Milk teeth
Can we change in time to prevent technology from neutering the future?
3rd November 2011
The great white magician Rudolf Steiner taught that children are simply
not equipped to learn before the loss of their milk teeth (also called
baby teeth) at what used to be around age 7, but which now is around age
5. Steiner, founder of the sciences of anthroposophy and biodynamic
farming, wrote in 1906:
At about the seventh year the human being is actually born a second
time; that is to say, his etheric body is born to free activity just as
his physical body is at the moment of physical birth.
Steiner compared the liberation of etheric body signified by the loss of
the milk teeth to the lighting of a match. http://anthromama.wordpress.com...
Proponents of the Waldorf education system he founded divide a child's development
to age 21 into three 7-year sections: imitation, imagination, and
judgment, having determined that before age 7, certain things simply
cannot be learned by children. http://www.whywaldorfworks.org/...
It all makes me think about this human species as a whole that has, all
the time of its existence, refused to grow up.
In keeping with the time honored wisdom of pagan philosopher Hermes
Trismegistus � 'As above, so below' � and using a kind of fractal
psychoanalysis, I think this principle of everything occurring in its
proper time, when beings are ready to cope with whatever the next great
expansion of consciousness turns out to be, is happening now to the
entire human race.
Like a baby chick battling its way out a shell, humans are demolishing
old canards, seeing myths for what they really are, and consigning to
the scrapheap of history all forms of propaganda masquerading as truth.
Needless to say this battle is not actually being won. For most people,
the desire not to deviate too far from the herd prevents them from
telling the truth they really feel inside. After all, what would the
neighbors think?
Which segues nicely to a recent and vivid dream I had I shall never
forget. I call it 'Jesus at the turnstiles'. It went like this.
Jesus was standing at the turnstiles, arms outstretched, beseeching a
churlish throng hurrying to pass through to the other side. The place
looked an awful lot like the Hoboken path train station at rush hour.
Even the throbbing red heart was visible through his shirt, and his halo
beamed heavenly rays in all directions. "Wait!" he cried. "Take note of
your eternal soul!"
But nobody paid attention, and all that could be heard was the rush of
the crowd and the clattering of turnstiles. Finally, one person, who
happened to be a nice Jewish man from the Bronx, stopped and clued him in.
"What do we need with a soul if we have the technology to live forever?"
he explained to Jesus. "We're all going to see Ray Kurzweil and get new
bodies, transmute our intelligence into them, and live forever." Then,
swept away by the madding crowd, he yelled back. "I really need a new
elbow. All those ledger entries . . ."
Ray Kurzweil, you may remember, is the artificial intelligence guru who
predicts all naturally occurring human attributes will be replaced by
mechanisms created by AI by 2045. www.kurzweilai.net Scarier
than that is his notion of "utility fog", when everything that is
touched by intelligent nanoparticles will suddenly animate themselves.
This is Kurzweil's version of God, and he's creating it, planning to
spread it throughout the universe.
Or I should say, he has already created it and it is only a matter of
time � and not much of it � when his vision is likely to come true. This
is truly a genie that once out of the bottle cannot be put back. And
apparently, it's out. It makes all these arguments about politics and
religion seem trivial.
Kurzweil is the author of a bevy of fascinating books, among them,
"Fantastic Voyage: Long Enough to Live Forever."
It is the ultimate human dream. If offered to anyone, Jesus never has a
chance. But if this really becomes (or really already is) reality, will
humanity ignore its previously important need for a soul? (No, I will
not digress into this is the same way Jesus got his power in the first
place.)
Certain other questions can be asked at this crossroads, such as, would
our apparent need to have a conscience no longer be relevant? Why DO we
try to do good? So we will be rewarded after we die? Then, what if we
don't die?
And then comes the bitterest pill to swallow. The safety net we thought
we had has suddenly vaporized.
The myths by which we attempt to answer these questions are not only
known to be false copies of earlier religions, they have been demolished
as fantastic fabrications by all manner of scientific disciplines,
notably by archeology and the discovery on this planet of earlier
civilizations about which we have next to no knowledge.
One only need turn to Dr. Ashraf Ezzat's "Egyptian Torah" to realize
that the main principles of both Christianity and Judaism were stolen
lock, stock and barrel from the ancient religion of the Pharaohs,
rendering the so-called "divinity" of all these saviors and saints just
so much propagandistic palaver in the battle for the human mind.

Ezzat writes:
In a book of instructions, Amenemhat, an Egyptian
king, advised his son, Sesostris , to attain
the highest qualities, because upon his death he will see his whole
lifetime in a single instant and his performance on earth will be
reviewed and evaluated, by the judges. In recent years, numerous books
addressed the near-death experiences of many people. In this phenomenon,
it is reported that seeing the person�s whole life span in an instant,
is a recurrent theme for all persons with near-death experiences. Death
is not the end, but rather it is a transitional state. Such an
experience matches exactly the Egyptians� belief of the afterlife
process, which starts with the Day of Judgment where the life of the
person is evaluated.
Judgment day

This detail scene, from the Papyrus of Hunefer (ca. 1375 B.C.), shows
Hunefer's heart being weighed on the scale of Maat against the feather
of truth, by the jackal-headed Anubis. The Ibis-headed Thoth, scribe of
the gods, records the result. If his heart is lighter than the feather,
Hunefer is allowed to pass into the afterlife. If not, he is eaten by
the waiting chimeric devouring creature Ammut composed of the deadly
crocodile, lion, and hippopotamus.
Ancient Egyptians were the first to believe in a day of judgment.
According to the recorded rituals, the spirit of the deceased denied
committing each sin/fault before its assigned judge, by reciting the
forty-two negative confessions (analogous to the famed Ten Commandments).
A lot of historians and Egyptologists believe that the Ten Commandments were transcribed by the Israelites from These Egyptian
negative confessions which come from The Book of the Coming Forth by Day
(commonly and mistakenly known as The Book of the Dead.)
In the judgment of the dead the heart, as a metaphor for conscience,
is weighed against the feather of truth, to determine the fate of the
deceased.
So what does this mean to all those billions of people who accepted the
Christian gods and lived their lives according to those precepts. To the
dead, it means nothing. To the living, it means they have been deceived,
not by the practice of absolution and forgiveness, but by the false
names and stories. Who would trust their eternal soul to a known liar?
Only someone who has been brainwashed.
And this is what is falling away. Papal infallibility and the Jewish
twisting of history, which began when the Hebrews, then known as Hyksos,
brought plagues and misery to an innocent people known as Egyptians �
just as they are doing today, using their zombie proxies in the U.S.
military to exploit and kill less-advantaged peoples. We've had three
thousand years of this shit. That's enough.
But what remains beyond all of this, beyond all the insane excuses for
government secrecy that looks for all the world exactly like the secrets
the holy men keep about the god nobody has ever � ever � really seen in
the flesh, except in self-inflicted delusions?
Is the future a choice between Jesus Christ and Ray Kurzweil?
Or are both wrong about the desire to live forever?
It has long been my contention, which I have expressed repeatedly over
the years, that no living thing in the universe lives forever. Stars may
live for billions of years beyond our comprehension, but not forever.
Therefore, aspiring to eternal life is chasing something that does not
exist, which I believe guarantees unavoidable corruption for trying to
enforce both a lie and an impossibility. I believe this to be the cause
of the possibly imminent destruction of the human species. I just didn't
think it would come in the form of mainstream science.
The only thing I know about forever is that without it, the possibility
of love does not exist. Death is forever; life is only for a little while.
You get to pick. Eternal life without love, or this mess we're in now.
And if you're one of those cold-hearted rationalists who think they can
live without love, you might consider that those who decided to live
without love created this mess we're in now.
Like the dropping of the milk teeth, the time is right for humanity to
discard all these delusional psychoses and start building a healthier
world. The grains of divinity within us which perceive that all life is
tasked with helping whomever and whatever they can are infinitely
preferable to Jewish nanomonsters invading the universe with their idea
of exploitable enlightenment. Even so, that is the future we face, and
it's too late to stop it.
