Transhumanist Wonderland - 2024
Humanity 2.0 is upon us. A new take on the classic Wonderland characters.
October 14th, 2023 brought the Annular Ring of Fire Eclipse across the United States. This was just one of three notable eclipses to cross the United States from 2017 to 2024.
Well before October 2023 it was obvious that Wonderland, with its influence of time and manipulation of our collective reality, would be the strong theme. In my video from October 2023, you’ll notice a clip from Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016). NASA promoted viewing this eclipse across "America’s Scenic Wonderland".
Keeping Wonderland as part of our normal conversation, along with topics such as time, portals, dimensions and so others is not by chance.
It should not be overlooked that the October 14, 2023 eclipse was just 7 days after the attack in Israel. That war has taken an unimaginable amount of lives, a large percentage are children. Since October 7, 2023, an estimated 1,200 Israelis and 47,540 Palestinians are said to have been killed.
Ring of Fire Eclipse October 14, 2023:
Out With the Old
The lure of controlling time, the pursuit of being like God, never to loose relevance, is a driving force behind so much of what we see playing out in our world today. It is no surprise to watch the resurgence of energy around all things Kronos (Cronus ) / Father Time / Old Saturn.
The 2024 Olympic ceremonies were just another marker, ushering in the desire for a “New Golden Age.” This term has a clear connection to Saturn / Cronus. In basic terms, the Golden Age began when Saturn became the Ruler of the Cosmos.
The King of The Golden Age represented changing of time, destruction of one for another. The Golden Age was considered a time of prosperity, where there was an abundance of everything with peace and harmony shared between all living beings. That theme continues to this day. Actually, we may be witnessing a resurgence, (more about this at a later date).
2024 Summer Olympics
With the themes of Wonderland everywhere, ‘OFF WITH HER HEAD' was repeatedly referenced in the summer of 2024, including at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The games included reverence to characters such as Mithras, Winged Victory, Jupiter and more. Veneration to the gods of old was clear.
Wonderland
As you can start to see Wonderland was everywhere in 2024. Subtly but everywhere; Disney’s Descendants - The Rise of Red movie, the annual gathering Burning Man Wonderland 2024, a Korean Film by the same name that uses AI to replace love ones that have passed away so humans don’t need to feel the sorrow of death ( digital necromancy ), multiple events in NYC and a rising adult film star, all kept Wonderland relevant in 2024. Just a few examples that cover generations and cultures.
Alice, with her adventures down the rabbit hole, have permeated through our culture for generations. How many pop culture references do we borrow from this story? Quite a few.
The metaphorical applications continue to evolve but a consistent theme has been established … escape this construct, elevate or upgrade. You are being guided to a place they want you to go. That place continues to take us further and further away from the actual Truth.
A couple of my older posts that you should read:
A Trans-Human Wonderland
With the lure of Wonderland, the push for our world to be phased into a trans-human landscape is all the more convincing. To take this theme a step forward I decided to have a bit of fun with the concept, a blend of the classic Wonderland story characters and a futuristic fantasy world.
With the help of the AI images, I introduce A Trans-Human Wonderland. An idea of what the land of Wonderland could look like, in my mind anyway, once trans-humanism takes hold. I originally wrote this during the summer of 2024 so hopefully the few of you that read it will find the humor in this over-the-top take of a reality that is inching closer and closer to our own.
All blocked quotes are from the original Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland- by Lewis Caroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson 1832-1898). Let’s introduce the familiar, but altered, characters.
Enjoy!
We continue to hear the claims, Humanity has reached its peak. Advancement will not proceed without the human-machine interface. We’re done. God’s creation has ran it’s course. Unless man intervenes we’re doomed. Here we are. Technology and biology merging, seamlessly. The very thing which reflects the core yearning of the trans-humanist philosophy.
But, I nearly forgot, you must close your eyes otherwise you won't see anything.
Let’s imagine a sprawling, landscape where the elements of the Wonderland we know from the Lewis Carroll classic combine with a set of futuristic, cybernetic enhancements, also know as the devolution of trans-humanism.
The landscape itself is the blend of organic, artificial, and metal that you may, or may not, expect to see. This is a transformed Wonderland. Trees push more toward Sneedville with fiber optic leaves. Rivers now flow with mix of liquid metal and cooling serum. The ground has areas covered in a carpet of nanobots changing the terrain at will. Imagine how one could get totally lost in this scenery, here is there and there is here was the norm in Wonderland. Well, that was before the shift. Now, now the bots change the landscape in a flash.
The sky, a mixture of natural clouds fighting their way around a glimpse of blue skies, breaking through the matrix every now and then. Those clouds intermingling with floating, holographic displays that make it almost impossible to escape anything, at anytime. Not quite Skynet but all-seeing, always watching.
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’ ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat. ‘I don’t much care where – ’ said Alice. ‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.
With the landscape somewhat set, let’s see who we see...
Alice
Alice has moved past being curious; now she's augmented. The forced upgrades send her longing for the days of innocence, when she first tumbled into this land. When she first fell into her deep slumber.
The uncontrollable shifts, are now a thing of the past. Alice’s limbs are now enhanced with a type of tech that provides superhuman agility, flexibility all in a size that’s fitting to navigate the twisted, illogical paths of Wonderland.
She can reach the heights of the trees and the small of the blades of grass with a simple command. More of a thought than a command. The neural chip, her optic digital overlays, have provided her with an interface of options. Now, curiosity is limited. Alice has a constant stream of data about everything, every creature, she encounters. Go ask Alice, now she definitely knows.
The Cheshire Cat
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'
This cat's grin isn't just a smile; it's a holographic projection, flickering in and out of existence. The Cat’s body, a mesh of organic matter and machine, with parts of its fur replaced by sleek, metallic surfaces that change color with its mood.
The Mad Hatter
I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.
He's a tech wizard, with gadgets and gizmos covering his tea party table. His hat appears to be a neural interface, connecting him to a vast network of information. Hatter’s Hat is also a device to manipulate time, making the tea party eternal. It’s now Hatter’s choice, no longer a punishment of Time.
The Queen of Hearts
I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.
The Queen’s power is now amplified by cybernetic enhancements. Her scepter is a device to controls her drones & cyborgs, enforcing her whims with precision and terror. Her heart-shapes calling cards are scattered throughout Wonderland, digital and pulsing with light. A quick warning of her arrival.
The White Rabbit
Alice: "How long is forever?" White Rabbit: "Sometimes, just one second."
Now the Rabbit’s obsession with time will never escape him. Lateness is in the past. the White Rabbit is a cyborg with a clock embedded in his chest. His pocket watch is now smart, linked to the neural hive that controls all of Wonderland.
Tweedledee and Tweedledum
These twins are now identical in a new way, with synchronized cybernetic limbs and shared neural links, allowing them to finish each other's sentences and movements with eerie synchronicity. Something went terribly wrong with their latest download.
The Caterpillar
As Caterpillar sits atop his mushroom it’s clear to see he has become part natural, part bioengineered. He exhales smoke to form digital screens. These screens display his various philosophies and riddles. His body is segmented, each with it’s own unique tech, capable of independent thought and implementation.
This Caterpillar isn't just a sage; he's a living, breathing (or perhaps, processing) embodiment of the fusion between the eccentric and the technological. This leaves all questioning the essence of life and thought in a world where the line between machine and organism has blurred.
Well, there you have it. I hope you see this vision of Wonderland not just as a place of absurd fantasy but as a realm where the boundaries between human, machine, and nature blur. Where every creature and element has been touched by the hand of trans-humanism. How it explores themes of identity, technology, and aspects of what it means to be alive in a world where the traits to distinguish organic and synthetic have vanished.
The amusing elements show us just how unpredictable, with a potentially dreamlike quality of life, a highly technological future could be. This dreamlike future seems to be a goal of things like Metaverse (virtual reality) with the assistance of devices like Meta Quest or Apple Vision. Millions are using these escapes from reality already. Having a Ready Player One dystopian future is not something I find appealing for our kids.
There are forces among us who want the very definition of humanity changed. The same entities who push children to change their God-given gender are the same ones who want you to easily accept our blend with syn-bio. It’s not because they care about the survival of humanity but because they want to destroy God’s perfect creation once and for all. While our nature wants to make this about us, it’s not. We are used by evil in an attempt to devalue God.
Fantasy is used to explore themes of how we identify ourselves. With this final influx into the age of technology, the ‘new golden age’, we should be celebrating boldly what it means to be human. What it means to be a child of the Living God, celebrating the sacrifice that Jesus Christ has provided to all.
She who saves a single soul, saves the universe.
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
Blessings,
