I originally wrote this essay during a overnight campout at my Sacred Grove in the Forests of the UBC Endownment Lands during 2003's Canadian Thankgiving Weekend. I have posted it on many many message boards, and found that it has received for the most part a fairly good responce.


I am hoping that after reading it, you all will respond with some constructive criticism or opinions about it, as I wish to find out if I have finally gotten this essay right.

The Supreme Lifeform:

According to Carl Sagan in his Cosmos programs, the Universe started with the Big Bang approximately 15 Billion years ago. According to Wicca Paganistic Cosmology, that was the time that the Great Goddess of the Forces of Nature stirred and split off from herself her physical form and then giving birth to the God. So for billions of years, the Wheel of Time revolves with Mother Nature spinning the Fabric of Time while the God turned the Wheel.

Then about 4.5 Billion years ago, our Solar Systems evolved with all the Planets circulating around Sun. Then on one of the Planets, the Earth, Life stirred and evolved approximately 3.8 Billion years ago. Since that time, all the Creatures, Trees, and Plants lived in a gigantic harmonious struggle for the continuation of life. Sometimes the struggle for life's continuation was beautiful, peaceful, and benign. Sometimes it was cruel, brutal, and heartless. But it was always contained within the guidlines of the changing cycles of life, the seasons, and the stars.

Then the time came, about 10 Thousand Years ago or so, that one of the creatures of the Earth developed intelligence enough to realize that grains could be farmed. And almost simultaneously, the Chinese started farming rice, the American Indians started farming Corn, and the peoples of the Middle East started farming Wheat and Barley.

So after being able to harvest grains and domesticating the local animals in the Fertile Crescent, which is between Southern Turkey, Syria and Northern Iraq, mankind then had very good reliable food sources readily available.

So after having such a good food supply available, instead of always having to hunt down and kill their food as they had as hunter gatherors, the peoples of the Fertile Crescent were able to settle down in one place as they did not have to move around as much anymore.

So with such storable food supplies to last the winters, mankind then had a lot more leisure time to experiment with his environment, working to figure out ways to make life more easier. From that era, they figured out how make cement out of limestone, how to work with fire more efficiently creating kiln dry pottery, and then create weaving.

After a period of experimentation, mankind then developed a rudimentary method of communication original called Ogham Symbols. It is not like it was a new developement as many other lifeforms in the past had developed rudamentary forms of signage to signify things like: "This is mine.", "I wish to find a mate.", or "Come here, there is food here.". But the humans, in their endeavours to find better ways to communicate such necessities of life, developed this new method of ommunication, such as writing. At the same time, the Sumerians were communicating with their Coniform Writing, and the Chinese had started developing their Kanji Writing. In those three cultures, with the new invention of writing, that peoples were able to organize the first rudementary government structures, document advances in architecture, and started creating and chronicalling developements in the first methods of agroculture. To further show the power of the complex system of communications called Writing, just look at how Humanity has changed since the 14th century when Johannes Gutenburg invented the Moveable Type Printing Press. It was through his invention that technological advances could be chroncalled for future developed by future Scientists and Inventors. Such ability to chronical technological advances allowed them to be improved to the point of our being able to enjoy the standards of living we have today.

At first the Ogham was a "Tree Alphabet" were used to be engraved onto sticks as well as larger standing stones. Archeological findings show them always as landmarks or as burial monuments. The Celts had an Oral Tradition, so Ogham was not used to write stories or history as these were memorized. During this time, Mother Nature was the earliest companion of Primitive Mankind. She provided the bounty by which our distant forbears could shelter and survive. In return for her abundance, people at that time, reverred Nature and the earliest Religions worshipped her.

In time, the signage of the Ogham Scripture evolved to become more and more complex and more and more information could be communicated or recorded for future generations to take advantage of. Then came the day that a group of humans, observed that they had developed advances in technology, better living standards, and even harnessing some of Earths creatures as beasts of burden. The humans (at about a millenium of so just before the Biblical Exodus), seeing that they had seemed to better nature in so many respects, then proclaimed that mankind must have been created in some sort of Godlike Image , and some misguided theological philosopher then wrote it into scripture (ie: Genesis 1: 26 - 31) as such at about 5 to 6 thousand years ago.

So the ancient Egyptians then proclaimed themselves as such by placing one of their great strong heroes on a throne and proclaimed him Pharoah, the living embodiment of God on Earth.

At this time, when the Egyptians were just starting to build their pyramids and temples, the Northern European Celtic Druids, who had already correctly identified the forces of Mother Nature as the object of veneration, had already built The Stonehenge several thousand years before, upon which, the sacred cycles of all life was worshipped.

In the meantime, the Egyptians were building great massive structures proclaiming each successive Pharoah as created in a Godlike Image. As time went on, the temples depicting human pharoahs as created in a Godlike Image got ever bigger, larger, and grander.

Soon the Egyptian concept of Pharoah being created in a Godlike Image spread to neighboring Middle Eastern Countries, and other races of the human species started proclaiming themselves as created in Godlike Images too. Unfortunately, that only got proclaimed on their own peoples, tribes, or races, and that was when Rascism was First Invented.

Parts #2:

Eventually, the Egyptians found that they lacked sufficient manpower and wealth to carry on building their growing megaliths of architectural beauty, so since they concidered Pharoah as created in a Godlike Image, and their Pharoah ordered it to be done so (an order he made to reinforce his own superiority complex), the Egyptians went forth conquering and enslaving other peoples (mainly the Hebrews) of the known world to be made to serve Pharoah in building the massive magaliths of architecture.

Since slightly earlier, the prophet Abraham had proclaimed that all people were created in a Godlike Image, and that God had granted mankind dominion over the Earth (sorry, mankind TOOK dominion over the Earth under the guidlines set out by the Scripture of Genesis 22, no intelligent god worth his weight in wisdom would ever grant any single lifeform of the Earth dominion over the Earth!!!), the Hebrews resented their bondage by the Egyptians. This led to the Biblical Exodus. For that story, just watch the mega movie 10 Commandments with Charleston Heston, of which I have on
tape.

Then came the Romans.

The Tolomies of Egypt were smart, the created alliances with Rome until
Cleopatra in 43 AD. However, the Hebrews resisted the Romans with such
ferver using the passive resistance tactics prescribed by Jesus Christ, that
the Romans expelled the Hebrews throughout the known world similarily as
the British did when they expelled the French Acadians from Canada during
the war of 1812.

During the time of the Romans, the Romans, under the leadership of Julius
Caesar, came north and conquered Gaul, Carthage, and the British Isles. They
imposed their pantheonon on Gods (all depicted in a human image) on the
Druids and outlawed the Druids worship of Nature, Earth, and the Cycles of
Life. The Druids simply adapted, accepting the new Roman Gods as their
own, and carried on worshipping the cycles of life in secret.

Then came the great Middle Eastern Prophet Mohamed, who once again
proclaimed that all peoples of Earth are created in a Godlike Image. He
preached Peace, Love, and Understanding just as Abraham, and Jesus Christ
had. Unfortunately, he named the new Muslim God Allah, and not the God, the
Spirit, and the Holy Ghost as the established Christians believed. So that
brought about the animosity that led to the Crusades, of which Jesus Christ
would have just said if he had been alive, "Leave them at Peace to worship
God in their own way, and let us worship God in our own way in Peace".
Unfortunately, J.C. was not round to say so. The over xellous Christians then
invaded the Middle East and created the inter-racial animosities that have
lasted to this day (ie: the WTC attacks).

It was at this point in time, following the Crusades, that the deadly persecutions of the Nature Worshipping Druids and the Wicca Pagans began by the over xellous Catholics. This culminated witht he horrible genocidal witch hunts in Salom in the 1600s. This came to an end with the refounding of the signifigance of Stonehenge by John Aubrey during the 1700s.

Now since the time mankind was proclaimed in a Godlike Image, mankind
has been driven to proove it by being bigger, grander, and more important
than mankind actually is. that is why certain people who believe in such
philosophies demand bigger houses, flashier cars, and nicer clothes. That has
been the reasoning for mankind wanting to be superior over our fellow man, other lifeforms, and over Nature itself. In the endeavour of doing such things, we have done terrible things to each other in order to proove it, such as fighting meaningless wars (the aforementioned Crusades), being in total dominance over others (ie: the murderous Jim Jones of Jonestown Ghana), and having the phsycotic need of being in total control over everything (dictators such as Julius Ceasar or Adolf Hitler).

It is because of the religious belief that mankind being created in a Godlike
Image that has caused the human emotions of Egotism, Vanity, and Greed to be created. If the old prophets Abraham, Jesus Christ, and Mohamed had of had any idea how much death, sufferring, and destruction would be inflicted by mankind onto his fellow man, other lifeforms, and the Earth in their names, they would have kept thier mouths shut, and not ever preached a word to anyone, and would have gone onto other presuites or occupations

Part #3:

The True Supreme Lifeform:

On the 10th of June 2000, I positively identified the Earth's most Supreme
Lifeform!!!

I was on a trip to Japan visitting my old roomate. We had met when we were both volunteers for the Vancouver Healing Voices organization that had been formed in order to put on the 50th Anniversary Rememberance Ceremonies for the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki (They did not do Hiroshima, do not ask me why. I was not in charge.) After that, we became roomates for about a year and we even have the same birthdates (2 - June). In 2000, I went to Japan to a 2 week birthday party holiday.

The first week was spent with my old roomate. We basically ate, drink, and partied our heads off. Then I went on a week long Atomic Bomb pilgrimage through Hiroshima and Nagasakis.

I spent one day and night in Hiroshima and then two days and nights in
Nagasaki. I saw things in those towns that totally blew my mind (maybe the reason why many of you are already thinking, "this guy has a blown mind").

I found the party atmosphere in Hiroshima to be much better than in
Nagasaki, so after two days in Nagasaki, I returned to Hiroshima to party some nore. I spent four more days touring, partying, and learning in Hiroshima. I was staying in the Hiroshima Youth Hostel. I made friends there with a Swedish gentleman (I can not remember his name) and a Japanese girl from Kyoto named Kyokosan.

On the 10th of June, our trio went downtown and toured around. It was
about 2:00pm or so when we happenned into the Rai Sanyo Shiseki Museum. It is about 100 meters south of the intersection of Rijodori and Hondori Streets, which was the A-Bomb Hypocenter. (the Enola Gays sights were right on target that day). We decided to go inside this museum's compound. It turned out that Rai Sanyo was a famous Samurai whose job was to be a Japanese Philosopher. The Shogun of the time liked his writings, so ordered him to stay in a specially constructed house and write his philosophies. Rai Sanyo was sent to Hiroshima, and was not allowed to leave the house (Rai Sanyo tried escaping a few times, only to be caught and forceably brought back). As a memorial to Rai Sanyosan, the house was declared a national historic landmark to be perserved (and has since been rebuilt).

After looking at that, we went back into the courtyard and found a Eucalyptus Tree with a sign next to it. The sign stated that this Eucalyptus Tree was in the Atomic Bomb Explosion, and that it was burnt to a smoldering stump flat to the ground. The sign even invites you to examine the ground around the new tree's roots for remnants of the old tree's roots. I did so and there they were. The sign then states that in the months that followed the A-Bomb dropping, a new tree started sprouting from out of the old original burnt roots, and eventually grew all the way back to full health and vigour without any deformities whatsoever.

As I was having my mind blown by this revealation, I then thought back into
my past of a M*A*S*H episode I saw as a child in 1974 where Hawkeye and Trapper John were using a fictitional Captain Tuttle to do good hilanthropedical deeds for the local orphanage. In order to confuse Majors Burns and Houlihan, they had to make up a totally fictitional personnel file on the fictitional Captain Tuttle. In the scene where Hawkeye and Trapper John are making the fictitional file, they come to the point where the file asks for the subject's religion. Hawkeye goes, "Religion, hmmmm. Lets make
him a Druid". Trapper John asks, "A Druid? Whats that?". Hawkeye responds, "They are tree worshippers. They worship Trees". To which Trapper John shrugs his shoulders and responds, "OK, make him a Druid". Then Hawkeye mutters, "A Druid", to himself as he writes it into the file. As I was marvelling at the Eucalyptus Tree, that M*A*S*H scene came back to me, and I started thinking to myself over and over, "Become a Druid, become a Druid. Yes, become a Druid". And that is why I am here today writting this essay on this message board. It was actually from that M*A*S*H episode that I first heard the word Druid, although I did run across the word again in my late teens while I was playing the game Dungeons and Dragons.

Part #4:

Now when I was on a posting to a certain Canadian Forces Army Base (identity classified) in Alberta in the early 1990s, I went to Drumheller's Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. It has a lot of paleontological history chronicalled in it. In it, I observed that whatever caused the dinosaurs to go extinct (I think it was a huge asteroid hitting the Earth), the Tree and Plants of the Earth easily survived and grew all the way back after few decades.

Also, I saw an archeology show on the Discovery Channel chronicalling how the growth of life in Ireland and Europe slowed right down form 536 AD to 538 AD (I was not fast enough with a video tape to record the program, whiz me off!!!). They then did research on why there was such a slow down in Plant growth. After examining various cultural records from that time period, it was found that the Chinese had recorded a massive explosion sound wave coming form the general direction of the South Pacific, namely the Island of Krakatoa. There are records of a great cloud of volcanic dust covering the Earth, and no light got through for two years. So nothing grew, and there were great famines. It was the panic of this great famine that caused the final collapse of the Roman Empire. Now before the 1880s, Krakatoa was densely forested without any sign of the 536 AD explosion. Then during the 1880s, it exploded again. Within 50 years, the Krakatoa's island remnants where once again densely reforested. No matter how massively that island explodes, there are always at least some seeds that survive to later regrow.

So if Tree and Plants are a lifeform that can easily outsurvive Atomic Bomb blasts at point blank range, asteroids hitting the Earth killing the dinosaurs, and Krakatoa exploding, then the Trees and Plants of Earth are easily the more superior lifeform to humans as well as the other organic lifeforms. Trees and Plants of Earth have outsurvived mankind by 100s of millions of years, and will continue to outsurvive us by 100s of millions of years until the great solar body the Sun either explodes or implodes.

Now it is the Trees and Plants of Earth, by way of their photosynthesis, that
provides us with the oxygen that we need to breath, and if we do not treat them with more respect, then they will cut us off of our oxygen supply and we will all die off from asphixiation. Once we have died off, the surviving Trees and Plants will spread their seeds and grow right back. We have to stop taking them for granted like the people of Easter Island, and Haiti did, and now the peoples of South America now are doing.

As a matter of a fact, if Mankind wants to survive the Nucleo Techonological Age that we have created around ourselves, we all have to change your priorities in Life and Live to Serve the Trees and Plants of the Planet Earth before ourselves. We have all served our own Selfish Aims for far too long. It we do not start serving the Trees and Plants with Reverrance and Respect soon, then they will soon stopping providing us with the Food, Atmosphere, and Oxygen that we all need to Live.

So in conclusion, if you want my opinion on what lifeform is created in a Godlike Image, I would point out that it is the Trees and Plants of Earth, especially the Hiroshima Survivor Eucalyptus Tree, which I hold in absolute veneration.

So, 144 Viewings and No Comments, eh?

Well, I guess I will go to today Meetup and find out what you guys Skeptically think of my Manifesto.

I did send a copy of it to a Bishop Level Reverand of Japanese Buddhism and he seemed to Respond Positively.
