RE: Are you in a secret society?
Secret Society of one here. No new members allowed. A secret shared is not a secret, and I am a secret mulderite. It's a secret so I can't tell you. Enough of the fun,
the public is kept ignorant and in the dark..
Mostly of it's own choosing, we can all turn a light on if we want to, but most people find the dark and shadows more to their liking. We are born from the darkness, and thrust into sudden light that hurts and so we gasp and cry, thus it is part of our primordial memory, the warmth and comfort of the dark, the fear and loathing brought on by the light, so we really are not afraid of the dark, just the truth the light reveals.
That was one of the best responses I've got my entire time here on steemit.
I disagree with this part though.
I wouldn't say mostly, not everyone can be at the highest levels of power, and those at the highest levels of power tend to want the people below them more ignorant so they can remain at the highest levels of power.
Though I do agree there is a lot more the average person could know if they wanted to and showed more interest in the subject.
This part was really fascinating and makes me think you've got a bit of occult knowledge whether you belong to a group or not. Perhaps you're just another researcher like myself, I dunno.. But.. Very poetic and powerful words, especially the last couple lines. Not that I necessarily see it as a perfect or proper metaphor for morality though. I try to not get stuck in "duality" so to speak. While it seems overwhelming that duality is an important aspect of existence, I think if you think like that too much you can put yourself into a more limited box. I try to think in thirds, or even fourths or more when applicable.
"a bit of occult knowledge " - - Just what I picked up from movies, a few books (not specifically on the subject), sci-fi mostly,and of course Art Bell Radio show, not so much from Mr Snoorey. And then things I would here when I worked or went to bars, or heard in the laundromats when I was younger. no real metaphor about it, just a simple observation of very ancient birth procedures, and modern ones. I don't think Ancient man was as afraid of the dark as modern man is, and the only real explanation i can see is the manner in which child birth is done in our "modern society".
Thanks for clarifying! You seem like an interesting one indeed. Umm.. I tend to agree about Ancient man, though a part of me is open to other possibilities.. I feel like we don't truly know a lot about thousands of years ago unless we were there.. And I'm not saying you're saying that either you clearly said you "think".. But anyways.. Can you tell me more about what you mean in regards to the child birth in modern society thing? Do you mean how different it is from the natural way? Like how artificial and everything? Or something else maybe?
As little as 300 years ago, most child birth was done at home, in comfortable surroundings, in low light conditions. It just seems to me that you would want to cause as little stress on a newborn as you possible can. Today we are born into bright light, slapped on the ass, and given shots with-in minutes or seconds of being born. We are taken away from the comfort of a warm body, and strong heartbeat, and placed in a shallow pan under bright lights, and a thin worthless blanket if you are lucky thrown on top of you. You are held next to a warm body for maybe 6 minutes, before being thrown in a room full of other traumatized newborns.
Somehow I doubt that we have improved childbirth very much over what it used to be. I know infant mortality we are told in those times (pre-western medicine) was not very good. I don't know how many or percentage wise what the death rate of newborns, (within hours), was, but I doubt it has improved much with modern medicine. We still lose women to childbirth, we still lose newborns hours after childbirth.
Experts can tell us that infant and child mortality have vastly improved over the last couple of centuries, but was it because of modern medicine, or because we learned to be a little bit cleaner?
That's a really powerful point..Fortunately I was born naturally and outside of the hospital, no vaccines or any of that stuff. I wonder sometimes if it has anything to do with why I seem so different than most people. I dunno, but I do think the more natural method is better and if I ever have a child I would want it to be a natural birth not one in a hospital.
Also in regards to your last question.. I tend to think probably cleanliness had a lot to do with it.
