[GJM] Fw: The Real Global Threat and A Question for All - Brian O'Leary Comments - Marguerite responds

[marguerite hampton]

 Hi Everyone,

 My service provider is going to a new server, so sorry for the delay in
responding to Brian's 
message (see below) and forwarding it with comment so that the rest of the
Co-learner's list can get in on this discussion and see what we can come up
if we put our heads together. 

For anyone recently joining this part of our discussion, we are in
discussion with former astronaut Brian O'Leary as to where we might begin to
focus our energy in order to create change.  

 Brian, your comments are very much appreciated. First of all, let me say
that from the information I have gathered, it appears too late to "abate"
global climate change -- the tipping point appears to have been passed.  It
would seem very difficult to reverse the Gulf Stream once it has slowed by
30% -- However if you or anyone else has some information on how this could
be accomplished please comment on it and share knowledge. 

What I very much agree with you on is that "new energy" will be an important
factor in surviving global climate change -- just a few days ago we had a
report that solar and other "alternative energies" known to be possible at
this time are just not powerful enough to handle the challenges that global
climate change presents the human family with presently.  

Let me offer a comment as to to why the idea of "new energy" seems to be
*unacceptable* at this time to many people  -- based on my research as well
as that of Dr. Vernon Woolf, the cause lies within human consciousness. How
many people on the list recall that a few weeks ago I sent around an article
on three types of consciousness:  "particle" "wave" or "holodynamic"  (Woolf
- The Dance of Life -2005).  And, inlcuded in that article was a statistic
provided by John Chilton Pearce, author of "The Biology of Transcendence --
A blueprint of the human spirit" (among several other books on human
consciousness). JCP reveals in his book that "most people in our society
today are left brain, logical, linear thinkers". while Dr. Carla Hannaford
in her book:  The Dominance Factor, reveals that "the optimal ... state is
one of whole brain integration".  She continues to write that:  "In this
state, both hemispheres are equally active all the time, thus accessing ALL
sensory information and effectively communicating, moving and acting on the
information."

When we are operating from a state other than that of full brain integration
 one is in a "dissociated state" of being -- in other words, as Hannaford
indicates, one is unable to access all sensory information -- thus one's
vision is tremendously distorted because one does not see "the whole big
picture" but only part of it.  

As shown by Vern Woolf in his book "The Dance of Life" one's sensory screens
operate in accordance with how one's brain is functioning, e.g., whether
from left brain particle dynamics or from right brain wave dynamics, or from
an integrated holo-dynamic (holographic/holodynamic) 
point of view in which both hemispheres of the brain are integrated and
operating in sync with the triune heart brain.  In this state of being, the
brain is perfectly "entrained" in such a way as to allow one to experience
the whole dynamic of the hologram.  In other words, in this state "what is
known to the whole is known to the parts". Vern Woolf calls this state of
being: "the full potential self" and I am referring to it as: "the Christ
Consciousness" or the "inner consciousness".  In this state of being, we are
unlikely to make unhealthy choices because we are also aware of the
consequences of doing so. 

Note:  However, we may also suffer from the "add on pathology of addiction"
and thus continue to 'act in denial". And if there is interest, we will
cover this at another time.  Both Freud and Jung felt that society suffered
from a "collective neurosis" and that society had a "collective mind' based
on archtypes.  The collective neurosis was thought to have emerged from 
cultural urges".  In light of today's knowledge, one of the strongest 
cultural urges" appears to be the power or money as it pervades every nook
and cranny of our lives and is the "driver" of our social structure.       
 
There is a whole lot more to the story, but I hope I am beginning to break
through the barriers here to create an understanding that most of the
population of the United States (and the world at large)  is simply not in a
position of being able to understand "new energy" because their/our
 mind, at present, is simply unable to comprehend the concept.  And, since
the majority of the members of our society here in the U.S. are in this
state of consciousness, one might say we have developed "a collective
consciousness" in which dissociation (a pathological state) is the
prevailing state of being.  This state of being holds us in perpetual
patterns of war, violence, greed, and other destructive behaviors.  

Our job then is to move the collective into a "higher state of consciousness
 so that we may move into the future in health and wholeness.

In his book, "Transforming Human Culture - Social Evolution and the
Planetary Crisis", Dr. Jay Earley suggests that it is time for us to move
into a state of "global consciousness" which equates in many ways to Dr.
Vernon Woolf's "state of universal consciousness".  Developing a global or
universal consciousness means "being able to step back and see the
consequences of our actions as a species".  This is referred to as 
reflexive consciousness"; however, as a species, we are just now in the
process of developing this state of consciousness.  Developing states of
consciousness is very much associated with the manner in which our brain
functions.as it evolves
biologically.  Therefore it is imperative at this time that we begin to
understand "the biology of consciousness" and know "what makes us tick".  It
is no longer appropriate for us to operate on "faith-based" mythology -- we
must move into "science-based reality" and develop a new language that
defines accurately who we are in the world of today if we are to survive as
the human family.  

Since much of our perception and behavior is influenced by things we aren't
entirely conscious of
(called "holodynes"  by Woolf) whenever we can "phase space" (that is step
back and observe our behavior) we have a better chance of changing it. 
Knowing why we act as we do, we can then choose to act differently
(transform ourselves either as individuals or as a social collective) with a
better chance of succeeding.  That is, we begin to change at the level of
our DNA (the quantum level) how our sensory screens act and what 
in-form-ation" they perceive and let into our awareness. May I go back and
remind everyone that in-form-ation tells the structure what it is to do;
therefore since "form follows function" each individual or social structure
needs to be "in-formed" so that it can "self-organize" itself appropriately.
 When operating from either a "particle" or "wave" dynamic, it is impossible
to do this as the individual or social structure is operating from only a
partially formed viewpoint.  

In "The Biology of Belief" Dr. Bruce Lipton asks the question:  "How is it
possible that the mind can overide genetic programming. . . "? And answers
his own question writing:  "The New Biology suggests some answers to these
questions".  As we know, matter and energy are entangled -- the mind arises
from the physical body.  Thoughts, the mind's energy (in the form of
*in-form-ation*) directly influences how the physical brain controls the
body's physiology.  "Thought "energy" (information) can activate or inhibit
the cell's function-producing proteins via the means of constructive and
destructive interference . . ."  Lipton continues saying "That is why when I
took the first step toward changing my life, I actively monitored where I
was spending my brain's energy. I had to examine the consequences of energy
I invested in my thoughts as closely as I examined the expenditures of
energy I used to power my physical body."  

Note:  I have inserted the words *in-form-ation* and "information" in the
above paragraph.  

More later, but let's have some comments and discussion on this and begin to
understand why 
continually discussing the "symptoms of our disease" isn't getting us
anywhere.  We have to get into the "core issue" of "why we act the way we do
 and begin to elevate our consciousness from that point.

Hi Marguerite,
 
Right on with your read on the distractions of war
from the real task ahead of abating climate change for
our collective survival.
 
But we still need to become aware of lasting
solutions, of which new energy sources, heretofore
suppressed and unrecognized by mainstream science,
could provide us with a quantum-leap in cleanliness,
affordability and decentralization. These include
zero-point, cold fusion and advanced hydrogen
technologies, now being researched in scattered
laboratories throughout the world. Any one of these
technologies, if properly supported, could provide the
needed breakthrough to reverse climate change.
 
So the real question is, is it still politically
incorrect to discuss and promote the real solutions to
climate change such as new energy?
 
Respectfully,
 
Brian O'Leary, Ph.D.
