An open letter

TO ALL GOOD-HEARTED CITIZENS OF PLANET EARTH.

The 21st century belongs to us. We the people. There are grounds for optimism, we are waking up.  They are few, we are many. And they are shaking in their boots, hence the increasing repression and mind-control.  Hanging on to an outmoded paradigm with bloody fingernails.  It's got to go, has to.  We are increasingly seeing through the Great Lie.  What is the Great Lie?

 Selling arms to both sides and posing as an angel of peace.

 Keeping an unjust economic system alive after it has clearly died.  Time to pull the plug.

 Pretending there is democracy while converting the system to a one party kleptocratic dictatorship.

 Emphasizing illness when it's health that we all want.

 Orwellian distortion:  War is peace, hate is love, bad is good, slavery is freedom etc.

 Lies after lies, you know what they are, fill in the blanks yourself........

It's time to build a whole new world based on values of mutual caring, equality and support for basic human needs, not control and cynical manipulation. Let's find a way to bring kind people to the fore and retire the psychopaths.  They have had their day.  And not just human needs either, support for all life forms in this amazing planetary ecology.

A perfect world?  Unlikely.  But it could be a whole lot better than this.  We are all individuals and we are mostly kind, good and caring.  We are all inherantly powerful and we all know there is something dreadfully wrong in our society.  For a start, it's all gotten way too big and bloated.  Time to downsize across the board.  There is enough for all, but heading for smaller units is generally the way towards fairness; ask anyone who has given the matter serious thought.

George Orwell said, look to the proles, and he was on the right track.  But I would say, look to the indigenous.  Terence McKenna talked about the archaic revival.  Yes, but it's got to be totally modern as well.  Modern but with some ancient essential understandings that are now being increasingly backed up by cutting-edge quantum physics:

  All is connected.

  All is conscious.

  We are each made of atoms.  Each atom contains mind-boggling power.  We are all
  tremendously powerful but mostly don't know it.

  This place is just one of many dimensions.

  Circles over hierarchies.

  We are eternal.  We came from somewhere and we go back.  Want to call it the Zero Point Field?       OK by me.  The Kingdom of Heaven?  The Void?  Nirvana?  Fine, whatever.


 The essence of all is love.


There is much to be done so we must proceed slowly  -  The Buddha
