And now, the warning: If we continue to deny the simple legitimacy of the experience, particularly in the manner that it is commonly experienced; if we continue to view it with prejudice; if we continue to dismiss it as inconsequential, or worse, as nothing more than an annoying, medically treatable psychological aberration, we will only succeed in driving the phenomenon underground within the collective psyche of our species. This will subsequently result in a continued upwelling of psychic insurgencies as the experience continues to strafe the "better sensibilities" attributed to the current cultural predilections of our society. As it is driven underground, the phenomenon will simply continue to plot its own course in the tireless, relentless manner that it has always done with civilizations past, patiently and methodically, until it manages to pull off its own "9/11". A possible consequence of such folly: A new religion. Hi All, 7-27-09 It's "time" for a new religion, if there are any people left after the next "pinch", whether act of G_d or man. Four thousand years ago the followers of G_d the Father came slaughtering out of Central Asia, driving underground the Earth Mother, who partially emerged 2000 years ago with the martyr-god religions. Despite their moral message, these religions (regarded by some as only suitable for slaves), are now up to their eyeballs in blood and fanaticism. People are sick of them, despite their hopes of rapture or of Paradise with a vest of C4 and shrapnel. Jack Smith
