 		[UPDATE] Dec 1 - PBTE & The Teachings of Gaia
It seems everyone emailing PBTE asking them about Technology and Gaia has inspired them to write a new post. It's pretty much more wacky Gaia speak.

My favorite part is this:
Quote:
Finally always remember, it is not sufficient to teach 'Light good' – 'Darkness bad' or even 'Dolphins good' – 'Sharks bad' as some who have come before us have done, instead we should embrace the whole of Gaia so long as it is in accordance to our type.


So I should now be embracing my inner shark?

 		What does he mean by 'our type'? He keeps saying that, and I haven't quite wrapped my brain around it yet.

 		what about the other 51 songs?
yet again, they mention the 52 songs of Gaia, but only give reference to the second song. Something about Cain, and climbing the great vine (most likely some connection with the elevator, and it's "beanstalk" moniker; see also, Davina's dream sketch:http://www.flickr.com/photos/davinabronco/42424372/).
Confused

Well, I'm no expert on this mixture of New Age religion and the Biblical Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel, but it sounds like Gaia has three types: land, sea, and air. Cain was bad because we sought the Fire of the Air when his type is clearly land. It just makes me wonder how PBTE feels about scuba diving or hot air ballooning.

And perhaps Gaia should be putting these songs on the iTunes Music Store if we are supposed to hear them. I mean, technology is ok if it's in our "type", right? So as long as I don't access iTunes from a submarine, I should be ok? Rolling Eyes

 		I'm having some fun with PBTE, too. I sent this today:

Hi,
I have a question concerning Technology and the Song of Gaia:
Since the Knowledge of Fire is above and beneath the Edens and not one of them, how would we have aquired Technology if it wasn't for Cain who brought it to us?
Or put another way, as I see, we know a part of it through the Song of Gaia: How long would it have taken for us to reach the technology we have today?

And isn't the cell phone part of the Knowledge of Fire according to the Eden of Air as signals are sent into space and back?
Of course, this does not require for us to enter the Eden of Air, it's just using it as a medium. There you go, I already gave you the answer you can use...

One last question:
Do you travel by plane? I'd think it at least temporarily makes you leave your type of Eden. So is it forbidden for you to use it?
