Attempting Political Slingshot Effect

Hillary Clinton
The "slingshot effect" was popularized and used in the original Star Trek episode, "Tomorrow is Yesterday".  According to Memory Alpha.org, it is also known as the  light-speed breakaway factor, and is a method of time travel through an artificially-created time warp.  This complicated science-fiction maneuver is created by a vehicle or space craft travelling towards a large planet or star with high gravitational force allowing the space craft to increase speed incredibly towards destruction but using that speed to break away at the last second preventing the ship from being destroyed and sending it back in time.

It was Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew of the Enterprise originally performing this maneuver as a last ditch effort to save their ship and of course it worked.  Now, a Poet uses this maneuver in a political theater endorsing Hillary Clinton.  It is not a last ditch effort but it is close as America faces down species extinction.

Readers must be reminded that the Poet hails from Libertarian political philosophy and a sudden shift to one of the status quo parties should be questioned.  I have not lost my mind- far from it as turbo-charged enlightenment has raised intellect to a future awaiting the rest of humanity.

A vision of extinction was researched and it turned out to be true.  Yet, research revealed extinction symptoms that were well known as infertility and not the true message of my vision.  So then, America and humanity faces a problem that is far worse.

We come now to she who would become the first female President of these United States of America.  She knows about extinction but does she know that she represents a significant part of the cause?  I should think not.  Therefore, plan A (in a sense) is to speed up the cause of extinction here in America using angry speed generated by Barack Obama and perhaps Mrs. Clinton to pull us back from the dark abyss at the last possible second generating enough momentum to send us back in time to part of the extinction solution finding once again the Mother Goddess.

Plan B is a new political party where  men exalt Matriarchs into political office.  That dynamic does not resemble marriage and family by coincidence and the problem of extinction in this world was given to the Poet for good reasons.  America will live to see another episode and go where few nations have gone becoming Masters of Evolution.

The Spiritual Loophole 2.0

Cosmic Connections
Pagan religions have always been an alternate choice in the quest for spirituality, although Paganism is really not a religion in my opinion.  Nevertheless, if one did seek out a major religion to answer an interest or need in spirituality it was more than likely that the search would end with the particular religion chosen. That is to say, the quest for truth and growth would end. All religions claim to be the correct religion and one need go no further according to the dogma of each. In effect, one would fine spirituality at the price of intellectual integrity and growth. 

Religion necessitates giving up intellectual integrity at some point in favor of faith. Your intellect becomes overwhelmed by spirituality depending on how much of your intellect or ability to reason is given over to religious faith. Such is what all religions ask of their followers at some point.

 
Just because one does not acknowledge spirituality within does not mean it is not there. Spirituality can be as little as looking up at a dark star-filled sky with awe and wonder to fanaticism willing to die or kill for religion. Spirituality is the path to a higher consciousness and enlightenment. Enlightenment is what humanity needs individually to evolve and humanity for the most part has been devolving. A higher consciousness is the calling of humanity and some of you have not been listening. Humans hear and experience this calling differently. We all have a place in this world and it is found easily through spirituality.

Spirituality I speak of here includes religion as religion comes under a form of spirituality. Spirituality may be a general awareness and consciousness of oneself in perspective to the universe whereas religion spells out your connection to the universe in dogma influenced quite usually by guilt, fear, and eternal happiness after death. Spirituality may recognize or seek the divine in oneself, the opposite sex, nature, or the universe. Religion is an end to a means whereas spirituality is a means to an end. Furthermore, that which is the end of spirituality may be never-ending.

I am inclined to liken humans to special musical instruments when it comes to spirituality. Spirituality is not easily understood and if someone comes along and hits the right notes in a person experiencing a need for spirituality yet lacks reason as an ideal, such a person will follow a Pied Piper of Metaphysical Music like a junkie follows a drug pusher.

Something like music might hit the right notes making a person tap their feet, dance, sing, or cry. Such is spirituality on a low level and specific to each individual. We know this as inspiration. Inspiration is a type of spirituality and depending on who is inspired and how spiritual that person is and aware of such spirituality will determine the product of such inspiration. Some people may experience spirituality only as a warm uplifting feeling and nothing more.

The world is magic.  Science is but an insipid style of sorcery. 
-Rudy Rucker

If one vehemently denies spirituality then that person is cut off from oneself and evolving. Your achievements and happiness are limited. What happened at the end of Sir Isaac Newton’s life? He reached his limit intellectually it would appear. Perhaps intrinsically he knew that the next step was through spirituality. Unfortunately for him, he was undone by the religion of his time and that would have been The Catholic Church. One now has to wonder what such a great mind would have achieved given the right path to his inherent need for spirituality? Great thinkers and scientists of today continue to deny their spirituality by erroneously thinking that it has something to do with religion. Those scientists who choose religion as a means of satiating the need for spirituality are necessarily limited in any intellectual growth and achievements in direct ratio to how much reason they shelve in favor of faith. Religion falls under spirituality and not the other way around. Since religion dominates culture and politics and has been the greatest enemy to science, scientists and great thinkers of today are quite logical in dismissing their natural need for spirituality.  Logical conclusions are not always rational (see Feminism).  Scientists will now discover that dismissing spirituality was not a rational decision. Like Newton, the science community, and all non-believers will only go so far intellectually without acknowledging and feeding their inherent need for spirituality.
Scientism is belief in the universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or most valuable part of human learning to the exclusion of other viewpoints.
                                                                                   --Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia

Awareness and seeking a higher awareness is key to human evolution. Such explains the gap in the world between ethics and science. It also explains why human evolution has virtually ceased. Science can study ethics, awareness, and sexual love. That is about all science can do in such areas and any type of applied science in such fields will fail or make matters worse. Science alone cannot move humanity up the evolutionary scale any further. Science is of little use in dealing with the dark abyss threatening to engulf all of humanity today called infertility. Spirituality and awareness hold part of the answer to extinction and must be experienced and shared. Awareness cannot be exploited for greed and power and that is why the patriarch matrix is not interested in attaining a higher consciousness. It at once explains why leaders of humanity continue to be a primitive species racing toward extinction and the continuation of religion.

As stated previously, spirituality is not easily understood. Science would say that the field is completely subjective if not mystical. Science turns a blind eye to anything it cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Such is science in the patriarch matrix. Life is an event of reasonable doubts and science must grow up and leave the snobbery at home if it is to continue with a measure of respect. Because spirituality is not easily understood and humans need spirituality even if they do not know why, they can be taken advantage of by men who know that the vagaries of religion offer riches and power to the man who knows how to manipulate emotions and/or spirituality in the right people. They exploit what I have come to call the 'Spiritual Loophole' of humanity. 


Any sufficiently advance technology is indistinguishable from magic. 
 -Arthur C. Clarke

Humans want and need spirituality as a matter of survival and evolution. However, because they do not understand spirituality it leaves them vulnerable to fakes, frauds, and criminals, and even their own existential inconsistencies. Also, since there are many paths to spirituality and a higher consciousness, some humans find spirituality and a higher consciousness but never gain enlightenment because the path chosen is limited. If spirituality was well understood then there would not be several opposing religions and science would not be a snob to an integral part of humanity. Furthermore, this integral part of humanity would not be under the control of charlatans, fools, and criminals that make up a majority of religious clergy. An integral element of human survival and evolution is misunderstood to the point of exploitation by good intentions or bad and the cycle is repeated ad infinitum. Such defines the spiritual loophole of humanity.

The Spiritual Loophole 1.0

Astro-Physicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the most brilliant statements coming into to my consciousness in the last 30 years or so came from famed Astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  Dr. Tyson said a national survey showed that a small percentage of the top scientists in America believe in the existence of a higher being and/or are religious. He went on to say this small percentage of scientists reflect a greater percentage for the rest of society and the phenomena should not be "swept under the rug." We should study the phenomena as there is something there that is significant. It is happening and a part of our existence. To deny it is to deny humanity. 

What Dr. Tyson said has lead me to the undeniable conclusion that all humans are spiritual. Skeptics will say, 'You have no proof. Show me evidence.' How can you ever prove that all humans are spiritual? Such is why humanity nudges to the brink of extinction. Like the door to a home, the door inside some minds are closed and wonderful possibilities cannot get inside locked out like so much life experience. Linger alongside the status quo going nowhere in your brilliant doubt as true Freethinkers evolve and rise above you. Dr. Tyson is one of the most brilliant thinkers in the world. By the time humanity catches up to thinkers like him, it may be too late.

Evidence for innate spirituality in humanity begins when history is recorded for the first time and continues today. Experiential evidence resides within all and prose here shall seek to uncover it buried in the debris dumped by the patriarchal matrix. Unfortunately, spirituality is understood only slightly better than it was in ancient times. If not, humanity might be in a better predicament. Spirituality has always been the domain of religion and religion is all that is needed to prove the premise that all humans are spiritual. The question of why religion has proliferated up until now among intelligent humans is put forth on social networks with many different responses. Some humans need religion as a crutch. Some humans need religion on an existential level to explain the unexplainable or the incomprehensible. Some humans are innately stupid. Religion is a con game and all about money. I have heard many answers to the religious riddle. There is no answer to the riddle of religion like the spark provided by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. There is something there and it is that humans are spiritual beings and need a measure of spirituality for survival and evolution.

If one were interested in spirituality at any time in our history one invariably would have to seek out some form of religion. If one did seek out religion to answer an interest or need in spirituality it was more than likely that the search would end there in whatever particular religion chosen. That is to say, the quest for truth and growth would end. All religions claim to be the correct religion and one need go no further according to the dogma of each. In effect, one would fine spirituality at the price of intellectual integrity and growth. Religion necessitates giving up intellectual integrity at some point in favor of faith. Your intellect becomes overwhelmed by spirituality depending on how much of your intellect or ability to reason is given over to religious faith. Such is what all religions ask of their followers at some point. 

Plead that you are not now nor will you ever be spiritual or seek knowledge thereof in the future. I would then say you are wrong on the first two points and on the third I would say it is quite difficult to predict the future. Just because one does not acknowledge spirituality within does not mean it is not there. Spirituality can be as little as looking up at a dark star-filled sky with awe and wonder to fanaticism willing to die or kill for religion. Spirituality is the path to a higher consciousness and enlightenment. Enlightenment is what humanity needs individually to evolve and humanity for the most part has been devolving. A higher consciousness is the calling of humanity and some of you have not been listening. Humans hear and experience this calling differently. We all have a place in this world and it is found naturally through spirituality.

Whether we like it or not we are advocating a return to a spiritual way of life, one that puts spirit energy back into the materialist equation -- and this threatens the whole power base of materialist science which is at present the ruling dogma.
