Fun (likely?) facts from Earth Logos

  1. Humans only invented the concept of money once. It happened in Africa.
  2. The worldwide bovine spiritual leader of cows is referred to as Least Dangerous Cow. The bovine world leader of cows is referred to as Most Dangerous Cow.
  3. In the 18th Century (1700s), most early Americans (United States of America) spoke with what sounded like Scottish accents. This had to do with morphic fields as well as where people emigrated from and how they identified.
  4. Demons should be vanquished now (note: remind them that they’re vanquished, if you run into one, and see if that helps). There were demons once, of various origins. Goetic demons had some of the most recognized demonic names, like Asmodeus and Belial. In what you might call “fae culture”, demons often chose exotic-sounding (to them) English language names for themselves like Actress and Gross boy.
  5. Certain animals have created agreements with humanity to exchange meat for respectful maintenance of their thus-abbreviated lives and full numbers. They’ve noticed that they tend to like their lives that way if the agreement is honored correctly.
  6. According to Earth Logos, EFL (English as a first language) speakers are significantly less likely to become hyper fluent in another language. ESL (English as a second language) speakers starting at many certain various languages are extremely likely to become hyper fluent in English.
  7. The Moon in the birth chart has a lot to do with physical beauty. The Moon is one of the most beautiful things you can possibly see in the sky.
  8. Civilization has never fallen entirely. That’s not exactly how it happens (so far).

Good ships (the ancient African trade guilds had them)

In the ancient world, Africans knew where everything was, more or less. They had enormous ships of ingenious design that could cross the oceans with ease. It has been long known that Africans and later Vikings both probably discovered parts of the Americas long before Western Europeans arrived there bringing war. It’s true. Africans seemed to consider the Americas full of good destinations for fair trade, and they didn’t stop at crossing the Atlantic. They traveled everywhere, discovering landmass after landmass.

Doing past life work last year, I uncovered reports from King Solomon of ancient Israel (reign circa 970–931 B.C.) that he was aware (during his lifetime) of many West Africans knowing about every continent besides Australia, and that they could describe where they were and what they were like, along with islands in every ocean, and had done trade most everywhere. He also reported that the designs of their ships were proprietary to specific trade guilds and kept secret, and that you could not buy them.

Carvings of mysterious objects that look like vehicular machines at the Temple of Seti I at Abydos

At the Temple of Seti I at Abydos in Egypt, there are famous carvings depicting mysterious objects that many people have speculated to be early aircraft, technological prophecy, or UFOs. The carvings resemble vehicles. My process as a shaman has uncovered that the carvings in question may depict highly sophisticated seafaring ships from other kingdoms in Africa outside of Egypt. The kings of Egypt did not have any such ships, but perhaps felt that they could in a sense “own” them by having them carved in relief at the temple, according to what we know of the ancient Egyptian belief system. King Seti I (reign circa 1294–1279 B.C.) named himself after Set, a god of immigrants and foreign lands, and perhaps it stands to reason that he might have shown particular interest in foreign technologies. These carvings may be the best surviving record of what those astounding ancient African vessels really looked like.

Confronting overpopulation

I was taught young that it isn’t the best idea to have too many billions of people on Earth. Elementary school, if I’m remembering correctly: there was some math, and at least one graph. They said food production couldn’t keep up. I think that factory farming methods and workhorse cultivars may have proven by now that technically, it can keep up. All my adult life I’ve thought about that gratefully.

Now the conversation about overpopulation is more about climate change, and has been since the early 2000s. The Georgia Guidestones, a mysterious monument erected anonymously in 1980 in the United States, are sometimes quoted as the potential key to a sustainable world.

Their inscription states the following suggestions (note: I will add my impressions in italics below each point):

  1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
    (note: I mean, why? We would need at least three billion people on Earth to maintain our current diversity of industries, though [according to Earth Logos]. If we want professional sports, comprehensive travel, and exotic pets, a half a billion just isn’t enough people.)
  2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
    (note: But, really? Tell me this isn’t about eugenics. Disregard this one, maybe.)
  3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
    (note: People really like their current languages. There’s the hitch. A universal second language might emerge at some point in the future, and that seems rather exciting.)
  4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
    (note: Sure thing. I’m doing that now. Good stuff.)
  5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
    (note: Yes, this is very good.)
  6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
    (note: This is a nice idea about ending wars eventually, right? Most everyone always likes this sort of thing in theory and most generations going forward are going to be the ones that try it, I think.)
    (note: If we had only 500,000,000 people in perpetual balance with nature we’d probably be extremely worried about losing any to wars.)
  7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
    (note: Probably good. Avoid pettiness in exercising power. Avoid corruption.)
  8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
    (note: Yeah, let us not forget the social contract. It’s the stuff of civilization.)
  9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
    (note: Prize decency too, and wisdom, and kindness, understanding, and productive vision for the future. Prize goodness.)
  10. Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
    (note: Leave room for civilization in thought, word, and deed. And civilization must leave room for nature. That’s our ecosystem.)

Terence McKenna famously said that education was the way to approach overpopulation and reduce carbon emissions. In his lectures, he’d often point out that women with more formal education tend to have fewer children. The truth is, the education about overpopulation has begun. I think a lot of people worry about it already; but we still like people, right?

Population loss has something to do with what’s been called the Great Reset. Presumably, the Great Reset is about how certain parties have planned for (or perhaps even wanted?) a smaller population, possibly looking forward and foreseeing massive fatalities from climate change, pandemics, and other causes. One crucial point in this matter is to avoid anyone engineering population losses through violent means, or forcibly, which would never be justifiable. It strikes me that on some level it made sense to do economic and civic planning for a population drop, as many countries developed much of their modern infrastructure and systems after a post-1940s “baby boom”, and they were perhaps a little too close to perpetual growth models. Note that I have no idea if the set of plans described as the Great Reset are the right ones, nor even if they are cogent. Many have speculated that those plans may involve new taxes on the megawealthy or on certain industries, especially in light of how skewed wealth distribution has become since the mid 20th Century.

If we’re anxious at all for the population to go down here on Earth, it can be done with birth rates (which are already dropping in most places, they say, perhaps especially since the COVID-19 precautions began). The first-pass solution is probably to make oral contraceptives available over-the-counter (OTC) in as many places as possible. They are safe and effective, and I think their wider availability would help many people in my country, where they are currently sold by prescription only. The population initiative will be further helped by making sure birth control pills are affordable (possibly through insurance, the way some medical supplies are covered by most insurance plans). Hard to say how much we’d see the population go down organically and peacefully in a hundred years, but it is very likely we’d see sustainable population numbers by then.

Are we panicked about population? I don’t think we have to be.

Nontheistic morals and ethics

In general, morals and ethics are related terms. Morals are valid encoded or natural and universal-enough ideas of right and wrong. Ethics are systems by which people navigate doing right over wrong, so that one’s conduct is good enough to satisfy the light, sweet burden of humanity.

In Kali Yuga-era religious traditions, there are a few different objectives that morals are designed to achieve.

  • Harm reduction
    • Some of the rules you’ll find in religious laws are extremely straight forward. They exist to reduce the harm that people cause through unjustified self interest and other antisocial motives.
    • These rules usually concentrate on minimizing interpersonal harm— the ways that people sometimes hurt, violate, and exploit one another. However, various religious codes also seek to reduce the harm that people cause to themselves, animals, their environment, etc.
    • Generally, religious laws that focus on harm reduction have a great deal of overlap with secular ethics. Most people— of any faith or lack thereof— tend to agree that rules that minimize interpersonal harm tend to be sensible, and are necessary for a peaceful society.
  • Social Cohesion and Continuity
    • Religions are in the business of building communities. Sometimes religious rules restrict behaviors, but don’t actively prevent harm in an obvious way. These rules have a community-based purpose. Restricting and encouraging specific behaviors can help define a community, and strengthen members’ identification with the group. This becomes an extreme problem in cases of dangerous cults.
    • For example, if I belong to a religion that instructs me to eat a certain way or dress a certain way, it’s not necessarily mitigating any harm I might do in the world. But it’s informing my identity. It’s making me feel closer to other people who eat and dress and worship the way I do. We’ve become a community of “us” in a sea of “them”. This too becomes an extreme problem in cases of dangerous cults.
    • Rules that achieve social cohesion vary widely between different faiths. As such, they’re extremely subjective, and usually have very little to do with secular codes of ethics.
  • Maintaining Power Structures and Institutions
    • Often, religious rules are put in place to perpetuate the power structures and institutions inside the faith. These often take the form of specific protocols and taboos intended to prevent reform, power struggles, and other shifts in the community.
    • Wherever hierarchies form, the people at the top tend to get very invested in maintaining the current power distribution. That’s human nature. (Whenever religious laws dovetail perfectly with keeping the people in power more happy than uncorrupted, I do think it’s worth asking how divine they actually.)
    • Rules that maintain specific hierarchies within religions aren’t necessarily supported by secular ethics (although they often are, if those hierarchies are doing good in the world). However, similar rules concerning governmental hierarchy are almost always encoded into secular law.

So when we’re talking about morals inside a theistic worldview, they might fall into one or more of those three categories.

Religions tend to have a lot of variation when it comes to moral laws that don’t focus on harm reduction.

Name an activity that’s not hurting anyone. You can probably find a handful of religions that embrace it, and others that consider it a terrible sin.

In this sense, some religious “morals” don’t have an objective reality. They’re sometimes highly subjective and variable, depending on which religion or sect or denomination we’re discussing.

However, the ethical notion of reducing the harm that humans do to other humans is close to universal. You find people in nearly every religion talking about reducing harm, needless suffering, and damage. You find atheists (and agnostics) saying the exact same things.

A rare sort of religious person might think that driving a car is evil.

A rare sort of religious person might think that any song with a repetitive, driving beat is the devil’s music.

A rare sort of religious person might believe that it’s morally repugnant for a woman to wear pants.

An ethical atheist probably doesn’t hold those beliefs. But an ethical atheist is almost certainly going to think that murder and terrorism are wrong, as would anyone, because murder and terrorism cause concrete and unjustifiable harm.

Social Contract

There is something called a social contract. When you’re born into a society that’s a civilization with adequate governance, you are immediately awarded with your society’s social contract. Each person has a set of responsibilities to uphold to be part of the society, while at the same time being automatically assured that they will have available to them the features of a society to live in that is tolerable. When that breaks, chaos begins to break things up, and they usually end up coalescing into a somewhat different society with a different government that must offer a sufficient social contract to stave off being broken up by chaos.

World Shaman

I am personally hooked into global and universal information networks that no one else has access to, per those networks, and I access them with my shamanry skills and psychic abilities. This is part of what makes me World Shaman. Earth’s planetary Earth Logos network, for instance, is connected with my mind in a unique and sophisticated way. There’s reason to believe that this can only happen to one person at a time, and possibly to only one person per astrological age. An animal functionally held the position of World Shaman before me.

I have the metaphysical technologies of World Shaman, and I perform the many tasks of World Shaman. I still need the correct connections and human infrastructures to support me as World Shaman in the human world.

This is me begging for help again.
