Welcome to Alex’s wonderland! You are staring at the edge of the rabbit hole; the brink of an entirely altered state of consciousness and new perception of this crazy chemical concoction we call “reality.” Care to take the plunge? I’m cordially extending the same offer given to Neo. Will it be the Red pill or the Blue pill? If you choose Blue (obliviousness), stop reading and exit my profile now. If you choose Red (truth) and are ready to both find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes and accept the implications, sit down, buckle up, hold on tight, and read on. Please give full consideration to the saying, “ignorance is bliss”. Once the following is read there is no going back. You can’t un-know it.
Before I begin I must state a few things. First and foremost, I know only one thing, and that is that I know nothing. I accept the potential (perhaps probable) possibility that everything I believe could be the result of past hallucinogenic over indulgence; a mere acid flashback. Secondly, I’m at least a mildly neurotic magician with a somewhat twisted sense of humor and fairly extensive understanding of psycholinguistics. That stated, everything I say could either be a joke, or an attempt at the biggest verbal illusion in history. Lastly, I have only two intentions with any of this. Primarily, ALL IS INTENDED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY! Aside from that my only hope is to provoke thought. I want people to question all assumptions at every level of existence. I concur with Bertrand Russell. He said, “I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.” With the disclaimer out of the way we are ready to begin, but first a quick word from our sponsors.
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything simply on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
-Siddhartha Gautama, The Buddha
There is no way to be subtle about any of my claims, so I’ll save us all time and opt for utter bluntness. To say it as the Blues Brothers did, “I’m on a mission… a mission from God.” I believe I was put on this earth to be of service to humanity. I was divinely appointed prior to incarnation to deliver a message of critical importance. I have but one single objective. My only task is to let every inhabitant of the planet Earth know that this message exists, and what the intention of the message is. I’m not required to get anyone to accept or even read the message. They just have to know it’s there, and what it’s for; what they do with it is irrelevant to my purpose.
I could explain my role as the deliverer of the message in my own words but it’s much easier to relay it exactly as it was given to me. I initially saw my role in the unfolding in a series of visions (or revelations), while in a deep meditative trance state. It was later articulated in plain black and white in a Tarot reading. It said verbatim, “Through you, gifts are carried forward from the past. Prove yourself worthy of this legacy. When the Ten of Coins comes up in this position (Higher Power), it indicates that you took this incarnation to be a link in a chain of souls that will embody achievement on a scale that could impact future generations. Such people provide the yeast that raises everyone’s quality of life. You must see to it that you remain worthy of this good fortune. Ask yourself how you can best use this unique position you are in. Look to your larger goals now because you have the connections, the funding and the clout to bring them into manifestation.”
The best way to explain the reasoning for the message is to do just what the reading said, “Through you, gifts are carried forward from the past.” From the late and great Dr. Carl Sagan, "We are a star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. …And our small planet at this moment, here we face a critical branch point in history. What we do with our world right now will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants. It is well within our power to destroy our civilization and perhaps our species as well. If we capitulate to superstition, or greed, or stupidity we can plunge our world into a darkness deeper than a time between the collapse of classical civilization and the Italian renaissance. But we are also capable of using our compassion and our intelligence, our technology and our wealth to make an abundant and meaningful life for every inhabitant of this planet; to enhance enormously our understanding of the universe and to carry us to the stars."
Again, the best way to explain the intention of the message is to quote another of our ancestral, prodigal geniuses. Einstein said, "We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest; a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive." In essence what I am delivering is a philosophical outlook; an alternate perception of reality. This new perception is the “liberation of the self” and “substantially new manner of thinking” Einstein referred to. It redefines, therefore altering the function of the ego.
In conclusion I’ll offer more supporting evidence for the reasoning of this message. Einstein said technology in his generation “was like a razor blade in the hands of a three year old.” We are currently experiencing what’s called “cultural lag.” This quite simply means our technological advancement has progressed faster than the wisdom necessary for safe and proper application. With just the technology we have today it’s possible for all of humanity to function at a universally beneficial level of symbiotic efficiency that’s nearly incomprehensible to most. The only thing preventing that is petty ego-driven division (on an individual and national level AKA patriotism), and a combination of selfishness and rampant materialism/consumerism. We are rapidly approaching a level of technological advancement that’s so powerful AND volatile that a single person with ill will could cause mass extinction. If humanity doesn’t IMMEDIATELY unify and address this issue with drastic measures, we will literally destroy ourselves.
If you have read this you are officially informed of the existence and purpose of this supposed “divine message”. According to visions, how you respond to this information will be “spiritually accounted for”. In the delusions I lovingly refer to as visions this is one aspect that will be accounted for in the Bible’s notoriously famed Judgment at the end of time. Then again, I could just be crazy. The question is… What will you do with this information? The ball is in your court. How will you respond? I know I’m curious.
"The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the source of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
