Hey, what's really going on? Who knows.
The system's
broke—we know that much—but what can we do about it? Let's check the
general state of things to get a clue or two.
Aren't you sick of
being clueless?
OUR BIG FAT WORLD MESS
Every day more and
more ideas, conjecture and downright fantasies about our big fat mess circulate
the globe. We find a plethora of lies, disinformation, misinformation,
some few truths great and small, an army of agents at work around the traps—and
who knows whose 'side' they're on?—and somewhere in the muddle is a greater
truth we can scarcely wrap our heads around.
As soon as we think
we've got things worked out something new pops up to change it all again.
And don't you just hate it when that happens?
Because of its sheer
magnitude we won't repeat a maudlin list of woes here—let's simply agree we
have a mammoth problem. No, no, not some sort of revived Ice-Age-DNA
inundation—at least not that I know of yet—I'm talking about a lot of very
dirty laundry on the save-our-sorry-selves list.
In any case,
wherever it all came from, whatever form it might take, whatever goals may be
mooted, however dastardly or benevolent any individual or group intention
appears to be or whoever the key players ultimately are, one thing we can say
for sure is, "We have issues." Control issues—and lots of 'em.
As we try to figure
out what's up, what's down and what's all around we follow from one mad story
to the next to uncover more and more details, only to discover they're still
mere traces of a plan so complex and interwoven its bloody tentacles reach into
every facet of human culture, thought, emotion, experience and activity.
Such a pervasive influence affects our ability to act constructively too.
Or was that the point? Whatever. It certainly is a big fat mess.
When we begin our
search for just how deep the old rabbit hole goes we begin to see behavior we
can scarcely comprehend operating at seemingly impenetrable levels. No
matter how much we discover or think we know all we seem to be doing is digging
deeper and deeper into a bottomless dung pile. Let's just hope the holy
grail isn't in there. The rabbit hole is looking less and less inviting
every day.
As we plow through
all this muck we find plans within plans, and backup plans for backup
plans. Where in the universe does it all end?
Such information as
we can uncover is important to know of course and we'll look more at why
further on, but its sheer volume and complexity quickly leads to
overwhelm. It's hard to function when your head spins—not to mention the
smell. It's dead and fishy.
With mountains of
dung—er, deception—everywhere we look, we shake our heads in dismay and ask
ourselves, who on Earth can we trust now? Suspicion affects us so
profoundly we can hardly conceive of what we're really dealing with or where to
go from here. In many ways we feel paralyzed. And that's definitely
not a good thing to have happen in a dung pile.
Once we recover
sufficiently from the initial shock, it seems there's nothing else to do but
push on through so we can find our way back out again. What's that old
saying again? Oh yeah, in for a penny in for a pound—but at the risk of
mixing metaphors and stirring up criticism, if it's not a pound of our flesh we
have at stake it might be something even worse. Who knows? What's
coming up next?
So we pick away as
fast as we can at every lock we find and hope it's the last one—it isn't.
We try to spread the word, absorbing ridicule from naive relatives, friends and
colleagues left, right and center, all snoring away looking so vulnerable in
their skivvies while they're laid out on the couch in front of their BFF—the
good ol' Teev.
Of course the army
of disinfo agents doesn't make things any easier. They undermine genuine
credibility with the same ease a butcher bird pulls worms from the lawn after a
summer rain—just as they're paid to. Then they send us off on the latest
wild rabbit chase with nary a cut lunch or waterbag in sight: dozens, hundreds,
thousands of us all screaming like banshees to hurry up or we'll 'miss it' as
we leap hopefully but fruitlessly over the fence that reins in the back
forty. Meanwhile, up front and center stage, the curtain's going down on
the next act and we're all left holding the colostomy bag. Yeah, they're
just that good. So far.
Well, all this
effort takes a huge amount of time, and almost all our attention too—not to
mention a very thick skin. If we're not careful we'll need to turn into
reptiles just to survive!
Following
breadcrumbs does offer another advantage as well, just not for those of us
trying to find out what's really going on. The thing is it takes us so
long to follow all these wormholes that those who leave the crumbs have all the
time they need to find ways to work around any chinks in their plans we
discover—well, the ones they don't want us to know about anyway. They
leave so many weird clues you have to wonder. I mean they're not that
stupid—are they?
There are times when
the entire system seems like it's been one big fat setup from the very
start. You know, a little light entertainment for some mentally
challenged entity or other; someone or something with nothing better to
do. Let's put it this way, if God's behind all these shenanigans he/she
or it must be quite unimaginative really, and bored out of its universal
mind. I for one can come up with heaps more fun stuff to do.
In any case, we know
we're being played one way or another—hell, even the players are being
played—but what else can we do?
Well, the first
thing is to kick the knuckleheads out of our brain cavities and realize there
are practical solutions to every single challenge we face. And we should
never ever forget that, especially when things look grim.
LOOK OUT
If we stretch our
minds and imaginations really far and wide, maybe we can think outside the
corner of the box we've been cowering in these eons past. So while we
continue chipping away at the leviathan we can also figure out how to replace
the whole sorry broken mess.
Groups all around
the world are trying different things as we speak—some are even coming up with
great ideas—but we remain disconnected and this presents another problem.
That's a wooly mammoth of a problem in and of itself. Yeah it is.
But why again?
Well now, let's see:
any void and every niche left at the end of this current system breakdown will
be quickly filled by something; if it hasn't already been planned by the usual
suspects that is. Problem; reaction; solution. Remember? And
that almost bears repeating because as we're coming to understand more and more
clearly every day, it's unlikely to be anything we want. Not even
remotely. We can't afford to leave things up to chance, nor should
we. We're simply much better than that.
Still, unless we
have a clue about where we're going who knows where we might end up? Dead
ends abound in a dung maze and we want to find a way out. What we need
then is an entirely new way to frame our world.
In that case, let's
spend some time imagining what form it might take.
A COLLECTIVE DREAM
If we can't agree
right now, and we don't appear to be able to—not least because we've lost faith
in our 'cherished' institutions and even trust in each other and ourselves, and
maybe because we're no longer sure what we really need or even want we've been
so blinded by science and all the rest of it—then try to find one good reason
why we can't all rediscover a way to dream
together.
Why can't we work on
a goal that's so simple, flexible and universally acceptable that we realize
some form of common ground unites us all at least conceptually right now
despite what 'they' tell us? There's no reason, and we can.
It's worth taking
the time and making the effort because our reward is potentially and imminently
huge: we get to cease fighting each other.
There are many more benefits of course, but the least we can say is,
"Hey, that's a bonus right there."
In the process we
can learn how to trust each other again too (which is vital as we all should
know by now). We just need to be willing to accept that we'll figure out
how to resolve all the nagging details that divide us so effectively even
now—that we can resolve our bickering
somewhere at a future point in time when we have the stability to do it.
And the stability we're talking about here? It can be one we create.
We're being played
for mugs and have been for a long time. We're plied with deliberate
distractions and diversions and then like total suckers we get caught up in the
stuff even when we know the game. But let's think seriously about all
this. Do we really need to cross every t and dot every i here and now
when we scarcely see eye to eye on anything?
Is that even possible? Let's leave the mug's game behind us for crying
out loud. Isn't it time already?
What we really need
to do is paint a bigger picture. So let's formulate an entirely new
paradigm that works individually and all together. There are 7 billion of
us give or take, surely someone can come up with a really simple understanding
we can all share in. I mean really, how hard can that be?
One thing's for sure
though, to discover it we first need to have faith in ourselves. And then we need to remember this simple
truth: dreams inspire vision, and with
sufficient passion those visions have the power to create reality—our
reality. Well if that doesn't sound like a practical sequence to follow I
don't know what is. The old-school exclusive scientific game's pretty
much played out by now, so don't you think it's time to try something new?
Instead of fighting
over each and every point—which only slows us down at best and often stops us
dead in our tracks, literally—perhaps we can find something else to share; a common dream of something better than the
worn-out system we feel stuck in (it's so tired it moans and groans every time
it has to get up, just like we do). So if we come up with something new,
instead of increasing resistance to what we don't
want we can put our energy into creating what we do.
By thinking
seriously outside the box we can imagine a framework that's malleable and
nebulous enough in terms of its specific content
that we realize we all hold the power together to manifest our individual and
collective potential in ways we're all willing and able to live with.
Sound like a
sensible plan? Good. Let's give it a go.
So just how do we
construct a framework with room for everyone to live creatively, sustainably,
freely and amiably. By the way, do you recognize these attributes?
They're the basic intellectual and emotional requirements for human survival.
Think about it.
Well anyway,
contemplating all this a model springs to mind that may be worth
considering. See what you think. Maybe you have a better idea; in
which case, spill it, please. We need all the help we can give each
other.
Until someone comes
up with a better plan then, let's imagine this one for now and find out where
it might lead us...
THE IDEAL
First consider an idea; an idea of a structure knit together in
some fantastic way, made up of twirling multicolored yarns and fibers where
every color and type represents each one of us.
![]() |
Fiber Field Scaffold |
Let's say we all
imagine this idea, holding it in our mind's eye as we build our own segment of
yarn to contribute to a potential we can't entirely conceptualize. We
don't need to and that's the point.
We manifest this
idea into form from the inside out and from multiple points simultaneously—and
each one of us has a point. You see, it's a grassroots effort.
There's no limit to its size.
Cohesion of the
final structure only occurs when everything 'pops' into being at the precise
moment we connect all the pieces. Once we do, we get a better look at
what we have altogether, and how we might work things out from there.
But what might this
ideal be? Obviously we need to keep it very, very simple. Well,
here's a thought:
To freely create a sustainable connection between us
all.
If this is the
thoughtform we seed together then our individual work will also be liberating,
creative, constructive, and sustainable. And who doesn't want that?
Oh yeah. Well, besides them.
We're talking about regular folk here; those still in touch with their hearts
and soul as well as their minds.
Let's look at the
phrase to get a better feel for it.
Freedom speaks for
itself. Creativity is the foundation of all that exists so it makes sense
to include that. It contains the idea of constructive versus destructive
behavior and effects.
Sustainability is a no-brainer too. It's a catchall really that includes everything we need to make sure we end up with a working system. Things like everybody having enough of what they need to thrive; making sure we're willing to care for each other, ourselves, and the world we stake our lives on; the ability to keep the system going with minimal effort and no downsides; the high valuation of not-so-quaint ideas like cooperation; that kind of thing.
Connection is necessary to complete the circuit and we'll get into more of that here in a short while. 'Us all' means no one's left out. That way we don't have a bunch of disgruntled folk causing trouble (yes, you and me included!). That pretty much covers all the basics without overdoing it.

Because it's a
simple idea—and because we don't have to worry now about how it all fits
together or actually manifests in the end—we can begin working on it today.
Fair enough, there's
plenty to do, but how can it work if we're all doing our own thing? Won't
we have problems? Nope, we won't.
See, this ideal
forms a substructure or what we might
call the primary dimension or seed-form of our new system. We know it
will work because each solution we come up with individually is based on the same basic premise.
It's like painting a
mural together with a common theme and harmonious palette. That's how we
make it pretty. Pretty and neat. Pretty because it's harmonious and
neat because it's organized.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Being an individual
contribution of course each part, each piece of yarn is highly personal.
It reflects the unique perspective, life experience, desires and goals we
have. You know, the individuality we all cherish. And because it's
a grassroots effort, local issues are managed locally like they should
be. If something can't be handled at the local level we're all connected
so we have the resources of the whole to draw on if we need.
Interestingly, while
it's still being worked on it'll probably appear
somewhat chaotic, maybe messy and disconnected. That's because at
this point its essential organization isn't yet visible. But at the
moment of unification suddenly a working system appears. It's like
magic. But it's not. It's just logical.
By holding a shared
idea of this new system in formation while we work on it, our seemingly
disconnected efforts establish an harmonious whole where everyone has a
voice. And the underlying structure created by the shared ideal then
becomes the 'mass consciousness' of those who generate it—that's us. It's
the product of our individually inspired yet collectively oriented awareness
and values.
While originally
formulated in what we've called the primary dimension of the ideal, the system
our collective dreaming creates emerges from the interplay of our unique
twirling yarns—like a wildflower field grows together from disparate seeds to
create a fabulous tapestry of form, scent and color.
In this case, every
part of the picture tells a part of the story and the whole is based on our
common theme. This theme is our fundamental lore—or you can call it law
if you really want to, either way it's the same thing. After all, the
so-called law is just an official story of our shared beliefs. The
difference is that since we completely believe in them we just accept them at
face value. But they're power over us is as nebulous in the end as the
lore the law is based on. It's our acceptance and compliance that make
them real. And these alone limit us. See how that works? Well
we can use the same idea for our ideal, except this time we keep it
simple. That makes it manageable.
The distinction
between the lore and the law was promulgated by some being or other who decided
they wanted to control everything. So they separated them by
spelling. Remember those wacky movies and cartoons they show us about an
insane genius after world domination? Yeah, we can't assume they were
kidding. Well, let's get over it now and move on then, shall we?
Realize that because
we share the same ideal—one we all
consciously agree on this time—the unique aspects of our individualized vision
seed are related from the very start. Really, we can hardly fail.
THE FIELD
Once the parts are
connected the system becomes a multidimensional field so there's room for
everyone to live and grow inside it—just as that wildflower field creates
realms for a variety of other life. But in this case our consciousness is
the field and we're the life within. In other words, we create the kind
of playground we want to play in. What a good idea.
We can feel the
presence of this energy field because its consciousness is ours, individually
thought into being and constantly being knit together. Our awareness
becomes the interwoven structure of the basic 'fabric' itself, so how can we
not know what we're doing? Furthermore, no one who participates is left
out of the picture. And that makes a nice change too.
Imagine a human
version of the wildflower field intertwining with the natural world in cliques
of cultural adaptation, just as different regions produce their unique mix of
flora and fauna. Within our ideal framework we're the flow-ers of
consciousness who co-create the structure itself as well as the physical life
experienced individually within the field—and we're united by our awareness.
Look, we live in
such a field anyway right?—one we're fabricating over and over again both
individually and collectively whether we realize it or not. Our every
thought, emotion and action creates and sustains it. These are what unite
or divide us. So who needs an 'alien' threat, whether it's real or
imaginary? Why wait for that act to play out and fulfill someone else's
loony-tune agenda?
Our greatest threats
to getting this done are apathy and resistance—and of course our doubt.
But we can reprogram ourselves. Its better we do it than we remain at the
mercy of some other programmer.
To make a world we
want to live in all we need to do is agree on a shared ideal, and then act in
unison. This single event has the power to manifest a quantum change in
the electromagnetic field we live in, generating a phase shift of unimaginable effect.
Which brings us to
some more technical information.
THE PHI-RAY
Now, it only makes
sense that every center is connected through zero point to the source of all
existence, doesn't it? Think about that for a moment. The center of
everything is connected to the source field. Where else would a center connect?
The center is where everything and anything emerges from and revolves
around. That's Source. And the center is the heart, right?
Well, we've known
all along it's the heart that matters most even when they tried to push that
make-believe about the will and the mind being the only thing that matters. Now before anyone gets upset,
let's be clear that there's nothing wrong with the mind, in fact it's key in
its own way. But the thing is to use them at
the same time.
When we use our
freewill mindfully to center in our open
hearts and connect with Source, we phire in to access infinite knowledge, time,
existence, wisdom and power while remaining grounded on Earth. It might
sound flaky or impossible but it's true, and the only reason it sounds odd is
because we've been programmed not to believe it. In fact deep down we
know this already; we've just become separated from our inner wisdom. So
all we really need to do then is re-member it. Even science is finally
coming on board with this one because the evidence is too obvious to ignore.
So when we center in
our hearts, engage our minds and act with determination we fulfill the design
potential of our bio-electromagnetic bodies, engaging 100% of our brain
capacity—not the 10% we typically use or even the 15–20% of a so-called genius.
And when we're on line—or connected to Source—our 'computing' power is far
beyond that of any machine or so-called artificial intelligence. How do I
know? That's easy, I've done it. It was entirely brilliant and I'm
willing to bet you'll love it too.
This connection is
available to us right now. The speed with which information and
understanding is conveyed equates roughly to instantaneous. Time as a
constraint disappears and entire paradigms are downloaded or accessed in the
literal blinking of an eye in ways too complex and interwoven for the brain to
process into words as thought, let alone to speak or write down. Words
themselves become poor simulations of a vast well of wisdom. The
spell-ing is broken. It's like magic
but the experience is so natural you'll wonder how you ever did without
it. It's effortless!
Unless we have some
kind of massive brain disease, maybe, we all have this capacity.
Actually, it's the twinned dis-eases of fear and doubt that constrained
this ability in the first place. Interesting isn't it that fear and doubt
are the two key elements of all the nefarious plans we uncover.
Coincidence? You decide.
Whatever you come up
with, just know this: the energy field generated by unconditional and inclusive
love is the lock and conscious intent is the key that opens it. This is
where the phi ray comes in. Come on people, you don't think phi's the
basis of the golden ratio for no good
reason, do you?
Anyway, to achieve
this globally all we need to do is amass
sufficient power to generate the field and complete the connection. This
power comes from all of us—whirring
together. Once the system's up and running, well, then we're really whir-king. So 'work' need be a dirty
word no longer. If we could just get past the fear and doubt we'd be more
than halfway there.
Alright then, given
all this, if we all flow in the same direction—all 7 billion of us—what kind of
technology do you think can overcome that?
There isn't
any. None. Nada. Zip.
And who knows what
potentials we'll re-member to liberate when humanity 'hums' as one? Of
course, I know what happened to me, but I was the only one doing it at the time
so who can really say? What we can say though is this: we won't need the
help of any 'aliens,' not least because
there won't be any. Yay! Or boo! That all depends on how
excited you are about them I guess. But why won't there be any aliens?
Look at it this way:
the field of pure love includes everything and everyone. It has to or
it's not pure. Inclusion is a
physical function of the geometry of phi. So there are no exceptions: no
enemies and no 'strangers,' hence no aliens either. This is infinitely
more inclusive than the feelings of love we typically experience now. In
fact, it's positively orgasmic (no kidding). The phi-ray and love are
both all-inclusive. Actually they're just different aspects of the same
fundamental energy. That's why we get all hot and bothered when we fall
in love. It's also why we feel warm and fuzzy when we think about
anything we love. All forms of love are functions of the sacred phire.
Ironically, it's an involutionary field that leads to the evolution of Homo Sapiens. The phi ray is the way we do it, so we lay phi, through love.
And suprise!
This is the purpose of the Human Race. It's not a competition between us but a race to consciousness we all
share and are in the process of realizing. Well, hopefully anyway.
Whether we all get to do it is up to you and everyone else as well, although
with a critical mass we can positively affect the field for all Earth, everyone
and everything here, even those who don't get to such a point of awakening at
that time. Still, the more the merrier, as we so like to say. With
more doing it at the same time the shift will be more profound and more stable
as well. Once we turn this corner, so to speak, we'll never look
back.
To support the
effort first we need to be willing to build our ideal form together. That
way we all know what we're all doing. Note: we know what WE are doing. And so there's another
bonus with all this too, because then we don't actually need secrets anymore. In the hyper-connected
state there are no secrets anyway so we might as well get used to it.
Having said that, maybe we don't all absolutely
need to know how you wad your toilet paper, so you can still keep that
one to yourself I guess. Of course if it has major implications you might
want to pass it along—the information that is, not the paper! (Thanks
anyway.)
But if all that's
not enough, sharing our awareness also reinforces our essential unity—which re-phires the system. Hey, it's
self-sustaining! Once we flip the switch currency just flows everywhere
we want it to. Just like it ought to.
And the trust issue
evaporates as well because we know that what unites us is a grand core idea—our
ideal—one that each of us contributes to
uniquely in a multidimensional field, a sort of 'webocracy' if you like.
And there's yet
another bonus we should mention here too. Because it's so highly
distributed it's impossible to take down.
It's a fractal
system this one. That means its interior patterns reflect the whole and
interconnect the way each plant in a field has the same basic system of roots,
stem and branches, and reaches out to its neighbors to cover and share common
ground. In the same way our system can flex to encompass our hopes and
dreams as we work out the practicalities of joining each part together within
an organic living energy matrix.
It's flexible,
resilient, and so are we. We created it.
LOOK IN
The moment our
segment joins another we're free to explore what we've created together, and
then we weave another dimension within as a living expression of our shared
existence.
From inside we
determine the texture, quality, and greater meaning of what we're achieving as
part of the unified whole. It's where we actively play together. Each
part plays a part, right?
And everybody's now
officially got an invitation. So who wants to come to the party?
THE INDIVIDUAL
Of course from
inside 'the system' we have a more limited view since we're focused on our own
part, but because of this we enjoy a detailed impression that's inaccessible
from the outside.
And as we increase
our harmonious activity we increase the whole as well. We expand, refine
and explore together because what we create together
is shared, and every contribution counts.
As long as we agree
on a simple ideal for our new structure there's no limit to how it can be
utilized and enjoyed. There's no more need for global regulations and
blanket laws that would quickly smother our creative potential. We
legislate ourselves. Wouldn't that be a nice change?
Diversity makes
sense because we don't want a monoculture, we want variety.
THE GROUP
Now, groups can
develop as subsets too. By agreeing to further parameters to refine a
particular portion of the whole they get to form a sub-association. And
what's more natural for social beings like us than that? We can join a
subgroup but we don't have to. As long as we share the ideal we're part
of the greater unit without any more effort or interaction than we want to put
to it.
In the wildflower
field, groups of like kind mass together to create a patchwork visible from a
greater distance, but smaller groups or even individuals within these swaths of
color create interest and beauty as well. The potential mix of flowers is
infinite within the finity of the field, just as it is for us.
So these groups can
construct and explore whatever they choose to do together. The only
condition is that all their activities are willing, creative, connective and
sustainable—which simply means they don't threaten the substructure that holds
the system together in the first place.
To use our
wildflower analogy again: we don't encourage invasive plants, nor do we destroy
our soil's fertility or pollute the air and water. And that's a natural
assumption too when you think about it. How did we go so far wrong on
that one? None of us wants a nuclear reactor in our own backyard, so why would
we put one in our neighbors? The whole Earth is our backyard and
everyone's a neighbor. Just take a mental trip to the Moon, look back at
Earth and you'll figure it out.
To put this all
another way, within the framework of our new field, we're free to do whatever
we want as long as we support the structure holding the stage together—our
shared ideal. It's that simple. It really is.
And since we
understand our system is part of a greater whole and we cohabit here, naturally
the stage refers to all of Earth as well, including her atmosphere and even
extended space (we don't want our wildflowers to destroy the forest, for
example, because they shelter the field). So we include the balance of
life on Earth, particularly the consciousness of life—which means life
generally and all of us too.
THE KEY
The keystones of
this shared ideal are also simple:
- Our conscious
agreement to assume individual responsibility:
To maintain the integrity of the ideal that forms the common ground—or stage—where we play; - Our willing agreement to share what
we create with each other:
To maintain balance and connectivity, and reinforce diversity within unity by realizing that as one grows all benefit.
That's it.
Within this ideal
form each individual or subgroup is free to utilize space in its own way, and
in fact is encouraged to do this to
enhance the experience of all who relate to the system. That's another
big change from the status quo.
Now the term
'competition' takes on a whole new meaning too, one that's more in line with
its own Latin roots: com (together) and petition (seek). So this creative quest
forms the basis of our individual life experiences, in which case the 'work'
each of us does is enjoyed, shared, and highly valued as an enrichment of our
collective creative potential. And now every job is a good job because
every job is important.
Regions attain a
distinct cultural flavor according to the particular environment and desires of
those who live there—just as they used to before the globalized monolith of
corporatocracy invaded, drowning us in its relentless mac-doodle philosophy and
synching our wonderful diversity into the homogenous pit of
bore-the-living-daylights-outa-ya. Let's face it, absolute uniformity is
not only unnecessary it's entirely undesirable.
Remember too,
homogeneity is more than simply boring, its weak. We're looking to
sustain a creative, flexible, harmonious whole, not a repressed global
monotony. With this shared ideal we honor each expression and are free to
choose our own. The integrity of the
system is the responsible individual entwined within the whole.
Our individual
creative expression then becomes the experience of life manifesting as our
heart's desire. This is our legitimate reward for seeking together.
THE HOLOGRAPH
Now, when we pan out
from the individualized realm we begin to see and feel even more holistically.
In this way each
human holds his or her own memory as well as what we create together.
Remember, we understand the foundation of what we're doing from the very
beginning. And since information is shared we foster a holographic
awareness as well: every individualized part is a reflection of the ideal of
the whole, and vice versa.
It's a resilient and
equitable system when a shared ideal reigns: no one stands above another—no
entity or group holds all the power, or all the risk.
No more lies; no
more wars; no more dictatorship; and no more dung (once we sort that out we can
place it in the compost and use it to fertilize the gardens of our new
playground).
DIFFERING
Of course the most
difficult part will be resolving 'disagreements.' Clearly we need to
avert destructive conflicts since we're being creative, right? But look,
much of this is eliminated from the outset. How?
With a holistic
vision of healthy interconnection and a secure environment to live in, and by
understanding the value and effect of working relationships and agreeing to
creatively share, discrepancies will be fewer and generally worked out locally.
We don't use a sledgehammer to tap a pin into a corkboard. Issues will
also be understood by us all because we share what we have, so the resolution
of any problems that come up will be well supported too. This is one of
the natural benefits of a holographic perspective.
Now, obviously, this
ideology is a quantum leap from where we stand today. It's a big ask so
how can we manage to do it?
"It's
impossible," I hear someone yell from the back of the theater.
"You're loony!" Well, I might appear to be, but the proposal
itself isn't and it isn't impossible either.
PROGRAMMING
All this fighting
we've become so 'good' at is unnatural in the first place.
Witness the trauma
involved in getting us to hurt someone or take another's life. Of course
'our' military and police forces put their neophytes through boot camps and
grunt courses to dehumanize the consciences of cadets, instilling fear and
obedience along with a sense of unquestioning loyalty—but in fact almost every
institution or corporation has a similar program in place. They're just
disguised in psychologically softened terms so the 'killing' is done to
competitors or the unwashed public with their contrary opinions and
inconvenient demands.
Deep black programs
have been set up all around the world to study this phenomenon (so we can
figure there must be something to it) and it takes a great deal of effort, time
and persistence to 'succeed' at controlling the human mind and spirit. TV
programming, advertising, media of all sorts, political party grandstanding,
race cards, religions and the education system—all these and more are needed to
keep us believing we're all rats in a race and pitted against each other.
Just where did you think the keeping-up-with-the-Jones' dictum came from?
I'm telling you it's
unnatural for us to inflict hurt or harm on another. It has to be
programmed into us with great effort and it's been done relentlessly to
maintain the order of some rather ill individuals who probably had it done to
them. You're free to believe me or not of course, even if you're
programmed too. But remember, we can
reprogram ourselves. We can rediscover who we really are, and just
as importantly who we want to be. We do this by reassessing what we're
doing, how we're doing it, and why.
The language we use
everyday is part of a powerful program. This is why what we say and how
we say it matters.
So there are two
levels to spoken language we can look at here.
First, we have a
general understanding of what we say and what we've been told it means that
provides a superficial level of intent. Second, there's a much deeper level of
meaning that goes to the source of sound itself. At this level a much
more significant undercurrent of intent is expressed.
It's interesting too
that if we look at the words we use and the current meanings assigned to them
we discover how many have changed over time. There's a pattern to this
change that's highly suggestive, especially when we find specific eras where most
of these were made. The question of why can be answered by two words:
power and control. OK, so that's technically three, but you know what I
mean.
Anyway, most of the
negative words we use today (if not all) originally had positive
connotations. They've been subtly tweaked over the centuries to produce
an entirely different meaning when we use them day to day. There are
lateral associations between homonyms that have been lost to us as well.
So we need to go back to the source to interpret what we say and how we say
it. We can do this by following the etymology first to examine the
original meanings of words, and then go even beyond that to understand the
basic sound codings.
There's a whole new
level of meaning in these codes that speaks to the genesis of existence through
energetic flow—inspiration, aspiration, respiration and expiration, for
example. This is the primal breath articulated in many religious and
esoteric traditions. Once emergent, energy plays
(or pi-lays) to form all manner
of things. Patterns are created and these are held so we don't have to
start at the beginning every time we want to manifest something.
Think of the layers
of programming language that allow your computer to run easily and efficiently,
providing a user-friendly interface for those who don't understand how to
manipulate the code itself. By creating layers of languages—or
sub-routines, embedded programs and so on—we don't reinvent the wheel every
time we want to do something new. We build one program on top of and even
within the base operating system.
But what happens
when we can't understand or access the code itself. Now we're vulnerable
to infections of all shapes, sizes and effects, including the ability to
parasitize or hijack our computers and wrest control away from us.
Witness the explosion of anti-virus software. Have you ever wondered
where it all started, and why it's so rampant? Are all these hackers just
that bored? Or is there another sub-plot at work behind the scenes?
Or several?
In any case, this
analogy shows us the general process for energetic waveforms to manifest as All
That Is, and 'language' is key at every level, whether it's thought or
imagined, symbolized, dreamed, spoken or written, and even when it's acted out
within the sub-routine of our physical bodies—let's also notice how we speak of
genetic code as well. There are no accidents here. And not all
language is alphabetical. We have the sonorous language of music, and
mathematics too. Then there are languages of color, texture, taste and
scent, as well as archetypal visual languages spoken of long ago by Plato and
still in use in indigenous cultures wherever they've managed to survive.
But let's take a
quick look at some basic concepts that may help us understand how this actually
works.
Briefly, once energy
fires through zero point (the heart of
the matter) it emerges from the ZIPfield (Zero-Infinite Potential field) or in
current physics parlance the 'unified field' then individuates to eventually
create the diversity of existence we see within our limited range of view, as
well as all the rest we don't consciously perceive too. This is the
process of universal manifestation and it's
based upon differentiation. In other words, without distinction nothing
can appear to be at all.
So the conflict we
see today is an aberration rooted in a misunderstanding of the firing process
itself and it culminates in the fear of annihilation—which in truth cannot
be. Only nothing cannot be.
And then we find that the term 'nothing' presents problems we can't
solve. For example, how can something be nothing? And if nothing
isn't something, what manner of 'thing' is it? It's no thing, certainly, but then we're saying no
thing is. Fair enough: so what is
this 'no' thing that is? We're on shaky ground here, that's for
sure. What me might say instead is that All exists, always has and always
will.
We can argue
endlessly about the validity of citing 'nothing' in any form whatsoever.
Yet no thing is the foundation of who and what we are in this apparent
world. So this conflict as we think of it and express today is no more
necessary than a fish needing to learn how to swim. Understanding how
this All works and the role the phi ray plays is key to manifesting a peaceful
creative world.
There are many, many
clues to be seen in our languages once we look. We introduced the idea
when we noted the relationship between the phi ray and love. This is a
good start but we'll go a little further when we examine the related hidden nature
of fire, flow, laugh and life as well. These are particularly important
aspects of the generative program.
In the meantime, we
can analyze what we mean by 'disagreements' and instead consider these more
appropriately as differences. It's not
simply a convoluted question of semantics but a simple adjustment that produces
a powerful effect: where we saw conflict we now see diversity.
In terms of our
wildflower analogy again, the plants in the field don't disagree with each
other when one has a yellow star-shaped flower for instance, and another is
white and tubular, they're simply different. In fact it's their variety
and contrast that creates the field's beauty.
Is there any good
reason not to be the same?
CULTURE
In the natural world
we know very well that diversity is an advantage: monocultures are weak and
disease-prone. If we're a monoculture we become weak too.
Furthermore, variety is more than just the spice of life, it's the reason and
the means for it.
If diversity weren't
important and valuable and desired, why
would we all have different bodies with different eyes to see? Why would
there be such a multiplicity of species and groups within species here on
Earth, let alone what we don't know exists elsewhere? In all the world
for all time no two snowflakes are the same. Now what's that supposed to
mean? It's an intriguing fact. Shall we just ignore it?
The practice of
permaculture addresses difference with integration, rendering toxic action
unnecessary. As we each connect our unique contribution to an aggregate
founded on our shared ideal we achieve integration too. It's
natural. And with integration what we call conflict and other toxic
behavior dissolves.
Variety strengthens
all components of an integrated whole so they can flourish. And once
balance is attained overall it's maintained quite effortlessly.
Furthermore, if
we're all on the same 'side' we've got each other's back, don't we? We
know we're not alone. Just like threads and nodes support each other to
create and maintain a web, so do we.
This new structure
is our ideal life-support web because we make it that way.
RACE
The concept of
'competition' the term conflict carries
perpetuates the idea of the rat race as well as a brutalist interpretation of
the phrase 'survival of the fittest.' We, of course, are the Human Race,
which means we either continue to compete against each other or advance as a
species, all together. It's a choice.
In any case, if we
believe our survival depends upon the fittest then we need to know what form of
fitness serves us best.
Flexibility and
inner strength (aka the ability to respond), the capacity to include diversity
within unity (as our physical bodies do), and good health (which manifests
through balance) are always terms of fitness.
Brute force may or
may not be, and malicious cunning never is in the long run.
SOCIETY
Aggression leads to
war and disagreement, and the apotheosis of 'might makes right' is based on a
fundamentally non-human ideal. Why?
As we discussed
above, Humans are naturally caring and supportive. We're often dumbstruck
when we perceive a lack of empathy in others. It just doesn't make
sense. What does this say about our true nature? Should we believe
what others tell us or how we feel ourselves?
It's only when the
so-called rational mind kicks in to superimpose it's beliefs on our native
feelings that we encounter problems. Again, this is caused by fear alone,
which is usually intertwined with doubt. Based on a fundamental
misunderstanding, the mind creates fear above and beyond its program to sustain
physical form. While a rudimentary fear coding is certainly practical,
surely there's no doubt now how the fear program has usurped its useful
place. This is why it's so important to center in our hearts again.
As the center of all
emergence, the heart connects us to who we really are and it's important to
understand the primacy of this function. The mind is secondary. So,
center first, then use the mind to
figure out how to respond appropriately based on feelings our heart reveals as
true. If we realize this truth and act upon it, be prepared to witness an
entirely new way of interacting emerge—one we actually like and enjoy.
Feelings are an
expression of the pure vibration of the field. So while they're aspects
of the field, they also comprise the feedback loop that relays evaluation of
success or failure back to Source—through the heart!
In this way they
perform the function of reconnection to complete the circuit. What comes
out can only reconnect by going back in. And this only makes sense when
you think how the infinite potential field is All One and yet No Thing at the
same time. Each feeling is simply one differentiation of the no-thingness
field; a particular waveform of infinite nuance and variety within the entire
field of possibility or potentiality that can't be comprehended until it's
felt, despite the mind's insistence otherwise.
The society that
makes up the cosmic mind is used to mediate and direct emergent energy and
bring perception back into the light of understanding. And this, of
course, is what we call re-cognition. What stands under All That Is, is
the ZIPfield, the Source—hence true understanding is sub-jective. Being a
product of emergence the mind is ob-jective and performs an invaluable role in
analyzing what appears to be, creating consciousness. It plays a vital
part in the process of increasing awareness, but it only plays a part.
Let's put this
another way. We can connect the two words—a-part—and see how the mind
plays apart. This is its
role. But this apartness means it's always somewhat handicapped by
notions of distinction or difference which are reflected perfectly in its
objective emphasis and nature. Recall how this is what allows the
nothingness of the ZIPfield to manifest as something.
The key here is to
re-member the illusion of apartness, to re-mind ourselves that what appears to
be is fundamentally a lie (and also an ally to the process of manifestation),
and then to reconnect through zero point to Source so we can continue the process
of manifestation eternally.
This is the key to
immortality. And it's also the solution to our worries over
annihilation. And when this fundamental fear is assuaged, the notion of
conflict falls from its place of eminence so our interactions change
accordingly. It's all as easy as pi.
GOING FURTHER
Now, it only makes
sense that, if the phi ray emerges from zero point to aspire to be in the first
place, then the way back, the means of re-informing consciousness is to phire back in. Think about it. Phi
is the only ratio that creates perfect expansion and
compression. There is no other. Phi is the way.
And so if Christ
said: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father
but by me," we might perhaps consider he meant that 'I' is love, while
'man' is the activated, energized flowing component or form of the mind.
The 'Father' then is a representation of the masculine element of All That Is
(ATI): he who flows farther (a phi
function).
This furthering
aspect is what ATI does in order to express itself as One; hence the Father is
also referred to as the Creator. But Source must be the womb from which and within which all existence
is first created, including the Father, so we need to extend the metaphor to
say that She Is Under-Standing Itself.
The mind of the Father is simply an extension of Source. It's the first
thing that appears to be and therefore
it's completely understandable that the illusion holds so well.
However, behind the
scenes so to speak, is the 'is'-ness of Source which is No Thing we can name,
yet everything and anything in potential. It's the very breath of all
life—the spirit of the Father, the
Creator—without which nothing can be, including the Father. To
emphasize his supremacy is to express the worst conceit possible really.
It's a perspective that limits and encourages unhealthy and illusory
competition of the active 'masculine' aspiration which is always impelled into
being by the 'feminine' inspiration. One without the other is meaningless
indeed.
In truth, they are
two aspects of the same primal beingness, divided by will and differing only in
appearance so the game of conscious exploration can be played out.
Reunited they form a healthy, functioning association whose creative ideal is
expressed in the perfect society they share, where both work together to
manifest ATI as One—to manifest a son, or a
sun. And this realization is why halos are depicted emerging from
the field behind the physical seat of the illumined mind, the head.
Again, the field and the sun or son are but two aspects of the same
phenomenon. The Truth is One; duality is a lie, or ally. Take your
pick.
So we find two
aspects of the same expression: on the one hand we see that separation and
division are an illusion and on the other we discover that without this
illusory expression existence can't appear to be at all. This is
underscored by the reconnection of a-lie into ally. In other words, once
we re-connect 'a' and 'lie' we see the superficial division as well as the
alliance necessary from the very start to create beingness in the first
place—and ever after. Naturally, being all-inclusive, this alliance is
expressed in the phi ratio as love.
On a more mundane
level, in English phi is the root sound-code of love, life, laugh, fire, free,
flow and all the other ph, f, and v
words. When we fail to realize what these really mean we get to
experience the flip side: fear, fail, fall and all the other negative
variations. And we experience these until we understand the foundation of
conscious existence, which is phi expressing as love and life.
This dichotomy is
the ultimate issue of duality. Once resolved we reestablish unity and
regain our personal power; we co-operate 'as one' to become 'a sun.' This
is truly stellar—or ideal. And
again, it's no accident that these words are fundamental synonyms.
So when we let our
minds dictate our reactions and behavior instead of our hearts we run the risk
of making poor choices. Remember, we can be of two minds about anything
at all. But have you ever heard of anyone being two-hearted? If they
truly were they'd be seriously bilocated and probably even more delusional than
the rest of us. Now that's saying something!
Think about
it. It only makes sense that we only have one center. By
definition, having two is a structural impossibility. So the mind is a
false god. It's indispensable in the flow of awareness as we've said, but
it has its place: primarily as the tool not the master. When we operate
merely as a society of mind we focus on the material realm. When we
co-operate as a society with heart we focus on our essential spirit, and it's
spirit and only spirit that runs things from 'beginning' to 'end.'
However, since the
purpose of ATI is to experience and know itself, and its essence is flow, then
this spirit is eternal. Why would creation stop itself from being?
It wouldn't because then nothing will be. So there's no end and that means
no death either. There's only inward, outward and inward flow that
repeats endlessly as respiration: the primal breath that inspires all existence
and expires as it lets go. When we realize this truth we cease being
afraid. So no wonder we've been programmed to fear death. This
programming has been a useful tool to maintain control but it's meaningless
once we understand.
Now, there's another
important issue here we need to talk about too when we speak of programming,
and that's mind control.
Simply put, by
allocating all influence to the mind we weaken ourselves. If a mind can
be controlled or shattered into a myriad of alters—which we know it can—then by
giving primacy to our minds we subject ourselves to the possibility of external
control, and then we give our power away. Really, how easy would that be
to instigate?
Mind control is a
very subtle weapon and immensely effective. The only thing that can
overcome it is pure love and that comes from Source, through the heart.
Knowing this, wouldn't it be natural for anyone wanting to take over the world
and all consciousness to elevate the function of mind over the heart? If
that were my goal I'd do it. How about you?
But a heartfelt
society can be initiated easily if we want to create it, because once we get a
handle on the genesis of fear such a society flows forth quite naturally.
For instance, when
disaster strikes we get to see who and how we really are. In this case
the element of fear can actually serve to unite us. This is healing
because it relays the energy of fear back into itself by the simple act of
caring love to emerge as com-passion. Fear united is cleansed by the fire
or phi-ray of loving reconnection. So we rally together; strangers help
each other sharing expertise and strength.
In other words, when
the chips are down we're compassionate without even thinking about it. We
offer aid—we don't destroy. It's only those who fear that take advantage
of others and if we eliminate fear from the outset we've done most of the work
already. The rest is achieved through transmutation, which is the kind of
thing that happens in the case of a disaster. Through necessity
communities cohere.
Knowing how it all
works and more importantly that it does
further allays our fears. We are the help we need to get through whatever
comes our way.
Remembering this we
can trust ourselves and each other again. This is an important point to
ponder.
BEING GREAT
Let's recall our
shared ideal again because this is the foundation of all we do individually.
Within the notion of
a sustainable and creative interconnection lies a profound awareness: what
sustains one increases the whole. When disaster strikes we intuitively
understand this. What more do we need to say, really?
We can think of it
like this: while the whole is 'greater,' the individual is great, equal and
valued—they're simply different scales of 'one.'
THE ONE
Without a gathering
together of parts there's no such thing as a whole. Let's use the human
body as an analogy.
Each and every cell
contributes its being to our physical forms. Without these cells we have
no body; but then without cohesion of
the cells we have no body either. Clearly we need both individuality and
cohesion to exist in physical form. To cohere we must be
harmonious. If our cells fight each other our bodies deteriorate, even
die. To survive they co-operate—and so can we.
From human to
humanity is a change of scale from oneness to greater oneness. If our
cells coexist creatively and sustainably to maintain our bodies, so each human
body can recreate itself in a system of greater humanity.
Let's look at this
another way. Any unit has at least two conceptual elements: within (the
individual components), and the boundary condition or limits that define it
(cohesion). Beyond is without, it's not part of the whole.
Clip a fingernail
and we can plainly see it's no longer part of the body. The poor little
shard has become fractionated and will decompose sooner or later. (Did
you ever feel sorry for a nail clipping? Well neither did I until now so don't
feel too bad about it!) Separated from its immediate source the clipping
loses strength and is no longer viable on its own. While what remains of
the nail is still part of the body and continues to grow.
FRACTION
If we're less than
one we're always either a fraction of what we might be or else we're nothing at
all. This applies to any grouping.
When we look at it
objectively we can see that if any part of a group is diminished so is the
whole.
Think of the body
again and how the loss of a leg affects it. In this case we become in
some measure a fraction of what we were. Of course we can still function
without legs, but can we live without our center—how do we survive without a
heart? We can even be designated 'brain-dead' and still survive.
But heart-dead?
As we discussed
earlier, there's a profound reason for this connection between center and heart
so let's take another look at it.
The heart, being
central, connects us with Source. Through center is where we flow the
'spirit' that sustains our life. Life, love and flow are functions of
phi. No matter what machinations our minds perform to divide, this
fundamental truth exists.
The center of
anything connects it to the field; we're not connected from the outside, we're
differentiated. The facade or face of things is a mesmerizing illusion
that manifests in order to appear to be. What we see there is simply the
outflow; it's what emerged from center to become 'outlying.' And here's
another clue: out lying. We don't
say appearances are deceiving for nothing. Even inlying is a lie because
in and out are simply different portions of one cycle.
Now, again, we can
easily be of two minds, but again we're nothing without a center. Our
heart is that center and despite appearances to the contrary, in the end
there's only one for all of us. We share our ultimate source: soul is
sole, and it is No Thing. We call it a field but even this term is merely
deceptive unless we consider it as a potential
field—which in and of itself then is no thing, yet. Appropriately, we
connect to Source through zero-point. To get there we lay-phi; we live, love, laugh and then we're
free—well, that's the phi ray for you.
Now let's face it,
to exist, a unit must be in agreement. If what's inside refuses to
subscribe to the limitations of its containment the structure fails. This
is how we live, and die.
It's also how we
dissolve the present system—and recreate our own.
We work from the
inside out not the other way round. And despite the temptation to find an
'easy' way out, we definitely shouldn't put much effort into influencing change
from the top down because although that might seem like a good solution—the old
take-out-the-head-and-the-body-dies routine—that end's as rigged as the mast on
a pirate ship.
In the old paradigm
it's a dog-eat-dog world, as they always like to tell us (and have us repeat),
so a new alpha male will rise from the ranks as sure as the flag on this ship
has a skull and crossbones hidden underneath whatever standard they happened to
run up the pole last. Besides, we don't even know who's at the head of
the leviathan—much less where exactly they come from or why they're here doing
what they do. Sure there are stories galore, but what's true? They
all sound likely to me.
No, what we need is
a sort of intellectual reformation. We need to go to the seat of our
emotional and cerebral power. That way
we know we're coming from the right place. We start at the point of
emergence of All That Is—the heart of the matter—and that's us, in our hearts.
So instead of being
fractionated we do something entirely different. If we look around us we
can see examples everywhere to emulate. Nature does this all the time so
why can't we?
Of course if we
hadn't ventured so far off into left field we'd have seen it sticking a mile
out. But we got distracted by the piper and his techno-tune. You know,
the one with the calculator that says the pie's only so big and you can't have
any of mine because then I won't have enough. So we started fighting
about it. What a surprise.
We were mesmerized
and got a wee bit lazy, that's all. But now the pyramid party's over and
it's time to clean up the mess.
FRACTAL
OK, so we don't want
to be divided but we all want to be an individual. That's a fair goal
despite all the Monty Pythonesque mocking. And what's the big idea that
will save us on this score? Fractals.
With this new
scenario we become a living fractal system of human consciousness anchored by a
simple ideal that includes us all. This fractality is generated by the
phi ratio—the only geometry that creates perfect compression.
Perfect compression
includes all shareable information.
In other words, all information is shared so there's no fighting, nothing is
destroyed when the parts come back together and all is re-membered—well, that
makes sense—hence the power of laying phi. Yeah, to paraphrase the bard
John Lennon, what we need is love.
The really neat part
is that while the phi ratio allows for constructive concentration it also
generates expansion infinitely outward. So the golden ratio is key to
growth as well.
Let's look around us
again and ponder the mysteries of nature. Why should we do that
then? Well it's there we discover phi in every living, growing system,
including us. It's even in our very DNA (our genetic code, and yes, it's a creative programming language). See, it works both
ways. We get to flow in and out infinitely. Really, it's a great
system.
And while we're at
it, let's recognize the infinite potential of the sacred phire and note that the genesis of 'fire' is
no accident either. When we compress perfectly we get all fired up, so
all we have and are is lined up because we sorted it that way, and then we
squirt our awareness through zero point at superluminal velocity (faster than
the speed of light) to poke our inquisitive noses into "The
Field." It's one helluva ride I can tell you.
By understanding how
things work with phi and fractals (another phi word of course) we realize that
sustaining the integrity of each component in a system enhances the integrity
of the greater One, so all are valid and cherished. It's a creative program.
There are no losers.
So put that in your
pipe and smoke it. And when you do, make sure you blow out a smoke ring
so you can watch it turn all fractal on itself. That donut shape it makes
is symbolic of the shape of our universe and if we play our cards right it'll
be the shape of things to come too.
In a fractal form
each individual part shares all it knows. Naturally, it's
in-formation. It holds no secrets and tells no lies—well, of course it
doesn't, it's all information and understood as ally instead. And then
since everything goes round and round to be shared by all, no part goes
without—now that's what I call currency. Of course, every part's within,
so no part's without. Now, doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
Well at any rate,
knowing this, it's not much of a stretch to say that we can feel safe and
secure again. And that's yet another reason not to fight.
HARMONY
OK, this all sounds
great, you might say, but still—Earth to kAZ—what do we do when we
differ? You know we don't all think the same and that leads to
disagreements. Well, because of our shared ideal that doesn't really
matter. Remember, we want to be
different. We're unique points of view of the One Consciousness. So
all we need now is a practical way to figure all this out.
First, we
acknowledge what works and what doesn't. This becomes our only definition
of good and bad. And what's good in a working system is co-operative by
definition: each part works together with and in the whole. What doesn't
work automatically places itself outside that system.
Naturally, a working
system needs well parts, working well together—something we call harmony.
Harmony is achieved through the resolution of individual tones according to a
shared ideal. It's another aspect of the infinite construction of phi.
When tones argue
they can't harmonize so we hear 'noise' instead. Noise is a result of
interference and interference is destructive not constructive: waveforms clash
rather than build together and where this occurs we find destruction in some
form or another. This makes sense because without the shared ideal
there's no promise to work together at all.
So now's a good time
to reassess what the term 'compromise' means too.
Compromise is a
useful concept that's been severely distorted by the ideology of autocracy
we've accepted historically to create order in our world. But this order
is based on a pyramidal structure.
From the perspective of a rigid system like this, compromise is perceived as a
weakness, which shows us the reason we've encountered so many problems.
Here's why.
In a pyramid,
command and control are imposed from one perspective only—the top down—so
alternative points of view are seen as a threat. In this case compromise
becomes impossible.
Think about a
triangle and feel how each point pulls and presses on the center. It must
do this in order to remain a triangle; hence we have three distinct points of
view and power, all in harmony with one another. In a triangle all forces
and stresses are distributed perfectly throughout, and this is why we use it so
often in structures like trusses. It's a strong form because it performs
very efficiently. In other words, all the parts work well together.
What happens to one part of the triangle is felt and responded to everywhere
within the form. The whole thing works well together to sustain itself.
But as soon as we
rotate the triangle to create a pyramid and place it on the ground we have only
one apex—and one point of command and control. Naturally this rigid
structure is oppressive to all that support it (unless they're willing allies),
with the greatest oppression felt at the base. No part of the pyramid can
move out of line or the whole system fails. It's a great system if you
don't want to go anywhere.
So the concept
of liberty is meaningless, even, ironically, for the head honcho at the
top. Sound familiar? It should. We've been living in
it. And this of course is the totalitarian ideal.
The question is, do
we like it?
UNITY
On the other hand,
within the fractal fluid holographic web of our proposed system, compromise
produces a net gain rather than the
diminution of either the process or those involved. Its emphasis is not
on some arbitrary and inflexible rule of law mandated by a singular and supreme
authority. Instead, compromise reinforces the native concept of interconnection
itself. How so?
Compromise is com-promise which is simply a commitment to work
together. Duh! Now why didn't I notice that? Oh I did. Good.
So imagine two
tendrils in our friend the wildflower field. They're on the same level
and their desire is to reach upward toward the sun. But of course
'gravity' wants to keep them firmly grounded. It becomes a bit of a
struggle.
Separately they can
only grow so far before they fall back down—entwined they can grow much
further. And if they join with other pairs? You get the
picture. Now we have a vine. If they compete with each other, how
far will they get before they inevitably fall down? The best they can do
is smother each other trying to rise up on their own. But by cooperating
they create a potential to attain 'greatness' together.
When we work together we expand and grow as
well. But clearly those are not desirable attributes for a static pyramid
because this form serves to condense and contain matter.
According to the
all-seeing 'eye' at the top expansion and growth are impossible. Its
singular purpose is to compress and restrain to ensure conformity within its
rigid structure. And to do that it needs to see everything going on all
the time. Enter the Panopticon. There's no rest at the top and it's
oh so lonely, so it's not much fun either. Who'd 'a thunk it?
But consider this: a
holographic web can evolve and grow in any direction available and still remain
a holographic web because it's phlexible.
Now that's a neat concept. In this case the pie, so to speak, is
potentially infinite. And a smaller sliver of a greater pie gives us what? A much greater share
individually. And more 'slivers' to share with more and more others.
A holographic web
gains by increasing complexity within as well as spreading through nooks and
crannies and even out the other side. In other words, it expands inside
and out. The only attributes it requires to maintain integrity are
cohesion and communication.
In our case cohesion
is attained through our shared ideal and communication is the feedback loop so
each part knows how well it's doing altogether. As we already said, our
feelings perform the same function—they re-lay. We need them to tell us
whether what we're doing works for us or not. And of course they can:
feelings create the field, and they're both fundamental aspects of phi.
Once you make the connection it's a no-brainer really.
The central issue
here then is: are we willing to expand and grow by sharing our information and
becoming cohesive? All it takes is the realization that we can and the
commitment to get the job done. By agreeing to a simple ideal of basic
principles we provide both.
In a culture of
creative sustainable interconnection the ability to co-operate—or work
together—is prime. Hence we see the art in compromise, and the need to
tell others what to do is lost in the dance of willing agreement. Hey,
Dick Tator! See ya!
It's up to us
whether we accept an encroaching 'New World Order' based on old ideas of
suppression, repression and oppression (so it's not new at all) or a truly new
arrangement we agree to and enjoy as an individual expression of our unique
personalities; one where we get to order ourselves.
Now, is that so
wrong?
RESOLUTION
Once we're unified
in spirit we can rework the form we create however we want. We can amend
it, extend it, play with it and explore it ad
infinitum because it's phlexible—or
until it no longer serves our purpose. Maybe after zillions of years
we've done it all and we're bored. But in that case we have a natural
exit strategy—which is a very good thing.
If commitment to the
ideal fades we just facilitate separation so each party can go its own
way. Of course this means we no longer have a unified whole, but then
without agreement we don't have that anyway, do we?
So when we're all
done with the basic form, if and when we no longer share the same ideal, we
dematerialize the framework all together—just as a caterpillar dissolves itself
inside its chrysalis—and then an entirely new system can be created that
emerges in a natural process of re-formation. The sequence starts over
again, guided by each of us—all together—as we formulate a new resolution for a
new ideal.
Those choosing not
to participate then are free to disengage. No one's stuck, all
participate willingly, and the creative expression of life within Eternity is
furthered and fulfilled. Pass the party pies!
Alright then,
presuming we're all on board the cruisy ship and ready for such an adventure in
conscious manifestation, how might we proceed from here? Don't we have
streamers to put up and coolers to fill?
Well, not so fast
Toto. First we need to clean house; then we set sail. And then we get to celebrate.
PROCESSING
So it's obvious the
systems and institutions we've created up till now are crumbling around us, and
many—if not most of us—feel in some way threatened, or at least unsure of what
that means on a personal level and what comes next. What we need then is
a process.
As we carry the
ideal we're intent on co-creating in our hearts, and play with it in our minds,
we take a step in the right direction—so this is where we start.
ASSESSMENT
After we agree on
our fundamental ideal, sensibly the next thing to do is learn the true nature
of the environment we're in right now. We can't hope to gain insight
about our future together until we understand what we already have and how we
got here. We can't clean house if we don't see the mess. And this
is, after all, the purpose of experience. Well, we've got plenty of
that. But to do this tricky job now requires open minds, open hearts, and
courage.
We need to see what
we've either actively created or passively allowed under the old hierarchical
system.
We use discernment
in place of judgment to objectively
evaluate what's acceptable (using mind)—subject
to being what we are (using heart), which is Human (hint: humane). We
base our assessment ideally; that is, on
what works for the individual and the whole altogether according to the
principles of our shared vision.
Again, we define
good as what works and bad as what doesn't. It's a simple definition and
it's practical.
By using this basic
definition we dispatch the whole debate over good and evil once and for
all. Good: works. Bad: it doesn't. Simple. With this
one move we dissolve moral and religious dogma and free up all that energy so
we can put it to better use for more productive ends.
Then we continue to
dig through the nest of deception that typifies the ways things have been run
up to this point (yeah, thanks for that). We need to see it clearly and
we need to see it all.
This part of the
process will likely be uncomfortable, painful and heart-rending since the truth
of what we've manifested is ridden with suffering, humiliation, abuse and
horrors beyond ordinary imagination. Well, we did sleep through our
overlord's party.
Once upon a time we
fell asleep on our watch. That's how the lore got started. No
wonder we have so many—laws that is.
The time to pay the
price for our complacency is now, before both the opportunity to make amends
and the ability to regain control of our own destiny is lost to us. If we
don't act someone or something else will, which is only appropriate if we don't bother to take care of our own business
ourselves.
You don't let the
kiddies manage the bank account do you? Oh, we did? Well then, it's
time to pony up and make it right.
HEALING
To do this each of
us must be determined to see truth in its fullness.
We shine a light
into every nook and cranny, and we support each
other unfailingly as we face our individual and collective truths
together. In this way we assume responsibility for what we've allowed to
exist—activity lurking in the shadows of a world we allowed to come into
being. We face the demons and devils we've been too afraid to see.
Anyone genuinely willing to do this is automatically in.
So we face all our
fears.
We have the numbers
to support each other and rise to the challenge, and by seeing the process
through we overcome the victim/perpetrator roles we've been playing that helped
get us into this mess in the first place.
As soon as we assume
appropriate responsibility for our own parts—whether active or inactive—we
remove our blinders collectively and individually. Then we take a very
good look at what we find.
We rise up from the
centers of our own hearts—the 'soil' or soul where our shared ideal grows—and
demand we acknowledge who and what we've been, what we are now, and what we can
be. This way we won't get stuck in the horror, sadness, depression, anger
or overwhelm because we also look forward to what we can be. And as we unblock the gridlock we heal. The
more we clear the quicker we heal. Naturally, because when we unblock we
can flow. Dis-ease is a lack of flow and so this will be a thing of the
past too.
Now this process is
what we call exponential in that it starts out slowly and then builds to a
certain point where, before you know it, everything just sort of blasts its way
through the remaining junk that's left.
Imagine clearing out
a stuck pipe. You can get most of the debris out of the way, say, but
maybe not all of it, but that doesn't matter because you reach that certain
point where the pressure of the water flowing through scours out the residual,
et voila, a shiny clean pipe. Now that drip you had to contend with is a
torrent you can control with a faucet. That's a working system and this
is what we can all expect once we clean out our own energy pipes.
So, centered in our
hearts we bear our ideal future in mind at all times. Remember, this
ideal is where we're going. It's a cause for joy that can see us through
any pain that might come up. So that's more good news really, if you
think about it.
REINVENTION
it's important to
note that we won't let the past define us if we see it in its truth and
acknowledge how our present naturally flows from all we've done (or not
bothered to do)—and then determine to
create an alternate future.
We simply pull
ourselves up individually with our collective bootstraps. As we support
each other we'll discover that we won't fall down. How does the song
go? Oh yeah, "lean on me." When we all sing it together
there are plenty of shoulders to go around.
And here's the big
pay-off: as we rise together we quite naturally assume our native, creative,
compassionate and human crowns. We
reinvent ourselves and at this point each of us is whir-king. So that's what those party hats are for—I always
wondered. Well now we get to wear one and know what it really
means. See, through all this we realize self-rule is our inheritance—it's
what we're designed to do—as we embrace our genetic and spiritual desire for
individual expression within a coherent society.
But let's be very
clear about one thing: we only achieve self-autonomy through self-awareness,
self-motivation, and self-responsibility. These are the attributes of a
great and powerful ruler and self-rule just makes them all the more true.
The key issue is whether we're determined to summon the integrity and
commitment to do it and become one ourselves.
Right now the ball
is firmly in our court. So who wants to play?
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Each and every one
of us has the power to choose this. And if we all do, it's a case of,
"All aboard!" and no one's left behind.
We're at a point now
where we can realize a viable future together, but at this late stage in the
game it's really all or nothing: all together we rise to assume command of our
own ships and sail with fair winds as a fleet into the promised land—the one we
promise together and create ourselves—or we give our power to do this great
work away.
Takers are ready and
they appear to have us in the bag. But if our
bag is self-determination then together we get to change the rules of the games
so they benefit each and every one of us.
We can have fun
again! And that sounds better than a good thing to me—it sounds like a
great thing.
It's our choice and
we decide. With the capacity, knowledge and power to do it we either use
it now, or lose it for who knows how long? So what are we then—all
cooperating together, or divided and weak alone?
This cycle comes to
an end one way or another. It's time to choose. And that leaves us
with one final question.
Are you willing to climb on board the party boat
with the rest of us, or are you content to leave your future in the lap of some
other god?
Now that is a very big question.
