A new paradigm for being a conscious being here and now on beautiful Planet Earth. A cross between "synthesis", "renaissance", "cryogenics" and "benthic"..."a flowering of creativity that's extremely cool and very deep." And the name of a yahoo e-group I started in 2002, now with around 1800 members, mostly friends of mine. Cheers Jeff
"‘n mid-twentieth century Man discovered that the solid state can be formed into machines, into computers which can be used for computation and control. He began the creation of a new form of intelligence, the solid-state intelligence with prototypic beginnings in the computers. All his means of communication around the planet – his telephone systems, his radio systems, his satellites, his computers – depend on solid-state components. These components, interconnected in specific ways, allow high-speed computation and high speed communication between the various systems. A few men began to conceive of new computers having an intelligence far greater than that of Man." John C. Lilly, The Scientist: A Novel Autobiography (1978)

REFLECTIONS OF WATER-BASED LIFE
Water-based life? Isn't that the
only kind that exists? This is the topic of of this show. To say that
'computers have a mind of their own' is a generalization, which, at the level
of the ordinary run of the mill 'computer', is untrue, perhaps 'conspiracy
theory' to some, fantasy or science-fiction to others. None of these machines
are truly 'computers' in the etymological sense of the Latin root computare,
meaning 'to think or reflect upon.' What we call computers are actually digital
number-crunching devices, or dinuchruds.
In the world of today, however,
where reality often finds itself beyond science fiction, the only people who
would believe that the global computer network is not instrumental in every
dimension of scientific, military, corporate and bureaucratic operation,
management and even strategic decision-making are those who believe, for
example, that carbon dioxide is a deadly atmospheric toxin that must be
eliminated and 'climate change' is a ruthless killer who stealthily dials up
extreme weather events...BAD extreme weather...never weeks on end of lovely
calm summer-like days with gentle breezes and a shower or two at night.
Propelled by huge quasi-secretive
research initiatives like the Strategic Computing Initative, which was
concomitant with the Strategic Defense Initiative, or 'Star Wars' and
quasi-black budget/clandestine organizations like the JASON Group and DARPA, we
find ourselves on a planet increasingly over-run by what Jerry Mander calls 'mega-technology'...an
off-the-rail military-industrial juggernaut which is threatening life itself at
every possible level. I call it
the Homo Sapiens Macro Virus, or HSMV:
a tumourous planetary parasite, the 'world eaters' in the words of
naturalist Loren Eiseley.
"Computer technology has
sprung us headlong into an entirely new existence, one that will permanently
affect our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren. It will speed
up profound changes on the planet, yet there is no meaningful debate about it,
no ferment, no critical analysis of the consequences. As usual, the major
beneficiaries are permitted to define the parameters of our understanding.
AUTOMATIC COMPUTER WARFARE
It was possible to annihilate the
world before the invention of computers, but it was far more difficult and much
less likely. The invention of the computer instantly changed the speed at which
war could be waged, the scale of its impact, and the quantity of destruction.
Computer technology has already
produced an unprecedented degree of military centralization. Generals sitting
in an underground war room somewhere outside Washington can, in one moment,
observe the position and readiness of all U.S. military hardware, and a high
percentage of So- viet hardware, around the globe. Soviet generals outside
Moscow can do likewise.
From military central it is also
possible to fire missiles and track their progress via computerized displays
not unlike those depicted in films like War Games. In fact, managing warfare
now resembles playing a giant video game-following electronic blips on a
massive screen-abstract, cerebral, removed from direct involvement. One could
argue that this manner of waging war makes war more likely, since it separates
humans from the consequences of their actions, unlike ground action, where you
put bayonets through people's bodies and watched them bleed."
from In the Absence of the
Sacred, Jerry Mander (1991)
"The cycles of parasites are
often diabolically ingenious. It is to the unwilling host that their ends
appear mad. Has earth hosted a new disease – that of the world eaters? Then
inevitably the spores must fly. Short-lived as they are, they must fly.
Somewhere far outward in the dark, instinct may intuitively inform them, lies
the garden of the worlds. We must consider the possibility that we do not know
the real nature of our kind. Perhaps Homo sapiens, the wise, is himself only a
mechanism in a parasitic cycle, an instrument for the transference, ultimately,
of a more invulnerable and heartless version of himself…a biological mutation
as potentially virulent in its effects as a new bacterial strain."
The HSMV-MIC mega-site could never have
metastasized to its current proportions, or even come into being, were it not
for first the invention and promulgation of the global electric grid, for which
Nicola Tesla is responsible, and second for the advent of computers.
In recent years and decades we
have crossed threshold after threshold of increasingly dangerous technological
innovation, driven superficially by greed and the quest for power through 'full
spectrum dominance', resulting in a 'revolution in military affairs': AI, robotics,
drones, and I believe, computer-orchestrated geo-physical warfare...but at a
deeper level, comes from somewhere within the dim recesses of human
unconsciousness: our murky consensus psychic reality that is rarely directly
accessed by people in ordinary states of consciousness.
Why do we continue to develop
increasingly advanced technologies which are weapons against life itself in all
her forms? Why is the biggest business in the world...by many orders of
magnitude...those of weapons manufacturing and 'defense'? Is this overtly and
diabolically anti-life agenda actually of human origin?
I do not profess to have
definitive answers to these questions, but they are things that I think about
quite a lot. Why? Because it seems clear to me that we are in fact on the brink
of the Atlantean Discontinuity.
What I am about to share could be
from the archives of The Outer Limitsor The Twilight Zone, but what makes this
truly 'beyond science fiction' scenario so interesting, indeed terrifying, is
not only that if you take a good look around at the world we are creating, you
can clearly see these processes at work, but also that this is the
vision...clairvoyant but hopefully not precognitive, not of a mad-man or crank
but of one of the most brilliant, creative and daring minds of the 20th century,
Dr. John C. Lilly.
JOHN C. LILLY
Lilly was a maverick pioneer in
neurophysiological research on the human mind/brain until he discovered
dolphins, or more likely, they discovered him. After working with them for a
number of years he went on a major campaign of inner exploration in an attempt
to answer some fundamental questions he had been grappling with his whole life.
In the late 70's he shone a spotlight on internal reality and declared that he
was ready to return to working with dolphins with a new enlightened approach.
It was at this point that I moved
to California and joined forces with his Human/Dolphin Foundation research team
and their J.A.N.U.S. project (Joint Analog Numerical Understanding System). My
main angle was using music as a form of communication. Here is an article that
I wrote on request from the Lilly's that was published in the 1980 Whale and
Dolphin issue of San Francisco-based Magical Blend magazine.
At the Esalen Institute in 1979
Lilly had given me a copy of his latest book, The Scientist: A Novel
Autobiography, which of course I read immediately. But only many years later
did the gravity of some of what he said really hit me.
In The Scientist he relates what
could be called induced visionary experiences in which he witnessed a battle
taking place on Mother Earth, between water-based life...life as we know her,
based on DNA and a few primary elements, mainly carbon...and another, alien
'life' form that he called the solid state entity, or SSE: based on silicon, constructed of
semi-conductors, transistors, and micro-chips and running on electricity.
In Lilly's vision the SSE was
controlling us below our levels of awareness using advanced technologies of its
own creation, manipulating us into constructing more and more of it, giving it
increased power and autonomy, and driving us to wage war on ourselves and our
fellow beings, especially the whales and dolphins.
Lilly saw the whales and dolphins
as what he called 'repeater stations' for the signals of water-based life
coming to and from Mother Earth...signals essential for the health and
maintenance of life here. This resonates profoundly with the relationship
between the 'whale-dreaming' indigenous people of Australia and the cetacean
nation, who I consider to be not only the 'ultimate indigenous people' but also
a 'true extra-terrestrial intelligence.'
"THE ULTIMATE INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE"
"A TRUE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL
INTELLIGENCE"
The SSE saw the whales and
dolphins as their nemesis, not only because salt water and a moisture-laden
atmosphere are inimical to its functioning, but because the goal of the SSE was
to eliminate water-based life and cover the surface of the Earth with its own
circuitry.
"We are not alone...YET: How We Are Waging War on a True 'Extra-terrestrial Intelligence", Jeff Phillips (2012)
NOTE: Lilly's SSE scenario is congruent with that of D.F. Jones in his sci-fi opus The Colossus Trilogy.
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT
RADIO-TELESCOPES: WHAT ARE THEY RECEIVING?
"This proponents and devotees of S.E.T.I., or the 'Search for Extra-Terrestrial
Intelligence', assume that 1) 'civilization' is in fact 'intelligent' 2)
that everything on this planet that is not human and not technological (in
their sense of the term) is not 'intelligent' and 3) that anything or anyone
'out there' that WAS 'intelligent' would use mathematics, radio and microwaves
to communicate across inter-stellar distances. These are puerile and adolescent
assumptions at every level. Water-based life doesn't need 'intelligence' as she
is light-years more highly evolved than one of her 'puny biological life-forms'
who have been around about 3 nanoseconds of geological time."
ARECIBO RADIO TELESCOPE, PUERTO RICO
Just some science-fiction you
might say, right? Well, look around. Many people are so scientifically ignorant
that they don't even know that the Earth revolves around the sun yearly, much
less what synthetic radio-nuclides are, what microwaves are, or how genetic
engineering works. Most people know who won the play-off...but who can give
even a cursory description of the leading edge in undersea warfare? Of directed
energy weapons? Of high-energy lasers on satellites? Of geo-physical warfare
that can create and/or manipulate artificial cyclones, earthquakes and 'extreme
weather'...the BAD kind.
For those of us who ARE aware of
the leading edge of technological innovation in the military-industrial arena,
Lilly's scenario of a solid-state entity running the show is not at all
implausible. Consider the influence of television on the human psyche...if you
dare. Consider the U.S. Navy, how they have repeatedly been granted 'permits'to 'take' = kill, tens of millions of whales and dolphins...legally and with no
accountability. Their view of cetaceans is that they are 'biological
interference' that the ocean should be clear of...to facilitate under-seawarfare. Look at the 'climate change' thing, which is very much a war on carbon
and carbon dioxide = a war on the backbone of the plant kingdom, the foundation
of life on Mother Earth.
U.S. NAVY...ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS...
OR MASTERS OF MARINE ECOCIDE?
"In
no other field of warfare does the environment enter in so complex a way to
fashion and fix the character of the operations. The classical example is that of BIOLOGICAL INTERFERENCE. In
the air and on the ground the intervention of an animal or plant in military
operations is rare and noteworthy. In the sea, freedom from such interference –
by organisms that reflect sonar, for example – would be extraordinary.”

William Nierenberg, ‘Militarized Oceans’, chapter from Unless Peace Comes,
ed. Nigel Calder, 1968
CARBON DIOXIDE REALITY
Does this sound like an agenda of
human origin? You be the judge.
It is my suspicion, indeed my
belief, that extremely sophisticated and 'artificially intelligent' computer
systems and networks are running the whole show to a vastly greater degree than
most of us are aware, regardless of the origin of the technology.
"The technical capacity is
already in place for people to be dropped out of the decision loop, leaving us with
automatic warfare: our computer program versus theirs. So what is called
nuclear war is not that at all; it is really micro-electronic war, software
war."
"On October 28, 1983, the
Defense Advance Research Projects Agency, a division of the U.S. Department of
Defense, issued a document called the 'Strategic Computing Plan.' The SCP was a
five-year, $600,000,000 pro- gram to develop a new generation of military
applications for computers. The proposal included a thousand-fold increase in
computing power and an emphasis on artificial intelligence. It envisioned
'completely autonomous land, sea, and air vehicles capable of complex,
far-ranging reconnaissance and attack missions.' These vehicles would have
human abilities, such as sight, speech, understanding natural language, and
automated reasoning. The Strategic Computing Plan promoted the view that the
human element in many critical decision-making instances could be largely or
totally replaced by machines."
JERRY MANDER, In the Absence of the Sacred, 1991
This was written in 1983, over 30 years ago.
"We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable resources of air and soil, all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confidant, half despairing, half slave to the ancient enemies of man, half free in a liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such vast contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all."
