iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 29th December 2019 ‘THE FORK IN THE ROAD’ “Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap….There are times when a whole generation is caught in this way between two ages, two modes of life, with the consequence that it loses all power to understand itself and has no standard, no security, no simple acquiescence.” – Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf There can be no denying – the events currently taking place, globally – are truly historic. The very qualities that make humans, human – are slowly being eroded and challenged – i.e. compassion, empathy, kindness etc – these attributes, which are the glue of social life - attributes which ensure humans can co-exist with each other in a civil society, have also seemingly disappeared. Television, social media and other technological mediums continually challenge, change and distort our perceptions of reality and have further, slowly desensitized and degraded much of human activity - to the extent that a President who runs a country and conducts global diplomacy through tweets is regarded as normal. FANTASY VS REALITY In the article ‘A New Fantasy Links Britain And India’ it discusses UK Prime Minister Mr. Boris Johnson and Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi – and their quest for power and wealth. The article implies that both Prime Ministers are delusional – and not in touch with reality and why? – because, as the article says – “...fantasy has become an ineradicable addiction for many of their citizens – a way of coping with harsh and intransigent reality...” the writer goes on “...this is not only no way for a nation to live. It is a pitiful way to self-destruct.” In a video called ‘HyperNormalisation 2016,’ it shines light on this bizarre predicament, that appears to be showing up in politics - namely, the ‘fairytale world of politics.’ The video describes the moment in politics when a significant ‘power shift’ took place – which resulted in the bankers usurping the power in politics. This is not a new socio-political theme, but the video charts the rise of this phenomena seen through the major global political and economic events of the last forty years or so, through a psychological perspective. It is an unsettling, breath taking, psychological ride, detailing how we got where we are today, the uncertainty, the meaningless of politics today, the distortion of truth/facts/reality itself - the clear and obvious manipulation and control of people through, global mass psychology, by a not so obvious ‘Technocratic elite,’ who if directed, it is unclear, by whom or what. – The narrator states - “Financiers, politicians and technological utopians, rather than face up to the real complexities of the world – retreated. Instead they constructed a simpler version of the world, in order to hang onto power. And as this fake world grew – all of us went along with it, because the simplicity was assuring.” What is this ‘fake world?’ – the veneer of the ‘good life.’ The seeds to the epidemic in-congruence, that grows rampant in society – whereby reality has been displaced with fantasy – and reinforced through technological tools and devices. We can see the effects of this playing out today in Western societies – these ‘fantasy worlds’ – created by members of the power elite – and how it has trickled down, masquerading as reality in the peoples lives. This trickery can only last so long – because as ‘Players and Actors’ on the global stage ‘pretend,’ to be ‘serving the people’ – the ‘real world’ is falling apart - and the ‘suffering’ that the people are experiencing, provides a very ‘real’ contrast, to this ‘pseudo reality.’ As a result of this great deception, the old paradigm begins to fold in on itself – because its structures are brittle – no longer sturdy – which is unsurprising, as after all, it is a ‘fantasy world.’ As Humanity, approaches the ‘fork in the road’ – the choices available are being made visible, for those with eyes to see, through the apparent dualities and paradoxes, manifesting daily. So distinct is this bifurcation or split, becoming, that I believe that it is possible to refer to and see the divisions which are taking place, as being so profound and fundamental, that they can be regarded as having formed two distinctive ‘Time Lines.’ The elements which have heretofore, apparently dominated human existence, will, following an oncoming major global crisis, comprising diverse elements, social, political, economic and military – fall away. These particularly catastrophic events occur because those who control that ‘Time Line’ want it to be so. Race, ethnicity, religion or ideology, following such a crisis, shall become meaningless, not because of sentimentality or wishful thinking on any bodies part, but because of a very fundamental but necessary illusion. – The illusion of Time itself. This is the necessary illusion we all exist in - ‘Time’ and the ‘social and existential time constructs’ we inhabit, not in an ‘irrational’ world - but a ‘perfectly rational world,’ – incomprehensible to ‘pure logic’ alone, but which can be comprehended through, ‘Cycles,’ ‘Patterns,’ and ‘Symbols.’ This understanding can be termed its philosophical/metaphysical or even ‘esoteric aspect,’ - but this ‘split’ does have a very clear scientific and physical aspect to it – a ‘clear physics,’ if you will - whose language and implications, are only now slowly being understood by modern science. This is the science of ‘Alternate Realities,’ ‘Time Lines,’ ‘Portals’ and ‘Time Travel,’ (for related index - click here.) Grasping at what ever s/he can, the language of the modern physists in such fields, can by turn seem, abstruse, counter intuitive, perplexing, baffling – unintelligible - and that is even before, trying to get to grips with the mathematics. One can be tempted to abandon this particular approach entirely and therefore console oneself with ‘science fiction.’ Paradoxically this may offer greater clarity about reality, since this genre of creative thought, is not hamstrung, by physical laws as currently understood, or the turgid often incomprehensible language of the specialist scientists. In this regard, science fiction writers are still – ‘Magicians’ and ‘licensed poets,’ if not always, ‘Seers.’ I therefore comfort myself with the thought – persevere, continue to search – the truth is probably at some mid point – ‘mid-point grey.’ A TALE OF TWO ‘TIME LINES’ In one ‘Time Line’ – inequality reigns - the oppressor and the oppressed live uncomfortably with one another, its over-arching norms are, selfishness, greed and service to self. In the other ‘Time Line,’ each individual is Sovereign – and co-exists with other fellow Sovereign Human Beings, abiding by principles of equality, freedom, justice and service to others. The split is here - and the two ‘Time Lines’ - jostle with each other - side by side, within a manifold of 3D reality. In time, each individual, will get that which they choose - since ultimately, despite appearances, you can only reap what you sow, since that is Law - both ‘scientific’ and ‘Cosmic!’ – How then does one choose, or again, how can one move from one ‘Time Line’ to the other? Simply put, its about – Energy as it is understood on all planes/levels of Existence. There is the energy locked into the bowels of the Earth. There is the energy, in currency/money - gold/energy stored in the bowels of safes and vaults. Similarly, there is the energy stored, in the core of a human heart. It’s all the same. You must simply take this Energy - and deposit it, in your ‘local time line’/ community – that you wish to see – the ‘Time Line,’ you wish to ‘inhabit.’ It is that simple. Max Igans videos constantly return to this theme of ‘self-empowerment,’ in a practical way at all levels (to access Max Igan's videos - click here.) War vs Peace – Chaos vs Order – a self serving society vs a mutually aided society – these are just some of the dualities, which will increasingly, present themselves to people as choices, when one reaches the ‘fork in the road.’ We will all be compelled (some have clearly chosen already,) to choose a ‘Time Line’ – the old ‘time line packages’ - Left, Right, religious and spiritual identities and purely ‘materialistic’ values of meaning and worth have already departed, in a specific ‘Time Line,’ currently existing - and if you want it, you must seek it, find it – then commit your energy to it. THE ‘ENERGY TEST’ & ‘COSMIC POLITICS’ In the article – ‘Trumps holiday menu: handouts for billionaires, hunger for the poor’ – it states “Today, the richest 400 billionaires pay lower taxes than any group in America – including the poor. Nearly 100 of the top Fortune 500 companies now pay nothing in taxes.” Now - Take the ‘Energy Test’ - Assess the above as ‘objectively,’ as you can - and ask yourself – is it right, proper or fair? – then make a choice. If you wish to continue existing in such a ‘Time Line’ - and you continue to consent – then you shall. If not, reject it in your thought. If you consciously make such decisions on all the important things that matter to you and others, you will have taken an important step in a life on a new ‘Time Line’ – since your reality is nothing more than the energy you willingly contribute, to a particular ‘Time Line’ - and the consequences of that contribution plays, out in the moment through a conglomeration of events in your life. It’s that simple – So simple in fact, that all we witness, both the agreeable and disagreeable, rests upon our ‘consent.’ SELF PRESERVATION – WITHOUT RESERVATION Greed is not sustainable because it is insatiable. What happens when all the money has been extracted from the weaker classes? Those ‘classes,’ will be destroyed, or allowed to ‘whither on the vine,’ hence the continuing and blatant inadequate medical care for the poor, globally and – the consequences are - sickness and ill health, shorter life expectancy – instead of an increased life expectancy and an end to suffering, which the technology is able to deliver. There are also the necessary long term solutions – which Humanity collectively will have to determine. Instead, the current model - dominant ‘Time Line’ - is based on the determinations and decisions of the few, who have ascended the heights, which they have attained through the greed which the system extols – and we seriously wonder why the world is in such a mess – why there is such evident, all encompassing chaos and suffering. The beginnings of a solution is simple – change your thought – change your ‘Time Line.’ In the article - Trumps holiday menu: handouts for billionaires, hunger for the poor – it states - “..will we tolerate the insatiable greed and cruelty of the billionaire class, whose control over our political system lets them take food of the mouths of hungry school kids? Or do we build a humane, equitable society that ends poverty, hunger and homelessness – and allows everyone to live with dignity?” Whether or not – a species evolves to its next evolutionary step – is dependent upon how well it is able to preserve itself. It is no use looking to the so-called leadership to preserve us – they have had their chance – their shot at it – and have miserably – and painfully for us - failed. One only has to look at the education, legal and healthcare systems - lack of housing provisions and general social care, of so called, modern, advanced societies, to see that something is wrong. In the UK for example – the legal system – has been hijacked – and no longer dispenses Justice – this is becoming more evident through cases such as the Show Trial of Julian Assange. But away from such high profile cases, ordinary UK citizens have little or no access to legal provision. The healthcare system, with its outdated methods of treatment are driven by profit – not by what cures people (for related video - click here) – the unfortunate reality is, in this current system - “sick people are profit.” These are just a couple of examples. We dare not consider what is going on in prisons, psychiatric wards and orphanges. These vital flaws in the system – are continually being revealed during this technological Age – there is no hiding place anymore, for the lies and deceit. GENERATION TO GENERATION Knowledge and information is passed from generation to generation – from adult to child – by this process, we are taught the mechanisms with which to approach and survive in life. This transaction takes place because of concepts of duty and responsibility, obligations taken by one generation towards the next. Many indigenous people and cultures have kept this way of passing these self preserving aspects of their culture – onto the next generations. However, in Western societies, which have become inter-generationally dislocated/disconnected for a number of reasons - many of these practices have been lost. Parents – you too had and have a responsibility - a mother and father’s ‘time’ – ‘energy’ - and ‘resources,’ are continually being misdirected elsewhere. Where is your energy going? - It is being inputted into a system – what ‘Time Line’ is it being inputted into? If you are unhappy with the schooling provision for example – to which ‘Time Line’ does the school you send your child to belong? The exchange – was supposed to be - that other areas of that system, would fill in, where the you could not - and pass on vital information and knowledge to your child (the next generation.) Has this happened to your satisfaction? - Since your child is, your responsibility. This inter-generational disfunction is prevalent – what are the consequences? - With the current arrangement – it seems that, the next generation have lost out – we can see this in the global protests (for related article - click here.) CONCLUSION The truth of the matter is – it is our responsibility to preserve ourselves, if we want to live an enjoyable life – placing our lives into the hands of another – especially those who are only interested in ‘grabbing power’ – cannot end well. These struggles are not new – in fact, just as information and knowledge is passed down from generation to generation – so are the struggles. The liberty and freedom fought for by our ancestors – will get lost within a generation, if it is not a priority by the individuals to preserve it – and defend it – when met with opposition. Unfortunately, the ‘fantasy world’ that has been created – has fooled many people into thinking, that they still have freedom and rights – now, it is becoming more evident that ‘human rights’ for many societies and cultures around the world, are just words.

iGURU!’s – Weekly Review – 22nd December 2019 In the game of chess the word “Zugzwang” refers to a situation, whereby whatever move the player makes, s/he will be at a disadvantage, yet the player is compelled to move. I believe that the term “Zugzwang” is an appropriate description to describe the perilous situation facing global elites, as they struggle with diverse and multi-faceted global crisis. Living in the UK, enables one to observe the particular political crisis here, but there are similar crisis in the US, mainland Europe - Paris protests, South America (Chile, Bolivia, Colombia etc…,) Asia (Hong Kong, India.) We know that both internally and externally - globally, the current State system, its institutions, ideas and ethos, are being severely challenged. Major change is going to happen, one way or another. However, what remains to be seen – anticipated, is from where precisely, the shock to the system will come - the shock which will trigger this ‘epic change process.’ Will it be financial and economic? (for 'financial crisis' news - click here,) political and social (click here) or as a result of an incident leading to military conflict (click here,) these precipitating events are as yet unknown. As this process continues to unfold, it seems that the best, any one currently in a position of power can do, is to hang on feverishly to the status quo, however bad that looks, whilst mouthing platitudes about ‘hope’ and ‘change.’ Those leaders who have dared to propose and implement solutions, are and will continue, to face inevitable confrontation from the people. In the West we see the example of the hapless President Macron, whose Pension reform plan has resulted in a nationwide strike, by a wide range of employees/workers (for related article click here.) His plight is not an isolated one and in an article – “Americans Don’t Protest In The Streets Like the French Do – Yet” - Harold Meyerson makes an interesting comparison between the responses of the labour and workers movements in both countries (US and France) – he concludes by referring to the French situation as a ”Bargaining with the power structures in the streets? A proud French tradition – and a growing American reality.” However, for any ‘bargaining,’ to take place, their must be some ‘trust’ between the parties in the first place, globally. All trust has evaporated as people have been exposed to the ‘self – serving’ nature of their political systems, the ‘Self’ in this case being the political and oligarchic elites of most nations, the obvious lack of power within the system itself, the emptiness of political rhetoric, the powerlessness of their so-called leaders/representatives, the blatant venality and corruption, which is globally and endemic – its lack of any ‘ethical foundation.’ For example, ‘human trafficking,’ ‘slavery’ (both old and modern) and crimes against children (paedophilia) are rithe on the planet and form a regular and prominent feature of the world we inhabit. It seems that the people will not bargain with this lot for the history of their recorded crimes are legion and as a consequence not only have people lost trust in those who run the planet, but they themselves have lost the ‘right to rule’ - in a word they have lost - ‘Legitimacy!’ (for related article click here.) Hence – ‘Zugzwang’ – there is no ‘appropriate move’ for the power elite to make. They should therefore leave the board altogether. I have expressed a general sentiment, but I believe that such a conclusion is inevitable, if one seriously and impartially considers the evidence – The state of the Planet – the state of the Nation State - The state of the Environment - and the state of the People. My own researches, lead me to believe that the solutions are there, but that the people have been and are being deprived of the power to put them into practice. ‘OURABORAS’ How can this change come about? In a previous Weekly Review, I referred to the symbol of the ‘ouraboras.’ In brief, this symbol is a mystical symbol of the serpent. In this symbolic serpent image, the snake (serpent) can be seen, devouring its own tail. The symbol itself is regarded as a symbol of ‘regeneration’ and even ‘eternal Existence/Life.’ But even here, within a symbol of ‘eternity’ and ‘regeneration,’ there exists ‘destruction’ – namely, the serpent swallowing its own tail. Some would see this as ‘Creative Destruction,’ the ‘breaking of eggs (some would substitute ‘heads’) – to make an omelette’ – the Free Masonic/Illuminati - ‘Order from Chaos.’ It is a well founded and well understood ‘Cosmic Principle.’ But can any understanding/intelligence be garnered from this cosmic truth – to assist ordinary people in preparing and positioning themselves in order to secure their own, their families - and communities safety and well-being during these times? In nature, snakes shed their skins and have been known to eat their shedded skins - and in rare cases, even their own tails – often mistaking it for prey (for related article - click here.) Snakes eating their own skin is an echo of this powerful ‘ouraboras’ symbol – the old is eaten – destroyed – what relevance does this symbol of destruction have for us in general? Our default position should always be ‘Unconditional Love,’ Since this is the ultimate ‘Cosmic Principle’ (click here) and it is in times of crisis, paradoxically – that we should be especially very aware of this Universal Principle. It can often be very difficult, especially when as a Universal Principle, stripped of all abstraction – we are called upon to apply it ourselves –‘concretely,’ in an individual case (click here) - Since wise words, sayings and admonitions are all fine - but often hard to comprehend, follow and practice - when sitting on a hot stove! But we should seek to abide by and live by it – yes – even through a crisis and it can be achieved – our planet has been blessed with many fine examples – Religious/spiritual examples - Lord Yeshua, Buddha, Lao Tzu and others etc - political examples ‘Gandhi - Martin Luther King - The Way Of Peace. Through the symbol of the ‘ouraboras’ we get a hint as to how the change may occur – you see – the ‘system’ contains within itself – its own ‘destructive’ / ‘negative’ energies. At a certain point in time the dominant/ruling idea which underpins the system ‘bifurcates’/‘splits’ - and like a ‘split mind’ eventually itself, destroys the form – i.e. the snake devours its own tail. To use a martial arts example, it is the fighting technique/principle, which under pins the Tai Chi self-defence system. That of using the ‘energy’ of one’s opponent against themselves. Those who understand its application, know that in addition to having apparently ‘yielded’ to an opponent – there is ‘a point of stillness’ – an ‘inflection point,’ where the energy is shifted from one to its opposite – from ‘aggressor’ and would be ‘conqueror’ – one’s opponent is turned into ‘helplessness’ and ‘defeat.’ Through the stillness, we become the victor. There is no need to hate – Anybody. However, this ‘stillness’ has to be understood and there is insufficient space here, to go into the matter fully, save to say – it is not ‘the inert stillness’ of the ‘corpse,’ but the ‘dynamic stillness’ of all ‘organic living systems,’ which from ‘point to point’ – ‘moment to moment’ are not ‘dead,’ but are ‘vibrant’ with infinite power. It is from this ‘point of stillness,’ that the solutions are found – therefore, do not confuse stillness with the inert – the inactive, but the ‘considered’ and ‘considerable’ ‘active’ – becoming that which cannot be stopped. Through this understanding we realise that we are not the ‘necessary agents’ for the destruction and eventual collapse of the system - and that it's proponents – those who support it – those whose ideas once gave Life to the system, will eventually turn on it and destroy it. Sometimes these events occur as an act of ‘deliberate will’ by an individual or group, who on seeing the decline within the system itself, seek to change it through ‘radical change’ in an attempt to preserve it. At other times it is through internal rivalry and the corruption, which is developed within the system itself. In the article - 'Ministers ‘terrified’ as Dominic Cummings plans ‘Valentine’s massacre’ for civil service' - it explores the current status within the UK Government and civil service, following the UK elections. The article states - "One official told The Sunday Times: “Everyone either talks of eating or being eaten." Another scenario is the ‘maniacal psychopathic’ individual who having ‘attained’ power through their acts, are the seeds of the systems own eventual destruction. Then, there is simple hubris, that attitude of mind where excessive arrogant pride, will eventually lead to one’s own demise. The story of Humanity is filled with characters, who would fill all and any of the above mentioned roles – these are the agents of change, which shall ultimately destroy the system. But what of ‘the people?’ some would say – where do they fit in? – how is their energy used in this part of the process? – the process that marks the progress to extinction of the system. Romantic notions of Revolutionary change aside – mass violence is always bloody! Most people want peace, therefore although there have been forces that have stirred within them, the impulse to rage – that rage is a reluctant one – thankfully so - for obvious reasons. Since that power once unleashed cannot always be carefully, controlled and contained. To be sure, it shall go where ever it wills – and so even the most skilled ‘Social Alchemist,’ can be swept away by its power – and even destroyed in the process - these Cosmic forces should not be played with. Hence – “Zugzwang.” REFERENCES TO ARTICLES, VIDEOS ETC To view the contents of this index – click on the subject of interest below. ALPHABETICAL ORDER

It’s the same boring ‘show of old politics’ rehashed - a political fare, which I am now finding quite indigestible - and it seems it will remain that way, for as long as we are removed from the true purpose of democratic politics. A primary purpose, is to provide a civil and safe manner, where one can freely hold opinions and views and a forum for meaningful debate, discussion - and also a place for decision making, which should reflect a ‘consensus,’ of what the people want. Reflect their values and their will, through leaders who serve the people. The rules of the ‘political game,’ should reinforce this purpose and thus also reinforce the elements of a ‘civil society.’ The political system should also, be able to hold members of the political/power elite to account, if these standards are not met. In a previous review, I discussed these and related ideas in the ‘matrix illusion of politics’ – here is the link. ‘HUMPTY DUMPTY’S LAW’ About three and half years ago in the UK - the ‘Brexit Sitcom’ began – when David Cameron, a former Prime Minister put forward the idea of a referendum to leave the EU – since then, the country has been seriously divided – and it seems, that there can be no peace as the country’s political system is broken - and like ‘Humpty Dumpty’ - the pieces cannot be put back together again. So what to do? - When Humpty’s Law is in play – the solution is simple, first the mess must be swept away – But who is to wield the broom! ‘NEW POLITICS IN AN OLD PARADIGM’ Britain’s current politics and its current divide between left and right, is old politics breaking out with a vengeance! To this inherent conflict has been added, Brexit, political incompetence and dangerous self-interest - or ‘Adventurism.’ Whilst all may agree on the perilous nature of the problems facing the UK body politic – there are no suitable permutations, which can ensure the continuance and survival of the current political order. Let me give you some idea of this complexity. For example, Nigel Farage the ‘Supremo,’ behind much of the convulsions, that has wracked and all but destroyed the ‘old order’ and leader of the Brexit Party, did not win a single seat (read more here.) Many commentators, have as a consequence, written him off as a spent force. Given his surefootedness in the past, I cannot conceive that he would make such fundamental unforced errors and can therefore only assume, that far from being out of the ‘political game,’ he has a ‘cunning plan.’ Therefore look out for his newly formed and currently obscure ‘Reform Party,’ as being instrumental in the continuing future dismantling of the ‘Old Empire.’ This means that the game shall continue to be played out - but more violently – why? – Because the root problems are unresolved. If one adds all the various ‘problems’ currently facing the UK – Brexit, political division, social unrest and disorder, lack of investment in social infrastructure – and physical/material infrastructure - lack of support and funding in social projects, housing shortage – NHS challenges – and poverty. Considered separately, you would believe that the current system – the current paradigm, was able to deal with this situation. Has British society faced serious social problems in the past? Yes it has – one only has to look at the United Kingdom following the 2nd World War. The ‘fractured’ state and the ‘crumbling’ social environment faced by the generation following the 2nd World War is similar to what we are now facing. But there has been no recent major war of the Nations in Europe - and no bombs have been dropped on the UK – but the UK is in a political, social and economic state, similar to a country that has been at war. Those politicians, bureaucrats and elite after the 2nd World War, had the common sense and humanity to implement a social program, which was designed to assist and help the ordinary man and woman in society. It was these reforms that formed the basis of modern British society, with its social and welfare reform and which resulted in the NHS and massive social and housing projects - and the modern British welfare state (for related article - click here.) Such actions are not unique to the UK. ‘ACROSS THE POND’ In America following the Great Depression of the 1930s, there was president Roosevelt’s New Deal – it was famously said, that Roosevelt extorted this program of social development from the Bankers and other ruling elite of America, warning them that if they did not agree to these measures for reform and finance these projects - they would soon be the victims of social revolution and conflagration. Roosevelt himself, was a member of this elite, yet he was able to see the writing on the wall. It is a measure of statesmanship/womanship that an individual with prescience is able to see future consequences, which others have not seen or maybe, willfully choose to deny – as a consequence, such an individual often has to make decisions against his or her own personal, social class and other sectional interests, for the benefit of the ‘Commonwealth.’ Such is the nature of true leadership. If we want to know the reason why practically all modern political debate falls into ‘narrow straight jackets’ of ‘race’ (immigration), gender (transgender, politics, feminism) and class (left - right paradigm divide) - the answer is because, Western political and economic ideas/ideology (which form the principle ideas in global strategic affairs) - has currently failed to produce the statesmen and women (with the occasional exception,) who have had the vision, prescience, strength of mind, will, generosity, magnanimity – and common humanity to ‘lead’ the people – into the next evolutionary step of Human Consciousness. They have failed. This is probably why – on the run-up to voting day in Britain – many were stuck between a rock and a hard place – who do you vote for? – when both candidates seem juvenile and incompetent. I read an article titled – ‘British public stuck with two ‘dreadful’ candidates for prime minister, economist says’ - Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics is quoted as saying – “It is a terrible choice… …Two dreadful, inadequate, dissembling, incompetent politicians and one of them is definitely going to be prime minister.” According to President Erdoğan (President of Turkey) – Europe is facing a ‘serious leadership crisis’ (read more here) - he states - “When we come to Europe, there is now a serious crisis in leadership. I can’t say that any particular leader sets example.” Erdoğan is not the first person to comment about the poor quality of leadership, namely that there is a crisis when it comes to leadership. However there are many articles which extend the points Erdoğan makes, beyond Europe – some authors claim that there is a ‘global leadership deficit.’ I discussed this in a previous review – to read click here. (For other articles on the 'global leadership deficit' - click here - and here.) ‘ELECTED DICTATORSHIPS’ This week in the UK, we saw the general elections take place – between the Labour Party (represented by left-winger Jeremy Corbyn) and the Tories (represented by right-winger Boris Johnson) – the result? - pro-Brexit, Tory – Mr. Boris Johnson, secures his role at Number 10 Downing Street, as Prime Minister. At the very least, the general elections gave the people of the UK an opportunity for serious consideration and debate of the often tedious and drawn out - ‘Brexit Saga’ – tedious, because a mature polity should have by now, resolved the issues raised by it. The prolonged delay in its resolution, has turned UK politics into a global spectacle – UK politics like much else in a modern consumer society, has now become a second rate ‘soap opera.’ The seriousness of the issues confronting the nation, are presented in comical ‘puppet show,’ mode - for anyone who takes these issues seriously, with Johnson and Corbyn, during the election campaign, arguing points like children in a playground (for related article - click here) - and then there are the supporters of both camps, adopting the typical noisy ‘tribal stance,’ that is the familiar backdrop to what now passes for politics today, in most Western Democracies. The intolerance of opponents, the synthetic debates and of course, the supine media, who because of their general failure over the last couple of decades or so, to hold power to account and report truth, are now in the main, simply a catalyst to ignite the emotional hysteria of the people. All this has replaced informed political debate, discussion and reason. I ask - since when has it become the norm in society, that a difference of opinion is equated to hate? (for related article - click here.) Since when, has reasoned argument become anathema in a debate, or ‘consensus,’ not just a dirty word, but near impossible to achieve on practically anything of importance? Hence my ‘boredom’ – but don’t get me wrong - these are not trivial issues – for the stakes have never been higher. The election in the UK marked the demise of a political system, which currently operated in the UK. We can now expect, ‘Humpty’s Law,’ to come into effect. Of course there will still be much wrangling, shouting, histrionics and even dissent – but the ‘broom is about to be wielded!’ – For we shall be seeing the beginning of a ‘new politics’ – the problem however, is that it will remain within the ‘Old Paradigm.’ The UK like practically all of the political systems is entering a period of interregnum – a period of ‘New Politics,’ within an ‘Old Paradigm.’ So we shall see that for example in the UK - despite statements to the contrary by the victor Boris Johnson of ‘one nation conservatism,’ the divide shall continue – there is no room for ‘consensus’ – to the ‘victor of spoils’ – winner takes all! In general, political systems will continue to see the ascent of what is termed, ‘right wing’ politics - for how long, one cannot be specific, but its dangers are clear, one only has to look at modern European and South American political history to see the consequences of that, but that is not its signal failure, since if you are a ‘right winger,’ that consequence is what you wanted - presumably. No - it’s signal failure is that it cannot deliver what the people want which in a word is Peace! Political ideas have become stale, political tools blunted and ineffective, political systems are broken – but the flow of the ‘evolution of Human Consciousness continues, it can no longer be ‘shaped by these old methods – and any power elite, needs to know and understand the language of this ‘New Paradigm,’ in Consciousness, which is now dominating and shaping humanity. ‘POST ELECTION BLUES’ And now - for post election Blues! – In the UK there are already reports that the elections were ‘interfered with.’ In an article ‘Someone Interfered in the UK Election & It Wasn’t Russia’ the writer states that a smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn “was driven by billionaire-controlled media outlets, along with intelligence and military agencies, as well as state media like the BBC” (read the article here.) Dominic Cummings, who is the advisor to the now UK Prime Minister, Mr. Boris Johnson – has also made comments regarding the UK electoral process stating - “the entire regulatory structure around national elections including data is really bad” and “wide open to abuse” (read the full article here.) How can it be that in a modern society bristling with technology, it seems impossible to have ‘fraud free elections?’ It’s not just in the UK that such allegations swirl. In the US, we are witnessing the politically and socially corrosive effects, of a people who have lost faith in their political structures and at its roots lay allegations of election interference (for related article - click here) - to broader ones of vote rigging (click here.) In such a political system it does not take much to descend into serious name calling, (click here) allegations of bribery, corruption and even treason! – what are people meant to think? - do? - how can such a political system survive? Back in the UK - since the announcement of the new UK Prime Minister - Anti-Johnson/Tory – left activists/protesters (‘Brexit Remainers’) have taken to the street to declare - “Boris Johnson: Not My Prime Minister” and “Defy Tory Rule” (read article here.) ‘BREXIT - GOODBYE DEAR EU’ (BAD IDEA?) Following the election results - Britain is now on its way to leave the EU on the 31st January 2020. Whilst Mr. Boris Johnson asks the ‘Brexit Remain’ voters to begin the ‘healing process’ (click here) and to “find closure” (click here) This is unlikely to happen - let’s face it – the quality of debate and behaviour to date hasn’t been inspiring and in all likelihood, it will be a resumption of politics as usual. However, Boris, now has a ‘big stick,’ ("speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far" - Theodore Rooslevelt) - as well as ‘Humpty’s broom.’ His allies have already prepared a ‘hitlist,’ of organisations, (BBC) and institutions (The House Of Lords, NHS) and perhaps even individuals (The Queen?) – ready to be ‘whacked!’ - The Supreme Court in particular - Beware, since that embarrassing ‘prorogation debacle’ - you know, the one in which you ruled Boris broke the law……… In short - if you thought it was bad before, then hold onto your seats as the UK now descends from ‘Chaos into Hell.’ How can one predict such startling things – simple - These are non-party political observations, these are observations made much deeper, observations on the very current nature and structure of UK politics – I am not Boris bashing - simply because given the current facts of UK political life, the results would be same with PM Jeremy Corbyn, or indeed any politician, who was not an exceptionally gifted statesman/woman. Unfortunately, such individuals are a rare commodity on the global stage (for related article - click here.) The truth is that, UK politics has already so rapidly declined – and is in such a mess! - It can therefore be predicted, that the wounds will not be healed and that the further chaotic descent shall continue.

I have taken this approach, because I feel that given the political, economic and social environment and given the seriousness of these events a ‘deeper’ language of discourse is required. This language is that which we could conveniently style the ‘spiritual,’ ‘metaphysical’ or ‘transcendental.’ However, it has been my intention, to apply these ideas directly, make them central to the discussion of the ‘crisis,’ we are witnessing and also eventually central to any proposed solution. Last year, I co-authored an article with ‘The Urban Hermit’ - titled ‘(1) 'Spiritual Technology' (2) The Coming 'Spiritocracy' (3) 'Spirito-cratic' Communal Systems.’ The article discussed the subject of ‘Spiritual Technology,’ the natural and evolutionary development of ‘Spiritocracy’ and ‘Spirito-cratic,’ human social systems. It also explored the issues that Humanity currently faces, as demonstrated by the global protests. This article will draw upon the ideas explored in that article. INEVITABLE - ‘CYCLES OF LIFE & TIME’ “Change is the only constant.” Seasons come and go – each year – Autumn – Winter – Spring – Summer. Each day the sun comes up – makes its way across the sky – and at the end of the day - it goes down – then - the moon comes up – and so on. These are some of the cycles of life. Continually – changing - beginning and ending. The ancient symbol – ouraboras – illustrates this well. A serpent, usually represented in a circle – eating its own tail – representing “the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation” (Britannica Encyclopedia.) This symbol is referred to in ancient Egyptian and Greek texts - to view the symbol click here. We are all familiar with these ‘cycles of life,’ in one way or another – we cannot escape them as they manifest continually throughout our lives they are central to our ‘human experience.’ It can often be overlooked, how these changes take place and why - namely the ‘science of cycles’ – and the ‘understanding’ behind the manifestation of things. For example, we all experience changes in our personal lives – in our relationships, with family and friends, at work. If we are able to bring ‘awareness’ to our experiences – it is possible for us to take control over events that occur in our lives – namely, consciously influencing and manipulating our life experiences. I believe what we are seeing take place across the globe – is a ‘cycle in time’ – ‘history in the making’ - a ‘process’ - whereby the ripple effects of a new beginning – are being triggered by the people, through their continuing protests against present governing systems. In addition, they have withdrawn both their energy and consent. These ripples will continue – until the change that the people want to see, becomes their living reality and experience. As a result of people’s new found ‘realisation’ and ‘awareness’ about their circumstances – they have become ‘instrumental’ – driven by their dire plight, to bring about change. In many cases they have seen that their leaders have implemented changes that are not humane - and are against the interests of them, their families and communities – and as a result, the people have had to take steps to claim their sovereignty and human rights. In this ‘realisation’ of ‘illusion’ - and a ‘reclaiming,’ taking back of their lives, the people shall again suceed. The process shall be concluded successfully, since it is part (a concluding part,) of a particular cyclic process. How long this process will take cannot be determined, what the ‘new societies’ will look like maybe unclear, since there are near infinite ‘imponderables,’ ‘uncertainties’ and ‘variables’ - and to predict therefore, requires more the talents of the ‘seer’ than the scientist. ‘SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY’ "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Arthur C. Clarke.) Arthur C. Clarke was not far off the point - however, the truth in the matter, is more startling still. The time has come - the development of Human Consciousness is such - that the reality about that term - which we style 'Spirituality' - should be properly and fully understood. 'Spirituality' is in actuality - a 'Higher Dimensional Science' - and as a 'science' has its own accompanying 'Technology.' As with all scientific disciplines - it commences with a 'Postulate' based on axioms and is founded on logic. As with all scientific disciplines its initial 'Postulate' dictates its eventual 'scope' and 'field.' By its logic, it is both internally consistent and independently self existing - which means that it can also 'coexist' with other systems similar to - or even antagonistic to it. A modern example in 'science' would be the 'uneasy' relationship physicists acknowledge between 'relativity theory' and 'quantum mechanics.' Regarding its technological aspects - like all technologies - it is used by individuals to manipulate 'Space - Time' - thus in the three dimensional world this comprises the 'material physical existence' and its 'constituent elements.' As with all technologies, it comprises 'tools' / 'apparatus' - whose exercise by these individuals - is a matter of 'skill.' In this sense 'Spiritual Technology' is no different from a 'hammer' and a 'saw.' Its difference lies in the extent, length and breadth of its application. Its 'tools' / 'apparatus' - operate openly on the 'multi-dimensional' level - and thus, its operation can be seen in this world (three dimensional) and in those dimensions beyond. This 'science' - and its accompanying 'Spiritual Technology' - was initially deposited here on Earth (third dimensional realm) - but quickly became the exclusive preserve of a few - so called 'initiates.' The consequence of such an action was that the knowledge, power and efficacy of its use, was not widely distributed amongst the human populace - and therefore as with all artificially restrained organic processes - which human consciousness is - its knowledge, became 'inbred' - its efficiency 'faltered' - its 'understanding' 'died.' In its place was replaced 'God' - by so called 'gods' - who created 'God Systems' - to act as 'conduits' - not just for the knowledge of this 'Spiritual Technology' - but as conduits for its 'Power,' which they monopolised. Over millennia - this process too 'degenerated' - into full blown 'Religion' - 'ignorance' and 'superstition'. There were many ‘tributaries’ of these changes which manifested in a variety of ways - Shamanism - Magic - Alchemy - old style Paganism - orthodox religious worship and so on. This is not to belittle the usefulness of these 'tributaries' - but all without exception were subject to 'God Systems' and the limits that 'God Systems' impose upon the Consciousness of those subject, to those 'God Systems.' 'GOD SYSTEMS' 'God Systems' often have a peculiar and pernicious effect on Human Consciousness - this is not to belittle the attainment and achievements of such 'God Systems' - but they were always clearly intended by the 'Cosmos' - 'Cosmic Evolution' - 'Consciousness Evolution' - to be merely temporary (even though they spanned many millennia.) Human Consciousness - is a self regulating system - whilst Human Consciousness may allow itself to be 'fooled' its eventual path cannot be denied. The ascent of Humanity is such and the state of its Human Consciousness is such - that it is ready to assume 'a Truth' - (despite popular conception there exists many 'parallel truths' - if one is speaking in terms of ‘Higher Dimensional’ / ‘Hyper Dimensional’ existences) thus we can only truly speak of ‘a Truth' - and even that with extreme caution. A 'WORKING DEFINITION' OF 'SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY' To start this process of definition – you must first - empty your mind – of all previous ‘understandings’ – ‘conceptions’ – and ‘meanings’ – of the word ‘Spirit’ – as you have been used to use it. In brief – ‘Spiritual Technology’ can be regarded as having two aspects to be considered, when starting from the common / general understanding of the terms ‘God’ - ‘Spirituality’ and ‘Religion.’ Starting from current conceptions of those terms, we can define ‘Spiritual Technology’ as being – 1. The ‘removal’ of ‘Religion’ - from both ‘God’ and ‘Spirituality’ - this leaves you with a concept of ‘God’ and ‘Spirituality’ - without ‘Religion.’ 2. The ‘removal’ of ‘God’ - from ‘Spirituality’ – this leaves you with the pure form – metaphysical form of ‘Spirituality’ – without ‘God’ or ‘Religion.’ Can you conceive of such a thing? What we have attempted to define, is a concept of ‘Spirit’ without the ‘god made’ - 'man formulated' - accretions of ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ – some will ask - how can that be? - Those who believe in 'God' will say - 'how can anything precede ‘God?’' – and how is it possible to access ‘God’ without a systemic set of beliefs and practices? To those who do not believe in ‘God,’ these arguments are irrelevant and therefore I do not address their considerations at this point. By taking this Trinity of - ‘Spirituality,’ - ‘God,’ ‘Religion’ – and ‘removing’ all considerations of ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ – we are left with in essence a ‘raw power,’ as yet undefined. The nearest current idea / conception of this ‘raw power’ would be the Daoist conception of the Dao, of which by practice the Daoist says nothing more in terms of defining its nature. The Daoist proceeds by way of 'allusion,' by 'analogy' to nature - and so forth. Our conception of ‘Spirit’ therefore, cannot be assimilated with the Dao - since we shall seek to say something of this ‘Spirit’s’ nature. Furthermore, we shall define it as a ‘Technology’ – in addition, to being a ‘Universal Force.’ If there is to be any analogy used by us – it is with this modern conception of ‘Technology’ – in the sense that, it can be ‘wielded’ by an individual and used for and in ‘practical application’ – since this is very much a ‘practical spirituality.’ However, before we can do this – we must, as we have tried to do above, strip away all conceptions of ‘God’ and ‘Religion.’ In view of its open rejection of heretofore definitions - with regards to the concept of 'Spirit' - I cautiously refer to the above as a 'working definition.' ‘SPIRITOCRACY’ & ‘SPRITO-CRATIC COMMUNAL SYSTEMS’ What is ‘Spirtocracy?’ – ‘Spiritocracy’ - is a community of individual humans - whose lives are governed by the proper ‘understanding’ of ‘Spiritual Technology.’ It was therefore incumbent upon us to define what we mean by ‘Spiritual Technology’ (which we have done above) - in order to understand, how this can be the basis of a human community. What are ‘Spirito-cratic Communal Systems?’ – We define 'Spirito-cratic Communities,' as being communities inhabited by 'spiritual beings.' In this category of Beings - we include the human race. However, having said that - it can be plainly and truthfully said - that there does not currently exist a single 'Spirito-cratic Community' on Planet Earth. Without exception, humans today do not exist in 'sovereignty' - but exist in 'bondage.' Humans are not only slaves but are betrayed by their leaders / representatives at every turn. This is inevitable and will be the result in any 'human social community' - where there does not exist - 'Telepathy.' In the absence of 'Telepathy' - exercised by every single individual as a 'skill' - you will be lied to by your leaders and betrayed - since they can lie to you with impunity - there can be no substitute for this necessary form of accountability, with regards to human societal organisation. OLD PARADIGM COLLAPSE The conditions people currently face across the globe – is virtual insanity and basic necessities which are the basis of a civilised human society - are not being met. Any ‘society,’ which fails to provide these things for its inhabitants, breaches the ‘social contract,’ between a leader and its inhabitants. We can categorise them as ‘four necessities,’ or ‘four pillars,’ necessary to sustain human life. 1. The right of access to Law and Legal Assistance to enforce rights 2. The right of access to sufficient clean and wholesome food and water. 3. The right to shelter in the form of housing and / or other forms of accommodation 4. The Right to healthcare and access to the means to maintain a healthy life. This is not about ideology or ‘isms’ – ‘Socialism as opposed to ‘Capitalism, this is not about political preferences - it is about ‘Cosmic Law!’ A society which currently fails to do these things is now ‘cosmically,’ doomed to fail! To those who may say, what about previous societies, they did not provide these things? - the answer is simple – ‘Cosmic Law’ is a ‘Calculus’ – and all things are ‘relatively’ considered. Given the current wealth of the Planet and the prevalent technological advances, no person should be denied access to any of the above. Societies which ignore this injunction and try - are doomed – the ‘Old Paradgm,’ of Human existence which has operated within a ‘current cycle’ for approximately 6000 years is dead! Further, bogus political, spiritual and social structures – which try to ‘imitate’ this coming process – ‘Thousand Year Reichs,’ or so called ‘Golden Ages,’ which do not truly reflect and represent, the ‘energetic pattern,’ of this ‘New Paradigm,’ are similarly doomed! – Remember ‘Consciousness can be fooled but not mocked.’ Will the ‘birth pangs,’ be difficult? – Probably – we are already witnessing them – but no ‘scenario’ is set in stone and the people themselves through their own ‘conscious awareness,’ can make the birth pangs as easy or difficult as it needs to be – in this we are all truly ‘Sovereign.’ What can be done practically? - I can give a personal example - PRACTICAL ACTION - ARUK COMMUNITIES Born out of a need to enable individuals without money to gain access to the UK legal system and justice, Advocacy Rights UK (ARUK) was born. As a result of that work and seeing the clear connection of access to legal rights, to homelessness, poverty, sickness (particularly mental health,) we developed a completely independent non government or corporate sponsored sophisticated and private ‘Mutual Self Help organization. For info click here. THE ‘FOUR PILLARS’ AROUND THE GLOBE In fact, there are many current examples whereby the ‘Four Pillars’ mentioned above, are not only, not being provided by the current system and so called leadership – but being willfully ‘withheld’ from members of the public. This can be seen through the global demonstrations/protests in countries such Equador, Bolivia, Chile, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt - and the list goes on (read related article here.) Without these ‘Four Pillars’ – no leader or ruler can claim to be performing their function. Note these are things to be provided internally within a society (domestic provision) there is of course also a threat of a community from the outside. But the ‘Four Pillars’ are the things that a ruler or a statesman or woman should ensure that the society they govern has access to this freely. The failure of the leadership to provide these ‘Four Pillars’ – will eventually lead to the people providing it for themselves – namely, departing from the corrosive and non-beneficial structures in society – and creating small self sufficient ‘mutual aid’ communities. This is already happening in the US, where homelessness has become prevalent due to unaffordable housing – tent communities are popping up across America – whilst some areas such as ‘Skid Row’ in Los Angeles are extremely dangerous – there are others which have organised themselves so that their living experience is safe and bearable - but still challenging (for related video - click here.) CONCLUSION So – people are being thrust back into ‘community living’ – because the current conditions are not sustainable. Namely, living in a society that places a greater emphasis on material things rather than human beings and their welfare. Evolution is a continual process – and whilst many individuals such as those homeless in the US – and others who face diabolical living conditions – are just about ‘surviving’ – the next ‘evolutionary step’ from this is to create new structures and systems – which will enable Humanity and Human Consciousness to ‘thrive’ in this third dimensional plane. To do this, humans must become efficient in operating ‘Spiritual Technology’ themselves – i.e. having the skills necessary to influence and manipulate their physical environment. Humans must become sovereign – independent – self sufficient – and be conscious of the mutuality of human existence – i.e. for one human to have regard for the other.

This Maya/Illusion operates through ‘Time,’ as conceived in a particular manner, which we can describe generally as ‘linear time.’ ‘Time’ itself however, is non-existent, since there only really exists a permanent/eternal - ‘Now’ - and thus, ‘Time’ itself becomes one of the ‘foundations of illusion.’ To avoid ‘perplexity,’ ‘delusion’ and ultimately ‘madness,’ (confusion of thinking) individual Human Consciousness is compelled to build on these ‘illusions,’ until ultimately ‘specified’ illusions appear and are ‘agreed’ to be ‘real’ – such ‘agreements’ are what sustain the ‘collective consciousness,’ from which as a well spring, we all draw. ‘Politics’ - is one such ‘agreement’ - which we have all collectively drawn, from this wellspring. My own researches about such matters, have led me to the conclusion, that such comments and observations as I have made above, are not so strange - even to the mind of modern scientists. One only has to enter and properly examine, the scientific yet strange world of quantum mechanics, to get a sense of the illusory nature of ‘matter,’ ‘space’ and ‘time.’ So - linear - ‘timelines’ are ‘constructions’ - this is the ‘Synthetic’ created/constructed operation of ‘Time’ – it could be simply described as ‘everyday time’ - an ‘artificial time construct,’ which is constructed for the benefit of a dominant power – be it a religious or secular Hierarchy. This is in part, the reason, established Spiritual and Political Hierarchies - organised Religions and political Empires, devoted time and intelligence, resources and materials to such subjects as Astrology, formation of Calendars - and the study of ‘Dates and Times.’ In the Bible for example, it states that the Anti-Christ seeks to ‘change times and laws...’ - Daniel 7. 25, KJV - What’s that all about? Whether you believe the whole Anti-Christ thing to be nothing more than a fairy tale, or whether like US Vice President Pence (for related article click here) and others - and also certain Schools of Geo-Political and spiritual thought, who regard the accounts detailed in a number of various sacred books, to be accurate future predictions. The point I would draw your attention to, is the significance of ‘Time’ – to this prophesied and hitherto unprecedented political and spiritual future global ruler. But there’s nothing new in any of that. Since a global or would be global ruler must first ‘shape’ – global consciousness, through the lenses of ‘Time.’ Christianity is neither unique nor alone in this understanding – it is a prerequisite of all ‘successful,’ new – founding global paradigms, be they political or spiritual, Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist – that ‘Time’ – itself must first be ‘shaped’/‘constructed’ - and this process can be as innocuous and innocent as having the ruler declared a ‘God’ or celebrating his birthday. There are other aspects to this but they can wait – the destruction of knowledge, books burned, people burned - cultures destroyed - then of course there is ‘History’ itself. History, which can then be written by ‘Scholars’ – at leisure. In order to further construct ‘efficient’ working ‘time-line packages’ – congenial to their construction of a ‘Maya’/Appearance/ Illusion – with the intention serving some/their overall purpose. Of course there are other elements to the process for example, the careful management of individual ‘conscious perception,’ through the control of such institutions as banking and finance, to manage resources i.e. to paradoxically, ‘produce scarcity’ - and the management of individual thought and activity, through what we now term ‘educational’ and ‘political processes,’ to shape thoughts, minds and actions. The unveiling of these mysteries of design to the modern mind, owes much to the works of such giants of the so called ‘alternative’ media and information networks – Jordan Maxwell and David Icke come to mind, who along with many others will be regarded in the future as the pioneers of this new paradigm in Human Consciousness. This ‘time construct,’ then becomes the ‘operating field,’ through which to operate ‘The Purpose,’ whatever that may be and it is through this, with other aspects of a profound and well worked and understood ‘Spiritual Technology,’ Human Consciousness can remain ‘shaped’ and ultimately ‘locked in time’ – ‘Locked in illusion.’ No wonder then that Chronos (Kronus) - the Greek God of ‘Time’ – King of the Titans - was the Supreme Ruler of the Gods – who had to be overthrown by a later generation (his son Zeus) to usher in something new. CYCLES OF TIME – AS ABSTRACT PROCESS But there is also a more ‘organic,’ way of conceiving ‘Time’ - Cycles of time as ‘Process’ – irrespective of what ‘illusory’ – ‘Maya’ - ‘Appearance’ is doing. These descriptions of ‘Time’ are useful when properly understood and operate at all levels of Existence. POLITICIANS – DECEIVERS DECEIVED So for example, in the arena of global politics and world affairs, is it possible that political leaders are themselves victims of this illusion, victims of a ‘false and artificial time construct?’ – namely, are they operating in a world which is not as it seems, are they blind to reality - seduced by ‘matter?’ (lies, money and power?) And if so, could this be an explanation for the chaos, mismanagement, confusion and disorder we witness daily in our communities? In a world where it appears, that wherever one looks it seems, that common sense has departed – could it be that our politicians and leaders are perhaps the most deceived of all? - the deceiver deceived? If this is the case what shall be the consequence? NOW IS THE TIME? I concluded part one of this article considering the US, the legacy of certain values such as freedom and liberty, bequeathed it by its founding fathers and enshrined in its Constitution. But to create and maintain such a state requires the Wisdom of its political elite and the vigilance of its inhabitants to hold them to account. If this does not happen, the ‘project’ fails - and the country has every prospect of not just becoming a ‘failed state,’ but given its current power - it would inevitably become a ‘failed Hegemon’ - a ‘Frankensteinian Monster.’ Was the much vaunted ‘American Dream,’ just that? – ‘Illusory’ – and has it now slipped along with much of European culture/civilisation into a dystopian nightmare? If such a ‘process’ is taking place, it concerns us all, given the still apparent dominance of western values, culture and ideals. If this is happening, such a process should be identified, since it will have consequences for us all. TRUMP – ‘TWEETS’ With the Presidency of Donald Trump - however it ends - History already has sufficient material, to declaim and note an extraordinarily unusual presidency. At the level of the ‘psyche’ (‘process time’) – just below the Maya of ‘linear time’ – I note - just as the halting, stumbling, stuttering - and the unexpected - Emperor Claudius was a ‘necessary’ – follow up, in Rome’s cycle of Empire, to the ‘monstrous’ Emperor - Caligula's wicked and capricious reign – perhaps so too with US President Donald Trump. Certainly, his election was unpredicted by most, unexpected - and at least one faction of the political elite, incorrectly in my view termed the ‘Deep State,’ were and are still in shock. In the eyes of Trump’s supporters, his presidency has been marked by an unprecedented ‘witch-hunt,’ with attempts to remove him - an ‘attempted coup,’ (read more here.) Not living in the US, it is perhaps easier to strive to be impartial in assessing the ‘facts’ - but such a position can also have its pitfalls, in that in attempting ‘neutrality’ – you can lose a sense of what the story is all about – the passions which inflamed the sides – the logic behind the madness. I read an interesting interview/article, by the renown and respected journalist John Pilger titled ‘American Exceptionalism Driving World to War - John Pilger.’ The article deals mainly with the notion of perceived ‘US Exceptionalism’ - and how that plays out in global relations with other nations, notably Russia and China. Pilger bemoans the poor quality of US foreign policy, which he blames on the general incompetence of individuals in the state department, when compared with someone like Henry Kissenger. It’s an interesting read for those assessments alone, but what really caught my eye were the almost throw away comments and observation made about the 2016 US election and the subsequent Trump Era of politics. When asked - “Do you think the impeachment underway against Trump is tantamount to a coup to get rid of him by the Deep State because of his relatively benign stance towards Russia?” John Pilger responds - “There’s a theory, I’m not so sure. Trump’s election in 2016 disturbed a Mafia-like system which the Democrats dominate. Hilary Clinton was the chosen one, how dare Trump seize her throne…..Clinton is the embodiment of a venal system. Trump is its caricature.” If this is a true assessment of US politics today – no wonder, the passionate madness, which has seized large sections of American society - the venom and poisonous rhetoric, which currently spews out from mouths on both sides. ‘THE CHOSEN ONE’ Trump famously said that he was the ‘chosen one,’ (for details - click here) ‘King Of Israel’ (for related article - click here) - and some fundamentalist Christians have declared him the ‘anointed of God’ (for related article - click here) - Is it true? Is it Madness or ‘delusion’/ ‘illusion’? Considered in the context of ‘process’ – ‘psyche time’ - the following observations are just that – ‘observations’ - made without imputation of ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ - ‘good’ or ‘evil,’ of the political ‘left’ or ‘right’ – these are just ‘dualities’ - neither exist without the other. Since it is not our purpose to comment on the ‘illusion’ - but to find out where we are in the ‘process’ - to identify the ‘abstraction of process’ – the world beyond illusion – a realm akin to the purely ‘Platonic Realm’ – the famous allegory of ‘Plato’s Cave’ comes to mind, where shadows are mistaken for that which is real. My aim is to identify – real things - in real time. President Trump’s unprecedented assault on every aspect of global and domestic political life, has affected the psyche of Americans and Humanity at large, in an unpredicted and earth shattering way. In a manner and a way that ‘bloody wars’ failed to do. Of course, if you happened to live in one of the ‘war zones,’ what I am saying would not apply to you, but for onlookers, in particular a western audience - often at a distance - the wickedness, suffering and injustice of ‘bloody global wars’ – Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria…. apparently no longer shock the ‘western psyche’ - which has become immune to it! We had grown tired of bloody warfare - tired in the sense of ‘numbed’ - no ‘bored’ – Apparently – since we can all see ‘War’ - anytime - every day on TV, on the news, in videos and movies….. …….But to see a US President ‘Tweet’ – not just any old tweet, mind – but tweets outrageous, containing for example - public offers to buy up whole countries (for related article click here), tweets detailing public spats and rows with leaders and dignitaries (for related article - click here), tweets of name calling and abuse openly calling fellow politicians ‘criminals,’ ‘crooks’ and ‘shifty’ (for example the reference to Hiliary Clinton as 'Crooked Hiliary' and Adam Schiff as 'Shifty Adam Schiff' - to name a couple.) This is news!!! – News of Cosmic significance! - Cosmic, since its occurrence defies all previous expectations, all hitherto accepted logic and reason. SUPERMEN, SAVIOURS & MESSIAHS What I am saying isn’t new, but it maybe rarely said because of the unusualness of the events being described. Events, which are regarded as epoch making at the time, but which however later may just seem mundane - an anti-climax - what was all that about? – For example, during the apparently epoch making election of America’s reputedly first black President, many regarded it as truly epoch making. To many both black and white, Barack Obama was hailed as a ‘Saviour’ - a ‘Messiah’ – there was so much ‘Hope.’ So much so - that whether in jest or not, I’m still not quite sure, after he had been elected, President Obama implied he was Superman, but disclaimed having been born in a manger, namely as being the Messiah. In an article it quotes Obama refuting claims of being a ‘Saviour,’ stating - "Contrary to the rumours you have heard, I was not born in a manger... ...I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the planet Earth" (read the full article here.) This did not however stop many regarding him as the ‘Anti-Christ,’ (read article here) which strictly speaking he could not be, (if you believe such an analysis of global affairs) since it was a position, which technically for a number of reasons, not least because of the ‘timeline,’ he not possibly hold. So, Maya – then is ‘Illusion’ - and it has a wonderful home in the world of politics – it operates irrespective of race, class, religion or colour - and it is something which we should all be aware of. What’s real for people – is what's brought them out onto the streets! - They have seen through the illusion. The consequences of such an assessment, if correct, is that the many myriad and varied protests we are seeing - shall continue.
