Hi Jenny! *p*Thanks for your views. Please understand that what you read is but a very small fraction of a much larger work.  I do not focus on "race" as a primary focus of what I'm trying to get across.  What I am suggesting is that there is an increase in the usage of three-patterned categories throughout the human spectrum, but we can find a larger increase in that group which we of the present call Indo-European.  If you prefer to suggest that we are all Africans, so be it.  Yet let us recognize that Indo-Europeans are the 3rd born African group which is using more "threes" in a variety of contexts.*p*Let me give you an example from the Judeo-Christian perspective by providing you with a poem that highlights an increased reliance upon three-patterned forms in contrast to an older form.  In this respect, let us look at the New Testament (a later-born view) in contrast to the Old Testament (an earlier born view): *p*Three Wise Men came to me*br*with three gifts on Christmas morn*br*they had followed a star to see,*br*the saviour-king who was newly born*br*And when I was a young child*br*exploring the world as a child plays*br*I got lost for three days*br*but within a home of God, I smiled*br*A spirit led me into the wilderness*br*to be three times tempted by the Devil*br*Satan wanted to make me one of his*br*but I gave visiting angels my soul*br*I taught so that all might remember-*br*"to Ask, to Seek and to Knock"*br* for with these keys, all things surrender*br*and Heaven's doors unlock*br*I was 3 times 10 plus 3 years old*br*speaking out for Faith, Hope & Charity*br*some thought me evil, others called me bold*br*but what I did, I did for thee*br*"I am not," was all that Peter would say*br*when asked if he is one of my disciples*br*his third denial came after I was led away,*br*before the moment a cock crows*br*Many think I dropped the cross three times*br*on the way to my crucifixion*br*and with two others found guilty of crimes,*br*that 3 of us had embarked towards heaven*br*It is believed that three nails were used*br*to bind each hand and both feet*br*- my executioners expected to be abused*br*but with words like these I chose to speak:*br*"And though my flesh deeply pangs for water*br*while blood also trickles from each hand,*br*please forgive them oh Father*br*for they do not understand"*br*It was Pilate who inscribed above my head,*br*in Greek, Latin and Hebrew,*br*on a wooden plaque that could be read:*br*'Jesus the Nazarene the King of every Jew'*br*When at 3 o'clock I was to take my leave*br*so tht future generations might believe,*br*some say I said this simple phrase of three:*br*             "I am thirsty"*br*One nearby, rushed up to me*br*with a sponge soaked in sour wine*br*but others around said "Let him be!,"*br*to see if God would save me in time*br*It was on the third day that I rose*br*after having been crucified*br*and every kind-hearted person knows,*br*it was for each of you that I died*br*Three women with spices sweet,*br*came to soothe their hearts by anointing me*br*but I had gone before them, to "Galilee*br*for it is there we were to meet*br*to my disciples behing shut doors, *br*I came twice to be heard*br*then near the sea of the Tiberias shores,*br* meant this visit was my third*br*I asked Simon Peter three questions*br*knowing he would answer the same*br*my undying love was given in these lessons, *br*so that all the future might gain*br*All authority in Heaven and on lELarth*br*had been given to me on the day,*br*that I had known since my birth*br*I would be ascending with yet much to say*br*But, so tht all nations might realize*br*hoping all peoples would come to hear it*br*my disciples were sent out to baptize,*br*"in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit"*br*Like a thief in the night,*br*I am to come unto you*br*though some believe this untrue,*br*I pray your heart shines my light*br*Tis not a mystical coincidence*br*that my life's story has patterns-of-three*br*you must come to know of its significance*br*as my love for you has not forsaken thee.*p*Please don"t misconstrue the intent of the poem.  I am not a religious fanatic.  This poem is but one of several thousand examples of three-patterned occurrences that can be offered to illustrate that there is a measurable change taking place with human cognition.  It just so happens that many people interested in the Celtic, Irish, and Scotish perspectives are not necessarily conscious of the fact that their "awakening" indicates they are what may be termed "chosen" by genetic, cultural, and yes, racial criteria.  Why is it that so many people are 'awakening' to a three-based Celtic (and other forms) of consciousness?  Because they intuitively appreciate that patterns-of-three have a fundamental meaning of truth?*p*But, in returning to the poem, we all realize that there are not actually three Wise Men mentioned, but they are inferred and carried via cultural/cognitive traditions throughout a large expanse of history. Again, we don't find a reference to Jesus dropping the cross three times nor that there were specifically three nails used, nor that it was exactly 3 o'clock when he died.  But what is significant, is that this predominant Indo-European religion has transformed from a scattering of various numerical values in the Old Testament, to a predominant usage of three-patterned references in the New Testament.  When we can find strictly cultural examples of an increased three-patterned usage in later-born cultures and strictly biological representations of a similar developmental trend, this suggests that there are selected individuals (which may represent millions) that are more advanced with respect to this 1- 2- 3 three-patterned developmental sequence.*p*Let us look at something such as alien abductions for example, for the sake of mere discussion because the topic is part of human cognition whether you or I believe in such occurrences or not.  For that matter, we could include The Lochness phenomena.  We find in some instances that "Nessy" has three humps, there are three aliens who do the abducting, the space craft has three landing gear, or three windows, or there were three people involved with the abduction scene whether or not all three were abducted, or the person was abducted at or around 3 o'clock.  In some instances we find that three different types of aliens have been witnessed.  *p*The point I'm trying to make is that the human mind is in transistion from an old-based two-patterned (opposite, dichotomous, dualistic, etc.,) form, and proceeding into a three-patterned perspective.  The problem is that most people are not aware of how wide spread such an occurrence is.  The are caught up in traditional ideas and placing them into a modern context that they don't appreciate themselves as a "chosen" individual on a genetic/racial/cultural level.  Yes, even those who claim they were abducted by three aliens are using the alien scenario for an unconscious benefit which helps them to make a smoother transistion into a three-based perspective.  Those who are afraid of the changes they are experiencing may turn to drugs, crime, alcohol, promiscuity, abuse, etc., to try to ward off the new insights, ideas, perspective, etc...  *p*They must be helped to understand that they actually are "chosen" but so are many others.  Likewise, in closing this short reply, in order for computers to achieve consciousness, they must be altered from a binomial format into a trinomial one.  And by using a computer analogy, you may better understand that if we began a list of "threes" such as we are on the Third planet, there are three basic life domains, there is a triad of the biosphere, etc., what we will have found is a type of computer program being run in this solar system.*p*Again,*p*Thank you for your views.*p*P.S. By the way, I have already begun such a listing of threes.  You would have to see it to believe it.        *p*
