Star Myths: Rediscovering Humanity's Deep History, in New Dawn issue 185

 



Special thank-you to the editors of New Dawn magazine for publishing my latest article, entitled "Star Myths: Rediscovering Humanity's Deep History," in issue 185 of New Dawn (March - April 2021).

In the article, I discuss the ways that the evidence available to us in the world's ancient myths (across cultures and continents and oceans) stands alongside the overwhelming archaeological evidence in testifying to the fact that our conventional understanding of humanity's history is gravely flawed and in need of radical revision.

I also explore some of the evidence which demonstrates beyond doubt that the world's ancient myths share a common system -- a system built on celestial metaphor, conveying profound truths intended to be a benefit and blessing for our lives, even in this very present moment.

I hope you will have an opportunity to check out this latest issue for yourself (just released), which contains articles by a number of other authors whose thoughts I am looking forward to reading.

I also hope you will check out their back issues and the numerous articles from previous months and years which they have posted for free reading on their website. 

In general, I believe it is important to support independent media outlets which provide forums for critical thought outside of the conventional narrative. Of course we want to exercise our own critical thinking skills while reading the arguments of others, and I do not agree with everything that anyone else argues, or every opinion that is put forward on any forum, but that should go without saying for anything we hear or read as we go throughout the days and years.

However, we have reached a very dangerous juncture in history in which views critical to the mainstream propaganda narrative are being removed and deplatformed at an alarming rate. Just recently in this very month of February 2021, the Instagram account of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (the son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, whose murder in 1968 signaled the end of the Democratic Party and the end of any semblance of democracy in the United States), was deplatformed without warning for daring to question the official narrative surrounding issues of profound interest and importance to every man, woman and child. 

That critical examination by RFK, Jr. was labeled "vaccine misinformation" and was summarily censored without recourse. 

As I have said in the past, people like to argue that because Facebook (which owns Instagram) and other tech giants whose platforms have become important outlets for social media are themselves private corporations, the First Amendment's recognition of the inalienable right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press do not apply to them, but this is a manifestly false argument. 

In addition to the reasons I listed in the post from early January linked above, people should also ask themselves just where this co-ordinated campaign by those social media outlets (along with the organs of more conventional media, such as the major newspapers and television news) has its origin? Did these giant "independent" and "private" media outlets all, on their own and independently, just decide to censor the same things at the same time? Or is the First Amendment guarantee of the free exercise of speech and press being openly and blatantly violated?

You can read Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s response to his censoring by Facebook and Instagram in an article published on Global Research, here.

Thank you again to the editors of New Dawn for providing a forum for discussing "Ancient Wisdom, New Thinking" since 1991, and for publishing my article examining evidence outside of the conventional narrative, evidence about subjects which are deeply important to all of us!
