Sometimes something is sent to me that I want to share. I can’t tell you who sent this because identification with the circles would threaten him in the straight, political world in which he operates, but I so liked what he had to say, including setting me straight on what I recently posted about Reuters, that I am passing it along:

This is from email #1

Yes, this is very big news the press conference of military officials! I think in the future this event will certainly go down as a one of the milestones in the long march towards full disclosure. Unfortunately, and I can say this with the benefit of a lot of experience working with the corporate media, writing and lecturing about it, and an extensive academic background in media theory and criticism (that was my Master’s and Bachelor’s), I don’t see any progress or any positive signs in terms of the media’s coverage or treatment of this phenomenon.

Unfortunately, I think the guy that posted the press release might be reading too much into Reuters “coverage.” The story is just a release from those holding the press conference, and it’s done through a paid wire service (that costs as much as $400). That means Reuters didn’t even have a reporter write anything on this event! Anyone can publish a press advisory through a PR newswire (I’ve done so myself). So, sadly, as I research what kind of treatment this event got from the corporate media, it seems to me it might even be worse than feared. The fact that a story of this magnitude (if it was judged by the same standards as all other news) STILL didn’t generate any actual coverage, is a stark reminder that the Matrix is powerful and entrenched, and is not even close to being ready to allow for a challenge to the status quo. Big surprise!

…I’m so happy for all your success around the movie, Suzanne. It’s so deserved! I take a lot of heart to know that you’re out there serving as one of our representatives on the crop circle phenomenon. I think you and I are both out front working on different “paradigm shift components” — me on one aspect of reality (law, social movements, political advocacy) and you on a different one (though they are so connected). As my dad said to me, I am honored to be a fellow soldier in the war for justice, or, to use less militaristic verbiage, it’s an honor to participate in the great struggle for justice with you. 🙂

And from email #2:

I find so many “skeptics” (though they don’t seem to be skeptical of the establishment’s version of reality, are they?), including a few friends, who know so much about science and politics and are so smart, yet can’t seem to even contemplate or discuss the implications of something like crop circles, even though, as you said, the evidence is indisputable.

Similarly, their counterparts are all too prevalent: people who are completely “spiritual” and open to the reality of alien existence and contact, meditate, do yoga, and believe just visualizing what they want is somehow enough in the face of the powers that are against us. Sadly, these people don’t follow what’s happening right around them, with their tax money, and don’t even vote (and seem to believe they are somehow “above all that”), which I think completely contradicts their claimed “enlightenment.” Did Jesus, Martin Luther King, or Gandhi sit back and just visualize what they wanted in order to save themselves from the hard work of engaging reality and the political and social order? Obviously not.

I say all this because I think you and I are talking about two realities that must be merged, and are almost mirrors of each other. The system maintains itself by too many siding in one camp and not seeing the connection between our spirituality and our politics. How can people claim to be so compassionate and evolved when they don’t even vote or care about the fact that 4 out of 10 or our tax dollars go to the military and wars, or that 43 million Americans are now living in poverty as the wealthiest 400 families have as much wealth as the bottom 50 million combined, or that 50 million can’t afford health insurance, or that 1 of 5 children go hungry in OUR COUNTRY every night as banks get trillions in bailouts? You get the picture. I could go on for four pages just on this list of the current reality and suffering and injustice, largely because we have ALLOWED it to happen.

I also find it disturbing and problematic to find so many people that care about a lot of these issues, yet can’t see a much larger reality that awaits us — and, in fact, are actively hostile and dismissive of it and of those who are open to it. Just the realization that crop circles are real would go so far in turning that proverbial light bulb on for so many, and that is the flip side of the coin that I believe is necessary to change our dying paradigm.

I agree that there’s a BIG STORY for the media regarding crop circles, which adds to the argument that there’s much more at play than even ratings. But, yes, I do believe there is a slow process of disclosure going on; the question will be whether the forces that hide it will be allowed to tell us how to react to it.

So, in some ways I’ve become less hopeful we’re going to be able to reach that critical mass in both these worlds. But, I also know this life, right here and now, is one step of a much, much larger journey. AND, regardless of if I think we’re going to turn that corner or not, I know it’s possible and that the joy is in the process itself, anyway; the “fight” as I call it, against forces and prejudices must be taken on, regardless of whether it may seem hard or insurmountable. And there is contentment to be found, for others, to simply be a part of something that is so just and “right.”

Clearly, I think what you’re doing and what I’m doing is so important, and their connection with each other is even more so. The more we start creating a political reality that enhances justice and compassion, the better our chance is that we will open up to a much larger spiritual reality, like the crop circle phenomenon. Similarly, the more we open to a larger spiritual and eternal reality, like crop circles, the more we will reject the politics of competition, wealth, resource control, greed, dominance, selfishness, etc.

Wow! You really get me wanting to share my thoughts! I assure you I don’t do this to everyone I “talk” with…sorry…:)
