When we first moved to Marin County in 1987, we quickly learned about the Harmonic Convergence.  This was described as the first globally synchronized meditation.  Astrologers were ecstatic about the unique alignment of the Sun, Moon and six of the eight planets in a grand trine.  Throw in some Mayan cosmology and Shirley MacLaine’s announcement of a window of light allowing access to higher realms of awareness and it became irresistible.  Some people were predicting that the Harmonic Convergence would usher in a five-year period of Earth’s “cleansing”, where many of the planet’s “false structures of separation” would collapse.  Since we had recently moved to Marin Country from Michigan, where there are real people, we were unprepared for the excitement.  On August 16, 1987, thousands of people flocked to Mt. Tamalpais to hum in the new world.  We began to have serious doubts about our decision to relocate to California.

The next morning the only noticeable result was several thousand tired and hungry people sitting on the top of a mountain worn out by excessive humming.  The world, as we know it, didn’t seem to even notice.

What was so intriguing was that so many, supposedly intelligent and well-educated people, fell for this nonsense in the first place.  But, while gathering on Mt. Tamalpais to try and hum in the new era was weird, it wasn’t particularly dangerous.  Eventually they all came back down and returned to their teaching positions in Berkley.

But the problem is that more and more people, egged on by the liberal main stream media, began to believe in this perfect liberal world.  In 2006 they were able to put a Democratic party dominated by left wing liberals in control of our congress.  Then to make the deal complete, in 2008 they managed to elect Barack Obama President of the United States and gave him a super majority of liberal Democrats in both houses of congress.

While humming in the Harmonic Convergence didn’t do much harm, liberals taking over our government was a whole different matter.  Liberals really thought the 2008 election, like the Harmonic Convergence, would speed us on the glorious path to world peace and universal prosperity.  They did manage to gain almost complete control over our government, but power without principle is pathetic.  Humming can be great fun, but it is a lousy management strategy.  The results were what should have been expected.  There was no world peace.  There was no universal prosperity and ultimately the liberal left finds itself, once again, stranded on a mountain top, tired, hungry and bitterly disappointed with results.
