Message>>I think this kind of technology is only possible when our society is ready to accomodate it.<<
I've been thinking about that and am not sure if it's true now...
Is it consciousness that changes technology or technology that causes change in cosciousness?
Throughout human history it is new technology that has created the huge societal paradigm shifts (think agriculture (bronze) - industrial revolution - information age etc)
I'm betting that tribes in olden times didn't have to change their consciousness to start farming - farming happpened and so they went for it. Same with the industrial revolution, people didn't have to slowly become accustomed to the idea that steam power can do a lot of the work for them - someone invented it and it just happened.
But now we all feel the friction of the world - the friction is creating this heat that's sparking off a change in consicousness - the whole "the secret" abundance type stuff coming out - all these old spiritual systems are coming out of the shadows - all these potential technologies for energy production springing up (and being witnessed via the net) all over the world.
Some people thought that this whole global warming and 'being green' business would create an opening for this new consciousness - but if you live in europe you know that this green issue has just become another huge industry making billions. (and it's all made up)
A free energy device would certainly challenge our hoarding impulse... and conversely a change in our hoarding behaviour would create the space for a free energy device to manifest.
So we're in a unique situation in our history (I bet everyone said that in the past lol) - what does everyone think? how is it gonna go?
