The world will       not end because the world has already been saved. The aquarium saves the world       by reminding the world, in a novel fashion, that it has already been saved two       thousand years ago.        The aquarium is the second coming, for all practical purposes. The aquarium       walks softly and carries a big eschaton. This second offer of salvation is the       offer that the world cannot and will not refuse.              This is a very pragmatic idealism. Reasoned negotiation is our strategy. We       prophesy the inevitable. The spiritual revolution will be played out here in       cyberspace before anyone has a chance to pick up a rock to throw through a       window.              In this revolution, I am the good cop and my buddy Ron, the spook, is the bad       cop. We conspire to place ourselves between the world and the eschaton. We       also place ourselves between cosmic intelligence and central intelligence. To       do our jobs we do not        have to be or become anything, we merely have to hang out here at the end of       the world, thereby being the fulcrum which Archimedes sought.              This is no harder or easier than any other job. We merely demonstrate how all       of us are in the right place at the right time, for the final few who do not       already know that.              The aquarium does not have to make a splash. The right pebble at the right       time in the cyberpond will send out the ripple that people will feel when they       need to feel.              The whole pond will be the aquarium, a conspiracy without a secret or a       boundary.                             A Glitch in Time...       All of history can be seen as a preparation for our impending close encounter       with the eschaton.              As the event draws nearer, the preparations become more obvious. Of particular       concern in this regard is the likelihood of a strong negative reaction from       this world’s power structure. This would have been the case if there had not       been a preemptive        move on the part of the higher powers.              A compelling scenario for this preemption comes in the form of a trojan horse       visitation directed particularly at the military-industrial complex of the       U.S. Something like this has certainly become an icon of popular culture, and       at the end of the day,        what may have actually happened will be a moot point, relative to what could       have happened or what people believe, or what the authorities come to believe       may have happened. Having a literalist frame of mind is useful in the hard       sciences, but often not        in the soft sciences.              The higher powers look for the meanest dog in town and send it a gift horse in       the form of an exotic package that will confound all the kings men as they try       to reassemble it. They cannot swallow it, nor can they spit it out. They are       left with a funny        looking visiting sage who lectures to them at his leisure about the finer       points of cosmic etiquette.              The junkyard dog learns table manners in the privacy of his own dog house.                             Enter, the aquarium...       No! Enter, the aviary.              Find yourself in the bowels of the cold war machine, in the belly of the       beast. I spy? No, Psi Spy. It is cheap and dirty, and the occasional       spectacular hit provides a few new kids, the aviary, with an enter up to the       window of the dog house. They        caught a whiff of the weird and just followed their noses. They are allowed to       press their noses against the glass. They see a funny looking guy surrounded       by grown men who are crying, but now house broken, nonetheless. The Grown Men,       The Kids, and        finally El Nino...              It’s deja vu all over again. Herod’s henchmen have been temporarily       neutralized. Along comes the aquarium, tripping through the tulips, and       muttering things eschatological. We are not given enter to the privy chamber,       but we can mingle with the        homeys in the hood and on the Hill.              Anything more, by way of access, would probably violate the prime directive.       Salvation comes from within, spontaneously, and the most we can expect is to       be allowed to prime that spiritual pump, having been indirectly set up by the       aforementioned cosmic        glitch. The aquarium is opportunist, looking to be in that certain place at       the certain time.                            Dan’s place?               And where is the proof?       The proof is in your head and in your heart.              That is where it will be when you feel an urge to look for it. We have been       looking for truth in all the wrong places, through telescopes and through       microscopes. We can only wander so far into the cosmos before we see       Friday’s footprints leading back        to our own souls, thus completing the sojourn of history. That is the       apocalypse when the heavens fall and become the new heaven and new earth,       ourselves at the helm.              Our lower powers break the illusion of separation becoming one with the higher       power. That is what our starry messenger came to tell us. That is what I pass       on to you. You want it from the horse’s mouth. That is what I and now you       are.              There is no hurry, we have all the time in the world."              http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_esc       aton.htm#Definition              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
