From the prior post:
I think humans are guided (beknownst to them or not) by other intelligences, and some of these are not aligned with the best interest of humanity. Surrounding the human species with alternating current and de-incentivizing development of other types of energy systems is a good way to contain and control spiritual development and evolution.
Have you encountered the phrase “genius of the location” or “genius of the planet” or “planetary intelligence”?
These refer to the old idea that more evolved spiritual beings managed locations and planets. But I want to note the use of the word genius.
I grew up with a father whom everyone referred to as a genius. From childhood, people heard my name and asked me if I was related to him. He’s a good man, with a good heart, and good objectives.
But it meant I got to see a glimpse of this thing called genius - and this is what I think it really means:
Genius: a person who is more available to the promptings of other intelligences.
Now, they might be “more available” because their brain is constructed in such a facile and useful way that they are better vehicles for inspiration. Inspiration by other beings.
Or, correlation not being causation, they might have some other quality (say, karma) that makes other intelligences interested in working through them.
There is, without a doubt, an aspect of human genius that is about making oneself available to the ideas as they flow through space and time.
I’ve grown to picture it like this: the genius is someone who always has a very loud little being - angel or demon - sitting on their shoulder and whispering in their ear. But the point is - that inspiration is very loud.
Back to electricity and tech trajectories:
Once the grid was installed, and the archetypal form of the computer and internet started hovering on the horizon, human geniuses began receiving ideas. The idea comes with multiple temptations: this idea will make you rich. this idea will make people recognize you as a genius. this idea will change the world, and you will be responsible.
Ideas that stroke the ego, obviously. And if a person - a genius - chooses to transact with these ideas, often they get to be rich, recognized, and responsible. The big questions - such as “is surrounding the human being by electric current and social media a good thing?” become dimmer and quieter.
There don’t seem to be any good angels whispering in human ears about energy alternatives right now. Or, they are drowned out by the other voices.
What about the individual human being?
Do I actually think most of our human brilliance is channeled or brought about through inspiration? What is the individual?
Most of us can’t even tell which thoughts are our own and which are someone else’s.
