Hominoids, evolution, and us (video)

Science vs. science: We did not evolve by gradual transition as we are taught (26:50).

Human origins? Everything we are told is wrong. But science and truth will surface.

 

The revolving evolving theory (RU)

(Nov. 2011) Lecturer Lloyd Pye puts it all together -- human origins and who we are as a species. Pye explains, with an amazing degree of scientific certainty, the four types of hominids on the Earth today (their archeological lines and distribution on the planet). Why has Wisdom Quarterly been talking about cryptozoology, "forbidden" archeology, ancient Indian and Sumerian mythology, or any other "outlandish" topic? We dare to question, to find in these verboten topics something about ourselves as earthling human beings. There are other kinds of humans, as we have pointed out before. But it will be a long time before mainstream science will admit its biases, errors, and cover-ups.

Hominoids (primates, prehumans): Yetis (upper montane, Himalayan range), Sasquatches (lower montane forests generally peaceful, probably omnivorous mainly-plant eaters, to be distinguished from cannibals, which Native Americans and Forest Service anthropologist Kathy Moskowitz Strain call "Hairy Man" and consider human), Almas (lower montane, possibly remnant Neanderthals, a human species surviving in Southern Russia and Western China), and Agogwes or the pygmies of the group mainly residing in jungles (South America [duende?], Africa, Indonesia). Where this would leave Australia's Yowie/Yahoo is unclear, but it is described as a Sasquatch by Aboriginals down under.

All of these "ogres" may be described by the general Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain term "yaksha" (yakshi, yakkha, yakshasa, rakshasa) -- intelligent brutes and beasts living apart from humans. The most famous is featured in the texts by the name of the Yakkha Alavaka. Yakkhas are cannibalistic hominoid* creatures so crafty and mean that the term is often simply translated as "demon." This is not to suggest that they are actually "demons" (titans, hellions) or devils, but simply brutally callous to human suffering.

The Buddha and the ogre (yakkha) Alavaka

The closest Buddhism comes to a "creation myth" is the arrival of advanced life forms on Earth (Bhumi) from space/sky (akasha deva loka) or "the heavens," a celestial plane. They then devolve into us, "Man." Interestingly, the word for the human realm is manusya-loka. This is gleaned from the Aggañña Sutra. What most fail to notice is that this discourse, often translated as "A Buddhist Genesis," does not talk about how life or existence originated. The story is about how "human" or humanoid life arrives on this planet cyclically. This did not happen one time; it happens over and over. The Buddha is famous for using Vedic lore and popular conceptions, imbuing them with a lesson, a parable of sorts. The sutra is very general and covers spans of time only Michael Cremo could countenance because ancient Indian time is measured in great aeons (maha kalpas), ages (kalpas), and epochs, which are indeterminate periods of time too large to measure and staggering to contemplate.
 

We are lied to about our origins on Earth

*HOMINOID: Some or all hominoids are also called "apes" [humans being the "naked ape" according to Desmond Morris; see below]. However, "ape" is used in different senses. It has been used as a synonym for "monkey" or for any tailless primate with a humanlike appearance. So the Barbary macaque, a kind of monkey, is popularly called the "Barbary ape" to indicate its lack of a tail. Biologists have used "ape" to mean a member of the superfamily Hominoidea other than humans, or more recently to mean all members of the superfamily Hominoidea, so that "ape" becomes another word for "hominoid." See Primate: Historical and modern terminology.

(Nov. 2013) The SciShow (Subbable, Facebook, Tumblr) explains where this over-simplified "March of Progress" magazine image of Darwin's evolution comes from. The scientist who used it was not confused, but we have been led to take this literally. What is it actually supposed to mean?

The truth is much stranger than fiction.

We may be related to the "apes," but we did not evolve on Earth as they did. Archeologist Michael Cremo has found and presented evidence for the extreme antiquity of "modern" humans (Homo sapien sapiens). We are far older than 120,000 years, far older than 1,000,000 years, older than 100,000,000 years... How is this possible? What was here, what has been here and come to its demise, did not evolve from the popular fossil record many scientists use to theorize our origins on the planet. Evolution is occurring; this is not a fundamentalist Christian argument. But, as Cremo points out, we are currently devolving. Intentional genetic manipulation made us who we are, as Pye describes, and as the historical record from ancient Sumer and Egypt documents.

 

The Naked Ape

Naked Ape (amazon.com)

"A startling view of man [modern humans, the Homo sapien sapiens], stripped of the facade we try so hard to hide behind." In view of [hu]man's awesome creativity and resourcefulness, we may be inclined to regard [ourselves] as descended from the angels, yet, in his brilliant study, Desmond Morris reminds us that man is relative to the apes -- is in fact, the greatest primate of all. With knowledge gleaned from primate ethnology, zoologist Morris examines sex, child-rearing, exploratory habits, fighting, feeding, and much more to establish our surprising bonds to the animal kingdom and add substance to the discussion that has provoked controversy and debate the world over. Natural History Magazine praised The Naked Ape as "stimulating... thought-provoking... [Morris] has introduced some novel and challenging ideas and speculations." "He minces no words," said Harper's.  "He lets off nothing in our basic relation to the animal kingdom to which we belong... He is always specific, startling, but logical." More

Why Wisdom Quarterly covers "strange" topics

Ever wonder why Wisdom Quarterly discusses such "silly" and "senseless" topics as mythology, science, religion(s), devas, extraterrestrials, UFOs (vimanas), heavens (worlds in space), Himalayan Yetis, Pacific Northwestern Sasquatches, giants, monsters, "magic," DMT, yoga, the Vedas, and the like? (See second video below).

It is a good question best answered by Dr. Michael Cremo, who appeared last night on Coast to Coast's 550+ stations across the U.S. talking about all of these and more -- placing them in a coherent structure or cosmology. Buddhist cosmology is very similar to Vedic/Brahminical Hindu cosmology. The historical Buddha was born into a cultural context, the post Indus River Valley Civilization, likely the oldest in the world.


(Russell Scott) "My Science, My Religion" with Forbidden Archaeologist Michael A. Cremo

Coming soon: Nirvana for Dummies

What he addressed, whether confirming or restoring to its correct interpretation, is a view of our universe -- a universe of ETs, shapeshifting light beings, giants, monsters, heavenly planets, other dimensions, magical psychic powers, lost worlds, and so on.

(Or it may be a "multiverse" if all of the dense physical worlds are one universe, the Sensual Sphere, all the subtle material worlds another, the Fine Material Sphere, and all the formless a third universe, the Immaterial Sphere).

In the Kalama Sutra, the Buddha explains why there's no need to argue about faith. Reading excerpts of it can be very misleading. It is an American favorite, a call to free inquiry...

 

Dr. Cremo, the "forbidden archeologist," brings it all together as a seamless whole, a characteristically "Indian" view of the world, with Hinduism a kind of "religion" that in fact is much more than just a religion. It contains the seeds of all the world's religions. The Buddha and Buddhism are the crowning achievement of India, the cherry atop a sundae of delights.

India and Buddhism

It is sometimes said that all things, when reduced by fire, revert to carbon, and that when carbon is compressed it produces the most adamantine substance known to us, the diamond. Hinduism (or Vedantic Brahmanism) is like that, with Buddhism as its crowning achievement, brilliant, precious, and noble.

Listen to a Powerpoint presentation by Dr. Cremo, or read one of his books, or look through his website. And what he says and gets in trouble for -- crossing into forbidden territory where knowledge filters and gatekeepers demand we not go.

We'll be laughed at, like the Buddha and Jesus and shaman seers were/are laughed at. We'll be ridiculed and rejected as ridiculous. We'll never be "respectable" or famous because we refuse to fall into line and simply dutifully report the "consensus reality" about Buddhism or about our world or about why things happen (in the social and political spheres).

Even when Dr. Cremo would seem to be disagreeing with us and favoring Hinduism, we are actually on the same page. He is not a Buddhist, and yet with his research into Eastern Philosophies, mythological histories, and extreme human antiquity, we are sure he would appreciate the distinction the Buddha made between conventional and ultimate language in reaching the ultimate reality.

(ZeroFortyFive) Michael Cremo on "Extreme Human Antiquity"

Ancient Human Origins

Aum, the cosmic sound (Taopunk/flickr)

"Forbidden archeologist" Michael Cremo discusses the latest DNA discovery showing that humans like us have existed on Earth and elsewhere far longer than the general scientific community will acknowledge. He also updates his work on ancient aliens and catastrophes in world history and prehistory, staggering cyclical periods of time covered in Buddhist and Indian cosmologies (kalpas, and great-kalpas, or aeons). It is not evolution we see in the fossil record but devolution. Yet, anything that contradicts mainstream Darwinism/evolution is suppressed or altered to conform to preferred and accepted scientific theories. This is the opposite of science, and religious histories tell us more about the big picture when scientific bias and gatekeeping dominate fields like archeology, anthropology, genetics, or biology.

400,000-year-old human DNA extracted

We are all hybrid-Neanderthals?

400,000-year-old human DNA has been extracted from fossils found in a cave in Spain. Initial analysis of the bones led scientists to believe they were most closely related to Neanderthals (such as the thoughtfully pictured reconstruction at right). Yet, the DNA has revealed a connection to an ancient human population from Siberia, known as the Denisovans... More
