothing will change, unless they get hit in a drive by or something.

These are people, people with potential, with buried hopes and dreams that they are afraid to hope or dream. They should be out saving the world. God knows how to motivate young people. They are the next generation, and they arent prepared for the task, they need a helping hand.

Wouldnt it be nice if everybody had a place to go? Well, if you made a place on TV and let everybody see it is a good idea, maybe even take live footage of the new teen centers and put them on soap operas and other shows, then people will have a chance to say hey, thats a good idea.

Mandalas have power. The networks could prove it very quickly. If every show with a suitable story capability were to work in a fact of the week then almost everybody would get the message. For instance, food should not be allowed to remain in the temperature danger zone for long periods of time or bacteria can grow. The food should be over 140 degrees or under 40 degrees. So the temperature danger zone is between 40 and 140.

This is a very important fact that enough people know. TV could change all that in one week. Once the word is out there, people tell each other. You just have to get the message out there.

With such a powerful tool at our disposal, we should be able to do a lot of good. Let our mandala characters spread their wings a bit. Why not try to change the shows about our world, in hopes of changing our real world?

Television and Movies are Mandalas

Note: While the entry below is describing US television shows, the idea is valid for all situation TV shows.

If Dana Scully were to walk into a public restaurant with Fox Mulder, and then proceed to climb up on a table and dance a little jig, we would know something is wrong. We might assume an alien was controlling her…perhaps a post hypnotic suggestion…or maybe a Dana Scully look alike. One thing would be for sure…that isn’t Dana Scully’s regular behavior.
