Humanity Sentenced To Life 2150AD: Humanity sentenced to life Even the condemned have dreams for their offspring Earth a penal colony Part VII of VII
...We are falling into the very depths of corruption our original forefathers had planned so diligently to avoid. Our forefathers hid skeletons in the closet in the hopes that future generations would not fall into the same behavior patterns they had taken. We open the closet in the hopes of finding our true purpose in reality and find what we fear most. We find ourselves. We are unable to rationalize a philosophy strong enough to raise us above who we were in the past. Due to a small-minded philosophy, we find truth in the statement, “Like father, like son.

...Ah, but sadly, we are not ready for such an exciting, inspiring existence. Our perception of ourselves as servants inferior to our Creator has taken on too strong a hold and we reject our potential as an equal to God. We are not ready to take on responsibility of this magnitude. We are too unsure of ourselves. We cannot shake the fear of the eternal hell we may face for wanting to reevaluate our place in reality. We cannot shake the fear, handed down throughout all of our earthly existence, that if we release our attitude of subjugation to our Creator, we will bring on a punishment of eternal fire and damnation through seeking the truth which could eliminate violence and fear. In the year 2150 A.D., we have found we originate from a violent past and, as such, are unable to shake off our natural inheritance. We now find we are nothing other than a race, a species, of rejects. We are offspring of violent incorrigibles. We might as well resign ourselves to a future of violence and move on to the future, carrying violence with us, for we have discovered our past before we were ready. Existing in a juvenile state, we are unwilling to accept our responsibility within reality and look at our true source of origin. We become resigned to our genetic past of violence. How sad for us, how sad for future generations to come, how sad for those with whom we shall come in contact, for we have evolved more technologically than philosophically, and this has made all the difference. We are not yet ready to accept our significance in eternity. We cling to our status of servitude, conflict, and violence. We carry these very traits into the heavens and earth now becomes the exporter of what forced our banishment to a primitive planet in the first place. Earth is now in a position of exporting concepts of individual worth of one over another, status levels, manipulation of others for the “greater good,” violence, subjugation, and conflict.

Humanity Sentenced To Life 2150AD: Humanity sentenced to life Even the condemned have dreams for their offspring Earth a penal colony Part V of VII
...Humans ride the tides of time like surfers in a storm. This year brings with it new insights; people are violent because they have violence in their genes. Within fifty years, the theory generated by cytologists and geneticists that humankind is a hybrid of earth genes and extraterrestrial genes starts to crumble. As much as humankind wishes to breathe a sigh of relief, it cannot for anthropologists and archeologists have uncovered some fascinating finds. Atlantis has been found and, with it, some ill-preserved records and specimens of her occupants. Over the next ten years, through technological ingenuity and DNA analysis, the true story of our origin begins to unfold. Humans, it appears, are not in any way native to earth. The archeological findings indicate that we were brought to earth fifteen thousand years ago. Computer analysis, although incomplete and based upon revolutionary new but untested computer models, shows with a large degree of certainty that the cytology theory had some validity but was incorrect in its perception of people as a genetic hybrid of alien and earth life forms. In fact, we appear to be alien to earth, originating totally outside the earth’s environs.

...And yet we have an option; we can eliminate this stigmatizing, degrading, shallow-minded philosophy of theism. We have the choice; we could choose to elevate our purpose within reality to a new level that would rationalize a positive significance for ourselves in reality, capable of withstanding any startling unexpected turn of events regarding anything we discover, conceive or confront. The only exception would be us finding actual proof that we were truly supposed to be insignificant. This is a proof, however, which would never be accepted by us regardless of its validity, for we are ingenious and original enough to find a means of rationalizing our way out of even a paradox of that nature. But now, in the year 2150 A.D., we find we are unable to release ourselves of fifteen thousand years of traditional servitude and inferiority. We remain subservient and subjugated because of a philosophy generated as an intentional action directed towards keeping our shame hidden away in a closet. We find that not only do individuals within our ranks keep skeletons hidden in the closet, but that our entirety as a species is oriented around the false premise that we, earthlings, were created by God. This concept comes crumbling down like an antiquated skyscraper subjected to the expertise of an explosive expert. We open our closet only to find a hidden skeleton, none other than what we have been seeking throughout existence. We seek to uncover the mystery of our origination. We seek our biological origin and are confronted with the most frightening of all nightmares: we are criminals, rejects of a society. We are an unwanted element. Our origin has been sealed away in a closet by our own biological parents acting out of shame and out of fear that future generations may not be able to rise above their historical roots of violence.
