LIGHT,
AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT
When we
first started the channeling sessions in the early
'90’s, we had no idea what the Internet would grow
into but the potential to reach a vast number of
people on the planet was certainly there. So too
was the belief that, at the proper time in the
earth’s technological advancement, the sessions
being taped could be issued as podcasts after
first being re-mastered professionally to overcome
the inferior recording equipment being used and
the concept of podcasts to be developed. As we now
come to September of 2015, a video, a thought, a
song or a podcast can cross the planet with the
potential to reach millions of people within
seconds. We take it for granted but looking back
on what that would have meant twenty years ago and
the power that carries with it needs to be
understood better.
To do
so, we need to look even further back 40 years to
1977 when "Star Wars" was first released. I was
one of the many lucky ones who saw it on the big
screen in its initial debut. Back then, the
Internet was word of mouth, the library and the
news so while the movie came out in May, it wasn’t
until July when I was convinced it was a movie
worth watching. Coming out of the theater I
wondered what had taken me so long but, with the
release of the appropriately named “Force Awakens”
sequel, December can’t come fast enough. Thanks to
a company that has influenced young minds like
mine for many a decade, a company far thinking in
its looking ahead to a world on the brink of
change, The Disney Corporation is reaping the
benefits of a story with a life of its own.
Working so close to the real thing as seen in the
“Star Trek” universe more so than the one in the
“Star Wars” has given me a unique perspective that
is no longer as unique as it once was thanks to
George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry.
This is
the first of many editorials to come over the next
few years to acknowledge the changes the new
movies will bring both positive and negative. Once
again the question arises of what is good and what
is right, who is the dark and who fights for the
light. In this case, some of the light is millions
of Jedi’s in training already watching the old
movies in anticipation of what’s to come or even
better, getting a taste of it for the first time.
When the first trailer came out for the movie, it
was viewed by so many people within a 24 hour
period that you could feel a change resonate
within the planetary group mind, if only for a
tiny bit. It’s old home week for those of us who
have followed the Star Wars series birth and
growth as well as everyone else who have seen the
movies as more than just an entertaining series of
adventures both daring and heroic. They who can
conceive of a universe that they may live in one
day given the right circumstances and
understanding of the deeper concepts presented.
Then again, maybe what they feel are memories
sparked by a past life in a galaxy far, far away.
It was
inconceivable 40 years ago what “Stars Wars” would
and will become and equally inconceivable 20 years
ago that the fun chats with our friends living
that existence of interstellar travel, meeting
races of every type and using skills any fan of
the movies would be very familiar with would still
be as relevant now if not more so than they were
back then. Now with their knowledge available as
podcasts, anyone with internet access can listen
and their light can spread as fast as thought can
travel. A universe of wise and beneficent beings
exists three dimensions away and luckily it only
takes channels like Mark to bridge the gap,
showing our potential future without money,
lightsabers or a need for war and, while it makes
for a less exciting movie, it makes a far more
enlightening reality.
In love and light as one,
Russ and Karra
