THE ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

THE ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT
“Activate full-spectrum awareness and navigate the unknown!”

Austral Autumnal Equinox 2007
EARTH/SOLAR SYSTEM

NOW

Greetings! Today seems like a good day to bring more fully on-line what it is that I am really all about. As an artist and musician I love the beauty of nature and the wonders of the cosmos; but as a planetary citizen and free-lance intelligence agent I am deeply concerned about the current global scenario for life as we know it.

Because of our long-term lack of education, aversion to “heavy” matters, and the pervasiveness of “mental genetics” and the infotoxin (1) syndrome, as well as my desire not only to be informed but to have well-informed friends…who make better crew members for Spaceship Earth than sleep-walkers…I spend a lot of time and energy trying to increase the resolution of my “big picture” and on sharing what I find.

This is the purpose of my “synthaissance” e-group. I am the first to say that, yes, I do send out a lot of “heavy” stuff, i.e., stuff the “normal mind” does not usually want to hear much about. You know, like the dangers of the nuclear scenario, the DU babies, the saturation of industrialized nations with broad-band toxicities and zombie fields, genetically engineered politicians (“Heil Arnie!”) and depleted intelligence munitions [dims] (“And now join us tonight for…National Security Idol!!!”) (2) The horror of what is happening with the cetaceans. As you know…the list goes on.

Mass-media in general does not cover these issues in any kind of meaningful or effective way; if they are mentioned at all, it is with acute spin and “perception management” doctoring. The “news”, moreover, is little more than images of “important people talking to other important people”, presumably about important matters that only they comprehend; the daily ration of the “Muslim terrorist” threat/”war on terrorism” advert; and anything that is either bleeding, dying, both, or dead. Sorry folks but “That’s the way it is…”

I sometimes get blamed for being the “harbinger of heaviness”…not only do I network actively but also, in personal encounters, I will bring up and try to discuss matters that many people simply don’t want to hear about. And I don’t mean that their team lost in the latest match; I’m talking about stuff that affects all life as we know it on this planet!!!

Forgive me everyone!!! I’m just trying to compensate for what mass-media in general is lacking. Maybe I should integrate it all into a “comedy” routine like the brilliant Bill Hicks!!! (3)

But WHAT I’M REALLY ALL ABOUT IS THIS: we ARE the ultimate technology!!!!!

It’s quite empowering actually.

This may be the single most important idea you will consider; it is no less than a true revelation of immense magnitude…yet simple and obvious once you think about it.

What’s more…unlike What the Bleep Do We Know and The Secret…the “ultimate technology” is just that: an idea, an outlook, a way of looking at yourself and your fellow life-forms. It’s not a new-age marketing scheme, a pyramidal metaphysical-Amway™ scam, nor is it wealthy-looking gurus, seated in comfortable chairs, with very white teeth assuring you that “reality” is whatever you wish it to be.

The “ultimate technology”, being an idea, cannot be sold or marketed; excusez-moi, mais, au contraire, mes amies…YOU ALREADY HAVE IT! YOU ALREADY ARE IT!!! IT’S FREE…IT’S NOW…IT’S IN YOU!!!

All you have to do is be aware of it and it becomes operational…it’s an “awareness activated” software environment. Your thought, your awareness of any certain level or sub-system automatically activates that level or sub-system and puts it at your conscious command, unless it is a level or sub-system that is already functioning properly.

But think for a moment about everything in you…in your mind, brain and body…that is already automatically functioning…almost everything!!!

To me, THIS IS MIRACULOUS!!!

So this is what I am really all about. Realizing that we ARE the ultimate technology…that ALL life-forms are the ultimate technology…will lead to an exponentially increasing awareness curve growing in proportion to the number of minds who choose to create and implement customized internal software, for example, “creativity enhancement algorithms.”

As the network of bio-noonic (4) interconnection grows in breadth, depth and resolution, each of our own awarenesses will expand to encompass a greater horizon of identity, i.e., what we think of as “ourself.”

Eventually we may realize that we ARE the Earth.

The Ultimate Technology Project (5) is about awakening our latent potentials and bringing on-line literally myriads of amazing abilities that we already have; even more importantly, this project is dedicated to fostering creative thought and imagination, in the individual and in the human mind, in the service of life and love.

"WHO ARE THE CETACEANS?" JEFF PHILLIPS


The cetaceans are more than just large-brained mammals who live in the ocean, breathe air and give birth to their young; they are more than "highly intelligent" animals with complex social systems and sophisticated uses of sound like echo-location and communication. They are even more than the "people of the sea", which is how the ancient Lemurians referred to them, humans being the "people of the land."

A few years ago I was talking with musician Ralph Towner about doing live musical dialogues with whales from boats and beaming it into space via radio-telescope. He thought the project was interesting, but his immediate comment was that "we should really leave those people alone."

To me, the cetaceans as a whole possess not only the full spectrum of attributes which humans have traditionally reserved exclusively for ourselves, including self-awareness, but beyond these they show through the example of how they live an "intelligence" more highly-evolved than that of "man, the wise."

The cetaceans, for example, are far more perfectly adapted to their environment than we are ours; and they live in the sea, which not only covers 70% of the Earth's surface and enables relative freedom from gravity as well as self-locomotion in three dimensions, but is also a much more stable environment than land and provides protection during periods of cosmic energy bombardment.

We don't really know all that much about their inner experience mainly because we haven't bridged the physical communication barrier, but I think that it is likely that they are capable of all endeavours that indigenous humans participate in, for example, advanced knowledge of astronomy and cycles of time, knowledge of the sun and planets, mapping the ocean and sky, knowledge of plants and foods, oral histories shared from memory, spiritual psychologies, a sense of the sacred in their lives, and music.

They are gifted with "internal technologies" much the same as we have been; yet I believe they have developed theirs much more fully than we have, as we have been distracted by a full spectrum of external hardware and extra-somatic artifacts which seem ultimately to be our down-fall.

Our most highly advanced external technologies are used in the service of killing; not only do cetaceans not kill members of their own species, they show a profound deference for "man, the wise" even in the face of repeated abuse on our part. Dolphins have been known to go to great lengths to assist humans in distress; and Capt. Paul Watson's (a founder of Greenpeace and currently Sea Shepherd) life was changed from momentary eye-contact with a breaching cachelot who was about to crush his dingy and then rolled to spare him.

Greek naturalist Pliny the Elder said he believed that dolphins were capable of something that even humanity had not attained: "friendship for no advantage."

The cetaceans have been on the same planet as us, with neurobiological systems more highly evolved than ours, for tens of millions of years. "Man, the wise" only came to be about a million years ago. That they live in tune with the Earth is an understatement.

I think we are living on their planet. "Man, the wise" is wreaking catastrophe upon catastrophe not only on the cetaceans, but on the Earth as a whole. We are destroying in years what Mother Nature has taken billions of years to create and bring to fruition.

That we do not recognize the cetaceans as fellow beings is a testament to our blindness, our unwillingness to open our hearts and minds to who they really are.
I do not think that humanity is innately dysfunctional; but in our present condition of amplified koyaanisqatsi, we as a whole are no longer "people" but have become the HSMV, or "homo sapiens macro virus."

I think that the word "people" should be reserved for those who act like real people�and in the homo sapiens population, these are few and far between!
The cetaceans are the REAL PEOPLE of planet Earth!!!

John Lilly believed that if we couldn't even learn to communicate with fellow intelligences possessing similar neurobiology and living on the same planet, there was no way we could hope to communicate with beings from other worlds.
If the remnant of "real people" in the human population got together and made a huge effort to reach out to the cetaceans and attempted a quantum leap in our abilities truly to understand and communicate, we might actually become more than we have ever been...not only "real" people but for the first time, the actual "crew" of Spaceship Earth!

STUPA STAR-TRAIL/HUNAB KU HUIFE CHILE

This photo is approximately 20 minutes, using Kodak ASA 400 print film, and a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 lens at f/4. The white cloudy area is the Milky way, and the brightest region is the center of the galaxy, what the Mayans call the "Hunab Ku", the "one giver of life and movement." This region is where the constellations Scorpio and Sagittarious meet. The dome of the stupa is illuminated by light from our camp-fire. The Tibetan Buddhists built this stupa here because they intuit that in this area is a major planetary energy vortex; with the reversal of the Earth's magnetic fields happening, the power spots of the northern hemisphere are shifting to the south. South-central Chile IS an immensely powerful place; Huife, where this stupa is located, is only 30 kms from the Rucapillan volcano, the third most active in the world.
