The solution to Humanity's troubles and triumphs was always going to be spiritual instead of political. We'd need some Big Event to affect world change and create a new paradigm shift. Something to go 24/7 on all the news channels for weeks and months with continuous updates, so it never goes out of the news. It becomes the focal point of discussion on the new spiritual paradigm. Crop circles could become that focal point, something of a paradigm shifter.

However, the crop circle phenomena confronts and challenges the religious aspects of the dominant paradigm. There are powerful organizations working overtime to discredit these crop circles and the new paradigm. I won't pretend to know them all, but I might know their common link, Evangelical Christianity.

The corporate media suppresses most crop circle information, pro or con, or even their existence. The media doesn't want a discussion about crop circles, period. An initial inspection would create far too many questions and statements of fact. Any discussion is to be avoided. I believe it comes from a great fear of offending the Christian beliefs of many Americans and supposedly endangering their immortal Souls. The Evangelical Christians are very powerful in the world of American politics and media; too powerful, in my opinion. Because of that, the United States has the most corrupt Federal government agencies in a century. Compromised journalism feeds the corporate media and the pope and clergy of the Catholic Church are too political on the question of life and secular politics. Some of the Christian churches, particularly the Protestant, have a right wing political agenda backed by rigid religious dogma. They will never believe crop circles have anything to say. It's hard to get and give accurate info to the masses about the newer crop circles with their opposition. We'll have to get beyond that. They could stop all discussion. There is great Evangelical Christian fear of crop circles or any phenomena that threatens their point of view, reference points or the validity of their words. Is it "the Devil's Work"? "Man is made in the image of God" or "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me" might be put to the test if there are aliens who don't look like us but still believe in their God; or is it our God? Maybe their God is a verb (to love) like mine. It's hard to tell what gets worshipped on the altar of Christian fantasies.

The same American media that lies and distorts political reality does the same thing to spiritual literacy, crop circles and alternative viewpoints. When you see that media censor political opinions and actions that are out of the mainstream, imagine what is done when it is paranormal science, communication and crop circles that are out of the 'Dominant Paradigm'. The Crop Circle. Ridicule, then silence. Again, there could've been a conversation.

We are lied to about the basic existence of crop circles by people who are paid large amounts of money to misinform and distort what is a visual, well-researched and archived crop circle phenomena documented by a group of smart, dedicated people. It is hard to put down crop circles when proof of their existence is staring you right in the face. Science needs to be redefined. There are a dozen good books and a half dozen great DVDs on crop circles out there, yet many believe all crop circles are human fakery. No explanations for those folks. Nothing in the past explains anything new to them.

"We're in an all-out moral and spiritual civil war for the soul of America, and the record of American history is right at the heart of it." Rev. Peter Marshall, fundamentalist Christian fanatic, conservative reviewer of Texas school curriculum and rewriter of American history, giving reason to change the current schoolbooks and add more biblical references. June, 2009.

How do fundamentalist Christians view crop circles? Their religion teaches that humans are here for 75 years, or so. They must apologize to their God for all of the actions and misdeeds they think they shouldn't have done in those years. Then, they die and go to some sort of cloudy leisure club serenaded by stringed instruments while sitting on plush pillows with God throughout eternity. They believe there is only one life. It's Heaven or Hell forever with only one chance, so, man, you'd better choose correctly. Wow. This exceptionalism to all of creation tells of a mindset in everyday life in American culture too. It's an idea of entitlement made strictly on our perceptions through propaganda and religion. Americans feel they are entitled to disproportionate wealth and energy use by virtue of their religion and their birthright as American. Some believe Christianity is the dominant, and only, viewpoint on our soul and what happens to our soul. They think they are special; their god looks just like them. They are unique in every way and their worldview is the only view. They believe that Christianity and Capitalism are always joined in life against the evil Socialism. They think everyone who doesn't acknowledge their Christian God doesn't believe in any God. They are wrong on many other things too.

We should get all the real experts, shamans and uncompromised scientists together to study and analyze this phenomena. It could be a new paradigm. This is new energy and we haven't seen its like before. These crop circles are high art, an obvious intelligence and more than a little magical.

There could've been a conversation and the universe is still waiting.
