Michael Tsarion is right about much and, yes, the paradigm shift is upon us.

Eztemp is also right by saying that the shift cannot be thwarted by the slavers. Over the chessboard, Eztemp reveals to me a brief history of species. Hunting and gathering --> fires --> farms --> civilization --> slavery --> freedom.

Throw in an intervention here and there by the “gods” and you have one cycle of mankind.

By cross referencing Hopi, Mayan and Hindu legends, it can be concluded that this is the Fourth Cycle of Mankind. Let’s review.

The First Cycle

The First Cycle of man was the Shadow-Beings or Shadow-People. Some are still around and sighted from time to time but they mostly reside in the Unmanifest. The mind of this species of man could be said to be non-dimensional. Read on.

Perhaps the First Cycle featured the energy incarnation of man that in the 1986 edition of the “Bhagavad Gita, As it Is,” His Divine Grace Swami Prabhupada describes as beings of “subtle bodies” (p. 86). Westerners call them “ghosts” but due to the evolution of language and neurolinguistic programming that term today is largely meaningless. Whatever the terms used to describe them, they seem to be a manifestation of an incomplete thought of some higher intelligence, perhaps of a “god.”

The Second Cycle

The Second Cycle of man was instinctual man, the Earth material manifestation of the Shadow-People. His mind could be said to be one dimensional, and it was raw, mostly peaceful, yet bestial. Thus magi and astrologer for Winston Churchill, Aleister Crowley, referred to this mind as “The Beast,” and adopted it as one of his prominent monikers. This mind resides in the reptilian brain, also called the “brainstem.” Today most organized religions seek to suppress The Beast Mind in man, as opposed to assimilating it into a unified mind. This can create neuroses among adherents. The Beast should be put to use, not jailed.

The Third Cycle

The psyche of the Third Cycle of man was what we would today refer to as the human subconscious. This additional dimension of the mind channeled the communal conscious and thus was dominated by groupthink, a herd mentality that would make impossible even the simplest concept of identity. Dim, fleeting self-awareness was an echo of the real deal rippling backward from the future. This dimension of the mind now lives in the right hemisphere of the brain.
