The
summer of 1947 was an amazingly eventful moment in human history, in more ways
than one.
In
June of 1947, a French scholar named Jean Doresse discovered the importance of
52 books, referred to as the Nag Hammadi Codices, found in December of 1945 in
a cave in Upper Egypt. These books were allegedly hidden by early followers of
Jesus Christ, called Gnostics, nearly 2,000 years ago. Gnostics (gnosis is a
Greek word meaning inner knowledge or insight) were considered heretics and
persecuted by orthodox Christians.
These
books included: the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Apocryphon of
John, and the Gospel of Truth. Also in this collection were writings attributed
to early followers of Jesus Christ, such as the Secret Book of James, the
Apocalypse of Paul, the Letter of Peter to Philip, and the Apocalypse of Peter.
Also
in the summer of 1947, 15,000 fragments from 500 manuscripts were discovered in
11 caves on the shore of the Dead Sea, about 13 miles east of Jerusalem. These
are known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Fragments of every book in the Old Testament
(except the Book of Esther) were found. Prophecies by Ezekiel, Jeremiah and
Daniel, plus psalms attributed to King David and Joshua, not found in the Bible
are written in the scrolls.
According
to scholars, the Dead Sea Scrolls were written by the Essenes (a strict
apocalyptic Jewish sect that dwelled in the wilderness) between 200 B.C and 68
A.D. The Essenes were led by a priest known as the "Teacher of
Righteousness" who was opposed (and possibly killed) by the established
priesthood in Jerusalem.
On
June 21, 1947, an airplane pilot named Kenneth Arnold spotted what he described
as “flying saucers” over Mt. Rainier in Washington. The term “flying saucer”
soon became part of the English language. Over the next few weeks, hundreds of
reports of flying saucers appeared in newspapers across the USA.
On
July 4, 1947, several witnesses, including an older couple sitting on their
porch, an archeologist and his students on a field trip, and two nuns changing
shifts at a local hospital witnessed an object late at night "come in out
of the north-northwest sky at a very high rate of speed" near Roswell, New
Mexico, and crash into the earth.
This
unidentified object was spotted on Army Air Force radar and an armed unit was
dispatched to the area.
Sometime
thereafter, during the daylight, Mack Brazel discovered a large amount of
unusual debris scattered over his ranch near Roswell. He informed the local
sheriff who informed the Army Air Force Base in the area.
On
July 8, 1947, Major Marcel, intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group at the
Roswell Army Air Field, released a statement to the press that a flying disk
had been recovered from a ranch in the Roswell vicinity. The recovered debris
was flown to "higher headquarters" where it soon disappeared from the
radar screen altogether.
The
official explanation, by General Ramey of the Army Air Force, was a weather
balloon. Apparently, an intelligence officer and numerous witnesses were unable
to distinguish between a balloon and a metallic saucer.
No
big deal -- now we can all sleep better at night knowing our government isn't
keeping any secrets from us.
In
the summer of 1947, Jews began returning to their ancestral homeland, from
Europe and Russia, to form a new state named Israel (officially recognized in
1948). The United Nations set up partitions for Arabs and Jews.
Also
in the summer of 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the racial color barrier in
baseball, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in jet aircraft flight, construction
began on the United Nations (U.N.) building in New York City and the minimum
wage became a dollar an hour. The ever-expanding federal government created the
Atomic Energy Commission, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National
Security Council, the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
It
was quite a remarkable coincidence that significant holy scriptures were
discovered in the Middle East and UFO activity became intense during the same
short span of time. Plus, it was quite a coincidence of the rapid buildup of
military intelligence during a period of perceived UFO threat.
Or
perhaps, it wasn't a coincidence at all.
On
August 10, 1947, I blew out the three candles on my birthday cake. Then I went
outside and played alone in my sandbox, contemplating my future as either the
inventor of a space-time continuum modulator that would traverse parallel
universes via vibration-frequency modality corresponding to the nine-dimensional
vortex of superconsciousness within the quantum matrix of the id, or as a rodeo
clown. At age three, I had trouble figuring out what to do with the rest of my
life.
In
the end, it turned out that a space-time continuum modulator was non-functional
because the Galactic Federation didn’t think much of the human race thereby
quarantining Planet Earth from contaminating the rest of the universe, and being
a rodeo clown had too many potential mishaps such as being flung into the air
by a large-dumb animal and landing in a fresh pile of large-dumb-animal dung,
so I moved on to other pursuits.
Today
isn’t much different than the summer of 1947. The human race is still populated
by self-centered morons who lust for wealth and/or power, and/or demand
conformity to their way of life. Materialism and mindless growth remain prime
objectives, superseding stability and peace of mind. The greedy manipulate the
wealth, the fearful initiate conflicts, the self-righteous demand conformity
and the conformists fall in line. Humanity becomes a giant organism of power
struggles, inevitably resulting in suffering and injustice.
On
Planet Earth, greed is good, big is better and follow the leader over the
cliff.
But
at least we can now watch it all on TV.
In
the meantime, those with enough common sense and fortitude to see beyond the
programmed vision forced upon them by the Elites will live incorruptible lives
of rebelliousness, patiently waiting for the glorious moment when the Bubble of
Bling-Bling bursts.
The
summer of 1947 was a monumental turning-point in human history.
Another
monumental turning-point in human history beckons -- when human greed implodes
upon itself and the Age of Enlightenment brings contentment to the Orb of
Wounded Souls.
Bring
it on.
