Ghosts in the machines?

As we approach a higher level of cybernetics and automation, strange questions arise. There already is a percentage of people with synthetic limbs and elements that make up their being. I can imagine, without difficulty, the opposite; cybernetic beings with human elements. Such examples could be skin or brain tissue. We would undoubtedly attempt to create this entity with much human likeness. Would a synthetic being begin to have desires? Moreover, when could you protest that it had a soul? What if an android could generate a soul all by itself? And if it did, what would then be the importance of being human?

Would it be our DNA? Our memories? Emotions?

Now, it can be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become, and will continuously become, more complex. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So logically and essentially, man is only an individual because of his intangible memory. Yet memory can't be defined, but it appears to define mankind.

History and Culture

FROM PREHISTORY TO MODERN DAY

Unlike early human scavengers, it is highly speculated that we evolved from the natural predators of our home world. Our hunting skills were so advanced that our food-supply was facing extinction due to our growing population. Because of this, similar to humans, we learned how to cultivate food. We became aware, in these early stages of development, that our environment was fragile. Our enlightenment was not spiritual, it was ecological. The ages that would follow bore many naturalists who promoted a new lifestyle, one that would allow us to become one with our natural surroundings. Our desire to understand the natural world brought forth an era of discovery. From environmentalism was born genetics and we began mapping the blueprints of life. In turn, naturalist organizations were established to safeguard our ecosystem. Due to our independent nature, the concept of governmental control was never formulated. Our matriarchs made their transition from tribal leaders to Earth Mothers and it became their responsibility to ensure that nature remained untainted. We soon made contact with an alien species who visited our world during the known height of our civilization. We tolerated their presence and allowed them to established trade with us. Throughout the years, our interactions increased drastically and we eventually entered an alliance with them. It was also brought to our attention that this off-world species felt our knowledge in ecology could assist them in salvaging their failing ecosystem and requested our presence aboard a galactic expedition. Seeing this as an opportunity to examine the natural habitats of distant worlds, many of us left our homes. Most of us had no idea that we would never return. The Great Divide would leave us stranded on various planets, including Earth.

SOCIETY AND CULTURE

We were born in a matriarchal society, meaning that our mothers were the undisputed source of authority and wisdom. Our fathers were polygamous but often supportive of all their heirs. We were born free and there were no laws, other than what nature dictated. It was through nature that we found honor. Because of this, we came to aggressively support freedom, equality and tolerance. From our perspective, to stand against these natural rights was to stand against life itself. Any opposing claims and/or conflicts of interest were settled through combat (natural selection). The ritual of combat itself was observed by everyone (male and female) regardless of condition, age and/or purpose. However, combat did not always result in death. While we agreed that nature embodied both benevolent and destruction qualities, we had the utmost respect for living things and their desire to survive. In this, we had developed a primitive form of compassion. Our lives were often marked with personal honors and achievements in contributing to the longevity of our species and its ecosystem. However, we never directly compared the worth of any two individuals. Forms of indirect worth were often determined during our courtship rituals, since the female was the one to initiate the relations, not the male. Unlike humans, we have no sense of gender or sexual orientation. Intimacy was often shared between members of the same sex. Intercourse could be viewed as both personal and impersonal, being the sole means of reproduction. Regardless of the circumstances, the primary focus of such interactions was pleasure.

Please contact me for more information.

The Great Divide

I do not remember my home world other than through the faint memories that my ancestors have shared with me. To be honest, I don’t remember much of anything before the alliance that preceded what we call the Great Divide. Some of us remember that day when the Emperor of the Stars courted our matriarch in an attempt to establish an alliance through marriage. Their first child became our undisputed sovereign, who answered only to the Emperor himself. However, he was not alone in his command. His step-brother, commander of the imperial forces, was certainly not content in sharing power but we, being bound to honor our traditions, had no choice but to accept the circumstances. It was this bond that pledged us to interplanetary expeditions at the expense of our new alliance.

Earth was one of the many planets destined for exploration. Many had studied its past and predicted that it would have life but (more importantly) also the resources that the alliance was desperately looking for. It was an imbalanced mass that had suffered cataclysmic damages some five billion years ago but had somehow synchronized its new orbit around Sol; the conditions became ideal for growth. It was almost one-half million years ago that we first arrived on the planet in search of resources. Things sometimes appear easier from the external perspective. We were not accustomed to this environment and the work-load became quite rigorous. Our moral was battered with the amount of effort this task demanded and we began looking for alternative means of assistance. We employed local life-forms to work our mines but soon the shafts were filled with odors and foul stench. Many began to feel that this mission was impossible and defected. There were several skirmished between rebels and loyalists, that was until they sent the Crown Prince to takeover operations on Earth.

Many rebellions were crushed and lives were lost. The remaining outcasts decided to move underground and hide from punishment. Our own sovereign’s power was usurped and the planet fell under the control of his half-brother. However, it was not the end of the uprisings. The spirit of my people can never be suppressed. Following the creation of superior humans, a whole new dynamic was brought to the world. When permitted to breed openly, this species became one of the fastest growing races on the planet. Some were displeased with this but found the process necessary. Years would pass (and the tension would grow) as these two born commanders, sons of the Emperor, contended for control of this new species. It resulted in open warfare of the most horrific kind.

Humans would observe this epic conflict as a religious war between all-powerful deities. It would told for generations to come, throughout the ages, as the battle between Good and Evil. In their eyes, this conflict was divine. They were caught in the middle of our collapsing alliance; a war that would literally shake the Earth. However, they would not know the truth for ages to come. The Crown Prince would become God and our sovereign, his eternal rival, the Devil. The imperial forces would become angels and my kind would soon be called demons. From the eyes of mankind, the battle raged in the heavens above, space, as the fallen came crashing to Earth. Cities would turn to ash with the deployment of super-weapons; the wrath of an angry god. The conflict would spread elsewhere, many of us assumed, but that was an adventure I would never see. I was left here, on this planet, along with many others following an unexpected, mass-evacuation. To this day, it remains unexplained.

The humans were bitter and aggressive from our epic battles. Some hunted us in revenge and others idolized us as deities. However, regardless of our divine rank, we had to face the inevitable problem: We were aging and there was no way to prevent physical death. Much of our technology was destroyed and we were forced to work with whatever tools we had left. Genetic engineering was the first step to establishing our new means of longevity. It involved a lengthy process that would allow us to transmigrate from our own bodies and reincarnate into those of our engineered humans. We did what we had to in order to ensure our survival. In return, humans advanced, birthing a new era of science and agriculture. In time, they would use all that they had learned to build their first civilizations.

There was no conspiracy or secret plan to take control of the human race. We honestly were not thinking that far into the future. Over time, thousands of years, we evolved along with everyone else. Yet, there still remains the lasting imprint of the Great Divide; the vague retelling of epic disasters that took place many thousands of years ago. Many of us were fighting for our freedom. Many were fighting against the oppression and slavery that had bound our kind to the will of others. I won’t ask you to understand why our war was necessary. I simply hope that someday we can put aside our past and help build tomorrow for everyone.

Understanding Starseeds and Reptilians

Recently, I have been confronted with many questions as to my kind and what our purpose is here on Earth. So, perhaps we can begin with the basics: What is a Starseed? The word itself is an ambiguous term for a variety of different extraterrestrial life forms (including Reptilians) that have reincarnated as humans on this planet. They are commonly mistaken as one species but many rarely share similar attributes. They are often misconceived as having a universal mission to help the human race enlighten themselves, which is not always true. Though there may be many Starseeds who genuinely desire to assist mankind in their survival, some are disinterested and indifferent to humans in general. The reasons for these views revolve around their origins, culture, beliefs and experience on this planet.

Similar to the classification problems we find with Indigo Children, it is nearly impossible to make definitive statements concerning Starseeds; you will find that they are full of surprises. They can embody anything from an affectionate teacher to an ultimately destructive tyrant, depending on their views and experiences. In this aspect, it is most fortunate that many Starseeds choose to remain passive in observing their environment from a neutral perspective. They may lend a hand when they find it necessary, or throw a wrench in a system that they feel is counterproductive, but generally they keep to themselves. Even if they disagree with the current state of this planet, they usually exercise respect and unbiased decision-making.

There have been many questions concerning their means of transmigration (moving from one body to another). Similar to how one may unconsciously collapse subatomic particles in order to travel along the non-linear fourth dimension that most call “time,” Starseeds navigate through fifth dimensional possibilities in order to determine when and where they will reincarnate. Unfortunately, once they are confined to their corporeal incarnation, they are unable to travel beyond the Fourth. Because of this, some falsely suggest that Starseeds (and particularly Reptilians) are anti-spiritual. In truth, their evolved perspective leaves them with an acute understanding of spatial mechanics but ultimately an impractical outlook on reality. Some Starseeds have difficulty accepting their circumstances and may look for ways out (like suicide). They may also turn to mind-altering drugs to simulate certain states of consciousness; unfortunate truths.

It is speculated that that some Starseeds may also choose their destination through generational color and that (as demonstrated in the modern world) many Starseeds have chosen to incarnate during the Indigo array. Through this incarnation, they themselves become Indigo Children. While this combination is ideal for their existence, it become a potent but dangerous mixture, since they assume the qualities of both groups. I think that, for this very reason, it has become increasingly important to help promote understanding within the Indigo movement itself. We are all aware of the unlimited potential found in this generation and its members and there is no reason why we should not work together (please view my first post).

Because Starseeds can easily conceal their attributes, and tend to avoid attention, it has become increasingly difficult to find an accurate way of determine their origins. We know there are several types of Starseeds (each from different home-worlds) and there does appear to be connections as-to their involvement on the planet many years ago. I have explained some of this in previous posts. I have also made mention that some Starseeds are perceived as angelic while others (like my own kind) have been perceived as demonic. These are strictly religious opinions and have no relevance to our ways or culture. There are other kinds of Starseeds as well, including various cross-breeds; though I have never experienced more than three types myself.

Within these subcategories, not only can Starseeds by classified by species by they can be categorized by generation (as relative to their time on Earth). While fewer first-generation Starseeds may exist today, there are still some scattered throughout the current population. As opposed to popular belief, men and women in power do not need to be Starseeds and (in fact) many of them are not. We (especially my kind) have avoided using methods of control because we do not feel that it would be fair. However, this does not exclude the fact that some Starseeds may show inclined interested in political power.

While on the topic of classification, there are also other physical methods of determining the species. Certain attributed, like climate-preference and bodily circulation, have been shown to help determine species. I apologize that I am unable to release sensitive information about the physiology of these particular races but I (being one myself) am under certain codes of conduct. One must understand that politics plays an important role in establishing stable relations with other species. I am not willing to sacrifice these stabilities for the sake of public inquiry. Contact me (in private) if you would like to discuss my own personal physiological differences.

I’m looking forward to going into further detail on this subject. However, seeing as I need to be awake early tomorrow, I will have to save that post for another time. I’m also looking forward to working with the New Age Generation from Blogspot (and Google Groups) along with extending some of these posts for the Indigo Society. Thanks to our parent organization, we have been able to reach out to more people over the past couple weeks. If you have any comments and/or concerns, please contact me.

Indigo Crisis on the Horizon

Despite lifetimes of intense research and the never-ending pursuit to know more about ourselves, we are often posed with the dilemma, “Please, tell me something I don’t know already.” How can someone so socially advanced, so intellectual, be so alone in the world? Even animals have their own personal connection and exist harmoniously with their surroundings. We're so desperately in search of answers that sometimes we're willing to believe things about ourselves that are not true. It is this very problem that I would like to address in this article because it is crucial to our future and the way we, as Indigo Children, interact.

As I skim these websites in an attempt to find my own personal answers, I cannot help but see a frightening pattern forming on the horizon. All the sites seem to maintain a uniform belief that Indigo Children are some kind of evolved lightworkers that they have returned to usher in an age of peace. While the latter may be true (depending on our current social crisis), the polarized misconception that we need to comply with some hokey New Age rhetoric is absolutely absurd. We are the next generation and we do not need this 80’s mentality shaping our decisions; we are beyond previous forms of enlightenment (in occurrence to our evolution). One does not make better products from the same materials. As such, we have our own unique perception of reality and our own beliefs on how it all works. More importantly, as individualists, we do not believe in conformity and/or forcing others to comply with our personal beliefs. However, it appears to me, that these sites and those who promote them, have made an ignorant attempt to shape our generation because they feel that they know what is right. Well, let me propose the notion, that while my own beliefs may be exclusive to me (and not work for others), I know when something or someone is being ignorant. No matter how brainwashed they have the Indigo Children of this world, we know inside what is right for us.

While it may be true that many New Age parents were behind the commonly endorsed theory of Indigo Children, I do not believe that it makes them the foremost experts on the subject. Quite frankly, we can explain ourselves quite well, without any help, and we do not need anyone telling us how to feel or what to believe. Older generations and New Age enthusiasts, most-unintentionally, have establish an inaccurate stereotype that has caused many Indigo Children to become judgmental of their own kind. Now, if an Indigo Child does not display the attributes of this love-light stereotype, they are dismissed from their own communities as if they were not part of the generation at all. Nobody in the world can tell me that this alienation is productive in any way and I believe it needs to stop, now. The Indigo Children have to take back their generation and realize that these judgmental ways must end. Segregation causes the formation of opposing sides and that always leads to conflict. Believe me, the last thing you want to see in the future, is a war between Indigo Children. If that were the case, this Indigo War would end up being the end of life as we know it. As an activist in neutrality, I urge my generation to consider this.

New Alliance for the New Aon

I wrote this article because many do not remember the events that tore us apart so many years ago; the Great Division that became more commonly known as “Good and Evil.“ I believe that it is important to understand that both light and darkness are born from the same source. Just as the moon has two halves, so the moon is also whole. It is only through our individual perception that we conceive possible differences. These small misunderstandings have caused worlds of conflict and unnecessary alienation. As we speed into the coming era, I believe we have another chance at mending the pains of our past and learning how to finally set aside our differences. Many may think this task is impossible but impossibility is merely a state of mind. A chance to understand others is always worth the time.

In this modern age of mental terrorism and psychic tyranny, the element of life itself has been suppressed by an unseen accumulation of unconscious fears. In the wake of this terrible confusion, thousands have become spiritually catatonic, wandering aimlessly like drones lost in this twisted machine of conformity. It begins at birth with enculturation, one generation (sometimes unknowingly) passes their beliefs to the next and continues to promote the progression of old-world ideology. Some call it tradition. I call it manipulation. These beliefs were shaped by the most baleful of all manifestations; fear. In an attempt to conceal the chronicles of prehistory, modern authorities (who answer only to their own fears) prey on the intense emotions of our traumatic past as a prelude to their never-ending era of self-denial and delusion. Each time we speak these lies to the generation that follows, we spread this mechanism of fear and feed the machine of conformity, in a subconscious hope that they will become the perfect beings. I hate to shatter the illusion but nothing is, was nor shall be perfect.

It has been thousands of years since our old alliance collapsed for reasons that we may never know. Many point their fingers in bitter accusation, quick to judge each other for the unfortunate circumstances that followed this unforeseen deterioration. However, I do not believe that this scar can be healed by picking the wounds and nor do I think that it holds significant relevance to the world in which we live presently. “Who cast the first stone,” if any were cast to begin with, should not be as important as “How can we mend this ongoing battle?” Was not our original purpose to ensure the survival of this world and all of its life forms? Why should we let something so trivial as our differences stand in the way? Instead of rationale, we compete for authority as to avoid an unexpected repeat of history, out of sheer fear. We have become intolerant and closed-minded to each other, denouncing our sacred traditions has vile and corruptive. Some of us have endured the complete demonization of our culture and are cast out of modern civilization for our unique differences. Sometimes we are even attacked for expressing ourselves in the most honest means that we can. I believe that, together, we can overcome these differences. We cannot transcend our past unless we confront it and the time has come to do so.

Furthermore, there exists forces beyond this world whose intentions are to exterminate all forms of life. Yet we sit here quarreling with each other about who should govern, what rules we should follow and how we should think. I can assure you, any battle that may occur in our near or distant future cannot be won while this conflict rages on. It is one of the most basic principles of warfare; divide and conquer. This clandestine war that has continued well into our modern age demonstrates our disunity. Yet, we both stand for the same things. Do we not both stand against intolerance and meaningless hate? Do we not both wish to address injustice and put to rest these ethnocentric agendas? Do we not both wish to liberate ourselves from mindless dogma and promote the utmost freedom of individuality? We both know that there are no greater tyrants than those who would oppress the beliefs of others’ and replace them with their own.

I propose that we resurrect our old alliance and come together once again; light and darkness without hate or indifference. A reunification of alignment and species, in one united effort to (once again) ensure the survival of life as we know it. I do not have all the answers and I do not propose this as a fail-proof solution to the many problems that we will face in the future. I present this as an honest suggestion that I (and others like me) are willing to work with individuals outside of our own alignment to establish peace in our age. Every civilization grows tired of war and we have all seen enough to last us well into ages to come. Please, tell me what you think.
