Resurrection of Lemuria

Resurrection of Lemuria
In ancient times, Lemurian people were the embodiment of the Yin, while The Lost City of Atlantis people were the embodiment of the Yang. Yin and Yang are the femininity and masculinity that together make an Archangel—a being that is not male or female—but, both sexes. The concept of both sexes being seen as one is not exclusive, for example, Plato stated, "…constituted by the union of the male and the female: but now only the word ‘androgynous’ is preserved…” (Plato 523). Femininity is compassion, gentleness, loving creativity, kind empowerment, and mystical imagination. Masculinity is assertiveness, determination, will power, and strength. It’s important to recognize that females and males both share traits of femininity and masculinity. The connection between the feminine Lemurian principles of empowerment through creativity in the modern world can be seen in the movies Interstellar, Another Earth, and the book Miracles Now by Gabrielle Bernstein.
An essential element to understanding the feminine Lemurian principle of empowerment through creativity is that Lemuria existed thousands of years ago in an era of spiritual enlightenment. Lemuria focused on compassion and love and was expressed through the arts. It is relevant to remember the lost knowledge of Lemuria because currently the world is undergoing a spiritual awakening. The Age of Enlightenment or The Golden Age is a resurrection of Lemuria. The Lemurian principle of empowerment through creativity will be expressed in greater amounts now than ever before because the world is transitioning from an era of violence, pollution, aggression, and accumulation of wealth to a time of compassion and love.
The 2014 movie Interstellar uses deep philosophical and imaginative theories to encourage others to open their mind to possibilities outside the mainstream. For example, “Not you and me, People. A civilization that has evolved past the fourth dimensions we know”, is a quote from Interstellar that communicates the ideas that there are future versions of people that exist in a reality beyond their comprehension level.
 … Every movement is infinity complex. They have access to infinite time and space but they aren’t bound by anything. They can’t find a particular place in time that they can communicate. That’s why I’m here.   I’m going to find a way to tell Murphy… How Copper…Love…my connection to Murphy is quantifiable. It’s the key (Interstellar).
This theory of love being the measurable energy that can transcend dimensions and realities that humans know can be seen in the Lemurian’s understanding of dimensions and how peace through relaxing in creativity is the key to accessing those dimensions beyond the physical plane.
The theory of a connection shared by two or more and how it can transport one person to meet the other in a different dimension follows the Lemurian teaching of love being the cord that can cross dimensions. Therefore, according to this theory, space and time that is perceived as a limitation to current day science is not a limitation. Love is how a person accesses another dimension. This theory than communicates that science is only relevant to this dimension. The unknown energy of a connection can move to areas beyond what science can. Love is a compass that a person floating in an endless void can use to create a map. It’s like sending out a signal into space. There needs to be a point of destination for the signal to be received. Even if a person does not know the destination, love guides the beam that is streaming through space, pin pointing it to a being that person shares love with, bridging one world to another. The main character realizes that the alien beings that were guiding him were future versions of the present day people, for example, “There not beings there us” (Nolan). This theory showcases that there are future versions of people that are connecting with the present day people providing the current day individuals with information on how to best help the planet evolve. All of these theories in the movie Interstellar showcase the feminine Lemurian principle of empowerment through creativity by its way of challenging viewers to contemplate life more thoroughly.
The 2011 movie Another Earth shows Rhoda [main character] experiencing a voyage that follows the feminine Lemurian teaching of self-healing after killing a man’s family in a car accident while under the influence. “Let me tell you a story; it’s about a girl. She does something unforgiveable. She goes to apologize, but she loses her nerve. She lies to him. She thinks she might be able to make his life a little bit better. It was really just a way to survive what I have done” (Cahill), this quote communicates that The Golden Age is about healing past wounds that eat away at a person’s tense heart. Rhoda’s voyage back to self-love was intense because she had to learn to accept the things she’s done. Her journey relates to the feminine Lemurian principle of empowerment through creativity because empowerment is about death and rebirth. For Rhoda to be reborn again she must let go of the self-hatred she’s let consume her and challenge herself to reprogram her self-hatred to self-love. Self-hatred must die for self-love to be reborn. Forgiveness is another theme in the movie that is seen in the Lemurian culture. To be empowered is to be uplifted from the illusions that a person is not worthy of forgiveness.
Gabrielle Bernstein uses feminine Lemurian empowerment through creativity to help transform the planet. She writes in her book that light workers are guides sent to the planet to help others step away from judgments towards themselves and others, fear that leads to victim mentality, and being closed off to new perspectives. She seeks to encourage others to embrace peace by being compassionate and loving towards themselves and others, For example, “There is a massive call for more light workers… when the masses begin to vibrate with an energy of love, the world will no longer be a container for war, violence, and lies” (Bernstein). Gabrielle Bernstein provides a futuristic prediction of the world if people continue down the path of seeing themselves as separate from others. Segregating oneself from others creates competition, feelings of being alone due to isolation, and an unwillingness to share ideas outside a person’s group.
Gabrielle Bernstein recognizes that self-hatred is seen when people try to put others down by making them feel unworthy or discouraging them, which in turn leads to arguments between individuals or groups of people over one’s own self-worth. For example, “…when we function from a fearful, low-level energetic state, our thoughts and energy can literally pollute the world” (Bernstein). A final piece of Gabrielle Bernstein’s work that corresponds with the Lemuria teachings is that positivity is the only way to empower others to love themselves and others, for example, “…now is our time to rise up and bring more positivity to the world” (Bernstein).
The resurrection of Lemuria can reestablish a world of harmony and a community of peace. A spiritual awakening that is in response to the resurrection of Lemuria is a revelation that there is something out there beyond what the physical senses can perceive. This revelation leads to internal chaos because everything that was once said to be real no longer is valid. The world around a person undergoing a spiritual awakening pulsates in and out of two realities. These two realities are the reality of the real world and the reality of the world that transcends the real world.
Based on theories that are circling in the community of creative minds, Indigo Children, Crystal Children, and Rainbow Children will become the founding fathers of the return of The Age of Enlightenment or The Golden Age (Virtue). The Golden Age is in response to the voyage a person takes while remembering Lemuria. These gifted children will be born with a deep remembrance of Lemuria and will integrate Lemuria into the world. These children are not yet born in the masses, so the adults are holding the space for their arrival by empowering others to remember Lemuria. By doing this, they are encouraging others to be wiser and to make love a priority. The movies Interstellar, Another Earth, and the book Miracles Now by Gabrielle Bernstein give proof that Lemuria is returning.

Awakening the Inner Orca in Everyone

Awakening the Inner Orca in Everyone
“The decision to end SeaWorld’s iconic killer whale shows and stop breeding the animal follows years of controversy over the company’s practices” (Worland). The integrity of SeaWorld is in question for having given false information to the mass media about various accidents and deaths at SeaWorld. Recently, decline in attendance has led to an “11% decline in shares in 2015” (Cathaleen Chen Staff). SeaWorld is a billion dollar corporation with the façade that its mission it to educate, rescue, and rehabilitate. Unfortunately, no funds go towards building a coastal sea reserve for the rehabilitation of marine mammals in their parks. Rehabilitation is the future for SeaWorld once it can put aside its money accumulating capitalist priority. The Blackfish documentary caused people to question the humanity of life in captivity for orcas, created an awareness of the orca’s empathy/spiritual nature, and decreased interest in theatrical orca shows.
People wonder if life in captivity is humane. SeaWorld continues to present the illusion that orcas live longer in captivity than in the wild. Previously oblivious people are now forced to look at the facts of orcas well-being in captivity because of the mass media attention. People are beginning to recognize that orcas are intelligent and possibly have a heightened capacity for compassion humans may not possess. According to a neurologist presented in the film Blackfish killer whales have a part of the brain humans do not that is connected to emotional sensitivity. John Hargrove, an ex-trainer at SeaWorld and now an activist for orca well-being, in many interviews has spoken about orca inbreeding and mother orcas rejecting their calves because of this. Unnatural grouping of the animals has taken place since the beginning of the theatrical orca shows. This has led to aggression and tension because of the differences in orca culture. Scientists presented in the film Blackfish have analyzed orcas in the wild and have found that each pod has a unique language, social interaction, and identity, as a culture. Image a group of devoted Christians and atheists are forced to live in the same household for their entire lives. There would be tension because of the culture differences. Aggression turned into violence has been seen in history between religious groups all too well.
People now see orcas as empathic and with a spiritual nature. John Hargrove at a conference in Seattle, WA USA speaks of a story that provides behavioral insight on Orcas capacity for compassion. When he became injured while performing a trick with an orca improperly, he was unable to swim out of the tank. The orca recognized his injury immediately while eco-locating around his body. The orca concerned for his well-being performed a trick like moreover, that was not taught to the orca, to get him out of the water to safety. The grace and gentleness the orca showed him proves to John that orcas are compassionate. Protesters with PETA interrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in 2014 by holding signs that said “SeaWorld Hurts Orcas.” Harry Styles, a band member of “One Direction” in four words caused a massive drop in sales at SeaWorld when he said “Don’t go to SeaWorld” at a concert. Activism shown by groups of people is the greatest example of how people now see orcas as deserving happiness because they have a spiritual nature similar to humans that value love, family, and support. For example, Orca children never leave their mother's side for their entire lives, which is a similar characteristics of human nature.
People are no longer interested in theatrical orca shows. Protection Act of 1972 states the condition of being able to keep the orca theatrical shows in the parks is it must be used for educational purposes. SeaWorld has been using education as a cover-up for the shows to make profit. “Since the 1985 birth of Baby Shamu, the first orca born in SeaWorld Park, 30 have been raised completely in the parks. SeaWorld announced that it would replace its signature Shamu shows in San Diego with an exhibit focused on conservation” (Cathaleen Chen Staff), is an example of the turning of events led by much pressure placed on SeaWorld to change. Humane Society of the United States is requiring SeaWorld change its policies, for example, Wayne Pacelle (President/ CEO of The Humane Society of the United States) states his concerns in the following, “We haven’t viewed it as appropriate to capture the animal from the wild or to breed them in captivity and then have them do these theatrical shows. We are really concerned that in that sort of environment it’s just not stimulating enough.” Another example of the changes occurring within people discussed by spokesmen for the general public, “It’s clear where public opinion is… The writing is on the wall, and it’s time for them to stop fighting and evolve.” In the following is from a recently published SeaWorld commercial “The world has changed. SeaWorld has changed too. This will be the last generation of orcas at SeaWorld. No more breeding. SeaWorld has heard you” (SeaWorld).
The results of public outcry for change led to, “The California coastal Commission has banned the breeding of orcas in SeaWorld, as a condition on the approval of $100 million expansion of the tanks to house the marine mammals in SeaWorld’s San Diego facility…The commission attached several other conditions to the approval of SeaWorld’s Blue World expansion in San Diego, including one that no new whale from the wild will be kept there” (John).
SeaWorld says that the company wishes to focus more on rescue operations. John Hargrove believes that it’s inhumane to take a whale out of its natural habit just so humans can better understand the animal. It can be seen similar to taking a child with a unique disorder from his/her family and placing the child in a facility so scientists can study the child. That would be considered inhumane. SeaWorld has no intention to spend its money on building rehabilitation centers for their marine mammals. They continue to make profit off of the exploitation of marine mammals. “…so that the thousands of stranded marine mammals like dolphins and sea lions that cannot be released back  the wild will have a place to go” (Born to be Free Foundation), is SeaWorld stating that it does not wish to stop making money off of the animals. Rehabilitation is the answer to health and well-being of the orcas, but SeaWorld resists.
It is apparent that the general public yearns for orcas to live free, as it is evidenced by reactions to SeaWorld after the 2013 release of Blackfish. Not only are people questioning marine mammals in captivity but all animals, “SeaWorld’s pledge comes exactly a year after the circus company the Ringling Barnum and Bailey Circus promised to phase out its elephant acts by 2018, citing a “mood shift among customers” (Cathaleen Chen Staff). Changes are happening because people are not letting propaganda to distract them from the truth. People are investigating the truth for themselves and are leaning more towards rehabilitation rather than expansion of SeaWorld tanks,
“Following a campaign in 2010, spearheaded by the Born Free foundation and a local network of concerned individuals known as the Dolphin Angels, Tom and Misha were rescued and re-homed to a specially constructed sea-pen, in partnership with Turkish HGO, S.A.D., where they underwent an extensive programme of rehabilitation prior to their release on 9th May 2012” (Born to be Free Foundation), to be free is the best medication for orcas.
