Querencia

Prelude

I'm playing the game of chance,

wanting my life to advance.

I had enough of luck's wrath

Just want to peacefully walk the path.

I had my fair share of the endless fight

about what's wrong & what's right

I can no longer stay in solitude

After steady increase of amplitude.

I see the tree tremble and shake,

in the game of give and take.

Deeply rooted to Gaia's core

That what I want of some more.

Yet it seem's like my life's predicament

is to remain in perpetual movement. 

Querencia

It seemed like coincidence

a random meeting of souls,

sharing o so many goals,

It turned into a cosmic dance.

Two hearts melting together

each of us of their own kind

thinking together as one mind

touch as light as a feather.

A common love of geometry

which shapes the universe

through which we traverse

brought our dreams into reality.

We were meant for each other,

For once, I stopped to bother.

The state of confusion

Prelude

Humanity as a whole can only come so far,

If we repeat the cruel mistake of eternal war.

Right now, it seems like each and every nation

has been infected by a faulty idea of civilisation.

The crown of luxury (1/10)

Mother Earth offers us abundance,

A plenty that gives us the chance

to peacefully share its fruits,

while cherishing its divine roots.

Yet humanity, unaware of its role,

invented the game of control,

divided itself into the few and the many,

those who have all and those who don't have any.

While there's more than enough for everyone,

most humans suffers under the barrel of a gun,

We can't maintain our splendid opulence

without arbitrary and unjust violence

claim the few that occupy the tower of power,

trickling down on the many a golden shower.

Wisdom (2/10)

For the many, life became desperate,

daily survival as permanent struggle,

too many obligations to juggle

to hold onto the trust in one's own fate.

For the few, life became a game,

technology fulfilled surreal dreams,

or at least, so it seems

allowed living without any shame.

Yet others, who came here to stay,

just patiently walked the way,

leaving trails in the unknown,

where they slowly have grown.

With no need for fame and bling,

they just became part of everything.

Understanding (3/10)

Back to nature is the deceptive call,

for which we now easily fall.

If we want to save the planet's sanity,

we have to restrict the numbers of humanity!

Instead of learning more ecology,

let's just praise the natural theology

which declares humanity as enemy

and wants the big culling as remedy.

We can't share like this with all,

Let's kill some people to prevent the fall

into a world without clean water and air,

so that few can live on like this, ain't that fair?

But if 'like this' doesn't work out,

isn't 'like that' worth to try out?

Loving Kindness (4/10)

Life knows only winner

Death transforms the matter

to serve life again o so better.

The human race is only a beginner

in understanding the cycle of life,

that's why society seems such a strife.

If we base our world on competition

we harm ourself and the planet,

and we drown in our own net.

If we want life's completion,

we have to take power from the fool

and play again by nature's rule.

Mother Earth thinks it's alright

if humanity commits collective suicide.

Might (5/10)

It seems like we live in an age of reason,

The prophets of science guiding politics,

advising logically, not playing dirty tricks,

yet ignoring their heart is their biggest treason.

Wholeness still remains neglected,

which keeps thinking disconnected.

Without some inspired intuition

science just creates a scary vision.

We studied long how to kill each other,

even developed some insane will

for a mutual and complete overkill.

Yet if we don't start caring to bother

to integrate heart and soul in our thinking,

we'll happily watch our own ship sinking.

Beauty (6/10)

Humanity seems so ludicrously immature,

in its endless quest for more,

degrading our planet to a whore,

wanting to master Mother nature.

People are treated like cattle,

and we kill those who dare to rattle

on the cages of our needless slavery,

instead of following such bravery.

Hypnotised like a rabbit by a snake

we continue our fearful shake

believing it's a sign of integrity

to submit to imposed authority.

But we only have to answer one call -

the one that comes from the heart and soul.

Victory (7/10)

Many deeds of utter insanity

have been done in the name of rationality.

We still celebrate misunderstood genetics,

and largely misappreciate mimetic.

Instead of engaging in constructive dialogue,

we easily fall prey to any demagogue

who creates the air of mystery

by their own special version of history.

Most words of persuasion are mere empty shell

to disguise the reality of a living hell.

Spin doctors provide the final tweak

to create perfect Orwelian double-speak.

With meaning so readily and easily twisted,

as endangered our whole species is enlisted.

Acknowledgement (8/10)

If we give the wisest one control,

with the power to shape it all,

then everything would be fine,

society rescued from its steady decline.

Yet this is nothing but a fantasy,

an idea so incredibly stale

it doesn't even suit as fairy tale

it's a criminal intellectual heresy.

Because while we hope for a wise leader,

we simply follow the next best cheater.

One thing is certain, at least of today,

politics is nothing but a theatre play.

The moral doesn't even go very deep:

Following leaders makes you a sheep.

Foundation (9/10)

This civilisation isn't worth preserving,

it is build on falsehoods and lies,

controlled by a bunch of all-seeing eyes,

hell instead of heaven humanity is deserving.

We are all born to be free,

not to live in disguised slavery.

The system of human livestock management

has had its time, and it has to end.

We don't need to spill the baby with the bath,

many things we build on this path

will come with us into the future,

if they can be used for our nurture.

But bureaucracy, banking and government

only contributed to humanities detriment.

Kingdom (10/10)

I don't want to suggest haste,

but there's little time to waste.

We don't want to suffocate in pollution,

for most problems we have a clean solution.

The internet created the capacity

to weave a true global community,

to share all that we know

to tap into the cosmic flow.

Nature organises itself,

Let's keep the isms on the shelf

of humanity's primitive history

to finally shape our own destiny.

We don't need yet another revolution,

just commitment to a conscious evolution.

Bit for bit

Many people define 'consciousness' as nothing but the state they lose when they go to sleep, overdo substances or get severely injury by accident or violence. Somehow this negative definition suggests that we humans are either conscious or unconscious, which sounds to me like delusional, wishful thinking.

Psychologists would rather claim that we spend quite a limited time 'fully conscious', our sub-consciousness controlling the majority of our activities. Depending what you know or believe about your own subconsciousness, the idea of acting subconscious most of the time might induce quite a lot of fear.

Western societies don't value thinking about thinking and most forms of self-reflective activity very high. Although we all have a mind, only specialists are entitled and encouraged to figure out how these minds work. Yet in everyday business, our minds are mostly driven by our subconscious believes, and rationalise our behaviour after it happens.

The concepts explaining subconsciousness don't appeal too much to regular people, as they seem rather overly complex (Freud) or pretty far out (Jung). After all, all we need to do is to somehow 'soldier on', 'get on with our lives', 'make a living', 'function in the modern world', right?

Yet subconscious drives especially those unaware of it, or touchy to think about it. Education conditions us to 'mind our own business', and leave the business of the mind to dedicated specialists. This opens the door to easy manipulation, and maintains the state of learned helplessness most people suffer from.

So we can embrace the suggestion to be 'in control' of our own lives, only dependent sometimes to those who know ourselves better than we can ever do. If our experience contradicts the promises of 'experts', it can hardly be their fault, something must be wrong with us. And the experts can fix it - if not straight away, then not because they have other interests than our own best at heart, but surely because we're much wronger than we should be.

Any sort of logical system needs a solid foundation to reflect the reality of our own experience, otherwise it creates a life on its own. An idea or concept gone wild might provide us with entertainment, enjoyment, solace, yet it can hide the truth of our existence from us. Whenever we believe something without any personal evidence, we might get deluded into illusion about reality.

Humans are born to be curious, that's one of my personal believes I found plenty of evidence of. I think Truth fails to be described in words, it rather unveils itself in actions and artefacts of existence. When we observe objects falling towards the earth, very consistently, 'gravity' turns into one of those inexplicable truths. Birds and insects defy this principle, but that doesn't need to worry us, as they obviously do something to defy this principle - yet luckily, they land sometimes, and stop doing what they did, so we can investigate how they temporarily manage to counteract the attraction of our spaceship Earth.

The brothers Montgolfiere and the Wright brothers had to sustain through much ridicule for their idea that even humans could manage to defy gravity and float within the atmosphere. Luckily, the combination of astute observation and curiosity advanced technology a bit further, flicking a collective binary switch on - humans can fly, without any magic involved.

The oldest form of flight technology I know of didn't make any inventor famous though. A simple boomerang still manages not only to blow my mind, but those of many others as well. Newton's physics would have trouble describing its flight path, which might explain as well explain why the inventors of the Montgolfiere and the plane had to fight so much resistance.

'Modern' people know that planes exist, and maybe also that boomerangs fly in surprising ways. Most of us hardly know why and how, and wouldn't be able to construct or build either of them. It just doesn't give us a fright when we see them, our subconscious tells us it's possible and we don't need to worry.

We got used to the sun and stars staying in their orbits as well, continuous observation allowed to us to let go of the fear of the sky collapsing on us. Predictability became our friend, and science helped those curious to grasp bits of the why and how, and those less curious could rest in the solace that no magic was involved to make it happen.

The word 'magic' though does already unpredictable things to the minds of english speaking people, activating an essential binary switch in our subconsciousness. We tend to organise our experience around the concept of 'real' and 'illusionary', a imaginary binary concept shown as relatively irrelevant by quantum mechanics and buddhism.

The virus language (thanks Laurie Anderson) often creates binary concepts that defy our experience, while acting as cornerstones to our logic. Yet as social beings, we don't enter the world of our experience as blank slates, but informed by the ideas of our ancestors, transmitted by language and the culture we're born into.

The amount of 'bits' of information in any given sentence is potentially infinite, and neither sender nor receiver usually have any clue about much information is transmitted. If we take a popular way to construct a sentence expressing something meaningful, 'A is B', we already open the door to multiple interpretations.

'God is great'. Many people will not only find this sentence meaningful, but also containing Truth. On a semantic level, however, it turns into something with little to no value at all. I don't want to open a can of worms with discussing the terms 'God' and 'great', when I hear any sentence of the 'A is B' type the incompleteness flag of my subconsciousness gets raised.

Aristotle left humanity with some basic ideas about binary logic, we might consider him as one of the first computer scientists in history. Like all abstract concepts, Aristotelian logic simplifies reality in order to obtain 'higher' levels of knowledge. But when we mistake his map for the territory, we become susceptible to be remote controlled by anyone understanding the binary nature of our subconsciousness to create our analogue experience.

When we see an image on a TV or computer screen, we might be aware of the underlying binary construction of it, but depending on the quality of the image, we can happily immerse ourselves in the illusion created by it. Salvatore Dali elegantly demonstrated his understanding of human perception with images that change from a collection of random dots into 'meaningful' shapes in a distance, long before most people got hypnotised by the illusion of moving images composed of a random collection of dots.

Similarly we can stay oblivious to the binary nature of our subconsciousness, and enjoy the speed in which we can react without thinking. The ability the process information subconsciously at high speed definitely contributes to individual survival - faced with a wild animal, philosophical considerations warrant usually fast death.

In our 'civilised' times, life and death situation became luckily rare. In most parts of world, dangerous animals have been extinct, so technology exposes us to the biggest threats to our survival. However, while we live potentially the most sheltered life in known history, the idea of life-threatening situations seem to have increased exponentially.

According to Leary's 8-circuit model of human consciousness, the evaluation into 'save' and 'not save' constitutes an elementary switch in our subconsciousness. This evaluation usually happens neither rational nor objective, yet subconsciously based on our prior experience. If we made 'bad' experiences with approaching a dog, for example, in an early state of our life, we will most likely turn out be a 'cat' person, and when given a choice for a pet unlikely choose a dog.

While dogs can be dangerous in certain cases, most of them are quite harmless. Our subconscious programming, however, doesn't act rational, but automatic. Unless we use efficient methods to change it, it will retain any conditioning ever acquired. While this might sound somewhat overwhelming, it also offers with it the understanding that we might access much more 'information' than we can imagine in our wildest dreams.

Exactly there, in our dreams, we can find a glimpse of the opportunities inherent in our subconscious. A nearly perfect virtual reality happens while our body lays down sleeping, appearing as intensely real like our waking life. Our pineal gland emits DMT and we dance with the dream fairies. While millions of bits of sensual information travel through our nervous system, our attention focuses on a specific set of circumstances, and filters the rest. This 'rest' comprises a large part of the dream scenery.

Not everyone has memories of their dreams, yet we dream every night when we enter a REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase in our sleep. Obviously, the 'input' to our dream awareness doesn't come from our senses. While the complexity of dreams worlds doesn't look like composed in a binary fashion, it just would need sufficient amount of binary data and high processing speeds. Billions of neuron, each of which might be just a binary switch or even something like a megabyte memory unit, with up to 10000 connections between each other, provide both - large memory area and processing speed.

The locus of individual memory items (engrams) has not been located. If we have a holographic memory, engrams potentially leave traces in a variety of different locations. The orientation of our attention brings memory back to awareness, not necessarily as precise recording of the events that happened, rather as current interpretation of the event itself. As we get mostly educated by permanent repetition, our episodical memory is in average quite prone to error regarding specific details. The same event seen by different people can yield description which tell entirely different stories.

In other words, each of us has a different binary pathway through the filters we acquired in our lifetime. Our reality tunnels, in Robert Anton Wilson's words, distort the space-time event we witness. Unless we understand and detect the patterns we use to generate our 'reality', we cannot de-activate the filters, although drugs might temporarily de-activate them. Opening the doors of perception doesn't provide you with super powers, and learning to shutting them at will is as important as the initial opening.

Yet we can learn to observe our thinking, to get to know the filters through which we create our reality. Don't expect to enter an unfiltered existence, just enjoy the shift of perspective whenever you flicked a binary switch of your subconscious that distorted your perception of reality.

Antidote to weltschmerz

We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

We are in an age that assumes the narrowing trends of specialization to be logical, natural, and desirable. Consequently, society expects all earnestly responsible communication to be crisply brief. . . . In the meantime, humanity has been deprived of comprehensive understanding. Specialization has bred feelings of isolation, futility, and confusion in individuals. It has also resulted in the individual's leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization breeds biases that ultimately aggregate as international and ideological discord, which, in turn, leads to war.

Modern History

Many areas of human investigations suffered and still suffer from hybris, especially history. 'We live in the best times ever' describes a short-cut towards the gathering of knowledge that inevitably leads to misconceptions, and it seems like the 21st century is especially prone to foster this myth.

What can we learn from history if we assume a beginner's mind towards the mystery of life? What attitudes might change if we don't take for granted that the current society doesn't reflect the most advanced human civilisation that ever stepped on this planet? Can we advance the evolution of mankind if we let go of the cultural arrogance that seems so normal in contemporary times? What do really know about our ancestors?

The name we give our species is 'homo sapiens', and exists as a genetically distinct race for about 60,000  years. We have only little evidence for most of that time, until the invention of written language, which is considered to be the birth of civilisation, about 6000 years ago. I hesitate a bit using these numbers, which indicate quite a lot of certainty about facts reaching that far back, I just consider them as reasonable hypothesis worth of some more scrutiny.

It might feel good to think about ourself as representatives of the smartest band of humans ever lived, the most civilised, somehow the end of linear development towards amazing engineering achievements we witness today, with computers, cars, planes, rockets, satellites, skyscrapers and the lot. Yet this attitude might be much older, just replace our current technology with state of the art achievement known at a given period of time and our ancestors might have fallen for similar misconceptions.

Life, as we understand it nowadays, contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics, one of the essential axioms of modern physics. Okay, I went a bit far here, however, the theory talks mainly about 'systems in isolation' than tend towards entropy (disorderly chaos) without the input of 'external' energy. Although conceptual space (language, scientific theories) allows to state this, and although this idea helped advanced concepts to develop with tangible effects on our perceptual reality, it doesn't necessarily reflect we universe we live in.

It seems to me like the hapless attempt to separate order from chaos. implying that order is 'good' and chaos is 'bad', and that we wonderful human beings can create order of out chaos. Yet chaos and order are already conceptual categories that depend on our perspective, and our ability to factualise our experience. Art often transcended this assumed dichotomy, as does modern science in some areas.

Life means always transformation, as well as movement, and creates order, even without intention. An amoeba needs food and avoid danger, which indicates that even the most 'primitive' forms of life create order out of chaos. The accumulation of carbon in living cells on this planet, which started billions of years ago, provides the basis for our current civilisation, which is addicted to ancient forms of carbon as basis for 'external' energy generation.

Life needs energy in some shape or form. Plant life transforms the thermal energy of our sun into chemical energy, this chemical energy can be consumed by animals, which use this energy to move around much more than plant based life, and humans came up with with symbol systems that transferred the knowledge how to utilise all that chemically bound energy from plants, animals and other dynamic environmental processes for their own survival.

Let's take the question whether an amoeba 'knows' or has awareness for its need for food and the existence of danger in its environments aside for a second. The modern homo sapiens knows about the need for food and about the avoidance of dangers, we consider ourself to be aware of this probably in a different way from the other forms of life on this planet. We are a special species on this planet, much more capable of shaping our environments in ways that serves our needs to keep alive.

Yet although humans can shape the environments to better serve our needs, as a species we might have started just relatively recently do to so. Hunter-gatherer societies have less of an environmental impact than modern man, their survival depended more on applicable knowledge about it than on shaping it to their liking. In some remote places these societies survived until now, indicating that 'civilisation' is a potential for our species, yet not a necessity.

Again, it depends just on the perspective to claim that 'culture' came with civilisation. The genocide of many indigenous societies in order to 'civilise' them has destroyed many cultures. The way 'Australian history' is portrayed offers a good example of the common misconception that the most violent culture is the best, ignoring the fact that transference of knowledge doesn't need highly abstract symbol systems manifested in written language.

As we haven't got a time machine, we can only guess from what remains over time what happened in our ancient past. Yet many artefacts of culture deteriorate extremely fast, most materials to store symbolic information follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics, lose the order imposed by man and transform back into the randomness of chaos. Stone provides a platform to preserve information for thousands of years, yet seems highly impractical from a modern perspective.

In other words, an ancient civilisation 20,000 years ago that would have used similar information storage like we do today, wouldn't have left too many marks that could survive until today. Atlantis, if it ever existed, might simply evade rediscovery by insufficient methods to maintain information that can survive periods of history which most people can't imagine anyway.

One myth of the 'linear' development of human technology describes their preferred tools, from the Stone Age via the Bronze Age to the Iron Age. While humans aren't the only life form on this planet deploying tools, most other species that use tools haven't generalised this principle for all areas of life. Yet even in the stone age humans created artefacts that defy the idea of 'primitive' societies - a lot of 'brain power' has gone into the construction of Stonehenge, and maybe even the Sphinx.

While a spearhead made of stone was exceeded by more clever technology to hunt, it shows already a lot of ingenuity. Unlike the modern approach of 'one size fits all', it combined know-how from different areas. A stone-age spear is composite of a wooden shaft with a stone tip, most likely tied to it to keep it in place. People were already dressed, which means there was knowledge of making clothes from natural materials. Natural fabrics deteriorate much faster than stone and metal, yet even the Neandertals dressed and embellished themselves with jewellery.

So plainly said, if we consider covering up ourselves out of shame and/or need, making ourselves look better by jewellery and mostly having some common yarn and maybe song as an indication of culture humans did so maybe even hundred thousands of years ago. The simple act of cooking accomplishes already some chemical transformation, as does the production of leather, so even our prehistoric relatives deserve to be considered quite smart.

Considering that even Neandertals showed signs of what I happily call culture (tool use, burials and thus most likely language), we cannot surely say how much their use of symbols went. A lot of natural surfaces can easily be scratched by a stick, and all sort chemistry happens when we use fire. Any symbol system not manifested in stone, and older than about 3,000 years would have a hard time surviving. Clay tablets might have been the earliest form of written language, but they could as well just be just remnants of the idea to make information last a very long time.

One most important fact about human nature finds only little consideration, especially in science and likewise often in history, our existence as social being. I find it hard to imagine that being hostile towards other human beings come natural, basing a society on hostility might be just a quite recent development. Independent of the language we use, emotional expressions are universal, and empathy most likely played quite a big role in tribal societies.

We have to literally dig deep to get an impression what happened in our past, and once things get buried for a while, nature starts recycling. Although it seems popular to create history by transporting the mechanism of contemporary society into the past, I don't think it's a legit way to understand our ancestry. If Atlantis existed just 6000 years ago, only stone remnants would have survived.

Our contemporary fondness of 'keeping records' still doesn't come very natural to most humans, and so there's little trustworthy information about earlier cultures. Only relative liberal societies offer an insight of their culture, conservative cultures prescribe official interpretations of their 'values'.

Once we stop seeing contemporary mankind as precipice of evolution, we can start a conscious evolution.

Why I occupy

On the way to my Shiatsu course, on the pavement of Swanston Street, the police pushed me into the occupy movement. I stopped in front of a wall of police, and when I turned around, I got pushed forward, unaware of the fact that the police decided to herd anyone on the entire width in Melbourne's city centre towards north.



I got really angry, hurling abuse and demanding my right to go to the next tram station. I saw many rallies, but the experience of a human wall forcing everyone around them against their will into a specific direction was new and truly bizarre. I use my hands and my Ki when I practise Shiatsu, and felt incapable of doing my job after this invasion of arbitrary police violence into my life. I stayed in town and saw a crowd of people vanishing into Trades Hall, with the army of police it looked like a trap to me.



As I don't use TV or newspapers as primary source to stay 'informed', I researched a bit more what this global occupation movement is all about. The common global consent, so it seems to me, lays mainly in the commitment to non-violence. When people remember the process while they act within the movement, it opens the avenue to collective creativity, with the tastiest fruits harvested by consent.



Of course, within a growing movement the knowledge of and experience with the process, the ability to learn, accept and apply it, differs among individuals. I met enough people to convince me that the global thing happened also here in Melbourne. I joined the First Aid and Care work group, and benefit each time immensely from the wealth of different expertise coming together on a peaceful lawn in a peaceful park on a sunny sunday afternoon.



Don't get deluded, it's not a talk fest happening here – in a time of civil war against basic human rights like freedom of assembly and freedom of speech many casualties occur. It takes a lot to organise the safety and health needs of a community of sometimes hundreds of people, especially when even people wearing First-Aid vests get clubbed by police while trying to care for pepper-sprayed peaceful protestors.



Even those who only witnessed the police brutality have been left traumatised, often reliving in their minds the memories of a terrifying assault on their believe in justice. The more stories I hear while debriefing the victims of the ongoing psychological warfare against a peaceful movement, the more I feel outraged about the utter disrespect for human life that happens right now in the city of Melbourne.



I chose as my occupation to teach and heal people, after spending some time of my life working as IT specialist mainly for the banking industry. The absurdity of the situation, the constant harassment, nearly daily new eviction orders were issued and executed, means that our team needs to build up an external network to cope with the cases too severe to deal with safely within our capacity.



First Aid usually serves as some sort of insurance policy, good to have around, but depending on the circumstances, hardly ever needed. The circumstance for Occupy Melbourne... well, let's call them sub-optimal from a health care perspective. Melbourne City Council removed shelter from rain and sun, access to water and sometimes the kitchen from Treasury Garden, not only increasing the psychological pressure for the permanent occupiers, but also actively endangering their immediate health.



Some of the occupiers have special needs, like Brandon, whose poetry you can listen to on the frontpage of omdigest. Even Brandon got served an eviction notice and was moved the meat wagon of the police. Others have difficult family backgrounds, and feel safer from violence in the occupation than at home. Many are exhausted from their job as occupier, yet the smallest creature comforts bring with it the threat of immediate eviction.



The re-occurring raids of the police made the First Aid gear evaporate. Just being prepared and equipped for good-case scenarios (prevention material like sun-screen, insect repellent, ponchos and blankets) becomes a logistical challenge. Not even having a minimal sheltered space for treatments available makes our task even more difficult. No time for leadership debates available, and self-organisation provides a level of First Aid and Care that would cost a lot of money if sourced for a commercial event.



Why do I occupy? I want to live in a world where we respect each other, where we care for each other, for all of us. I feel this vision resonating when I collaborate with the occupy movement, and it's happening all over the world right now. Let's organise horizontally and see where it'll lead to.

Conception of a nation

While it took only six days to create the entire world, I plan for a bit more earth self-revolutions to give birth to a nation. I consider it a prosperous sign that Liberecujo was conceived on a monday, the start of the week.

We have only one planet, and so far it suffered a great deal from the gullibility of traditional nations, that got lured into the fearful visions of the multi-national madness of the military-industrial complex. As mankind, we have become aware of global challenges, yet the rotten, corrupt, self-interest driven national governments, and international organisations with similar psychopathic nature will rather literally crawl into a hole while the ecosystems of the planets collapse around them, then changing the rules in the interest of all humanity.

Instead of creating solutions, governments create more problem, democracy seized to exist since the start of the global terror campaign in 2001. Many good ideas exist how we can life sustainably and luxurious at the same time, nevertheless the myth of scarcity contributes to often dire living standards. Conventional governments agree on one slogan, like 'carbon tax', which reflect wishful thinking and general naivety.

To have less of the usual national stupidity, we can simply outnumber the war-driven, violent form of nation by creating thousands, if not millions of micro-nations. Mutual recognition could transform international cooperation into a truly democratic process, worthy of the special status of the human race in the game of evolution.

Of course, certain minimal standards should be provided. A simple legal systems, without any extraordinary status for corporations could shift the current legalised-robbery jurisdiction back into a system suitable for global justice. If one day a thousands of micro-nations, without any armies or weapons, but consent of their citizens, declare war on the UN, it has give into democratic pressure. This would mean as well the end of the war against the population, that most nations of this planet currently wage.

I don't expect that running a nation just happens, I suspect quite some work will be involved. The battle of constitutions begins, ruling a nation need creating the rules for your citizens. In long term, micro-nation could as well agree on using new virtual currencies, that make national and corporate currencies redundant. Citizenships for micro-nations to blow away the old power structures need to be fluid, explicitly trust and not evidence based.

The bureaucratic aspect of citizenship deserves more artistic than data-collecting attention. The initial small number of citizens allows a prime opportunity to shape the 'political' aspect of the nation. A micro-nation needs to provide benefits to its citizens in a fair exchange with obligations consented to. This differs from the traditional model of owning the citizens and black-mailing them into protection rackets, euphemistically called taxes.

In the game of evolution, few simple rules lead to unpredictable, often amazingly beautiful outcomes. The simple rule of government by violence creates rather ugly outcomes like torture camps, permanent war zones and environmental destruction in massive scales. Cooperation and non-violent competition are simple enough rules of engagement to establish a network of nations willing to save this planet.

It is not just a riot of blots and blurs and disjointed jottings linked by spurts of speed... it only looks as like it as damn it.

Fairness? Decency? How can you expect fairness or decency on a planet of sleeping people?

We stumble on identity. We cobble together a self, using the imperfect plans laid down by the ego. We are motivated by memories of what hurt in the past and what felt good, which impel us to repeat the good things, and avoid the bad. As a result, "I" is a product of accident, fickle likes and dislikes, old conditioning, and the countless voices of other people who told us what to do and how to be. At bottom, this whole structure is totally unreliable and, in fact, unreal.

If we ... talk in terms of a universe that is constantly evolving, you can join the evolutionary flow or not. The choice is yours. Either way, evolution will proceed, but if you opt out, it won't proceed through you.

Authentic spiritual teachings are teachings from direct experience devoid of prejudice, provincialism, or predilection. That is based on eternal living tradition motivated and animated by a living truth. Compare that to dead teachings, rote memorization, conformity, and mechanical obedience to external authoritative systems and one can easily understand human history and its discontents. The champions of institutionalized tradition only create prisons and traps, because their own egos and and prideful identities live in a mental prison. They become jealous and scornful of those who have escaped.
