The Flood (Judaica)
- Not everyone drowned in the flood
There were pockets of humanity all over the world that survived. - All the stories of the flood are perhaps mythologised stories based on some actual event.
- As perhaps the stories of escaping the flood, often via an Ark-like vessel, or some other sort of “other-worldly” means might have been histories, retold many times, of the same event.
- We find similar themes, such as the infant child, surviving miraculously, growing up to become a saviour to his people.
It is a story expressing the wisdom that the energy that will set us free will always travel along a path that is different from the “normal/regular/accepted” path. If it affects the centre, it will change everything. If contained, it will only change the outside - else it will instigate painful and disturbing changes, some good, some bad - that might result in an actual intrinsic change in the society itself - with G-d’s blessing.
The flood was an Electro-Magnetic (EM) event.
Steven King wrote a book about a signal that was sent out on our cell phones that turned people into vicious zombies. One could send out pulses of certain EM frequencies that would impact the person’s nervous system, or their regulatory systems, their immune system, or even their cognition—perhaps any “system”. If one could introduce magnetised (or magnetisable) elements into the body, it should make it that much simpler to manipulate or even terminate them. I am just painting a possible scenario of an EM event.
One of the clues here is that in biblical tales, water has often been a metaphor for elements that express themselves as waves, as in “The Spirit of the Lord was over the waters”. These unseen forces (as in the EM spectrum) are represented in the modern world as waves as well. These “waves” are not any more real now that we can express them mathematically.
From medieval times till recently, light, when represented by waves, was thought to be propagated in a medium called the luminous æther, just as the waves of the ocean need the medium of water to propagate.
EM-sensitive (Neshama)
What if it were possible for certain human beings, under certain conditions, to become cognitively aware of the electromagnetic (and possibly other) waves around us?
In my tradition, we refer to them as prophets. But they go by many names, mystic, visionary, shaman, sorceress, clairvoyant, seer, magician, witch, psychic. What they experienced is now referred to as imaginary, or hallucinations. And, if the person insists on their realness, will be labelled as psychotic. (Refer to Laing’s Knots). It seems that this imaginary world is populated by a whole cornucopia of other worldly beings — demons, angels, devils, imps, fairies, poltergeists, ghosts, spirits… The current accepted explanation is that all of these people and what they represented is purely a figment of their imagination, and as such cannot be proven scientifically. But, I ask, can they be proven experientially?
For the way we know of the existence of the unseen EM waves today is through their effect. In other words we can only “experience” them, even if only through our instruments. We have built tools which use that energy, and thus we accept that energy to be real as we can experience their effects … not knowing anything about them.
Why was it different between this EM energy, and the spiritual/unseen/mysterious energies that many cultures and traditions have records of that that have affected them and even their environment that we can no longer access? What if we spent the same amount of time and energy in researching the existence of these similarly intangible energies? We spend billions on building massive systems that are said to be able to sense and measure then unknown and often unbelievable sub-atomic elements. Machines that most of us have no idea how they work. Why, if we build a machine that says that something exists do we believe it, yet if someone senses the existence of something that we cannot build a machine to measure, we do not believe that it exists?
Once again, we find ourselves being asked to believe in material measurements above and beyond those measurements that we encounter from the G-d made machines - human and otherwise.
In addition, if the machines can sense this energy, how can we claim that they cannot be sensed by living beings. We radiate our environment with these waves and energies that power so much of our material lives, and yet continuously deny any claims that they might affect living systems.
We bathe an area in radio waves. The bees disappear, and we deny any connection - seeking some chemical or more elemental cause of their demise. People are suffering all sorts of strange illnesses, some of which were exceedingly rare before electrification, and we deny that electricity might have any effect on their health?
Whom are the ones that benefit from this denial, while the sickness and discomfort spreads? But those who are the proponents and manufacturers of said devices.
