Synopsis: Gravity holds down consciousness.
Q: How does this occur?
Re: Talk to the animals.
Q: Would whales be able to relate to YOU? In what way? What do you suppose you might learn from them?
Re: Various civilizations inter-reacting, raising consciousness.
While culture varies, there are universal archetypes that guide and are often shared. The ideas behind this are shared consciousness. The differences in cultures is of lesser import. Each can be seen as color preferences within the spectrum of light that contains them all.
Can one study a fish or a pygmy accurately without being a pygmy or fish?
That is a classic discussion within the field of anthropology, and was exemplified by Carlos Castaneda in his novels.
One side says no, and Don Juan then went through an initiation process involving psychotropic drugs to experience the same experience of the shaman.
The other side says they don't want to BE a pygmy, but want to understand it from the side of one who studies the pygmy from afar, while agreeing with the premise that they are necessarily 'different'.
Fish think like fish and man like man. Whales like whales.
They can learn from each other sure, but the 'gravity' at the bottom of the ocean isn't a conducive environment to produce a consciousness that could communicate something to my human mind that wasn't already there as potential idea, not coming from a whale.
