Georgia Guide Stones

I happened on a web page that I found astounding and at the same time somewhat discouraging. Throughout this new blog, I have been speculating on aspects of the ‘world of tomorrow’, and I arrived at the opinions and informed speculations stated through many hours of study, research, and contemplation. Mysteriously, someone arrived at basically the same conclusions in 1980;  thirty four years ago. Further, they were motivated to embody some of these opinions as ‘principles’ carved in stone. Not only that, but they are HUGE stones erected on a hillside near Elburton, Georgia (U.S.A.). No one is sure who erected them, or why they were located in a remote area of the countryside. Some think it was a religious cult, but who knows?

In various languages, including Egyptian Hieroglyphics, it is carved:

Let these be guide stones to an age of reason

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

Guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity.

Unite humanity with a living new language.

Rule passion—faith—tradition—and all things with tempered reason.

Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

Balance personal rights with social duties.

Prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite.

Be not a cancer on the earth—Leave room for nature—Leave room for nature.

It felt satisfying to have someone else share my views, and, simultaneously discouraging that I didn’t know about it thirty years ago. And, it makes me reconsider if it serves any purpose to make any further posts on the subject. I think this says it all….
