Mankind.
Lmao!! We are the same club wielding primates that have been killing each other to sit a little closer to the fire that we have always been.
We are no different that our ancient ancestors, still as violent, still as selfish, still worshiping mystical beings in the sky hoping they will save us from ourselves.
Im waiting for our species to hit its teenage years...a sliver of hope, and all it does is make me bitter in regards to our species as we have no intetion of leaving our diapers behind.

Dark Times
It is a necessary thing, what is going on right now. These times we are living in. It creates a desire in the people. A desire for something better than what we have now. Historic events show that the cyclical nature of rise and fall with plans for World domination always ends badly.
On the bright side, the Golden age is next. What does this represent? From my perspective, it is similar to graduating university. So, the learning curve is usually the steepest near the crest. Oh, the opportunity to learn is ever present. We must continue to learn or we perish, like plants without water.

I wish I had your optimism but to quote Joan all we got and we 'll ever get is a raw deal. Things were better after WW2 , actually a lot better but in the process they got ugly and they are going to stay that way for some time to come.
we are blind
Because we are blind we don't see what happened, what is happening and what is coming.

I think Rudyard Kipling
summed it all up quite nicely a long time ago. though en masse it seems we will never ever learn the lesson in this 3d state.
The Gods of the copybook headings.
is a poem published by Rudyard Kipling in 1919, which, editor Andrew Rutherford said, contained "age-old, unfashionable wisdom" that Kipling saw as having been forgotten by society and replaced by "habits of wishful thinking".
The "copybook headings" to which the title refers were proverbs or maxims, extolling virtues such as honesty or fair dealing that were printed at the top of the pages of 19th-century British students' special notebook pages, called copybooks. The school-children had to write them by hand repeatedly down the page.
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

DNA stays the same only if we stay the same. Glardu said it well.... we dont want to leave our diapers behind.
Walk the extra mile....light your fire... get ahead... life is always on the move. Children of the Sun -- we have our freewill.

Plus to always remember of what the C's have said; things will be different 'this time' because of the approaching wave.
DNA stays the same because the Jews so desire. If it changed they would have to deal with new data and they don't want that to happen. That's why genetic engineering failed.

Could very well be Honda but all colours have lazy-buggers.... they ll all get their asses kicked ;-)
DNA is a transmitter, just as the print tells the written story.

why god why hahaha
No, history is mother teacher of life, I control my own dna, as it's mine to play with. It only bothers me that from iron comes gold, why is it tougher than to get from gold to silver?

I've been asking
the universe for several years now to get the hell off this mudball, but recently I've changed my tune. Now I want to learn all the lessons I need to, in this lifetime, no matter how old I get to be, so I don't have to come back again! "Keep me free from birth". I really want to go, but more than that, I REALLY don't want to do another tour of duty on this planet. Reincarnation is the trap that we all need to avoid, and seriously how history repeats itself.

I think I m with you regarding what you said.
I really do not want to do another tour of duty/reeincanation too,
probably not even on another planet.

Today, because of modern technology, we (as humans) have 'evolved' a single macro-cult that pretty much dominates all life forms. Because it is a cult, of course this will end badly; though in the interim, a substantial number of people find it to their 'liking' by catering, wonderfully and sensually and without any apparent 'cost', to their special pleasures and large appetites.
Worshipping the beast is really fun, seems safe and fully protective, until it turns its jaws toward you.
And it always does.
Ego identity=cult formation=endlessly repeating hell.
Get it?
Got it.
ned, out
