Future Past Notes :: Matters @ Heart

Circular Postcard No. 42 | collage 7 pieces | 2014

The INvisible that leads me

to witness, without pre-planning,

to compose, without pre-design,

in synchronous spherical design,

in presence between Earth and Sky

At the Heart of the Matter,

History not cancelled, but truthfully released

Truth not pursued, but accurately self-revealed

within as without

On June 25th, the title of this video captured my attention.

Unbiased by its source/YT channel, unknown to me and unchecked by me, i watched it.

I have never been able to grasp nor have i been interested enough to learn more about these conflicts. Not out of indifference but out of a general sense that history there is rather made of story-telling from all sides, my standpoint never being about taking sides but very much about gravitating to where there is TRUTH to fill-in the gaps of Hi-story. Thus, i sensed that this piece had the potential to offer just that, a concise, and visual (!), comprehension of the matter. And indeed it did.

 Firstly, it offered me a simple but clarifying confirmation for my own inability to relate to the term "Palestinians", the offered term "Arabs" being a lot more self-explanatory, probably to more of us than many would like to admit, objectively speaking.

Secondly, it offered a brief but equally clarifying confirmation that the hyped polarisation around these conflicts, as with many other less explicitly war-like global conflicts at diverse scales, is maintained by the same ready-made ideology-driven self-imposed or self-allowed ignorance of the actual matter.

Thirdly and lastly, i felt i had to go through the comments section of the video (reaching 8,699 in 8 days), including replies, to some extent. There emerges an abundant confirmation of how divided people are by affirming their religious and ideological creeds as their identity and justification to support these and not those. Well, i stopped reading at the point i found the one reply comment that hit the most sensitive point to be noted, particularly the part i highlighted:

"For those of us Americans who consider ourselves to be liberal or progressive on most issues, the aftermath of October 7 has been a learning experience to say the least. At first, it was not easy seeing that the only ones getting things right seemed to be people on the far right whose opinions and beliefs I typically loathe. Now, I understand that for many of them, particularly certain people in Congress who see matters in the context of their Christianity, it is not necessarily because they care about Jews, but that doesn't matter to me right now.

Then you have Jewish people like (...) and (...) and (...) who know the history and support Israel, but who I rarely agree with otherwise. What has become clear to me is this -- ideological purity both on the left and the right is absolute nonsense. Sometimes we CAN agree with people that we usually do not agree with on important issues, particularly when the facts bring us to that agreement. The big problem with the left when it comes to Israel is that at some point someone decided that pretending to care about "Palestinians" is progressive and most of the loudest voices jumped onto that train. They think they are supposed to be guided by empathy for Gazans, people they never gave a moment's thought to before October 7. The few progressive voices who did not fall for the BS have been ostracized and cancelled, which is why some important voices have remained quiet on the matter."

Whether or not mine is an important voice is beside the point, BUT, i do remain quiet until i feel that the view I AM compelled to share can actually shorten the path to PEACE in conflicting matters. If you remember, I AM NOT here to add further karma to this world, I AM here to end it. But NOT as an activist, let alone under any guidance of any self-appointed leaders of organised groups. That is why my attention is driven to certain pieces and matters, most of witch i will not share, but in all of witch i will filter out creeds to release TRUTH, to release the Earth's spheres from unnecessary added burden.

Others do it in their specific fields of action . . .

On the same day, before noticing and watching the above video, i previewed another one, posted that day, reporting the release of the well known Australian journalist set for June 26th after trial, explaining that, despite pleading guilty within the legal system and having already served detention time, he remains morally innocent, as someone who had to break a law to expose the TRUTH about an unLawful act towards the people without their knowledge and consent by the very governing rulers who are expected to act and be accountable for under the very same legal system they represent. This should go without saying, but until governing rulers mirror the true archetype of the KING, someone has to draw the Lawful line wherever legal doesn't, even at the price of being legally treated as outlaw . . .

In my latest May addition to Circle 10, titled "Faits Divers", i mentioned a film festival i was invited to attend. At the closing session something unexpected happened. The projection of the closing film, not part of the competition, was interrupted and ended half way. Because one of its two co-creators from the U.K., who was present at the theatre, couldn't help noticing that some sound technical problem obliterating essential effects intrinsic to the original music score composed by himself were reducing the whole experience of watching the film. It was something imperceptible to anyone in the audience but him, but that was enough for him. After hearing him explain his reason to the audience, the first thing that came to me and i said was "Isso é que é amor à obra!" / "Now that's love for the work!". Because i sensed what he went through to reach that decision, while knowing that that was the only chance to watch his movie for most of us who were there only for the duration of the festival. So that stayed with me. The next day, i saw him at the railway station, taking the same train on the same carriage back to Lisbon as me. What were the odds?! Again, it felt the whole thing was leading me somewhere. Back at home, i researched him in his own context, already having in mind that he told us he was from Edinburgh. Well, Scotland being one of the deep mysteries in my Soul Memory always triggered by time travel, among the films for which he contributed musically, all of which rooted in the Scottish tradition, one stood out - that was the lead:

Outlaw King (2018)

My note written right after watching it (here translated to english):

"I've just watched the film Outlaw King. I had to look away at the barbarity of those times, culminating in the decisive Scottish victory at the Battle of Loudoun (1307). Where there is a tyrant imposing himself, sooner or later he will be defeated, this is always the moral of History, and Scotland has inscribed this insignia with much bloodshed on its land. But the Scottish King's declaration of fight was not for the land but for the people, and that's what united the various Scottish lords in that infernal battle."

In battles, when honourable Chivalry values are devoid and broken by a tyrant and his followers, honourable men become beasts fighting for their people's release from tyranny. Unlike others who become themselves tyrannical under the pretence of such endeavour, these honourable men never lose their humanity, and often bring out the humanity in their misguided opponents. This is how we see where the line is drawn, a line that doesn't divide, but rather initiates true Re-Union.

May the United Kingdom (U.K.) remember and hold its symbol, dissolving any misguided endeavours under any misguiding governing rulers, within Europe and elsewhere in the globe. Brexit was a sign and a first step, do not allow it to be tainted and wasted.

May the European nations remember and hold what Western civilisation is truly about, which is deeply rooted in the Soul of European peoples, before and beyond a so-called European Union (E.U.) acting as a CEO whose main priorities within the market economy strip nations and peoples of their true local wealth and autonomy as a base for true interdependence, NOT co-dependence. Such civilisation is neither about State nor Market, under both of which liberty & democracy, progress & wealth became shadows in an elusive dream, pluralities in frankensteinian assembly lines, ideas packaged in ideologies, intelligences formatted in technologies, a civilisation in lower octave, like sound devoid of Source Resonance and Reverberation . . .

@

. . . hence the need to recalibrate through Sound, as in Barabar chamber, also mentioned in my latest May addition to Circle 10. But there's more to this. I marked and re-watched the last segment of the video that approaches the sound aspect and noted the following quotes:

"So History isn't false but just partial, and relying on it blindly, dangerous."

"Anything that isn't based on proof, i.e. an indisputable fact, is just another belief. Continuing this thought, anything that isn't or hasn't been proven, is therefore always open to question and could potentially be called into question. Practising Decartes' art of the clean slate means not rejecting a hypothesis that you believe to be impossible. Difficult in reality, because we are all, absolutely all, influenced by our beliefs, and not just in the religious world. The belief, for example, that although our human history may contain a few gaps or grey areas, nothing could fundamentally call into question the linear narrative of historical timeline. The belief that the direction of progress is linear from the wheel to smartphones and there couldn't be any other way. The belief that the chambers at Barabar and Nagaijuni have nothing to teach US, the modern inventors of satellites and artificial intelligence. Yet, these chambers appear totally out of place and seem to have a more technical purpose than an artistic or religious one. Wiping the slate clean means accepting that our history may indeed have forgotten part of our past and be open to considering this."

In reality, seen objectively as the sequence of events that took place, with its recognised gaps, History can indeed be 'just partial', but seen subjectively through the various interpretations and conclusions that become official narratives, History can also be false. In any case, definitely unreliable on its own.

What about proofs? Are they the absolute source of truth?

"The absence of proof is not the proof of absence."

This third quote i got from one of their previous films that i went through after Barabar, on the very beginning of June:

• BAM: BUILDERS OF THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES (2019)                            

• Builders of the Ancient Mysteries (another from an additional BAM channel)

• BACK TO BAM (2021)                                  

• BAM ET LES EXTRATERRESTRES : EXPLICATIONS                                  

What i haven't mentioned yet is what came before Barabar, as the reason for this further exploration and quoting - an intriguing video that showed up around 2020 of a movie quite unique in its depicted explanations:

I'm embedding it instead of just linking it to give a first glimpse as it is presented. Best watched in full screen and full HD. Later i found this intro speech to the movie by its producer and director, who is an European from Tirana, Albania living in France. On this intro note, a warning: do not get stuck on common logic alone either . . .

I couldn't help evoking this movie while watching the Barabar film, and although i didn't recall seeing Barabar chamber included in it, i already knew by myself that its construction was moulded, not carved or cut. My point in sharing Barabar was about its function, not its building technique, hence the focus on the marked last segment of the video that approaches Sound. But, after all the BAM retro exploration in order to see how far they had gone in their investigations, i had to go back and re-watch this movie. And there was Barabar, moulded, just like i had envisioned it, the external elongated rock over and around it being clearly not part of the natural site if looked with unbiased eyes and an accurate sense of scale.

It is not another belief, it is an undeniable evidence. But because we have all been trained to deny our own full senses and instead accept established versions as truth, this evidence is not even considered as common observation by most historians, archaeologists and related specialists. At best, they consider it and classify it as unknown. While watching this movie, one may still question the processes by which the moulding was made, but no one can question that these seamless stones and other precisely designed stone constructions found around the world exhibit the same kind of technique that doesn't fit into historical narratives. Yet, once these are put aside, the explanation can be as simple as recognising what rock and stone are - cooled mineral composites. This should be enough for a start. It is fact and common knowledge on planet Earth. Another matter depicted in the movie concerns the evolution of Egyptian measuring systems leading to the invention of metric system, which history attributes to a French man. Perhaps the French origin of the producers of BAM films is what is conditioning them, holding back and slowing down their investigations. Well, back then i did the water drop test myself and can attest that, if done under the same controlled conditions, it is accurate, precise and repeatable, the very constant requisites that constitute the scientific method. I didn't do the stone melting test with a lens under the sun, and i suspect it wouldn't work here, but having partially crossed a Moroccan desert by car during Summer time, i can attest for the Sun heat there. Seeing it tested in the movie would have been a visual plus.

So in this re-watch, it was unexpected to hear Jayan Films (BAM) mentioned for censoring clips from their films previously included in this movie as a means of comparative analysis. After my first watch those years ago i did notice that this movie was removed from YT and then the movie producer and director explained it was due to copyright issues, which he resolved by removing those clips and re-uploading the video, but by then i had not yet come across the BAM films. What is obvious now is that the movie still refers to them but they still don't refer to the movie, meaning that a disagreement is still preventing these people from working together towards their common goal of contributing to truthfully release History.

Beyond common logic . . .

Deeper layers start to unveil about the builders of the ancient mysteries

as soon as humanity recalibrates to higher octave civilisation,

releasing another set of Laws to decode and raise reality to next level.

What was once hidden from humanity, was forgotten, but not lost.

As they say, it is hidden in plain sight, for the Eye within to See . . .

The spirit of builders lives in African architecture at very diverse scales and traditions across the continent, where the character of the African peoples needs to be preserved locally and collectively. Last year i was joyfully moved to watch a presentation by an African architect from Burquina Faso who was clearly destined to leave his family, village and country, not to migrate, but to study in Europe, only to go back and show his people and the world why and how

African architecture should stop copying the West

He is an inspiring faithful embodiment of what he stands for and builds, with a clear and vivid vision of what are and what aren't the priorities. With an unmistakable sense of commitment and belonging to his origins, he fulfils his duty knowing that the wealth of his people can't be measured by Western standards. What the West can do for him, for his people, for the peoples of Africa is neither through self-serving AID propaganda nor mass migration, but by knowing and making known his work. So here are a few suggestions among the many that can be found, all of which are self-illustrating:

• Website   

• Gando, Burkina Faso - his practice, legacy, essence of living

• On the impact of architecture   

• Relevance of Place (notice statement at the end)

• World class architecture, mudbrick by mudbrick

On a contrasting note, also last year i watched the film "Io Capitano" (2023), based on true events, where a Senegalese boy and his cousin decided to migrate illegally and planned to secretly leave their family and village to travel across the African continent and reach Europe by sea, without suspecting the scale of life-threatening conditions they would undergo and endure, from desert, to human trafficking, to inhuman and cruel treatment, to the risky crossing of the Mediterranean Sea aboard an overcrowded boat that he was tasked to navigate without skills. I was sincerely moved by this boy, who ultimately and deservedly achieved the self-acclaimed title of I Captain. However, as much as this film puts us vividly and sensitively inside that side of events, i did NOT see it and am NOT sharing it as a refugee case. No. This person made a choice and a decision to follow it through, despite having been warned how misguided a choice that was. Nevertheless, how he dealt with it all is what matters here. Otherwise, to anyone arriving at my home with the intention to stay and expecting me to provide them with accommodation and sustenance without me having a say in it, the first thing i might ask is

 "What are you doing here and why?"

On this matter, let me be clear.

I am NOT privileged for being so-called white, or so-called Western, or so-called European, or so-called Portuguese or whatever 'identity trait' one may come up with to consider me such, regardless of the fact that i live with much less financial resources than most, migrant or local.

I AM PRIVILEGED to serve and to honour ANYONE who adds TRUE VALUE to HUMANITY, within the spheres each of us came assigned and equipped to serve Here, with a frequently common trait of enthusiastically and creatively making the most with the least and making the ordinary extraordinary in the course of accomplishing the necessary.

I browsed my bookmarks and memories to include here a few other African references showing how Africans can and do stand up for themselves in exemplary ways, both to Western peoples who still fail to take stands in several serious matters, and especially to African peoples who still believe they need to either come to Western countries to look up and live up to Western standards through mass migration, OR stay in their countries as poor, exploited and helpless peoples. All sides are accountable. Invariably, mass migration is never a solution. With all due exceptions as with any human being, Africans are not refugee cases by default, rather, they are typical cases of illiteracy not being equivalent to ignorance by default, especially by comparison with fully educated Western people who keep acting in ignorance.

Africans are on their way to rebirth.

• South Africans react (2020+) (EN subs.) | Sul-Africanos reagem (2020+) (legendas PT)

• Ghanaian woman author documentary (1987 + narration voiced over in 2020) | Website 

• Sierra Leonean teenage prodigy innovator, inventor, DJ (2012)   

• Senegalese - "I Bring What I Love - New Africa" (song) | Documentary trailer (2008)  

If religions alone were a cure, we would be in a very different place since millennia.

At their worse, they are used to divide, oppress and destroy through endless wars, state regimes and ideologically imposed migration. At their best, they are the very evidence of the necessity to transcend religious and ideological creeds towards the ONE Source idol-less spirituality, through direct contact with and embodiment of Source Consciousness within. All of Humanity will eventually go through this transition, consciously growing in maturity, releasing and healing the past and moving forward.

Can we all restart by taking care of our own HOME,

as individuals, families, communities, peoples, nations,

as true HUMAN inhabitants of Earth?
