Multiverse Minutiae

The deeper web of life that is the Earth. The metaphysics of material via the indwelling of spirit in all of nature. Earth focused people should rediscover their Promethean ambitions and counter reactionary neo-Malthusian ideology that diminishes human flourishing and will not save the planet. Promethean optimism recognizes that while at each stage of our history, as the result of solving past problems, new problems are created, we then must work - and often work very hard indeed - to overcome them. This is the principle of social sustainability - which Hans Jonas calls the “Imperative of Responsibility.” The pragmatic rule to give prophecy of doom priority over the prophecy of bliss. Due to our Promethean power, the whole biosphere of the planet - has been added to what we must be responsible for because of our power over it. Nature as a human responsibility is surely a question for Earth-centered ethical theory. However it is the goddess Gaia that we must turn to for inspirati...

Promethean Magic Why the best spiritual practice is the one you invent yourself!  The myth of Prometheus inspires a yearning for freedom in spiritual pursuits. There is no need for the memorization of liturgy, spells, ceremonies, arcana, and call-and-response recitations. Instead by focusing the will; directing the mental energies; synchronizing your mind, body, and emotions with the natural world; and — possibly — summoning unseen forces or entities—all things that are part of traditional ritualistic and ceremonial practice—are best approached in a mood of impulse, anarchy, and anything-goes effort.

But once you have assimilated the rulebook, or many rulebooks as the case may be, you must throw it away and dance on the edges of your intuition. This was true in a different line of work for the 20th century’s great abstract visual artists, such as Pollock and Dali, who knew quite well how to...

What better way to combine Science Fiction, Gnosticism and Utopianism than an examination of the channeled text titled The Urantia Book . After looking into the subject of Urantia and Gnosticism intricately, I believe that the Urantia Papers form a guide book to the Aquarian Age. One hint being that the Urantia Book presents a scientific, evolutionary, and planetary context for human life thereby appealing to the modern minds of post-Enlightenment thinking well positioned for the technological accelerationism of the Age of Aquarius. Another hint being that Urantia means "(y)our place in the heavens'' derived from the Greek Uranos (meaning heavenly) which is also the origin name for the planet Uranus. Which happens to be the ruling planet of the astrological sign of Aquarius. It seems to signify that when Uranus rules fully over the Age of Aquarius the planet itself will lend its name to the Heavenly Ice Giant and Master of the Winds.  The Aquarian Age that we are ...
