Talking to the Gods 04 July, 2010 Maybe our ancestors really could talk to the gods. I know I've suggested many possibilities about what constitutes a god, but for now lets just take the word at it's most literal: creator and maintainer of life. In other words, the Sun, our star. The matter you and I are made from was forged in stars, and every bit of life energy present on Earth owes it's very existence to the Sun. Many cultures have worshipped it for the things it gives us, light, energy, food and indeed life itself. Human beings have evolved under it over the course of millions and millions of years and our bodies have adapted to eat food that grows using the Sun's rays as food, to see the light that comes from it, and even to use it's photons to create vitamins under our skin. Now stay with me, because I may be one to take leaps more than the average individual, but this is quite the journey I intend to take you on, and there are many things to keep in mind as we travel. Lets depart: It is a commonly held belief that our ancient ancestors were more in tune with nature, whether that is the case or not I do not know, but I can say that if I did not have the overwhelming distractions of modern civilization, I would be paying much closer attention to my senses and what they were telling me about the world around me. So we can essentially assume that our ancestors did indeed have sharper awareness, if not sharper senses. That's not to say they were smarter than us and could explain what they perceived with their heightened perceptions, just that the information their senses were feeding their brains was either more detailed, or they were processing it with more dedication than our distracted minds do today. In fact our subconscious minds today probably take care of a great deal of the 'thinking' that our ancestors had to do consciously in a process we call 'taking things for granted'. Once the way something works is explained we don't have to wonder about it anymore, and our minds don't bother wasting the brainpower. I think if extra-sensory perception is possible (as I believe it to be), not only would it be more apparent to ancient man, but it would also have been better utilized. It is also interesting to apply this concept in the framework of evolution, because it does not only apply to our senses, but our abilities as well, to manipulate things with our hands and bodies. And while all our abilities, including our senses evolved to suit our environment, both to overcome the challenges it faces us with and to fully maximize the potential of the resources and advantages it provides us with. It stands to reason to assume that human beings may have a closer relationship with our sun than initially meets the eye. Sure it helps us see and keeps us warm, but perhaps it exerts other influences that were more apparent to our un-distracted ancestors. Archaeologists and scientists from other fields do a great job at describing a good portion of our ancestors' day to day lives, but what isn't covered in many text-books on the subject, is the fact that there are huge gaps in our current-day knowledge of ancient technologies. There are many aspects of ancient construction and manufacturing processes that elude explanation by even our most prominent scientists. Explanations of the great pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the giant stone heads at Easter island, the gargantuan stone arrangements at Stonehenge in England and others are offered, but do little to defray many mysteries about their construction. A main concern is the work-power necessary to cut, carve, move and stack seemingly immovably large blocks of solid granite, we today use high explosives and gigantic hydraulic machines to do such work. No such machines can be proven to have existed when these monuments were erected. Is it possible that forces and energies harnessed from our sun helped our ancestors achieve such architecturally lofty goals? Perhaps humans of old discovered and employed a set of human abilities long since forgotten about. Abilities or at the very least technologies could have existed which allowed our ancestors to manipulate fields or forces of the earth or the sun to move giant blocks at will. Is it possible that we today still have the same options, maybe some means of focussing or harnessing magnetic or gravitic field energy? We came from the sun and the earth, we evolved in a system with a lot of variables but throughout the ages a few things have remained constant. The sun, moon and earth are locked in a dance that has been danced since long before humans existed. It makes perfect sense to me that since the elements of magnetic and gravitic fields in our environment have stayed pretty much constant, those elements would be incorporated and taken advantage of by the never-ending stream of life improving on itself we call evolution. If this is the case, and the sun is the closest thing to a god we have, then perhaps indeed our ancestors really could talk to the gods. -CH3SH1R3 M4TT Share |
