The IMPACTS Blog

I have come to agree with the philosophers and religious leaders over the past few thousand years–Love is the most powerful force among human beings. But I see Love as a part of the forces trying to hold the universe, and therefore humanity, together against the powerful forces of the second law of thermodynamics. The second law is constantly working to disassemble the universe–and humanity.

The IMPACTS people I write about come from a genealogy of deep love and service to others. All from the family may not exhibit IMPACTS traits but some will. The IMPACTS “gene” is part of the loving genealogy and it will be manifested on down the line as long as the line is not corrupted by a lack of loving genes. In my opinion, it behaves just like the other laws of genetics RE eye color, body size, etc.

When they say “Love is the answer,” I believe they are correct.

Why do we think the way we do? Is it different from the way humans thought before the emergence of agriculture? I suspect it is very different.

Before agriculture, there was no real “authority” among people. Yes, maybe here and there, but most cultures were probably like the San culture of Africa, the oldest modern human group. The San were egalitarian and non-aggressive–actually female-oriented–hence, the Divine Feminine in cultures around the world. Seemingly unbeknown to the anthropological world, the San were the out-of-Africa group.

Our post-agricultural world is quite different–authority is all around–and we are expected to defer to it–parents, teachers, police, bureaucrats, politicians, workplace bosses–you name it. It has to affect our thinking dramatically. The SN, the authority structure in place since agriculture and mostly male-oriented, is a tight ceiling on our thinking. We think small when just a few thousand years ago, small groups could build stone structures like Stonehenge in England aligned perfectly with the summer solstice. And carry huge stones weighing several tons over land and sea from over 200 miles away. Could we think that creatively? No. Our thinking now is basically imprisoned to the authoritative SN which tells us what is right and wrong, who our friends are, and who our enemies are. It also tells us what success is–or certainly tries to.

Yes, there is a real ceiling in place that keeps us from the realization that we really can change things–that we can accomplish miraculous discoveries–that our thinking can change the world. The first step is realizing what is holding us back, and that is the long arm of the post-agricultural, authoritarian SN.

I have said many times before that I believe that the universe is a male-female struggle. The male force is the “take” force and the female is the “create-produce” force. The male force is stronger–that’s why we have the world we do.

Prior to agriculture, it appears that it was mostly a peaceful world. Agriculture enabled male energy to capture female energy, using it for fuel. At its base, that’s what the universe is–a machine and fuel. The same applies to us. Male energy is the machine and female energy is the fuel.

Politics and countries are machines–they have to have fuel in order to quench their male thirst. That thirst will vary according to the nature of the male energy. Sweden’s thirst is different from Israel’s thirst. Male energy exists on a continuum just as does everything else, including female energy–and IMPACTS energy.

The IMPACTS are the fuel for the male machine–everywhere around the world. Male energy has to have it or it cannot survive. You can see this clearly with the example of a family. If the male can’t find a female to mate with, there is no family–no machine. This characterizes the dynamic operating across the universe–the male machine has to have female energy in order to exist, and to continue to survive.

Politics is mostly a male machine, especially at the higher levels. That’s why it is full of machinations and deal-making. It is a game, a game of power. Politics came in with agriculture too. That’s one reason IMPACTS are not usually involved at the higher levels except in supportive roles–IMPACTS are from another time, the time of the San tribe from over 100,000 years ago.

Females are rarely capable of the violence we see among men on such a grand scale. Their energy is usually used to overcome the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which continually pushes everything apart. Male energy can be seen as an ally of the 2nd Law, hastening the unraveling of “concentrated energy”.

What if a theory came along that solved most of the mysteries that have baffled astronomers, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and many other disciplines–and it was the same theory for all of them? Would people want to know or would they brush it aside?

If you were taking a trip in the car and the bridge 200 miles ahead was out, would you want to know? Of course–so you could make other plans. But most of us do not want the same in life itself because we have too much invested in our current view. That is totally understandable. It takes a very nimble personality to be ready for any change in the environment.

When Einstein came out with his theories, 99% of people did not want to know. A huge percentage still have no interest in them. But still they changed the world in a very dramatic way. The IMPACTS concept can do the same though only a tiny percentage of people will really be interested. As Margaret Mead said, “The world has always been changed by a committed few–and always will be.”

The mother and child relationship. Obviously, the female is the “dispersal-hindering” part of the human species–she is the part that keeps the human species from dissolution, which would fulfill the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. You will recall that the 2nd Law wants to break up concentrated energy anywhere and everywhere. So the love and attitude we see from the mother toward the child help secure the continued existence of humans.

It makes sense then that if this mother-child attitude is essential for the biological preservation of the species, then the same attitude is essential for the preservation of human society. And it is–the IMPACTS have the same attitude toward the world and almost everything they are doing as does the mother toward her child. That is why societies continue functioning. If they don’t, then the IMPACTS are either not there or they have been stifled.

So the IMPACTS take the attitude of the mother toward her child out into the world and treat it the same way, enabling its continued existence.

So these are the 7 key points to understanding the IMPACTS concept:

1) The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and its antithesis
2) The hydrogen atom and its valence electron
3) Photosynthesis and the production of glucose
4) The San tribe and the shamans
5) The emergence of agriculture 10,000 years ago
6) Machine and fuel–the template for the universe
7) The mother-child relationship, the same attitude that IMPACTS have toward the world.

Machine and fuel. This is the model throughout the universe beginning with the hydrogen atom. In the hydrogen atom, the atom is the machine and the electron is the fuel. How so? Because the electron can bond with other electrons, producing concentrated energy which can be used to make the structure bigger and stronger.

Another example–a galaxy is a machine with the stars being the fuel. The galaxy gets bigger and stronger with each additional star, which enables it to “grab” other galaxies if they are smaller. All of these machines have a small dense core which is the power - control center.

In human society, the IMPACTS are the fuel for the human race. The SN or structural-nucleus uses this fuel from the IMPACTS to get where it wants to go. In that way human society is no different from a rocket or a train or an automobile that uses refined energy to move it in a certain direction.

Other examples:
1) a company–same thing–small dense center with IMPACTS as the primary fuel supply
2) a country–same–small dense center with IMPACTS as the primary fuel supply
3) a family–small dense center with the female as the primary fuel supply; she is the only one who can reproduce
4) a plant–uses the small amount of chlorophyll to produce sugars which help it get bigger and stronger
5) the human body–uses sugars produced by plants to enable it to do work and function like a machine.

Everything is based on the machine-fuel model. When photosynthesis started forming sugars 3.5 billion years ago on earth, glucose became the primary fuel for life. It is concentrated energy–a carbon molecule made possible through the bonding of valence electrons. Valence electrons enable life.

IMPACTS do the same–they bond and enable the functioning of human society. They are the concentrated energy–the glucose of humanity.

Point #7 tomorrow–the mother-child relationship.

Are you dissatisfied with the way the world is currently explained? Do you feel that there are lots of loose ends and no real cohesive theory to explain how everything works? Do you think there is probably a much simpler version of reality–and more accurate–than what we currently have? Do you think that career scientists are more likely to figure out different aspects of the universe or is the “guy or girl on the street” just as likely?

If you want to learn a new way of looking at reality–one that is simple yet profound–one that is applicable to everyday life–and one that has its basis in science and not speculation, then you might want to learn about the IMPACTS concept. I’m certain it will answer many of your questions while it will also have you asking new ones.

We have learned from an early age to defer to the power-control crowd–parents, teachers, politicians, company owners–you name it. But now I think it is time to re-examine what we do with our energy and who we give it to. I think it is time to focus it on the IMPACTS and what they can do as a group to change the world–and only they can do it and only as a group. Concentrated energy is the only way that anything gets done and there is no more powerful concentrated energy than the IMPACTS working together.

The development of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Before agriculture, humans lived a mostly nomadic life, moving from place to place, following the food. Agriculture enabled people to settle down. Instead of spending almost all of the year centered around food, humans could now raise enough food in a month to serve their needs for the entire year.

Then, other things became important: protecting the food against others who might have had a bad harvest, property rights, and a hierarchy. Someone had to be in charge whereas before the shaman had been in charge. But the shaman was a people-person and agricultural societies required someone who was less sentimental. The shaman types became the fuel for the “structural-nucleus” or SN. The San and shaman had laid the foundation for what was developing. People like them–community-oriented, selfless, innovative–would be the basis for the post-agricultural world.

The world is still set up the same way today. About 6,000 years ago, our current model of states and countries and societies took form. These states were and still are dependent on a large number of IMPACTS to make things work and keep the wheels turning.

As I have said, everything is based on the model of the hydrogen atom. When the proton nucleus “captures” an electron, then that electron seeks to bond with another electron, and when it does, a whole new structure is formed–a molecule. The same occurred with agriculture–the IMPACTS were captured and the new structure of “civilization” began to form–with a controlling nucleus at the core.

The San tribe of Africa and its shaman-centered way of life. If you understand the San you will understand the foundation of human civilization.

The San are the oldest modern human group. All genetic studies confirm this. They have been living well over 100,000 years. At one time they numbered in the millions but now only 100,000 or so remain, mostly living in the Kalahari Desert of southwest Africa. Where modern life has not encroached, they are still living as they did 100,000 years ago–same customs, same shaman-centered lifestyle.

There were many San tribes and still are, each tribe being very independent. This has become the blueprint for the modern world–instead of tribes it is countries.

I have never seen this in any book of any sort but it is one of the most obvious deductions ever made–the San were the out-of-Africa group 60,000 to 80,000 years ago. They were the people that colonized the world. That is why human societies were so similar for thousands of years–all had as their foundation the San way of life.

In the San tribe, half of the members might be shamans, slightly more men than women. The shamans were the problem-solvers and their concerns were the health and well-being of the tribe. Often the shamans would travel to the spirit world in a trance to search for answers to the problems of individuals and the group. These trance ceremonies would include all members of the tribe–with dancing, singing, and often storytelling.

The shamans were the first artists though they did not see it as art–everything to the San and shaman had a function. Art was no different. Much of the art was what the shaman saw in his journeys to the spirit world where animals helped him on his mission. The shamans painted what they saw in their trance.

Paintings in European caves from over 20,000 years ago bear striking resemblances to San paintings. There is a simple reason for this–the San were the out-of-Africa group and their genes were still very much in play and still are today. All artists still have San genes expressing themselves.

The IMPACTS of today are the San tribe and shamans in different clothing. IMPACTS see the world very much as the San and shamans saw their world. The San sought harmony between people and with nature–the IMPACTS generally do the same. The San were very androgynous–IMPACTS are usually the same.

The San laid the foundation for the world that developed after agriculture which was a far different world than the community-oriented San world. The emergence of agriculture 10,000 years ago allowed the development of a structural-nucleus, the SN, which began to control societies. This is the model we have today–the IMPACTS provide the fuel for the SN. That is the model–machine and fuel.

So the 4th point is the San and shaman, the foundation for human society–and the development of the fuel for human society. The IMPACTS are today’s version of the San and shaman. They make everything happen. No IMPACTS–nothing is going to happen. Many IMPACTS–anything can happen.

The universe is coming apart–galaxies are moving away from each other at a rapid pace. So dispersal is the rule. Therefore bonding is the opposite to the tendencies of the universe. That leads us to Point #3–photosynthesis and the production of glucose.

Biologist John Kimball says that it is electrons shuttling between only 2 elements, carbon and oxygen, that powers life:

-Moving electrons against the gradient (O to C) - as occurs in photosynthesis - requires energy (and stores it).

-Moving electrons down the gradient (C to O) - as occurs in cellular respiration - releases energy.

So the movement of electrons between carbon and oxygen makes life work.

Glucose was produced by cyanobacteria about 3.5 billion years ago. That led to the release of oxygen as a by-product which led to the oxygenizing of the atmosphere and the oceans. Glucose became the basis of life and still is today. Our brain depends almost entirely on glucose for its fuel.

So once the fuel is formed, nature keeps it. It is the same with the IMPACTS–they are the fuel for the human race, and they are basically the San tribe and shaman in “new” clothes.

Point #4 tomorrow–the San and shaman are the foundation of modern humans.
