Foreword

I am a mechanic, not a academic or a mystic. Academia leaves me confused and divided

as it fragments the whole into subjects and specialities, and mysticism is some distant

ethereal dream, beyond the strife and suffering of our polarised, angry world.

That is not to dismiss the value of intellectual speculation or finding peace in this moment.

Both are essential, inasmuch as they potentially foster objectivity without emotion or

attachment, but my passion is for understanding the how: what makes things tick? The

processes, patterns and mechanics of anything and everything: be they binary digits or

universal rhythms, the psychology of religion or global finance, and, then, how they interact.

Certainly not as to apportion blame, I am no more judge than philosopher. But, if as a

species we wish to master the disparities and disputes of humanity, firstly we must

understand something of the history, structures and motivation defining and powering our

world: before then asking, given the proclivities of humanity:

(Sweeping aside disparity and prejudice): How could humanity tread a more harmonious,

and happier path, towards its true potential?

The Mechanics of Power

Self Interest

All life is driven by self interest: every decision, every action: its mode of being. No life form

exists outside this paradigm.

For 'simple' life forms, self interest knows only hunger and life: feeding, excreting/birthing

clones.

With complexity come defence and attack mechanisms and strategies, recognising the

fragility and brutality of life.

Sexual reproduction brings collaboration, intercourse with another life form, sharing of

genes and a profusion of diversity. And primary emotions, instincts in recognisable form:

hunger, fear and procreation.

Primary, proximate, self interest, present in all, and labelled 'the reptile brain' by psycholo-

gists and the like, primordial drives. Perhaps insect or arachnid brain are equally valid, but

in simplistic terms given 'reptile' conjures forth the image of a barely concious creature,

solely concerned with feeding, fighting and fornication it seems quite appropriate. Primary

drives, and first to spring into action in moments of crisis and promise: root thinking.

Though time, through accident or design, so the story goes, more sophisticated species

evolved fur and feathers, and, for the most part, developed some form of reciprocal beha-

viour for security, hunting and rearing young. Species that had to nurture offspring, not

belch out a clone or lay eggs and scarper. Commitment beyond the immediate, towards

pack, partner, progeny: emotional attachment. Self interest moves beyond the immediate,

to be reckoned in seasons and years: and amongst the most socially complex species,

generations.

5

Primary drives still found their being, but without participation within the social order, life

becomes a fragile and fruitless affair. Undoubtedly, within said social units, hierarchies,

'alphas', likely the physically strongest, shaping the future of the group, but bound by phys-

ical limitations and social expectations. A harsh and unforgiving world where the order is

acknowledged by all and any challenge dealt with accordingly: until, “the king is dead, long

live the king”. Although, restructuring, not death, is by far the commonest outcome. Death

does not serve the interests of the social unit.

Here is humanity as a semi-evolved simian, brutal, savage, a wild beast that would tear any

modern human to shreds, and eat the spoils. Acting as comes naturally, yet tied to a tribe,

with emotional commitment to generations. Along its evolutionary path this creature

harnessed fire and as it did so, its relative power in nature multiplied many times: for all

creatures are wary of fire. Disputes exist as to the earliest tools of humanity, but what is

indisputable is that with each and every one, humanity's relative power continued to

increase.

Nature was always the provider (and destroyer) with which we existed in harmony, as all

else on earth: but with our new found talents and skills, understandings, honed and expan-

ded through generations, humanity's mastery inexorably rose. In time to envelop herding

and horticulture.

Humanity was a success, in terms of power to weight ratio. Although, given our relative

power to weight ratio, unarmed and unskilled, it is abundantly clear how nature has tried to

reclaim the disparity: how pitifully weak and feeble humanity has become in relation to any

creature of equivalent size.

This point must not be understated. Humanity did not evolve through fighting, it evolved

through understanding, thinking. Ignorant brutish thugs were long since disengaged from

power: today they are much smarter. This is not the brutal, inhospitable world of Hobbes

and Kant: physical weaklings, isolated from and fearful of untamed nature, but a tale of

mastery: proven by humanity's spread and dominion.

With this mastery came time eventually to develop language beyond behaviour: speech,

and consider beyond the practical, pragmatic, and accustomed.

In time this creature will contemplate creation and the passage of the heavens, but for now

we need only recognise: within the group, long term, ultimate self interest is represented in

6

the coherent functioning and flourishing of the social unit. There is (was?) no culture ever

to exist outside this paradigm.

*

Self interest: proximate, ultimate, these are our extremes. In the real world all are complex

mixtures of both, and all shades in between. Potentially flipping from one state to another

dependant upon stimulus: materialism, terrorism, spiritualism, sex, war, dominion, family,

nation, religion... In effect, anything that generates a positive or negative emotion, either to

guts and genitals, the reptile brain, or to heart and mind, the humane brain, represents our

perceived self interest.

So, if considering the mechanics of power, we must recognise firstly the stimuli. But just as

importantly, how they got there, who's applying them, and for why?

Suckers and Cheats

I'm reminded here of Richard Dawkins' 'suckers and cheats' analogy in 'The Selfish Gene'.

Dawkins uses the example of a species that have to suck parasites from their fellows,

which takes time and effort, consequently expending energy when they could be feeding or

rutting. The 'cheat' evolves that only pretends to suck off parasites, thus gaining advantage

over the sucker and consequently reproducing in ever greater numbers. As cheats flourish

so suckers diminish, unable to compete with this new 'skill'. Potentially leading to a para-

site devoured extinction, unless, say, a 'grudger' were to evolve, undermining the 'cheat'

and re-establishing an evolutionary stable species.

Theoretically this may be correct, but, as with all game theory, overly simplistic models

break down in practice. For if one has a species so socially evolved as to remove parasites

from one another, one would also imagine, any individual displaying such antisocial beha-

viour, would be dealt with by the social unit as its behaviour became recognised.

Taking a real life example, rather than a theoretical model: chimps for example, or, their

alternately evolved cousins, and following mainstream evolutionary perspectives: it is most

likely picking nits and ticks from one another was both part of social grooming, and a

useful source of protein and minerals.

In reality, a 'cheat' in nature is impossible: the feint of the cobra, the disguise of the hover

fly, the smell of the skunk, are tricks, not cheats. For 'cheat' is a concept, a value judge-

7

ment, predicated on a notion of right an wrong: and only humans know about 'right and

wrong'.

The 'cheat' must remain invisible, unknown to the sucker: to all its five (six?) senses, and

to the group as a whole. In reality the 'cheat' is smartly exposed and excluded, however, if

the cheat, or trick, is not discovered until it has infected, or evolved into, a great enough

percentage of the species, this would generate an entirely different scenario.

*

Words are tricks. Before words, the only Truth was behaviour, one's own and God's: the

external world, the other, call it what you will. With words, Truth fragments into being and

doing, noun and verb: leaving only a representation or conceptualisation of Truth.

Moreover, these sounds and squiggles, these representations of Truth, are further clouded

by both the perspective and motive of the issuer: and, the interpreter.

It was in this environment, with the invention of 'good and evil', that the trick of cheating

became employed by those who would live off the toil of others.

A singularity

In examining texts from antiquity, if there is only one thing that is clear and apparent, and

consistent throughout, it is treatment of the other: with love. I am unaware of any spiritual

teacher who does not concur. A message consistent with the earliest lessons ascribed to

the gods: as Shiva, our oldest continually worshipped deity, as a filthy beggar, rewards

kindness and hospitality in tale after tale. Confucius, Buddha, Christ... no matter where we

turn this one message is unequivocal.

However, from this singularity, through language and time, and ego and greed, all manner

of interpretations have materialised to confuse and obscure, concentrate power, and pit

one idol worshipper against another.

*

“Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God that which is God's”: one line,

attributed to Jesus, upon which validation of both church and state are founded.

However, Jesus is also attributed with stating, “no man can serve two masters”. So did he

8

change his mind, make a mistake, or, is one of these quotes manipulated and misrepres-

ented by the power holders?

For, if we are seeking consistency and harmony in the words of our prophets, then we must

acknowledge a holistic, deeper meaning to this apparent contradiction. And whilst upon

first glance the two positions appear contradictory, taking a broader perspective – remem-

bering under whose authority Jesus was crucified – a more harmonious image comes to

light. Namely: the godless products of Caesar must be returned to him.

If you serve Caesar, you cannot serve God. Ipso facto, if you serve God, you cannot serve

Caesar. Therefore, Caesar is an impostor: as are all his progeny: princes, presidents, and

popes. Jesus does not validate an intermediary.

“Liars and hypocrites”, Jesus calls them: cheats by another name. And as modern history

began, these cheats claimed empowerment from God: and the suckers, knowing no better,

believed them. The antisocial cheats took control of Truth and set about remaking God in

their own image.

That was millennia past, people have long since fallen out of love with their 'God given'

rulers. Today religion is an ornament. We now have universal suffrage, 'human rights' and

the 'free market'. A world where we are all cheats, all suckers and all grudgers.

All cheats: as we consume and pollute without having the capacity to appreciate the true

human and environmental costs and consequences of our being. All suckers: as we swal-

low the lies, or tricks, of silken tongued, sharp suited politicians and marketeers, either

through ignorance, or for expediency (proximate cheat, ultimate sucker). All grudgers: as we

attach ourselves to past resentments and perceived injustices, to shade and shape our

paths through life.

Tricks for Truth

However, we must also recognise, the capacity to cheat beyond the personal is held by a

minuscule, and decreasing, percentage of humanity. Why is that? Accepted, through gener-

ations they have become adept, ruthless and extraordinarily powerful, but if there's more

money, stuff and innovation, and more freedom of movement for people, ideas, commodit-

ies and finance (and more cheating (and grudging)), than at any time through history,

shouldn't wealth be dispersing, permeating humanity, rather than concentrating: at an ever

increasing rate?

9

And here we find further tricks, or cheats, set as foundations of Truth. Invisible to almost

all, and accepted without question: despite their anathema to our founding prophets.

'Truths', or tricks, from “liars and hypocrites”: upon which our materialist, polarised, intoler-

ant world is constructed. Tricks that are simply not considered for debate: not even held up

for recognition, but set as truths in their own right. Tricks to enable dynastic rule, suck the

lifeblood from independence and monopolise material world:

Law, Ownership and Money.

Tricks designed to concentrate, not dissipate. Until now, where command of technology,

resources and finance, rests in the hands of at most a few thousand, and perhaps in signi-

ficant terms, just a few hundred: of seven billion.

Perhaps in their omnipotence and arrogance seeing themselves as some new master race,

driving their bewildered herd through war and crisis: to feed off the resultant turmoil.

Whereas of course, in reality, we know, they are no more than an antisocial mutant, an

ignorant throwback. A throwback to primordial times: to the pre-social, unconscious mind of

the reptile.

10

Constructing Reality and the Collective Unconscious

God does not play dice

Lying at the foundation of modern physics is a monster beyond reckoning. The wave

particle duality, and the inescapable, repeatable, verifiable conclusion that at the moment

of observation the wave transforms to a particle. The act of observing causes the change:

observation, consciousness, creates reality! (and in the process, (theoretically) undermin-

ing Newton's clockwork, ordered image of our universe).

This is mightily disturbing for physicists, so it is hidden away at the base of Quantum Mech-

anics, accepted but not discussed, and dismissed with a shoulder shrug. It underlies

however, what has become know as 'Chaos Theory'. Chaos, because results are beyond

determination or measure (using their thinking and instruments): the 'random' act of obser-

vation cannot (can never) be removed from the equation.

However, it is also true, that when one's nose is pushed into a Persian rug, intricate, even

simple patterns appear as chaos to the unaware or ill informed.

The complexity of weather patterns is a frequently invoked image to demonstrate 'chaos':

butterfly wings flapping in one part of the world influencing formation and direction of

hurricanes in another. Yet, whilst the interaction is undoubtedly true, as is the potential

'chaos' wreaked by said hurricane, if observed from distance, both the flap of the butterfly

wings and the hurricane generate wonderful patterns, harmonics, of extraordinary accuracy.

Repeating patterns: from the microscopic to the galactic, with inclinations even galaxies

may so align, or harmonise, within the order of things.

It seems all creation inclines towards order: though as no movement or photon can exist in

isolation, all must be in relation. In relation to, and as an essential ingredient of, the

whole.

11

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... The Fibonacci or Golden Spiral, a simple number

sequence where the first number is added to the second to create a third, which is then

added to the second to create a fourth, and so on, to infinity, and in the process generating

a spiral, and ratio, observable in seashells, ram's horns, branching trees, anatomy,

weather patterns... continued, inherent throughout nature, to manifest in our journey

through the stars. Harmonic beauty, everywhere, acting, dancing within the whole, shaping,

and being shaped by, the individuality and uniqueness of each and every player, compon-

ent, photon within the grand universal symphony (but a fucking nightmare for physicists

who must now account for every wave and particle and interaction since the birth of time).

*

There are also patterns in humanity, from our personal behaviour to the rise and fall of civil-

isations: and in the moral messages attributed to such events. Certainly within religious

tales but continued up to this day in fictions about empire, and the rhetoric of our modern

day Pharaohs: Justice!, Peace!, Freedom!... Courage!, Strength!, Unity!... being contempor-

ary expletives to validate domination and slaughter. A repetitive pattern, expanding with

each manifestation delivering today's model: differing only in scale, sophistication and

control.

But, what of its birth?

I am making three assumptions here: 1) humanity has always been a social animal: it

nurture's young within some manifestation of family, 2) we once existed in harmony with

nature, and consequently 3) buried deep within the core of our being is recognition of a

sense of benevolence, in relation to the whole: the other, life (no matter how distant or

irrelevant it seems today).*

To create an environment conducive to war and slavery, first we need concepts, then we

need reasons. And for this we need language, beyond behaviour: speech.

Speech is humanity's greatest discovery. Without words we would still be camped by the

fireside, but speech comes at a terrible price. For, by separating being (noun) from doing

(verb), word from action, we corrupt Truth: leaving only its representation, and in the

process, enabling the potential for lies.

As I have argued, there is a congenital sense of benevolence, engraved into our being, in

12

as much as it is better to be than not to be, and one cannot exist in isolation, so our

natural state of being is in harmony with the whole: the divine order. And surely, the further

our consciousness opened, the greater our appreciation and wonder became.

No society throughout history has existed without gods (reasons): and people loved their

gods. They did not curse or hate them (although they surely feared them), but gave thanks

to them in celebration for the joy of life. However, this harmony was shattered forever as

some ingrate discovered the lie of 'Good and Evil'. The lie that another knows better how to

live your life than you do. And sin, if there ever was one, of surrendering responsibility for

being to that other.

The Collective Unconscious

The very fact we recognise 'good' proves its existence.

However, there are two aspects to good. First there is good in benevolence and harmony, in

being within creation: loving life. But then there is good in the personal and proximate: in

gratification and superiority, materialism and dominion: good in things, and claiming owner-

ship. Good for me, but, bad for all other: the rest of creation.

However, regardless of how anyone behaves, or how smeared and perverse their window

on creation, rooted in their core, our core, is good in being: the natural inclination towards

harmony. For, it is that which founds consciousness, existence: and if it did not exist we

would have no understanding of it. Such was the order of all things: the timeless harmony

of creation.

Then man discovered 'good and evil', and in that moment harmony was lost. Connection

with the divine was severed by submission to a middleman, an alternate reality: for prom-

ises. An insidious whisper caught on a breeze, almost unnoticed, but seductive, promising

security for freedom, whipping to a swirl as material riches accrued to those who

surrendered, but, in discord with Truth and the harmony of being: and so indelibly imprinted

to the heart of the unconscious.

In time all manner of impostors will materialise and develop, chanting “God's will”: through

the rise and fall of states, empires, civilisations. But its birth, at least symbolically, must

surely lie with the self acclaimed 'Chosen': God's people, with a divine book. A book hold-

ing every facet of Truth, rooted in Eve and Adam, the parents of humanity: my siblings.

Along our path this holy book offers us all manner of beautiful lessons, cryptic predictions

13

and captivating metaphors to enlighten our journey: vivid images of our primordial past and

predestined future, tied within the patterns, symbols, manifestations sparkling from within.

Unfathomable Truths.

However, for the merchant, also ample opportunity for misinterpretation and manipulation,

in service of the personal and proximate, wealth and ego: most particularly, because every

action is sanctioned though divine grace.

A strange conundrum, that begs the question, Why? As images for adoration and aspira-

tion? To wisely rule? To harmoniously shape our shared future? It is enough to leave one

doubting the very existence of God!

And yet, the ways of God are unknowable to human reason – and though that initial discord

is now a cacophonous maelstrom, where the lie is the norm, (logos have replaced Logos)

and Truth appears irrelevant, or subversive – predictions and perspectives within this holy

book show uncanny foresight, and insight. As though, although apparent chaos, viewed

from outside, with detachment, appreciative to the universal grand symphony, a glorious

movement approaching a crescendo.

Method in madness, and harmony in all things: no matter how violently we struggle against.

*

Dreams are windows on the unconscious.

Carl Jung analysed dreams to unlock many a trauma and dysfunction: to ease the discord

and return sufferers to (relative) harmony. Each case unique but nevertheless patterns and

archetypes, symbols, continually repeating: behaviour rooted in 'forgotten' events and

abuses of one kind or another; resonating through generations.

Jung also studied the psychology of religion, and collective behaviour: and how understand-

ings, at an unconscious level, manifest in dreams, life and symbolism.

So what of the Chosen? God's people, with ten commandments. Here, Jung argues, we

must not make the mistake of confusing literal Truth with symbolic/religious Truth: the

actual events, which may or may not have taken place, but how those events are inter-

preted subconsciously and the emotions and behaviour they generate within those who

14

identify with the label.

We are not therefore concerned with the literal death of Christ or his relationship to God,

but the symbolic Truths absorbed in the unconscious, both of those symbolically ordering

the crucifixion, and the new 'Chosen': those now identifying with this symbolic saviour,

who, so the story goes, “died for our sins”.

In 'Answer to Job', Jung argues for the expanding consciousness of humanity: sealed irre-

vocably with that of God.i From the brutal God of the Old Testament, who exterminates

indiscriminately, because his creation does not behave as expected: which, given God is all

knowing, if he had consulted the 'Divine Plan', embedded in his own consciousness he

would have foreseen. God creates (and destroys), but has no awareness of what it creates.

In time, as humanity's consciousness expands and its true potential becomes increasingly

evident, we have the story of Job: where God tortures and torments Job, destroying his live-

lihood, family and health in a bet with Satan. Job refuses to curse God. God wins his bet

with Satan (which if he had consulted his consciousness he would not have need to make)

but, in the process, hands a moral superiority to Job, who appeals for justice to God's

consciousness, of which, at this time in God's evolution, he is barely aware.

For this, God owes a debt, and for which, Jung argues, he must now recognise in man the

potential for godhood. And, as such, God must now appear in human form: while finally

expelling Satan, the trickster, his unconsciousness, from heaven.

Christ is the symbolic God-man, born of a union between heaven and earth. The literal truth

is irrelevant, the symbolic truth is essential. Christ signifies a move away from revelation

based religion imposed by authority, towards 'the spark within', religion predicated on love

and harmony: embedded and inseparable within the divine order: religion founded in under-

standing and empowerment, and love for all creation. For, as humanity's consciousness

expands, so too our understanding must incorporate relationships and recognition that our

means of being is impossible without the other.

Christ offers the potential for all to become as he: liberated and aware, harmonised within

the divine order. This is however an unpalatable prospect for all authority (beyond God): the

middlemen, pedlars of subservience: whose perceived interests lie in wealth and dominion,

for which, poverty and slavery are prerequisites. They demand wretched, blind obedience to

their God-given supremacy.

15

“Liars and Hypocrites”, Christ names them: he casts the money-changers from the Temple:

he foresees the meek's inheritance of the earth: he demands love for thine enemies: he

recognises, “no man can serve two masters”... Christ challenges man-made authority on

every front, at every level. Christ, the God-man, advocates balance and harmony: union with

creation.

He has to go! And does very quickly, once popular support gathers momentum: according

to myth and symbolism. But, nevertheless, the seed is planted, god-nature is glimpsed and

challenge and empowerment whip beyond the grasp of structured authority.

In physical terms, such will be captured and confined during the following few centuries:

and the name of Christ used to validate more “liars and hypocrites”, just with different

masks. Yet, within the unconscious, now recognition of potential: and, consequent discord,

as security and materialism trample down freedom and spirituality, where 'ere they plunder.

Symbolically Judaism rejects Christ and what he represents: the spark within, awareness,

love for thine enemies, the whole: and defers to the Old Testament God, or interpretation

thereof. They remain 'Chosen', apart, with a book, and some rules.

Structured Christianity professes to love Christ: as a figure, as an idol, something for vener-

ation and worship, to bow before. However, they employ effectively the same tactics as

Judaism: revelation theology, with interpretation dictated by a middleman.

The spark within, awareness, balance, harmony, love for thine enemies... Christ's evoca-

tions in themselves, hold no interest. Indeed, they are an anathema to all middlemen:

however fancy their outfit, flamboyant their rituals or fantastic their claims. Yet, strangely,

though undoubtedly, they are in position through God's order?! Chosen indeed.

*

Dreams, visions, hold the resonance of surrendered harmony, percolating from the uncon-

scious. The further removed the more discordant.

Interpretation of 'Revelations' is a minefield I am not prepared to tread: undoubtedly

elements have been edited beyond recognition and scholars far more learned have been

heaped with scorn and derision: and postulations are manifold, all bound to interests and

16

founded in ignorance.

But we can, through understanding, recognise archetypes and patterns, and generalised

(some argue astounding) prediction and attitude emanating from the deeply troubled uncon-

scious of John the Apostle. Jung argues:

... John's problem is not a personal one... but visions which came up from a far

more comprehensive depth, namely from the collective unconscious. His problem

expresses itself far too much in collective and archetypical forms for us to reduce it

to a merely personal situation... Such a man no longer lives in the every day world

and in the perplexities of personal relationships, but in the sight of many aeons and

in the movement of ideas as they pass from century to century. The eye of John

penetrates into the distant future of the Christian aeon and into the dark abyss of

those forces which his Christianity kept in equilibrium... The passion that breaks

through in his revelation bears no trace of the feebleness or serenity of old age,

because it is infinitely more than personal resentment: it is the spirit of God itself,

which blows through the weak mortal frame and again demands man's fear of the

unfathomable Godhead.ii

From the Christ-god of John's epistles (all loving, harmonised with creation), although, or

because, he remains pious, this terrifying, wrathful, intolerant god bursts forth from his

unconscious. Seemingly unbidden, but buried deep within, suppressed, John recognises

the perversion of Christ's word and being, now under way in Christianity. From the purest of

births, spiralling corruption and degeneracy become inevitable, inescapable: destined.

Peter (via St. Paul) becomes the 'rock' upon which Christ's conduit to earth is founded. The

most aggressive, least conscious of disciples: demonstrated in the Garden at Gethsemane

and in denying Christ three times before the cock crowed (rather like handing the fate of

your progeny and memory to your minder).

Power corrupts: that gained and that surrendered. There is no human system or structure

immune to this Truth, and once that discord is enacted the conclusion is predestined. And

in time therefore, the 'Wrathful Lamb' must return to humanity, to conduct the crescendo:

to reap the whirlwind, and to restore harmony.

*

17

History is our witness to the arrogance, brutality, carelessness... of rulers throughout all

ages: church, country, consortium... wherever one examines.

The central tenet of power holders through history has been the 'Will of God'. Yet,

ironically, despite their protestations and rhetoric, their behaviour defies their words: it is

the antithesis of Christ's teaching. Take, for example, that “ it is easier for a camel to pass

through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven”, “love of

money is the root of all evil”, and then examine the lifestyle and behaviour of any ruler. The

disparity between these two positions is insurmountable. Indeed, following the admonition

of Christ, these are the least likely to enjoy any heavenly harmony.

God's unconsciousness appears unbounded! This is surely how it seemed to all but the

most ignorant come the Sixteenth Century in Europe. The Bible had been translated and

printed: wrenched from the Roman Church's absolute control, and the petulant greedy wars

of inbred monarchies throttled the livelihood of nations.

Then came 'The Enlightenment', as science and 'reason' increasingly challenged diktat and

behaviour, and bourgeois, artisan and academic found increasing voice and influence.

During the following centuries secularism will become the norm, as, outwardly at least,

church and monarchies take on ornamental roles, and, theoretically at least, decision

making passes to the populace.

As technology, industrialisation and communication advanced, and economics took on a

pivotal role, theories and ideologies developed on how best to administer and advance

humankind within the age of reason.

Today, if we discount the few 'terrorist' states: North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, we are

left with one, or two, effectively dominating means, discourse and direction: Capitalism,

and Zionism, who are as one in method and motivation, and differing only marginally on

priorities and technicalities.

It is interesting to note the prominent influence of Jewish thinkers and game-players, reject-

ing revelation theology and distancing themselves from the Old Testament God, on this

remarkable journey: Marx, Hertzl, Rothschild... Freud, Einstein, Bohr... Churchill, Kissinger,

Friedman... Key players in the march of science, rationalism, and dominion: forces, without

which this world would be a remarkably different place.

18

It is beyond our scope to examine this transition, but it is clear as crystal, war and misery

are as prevalent as ever, and leaders, however empowered, show equally scant regard for

Christ's asceticism and moral code.

However, now, through such advances, the 'civilised' world is brimming with luxuries and

pastimes once enjoyed by the very few. Today, we have chariots with the power of a

hundred horses, all manner of out of season out of climate delicacies magicked from good-

ness knows where, endless frivolity and entertainment, global communications at the press

of a button... as the norm for almost all. Truly, it is a life fit for the gods!

Today we have science, politics and economics: rationalism, secularism and the 'free

market'. God is disempowered, irrelevant, worthless.

“God is dead!” declared Nietzsche: not with smugness or arrogance, but a man ahead of

his time, with a deep, deep foreboding for the approaching maelstrom.

*

We have no need for God at all. Humanity has a new god. Not science, or consumerism, or

abandon, or whatever: they are only its manifestations. God is that which enables them,

what gives them life: little bits of paper, with fancy art work, and a promise. A promise long

since dead and buried.

Money, whether humanity likes it, knows it, or not, has become its new god: the bedrock of

its reason, the Tower of its Babylon, its universal language. Money speaks, and nothing

moves without it. It is our discourse: 0s and 1s zipping between satellites as fortunes are

fabricated and filched.

*

It's a funny thing, to step back a moment: although science and economics, and suffrage,

now appeared to have replaced God for practical purposes, come the Nineteenth Century

the puffed up egos of British aristocracy saw the world as within their grasp, and them-

selves as the master race: with their God given right to rule. And, steeped in Sunday-school

Bible studies, and Hebrew history as much as British, recognised the return of Jesus

Christ, their supposed benefactor, could not happen until the Jews returned to Jerusalem.

19

With one of their less publicised campaigns of the First World War, through lies and trick-

ery, the Christian Zionists, self perceived Crusaders, reclaimed Palestine: which, through

Lord Balfour's declaration to Baron Rothschild, effectively handed it to the Jewish Zionists

(over the heads of its inhabitants for a millennium). Thirty years later, following the 'Holo-

caust', with the connivance of the US and Europe, the state of Israel was established. A

safe haven for Jews, persecuted throughout Christian lands for their rejection of Christ and

supposed role in his death: and also detested, most particularly by monarchy and aristo-

cracy, for their flexible attitude towards, and extraordinary control of money.

Usury, interest, from all religious perspectives is outlawed. In Islam a sin, many times

worse than adultery, and punishable by death. Such was once also so in Christendom, but

come the Nineteenth Century, as economic demands and financial opportunities intensi-

fied, even God, according to his conduit to earth, the Roman Church, changed his mind,

and embraced usury.

Today, interest seems the most natural thing on earth, accepted, without a second

thought. Indeed, the world appears built on it: homes, dams, bridges, skyscrapers,

futures... “How could the banks make money? How could we capitalise projects and invest-

ments?” I hear you cry. But I argue, money is no more than an exchange mechanism: a

middleman between two parties, as a replacement for trust: honesty. A middleman, just as

your preachers once were, before God achieved ornamentality.

Governments are in debt. The world is mortgaged. Wealth concentrates at an ever increas-

ing rate. Wealth concentrates, but not to anyone or thing that serves any useful purpose

(beyond their role in the universal symphony). Middlemen, always, without exception,

middlemen: those defining Truth: value, and, always, they take their percent. And never,

never, are they content.

They will take until there is nothing left to give.

The tables have been righted, there is no need to physically rebuild the Temple: the Phar-

isees were long since made redundant. Symbolically, and literally, with the world as our

temple (moving beyond bricks and mortar), the rights are now owned by the money

merchants: with their 'man of peace' installed in Jerusalem.

20

I ask again: Why on earth does God give power to people like Holy Roman Tony? And

endorse Cardinal Kiddiefiddler as St. Peter's supposed reincarnation?

To propagate love, wisely rule? Or to brand a lesson upon humanity's consciousness never

to be forgot?

*

Imagine, then, after 2,000 years, having sacrificed your 'only begotten son', to wipe the

slate clean: to take away their sins: you decide to inspect humanity's use of this extraordin-

ary gesture.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Never mind about 'global warming', just look at the state of the

place: the oceans, the rivers, the atmosphere, the verdant velvet forests, shaped by the

loving hands of infinite wisdom, and home to diversity and wonder far and forever beyond

the conceptualisation and imagination of human intellect: and God loves all creation. The

suffering, the devastation, the dischord: God's poor, miserable, distorted denizens. Where

is there love? Where is there respect? Where is there harmony?

What sort of Shepherd is this?

Did God owe humanity a debt with his treatment of Job? Jung argues, symbolically, yes.

What has humanity done with the payment? Sure, humanity can argue: exactly as foretold,

inherently bound to their spiritual evolution. True, of course, but, life is about lessons, and

the most traumatic are invariably the deepest ingrained.

Nothing expands indefinitely, all structures become unstable though growth and time. And

human constructs become bloated and distorted through corruption, ignorance and abuse.

Further, all, without exception, today, are both rooted and validated by money: their means

to existence. Quite literally, their god: their belief system. There is nothing else to underpin

it: money works because people believe in it.

The value of money is entirely arbitrary: set by immensely powerful individuals and organ-

isations who value the most useless professions (middlemen) and worthless products

(ornamental (and destructive)) most highly. Useful pastimes like farming, healthcare and

education and useful items like food, clothing (beyond fashion) and minerals hold least

value. Further, the most worthless of the worthless (marketing, advertising, finance,

21

services...) are concentrated in centres of power, as wealth production entities. Centres

without resources in themselves: commodities pour into them from resource rich, poverty

stricken areas: areas forced to adopt Juedo/Christian, Zionist/Capitalist laws and mechan-

isms, to maintain validity.

Yet, debt within these glittering towers to excess is spiralling ever upwards, both that of

governments and populations. The time has long passed since the US, as a whole, stood

any chance of repaying its dues: but the fiction must be maintained, as it serves not the

purpose of any structured authority to see US validity undermined. Where would China sell

its sweatshop products? And undoubtedly, their bailiffs will not be best received.

Indeed, such presents a very pressing problem: an imbalance and dischord unmatched

throughout history: with all the debt, and all the guns and bombs in one place, and all the

resources some place else.

The Jewish god is “a jealous god”, reiterated throughout the OT and confirmed through

Christ: for “no one can serve two masters”. And buried deep within the unconscious of

every Jew, every Christian, every human, recognised or not, sits this Truth: the true

harmony of being.

Now, when it comes to Biblical wrath, it is uncontentious to argue, measured and discrimin-

ate are not the first words conjured forth to describe visitations from God. Quite the oppos-

ite. And 'Chosen', most assuredly, is a label no rational being would ever wish to claim in

such an encounter (personally, I'd proclaim my ignorance and insignificance and be as

inconspicuous as possible).

We see God only through creation and action, and stories foretold. To speak to the Chris-

tian Zionists who reclaimed Jerusalem, or their metaphorical descendants, shaping global

futures, perhaps they see their own astute brilliance through generations in bringing history

to such an extraordinary correlation with the Bible. And undoubtedly they have a game plan:

some suitable firework display combined with hi-tech shenanigans, undoubtedly involving

Israel and a selection of neighbouring parties. A New World Order? Or more of the same,

only more brutal, more penetrating, more intolerant than ever before: governed by the

'Chosen' (perhaps even tied to some significant date, to impart additional validity in the

minds of the gullible). I have no doubt, at least in the proximate, this is within their capa-

city. But, it overlooks two elements: the universal order of things, and God, not money, or

gold, founds Truth.

22

It is not possible to precisely say how things will unfold. There are too many variables,

unknowns: the credulity of humanity, technological malfunction, market confidence, hyperin-

flation, pensions, ageing, unhealthy populations, social fragmentation, global discord,

global warming... or natural catastrophe, but somehow, somewhen, someone, or thing will

manifest once again to symbolically overturn the tables of the money (God) merchants.

However, this time there will be no gold and silver coin scattering among the poor and

wretched: just 0s and 1s and worthless bits of paper. The precious metals and jewels

which once underpinned exchanges have been long since spirited away: hidden, guarded,

locked in vaults, far, far away from common man. Just in case of such an upstart or eventu-

ality materialising.

It is unnecessary to dwell upon the pandemonium this instigates: great, no more mortgage

(death oath) but three days food in the supermarkets and the same for gas stations. Mad

Max on push bikes, and a resultant feast in human flesh for flourishing vermin. Monocul-

ture crops and undermined immune systems point to pestilence, plague and disease,

unknown throughout human history, running amok through the shell shocked survivors. All

of which ties very neatly with tortured outpourings in John's biblical revelation.

Astounding! OK, it is simple to rationalise and understand these process/consequences in

today's world: given that by which we are surrounded and through observing history: but

seeing it almost two millennia past? WTF? John's vision goes beyond guesswork and spec-

ulation: it points to something far wiser and more knowing shaping humanity's unfathom-

able destiny.

Knowing God

God is not some bearded white guy, who sits in judgement over individuals, as Rome would

have you believe. “God keeps no records”. God has Love for all creation, underpinned by

harmony: from where life's joy resonates. And as such, balance must be restored: harmony

re-established, order reimposed: it's nothing personal.

Personal is the judgement we make.

Here is a reason for doing anything and everything: because God is watching you, feeling

you, being you. Your personal god: the god of conscience, rooted in the core of uncon-

scious, is the only valid judge. The only judge of how you have managed the supreme

23

vehicle gifted to your consciousness for manifestation in the material world.

It is easy to forget the infinite journey, distracted by material gain and perceived vulnerabil-

ity, (and with 'scientific rationalism' incapable of conceptualising existence beyond the

material): apparently oblivious to the absolutely inescapable fact, something far wiser than

you or I has their loving hands upon creation. We need no further proof than the Truth

which shines through this woefully distorted and manipulated book. Things will come to

pass, and as they do, so will fulfilment of the grand prediction.

As the dust settles, there will be no Jews or Christians or Muslims: their books are out of

date: the monstrous lies of their middlemen exposed and avenged. Truth is returned to the

individual, to make of it what they will. Now with first hand, undeniable, earth shattering

experience of the brutal yet divine wisdom of God. God crushing the excess and emptiness

of this world like a flea, pumped up and gorged on the blood sucked from its host: precisely

as predicted. Closing the bible, once and for all: yet, imprinting God's presence to the soul.

To quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau:

If God exists, he is perfect; if he is perfect, he is wise, powerful and just; if he is

wise and powerful all is good; if he is just and powerful my soul is immortal: if my

soul is immortal, thirty years of life are nothing for me and are perhaps necessary to

the maintenance of the universe. If I am granted the first proposition, the

subsequent one can never be shaken.iii

As so argue Socrates and the Buddha and all humanity's seminal teachers: harmonists.

The soul is immortal, and being is what you make of it: through eternity.

Self-consciousness is the I that sees itself: and in seeing itself, harmonic connection with

the one, the whole, is lost. Or, more accurately, is buried beneath the interface of I: upon

which is shovelled dirt from conception. But the dirt is swept clean: middlemen exposed,

naked: not for adulation and worship, as they would have you believe, but as the most

terrible, and crucial, lesson of surrendering responsibility for being to another.

The shell shocked remnants of humanity, post revelation, will gradually find their feet: in

harmony once again. All will be re-empowered, fundamentally, through necessity. And, also,

now returned to the Garden, where there is more than enough for all: with the spectre of

God, your god, knowing, governing all. A life of idyll, and potential.

24

But humanity will breed prodigiously and in just a few generations nature will again come

under pressure. And regardless of immortality, man's life is long, his memory short: and

fear and hunger lurk closest to the surface in those least enlightened: who will, always,

manipulate such passions in others for personal and proximate gratification and dominion.

And most assuredly, even within the Garden, given time, these reptiles, these Truth

pedlars, armed with their gold and lies, will once again insinuate, frighten and buy their way

back into power. The 'Law of Nature' they will call it: assuredly so, to the most primitive of

reptiles: but, humanity has discovered beyond such immediacy and superfluity: and armed

with empowerment and awareness, and the most salutary of lessons, must now forge a

stronger Truth. A stronger Truth, founded in harmony, impervious to lies and opening a

gateway towards humanity's true potential.

25

New World Order

The value of gold as an exchange mechanism suits no one, barring its owners and those in

pursuit of power and status. Governments, bankers and the like cite gold as their preferred

exchange mechanism because of its rarity, therefore controllability, monopolisation and

manipulation, and its resistance to time, because it does not tarnish or decay: permanent

wealth, to be hoarded and handed through dynasties: though even mountains erode.

Accepted, today we have digital or virtual money as currencies and commodities float on

conceptual representation of value, but nevertheless, the foundation is indisputable, as is

the flight to gold whenever instability threatens. And, because gold is finite and its value

arbitrary (virtually worthless for practical use) said value can be anything the owners agree

to, no matter how selfish or ludicrous. This renders gold as ideally suited for both manufac-

turing wealth and concentrating power (see Appendix A).

This is a cornerstone of our current world order. They have two other cornerstones: owner-

ship and the law (judgement/authority/hierarchy) cemented as Truth: as their image of

God.

These three concepts, fed to us since birth, through generations, for two and a half millen-

nia, sit as unquestioned facts in the minds of almost all. Yet, these 'facts' beyond conven-

tion and indoctrination, are, in reality, no more than opinion: and, given the tenets of our

established faiths, dubious in the extreme.

Moreover, what is crystal clear, even with superficial examination, is that said cornerstones

concentrate wealth and power, not dissipate them: and, that all require an intermediary, an

authority, middlemen, to dictate validity and value.

*

26

So, lets imagine a world stood on its head. Yes, systems, as a theoretical concept, but

more akin to understandings, enacted through humanity as obvious Truths, common to the

well-being of all. Undermining the 'reptile': the pre-social brain, that thinks only in terms of

self and supremacy.

LawEverything stems from the law: predicated on notions of right and wrong: judgement,

dictated by some form of conceptual authority, generally church and/or state. However, this

is far from the admonition of our prophets, who, using Jesus as an example, argued

against any form of judgement:

“cast not the first stone” – “remove the beam from your own eye” – “turn the other cheek” –

“love thine enemies”... a repetitive message, consistent with love for all creation. No judge-

ment, excepting of one's own being.

The judges: “liars and hypocrites”, “wolves in sheep's clothing”, tell us man is inherently

greedy and violent and cannot escape his nature, and that without their order, there would

be 'anarchy': which they conceptualise as violence and mayhem. [We must note however,

regardless of what they predict: without their order, the organised, systematic slaughter

and enslavement enacted under religion, nationalism, imperialism, fascism... would be

impossible.]

Yes, accepted, given the behaviour of civilised man, that is indeed how it appears. But we

observe man refashioned a thousand times, driven and tormented by all manner of preju-

dice and illusion: far from man in nature, who, for the most part, finds satisfaction and

security in a full belly and a roof. Here pleasures are simple and tangible, understandable

beyond image and added value.

Nevertheless, given the operational programming enacted through history, we must recog-

nise civilised man is incapable of living in harmony with nature, the 'other' without some

understandings, and some practices and guidelines to dissipate power, engender harmony

and circumvent and discourage the reptile from seizing control.

Theoretical Law

Love Life.

27

Our singularity: one simple Truth with which only the disturbed can disagree. Any further

principle can serve only to confuse and dilute, distracting one from Truth. Love Life: all

creation, oneself included.

This is our conceptual platform.

Further,

one is never in a position to judge another: one can never hold enough wisdom, under-

standing, knowledge to fully comprehend any individual or situation: except in considering

one's personal being.

One's own being, for which all take personal responsibility. One can never surrender

responsibility for being to another. This is a world without slaves.

Practical Law

I can never surrender responsibility for being to another.

However in functioning society decisions are required upon matters beyond the personal:

for future times and holistic well-being. Matters of gravity and complexity, holding respons-

ibility and consequence: for which not all hold equal talent, enthusiasm, or motivation for

deciphering and resolving.

I cannot say precisely what can and cannot be: rules become weights, and attachments in

themselves. Rules beget rigidity and intolerance. Rules are broken.

But here are considerations for any balanced, functional system from which we wish to

exclude the reptile:

People potentially lie: cheat. People abuse power. People pursue self interest,

Democracy is bunk (see Appendix B). People are foolish and misguided beyond description.

In practice we require great wisdom and personal responsibility, without undue demands.

In youth one has a grand ego, competitive nature, and much to learn.

Through time the natural ego becomes tempered by experience, lessons of life, and a more

accurate perspective on one's true insignificance (and significance) within timeless univer-

sal rhythm. In age, to the wise, materialism and status become trivial and fleeting, diluted

28

by detachment and finding true value in this moment: foundational for dispassionate loving

reflection upon life. Such are prerequisites for consideration of matters beyond the

personal.

Reason dictates, anyone professing knowledge on how best to act, and to run, shape,

house, feed... family/community/society/humanity should be last to receive the benefits.

For it is only once all others have been fed and housed (and comforted) that the supposed

wise can be said to have achieved social validation, thereby earning their own food and

housing. Mimicking the ancient perspective on slicing the cake: the individual slicing being

the last to receive a share. [Not, as is current, where those slicing first take their share,

then hand generous portions to their friends and financiers, leaving crumbs for the vast

remainder (those who made the cake).]

In effect, as dependant upon others, powerless beyond the love they enable and starving

beyond the fruits they engender. For, I have taken back my power, regained true freedom,

and will live by my own wits, stand by my own judgement, and take responsibility thereof.

And only if convinced by greater wisdom will I participate and partake.

Material wealth and status are far from the mind of any individual called upon in our New

World Order: their pleasure is in understanding and existence, and love for all.

Such individuals need neither castles or armies. They need only good will and understand-

ing, and a utilitarian environment, without distraction, in which to contemplate and deliber-

ate. They hold no power to raise money or impose order: only social validation within the

people who choose to act on their advice. To demonstrate continued humility, love for all

creation and commitment to our founding principles, washing feet is ideal practice, dissolv-

ing barriers and catalysing debate in intimacy, not antagonism.

WASH

A check list for any potential administer: Wisdom, Asceticism, Sacrifice, Humility.

Wisdom: from age, life experience, and journeys far and wide. Wisdom: from contemplation

and reflection and love for all creation.

Asceticism: simplicity.

Sacrifice: without attachments. Attachments always, without exception, cloud perspective.

29

Humility: equality, without judgement: Harmony.

This is no role undertaken lightly or until thoroughly intimate with life. One has moved

beyond the illusions of material wealth and status, past the passions of youth and the prox-

imate interests of rearing offspring. Past attachments, and past fear: for, “Perfect Love

casts out fear”.

And, always, they must be asked: self promotion is impossible, it does not WASH.

To find exception, consider the very young: those without masks, without egos to protect,

with greatest innocence, widest eyes, and most challenging questions.

OwnershipPersonal Ownership

I can never surrender responsibility for being to another.

Word and deed remain my sole property.

Behaviour is discourse with creation, creating my being: to be owned.

Freedom of speech is a lie. All words come with weight attached, and are tied to the issuer.

Say what you will, but say it naked before the slighted – there is no place for cowardice in a

world of free men.

So, also, there is no place for secrets. In a world of free men there is nothing to hide.

Beyond personal ownership, all else is relationship: evolving in harmony, not dominion.

Projected Ownership

We cannot own our host. Beyond the personal, ownership is a flawed concept. In reality,

one is forever reliant, subservient and at its mercy. One is either in harmony, as all else in

nature, or one is in conflict: a battle, master and slave, with land to be claimed, controlled,

protected, resourced: owned. But, one has to stand back only for a moment to observe the

absurdity of projected ownership. Can a bacterium can claim ownership of a mouth or stom-

ach, or an eye mite ownership of an eyelid, or eyelash?

30

Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued the first man to stake out a piece of the earth and claim

ownership was an impostor. True enough, but the trick of ownership has travelled far since

then: through nationalism and imperialism to 'intellectual property' – patent and copyright.

The opinion that it is right to hide, protect and control ideas and imagination, rather than

see the products thereof shared and spread and evolve naturally. Once, imitation was

considered the highest form of flattery, under our current world order, it will land you in

prison.

Yet, if we have learnt one thing as a species, it is surely this: that no man ever achieved

anything of significance (beyond personal) as an individual: every prince needs soldiers,

every soldier needs weapons. Even the artist needs nature and the farmer, the canvas

weaver, the lumberjack, the brushmaker... – dozens, perhaps hundreds of skills, trades:

without considering shelter, sustenance... Sure, the final brush stroke is theirs, but without

cooperation, it would be sticks in the sand.

The truly great artist or scientist once had no care for copyright and patent (their expanding

ego was quite sufficient), and, to be sure, if such tricks had existed at the birth of human-

ity, we would have progressed no further than the wheel, or fire. But it is not the artist or

scientist (unless seduced by greed) who demand such 'rights'. 'Rights' are demanded by

the middlemen, merchants: those who create nothing, but would see the world owned:

excepting word and deed.

None of this is to say genuine labour does not entitle one to the produce. Indeed, Truth is

the opposite. Here, one's labour is one hundred percent owned, and one knows its true

value. But, no individual or community can claim more than it can care for, and therefore,

wealth remains real and tangible. Further, liberating imagination generates diffusion and

evolution unbounded by protection and control: propagating genuine growth and diversity,

to spread through communities and cultures as ideas are shared and shaped.

Openness, harmony, balance, and ownership of being: consistent with all spiritual teach-

ings through the ages of man. Only the reptile will argue otherwise.

MoneyI can never surrender responsibility for being to another.

What I do, what I produce, what I engender are my exchange mechanism: my currency.

31

Theoretical Money

In a truly harmonious world, trust and understanding suffice as currency beyond the

personal. However, given that humanity is some distance from harmony, for the interim...

Hierarchy has been swept away, and with it/them their tricks of law, ownership, and

money. So how do normal people conduct their day-to-day activities: exchanging goods and

services?

By finding value in the real world. A common sense of value: something all recognise. A

commodity whose value is inherent, not conceptual, so we immediately know its worth in

relation to our own goods and services: without arbitrary value imposed from above.

Further, it is renewable and degradable so fluctuates with economies, cannot be held to

ransom, and is subject to time. And, ideally, its value lasts through and beyond the

seasons: so depreciation is gradual.

But, depreciation nevertheless, so hoarding beyond the pragmatic is without purpose: and,

inflation and capital interest are conceptually impossible.

Genuine value, tied to nature and time: a reciprocal, natural, common-sense practice,

which lives in harmony with the seasons and expands and contracts as situations present

themselves. Wealth is transient, fluid, not fixed and accumulating.

This practice diffuses wealth, dissipating power to communities and individuals, returning

value to its roots, the earth, its produce and honest activity: from where all material, mech-

anical and spiritual value stem. Inherent harmony and balance whose genuine value is truly

understood by all (see Appendix A).

Wealth circulates, not concentrates. No banks, no accountants, no financial services, and

no debt: beyond our 'promise to pay'. [Remembering, that is all the Bank of England issue.

And their promise, to pay a pound (almost half a kilo) of sterling, silver, has long since

been reneged upon. Today a pound of sterling won't buy a Starbucks coffee, and a UK

dwelling, or garage, is worth many times its own weight in silver.]

As debt decreases through time, for no debt can outlive its reason, so too, potentially,

does the value of our promise, our bond: if, there is no understanding to be found. The

quality of promise (and produce) therefore, directly determines its value. Knowledge thereof

naturally diffusing, through open, functioning society. Not in judgement, for it is no one's

32

position to judge another, but as information, in awareness, to enhance the understanding

of all.

Practical money

Personal, Local, Global.

Personal: I am my currency: my relationship with creation, and my word.

Local: a common sense of value, recognised by trading parties: soy, sugar, salt, corn,

cotton, coconut... It need not be fixed or unique: just understood.

Global: ideally, a crop that is rugged, has a short growing cycle, will flourish across terrain

and climate and is not taxing on soil or environment: with assorted uses. Food, cloth, shel-

ter, fuel (and wisdom) holding greatest value, thereby naturally embedding said value in our

understanding and easily enabling local conversion, should the two crops not be as one.

Simplicity itself: without an intermediary calculating value against something effectively

worthless, timeless, and already 'owned': disempowering all others.

And, knowing what we do, how we act, what we promise is our currency, inspires commit-

ment towards enhancing its genuine value. Money is our self interest, bonded now, ulti-

mately with nature, and our nature, enabling us to engage a harmonic and holistic way of

being.

An exchange mechanism to serve the whole world, not just those who claim it as their own.

Founded in harmony, forgiveness and Truth: harmony with nature, forgiveness of debt and

as our gateway to Truth.

*

Imagine, then, the reptile arrives, weighed down with a useless yellow metal (useless for

everything but baubles and trinkets) which, according to his word, is worth many times the

weight of all our useful crops and products, and time: which he completely fails to demon-

strate. I ask you: who, in their right mind, would ever entertain the silken tongued lies of

this trickster?

In our harmonious world, these creatures are rare and isolated. Naked before our New

33

World Order: exposed, as liars and hypocrites, cheats. No match for the liberated, no

match for the aware.

Gold, far from locked up and guarded, pawed over in darkness by salivating merchants,

sparkles in sunlight and starlight: gracing humankind's tributes and offerings to the glory of

Truth, and the wonder of being.

New World OrderI am my currency. I own my being. I am judge to no one but my self.

Our world, free of rules and restrictions, ownership, beyond personal, where we employ

evaluation and understanding, and take responsibility (with acceptance) for the fruits and

lessons thereof. Work is an anathema, it has no validity in nature: there is only being and

cooperation, and produce.

Life is not served on a plate, in ignorance, but to be engaged in, experienced, with all

senses. Nor is life a chore, to be laboured over in perpetuity: life is a journey, a dance, an

art-form: a personal creation, for no other to judge. A world without slaves, where we own

our being and our self interest exists in harmony, inseparable from the whole.

A few notes on harmony and evolution

Harmony and evolution: well-being and learning, are the foundations of a healthy, function-

ing, evolving society. Core to family, core to community, and core to humanity. And essen-

tial for balanced, harmonic, self empowered individuals. Central: not budget deficits, busi-

ness initiatives or targets and statistics: nor, ever, in hands outside its sphere.

In healthy functioning society most dwellings were built long since, and sustenance, manu-

facture, communication... are efficient, harmonious and serve humanity: not, power and

profit. So there is time and space for all things, for discovery and mastery, honing skills,

developing talents, contemplating creation, loving life... and furthering family.

Children are our tomorrow. Conceived in love they are nourished with love: and understand-

ing, without judgement, as their personal journeys unfold.

Children learn when they are ready. Their most valuable lessons are through interaction

and adventure: discovery, for themselves, in the real world.

34

All children hold individual interests, capacities, time-scales and methods for digesting

information. Education (from 'educe', meaning, “to bring out”) fits to the child, not the child

to 'education': and is always primarily overseen by initiate, family, community, society.

All teaching is perspectives on fragments: delivered by fragments, with perspectives. This

cannot be avoided. But it must always be recognised, everyone knows practically nothing of

what they are discussing: everything is best guess, based upon attachments. So always

the individual must seek personal validation, understanding, through nature and experi-

ence, and an evolving vision of both the whole and their being. The Truth of their being.

and language

I am my being: it and its actions are mine and mine alone, to own. My discourse with

creation: my Truth of being. Language is behaviour: speech is but a fraction and approxima-

tion, and most easily adulterated and manipulated to service the reptile. Speech has its

place, but, always, must be ingested in context: the proximate interests of the orator or

interpreter: their discourse with Truth.

*

We have no need of princes, popes or presidents to dictate behaviour: they, invariably,

demonstrate the antithesis. We have no need of hierarchy: hierarchy undermines harmony,

and balance, and encourages the weak and ignorant to surrender responsibility.

Humanity is empowered, beyond the “liars and hypocrites”, to found a new path: towards

our true potential, as individuals, as a species, harmonised with creation. Beyond 'suckers

and cheats': recognising that we are all suckers and all cheats. But, in that recognition,

discovering our ultimate self interest is inseparable from the whole and the well-being of all

creation. Human Beings, harmonised: who, through awareness and empowerment, can now

flourish in diversity: as masters of the pre-social, unconscious drives of the reptile,

Our New World Order: seeded in freedom, and germinated, nourished, tended with the

founding singularity of our prophets:

Appendix A

Phoney Money : Funny Munny-

gold versus hemp

Characteristics of Gold

1. Fixed in quantity

2. Extremely rare

3. Completely owned, controlled

4. Timeless

5. Practically worthless – conceptual value only

Characteristics of Hemp

1. Grow as much as required

2. Abundant across climate and terrain

3. Uncontrollable

4. Degradable and rejuvenating

5. Inherent value – food, fibre, fuel, pharmaceuticals, plastic, paper...

Round 1.

Fixed in quantity, gold can neither expand or contract to represent goods, services, or

resources. A population of seven million or seven billion, the amount of gold is the same,

whilst its averaged measure is divided by one thousand.

Hemp is a weed. Grow it anywhere, whenever the need.

Round 2.

Gold is extraordinarily rare. All the gold ever mined would struggle to fill two Olympic sized

swimming pools.

Hemp is a weed, from temperate to tropic.

Round 3.

The world's gold is entirely owned, completely controlled. It never sees the light of day, but

is hidden in vaults by select elites who dictate its relative value: together with their market.

36

Hemp is a weed, pick it from the roadside.

Round 4.

Gold is timeless, it does not tarnish or decay. It lasts for ever. Stashed away, accumulating

relative value: firstly against resources, goods and services, but more so, against money:

from which gold was almost unnoticeably detached some decades past. 'Inflation' it is

named, however, in essence that translates to: money's inexorable depreciation, relative to

the real world: land, produce, labour, and of course, gold. Gold's inflating value is matched

only by land (and oil, temporarily) in terms of relative worth: firstly, relative to population,

resources, technology, expansion... as a percentage measure, and what can be wrung from

it, However, by far the greatest accelerators for the relative value of gold, are instability and

insecurity. Indeed, in these turbulent times it seems there is no limit to the extraordinary

value placed upon this practically useless soft yellow metal.

Hemp is a weed, it has its season, it degrades and rejuvenates, as all other life forms.

Hoarding beyond the practical and pragmatic hold no logic.

Round 5.

Gold is practically worthless. Baubles and trinkets, and as a conductor: most notably for

conducting genuine wealth from the naïve to the wicked. Gold's very existence is predic-

ated on exchanging material and conceptual capital: valued by a third party. For gold to

hold value there must be an authority to dictate said value.

Hemp is a weed, with a short growth cycle.

Hemp seeds are ten a penny... a thousand a penny: almost, almost too insignificant to

hold a value. Yet, they are favoured food of birds and fish, and although dismissed by gast-

ronomes, hemp seed (manna from Shiva) is the most nutritionally complete food on earth

(see Appendix C).

The material value of hemp is not however in its nutritious and ubiquitous seed, almost

valueless: free to all, to feed the world. But in tending and processing, giving time and

attention to the product thereof: bud, fibre, hurds, resin, cloth, paper, oil... (see Appendix

D). A pound of which is readily assimilated into the thinking of any trader, without a value

dictated from above. Value is inherent and understood, irrevocably fixed to produce and

product; eliminating the very notion of inflation.

37

Hard currency can be extracted and pressed from the buds of the female plant. Oil and

resin: most highly prized medicinally and spiritually, serve as extremely concentrated value.

Coinage, that is readily testable by any trader or vendor.

Time bound (in years, for seed and medicine, and (potentially) generations for cloth, board,

plastic, paper...) hemp's value is generational, not geological, so cannot be sat upon,

hidden (buried under rocks, whilst its 'talents' inexorably, magically rise through eternity)

but must be tended, repaired, renewed, developed as a continual and natural process.

Wealth is not hidden, fixed and accumulating, through dynasties, but is the fruit of being.

And, as such, hand in hand with genuine value, eliminating inflation, comes depreciation:

destroying the anathema of interest on capital.

An exchange mechanism to serve the whole world, not just those who claim it as their own.

Founded in harmony, forgiveness and Truth: harmony with nature, forgiveness of debt and

as our gateway to Truth.

*

So, for the reptile, disempowered through understanding, awareness and an honest, trans-

parent exchange mechanism, there is no hiding place. The illusion of their gold is punc-

tured, pop.

If they cannot adapt, leave them to their parasite riddled extinction: cold and isolated,

huddled in darkness: surrounded by their useless yellow metal.

Democracy is Bunk

Democracy is bunk: humanity is just too dumb, I am just too dumb. I acknowledge here and

now, the complexities of geopolitics, global finance, or whatever are insurmountable by my

feeble intellect: I am not alone. And I have not a clue as to which sharp suited, sweet smil-

ing purveyor of hype is the most honest or wise. All votes are no more than guesses, based

upon attachments. Attachment to ego, status, power, wealth, security... or whatever

presses one's me button.

Democracy is bunk: all decisions and perspectives are chained to the proximate. Short-

termism: be it term of office, financial gain, obliteration of alternatives, feel-good factor... It

is impossible to think dispassionately upon generational ideals and holistic perspectives

when considering re-election every four or five years, and the social and financial benefits

demanded for said re-election. Ascribing, in effect, greatest wisdom to the greatest mass:

idiocy.

Democracy is bunk: It ascribes equal ethic and insight to all, no matter their age, proclivit-

ies, motivation, wisdom... Democracy is blind, democracy is indiscriminate.

Democracy is bunk: it is a cop-out: marking one's cross and surrendering responsibility for

being to another. To play by their rules.

Democracy is bunk: it enables factions, sides: parties. Us and them, in and out, tribalism,

and, consequently, facile and simplistic generalisations, composites which entirety match

to no one: yet propagate and nurture prejudice and identity.

And, democracy is bunk: for those it puts in charge are the same liars and hypocrites,

wolves in sheep's clothing, who have oppressed humankind since the birth of structured

society. Worse, because democracy is indiscriminate, it is open to every ruthless, power

hungry egotist who can lie and cheat and steal their way past the other egotists.

And, the judge: a mass fed on hunger and fear, dissatisfaction and insecurity, want and

39

hate, and delusion.

Further, all are bound by global and financial diktats, above and beyond any form of demo-

cracy: whose rules are not considered for negotiation. Changing government changes the

wallpaper, but the money-changers have long since acquired the temple.

“Allow me the means to make a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws.”

Appendix C

A History of HempThe most dangerous substance in the universe

Lord Shiva, humanity's oldest continually worshipped deity, lord of dance and plants and

champion of the oppressed, brought cannabis down from the mountain for the delight and

enlightenment of us all.

The Chinese, already using hempen fishing nets and garbed in hempen cloth (humanity's

first fabric), recognised cannabis hemp as their earliest medicine, and a millennium or so

later as the perfect material for paper making.

The Buddha was nourished on his six year journey towards enlightenment with just one

Hemp seed a day.

[Conjecture: In what became known as Mesopotamia, where male dominated hierarchical

society evolved, and women were condemned to serve, disseminators of Truth were not

enamoured with this extraordinary two sexed plant: knowledge and life, male and female.

And although they will tolerate the male, knowledge, for cloth and cord, the female, life,

was shunned eastward, for all but reproduction.]

So history continued, western man discovered alcohol, rotting fruit, for intoxication, and

hemp was restricted to clothing, rope, sail etc. And, in time, oil and paper.

Come the thirteenth century, as knowledge of cannabis hemp's medicinal and spiritual

effects were becoming increasingly known, Pope Innocent VIII associated cannabis with the

devil and forbade all intoxicants bar alcohol: under pain of torture and death. So, through

fear, herbalism declined and died and knowledge of cannabis for medication and enlighten-

ment passed from public memory.

Yet, with hemp, just two centuries later, Europeanism set about conquering the world. For

such a feat would have been impossible without hempen sail and rigging, oakum and cloth-

ing: where, in Africa and the East, Europeans rediscovered the medicinal and spiritual prop-

erties of cannabis. And with the Roman Church's monopoly on Truth fragmenting come the

41

sixteenth century, cannabis now became a central component in medicine, and favoured

inspiration for many of our seminal writers and poets: William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo,

Lord Byron, Alexander Dumas, Arthur Conan-Doyle, John Keats, Mary Shelley, Louisa May

Alcott, Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll...

An association across race, time and continents to the early twentieth century blues and

jazz musicians and innovators emerging from slavery in the US: ... Cab Calloway, Louis

Armstrong, Duke Ellington ... who, together with cannabis, were set to become the targets

of white supremacists in their quest for world domination.

For sure, cannabis hemp was indispensable to humanity: our primary crop over ten millen-

nia, but technology moves on and substitutes appeared: weaker, of poorer quality, but

produced on grand scales through industrialisation, by companies eager to expand and

control. For which cannabis hemp was unsuitable, growing as it does as a weed and more

suited to self sufficiency and local processing. And worse, being a plant, beyond patent,

therefore outside business control.

Worse still for big business, as technology finally turned its attention towards cannabis

hemp, it promised even greater diversity, strength, production and access for the common

man. A wholly unpalatable prospect for corporate interests like Dupont, Hurst Newspapers,

Big Cotton... with positions to protect, profits to be made and now intrinsically linked and

intermarried with government and law enforcement.

So began a propaganda campaign, to associate cannabis (aka marijuana) with violence and

madness, and blacks and Latinos. 'Reefer Madness', 'Assassin of Youth' and countless

fabricated horror stories flooded the popular media. Without foundation but to an ignorant

public, and more importantly, ignorant politicians, most of whom were unaware marijuana

was cannabis, cannabis hemp now became a menace that must be eradicated.

Cannabis hemp was effectively outlawed through a tax act in 1937, and although it briefly

had its praises sung once again in the early '40s, as no other crop could support the US

war effort – when the Ministry of Agriculture produced the famed 'Hemp for Victory' (know-

ledge of which the government attempted to wipe from existence) – once the war was over

hemp was again demonised. Only this time, because of Cold War paranoia, for precisely

the opposite reason: cannabis did not make people violent: it made them pacifists! and

therefore, as a consequence, less likely to participate in imperialist wars.

42

So henceforth cannabis hemp would disappear from history and corporate interests would

fill the vacuum, alcohol would be promoted as authority's drug of choice and war could

continue unabated.

However, come the '60s, as black musicians and their music found increasing acceptance

and bands like the Beatles and Stones ventured beyond the white middle classes for inspir-

ation, western youth culture discovered for itself the delights and insights of cannabis.

And still further, disillusioned soldiers returning from Vietnam also brought home cannabis,

together with questions for which their government had no legitimate answers: only viol-

ence and repression.

It was in this environment that Tricky Dickey, aka President Nixon, believing it was the pot

smokers who were hampering his war games, commissioned a study into the health effects

of cannabis, determined to find an excuse to ban cannabis outright: thus enabling him to

crush antiwar protests.

The Shafer report gave cannabis a clean bill of health, citing many of its positive qualities,

so Dickey ditched the report and used Vietnam and the Cold War to criminalise users

anyway.

Under Reagan the ban became rigorously enforced. He had a particular dislike for kids who

“read books, smoked marijuana and talked”, seeing them, one assumes, as somehow a

threat to his established order, and the orders of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama...

Yet, test after test and study after study have been commissioned on the health effects of

cannabis, by governments and institutions worldwide and none have found anything signific-

antly harmful. Indeed, what has become clear, although you will never hear it from the

popular press, is how benign and beneficial cannabis is: in 10,000 years there is not one

reported death due to cannabis use alone (compare that to the three million who die annu-

ally from tobacco smoking, or the hundreds of thousands who die annually from prescrip-

tion drugs), and “one of the safest and most therapeutically active substances known to

man”, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency's own law judge.

The only exception being to children, whose brain development may possibly be influenced

by excessive use of cannabis at a young age: until approximately fifteen.

43

This, in any rational, humane society, would lead to production monitoring, regulation and

licensing, so cannabis was not available to children, potentially contaminated, or bred in

secret, artificially, solely for the high. Instead, because of government policy, we have a

black market, where dealers sell cannabis of unknown origin, potency or content to anyone,

provided they have the cash: and in the process, offer them access to heroin, coke, crystal

meth...

This is government undermining the health, welfare and future of our progeny, undermining

our trust, and consequentially undermining their very reason for existence.

Why? Given the Cold War is now a memory, what makes cannabis hemp so absolutely,

terribly dangerous that Truth must be purged from history and our children, our future, are

but a minor sacrifice?

The Trillion Dollar Crop

As previously mentioned, as technology caught up with hemp, a world of new potential

materialised. In 1938 'Popular Mechanics' prepared an article on Hemp called 'The Billion

Dollar Crop', in which they stated hemp fibres could be converted into 5,000 products

ranging from rope to lace and the remaining woody 'hurds' containing 70% cellulose,

converted into 25,000 products ranging from dynamite to cellophane.

This however was four score years ago. Technology has moved on, as has inflation. To a

point where it would not unreasonable to see cannabis hemp as a Trillion Dollar crop.

To give the briefest glimpse of hemp's potential:

Fabric of any quality and consistency, from coarsest sackcloth to finest silk, without the

need for pesticides or fertilisers, or, genetic modification: with twice the yield per acre of

cotton, and at least three times its strength, absorbency, warmth and longevity.

Plastics of every kind, from earplugs to aeroplanes, packaging to body parts: biodegrad-

able, without poisonous by-products, toxic fumes or excess CO2.

Finest bond paper that does not yellow or disintegrate through time, card and board,

stronger and more enduring than wood pulp alternatives, renewable, sustainable: at five

times the yield per acre of forest, and without producing acid rain.

44

For construction: hemp is ideal for fireproof insulation, and board made from hemp fibre

has several times the tensile strength of wood-chip and can be fireproofed and weather

proofed for walls and roofs. And, in time, given cannabis hemp's extraordinary strength to

weight ratio, likely an ideal material for bridges and skyscrapers.

For fuel: cannabis hemp produces more net biomass than any other plant on earth. With

small adjustments in processing it can produce, ethanol, charcoal, tar, creosote... and has

the potential to replace all fossil fuels: without pollution, as it does not require poisonous

processing chemicals, or produce excess CO2.

For food: hemp seed is the most nutritionally complete food on earth. Second only to soy in

the plant kingdom as a protein source, but much higher for essential fatty acids, including

Omega 3 and 6 oils and vitamins A and E, both powerful antioxidants: and, without genetic

modification, pesticides or fertilisers.

And medicine, for literally thousands of ailments and diseases: from cancer to glaucoma,

MS to depression, obesity to AIDS... the list appears endless, with the likelihood of over-

dose: Zero.

Cannabis hemp is also an excellent base for cosmetics, cleaning products, paints,

varnish...

Plus, cannabis hemp works in harmony with the environment, grows just about everywhere,

without fertilisers or pesticides, is renewable, sustainable, and with its long tap root, ideal

for ground reparation.

All this from a plant anyone can grow in their garden! – sound too good to be true?

The Most Dangerous Substance in the Universe

As history is my witness, even without twentieth century technology, cannabis hemp has

been interwoven with our evolution:

From the spiritual gift of Shiva, the god Indra's favourite drink and nectar of the gods in

Vedic symbolism and tradition, cannabis hemp spread across culture and continent as our

first and primary fibre, be it for clothing, fishing, bow strings, cordage... and as medicine,

acknowledged since before the written word across Asia, and, come the twentieth century

an ingredient in 50% of all medicines.

45

Established as the best and most durable material for paper by the Chinese millennia past,

and a jealously guarded secret, that did not find its way to Europe until the eighth century:

upon which, by the light of hemp oil lamps, monks and scholars produced our most endur-

ing texts.

Artists painted with hemp oil paints on hemp canvas (canvas finding its entomological root

in cannabis), and hempen rope and sail powered and steered Europe's mighty galleons as

they set sail to conquer the earth.

In the Americas, settlers set off to conquer the continent in canvas covered wagons and

homesteads invariably cultivated a hemp patch. The original Levi jeans were made from

hempen sailcloth, riveted, tough enough for the 49ers to load their pockets with gold.

Hemp could hardly be more central to US culture. For, together with its hempen flag, the

declaration itself was drafted on hemp paper, the 'Bill of Rights' was written on it, and

president after president sung hemp's praises:

George Washington: “Make the most of Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!”

Thomas Jefferson: “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of our country.”

Abraham Lincoln: “Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of

sweet hemp and playing my Honer [harmonica].”

John Adams: “We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our consumption.”

Sentiments continuing into the Twentieth Century where Henry Ford, the great industrialist,

asked: “Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making or the mines which

required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in

the annual growth of the hemp fields?”

And finally, delving further into hidden history, one other use for this remarkable little weed.

As settlers – Europe's poverty stricken oppressed – began their quest for independence, to

undermine British sterling, hemp became recognised as an alternative currency for trade

and taxation: a currency all could find value in. Indeed, hemp was still used to pay taxes

long after Limey had been vanquished from the 'New World'.

46

A practice continued to this day by Buddhist monks: trading 'Nepalese Temple Balls' as

their currency with the outside world.

Plastic, paper, pharmaceuticals, fuel, food, fabric, finance, soil enhancer, pollution

devourer, spiritual benefactor: cannabis hemp is a complete companion, and the answer to

a prayer for our desperately beleaguered and polarised world. Cannabis hemp, together

with its multitudinous material uses, also engenders balance and harmony, through its

catalysing effects towards spirituality: and returning value to nature, where, in reality, it

belongs.

*

But, the more one owns: property, status, ego, power..., the less one finds a taste or use

for cannabis hemp. Silk for nobles, canvas for peasants, meat for the elite, gruel (originally

hemp seed) for the surf, alcohol for society, grass for the outcast, materialism for the

wealthy, spirituality for the poor.

So through history, it was ever thus: hemp had its place, service, for the job at hand: func-

tional, reliable, adaptable, and cheap – and everywhere. Shiva's gift to the wretched:

sustenance, shelter and spirituality.

Until now, where nature is outlawed. Outlawed, not for its danger to humanity, far from it,

cannabis hemp could catalyse our saviour: but to the power hungry egotists who would own

our world – and others besides.

Cannabis hemp comes head-to-head with all of our world's most powerful corporations: oil,

big pharma, big cotton, lumber, seeds and genetic modification, alcohol and tobacco, and

the war machine. Furthermore, what government, after decades of dishonest and ill

conceived laws that have destroyed the lives of millions (with law enforcement and private

prisons now as powerful lobbying groups in their own right), could ever dare recognise their

woeful error and duplicitous complicity in the persecution and attempted annihilation of

God's greatest gift to humanity?

So we are left with a world of poisonous chemical, genetically modified unnatural alternat-

ives, dictated and dispensed by a handful of merchants and their whores defining our world

order, who see power and wealth and expansion as primary objectives in themselves. A

47

world without balance or harmony, driven by materialism and insecurity, where all must

remain hungry and all must remain fearful, forever: as fuel, for the insatiable engine of

capitalism.

To governments and corporations, and bankers: Cannabis Hemp is indeed, the most

dangerous substance in the universe.

A Personal Perspective:

It is easy to become trapped in the brutality and injustices of our polarised, intolerant

world, or overwhelmed by the sensory images that bombard us 24/7, together with the

fragmented sound bites fed to us as Truth. A chaotic mass of apparently unrelated data,

seemingly incoherent and disparate, yet nevertheless, designed to shape the thought and

motivation of populations: hungry, fearful, clueless populations.

Cannabis engenders dispassionate reflection and harmony with all. It diffuses blame with

understanding, prompting us to stand back and consider the bigger picture, to take a

holistic perspective: beyond the establishment narrative. Beyond little stories in boxes,

couched in terms of 'good and evil', that invariably hide strategic and economic motivation

and racial and religious bigotry, and consequences beyond the pocket story. In today's

world, even to suggest such connections, brands one a psychotic, criminal, terrorist or

some other such label, packaging the non-conformer as at odds with establishment order

and establishment thinking.

And this, to me, is where the true danger (and beauty) of cannabis lies: in smashing illu-

sions, opening doors of perception – beyond the personal and possessive, beyond the

immediate and simplistic, beyond the agenda driven bullshit defining parameters and

perspectives – as a gateway to nature and the now, to being, and as the progenitor of

question and a catalyst to wonder.

Our tree of life, real life: imbuing holism and harmony, reflection and understanding, peace,

and love. So, to those who would command, who would see our world owned and who

would live off hate and the toil of others, Shiva's seminal offering truly is: the most danger-

ous substance in our universe.

* Hobbes (and Kant (and most 'Enlightenment' philosophers)) would have us believe man is naturally violent and nature naturally hostile. However, if life in nature was so terrifying and hazardous, how come we spread so far? How come we are so dominant? How come we are not extinct?

Was not nature a push-over, a doddle, once we had mastered fire?

Really, the evidence is plain to see (well it was until a couple of centuries past). The European 'Enlightenment' crushed it where 'ere it trod: Africa, the Americas, Australasia. Humanity in harmony with its environment: still in their Garden of Eden. Not the stressed out, indebted, depressed, ever hungry, ever fearful, psychotic wrecks – drinking, gambling, whoring: driven by all manner of delusion, who validate 'Enlightened' society.
