Many marvelous and formulaic days ahead, with so many days left behind, populating our memories with paths, treasure, moments, beings and voices; memories filled with grub, spit, screams, utter love, movement and songs; moments of doubt, agony, victories, isolation and entertainment; instants of significance; others of little value beyond hedonism. From time to time, when the heavenly bodies align in certain ways, and when souls are crystal clear or properly affected, you savor moments of absolute connection. And this connection becomes absolute, resolute, undeniable, incontrovertible: cosmic.

Join Ender Black, as he takes you through the motion of the moments, ever gyrating in the eternal desire to continue, as if activated by strings of luminescence. They sing and twirl; they carry voices and identities, ever so all-encompassing and filled with subtle amalgamations and swiftly resolved antitheses.  

A synthesis and a hypothesis, convoluted with each other, like the air embraces the presence of the bird, and the bird engages in the solidity of the air.  Bird and air, both aspects of a system. Like the galaxies wrap around our bodies, enveloping everything without judgement. Once the connection is made, there is not two, three, seven or four hundred. There is only one.

Earth is such a crazy yet prized game. Trillions of beings find themselves manifesting their consciousnesses on its surface. These units of identity come and go, day by day; the dance of life and death doesn't get interrupted. It is a perilous environment, teeming with limitations and violence. Many prize it because it shows us what we are not. "How can we know what we know is true knowledge, if this knowledge can't be blown and shown so we may see the unknown?". Many hold this belief firmly. Others simply don't get in the way, because they love so much and all they want is for all to live in freedom. "We do not need to live in reverse to know what we are, because what we are is known and sown in stone, and there is no known or unknown that can coerce what we know; what we know is the verse that sparks the flow that starts this show".  This is what they say, as silence falls onto the ancient forests of the first creations.

Soon, Earthicans will be shaken and awakened, and you will tremble in excitement and trepidation. It is not everyday that a grand fantasy becomes an indisputable reality. But is it not true that surprises and crises can inspire our psyches to reach mighty paths? It is the story of our lives. That struggle becomes the fuel for the grand, and the rule of the land gets defined by your mind and your hind.

The humans on this small, pathetic, beautiful planet believe themselves to be better than the rest of the creatures. Delusions of a broken world, where a colonizing force of massive proportions set up shop two hundred million years ago.  All the animal creatures, without exception, are always considered equal to any and all human creatures. This has been the way of the creations since the moment the first beings emerged from their own chests, and breathed the first breaths in a new space. These truths are undisputed in the realms of center and above, the worlds of origin and hegemonic harmony.

Two hundred million years of planetary engineering on our sweet, home Earthalama.  For the past two thousand years, their descendants have been especially involved in the affairs of existence in this world, making sure everything gets properly designed, engineered and manufactured to, basically, siphon the life force of all the beings. "Otherwise, how can we know what we know to be if we don't know what we know we are not?, some of them say. Others are simply master ogre warlocks who don't give two clucks about anything anybody says. They seem too far gone in the activities of maintaining the reverse reality systems that define life on our sweet, home Earthalama.

And yet, look at the things we can see. The beings all around us, the skies, fields, forests, oceans, rivers, sounds and sights, mountains and light. So many beings, all carrying the same capacity of identity and sight. Animal creatures, human creatures. Both aspects of a system.  -------- And it is not atypical for planets like Earth to be silly and sad; really it is just a tad mad, but not so bad to power through, right? Feels rad to be silly and sad, then back to glad, back to sad, back to rad. And we do it because this is rough. --------- A predator/prey planet. Considered normal within the confines of our game. A predator/prey planet. Considered normal within the delineations of nations upon nations, as we continue to be isolated from the galactic whole. A predator/prey planet. Wow. --------- And now what?! What can we do if the very reality we live in is one of predators and prey?  -------- What did they do with the vegetation the cat would eat? What happened to the protein and nutrient rich rivers and streams? How can we expect true harmony and order when the alligator has no choice but to be a river monster to live? What vegetation can they eat that can satiate them? That vegetation is long gone from this planet. A crucial part of engineering a reality system of struggle and pain. --------- But hey don't you ever forget about the butterflies in the summer, the adorable steps of the squirrel or the awe inspiring hours that make all make sense. In this world in reverse, the undeniable poetry of beauty and life is clear to all. It's just nice to be level-headed and awaken in this world of lies and turmoil.   --------- It's okay. When this game is done, I'm sure you will have learned many things, and your long life will give us all the wisdom the children need for what's ahead for them.   --------- Just do me a favor. Try a little bit to shake off the western culture programming and global, social conditioning. Do that for a moment. Breathe in, breathe out. No fear, no struggle. For a second, embrace the unknown and unprovable, the energy that powers your breath. We can go back to our phones and laptops shortly.

When we temporarily shut down Earth's ring of satellites, that day will be remembered. You will lose all internet and global communications for a few days. We might need to do that a few times yearly to ensure the Process goes well.  When that happens, don't you worry your pretty little face. You'll have KBOO 90.7FM Portland, and all throughout the world, your fellow human creatures will also have access to the wonders of community radio.  Surely, without internet and global communications, programming will suffer a bit, but you will always find that person who will go the extra mile, head to the station anyway to inform you of exactly what the heck is happening, straight from the source. Lively and dynamic days ahead. Ender says hi
