A Good Horse Runs Just With Seing The Shadow Of The Whip

Totalitarian 2.0, Democracy 2.0, Society 2,0, Me 2.0

Totalitarian 2.0

We are currently going through a new form of totalitarian feudalism that replaced the brutal oppressive force of old with technocratic surveillance and sophisticated psy-ops to nudge us into submission.

Rebekah Barnett

published a comprehensive summary of top Australian honours being awarded to the controversial totalitarian public figures of Danieal Andrews (aka “Dictator Dan”, Mark McGowan (aka “Mark McClown”) and former TGA top-bureaucrats John Skerrit (not nicknamed yet - any suggestions?)

Needless to say, the Australian resistance movement feels frustrated and disheartened by this. The Australian corrupt establishment doing the bidding for the global puppetmasters seems to be holding firm, and tapping each other on the shoulders in old-Soviet-style ceremonies,

It appears that nothing has changed. The elites stick together and hold on to power.

But do not despair.

It will turn eventually. And we can do something to turn it around, actually. More on that further down.

It took six decades to hunt down most of the Nazis. Everything the Covid-Nazis have done is documented. And they know that. They know they got carried away, intoxicated by power. They know that they overplayed their cards. They are not stupid.

They will have regrets.

Not for society. Not for us. No, no, no. For themselves. They fucked up and they know it. What they did can’t be undone and will be remembered forever.

It will never go away. Forever is a very long time.

It will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

These awards will be a thin-layered delusion for them. It only temporarily eases their constant worries that everything they have done will come crashing down on them eventually. And until then, they will suffer every day from anxiety.

This pathetic attempt to rewrite history and renovate their tarnished and ruined public reputation is only a flimsy band-aid.

Those power-drunken crimes against humanity will hang over them forever. It is not if they will be hunted down, it is when they will be caught, humiliated and punished. The hunt started four years ago.

They will not sleep well. Their cushy new jobs and all those extra dollars will never erase this nagging fear about how much longer this protection system that keeps them safe for now will hold up. They depend on it.

But too many people have been hurt. Not only ordinary people. Powerful people have been hurt too. Angry people want revenge. That’s how power systems work.

And they all rely upon each other to keep the chain of lies together. Sooner or later, the weakest links break and the house of cards will collapse.

There is no love lost between them. To save their skin, they skin others. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. You use power, power will bring you down.

I do not envy them. They are doomed.

But I don’t want to write about them. I have enough of them. I want to write about how we can reclaim our inner peace and freedom on a societal and personal level. I am very optimistic we can.

Democracy 2.0

Why am I optimistic?

After all, democracy is rotten compared to a few decades ago. Some cynics say that this is all an illusion. It was always rotten, we just didn’t see it.

But they have forgotten the history of oppression.

They have forgotten that it took millennia for the people to free themselves from oppression reaching the freedoms and human rights we still all enjoy. Yes, they are under serious threat but compared to our ancestors we do well.

Not as well as we should do, but it always has been work in process.

Only 250 years ago we started to tuck on our chains. For thousands of years, most people have not even questioned their chains.

The rights, freedoms and opportunities we clawed back in the past centuries from feudal overlords are unprecedented.

Yes, we took two or three steps back in the past few decades and we all know why.

Mostly, people got complacent and allowed themselves to be lulled in by excessive consumerism. We got lazy, taking freedom and democracy for granted. But this is a wake-up call for many.

Unfortunately, it will probably take decades to fix and improve it.

But people sniffed and lived a lot of freedom for several generations for the first time in civilized history.

But the sly and cunning destruction of democracy and freedom that happened recently - on top of the gradual hidden erosion over the past decades - has surpassed the pain threshold of a significant amount of people.

Fortunately, unlike other freedom movements during history, we have a blueprint we can fall back to. We lived it to the greatest extent humans ever did - excluding pre -civilisation nomadic cultures. Only they were truly free within the limits of tribal constraints in the service of survival, not power.

We know it is possible. It worked once and it will work again.

We always knew that power would corrupt and tried to safeguard democracy against it. It was a start and a huge improvement to anything previous. But the forces of greed and power are as intelligent and determined as the forces of democracy and freedom. And they are winning at the moment.

We will quickly have to learn from that and develop more robust safeguards for democracy and human rights. And we have to rethink how we appoint and control public servants because it starts and ends with them.

We need some form of bureaucracy to manage democracy - I can't see any other way.

But this out-of-control evergrowing deep-state corrupt bureaucracy is at the core of the current crisis of democracy. And they teamed up with insanely rich and powerful billionaires not the least interested in our freedom and democracy. They are, in fact, the new feudal overlords.

Bureaucracy was set up to control them - not to collude with them.

We need to invent new and better processes to safeguard and control democratic institutions and bureaucracy, independent of them.

Possibly another body that overlooks them.

Possibly a circular chain of control and oversight.

Possibly, possibly, possibly……..

I just realized how futile this exercise is.

Much smarter people than me have tried throughout history. A slow and painful sew-saw process resulting in ever-repeating social tensions, conflict and perpetual suffering. But we soldier on in the same old tracks.

Maybe we have to look at the big picture.

We have been using power and control to organise our societies for a long time. Democracy is no different. As long we do that, conflict and suffering is inevitable.

Nothing short of a paradigm shift is needed for lasting peace, freedom and love - something every human would immediately sign up to if offered.

For lasting peace, we need a miracle.

Society 2.0

They say politics is downstream from culture. Culture is a function created by society.

The miracle needed is a shift from a society structured and governed by “power” to a society governed by love and wisdom.

I know. This is a lofty goal, but bear with me.

Theoretically, it is possible.

Practically, almost every one of us had moments of love and wisdom. When we recall it, we remember from our own experience that EVERYTHING flows effortlessly in such a state. It is possible. All of us just need to do it all the time.

A few of us doing it regularly is probably sufficient. It is highly contagious.

Imagine whole societies vibrating on that frequency.

Power-based systems seek solutions to problems. In love-based systems, there are no problems to overcome.

Love doesn’t solve problems, it dissolves problems.

But it requires a total reset of how we approach life.

A love-based society, by definition, can’t be created.

It can only happen organically.

It is not based on “doing” something to “achieve” something. “Achieving” a specific outcome would automatically evoke opposition and friction and require power-solutions to overcome them.

That’s what religions have tried and we all know how that ends. More of the same power struggles.

Me 2.0

It is not complicated.

It all starts and ends with how much love and goodwill goes around in a society.

It all starts and ends with us, each individual.

It all starts with one earnest conviction and intention: First, do no harm.

We will only have a peaceful just society if a significant number of people find peace and love in their hearts and act from that. And the heart is softened by accumulated pain and suffering.

On a personal level and societal level.

This is usually a long slow and painful process. It is already taking millennials on a social and political level. And a whole life or many lives on a personal level.

But it can be sped up dramatically by spending a few minutes every day to feel it.

The suffering. In our hearts.

This will turn on the heat and slow-cook our heart until it is soft and tender.

The key is to not think about the suffering. We are not looking for remedies or solutions to the pain. We are not solving problems. We are dissolving problems. We are melting problems in the furnace of our hearts.

We are not looking for cause and effect. We don’t allocate blame for the pain. Not to ourselves and not to others.

We simply take a few minutes every day, sit down, close our eyes and feel the pain in our hearts. It might hurt so much that the body wants to cry. Let the body cry.

It doesn’t matter what the pain is about. It might be about ourselves, about people we love or the suffering of strangers out there in the world. Just feel the pain and sadness as long you can without getting distracted by your mind, always looking for solutions and answers.

There are no answers. It is just one big sad human tragedy happening. Have a little or big cry about it. Or no cry. It doesn’t matter what happens.

Whatever happens, while you feel your heart will always benefit you and the world. You can never go wrong feeling your heart.

The immense benefits might not always be immediately obvious, covered up by the pain. But pretty soon they will shine through. Just watch it. And tell me about it in the comments if you like.

The pain can show up in many forms, not only sadness. It can show up in anger, despair, self-flogging, other-flogging, rage or unbearable compassion. Even love. Deep love can be extremely painful and beautiful at the same time.

The mind is a logical tool - it is either this or that. Black or white.

The heart is paradoxical. Don’t let that confuse you. It is normal.

In those few minutes, you don’t have to make sense. There is nothing to understand. Nothing to figure out.

Just feel whatever wants to be felt. Be kind to yourself. Nothing is your fault. Everything just happens and we allocate meaning where there is none.

Do that long enough - just feel for a few minutes every day - and the day will come where you just sit and feel nothing and think nothing.

This is called peace.

This is called bliss.

This is called love.

This is a different kind of peace, bliss and love, however.

This peace is not the opposite of war.

This bliss is not the opposite of suffering

This love is not the opposite of hate.

This peace, bliss and love transcends all opposites.

It is beyond opposites.

It is One with everything.

It is God.

Where did God suddenly come from?

God didn’t come from anywhere. It was always there. Right there, in our hearts.

But you will never find God by looking for Him.

He will find you when you are willing to feel pain. Any pain.

So, it is very simple. All we need to do is to sit down a few minutes every day and just feel whatever wants to be felt. No agenda. No expectations.

After we have felt enough, we get up and go about our day as usual. No need to manipulate it in any way. No need to turn it into a spiritual or religious practice. No need to even talk about it to anyone.

Some days we will sit for 30 seconds. Some days we will sit for 30 minutes.

We get up as soon as it is time to get up. We renew your intention to do it again tomorrow and continue our day.

Soon we will see the healing ripples travel out into our immediate environment. Our spirits will spontaneously lift. In ourselves and others around us.

Soon we spontaneously know what to do next, think next. The heart informs the doing and doing uses the thinking.

Me 2.0 will automatically create society 2.0

Everything - EVERY THING - from the microscopic to the cosmic - is downstream from God and informs it. There is nothing we have to do or solve. It will just happen as soon we align with this God energy.

And EVERY THING will be smothered in peace, bliss and love, the attributes of One God that has no name or shape. EVERY THING is penetrated by it.

That’s why we are penetrated by it. We just have to be it.

And it starts with feeling our pain. And eventually……

And ultimately……what horse? what shadow? what whip?
