goody days Fili

Don't know if I have been in contact with Beaming Rocks but who knows what 
one has been bashing one's head against, recently. It would be nice to have 
rocks in my head, thinking what rocks think of humans, as professor 
Challenger might say.

Another little story on rocks. Some of the aboriginal peoples who have always 
lived in the Australian continent say rocks are already and always 
alive. They said; in the rocks and the land, the land being the earth, live 
spirits and the rocks and the land are alive. 

When the British invaded, bringing sad history and anthropologists to further 
conquer the people who have always been living here, they said the aboriginal 
peoples must be primitive, uncivilized fools for saying rocks have spirits in 
them and are alive. These scientists thought they knew well rocks were dead 
inert things. But, as professor Challenger knows, these foolish primitive 
peoples knew more then these British wise men of scientific truth could ever 
know. For fifty thousand, sixty thousand, seventy thousand, a hundred 
thousand years, aboriginal peoples have known the earth and the rocks in the 
earth, all the land, is alive. Did the wise men of science, these 
anthropologists sent out from England to conquer, know this?

These Australians who have always been here are, perhaps, always and already 
free spirits beyond good and evil, as Nietzsche would say and will make sad 
history, an invasion of history, be forgotten.

best wishes

Chris Jones.
