The only reason we are still here is because we are in a Mexican standoff. However, if religious extremists acquire atomic weapons, and there is a good chance they will, our lives will have the Sword of Damocles hanging over us by a single horse tail hair, or atom bombs aimed at us from Venezuela, we now hear. Where is Obama? The value is in the hanging, not in the falling. The lesser of the evils will be to live according to the will of crazies. People are beginning to realize that conscious awareness matters.
So be aware that in the order of things, came the human, the highest in the order insofar as we know. Religion, rather than relying of reason and logic, human attributes, relies on faith in God and there are many ideas of who God is and what God wants from us. The bottom line of religion is power and control. With religion in control, we will either leave ourselves history written in the rocks or revert back to biblical times, and thence to lower life swinging in trees. The cutting edge of science realizes from lab experiments that the universe is ordered; that nothing could exist without consciousness.
The obvious problem is our inability to control power. Our Constitution failed to stop ambitious men from taking control of our lives. The powerful gain control, bring about destruction, and then we begin again. In the natural progressive order came the Age of Pisces, and with it a great teacher, Jesus Christ. His contemporaries crucified him. Humanity continued on its destructive course until now our very existence is in peril and we are on the downside of the wave.
A big change is inevitable. Those in control—Muslims socialists, fascists, communists, revolutionary anarchists—all dreaming of one-world government, little do they know about the makeup of the universe. The ancients, and now the cutting edge of science, bring us the Age of Aquarius, a one-world brotherhood of individuals with God-given rights.
The new rules for the world’s economy, “for thriving in a turbulent world,” appeared in Wired magazine’s September 1997 issue. “Networks have saturated every space in our lives, an entirely new set of rules will take hold,” asserted the author, Kevin Kelly. The new world order will be nothing like the above mentioned smoke-blowing power seekers imagine.
As for the economy,
- The Law of Connections: The collapsing microcosm of chips and the exploding telecosm of connections tear the old laws of wealth apart and prepare territory for the emerging economy. So quit worrying about the filthy rich. Think only about getting rich yourself. It’s being made easy.
- The Law of Plentitude: Curious things happen when you connect all to all. Adding a few more members can dramatically increase the value for all members. So quit being dependent on government. Government gives you a pittance.
- The Law of Exponential Value: The chart of Microsoft’s cornucopia of profits is a revealing graph because it mirrors several other plots of rising stars in a Network Economy. However, the same forces that feed on each other to amplify network presences into powerful overnight standards can also work in reverse to unravel them in a blink. Success will become nonlinear and self-regulating, thus your chances better if you leave the regulation happy government out.
- The Law of Tipping Points: Significance precedes momentum. Success became infectious and spread pervasively, and along with it a growing government. It became difficult not to be infected. For instance, how long could one hold out not having a telephone? So why a growing parasite government?
- The Law of Increasing Returns: Them that’s got shall get. It depends on this: while centralized government gets more punishing, the Network Economy rewards schemes that allow decentralized creation, and punishes those that don’t.
- The law of Inverse Pricing: While the worst—government—gets more costly each year, the very best gets cheaper each year. It is a major engine for the new economy.
- The Law of Generosity: Government generously gives away our sweat and creates dependence. Microsoft makes huge profits by giving away its Web browser, thereby creating a need. Get government out of the economy.
- The Law of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to my country. The prosperity of the company is directly linked to the prosperity of the network. Get government out of our lives.
- The Law of Devolution: Let go, Washington, D.C. The tightly linked nature of any economy, but especially the Network Economy’s ultraconnected constitution, make it behave ecologically. The fate of individual organizations is not dependent entirely on their own merits, but also on the fate of their neighbors, their allies, their competitors, and, of course, on that of the immediate environment. Al Gore doesn’t know this.
The Network Economy is a brotherhood. The anarchy the revolutionaries think they are creating (this from my dictionary) will result in the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society, actually a brotherhood of people with God-given rights.
After understanding the fabric that makes reality, all things being aspects of mind, and unity in nature, consciousness, the engine that drives our struggling souls, the religion being created by the cutting edge of science, the collective will of the people, and far and away from the above mentioned power seekers notions, will bring about a brotherhood and but one God who loves us all. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.
