This has
been written for those who have the will to
succeed where others fail to try. It’s also
written for those fifty years ago this summer who
came together in a celebration we now call the
"Summer of Love" who tried and seemed to fail at
changing their world. From those nascent roots of
what was hoped would be a raising of consciousness
across the social and political landscape came
generations of children influenced by a culture
born of free love, free thought and free
expressionism. Now it is as if the hippies have
gone high tech, higher consciousness and higher
overall. The Internet has connected people across
the world like a non-stop love in and those
connections have included beings from other worlds
and other dimensions. The teachings coming from
the thousands of websites devoted to strengthening
those connections to higher dimensional beings
have created a groundswell of interest in things
outside our planet as a result. Add to that the
growing support for marijuana legalization and
research into its benefits along with stronger
strains emerging have had a profound effect that
was also prevalent back then. Psychedelics in the
60's, just appearing outside of a lab for the
first time, opened people's minds in ways never
dreamed while today they still are finding their
way into the mainstream. The 60's
weren't totally about peace and love and then just
as now, the government has taken a decidedly
conservative tone with a new administration some
have referred to at times as Nixonian. Already the
drumbeats of war can be heard, the attorney
general is taking a harder line on drugs and the
Supreme Court is headed to the right. Around the
country, protests have broken out and racial
unrest has been a large part of the reason why for
a number of them while intolerance for anyone with
a different opinion is also on the rise. Someone
in a coma for fifty years and just coming around
to awareness after all this time may not be as
surprised with the changes as one might expect.
Despite all the negative similarities to the 60's
that exist, so much good is being generated by the
positive similarities that they far outweigh
anything that could derail the momentum of this
summer of enlightenment. Take for example
hallucinogenics, while we do not endorse or
encourage the experimentation of mind altering
substances, the life altering effects of them can
be a short cut to the one thing hard to experience
but attainable without needing any aids, oneness.
Anyone
who has ever experimented with psychedelics of any
kind has been given a glimpse of time at its
rawest near the end of the trip where each instant
is broken into a history of life choices laid out
in a swirling mosaic. So much so in fact that you
feel as if the decisions will never stop and you
can’t wait to get back to a normal mode of
thinking where it all gets slowed down to one
thought at a time again. In a matter of seconds,
over and over, one sees that the moment being
experienced all comes down to an unending series
of choices folding in on each other as you are
witness to the complete interconnectedness of all
things. Whether you choose to read or not read,
turn left instead of right, reach for a drink or
not reach for a drink, it doesn’t matter because
it all leads to the place one already feels at the
center of, source. Once free of the effects of
whatever it was that got you to that place, all of
the connectedness you have been a part of so
briefly fades from memory and your world is once
more your world, all that is left behind is a
desire to get back to that place without the need
of such substances. Facing eternity again and
again is a scary prospect but one of the lessons
to be learned from it is to always live a reality
one should be proud to call their own. Just
because the trip stops, it doesn’t mean the
lessons from it stop as well but hopefully the
lessons can be learned without the need of the
trip in the first place. It is
the same thing with past lives, just because we no
longer live them, it doesn’t mean there are not
lessons to be learned from a greater understanding
of what made us the people we are. Everybody is a
combination of previous lives and lessons that
make up a latticework of interconnecting lifelines
which weave together the tapestry of infinity we
experience. Once there were castles and classes to
maintain organization and protect the citizenry
from outside forces. Now there are countries and
the hard won security as the reward for our
evolution from barbarity to modern civilization.
It is computers and freedom of thought that will
take that evolution to the next step of going from
having national pride to an all-encompassing
planetary pride. Go Team Earth. It was in the 60's
when an explosion of light was ready to take place
through mind expanding substances and ideas but
the world wasn’t ready just yet. Instead it would
have to wait nearly sixty years engendering an
even larger explosion that could potentially start
any day. One thing the "Summer of Love" didn't
have were the higher dimensional teachers whose
help can get us to the goal that was hoped for
back then with our desire to make it so. Now the
mass consciousness of the world is seeing a return
to a spirit of the 60's but in an environment much
more conducive to the growth of that
consciousness. John Lennon said it best when he
said, “let it be.” We here at the Hades Base News
second that opinion but say instead, "let it
grow." In love and life as one. Russ and Karra
