   The Aquarium Rationale   
      
   "The eschaton is the problem - The Aquarium is the solution   
   The aquarium preempts the eschaton.   
      
   We transform the eschaton into a transcendental opportunity. 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."
