World Financial Crisis - How we got here and what must be done to save civilization

November 1st, 2008

Part One -  How the current economic crisis came about.

In the opinion of the vast majority of world economic experts and leaders the global economy is sliding into a crisis that could exceed even the 1929 crash and ensuing great depression of the 1930s. For the average citizen this is already to painfully obvious. If the world is to avoid catastrophic global economic meltdown and all the social-political chaos that means, then it is necessary do things in a totally different way than what created this havoc.

The Debt System

The past and current economic system is based on charging interest for lending money. That is what banks and financial institutions do. But first of all what is money and where does it come from. Money is said to be a medium of exchange. What does that mean? It means that there is a universal social agreement that currency represents the value of natural resources and the products of human labor. This universal social agreement is enforced by cultural, economic, political, legal, and military institutions. In other words money is in age old institutionalized cultural habit.

In its proper use money serves a useful function. It speeds up the exchange of goods and services by allowing people to trade goods and services in a faster more fluid way than one to one barter allows.

Who creates currency? Money is issued by some cultural institution usually a national government or a central bank. That institution and the people who control it therefore control the money supply. To whom is that money issuing institution accountable? This is the most fundamental question of social justice. If the money issuing and lending institutions are accountable to the general human population that is to the people in an enforceable way, then social harmony and functional civilization is possible. If money issuing and money lending is controlled by a small self serving minority, regardless of what it calls itself, then that controlling minority becomes parasitical on the body politic and a culturally pathological condition sets in. When parasites get out of control they kill the host and themselves. In socioeconomic terms this means the debasement of culture and the destruction of civilization through poverty, environmental degradation, slavery, and war.

Astrology 101 - Basic rules of interpretation - Part 1

March 18th, 2008

This article is intended to be a summery of some important basic principles and methods of astrology. It is not my purpose here to elucidate every combination of astrological factors but rather to point out basic principles and techniques and give a few examples. A thorough analysis of every combination would be subject matter for a book.

I like to call Astrology the original Holographic Science. As far back as any kind of civilization can be traced in any part of the world some form of astrology is found. Where astrology originally began is lost in the mists of time. I personally suspect that astrology was first brought to Earth by the extraterrestrial beings that originally genetically engineered the human species as we presently know ourselves and seeded human civilization on planet Earth. Virtually all-traditional cultures of the world have mythologies and ancient traditions, which speak of interaction with and intervention from advanced beings that came from the heavens. There are records and stories of the so-called UFO phenomena from every century of history and every part of the world.

Transition to the Age of Aquarius

Aquarius
Chapter1
Precession of the Equinoxes

The winter solstice of 2012 or December 20, 2012 is the end of the Mayan Calendar. According to my understanding it is also the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. At that time the winter solstice will align with the plane of the Milky Way galaxy to which our solar system belongs. I believe this date is important for other reasons as well, having to do with the Pleiades and the Star Regales changing signs in the tropical zodiac due to the precession of the equinoxes.

To understand how this works it is first necessary to understand what precession of the equinoxes is and what causes it. First of all there are two zodiacs used in astrology. They are the tropical zodiac and the sidereal zodiac. Both zodiacs are arranged along the ecliptic which is the plane in space defined by the Earths orbit around the Sun. The tropical zodiac which is primarily used in western astrology divides the ecliptic into 12 signs of 30 degrees each referenced to the equinoxes and solstices. The sidereal zodiac which is primarily used in eastern astrology is made up of actual constellations of stars that are arranged along the ecliptic. A little over 2000 years ago these two zodiacs perfectly lined up together and the signs of the same name occupied the same positions on the ecliptic. Since then they have been drifting apart due to precession of the equinoxes.

New Paradymes in Physics

January 27th, 2007

By Louis S. Acker

The Universe is manifested from a primal spiritual essence, which we can call the Void. The Void is beyond, or independent of time, space, form, and personality characteristics. That is to say it has no identifiable or particularized characteristics. The void is an essence, which has infinite or unlimited speed or velocity. Its entire existence is simultaneously present in every point in space. This is a higher order of omnipresence. It not like saying that water is present everywhere in the ocean. It is rather like saying the entire ocean is simultaneously present within each drop of the ocean. If something is so fast that it is here and everywhere else throughout infinite space and back again in zero time it is as good as though it had never left. Read the rest of this entry »
