We supposedly just left what is often called the Kali Yuga, or Dark Age. Is this a time of awakening? Or is it a time for us human beings to go extinct? Which way do we want it? Is is worth it to us to dump approximately 2 to 5,000 years of conditioning in order to create a sane world? It is in our best interest to question and change.That change needs to be massive which includes our pyramid schemes of topdown rule.

::::::::

The Kali Yuga refers to the Dark Age that we should be exiting out of. The term Kali means black and is often used as the Unmanifest component of the Godhead, which is Genesis 1:2 of the Bible. Yet, when speaking to the Kali Yuga, we are not speaking to this condition that precedes the reader's reading and the writer's writing. We are instead speaking to an epoch of time: A dark age.

It is from this point of Genesis 1:2 that all events emerge. Genesis 1:2 does not exist in the past. It is eternally now. Genesis 1:2 is where we need to go if we are to change the world.

Physicist David Bohm and neurologist Karl Pribram independently hypothesized via their work that the universe and brain are holographic, meaning the part contains the all. Thus, your atoms float about in the empty space of your body in the same ratio as intergalactic space existing to the stars and planets.

Bohm, in turn spoke to an Unmanifest Implicate Order that stands as the foundations for what he refers to as the Manifest Explicit Order. The latter order is simply my writing and your reading. The former order is the full content of potentials arising before we are locked into an experience.

How I interpret the work we share and how you interpret it may be different. Those differences are potentials in a sea of possibilities that truly don't end. Indeed, someone may come across this article 6,000 years from now and create a story about who we are or were. That story will be his or her story and not necessarily how we saw it!

Ah, the Never Ending Story is forever changing!

The Virgin Birth of Christ, the Light of the World, is a direct mirror of Genesis 1. The Virgin Birth is simply a reframing of Genesis 1:2. Thus, Marie means Ocean. Her being identified as a virgin entails Her being unconditioned or deconditioned. The Light that radiates from the Dark is simply the Christ. He is the manifestation of the Godhead who in Greco-Roman Judiasm is beyond conditioning and therefore evolutionary.

Being in a virgin state is to let go of all conditioning. Everything they taught you in kindergarten at this point is moved beyond and perhaps even identified as a lie. In the Tao Te Ching, this virgin state is referred to when Lao Tzu states, "be newborn, be free of yourself."

This means let go of the conditioning that you are under that is now 5 to 10,000 years old. We call this conditioning western civilization.

Interestingly, physicist David Bohm identified a place he refers to as the Unmanifest Implicate Order. By Unmanifest, Bohm means an event is in potential and has not yet manifested. Thus the term implicate implies implied. What you were 5 minutes ago had become Manifest and now that memory is stored back in the Unmanifest. My words just now may have been seminal to the re-unfolding of that memory. Yes, that memory exists in the same state of an egg. It is a potential. Its seminal input exist as these words that may have sparked a conception within you.

This universe is indeed a manifestation of the dance of Yin and Yang or Female and Male. We live in a beautiful ice dance of parting and coming together at which point we twirl mindlessly in the ecstasy of sexual union.

What is in the Manifest is always retrievable both as a brand new spanking reality, but also what was in the past. Yes, in theory we could have dinosaurs coming back for they, though extinct, continue to be a potential in the future.

Related to Genesis 1:2, the Native American Kogis describe Aluna as the "Darkly Sea Goddess (Marie in Christian myth). They also refer to Her as the beginning (Mother) and end (Fate) of all things. This is why the feminine genitalia is a "0" where as a man's are a "1". The "1" is the initiation of creation and is mirrored in a man's semen and sperm that entices the egg to divide into multiple cells and which have become both reader and writer.

"1" is the arising of Eros and Logos in the line, "Let there be Light." You live this line every morning that you arise from deep sleep and into the awakened state. Light, be it in dream or opening your eyes, is manifestation. Let there be this moment! Marie (Roman) is Tehom (Hebrew) and these are Genesis 1:2 as well as the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.

If you were to research creation stories, you will find similar themes to creation, or should I say Creativity!

We are grounded in what appears to be non-existent YET non-existence contains all potentials for the future. Our futures, past and present are infinite.

This is truly the Good News! The possibilities are endless and not so much about walking the straight and narrow. Indeed, the straight and narrow may keep us from going deeper into ourselves while stifling deep changes that could emerge from within us. Perhaps we need more chaos and broadness at this time than straight and narrow? What is straight and narrow if not the suppression of creativity.

Quick question: Why do we stifle deep change? What are we scared of?

As the Virgin Birth story entails (alongside the crucifixion) it is only by letting go (i.e., being virgin or without conditioning) that evolution occurs. Or, as they say in West Virginia: "you need to sh*t for the flowers to grow."

I do want to mention that I identify two different stories of the crucifixion. One is that a scapegoat like Christ dies for our sins. This results in our paying homage to that scapegoat by forwarding money (an illusion at best) to a church, guru, preacher or priest. It is by that man's torturous deaths that we are saved and allowed into Heaven.

Thus it is said that Christ died for our sins. In mythic terms, He is a sacrifice and dies so we don't have to.

Is this what the Man actually said? Apparently not:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24

That's in the Book. It does not say, "don't you worry your pretty little head. I will die for you!" Rather, Christ says, "Pick up the cross and follow me!"

To this I would add that suffering a death is a labor pain marking a future evolution. As the exercise people often say, "no pain, no gain." Christ is NOT the scapegoat for your salvation into an ideal (from the word idea meaning thought). If you wish to go through the labor pains of evolution, then, by all means do so. But, stop pointing the finger to someone else like Christ. He is what you need to become! He is not a fairy God Mother twirling a baton. He is instead here to challenge you to "take up the cross and follow me!"

The pain of labor and the need to die to what we are in order to live a more fulfilling life grounded in love necessitates the death of what we are now.

In other words, we have some serious work to do. This is our labor: To give birth to an evolutionary being from within ourselves. This is not an easy task, especially if we are attached to what we think we are. Yet, its what we think that we need to discard. As long as we remain in the old belief systems, then the longer we stay stuck and at the mercy of the Corporation.

This virgin birth is bottom up not top down. (Here I'm not making a pun on childbirth from a woman's body/bottom). There is no Master up in the sky dictating anything. Rather, you have to let go of everything you've been taught. In becoming virgin, you die. "And in that death," states Meister Eckhart, "all things were born and if it had not been, then God hasn't been either."

Again, to be Virgin is to be nothing and to be nothing is to embrace all! (Words are to no avail here. To be virgin is to be deconditioned and without a thought. Therefore to describe it with thought is like trying to identify a horse by pulling on its leg.)

Eckhart furthermore reinforces this when he states that being Virgin is being in the same state as when you were not.

Is there evidence for this? Plenty. It's just that even in reports people will "poo-poo" the evidence. So, the best way to get knowledge of this transformation is to become virgin yourself and see what comes forth. The challenge in this is your letting go to several thousands of years of conditioning.

In other words, don't expect to hear Gabriel tell you that you are with child right off the bat (this may be a really hard message for men, so it may take more time with us than the ladies).

Another challenge is that once you start questioning several thousand years of conditioning, you are going to anger some people who will want to nail you on a cross of their own making. Both you and that Son shining through you must die according to the current powers that be.

So, I do wonder about my original quest to the writing. That question is: does Jesus give a "thumbs up" support of Rob Kall's "Bottom Up Philosophy!"

Ah, Ha! He says: "the high shall be made low and the low high." Top-Down is making way for Bottom-Up! It's been prophesized how many thousands of years ago? Rob is right on track with prophecy!

So where do we start?

The two basics are:

1. Love thy neighbor as Thyself. Neighbor in my opinion needs to be all creatures, ecosystems, as well as human beings. How you built yourself through the powers of what I call Sophia (literally Wisdom) while en utero is the same process of interconnectedness that Gaia went through in developing the planet. One of the Hindu Upanishads speaks to this beautifully:

It is above, it is below

It is, in fact, this entire world

When one knows this, one knows bliss in the Self

And in all worlds are free.

2. Judge not lest ye be judged. Point the finger at this screen and tell me I'm a jerk o Look at your hand. 3 fingers are now pointed back at yourself.

How do we get beyond the likes of the Koch Brothers. The easiest answer (and no answer is easy) is to make the Koch Brothers powerless. How? It is by not supporting their work while changing our lifestyles. In behavioral terms, we are extinguishing the Koch Brothers behavior while reinforcing the readers' power!

Some of the more concrete actions and answers to this are:

1. Identify and support non-corporate businesses. Lets put WalMart out of business. Let us be the ones we've been waiting for. Oh, yes, they do provide employment. How about minimum wage with little to no benefits? Indeed, WalMart once boasted that their salary and benefits makes it easy for employees to get state assistance! And, so, what do the republicans do? They chop away at the benefits. It feels like a loose/loose situation to me. So, lets stop supporting this nonsense!

2. Identify ways to grow some of your own food while also perhaps finding people who make clothes that are not manufactured by global corporations. If you can, sew your own as much as possible. Or, even, get a couple of people to work on various projects, like clothing, in order to stop supporting the likes of Wal-Mart.

3. Foster groups that will help you to become less dependent on corporations. Permaculture Gardening (http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/the-essence-of- permaculture-gardening.htm), and Transition Towns (http://transitionus.org) are great places to begin researching options.

4. Research and consider alternative economies. For example:

a. Time Banks: timebanks.org

b. Local Currencies such as the Ithaca Dollar

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Hours

(Ithaca Dollars is apparently not working well anymore. Does not mean you don't research it and perhaps use a similar model.

These are not meant to be exclusive. What I want to encourage the reader to do is begin looking at ways to become less dependent on the corporate structure. Imagination at this point in the game is desperately needed. In other words, be creative and don't look at people like myself to lead you on.

YOU / WE are the power we've all been looking for.

Or as one Buddhist says: "if you see the Buddha by the highway, kill him!" Why on Earth would anyone say something like this towards a "God-Figure?" Easy, to see the Buddha on the highway is to gaze at an illusion. The Buddha is not "out there." Instead, the Buddha is what is looking. The seer needs a mirror to see his/her self. This is why Mother minus the "M" becomes "other."

What we need at this juncture in history is a movement away from top-down rule. Its not that top-down isn't necessary at times. If your child is ready to run off a cliff, you don't want to take a bottom-up approach. You want to grab that kid and allow her or him to know you are scared and angry. Yes, you want that child to know fear regarding jumping off cliffs.

Yet, there is a larger portion of that relationship that can be bottom up. For example, simply talking to your child about growing her own food could spark a lifetime of activity for the child that allows for healthy eating while neglecting the likes of Starbucks and McDonalds.

Also, with kids, they are always following in your footsteps. I know, I know the teenage girl eye rolls get my goat too. Hey, she's a kid. What footsteps would you like to model for her? What kind of world would you like to see for her? She might get "huffy" with you, but she is watching.

This is the question I leave you with. It is for her sake that we need to deeply question the likes of corporate domination and the apparent movement of the United States into a Fascist regime. Her future and well-being is all of our responsibilities.

Or do we sigh and say, "not my problem, honey!"

Oh, how many people in Fascist Germany in the 1930's and 40's said that about the Nazis', "its not my problem!" How many Jews were tortured and died during that time? How many people are currently dying in our wars?

"How many times does a man turn his head, and pretend he just doesn't see." Bob Dylan wrote in the 60's song called "Blowing in the Wind."

How many times indeed? This is the question we now need to answer. Isn't it time to say "no more!?" Or as Dylan wrote, "Well, I ain't going to work on Maggie's Farm no more." That farm is none other than a Koch Brothers Farm. And, yes, it is time we said "no more!"

Who has the answer to the Koch Brothers?

You do.
