- "There are many popular myths concerning black holes,
many of them perpetuated by Hollywood. Television and movies have portrayed
them as time-traveling tunnels to another dimension, cosmic vacuum cleaners
sucking up everything in sight, and so on. It can be said that black holes
are really just the evolutionary end point of massive stars. But somehow,
this simple explanation makes them no easier to understand or less mysterious."
From NASA's 'Imagine the Universe.'

- From time immemorial mankind has associated life on earth
with life on this planet, as we exist within the entire solar system. What
is clear today is that we have lost our way entirely, whether we are speaking
of life among the stars or of life as it is still possible here, on what's
left of the smoldering earth: We say we have placed our 'faith in math
and science' but instead we have become only cynical-citizens in The Black
Hole Society: A society that has indeed become "Too Big To Succeed!
-
- Our original 'knowledge base' came from the study of
the stars almost as far back as history goes. It began with an awareness
of the position of the stars that could indicate everything from the time
to plant crops to pre-knowledge of the movements of migrating birds and
animals-all the way to higher mathematics and all the other major breakthroughs.
This enabled things like the construction of the Pyramids and the particulars
of the seasons, but it also allowed us access to some of the true mysteries
of life that if used properly, could keep this planet healthy and productive
for all its life forms. This wealth of early knowledge was especially evident
in things like the astrolabe; the pocket- watch-size star-map (pictured
above). This was a Second Century B.C. version of today's GPS-brought to
the world by the Arabs- whose historical museum of early global history
was totally destroyed in our 2003 invasion of Baghdad that began 6 years
ago.
-
- "Time" is an invention of man, overlaid on
an accurate understanding of the seasons and the cycles of life and death.
The Stars were used to determine one's location on the planet; whether
on land, in the deserts or the oceans; and that breakthrough defined "Place."
This led to the sophistication of mapmaking that enhanced trade-routes
and improved life for the developed world. When these breakthroughs supported
the natural growth of wealth and life, society's at large improved, to
the direct degree to which the knowledge was used to benefit the natural
balance and to the increased knowledge of the world, and our individual
part in everything in it.

-
- Of course along the way 'knowledge' became an end in
itself and the hoarding of knowledge became something of a cottage industry.
This was perhaps first undertaken by the Shaman's in the caves of 17,000
years ago-when 'art' was first used to connect whole populations to the
world and to the mysteries which were a huge part of everyone's ability
to survive within those widely scattered places in that ancient world.
-
- As time passed many 'religions' took their turn at 'controlling
what had by then become 'the secret or sacred knowledge.' As mankind continued
its own chaotic journey toward what we now have inherited; religions morphed
into political constructs designed around ambition and greed that undermined
the original balance and possession of wealth which the original knowledge
had offered to the species of human beings-turning everything into a bottom-line
mentality of acquisition and unchecked power. This artificial control,
sometimes called the law of Supply & Demand, has led the world of today
into the current quagmire of starvation and excess which has rendered whole
continents as impoverished zones of privation, wage-slavery and life-long
destitution.
-
- In America we have now had "thirty years of flat
and declining wages, 47 million of us in America without healthcare, 20
percent more people in poverty today than when George Bush took office,
and CEO pay that in 1980 was forty times as much as the average worker,
today is 400 times as much as the average worker-more inequality in the
US than we've had since the 1920s, the greatest inequality in the world."

-
- This savaging of the imbalance between Abundance &
Want is a direct result of our wholesale subscription, as a nation, to
our membership in The Black Hole Society.
-
- To address these unsustainable crimes against our fellow-beings;
Americans during the last two years began to publicly think about "Change."
But 'change' is not a well defined concept and can have very different
meanings. In history this 'change' can run the gambit from a localized
solar eclipse all the way to the death of an entire star system somewhere
in the universe; which means that those seeking such things need to be
very particular about what kind of 'change' they really want to have; especially
when the people they are making their demands of have not a single moral
or ethical bone anywhere within their thoroughly corrupted beings. The
current case in point refers to the pathetic case of 'President Barack
Obama a Fraud You Can Believe In.' (1)
