“You, and every IS-BE on Earth, have participated in the creation of this universe. Even though you are now confined to a fragile body made of flesh; you live for only 65 short rotations of your planet around a star; you have been given overwhelming electric shock ALIEN INTERVIEW, edited by Lawrence R. Spencertreatments to wipe out your memory; you must learn everything all over again each lifetime; in spite of all these circumstances, you are who you are and will always be. And, deep down, you still know that you are and what you know. You are still the essence of you.

How else can one understand the child prodigy? An IS-BE who plays concertos on a piano at three years of age, without formal training? Impossible, if they did not simply remember what they have already learned from thousands of lives spent in front of a keyboard in times untold, or on planets far away. They may not know how they know. They just know.”   ~ Alien Interview

IS-BE

IS-BE_Airl Quote

“Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings.  This includes human beings.  For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up word: “IS-BE”.  Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of “is”, and the only reason for their  existence is that they decide to “be”.

No matter how lowly their station in a society, every IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment that I myself would like to receive from others.  Each person on Earth continues to be an IS-BE whether they are aware of the fact or not.”

— Airl (Officer, Pilot and Engineer of The Domain Expeditionary Force).  Excerpted from the book ALIEN INTERVIEW

BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

I recently re-read this satirically dystopian book.   It postulated, in 1931, a theoretical future civilization, which is approaching the look and feel of the current  western world.   The NWO is a rapidly coalescing totalitarian, socialist society of media controlled mind-control, enforced by social conditioning, moral re-education, social herding, and never-ending amusements provided (for a modest fee) to the dumbed-down, pleasure-hungry peasants, distributed through hand-held electronic gadgets.  “Happiness” is the goal…. mindless pleasure….freedom from want and pain…freedom from thinking….freedom from aging, from to conform without question to the dictates of an unseen government, and freedom to love everyone equally, and sexually.  However, it does not offer or allow the an individual the Freedom to be Unhappy…..

“The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can’t get. They’re well off; they’re safe; they’re never ill; they’re not afraid of death; they’re blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they’re plagued with no mothers or fathers; they’ve got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they’re so conditioned that they practically can’t help behaving as they ought to behave.  And if anything should go wrong, there’s soma.”  

(soma = euphoria inducing drug provided to every citizen in “civilization”)

Brave New World  is a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932. Set in London of AD 2540 (632 A.F. – “After Ford” – in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and operant conditioning that combine to profoundly change society. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, Brave New World Revisited (1958), and with Island (1962), his final novel.
