Zeitgeist: Addendum Page #12

Kids will ask their parents:

Didn't you see the necessity of the machines?

Dad, couldn't you see, that war

was inevitable when you produce scarcity

when you produce scarcity?

Isn't it obvious?

Of course, the kid will understand

that you're pinheads - raised merely to serve

the established institutions.

Were such an abominable, sick society

that we wont make the history books.

Theyll just say that large nations took land

from smaller nations, used force and violence.

Youll get history talked about as corrupt behavior

all the way along until the beginning of the civilized world.

Thats when all the nations work together.

World unification, working toward common good for all human

beings and without anyone being subservient to anyone else.

Without social stratification whether it be technical elitism

or any other kind of elitism, eradicated from the face of the earth.

The state does nothing because there is no state.

The system I advocate, a resource

based global economy is not perfect,

its just a lot better than what we have.

We can never achieve perfection.

My country is the world and my religion is to do good.

Thomas Paine, 1737-1809

The social values of our society, which has manifested

in perpetual warfare, corruption, oppressive laws,

social stratification, irrelevant

superstitions, environmental destruction,

and a despotic socially

indifferent profit oriented ruling class

is fundamentally the result of a collective ignorance of

two of the most basic insights humans can have about reality.

The emergent and symbiotic aspects of natural law.

The emergent nature of reality is that all systems; whether it is

knowledge, society, technology, philosophy, or any other creation

will, when uninhibited, undergo fluid perpetual change.

What we consider commonplace today such

as modern communication and transportation,

would have been unimaginable in ancient times.

Likewise, the future will

contain technologies, realizations,

and social structures that we

cannot even fathom in the present.

We have gone from alchemy to chemistry,

from a geocentric universe to a heliocentric

from believing that demons were

the cause of illness to modern medicine.

This development shows no sign of ending,

and it is this awareness that aligns us and leads

us on a continuous path to growth and progress.

Static empirical knowledge does not exist, rather it is

the insight of the emergence of all systems we must recognize.

This means we must be open to new information at all times,

even if it threatens our current belief system, and hence, identities.

Sadly society today has failed to recognize this,

and the established institutions continue to

paralyze growth by preserving outdated social structures.

Simultaneously, the population

suffers from a fear of change.

For their conditioning assumes a static identity and challenging

ones belief system, usually results in insult and apprehension.

For being wrong is erroneously associated with failure.

When in fact to be proven wrong should be celebrated.

For it is elevating someone to a new

level of understanding, furthering awareness.

The fact is, there is no such

thing as a smart human being,

for it is merely a matter of time before

their ideas are updated, changed, or radicated.

And this tendency to blindly hold on to a belief system,

sheltering it from new possibly transforming information

is nothing less than a form of intelectual materialism.

The monetary system perpetuates this materialism

not only by its self-preserving structures,

but also throught the countless number of people

who have been conditioned into blindly

and thoughtlessly upholding these structures,

therefore becoming self-appointed

guardians of the status quo.

Sheep which no longer need

a sheep-dog to control them.

For they control each other by

ostracizing those who step out of the norm.

tendency to resist change and uphold

existing institutions for the sake of identity,

comfort, power and profit is completely unsustainable;

and will only produce further imbalance,

fragmentation, distortion, and very invariably destruction.

Its time to change.

From hunters and gatherers, to the agricultural revolution,

to the industrial revolution, the pattern is clear.

It is time for a new social system which

reflects the understandings we have today.

The monetary system is a product of a

period of time when scarcity was a reality.

Now with the age of technology it is no longer relevant

to society. Gone with the aberrant behavior it manifests.

Likewise, dominant world views such as theistic

religion operate with the same social irrelevancy.

Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and all of the

others exist as barriers to personal and social growth.

For each group perpetuates a closed world view.

And this finite understanding that they acknowledge

is simply not possible in an emergent universe.

Yet religion has succeeded in shutting

down the awareness of this emergence

by instilling the psychological

distortion of faith upon its followers.

Where logic and new information is rejected

in favor of traditionalized outdated beliefs.

The concept of god, is really a method

of accounting for the nature of things.

In the early days people didnt know enough about

how things formed, how nature worked.

So they invented their own little stories,

and the made god in their own image.

A guy that gets angry when

people dont behave right.

He creates floods, and earthquakes,

and they say its and act of god.

A cursory glance at the suppressed history of religion

reveals that even the foundational myths themselves

are emergent culminations developed

through influence over time.

For example a cardinal doctrine of the Christian

faith is the death and resurrection of Christ.

This notion is so important that the Bible itself states

And if Christ be not risen then is our

preaching vain and your faith is also vain

Yet it is very difficult to

take this account literally,

for not only is there no primary source

denoting this supernatural event in secular history,

awareness of the enormous number of pre-Christian

saviors who also died and were resurrected

immediately puts this story in

mythological territory by association.

Early church figures such as Tortullian

went to great lengths to break these associations,

even claiming that the devil

caused the similarities to occur.

Stating in the second century The devil,

whose business is to pervert the truth,

mimics the exact circumstances of the Divine Sacraments.

He baptizes his believers and promises forgiveness of sins

he celebrates the oblation of bread,

and brings in the symbol of the resurrection.

Let us therefore acknowledge the craftiness of the devil,

who copied certain things of those that be Divine.

What is truly sad however, is that when we

cease the idea that the stories from Christianity,

Judaism, Islam and all the others are literal history,
