Yes, on the one hand, sure, 'tings is still just like dey ever was Charlie...'
Last night, there was a live performance at the ASeven Club in Berlin - except there was this 'social distancing and no dancing' rule! LOL
This was well before the pandemic - last night they were all sitting down at tables!! Being still, not moving... lol |
It was quite funny, watching maybe thirty/forty Germans, average age would have to be sixty-five at least, all sitting stock still in their chairs, with heavy-duty EDM Techno-Trance hitting them from the front stage. ...At least they had women coming around serving them Stella Artois, was the word on the actual brand.
I couldn't believe that the audience was so well, old, frankly... Later on, after the show, when the main white lights came back on, you could see the males were pretty beefy guys all the same and probably more than half the audience were women; mixed ages, although the men did certainly appear to be much older on the whole.
The livestream chat bar with people from all across the world were of course making the standard jokes about Germans!
...And then on the other hand.
This place, but with about forty people. |
If you look up something like 'moral theology/moral philosophy' on the internet, you will be given hundreds of answers linking to the same basic commentaries - and all of them will quickly shift into 'ethics' and ideas about what is 'right' and/or 'wrong.'
Even the usually austerely comprehensive and detailed books of philosophical investigations into complex metaphysics and material reality, such as the Vedanta texts, all stop at this point and take a sideways turn into 'ethics' and not moral philosophy as such.
If a very very advanced, futuristic-to-us, kind of sentient intelligence finds us here, locates us, chooses to interact with us, it will of necessity of its own survival and existence past the technological ability to destroy itself, have a set of absolute moral values...
Oh this is a very suspicious symbol, as you all know. |
I believe I have said before that we live in the context of a society of moral relativism. Power status determines how people behave towards other people. The capacity to take retribution as and when, has always attended the rise to temporary power of any group or individual on this planet. When the Chinese Communists took power and control from the vestiges of feudal China, it was theoretically on behalf of the rights of common folk. Now that the CCP has absolute power inside Mainland China and has also reached some kind of technical proficiency in keeping with what the common assumptions about 'modern' civilization are, they are doing exactly the same thing that those they decried and overthrew had been doing all along against the ordinary public.
But I want to take you to another place, another whole mindset.
And this will be very far away from anything you are used to. You will ask yourself at some point, okay well but maybe we can go back and help others along, help them forward. But no, you cannot do this. You won't be allowed to do it.
People must either 'get there' themselves, or they cannot get in there.
Scary what the sign says, right? |
If you had, literally, a material machine, a device of some kind, suddenly appear right in front of you, is this going to end up being the reason for you to contemplate a radically different moral mindset...?
There are such devices. You can say they employ properties of the Bose-Einstein condensate, and are able to exploit hitherto unknown in our history, aspects of time-space. Which means they are just advances and developments of ordinary Evolution elsewhere in the Universe that different civilizations have devised out of basic 'science' and technology.
Still though, necessarily, such civilizations will have gone through some conceptual watershed to do with moral philosophy, if not moral theology.
So what then, I am talking about, when I say 'moral?' Or 'moral philosophy?'
Rustenburg South Africa, Bill. You'd want a face mask there! |
I mean is there some accurate understanding of what is 'Good' and what is 'Evil?'
The Vedic texts - the Ramayana and the Rigveda - implicitly state that the kinds of craft that can traverse the time and spatial distances of the entire Universe are horrendously expensive to make and to use... ...so much so that they are literally in the hands of the 'accountant of the gods' (IE 'Kubera'). So it's not so simple, if you go by these ideas, to just have 'ET aliens' suddenly turn up and take you and me away somewhere for no deep purpose whatsoever. The word that is used in the Sanskrit, interestingly, itself literally means to be able to measure out, and to traverse across everything (including the whole Universe, vast or indeed unending as it is).
Little, white, thingy... |
Again interestingly, the Ashoka Edict record, specifies some connection between high frequency sound and the ability of these craft to do what they apparently do - if you go according to the Sanskrit Vedas.
The way to find, to locate, any of this as a reality, something you can see, feel, touch, experience - is to come away from everything that everyone else is doing and thinking. No doubt, if you go into a huge crowd of people, all visually nondescript for the moments they are all together, it's impossible to say who else (what else) is right in there with you, and even if you witness something, let's just say, 'different,' you will never be able to explain it convincingly enough to others who did not have that experience alongside you.
If you were in Beijing last week and you photographed a few peculiar colored lights up in the clouds above, well, these might not have been ET aliens - they could have been guide-star lasers being shot downwards from some man-made platform in Earth orbit. Still, there is doubt of course. LOL Half the time it's the doubt that counts anyway with warfare.
What rich people do, right? LOL |
EDM Trance Music Raves come in two distinct kinds - one, the big venue, often open-air venue with thousands of people, and the other which is 'underground,' secretive, and sometimes even 'illegal.' There are plenty of stupid people who gravitate towards any of this, with the objective of 'doing drugs.' And there are an extremely rare number of intelligent people, who are looking at the deep meaning of 'Good' v. 'Evil.'
Because 'truly advanced' = truly powerful. And you have to behave, and be polite, and watch it, if you ever get even close to that which is truly that powerful. One need not be obsequious - that is not attractive anyway. Cautious, composed, not arrogant, and open to what you will be told.
The world is a different place today. Observe just how it is (laser harp):
