“There is a demon behind all of this, manipulating us. It is an invisible and nameless demon that is trying to eat our souls.”
A Venusian beam of consciousness effecting life on Earth is sort of a plot device to illustrate a possession. In the old days people got possessed by Earthly demons. Today, post Galileo, we can imagine a demonic being from another planet or galaxy.
The point at which Eukaryotes appeared is one of the more significant steps in life on Earth and seemed like a reasonable place to start this possession.
Life on Earth, for 1-2 billion years was Prokaryotic or bacterial. Then something occurred that began the development of more complex life forms that would progress from forms such as amoebas and algae to cockroaches and redwood trees and humans. This prokaryote/eukaryote info is from ACQUIRING GENOMES by Lynn Margulis and Dorian Sagan. ACQUIRING GENOMES is the scientific forefront of understanding origin of species. It is fascinating.
Considering where we are now. That force that has guided life from bacteria to 7 billion humans and the 6th great extinction could be seen as a demon or as the more contemporary form of demon….. An Extraterrestrial Invasion. Only this invasion from outer space is not physical creatures from another planet but instead it is a beam of consciousness from another planet that turns Earthlings into avitars, doing the work of creating Venus like conditions on Earth. Earthlings don’t consciously think that they are turning Earth into another Venus, they just keep on breeding and consuming and burning everything they can get their hands on.
Actually we don’t need a Venusian intervention to understand why people today act like they are from another planet. That’s because we are from another planet. Earth 500 years ago was a different planet. That was Earth and this is, as Bill McKibben tells it, Eaarth. Every life form alive today has a genetic memory of 3-4 billion years of successful response. We all come from ancestors who survived a variety of conditions going all the way back to bacteria, but unfortunately for humans, those conditions were nothing like what we have today. Chemicals in the air, water, and food and RF radiation everywhere wasn’t here before…. and then there is the HEAT that’s coming. Now we are in this grand experiment. This experiment will probably show that most life forms cannot adapt to the speed and magnitude of these changes.
The Zombie Apocalypse is not a matter of if…. It’s when?
