Aye, welcome 'ere to me wee humble cyber abode... Were I able I'd provide ye with some Scottish Shortbreads and a cup of piping hot Jasmine Green tea, but alas, so far the technology has not yet materialized to accommodate such hospitality, so I beg your forgiveness. Perhaps one day...
This is a place always under renovation, but I hope it might have a feel of a place to be...as that is the intention of this creation... Should Amy's music, "My Immortal" cease as you browse...please engage the music player just below the video to enhance the experience.
I must insert here that I have been told by more than a few that I have a lot of "stuff" posted here. None of it, by the way, is posted here on accident. Everything is here for a purpose used in creating this place to be. There are far more quotes than there are my own words...and every quote was selected for a purpose. There is a common theme in this amalgamation of the wisdom of many others, even if the quotes are from a fictional book or a screenplay...that makes no difference. If you sense the common theme, then I have succeeded... If not, well then...I'll work on it.
My interests are many and varied, but that which I am most interested in is the subject of Consciousness. Having sought the answer to the question, "Why?!," throughout most of this life, it took a lengthy, significant emotional event, pain and trauma...awakening me to realize the true implications of the nature of Consciousness...and this entranced reality.
Among the many interests which I explore, entertain, and ponder are:
Layperson Level Quantum Physics
Alternative and Fringe Theories
Alternative Medicine, Healing and Organics
Ancient History
Religions and Philosophies
Eastern Beliefs
Indigenous Peoples and their Beliefs
Native American Culture
Nonhuman Intervention on Earth
Advanced Beings
The Anunnaki, Igigi and Others
Nibiru
Prophecies and Calendars
Astronomy, Cosmology and Astrology
Gnostic, Coptic, Pagan and Wiccan Beliefs
Fractal Universe Theory
Expanding Earth Theory
Plasma and Electric Universe Theory
Akashic Field
Science Fiction and Fantasy
The Mind and The Brain
Time
Coping with Depression and Anxiety
Reality
Earth Consciousness
Awakening
Myths, Legends, Folklore and Tales

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) Philosopher, from "Jenseits von Gut und Bose (Beyond Good and Evil), Aphorism 146."
The way I ponder Consciousness at this point in nebulous time, is that of the creative force which manifests all matter from Prime Matter in our Fractal, Self-Aware, Self-Organizing, Plasmic, Electric, Expanding Universe...and beyond. I consider it as the Cosmic Mind, or Cosmic Consciousness...a notion arrived at on my own before I learned of other similar thought. In my perspective...all matter...is consciously self-aware, self-organizing, with purpose and intent to cooperate and continue to emerge to higher levels of cognition and self-experience. All experience being fed into the Akashic Field.
Quote:
"...Out of the cradle
onto dry land
here it is
standing:
atoms with consciousness;
matter with curiosity.
Stands at the sea, wondering: I
a universe of atoms
an atom in the universe.
Richard Phillips Feynman (1918 – 1988) Physicist, an excerpt of his poem found within "The Value of Science," address to the National Academy of Sciences (Autumn 1955)
Everything is pure consciousness. Matter can be and is created, planets moons, stars, galaxies and the universe grow...just as we do. We are each a microcosm representation of the whole...without realizing we are each the one mind...in the same fractal image, so to speak.
The more I seek, the more patterns I see, from the infinitesimal up though the known boundaries of this Fractal Universe and suspect this to be just one of an infinite many.
Quote:
"Big whorls have little whorls,
Which feed on their velocity;
And little whorls have lesser whorls,
And so on to viscosity."
Lewis Fry Richardson, (1881 - 1953) Mathematician, Physicist and Psychologist, quote from 1922 about fractal geometry of nature...(Thanks Creatrix!)
Simply put, the pattern I see is this Universe was conceived and birthed creating it's own reality. It would be a fairly consistent notion in relation to the form and function of everything it has created within it’s own environment that being the totality of the Universe itself. But, I realize that anything I might ponder is just the uneducated ramblings of the true Macbethian Idiot...full of sound and fury...signifying...nothing...
Quote:
"A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change, something inside us sleeps, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
from the books and movies of "Dune" written by Frank Herbert, (1920 - 1986) Science Fiction Author
I follow my own intuition and seek with a very open mind as I find skepticism like a religion of denial. It is my responsibility to discern what feels right, what I sense to be the truth from ignorance or disinformation, which is hard in this reality filled with conflicting data. Most of the beliefs I once held have been erased and I am careful in what beliefs I now accept as truths. Everything seems subject to change and so...it seems remaining fluid is a better way to learn for me.
Quote:
"As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
Max Planck (1858-1947), Father of Quantum Theory, As he accepted the Nobel Prize (1919)
This journey along my road is what comprises the Tales of the BrokenSabre...a wonderfully terrible account of past and present. It would be arrogant to claim I am enlightened as I am still trying to figure out what I have yet to deal with in the reality I have, to a point, unwittingly created...an individual reality that just doesn't seem to fit into the common reality. So, it seems...that I must walk this road alone, but get to share the experience of it here...for any who might care to read of this humble journey.

Quote:
"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
Max Planck (1858-1947), Father of Quantum Theory, "The Observer" (January 25th, 1931)
We are currently well into the Holocene Mass Extinction Event, which has many causes, Mankind is just one of them. All the planets and moons are warming due to the increased energy being radiated by the Sun that dramatically impacts climate change. However, it is more than climate change that is being impacted. The increased radiation of the Sun is also driving it’s celestial bodies to grow…to expand…through a process involving Prime Matter. Hence…all the dramatic geological events that are occurring in concert with the climate change. So, the globe is warming, but the global warming concept is based upon flawed data…and tunnel vision. The Earth is expanding beneath our feet.

“…Disturbing the ecological balance is the worst mistake any government can make…I don’t know all the answers in this case; I simply know that disturbing the natural balance is a matter to be approached with fear and trembling---and a very versatile computer…â€
Dialog, spoken by the fictional character, “Star,†in the fantasy novel, “Glory Road,†written by Robert A. Heinlein, first published in 1963.
Quote:
"The thing the ecologically illiterate don't realize about an ecosystem is that it's a system. A system! A system maintains a certain fluid stability that can be destroyed by a misstep in just one niche. A system has order, a flowing from point to point. If something dams the flow, order collapses. The untrained miss the collapse until too late. That's why the highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences."
"Kynes" in "Appendix I: The Ecology of Dune" from the books of "Dune" written by Frank Herbert, (1920 - 1986) Science Fiction Author
The Holocene Mass Extinction Event will occur, is occurring, and at our level of consciousness seems impossible to stop. The entire Earth is changing as she grows...and once this process is complete she will build a entirely new eco-system once more. Some species will survive others not...the ENVIRONMENT will create the new eco-system based upon her needs to fill all the niches. It is the environment that activates and deactivates the genes within the DNA. We have interfered with this process beyond our comprehension and now the Earth must recalibrate the web of life. It is not so much will humans survive, but will they survive Human 3.0 when it arrives.

"Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one."
Thasuka Witko "His-Horse-is-Crazy" otherwise known as Crazy Horse, Oglala Sioux Chief (This statement was taken from Crazy Horse as he sat smoking the Sacred Pipe with Sitting Bull for the last time, four days before he was assassinated.)
Quote:
"Behold, my brothers, the spring has come; the earth has received the embraces of the sun and we shall soon see the results of that love! Every seed has awakened and so has all animal life. It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves, to inhabit this land. Yet hear me, my people, we have now to deal with another race - small and feeble when our fathers first met them, but now great and overbearing.
Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possessions is a disease with them . . . They claim this mother of ours, the earth, for their own, and fence their neighbors away; they deface her with their buildings and their refuse. They threaten to take [the land] away from us. My brothers, shall we submit, or shall we say to them: "First kill me before you take possession of my Fatherland."
"Tatanka Iyotake" Chief Sitting Bull, of the Sioux Nation, Speech at the Powder River Council, 1877.
I have awakened...was awake, but was awakened...or like Frank Herbert wrote, "Father!...The Sleeper has Awakened!" And when I woke...I went blissfully barefooted to an old friend of the Chickasaw Nation, to be purified with burning sage and ceremony standing together amid the Oaks, Pines and Cedars...near a small creek...in the Sierras...as it was within me that I must do this. It was kept from me for most of my early life, but my own heritage is of the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations...though I am diluted it is there within my DNA, along with a known Scottish heritage.
My great-great grandmother who was of the Choctaw married a Scotsman...and oddly enough...I have felt a deep connection to both cultures since my youth, without knowing the truth. Now, it is my intent to very soon return to the Earth where I feel most comfortable, most connected...away from the dead zones of the cities... It is as if I see through more than my own eyes at times...as I see what took place in the past...and see what is taking place now...and there is no difference...the same greed and same need to posses...the same lust to destroy...and I have out-grown that greed and need to posses, which I inherited from other genetic roots...and now just wish to find the universe among the trees and mountains. To transition into the next world while there would be a most honourable experience and a great adventure.
Quote:
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"An Alternate Reality"
Quote:
"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
Dialog, spoken by character General George S. Patton, Jr., played by George C. Scott, from the movie, "Patton," (1970)
I'd like to meet:
Hmmmm...Who I would like to meet?... Most all have transitioned over to the otherside, but I do have an ever expanding list of them that I intend upon meeting in the alternate world I am creating. Over there...well...they will all be there, got a big shindig planned, starts any minute, but there is plenty of "Time."

Movies:
This is a very large list of films. I realize the beliefs that such things have a great influence on one's brain...and concur absolutely with that notion. However, as I will write into my Music and Television section...not all such influences are necessarily negative. I see film as art...others see it, as television, like an opiate of the masses, or "Bread and Circus." That is fine to believe whatever.
In my humble opinion and my life experiences...I have gleaned many things from film, the aspects of characters acted out by actors...realms of imagination and sensory awareness once limited to that inner imagination from reading books. My influences were more the "character" of the character...that being a great influence in a world that does not demonstrate such too often.
So, it would then be easy to say that I have built a part of my foundation upon fantasy fictional characters...giving me a unreal perspective upon reality...okay...and that is a real problem? I suppose I just think a wee bit differently and see this matter in me own way...and that is what really matters.
Being of Native American descent...and other aspects of the aethreal...am not keen on those movies I listed portraying such histories in a twisted and historically incorrect manner...but as a child they did have at least...some positive effect.

"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do."
John Muir, (1838 - 1914), Preservationist
Quote:
"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
John Muir, (1838 - 1914), Preservationist
Quote:
"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."
John Muir, (1838 - 1914), Preservationist

Quote:
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders or wise men. Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it 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 (Gautama Buddha 563 -483 BCE), Founder of Buddhism, Philosopher, teacher, and religious leader
