hypnotheripst - for 40 years.

Councils are over: solar systems, galaxies, universes

[agrees w/ Wilcox's "management" concept - jj]

after a-bomb

decided to influence from the inside

cannot interfere: {prime directive is real!!!}

last 2 years haas been seeing - since 40's/50's - new souls, never before incarnated on earth. Have ET souls. Are physically human. have no karma. called these souls to help. they don't know their purpose.

regressions only include past when karma needs to be resolved. in years past, people always went into past lives..... 

now getting people who never left the the source

or lived other planets, spaceships, dimensions

ones who came from god have no words to describe it

they can vibrate and shake.

togetherness.

vs. awayness; distance. don't like this feeling. have never left god before.  asked "why did you leave?" they ALL say, "we answered the call and decided to go. did not know how hard it would be! are pure love and want to help...... get here and say, what was i thinking? energy here is heavy and dense. pulls them down.

as soon as you enter the body, you forget.

do not want to get here - say "i want to go home" and have since they were children. many of this first wave have tried suicide. have a sheath over soul so they will not accumulate karma. is like sticky fly paper. 

second wave- are younger. are now in 30's, late 40's. channels of energy. are here just to be. don't have to do anything. are here just to generate energy. help raise frequency of earth. and people. energy emanates out of them. into people, and the earth.

are often not married. don't feel comfortable with it. many don't want children - that creates karma! many work from home. 

2nd wave has had it easier psychologically. 3rd wave are new children coming in. DNA is being changed at this time, so we can adapt to frequency/vibrations of Earth as it changes. New children have DNA already changed. They are the hope/gift of the world.  Get considered disruptive because they are bored. Are treated like children! Get it the first time. Don't like repetition. Give them challenges! Occupy their minds.

The NEW EARTH is being created. Laura Knight-Jedzik. We are in the middle of the wave. Began in 2003. Going into 4D/5D. 4D is time. We are in 5th dimension now.... not the earth, it is separating into 2 earths.... people will split..... some will stay with what they created..... new earth is beautiful, like paradise, step through and don't look back. has to do with raising frequency/vibrations. Earth is alive, it is evolving on its own. We are like fleas to earth.  ETs have a Plan B - another planet to save humanity if we are that stupid to destroy it... the 2 earths occupy the same space now; will split. vibration/frequency must be right. human body must raise to match planet - can only do so fast so the body can handle it. Began 2003.... you will have physical symptoms as this occurs, then it stops, then it goes up another notch.  don't know when this will happen. this is the first time in the history of the universe that this has happened --- they are watching to see if we can pull it off.  Addie Kirkwood - vision: concept of things splitting - she saw the earth, began to pull apart like a cell dividing, and it breaks apart. New:"We did it!"  Old:"Poor thing, she died believing all that."  All will be where they need to be. We are coming to that time. Will be subtle.  Things look different. Don't feel the same. 

Gets same info from multiple clients.

Asks lots of questions....

Symptoms:

feel ill, lasts a few days. high blood pressure. heart pallpatation, depression, diziness, headache, body aches and pains.

Barbara Marciniak: Bringers of the Dawn, 20 years ago, they talk about this transition time.

we go in/out of dimensions all the time. this isn't a bleed through..... like the Earth splitting...

she IS an information channel.....

she has been in this for 30 years.....

can't give a baby steak

energy of these pure beings.... in fetus energy of mother must be adapted.... or else miscarriage.... abductions are FOR adapting mother's body to receive energy needed to birth one of these spirits.

you create your reality. your life and everything in it. to go with new earth: to change your vibration - 1) get rid of karma; that is what holds you to old earth - you must forgive, release and let go. forgive yourself too. 2)  get rid of fear. government, church, etc. think for yourself. don't give your power away. creating fear in another makes karma. obama is a light warrior. 

time goes out on branches. nexus point. then it branches out again. you can control the future. focus on peace and harmony and you will have it. imagine power of group mind. it squares the power..... and we can change the future. we are doing it. wars should have started, but they have not.

government time travel is real - has been told to stay away from this. bob dean is correct. cloning. it is real. she does not want to focus on this. 

l

simultaneous lives. are real.

does healing. teaches her process in 3 day class. web site support group. advanced classes if needed.  is doing healings. australia. russia. students are able to heal. all kinds of diseases/broken bodies. this is what she is supposed to be doing now, spreading this information.... you do the regression first, and then the healing.... some want to keep their illness because it becomes their identity..... takes one session.

David Icke - WHAT'S THE TIME

on February 18th 2010, I wrote a short article about basal ganglia dysfunction via our poisoned planet with the splashline WHY IS TIME GOING SO FAST.

And it is, isn't it? You've noticed yourself how much time you used to have and how soon you nowadays run out of time. You look up from whatever you're doing and the day's gone. You're kicking your shoes off on Friday evening and before you know it you're doing them back up on Monday morning.

Now, this is not just about getting older and losing faculties. EVERYBODY is noticing this phenomenon ... so has David Icke; let's hear what he has to say.

We are in the process of changing 'yugas' from a time of suppression and ignorance to one of far greater enlightenment. To Consciousness, these are merely two very different experiences and we can choose what experience we have by where in the vibrational cycle we choose to enter this reality.

There is no-one with a gun in another dimension saying get in that body or I shoot. We make the choice, from the expanded awareness of out-of-body Consciousness, to have different experiences.

That may be hard for the experiencing level to comprehend - 'You say I chose to experience this shit, no way' - but life looks very different in the realms of pure Consciousness than it does in the perceptional confines of the body-computer, especially in a world specifically manipulated to entrap humanity in purely five-sense reality.

For whatever reason, we all chose to be here for this time of the great transformation of human awareness and experience as we change vibrational epochs. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves at all the challenges that have to be faced in this period, we need to focus and get on with what we have chosen to come here to do.

There are, and will be, so many challenges because the world created by the dying vibrational construct must collapse as its informational foundation is replaced by a new and higher vibrational era. If you change the software in a computer it is not going to decode the same images - 'world' - on the screen that the previous one did because the information is not the same. So it is with what is happening today with Planet Earth and the wider Universe.

One of the biggest challenges as we proceed will be coming to terms with the changing nature of time, because as the base resonance quickens, so will its decoded expression - time. [source DAVID ICKE]

Journeys with Rebecca:

truth vibrations.....

THE LION SLEEPS NO MORE

Take control of your experience ---- this will bring the control system down. Get out of your 5 senses --- who are YOU? I AM, Was and always WILL BE.  (no time!)

wake up from the amnesia

control system - tries extreme versions of the orwellian state...

we live in a holographic universe

hacked into by a bad force

chinese internet is censored.... ie, their reality is controlled

SUNS interact with black holes

out of black holes come vibration

stimulates photon release from the suns

the resonance goes through a cycle

it elicits different forms of information from the sun....

changes reality people experience as a result

this is the root cause of cycles of time.....

we are moving into a new epoch

the vibration/the reality IS changing

hacked into from the MOON

is where the HACK is being manipulated from

THE MOON MATRIX

broadcasts an alternative reality - changes info coming from SUN -- 

our moon is hollow

was put here

is the source of control

the last genetic manipulation

limited the frequencies we can see

e.g., animals look into space because the can SEE what we cannot.

the controllers

the 'gods'

are the reptilians

and we agreed long ago to never show them as they really are.  crewdo (south african) tells this story from his people too.

copper penis. was made of gold. golden penis of osiris. symbolizeds interbreeding with serpent gods and humas to create the necklace...... hanging from it, a hand, with all seeing eye and star of david (ancient esoteric symbol; rothschilds took it as theirs....) and constellation of orion.  flying saucer.  credo saw this is at least 1000 years ago. says the ships came from the moon. serpent gods exist on moon; they need earth's resources to exist there.

human food source is being removed. they eat people. there are many moons like this. they depend on the target planet for survival. they are terrified. are technically aware. spiritually dead. they need us to survive.

THE DAY IS UP!

Once we remove the moon matrix, it is UP.

keeps us left brained.

corpus collusum, bridge b/t right and left brain will open.

left brain: structure, apartness. language [THERE is language getting in the way again. jj - connect this dot]

right brain: connection to infinity, all knowledge

steven whiltshire (england, autistic savant..... drew landscape of london as seen from helicoptor..... got it right down to the # of windows in buildings)  [he thought in images....jj - connect this dot] 

they have put us in a smaller box than they are.

they are in FEAR of not surviving..... thus need to control..... state of flux terrifies them..... humans can go FAR beyond this box... cross a line of understanding of how reality works, and you can move 10,000 years in technological development VERY VERY fast because you understand reality is purely vibrational. {We put it together in our brain, on our 3-D reality viewer....}

the basis for the control system will fall....

Seen any Tall Blondes recently?

Bob Dean tells all:

to Kerry Cassidy of projectcamelotproductions

Candid and honest about part of his life: a coward; intimate relationship with non human intelligence since 3 years old. combat in korea, southeast asia, life was changed/saved over and again..... all around him died..... more became apparent over time..... past life regressions: 

at 3, hands under the arms lifted him 40 feet out of canal full of water and placed him on the cliff from where he fell. no one there.

Korea..... not many left..... bad war..... engaged Chinese - then came in at end of 1950 - attacking in pine forest - hear his favorite music, as do others..... lost 1/3 of his platoon that day.... piano concerto.  The radio man, company runner.... all heard the music.  6 of them at end of day, he moves to take a piss and incoming hits the fire.... they are all dead.

Viet Nam..... holes in floor of helicoptor; weren't there when the went up!... a huey.... engine gets hit; crash into flame - he is only survivor.

Tied to when he was 3. Why did he come to this planet? Has never been abducted. Regular face-to-face contact over last 20 years. 1991 began speaking openly about ETs, violating national security oath, and meetings continued face-to-face.  Anger/frustration at US govt, media, public - lying; not paying attention to greatest story in human history. Began to realize spiritually who he is and why he is here.....

Read a book; went into safe. was master command sargent on assignment in Paris in 1963. An Assessment -. Put him in shock. But yet he knew this. Top secret document. Military studying for 3 years then..... appendices, pictures: crash in N. Germany with 12 small bodies - read autopsy reports - 

    Was he set up?

Col. threw An Assessment on his desk, and said "This will wake you up".  Was a military study. Purpose was to determine: is there a military threat from these things? all over central Europe.  Gordon Cooper said they were all over the skies over Germany when he flew there, before becoming an astronaut.  1961 out of Soviet....... channel of England.... disappeared over Norwegian sea.  Large metallic circular disks.

Germans had superior technology. ET technology. Circular disks - Jim Nicols say they were flying them in the 1930's.

His contact has been with Tall blondes. Nordics.

There has been an ongoing war. The powers that be in DC and other places....... should ETs be disclosed?????

Is a type 2 civilization.

Believes a type 4 is also involved.

Realm of spirituality. Evolved beings; angelic compared to us.... we are quite primitive.  Millions of years ahead.....

Retired military 1976.

Went thru portal/door. Tuson. They can manipulate your awareness; erase an experience unless they trigger the memory... live in 2 worlds at once - HE IS. "I'm a tough old bird..... not an innocent.... kindof tuff, but at the moment I am living in 2 worlds."  Full recall of previous lives.  Is almost a basket case.  Jim [Nichols?] is sitting here...... knows him...... has not finished mission from beyond.....

You may be confronting some of this yourself.  More and more people are.  Waves of people here on earth at this time.... 

Neil did a white paper this year. Relationship with nonhuman intelligence since age 7.  Made him feel like a coward, so he is coming forward..... they manipulate matter and time..... you think quantum physics is weird, you ain't seen nothing yet.

time travel. portals. maniupuation of matter. erase your memory of a 6 week cruise with them.

s. az. back seat of a car went thru a portal. this statement would have gotten him committed several years ago.  was with a couple of them.  a fog.  a portal. 2 hours of missing time.

they were as material as he is/was. some walk halls of pentagon. 

you are an immoral being in a of multiple possibilities.  Kerry Cassidy is a major player.  Challenge the masses! Extension of consciousness will change the species. This reality will fall away and a new one will replace it. Prod people to wake up to see world they live in: you will walk in 2 worlds!!!!  The divine spark lives within - when people grasp this AND its implications..... the world will change.  the dweller within. imprisoned splendor.  yoginanda - self realization fellowship. recognize that you are a godlike immortal being. this is the point. you are an infinite spark of divinity. this transition..... will be painful..... bumpy ride...... grasp what you are!

Nevada to Pine Gap, AU through a "door" was told to him.... Plenty of underground facilities.  Aerospace command. Used to be Nebraska, Colorado Springs. Now headquarters is in orgit.  Trillions go to this.  Lance Lord, air force general, is commanding...joing services command, secret from the public.  is international.  US Navy/Air Force, Brits, Ykusa Pact:  Au, New Zealand, Great Britian, 1947 signed.  Was told about hyper-luminal flight 20 years ago,  mcdonnell douglas, lockheed martin, going outside this solar system... anti gravity and zero point energy for 40 years. American people have paid the bill. 

los alamos - had contained and sustained fusion reaction 30 years ago.  infinite energy forever.  we do not need the electric company!  (kerry mentions it is known for time travel.....) 

He does not know where "they" are from.

Intuitive gut reaction when he met this couple last year....

she confirmed they aren't from here

said you wouldn't understand if i told you.....

the galactic headquarters is not in our galaxy!

we are also talking about inter-dimensional. 

Authorities have know since before he retired in 1976.

She told him people would not believe him!!!

china, future war

nuclear

kerry asks, says she thinks they will be stopped

pete peterson takes the negative - will transpire

dean says we do have a future, and it is glorious. transition to adulthood as a species. they will not allow a nuclear war: we do not own the planet!  {See the day the earth stood still -- listen to Klatu!]

struggle between ET groups -- is not a war.  clan is divided. annauki split. has been going on a long time. there is a hierarchy.  intelligences above us with their own agenda. groups who visit us also have their own agendas. there is a higher hierarchy that is predominantly spiritual - angelic.

earth was terra-formed. life introduced. hierarchy has grabbed some above us and gotten their attention - told them they may not kill the earth. genetics to make them a slave race was bad enough.  now let them jump as a species!!! 

people who disappear.

many by choice.

taken. to other places. are alive and well, in other dimensions/places. shadow gov't is not in control.

simultaneous realities, each with own timeline.  LOVE joe six-pack, but don't try to explain this to him.

our concept of time is childlike. 

space and time cannot be separated.

the middle east

this coldren is focus of the experiment

because of the populations there... islam, christianity, judiasm..... stir up peitri dish! zoraster was there. 

gulf of aden, kerry asks..... 

stargates have existed on various places on earth for eons..... were put there for a reason.   Portales - a place in Arizona, named by the spaniards --- around Tuson.   One in Utah - The Hunt for the Skinwalker, a book.  One at Ranier.  They can open one where ever they choose....

He wont bite about Aden.

Kerry continues, Yemen, massing of troops.... ships.  

Dean says: There will be a revolution in Iran. We will not initiate. It will come from within Iran. Before the end of 2010. Will keep Israelis from bombing nuclear facilities.

Kerry asks - do you know about synthetic beings coming into planet at this time?

Dean says: greys are synthetic..... Roswell and other crashes, some survived, no one came to get them! they went back to the lab and made more: manufacture biological android.  WE CAN DO THIS NOW, can't we, asks Kerry???? Bob Dean says: there are US, UK, AU, China lab experiments that would drive christian fundamentalists crazy. WE ARE CLOING HUMAN BEINGS.  Annauki did this hundreds of thousands of years ago.  There are lab ships out there. Some have vast containers full of cloned humans. Maybe there is a clone of YOU out there!!!!  Put your soul in a new container..... this will help you leave this body~!  Tell Joe SixPack, or a Muslim fundamentalist that!!

A Cullis History Document

This letter was obtained from the personal papers of Harry Cullis, son of John F. Cullis and Mattie Kemp.  John F. descended from Henry W. Cullis (1831 - 1910) and Hannah Faraday (1835 - ?? ).  More about them later..... fun story!  For now, let's focus on the letter sent to my great Uncle Harry Cullis as the result of a syncronistic meeting during a change of planes in a Canadian airport in the 1950's!  Life is strange.

-----------------------Here is the letter.  (The original is handwritten.) --------------------------

private &

  personal            Brunswick Road

                Gloucester

                October 11th 1923

My Dear Sir,

    My daughter, Professor Winifred Cullis, has requested me to write you something of what I know of the surname Cullis, by which our family, and presumably yours also, have been through at least some recent centuries known to the world. You also ask if I can indicate where you and we come together in the joint use of the name and I am here, with pleasure, sending you from memory some notes respecting our name and your and our relative claims to it, which I hope may interest you. 

    Notwithstanding a competative modern French origin of the same name, but otherwise applied, there need be no doubt whatever that for us our family name is obviously and historically a slight modification of “Coilus”, the Latinised form of “Coel”,  this being the correct historic form of the name of three of the best known British Kings.  Unhappily this genuinely ancient name has been made ridiculous in the silly rhyme of “Old King Cole”.  Perhaps the stupidest of all the attempts ever made to turn priceless fragments of ancient story to serve the tune of childish amusement and the monumental ignorance of these later times.  We have no record of any ancient King Cole, the three Kings Coel  occurring in the course of the long period of some five hundred years, remain amongst the most real personages of the remote period to which they belong.

    In this connection you may perhaps deem it not unworthy of record that in an ancient Sussex Folk Song, these three Royal Coels, though first chiefly connected with more western countries of England and never especially so recorded for Sussex, are not only this popularly celebrated in their correct number and due order, but personally honoured in a chorus which to the uninformed may seem to be without meaning and simply ridiculous. When explained however it is obvious that the song was emphasized by an ??? accompaniment most meant for use by the unconquered and unconquerable early iron workers of the Sussex Weald, however it is not a local but a genuinely British enthusiasm which they expressed in their really notable refrains, “Here’s to the young Coel! And to the old Coel!” And to become not only the old Coel of British tradition and the Sussex song, but also to be commonly recorded by the more polite Latinised form of his British name as “King Coilus”, thus introducing the original form of the family name which is now both yours and ours.

    The still comparatively young Coilus no doubt had had a good time in Rome, since he was not only the son of Marcus and the grandson of Anviragus - British Kings tributary to Rome - but the grandson also of the young wife of Anrivagus, a Roman princess and daughter of Claudius, given to Anviragus by the Emperor himself on his seventeen day visit to Britian in the spring of the year 44 of our era. To complete and celebrate the success of his conquest of a considerable portion of this even then long coveted Britian, after coming to the kingship, Coilus is said to have regularly paid the tribute to Rome and to have reigned in great peace for the all too brief remaining twenty years of his life. It is also of course quite easy to understand that Coilus himself, with his Roman sympathies and dignity, should willingly use this Latinised form of his British name, first introduced in connection with him, but also used more than a century later by the last of the three Coels then reigning in the extreme east of England as the stubborn defender of Colchester against the Roman Constantuis Chlonis, then an aspirant and afterward attain?? of the imperial dignity. Presently, on making a peace with Colius, the latter, as a man of amity, gave his daugther Helena to the would-be Emperor in marriage and so she became the great Empress Helena, the refuted discoverer of the True Cross, the foundress of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem and by far the most famous woman known in the history of her time.

    If like me you have daughters and granddaughters to boast of, it may amuse them to reflect that if this famous ancient lady had not been in her youth the daughter of a British King and therefore a princess, and if the common form of address known to us now had only then been in use, she would have been familiarly recognized as little other than the Miss Cullis which has come to them today.

    I have ventured to suggest that if you could only be quite sure that representatives of your line were already at Penryn as early as the second century B.C., you might very well claim to represent the original stem of the whole family - while the rest of us can do no better that trace our attainment of it to some later period, we here in particular, not to our knowledge sharing your Cornish domisilo?- and not acquiring the name till at least 1213 years later than you might so have done, we get a first clue to the origin of our name only through an eatery in the famous Doomsday Book, the compilation of which was - by the way - ordered and to the old Coel of all.  “Twank-i-dillo, Twank-i-dillo, Twank-i-dillo!”  the genuineness of this scrap of ancient but doubtless modernised and thus still used Folk Lore may be regarded as at least suggested by the way in which it looks backward successively from the youngest to the oldest of the certainly three Coels and by its so tolerably indicating as it does in many a mystic gathering even now the music of the anvils and hammers of so very long ago.

    The French or Norman Cullis, a refined product of the cooks’ art, as also the better known port-cullis, the strong grating or gate which by sliding down into grooves - still to be seen on either side of many an ancient castle gate-way - denied admission in times of war, come from a Latin route signifying to flors or to glide, as my perhaps also the present day Coulisse, the well known name give to the ourside body of Parisian financial brokers, though perhaps scarcely the surnames of Jean Calas, the unfortunate 18th Century Protestant martyr of Toulouse and that of Count Caylus, the somewhat late emminent French Antiguary. But these may from our point of view be regarded as having only an accidental similarity and being altogether too recent to be concerned in the origin of our certainly more ancient name.

    You tell us that your original English home was at Penwyn.  This is a small Cornish town a little to the east of Falmouth, with its name aptly descriptive of its one straight street sloping steeply form the “pen” or hill behind, down to the water-side where the one industry of the place, the shaping of blocks of Cornish granite, is still actively maintained near to the wharves where they are transferred to small sailing vessels for transport to and insertion in the massive dock-walls, bridges and the like, in many of the great works of the Civil Engineer all round the long coast-line of this old England.

    You will doubtless have noted how brief are nearly all the true remains of ancient story whether carved in stone, impressed on metal, still preserved in documented histories, or strangely kept alive amongst the myths and fables of Folk Lore.  So it is that if you could only make sure that your people have not been more recent Cornish immigrants, but were already located there in the second century B.C. you might claim this as at any rate suggesting that you may represent the senior original and central stem of all us ancient Cullis’s, and this owing to the fact that whilst the first of the Coels, “the old Coel of all” is universally spoken of as King Coel, one at least of the Chronicles somewhat inappropriately describes him as having been originally a “Duke of Cornwall”.  Thence he is said to have penetrated in the year 128 B.C. into this part of the country, his conquests here including much of the Severn Vale and extending well up onto the Cotters wolde Hills.  Here there is a considerable parish, now and anciently Coels’ Brook, and therefore Cole’s boundry towards the east.  The ruler on the farther side of the stream would presumable then have been King Ceriu or Conu, whose name at any rate is preserved to us in the later name of the Roman Corinuim and in its modern form as Cinencester. It was also in these earlier Roman times in the earlier part of the second century of our era that on the death of King Marcus, his son Coel, having as the Chronicles say “spent all his young age in Italy”, was summoned home to succeed his father as King of the region hereabouts by King William the Conqueror, who usually kept his Christmas at Gloucester, at a Parliament held here at that season in the year 1085.

    Notwithstanding this our possible family inferiority to you I have taken the liberty of noting the fact that your special service to this our late age of the world must make you an authority in the details of the business of literary publication, as they obtain on your side or the water.

    Since becoming practically blind, I have spent some of my leisure time in abstracting from a local story, of the origin of our British Caes Glowe, which I wrote and my friends of the chief local newspaper here, bargained for first production in serial form some few years ago in their Journal.  My present effort is an  attempt to put forward, still in the same story form a less local and more general account of the first occupation by man of this western part of England, regarding it as both separate from, subsequent to and by a different people from the earlier and easier crossing from the continent to Kent, and so to the south eastern, eastern, central and generally more upland part of the country.  My principal object in this later production has been to offer in a sufficiently interesting and easily readable story and outline of the facts of the coming hereabouts of late prehistoric man and I have often wished that I might make the acquaintance of some sufficiently influential American Journalist with the hope of getting this later and less local story accepted for serial production in a succession of American newspapers if this sort of thing is acceptable amongst you.

    Whilst I have the more serious purpose of popularsing the realisation - by the multitude - of the antiquity of man, I should of course regard this as a business matter and the pleasant accident of your communication.... whether in may fall within your vocation personally to represent me on your side in this matter doing the best you could for me and of course retaining for yourself such renumeration as you wojuld be properly and by usage entitled to claim.

    I will not trouble you with details in this present letter but if you will be good enough to say whether and generally on what terms you would entertain this suggestion and also let me know what success one might anticipate in such an effort. I shall be pleased in a future communication to send you such further information as you may require as to the story, its division into chapters, the number of words in each of these and the combination with it or not of an introduction and appendix intended to be easily but more definitely instructive, related to but not part of the story itself.

    I hope that what I have thus written will not fail to be of some interest to you and peradventure to many generations of those yet to follow you in the long course of your branch - or original Cornish stem?- of our clan, and who may all the better realize the reality of ancient times and people because of this their association with the antiquities and dignities some record of which I have thus had the honor and pleasure of sending to you so far away over and beyond what I myself found long ago to be the stormy Western Sea.

    If in this I have not quite succeeded in making you a present of the coveted distinction of a “Royal Pedigree” for you and “Your heirs for ever”, I think you willl admit that I have succeeded in showing you that our name has an origin not only most truly royal, but as amongst other family names, of an almost unparalleled antiquity.

    With my sincere compliments and congratulations and all manner of good wishes to you and yours.

        I remain,

                            Yours Very Truly,

                            Frederick John Cullis

"....It has to do with the movement of light and geometric patterns (all is math and projected illusion) in and out of our frequency of perception - bending light, optics, refraction, invisibility, consciousness, etc. It all comes down to what is visibly real at any given level of consciousness and what is out there that we cannot see that is now merging with the frequency in which we experience. We see just so much with our physical brains, occasionally getting a glimpse of projected illusion in another space-time or time-space....."

Is It Time To Replace The American Dream?

Today's youth find little value in the caricature of human nature as rational, calculating and utilitarian. They prefer to think of human nature as empathic.

Editor's Note: AlterNet has launched its new Vision section to help grapple with the unprecedented challenges of our time. Every day, we'll have a new vision article on our front page -- Subscribe to our weekly Vision newsletterto stay on top of the coverage.

The following is an adapted excerpt from Jeremy Rifkin's new book, 'The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis' (Tarcher/Penguin; January 2010).

For two hundred years the American Dream has served as the bedrock foundation of the American way of life. The dream, reduced to its essence, is that in America, every person has the right and opportunity to pursue his or her own individual material self interest in the marketplace, and make something of their life, or at least sacrifice so the next generation might enjoy a better life. The role of the government, in turn, is to guarantee individual freedom, assure the proper functioning of the market, protect property rights, and look out for national security. In all other matters, the government is expected to step aside so that a nation of free men and woman can pursue their individual ambitions.

Although American history is peppered with lamentations about the souring of the dream, the criticism never extends to the assumptions that underlie the dream, but only to political, economic and social forces that thwart its realization. To suggest that the dream itself is misguided, outdated, and even damaging to the American psyche, would be considered almost treasonous. Yet, I would like to suggest just that.

The American Dream was spawned in the afterglow of the Enlightenment more than two centuries ago, at the dawn of the modern market economy and nation-state era. Enlightenment philosophers painted a new picture of human nature more in line with the new market forces that were promising a qualitative uplift in the standard of living of human beings. For 1500 years, during the feudal and medieval periods, the Church's dark view of human nature prevailed. Christian theologians exclaimed that babies are born depraved and in sin, and that personal salvation must await them in the next world with Christ. The Enlightenment philosophers views were a breath of fresh air, promising that market forces, if left unhindered by government, would guarantee every person the opportunity to improve his or her station in life. John Locke, Adam Smith, René Descartes, Marquis de Condorcet and other Enlightenment sages were of the belief that human beings were, by nature, materialistic, self-interested, and driven by the biological urge to be propertied, autonomous, independent and self-sufficient, and sovereign over their own domain.

Today, that dream is still fiercely championed by libertarian ideologues and tea party populists. Their increasingly shrill defense of the American Dream, however, seems almost panic stricken in tone, suggesting a desperate effort to hold on to a belief that may, in fact, be passing away.

How else do we account for the fact that the public discourse is becoming so ugly of late? The populist backlash against big government represents more than just a clash over legislative priorities. The opposition to a government stimulus to jumpstart an ailing economy, the reluctance to adopt universal health care, and the growing denial of human induced climate change speak to a deeper sense of apprehension and foreboding. Granted, there are legitimate concerns one might raise to each of these public policy issues. My sense however, is that there is something more profound taking place under the surface, a feeling, particularly among an older generation of Americans, that the American Dream is in jeopardy and, with it, our way of life.

After all, if the American Dream were really working, each person would be able to fend for him or herself in a self-regulating market and be without need of an economic stimulus package or universal healthcare. The reality, however, is that nearly one out of five Americans are either unemployed, underemployed, or have given up looking for work all together, and millions of families are facing foreclosures in a land where homeownership has been regarded as the epitome of the American Dream. Climate change is particularly upsetting; it implies that the invisible hand of the marketplace is both an enabler of global warming and incapable of addressing it without government intervention.

When we consider these big picture policy issues, what becomes clear, if we bother to read between the lines, is that our long held beliefs about human nature, and by extension, the institutions we have created to express those beliefs, played no small role in precipitating the very crisis that now faces the country. In a nation that has come to think of human nature as competitive, even predatory, self serving, acquisitive and utilitarian, is it any wonder that those very values have led to a "winner take all" syndrome in the marketplace in which the rich get richer while everyone else becomes marginalized, and the well-being of the larger community, including the biosphere, becomes eroded? The US ranks 27th among industrialized countries, in income disparity -- the gap between the very rich and the very poor. Only Mexico, Turkey and Portugal, of the OECD nations, have greater disparity of income. Moreover, the US enjoys the dubious distinction of being one of the two leading contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Could it be that the American Dream is becoming the American nightmare?

Interestingly, a younger generation of Americans is growing up in a very different world than the one described by the Enlightenment thinkers. Their reality is being lived out on a digital commons and in social spaces on the World Wide Web. All across America, our nation's teens are performing hundreds of hours of community service as part of their formal educational requirements. In school, they are learning that every activity they engage in -- the food they eat, the car they drive, the clothes they wear -- comes with a carbon footprint and affects the well-being of every other human being and fellow creature on Earth.

Today's youth are globally connected. They are Skyping in real time with their cohorts and friends on the far corners of the Earth. They are sharing information, knowledge, and mutual aid in cyberspace chat rooms, apparently unaware of the so called "tragedy of the commons." They have little regard for traditional property rights -- especially copyrights, trademarks, and patents -- believing information should run free. They are far more concerned with sharing access than protecting ownership. They think of themselves less as autonomous agents -- an island to oneself -- and more as actors in an ever shifting set of roles and relationships. Personal wealth, while still important, is not considered an endgame, but only a baseline consideration for enjoying a more immaterial existence, including more meaningful experiences in diverse communities.

Surveys show that the millennial generation in the United States is much more likely than older generations to feel empathy for others. They are far more concerned with the planetary environment and climate change and more likely to favor sustainable economic growth. They are also more likely to believe that government has a responsibility to take care of people who can't care for themselves, and are more supportive of a bigger role of government in providing basic services. They are more supportive of globalization and immigration than older generations. They are also more racially diverse and the most tolerant of any generation in history in support of gender equality and the willingness to champion the rights of the disabled, gays, other minorities, as well as our fellow creatures. In short, they favor a world of inclusivity over exclusivity, and are more comfortable in distributed networks than in old fashioned centralized hierarchies that establish boundaries and restrictions separating people from one another.

The new sensibilities of the younger generation are beginning to usher in a different idea about human nature and the dream that accompanies it. Today's youth find little value in the Enlightenment caricature of human nature as rational, calculating, detached, and utilitarian. They prefer to think of human nature as empathic, mindful, engaged, and driven by the intrinsic value and interconnectedness of life. Homo sapien is being eclipsed by homo empathicus, as they shift their horizon from national markets and nation-state borders to a global economy and a planetary community. Even their preferred indicators of economic progress are shifting, from the crude calculation of gross domestic product and per-capita income to more sensitive social indicators -- like health and longevity, social equality, safe communities, clean environment, etc. -- that measure the well-being of the broader community.

If we listen very closely, we can hear the whisper of a new dream in the making, one based on what youth around the world are beginning to call "quality of life". In this new world, the American Dream seems almost provincial, even quaint, and entirely unsuited for a generation that is beginning to extend its empathic sensibility beyond national identities, to include the whole of humanity and the entirety of the planet as their extended community. If the American Dream served as the gold standard for the era of national markets and nation-state governments, the dream of "quality of life" becomes the standard for the emerging biosphere era.

In this new, more expansive human setting, libertarian cries and tea party bravado suddenly seem far less significant. The assumptions about human nature and the meaning of the human journey that are bound up with the conventional American Dream, which motivate much of the current political brouhaha, are more like a faint echo of the past than a clarion call for the future. The empathic civilization looms on the horizon.
