WEEK 2- EVO DEVO

WEEK 2: EVO-DEVO

Post your thoughts on Evolution-Development

            I see some absurdity in the fact that- throughout these dark ages known as Kali Yuga- that humanity has single-handedly managed to catalyze the extinction and endangerment of so many animals, destroyed ecosystems that had a natural and functioning balance, polluted the air and the ozone- and now- through human ingenuity during the dawn of the Age of Aquarius- the supposed beginning of the Golden Age- we are now trying to undo or at least moderate the negative effects we have had on the environment due to our consumption/pollution. Would we really need laboratory grown kidneys if we ate healthy organic food and lived lives of less stress that are out of balance and disconnected from nature?

How does Darwinism matter to me?

A very advanced healer friend of mine told me that there were many advanced adults of the Indigo child generation who felt very hopeless about that future of the Earth- and as a result- she was having to convince a number of these spiritually advanced adults not to have abortions when they got pregnant. The state of Earth and multiple collapsing ecosystems and irreparable pollution do seem to add up to a grim view of the future on Earth…not to mention the coming Ice age, possible future water and food shortages, etc.. But how sad would it be if the only people reproducing were the ignorant and unawake and that these were the only people who were the parents of future generations?

            David Wilcock- who is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce- talks about a documented jump room with advanced technology that is able to take people to Mars. Through the use of the jump room, there are now colonies of humans on Mars. I believe he said they live in buildings built below the surface of the planet. Certain factions of people in charge know that the Earth is a sinking ship- and the elite have ear-marked and trained some of the best and brightest of humanity to be able to permanently flee to Mars and continue the human race if there is indeed world-wide calamity on Earth which could happen due to any number of natural disasters. If that is the case- then the some of the best traits physically and intellectually would be continued in this homosapien experiment albeit on Mars- which of course sounds on the outer edges of acceptable reality. But anything is possible.

Thoughts on one of the links:

While Darwin believed that slight variations in the species contributed to hereditable traits that were passed down and contributed to gradual change, Bateson believed that bigger mutations were responsible for evolution. Although there was much discord between these two philosophical camps, there was even more scape-goating that evolutionary scientists received from Christians for straying from the philosophy of Creationism. Eventually- Darwin’s notion that acquired traits during an animal’s lifetime would be passed down was rejected. For instance- a lizard that had it’s tail ripped off wouldn’t have offspring that lacked tails.

Week 1: Our Biological World

Week 1: Our Biological World

Erin is a tantric yogini, reiki master, crystal healer/jewelry maker, creative androgenieass, Star-clad Goddess of Sex & Death, Vajrayana Buddhist, and- on a side note- believes Christ was a Pleiadian. Erin’s kundalini fully rose at 29 and opened up multi-dimensional awareness and her ability as an empathic healer, mystic, masseus, and magician (both sex magic, wicca, and life as a magical practice) with keen insight into human psychology, the ability to read people, and a novel approach to combining yoga asanas and chakra sounds in order activate all chakras, including the sex and throat chakras.

After suffering her first clinical depression during Ivy League prep school a few years after her father was murdered, she threw herself into alternative healing, yoga, and completely broke with tradition by throwing wild, social deprogramming parties incorporating performance art and public chaos magic. In the process, she became a sexual performance artist, clownarchist, goth opera singer, and galactic rockstar advocate for the presence of starseeds like herself (akin to David Bowie’s mission back in the day).

In an unexpected twist of fate, Erin became the infamously reknown anarchist queen of the L.A. Underground social punk movement and was known to her fans and friends as “Log.” She had a Voodoo Zombie performance art wedding with her ex-husband “Toylit,” aka James Mathers, whose claim to fame was as Andy Warhol’s muse back in NYC. Together, Toylit and Log threw a series of avant-garde punk performance art nightclubs called “The Never Ending Costume Party” and “Timeship Medusa,” and multi-media interactive Dadaist poetry events. Toylit and Log also co-authored a series of Dadaist poetry books called “Crap Poetry,” a literary bowel movement of the ages.

A near death episode at 27 promptly forced Erin to change her crazy rockstar life and she moved to Tucson Arizona to heal for 3 years before re-locating to San Francisco. Her healing practices deepened and broadened during this time as she went from being a kids’ yoga dance teacher and rockstar, to not being able to walk a city block for 5 months with an unexpectedly long recovery time which continues to this day.

While attending acupuncture school part-time, Erin is currently working on a film blog, “New Age Gangsta,” and recording two E.P.s: one for M.O.M: Mutant Orgy Manual, and the other an album of classical inspired gothic/alien piano and opera compositions. She’s working the doctor diva duality.

Class Discussion: It is no wonder during our introductions that I got embarrassed when my classmate introduced me as being from L.A.- considering that L.A. is the narcissistic wound of the planet- and has quite possibly- the poorest air quality in North America. However- besides the vapid cultural context of L.A.- known to some residents as Hell Lay- it comes as no surprise to me that L.A. ranked number 1 in the cities polluted by ozone. After living in Tucson Arizona for about a year, I came back to visit L.A. via Amtrak and noticed a palpable difference in the air quality the second I stepped off the train and into the downtown L.A. station. I thought to myself, “No wonder I became so sick living in air quality like this.” I wouldn’t be surprised if- in the future- L.A. becomes the Number One city for artificially grown Lung implants.
