many are amazed when they hear about things like the way some ancient construction, like Stonehenge or the pyramids, or sometimes even natural landscapes, casts some kind of unusual shadow or creates some kind of ray of light, but only on ‘special’ days like solstices, equinoxes and my mom’s birthday
if you’re looking to temper your amazement, consider that future archeologists may say the same thing about Manhattan

homo sapiens, the cannibal species
so, where did the Neanderthals go? their disappearance has never made evolutionary sense

dumber than prairie dogs ?
1st, this is by no means an atonement for the May 15 post about humourless Americans; the Goddess manages synchronicity
2nd, this is about humans, not just Canadians
3rd, are humans dumber than animals that communicate telepathically, or by some other unwritten and unspoken method ? like prairie dogs ?
4th, are we less-evolved than earthly species that communicate by deliberately manipulating their bio-chemical production ? like trees ?
5th, remember, “Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.” R. Buckminster Fuller

Today in History
On May 16, 1920 Pope Benedict XV canonized Jeanne d'Arc, who then became a patron saint of France.
The Burgundians arrested Jeanne by authority of the Inquisition, but lacked the nerve to kill her.
So they sold her to the English, who found Jeanne guilty of Witch craft and burned her at the stake on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19.
The Catholic Church pardoned her retroactively in 1452.

humourless Yanks
if your life is a trudge-trudge-glub-glub treadmill, you may not be aware of the anti-LGB...etc controversy about Miss California’s views on the Natural Family
if you are, you might find this video amusing, depending on whether you agree with her
if you don’t realize it’s a Queer-friendly parody within the 1st minute, please go to another page, quickly ~ I don’t want any hate mail
if do you realize it’s a parody, check out the YouTube comments under the video
isn’t that scary? no wonder they elected the Bushes, twice
[btw, for readers south of the 49th, humourless is the Canadian spelling]

Cosmic riddles
one of the existential questions that’s always intrigued me is, if ‘God’ created the universe, where’d he come from?
in many religions the faithful simply reject the question: ‘God just is’, they say, and if you haven’t found him yet you just need to find ‘the Word’
I’ve never understood how this differs from the pagan concept that Square One is The Mystery; as long as we are here, in this space and time, on a physical plane of human existence, we simply do not know
but we are starting to realize the beginning of the universe may not have been the beginning of everything
my Nov 7/09 posting looked at the evidence there might be something ‘beyond this universe’; now there’s a question about whether the Cosmos existed before the Big Bang or whether this universe might be a perennial, self-recycling entity ~ like a peony in a bigger Cosmic garden

WorldWideWeb at 40
Happy Birthday to the Internet, born in 1969 in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA]
it’s been about 10 years since I first heard the concept the Web is an evolutionary step in global consciousness, the Cosmic awakening of a planet, and the idea that the Internet represents the beginnings of neurons connecting and exchanging information with one another, the first step in planetary awareness
since then, I’ve come to know many paths, and come to appreciate them all as the spider lines that form the web of creation, evolution and consciousness [made – of course – by Spider Grandmother]
today, I recognize the momentum of evolutionary consciousness, from the teachings of Jesus to Madame Blavatsky to evolutionary enlightenment to Cosmic reconnections
all of which has prepared me for the idea the Internet could become Self-aware
Ben Goertzel, chair of the Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute, says the Internet already acts the way a brain does, and we might be able to “help wake it up” by asking it to search its own knowledge, find the gaps and do something about them
New Scientist has 7 more things you might not have known about the Internet
